SENATOR BURROWS DECIDES.
He VIII Not Vote for Addicks in
Any Event.


al will not vote to seat a man who was
not elected to the Senate" said Senator
Burrows this morning, land don't care if
such action does lose the Republicans the
Senate"
The Senator, who is an active member of
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections, was discussing the Addicks title
when he spoke so vigorously.
Il do not think Addicks was elected" he
continued. In fact, it is my belief that
there have been and will be no creden-
tials presented from Delaware that were
good except those OF Dupont. / always
thought that he was elected. But | in
cline to the opinion that his case is res adj
1udicata and cannot be reopened.
1.-The situation in Delaware appears to
be one of anarchy. There is no legal gov
ernment. The Addicks legislature is not
legally organized; the Democratic Iegisla-
ture is composed of men not elected, if the
vote OF Kent county had been properly can
vaSsed."
1t is plain that Senator Burrows favors
a prolongation or continuance of the exist
ing anarchy in Delaware.
He also says that he regards the situa-
ton in the little State as a forcible argu-
ment in favor Of the election of United States
Senators by the people.
Senator Burrows this afternoon presented
a petition from Sheriff John III. johnson
andsxty-siX othercitizan5 of Sussex county,
Del, praying for the appointment Of a
joint commission TO inquire into the po-
litical conditions existing in Delaware
They claim That Delaware has not a Re
publican form of government.

York city, the president of the Pacific Cable
Company, of New York, appeared before

peared before the House Committee. and
denied much that Mr.. ScrymSer had said.
Gen. Swayne concluded his isargumentwith
a brief reference TO what he characterized

asserted that if Americans owned every
dollars worth of stock in both the Pacific
cable companies the probabilities were
that within ten years the bulk of the stock
would be owned in London. IL q man
Should die, he said, his stock would be sold
where money was most plentiful, and that
was in London.
There were two ways, he continued, of
dealing with this situation What could
company do if it was started under for
efgn influence? 1t could charge excessive
rates TO make preferential business ar
rangement Congress, on the other hand,
had the power to stop both these things
For this reason all talk of foreign in

Cotton had a bad break, as we had
anticipated for several days. Prices
s points further on general heavy liq-
uidations by tired holders and disap-
pointed bulls, to 6.S3 for March, SOS for
May and 706 for August, the lowest
prices recorded during this crop sea-

enced by the development of unexpect-
ed weakness in the Liverpool markets,
with a falling off there in the demand
for spot cotton, cables reporting sales
of but 5000 bales, at 1-16d. decline, and
futures closing easy and Add lower.
The receipts were also heavier.
Wheat was very nervous and irregu-

mixed trading brought about by fire.

traders. and their efforts to catch the
swing of the market.
All the news that developed to-day
having any bearing on the stock mar
ket was of an unfavorable nature
This was bad enough of itself for hold
ers of stocks, but to make matters
worse, the bears invented and circulat-
ed war rumors and urged the whole as
a pretext for making another drive at
the market The result was that many
holders were intimidated into liquidat-
ing. while great many intending buy
ers were frightened off. and an irregu-
lar and unsettled fiuctuating market
prevailed from the start.
