COTTON.
New York, May 20.-To-day's market
for cotton futures was a small one, both
as regards the range of fluctuations and
the volume of business. Around the
opening there was fairly active, buying
orders having accumulated over nighr
early news not altogether meeting ex-
pectations. Prices improved somewhat
several points on local covering and for
eign buying, started by more encouraging
reports from the Liverpool market than
predicted and complaints of bad stands
in a number of sections Of the cotton
belt. Wall street. however. sold quite
freely for a time on a better average
of reports from the Southwest as to the
condition of the growing plant. and New
Orleans sold also OH the theory that Il
big crop was in order. For the balance
of the session trades were scarce with
tendency of price downward under lack
of speculative interest. There was some
selling to realize profits, in the old crop
positions and these options were rela-
lively lower The market closed quiel
with prices unchanged to points net
higher. Total sale $1,000.

The climate is milder than that of

north of the Carolines, the islands

Only five out of the seventeen islands
are really inhabited. These five are in
the southern group. Their names are
Guahan, ltota, Aguigan, Laypan ard
Tinian. The only town and capital Is
on the island Guahan. The islands in
the northern group are more or less

are smoking c%raters.

PYTHIAN SANITARIUM.
The Two Million Dollar Structure
Given to Hot Springs.

Hot Springs. Ark, May 1.-THE con-
struction mere of a National Pythian sani-
tarium is assured. The passage by the
senate of the house bill, granting site
for the building on the government reser-
walton, clinches it. The building will cost
about 81 900, 900. The site is adjoining the
army and navy hospital.
Chicago, May 1.-THE news of the pass
age of the "Pythian site" bill caused much
satisfaction in the several local lodges
last evening. The Chicago lodges have
been foremost in the untiring efforts that
have been made during the last few years
looking towards the erection of splendid
Pythian sanitarium and, now that it
seems practically assured that the govern
ment will cede the desired site, the local
lodges will begin work in earnest, and It
is expected that but little difficulty will
be experienced in financing the project.
Captain w. S. Nedenburgh said last
evening that the Pythians We're deter
mined to make the proposed building one
of the most splendid and substantial
structures in the country
THE site that now seems almost within
our grasp is a beautiful one said he. 1t
is near the army and navy hospital, sit
uated on picturesque slope. We will
have no trouble in raising the 81. 1000
and it is certain that the Chicago lodges
will do fully all that may be expected of
them IN the way of raising money. When
completed our national Sanitarium will be
among the finest public buildings in Amer

GERRY SOCIETY CITED.
Must Obey the New York State
Board of Charities.

Albany, May 11.-Justice Alden Ches-
ter of the supreme court today granted
a writ of mandamus requiring the New
York society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Children to appear, by it's repre-
sentatives, before him in this city on
May IA and show cause why it should
not submit to the rules and regulations
of the state board of charities.
The Gerry society claims that it is not
a charitable institution in such a sense
that it should come under the jurisdic
ton of the state board. Attorney Cen
eraI Hancock, who on behalf of the
state board made the application to the
court for the order to show cause,
claims that the society does come with
in the class of eleemOSynary and char
liable institutions which the state con-
stitution places under the jurisdiction
of state board. The moving papers
show that the application is based on
an affidavit of President William r.
Stewart of the state board of charities,
which alleges that the society refuses
to permit an inspection of it's affairs by
the officials of the board or to submit
reports or to give any information of
its workings.

POISONED THE WATER.
Spanish Agents at Work in the
Camp at Mobile.

Atlanta, Ga, May ia special to the
Constitution from Mobile, says:
A second dastardly attempt to poison
the infantry regiments at Camp Mobile
has been made. Several days ago some
soldiers found in the creek which runs
alongside the grounds, a sack filled with
absorbent cotton, which had been sat
urated with arsenic and tied down be-
meath a rock which juts out into the
stream at a point just above the place
where the soldiers get their drinking
water. BY accident a trooper discov-
cred the deadly trap, removed the sack
and upon the contents being revealed
reported his find to the commanding Of
f1cer.
Strict orders were given not to men
ton the incident and so the matter was
hushed up. Since that day, however,
the creek has been closely watched and
vigilance was rewarded when Corporal
John Sullivan of Company A, Nine
teenth infantry, found a poisoned bag
loaded with arsenic and anchored down
just as in the first instance.
The officers preferred not to discuss
the matter, but among the privates feel
ing is running high and they don't fail
to express themselves.
Spanish spies are known to be lurk-
ing in the neighborhood, where a num-
Der of Spaniards reside. They are all
under strict scrutiny and sensational
disclosures are looked for No one
doubts that agents of Spain are re-
SpOnSible,

ROW IN THE CoRrEs.
Queen Regents Probable Abdication
is Discussed.

Madrid, May 1.-THE chamber dow
er house, had prolonged sitting last
evening, with a view of passing the
current political measures giving the
government authority to procure NE1nds
to continue the war.
Senior Salmeron, the republican lead
er, alluded to the rumors of the queen
regents abdicatiOn, and declared that
the republicans were ready to form a
government forthwith. His remarks
evoked a storm of protests, and Senior
fully ten minutes. Monarchists and re-
publicans shrieked at each other and
banded threats.
The presidents voice was completely
drowned.
When he finally obtained a hearing,
the president, Marquis Vega De Armijo,
requested Senior Salmeron to withdraw
the calumny. Senior SalmerQn refused,
whereupon the president named MIN
and threatened to name him thrice II
he continued his attacks upon the
throne. AS a result of this caution and
of the persistent monarchlst Interrupt
tionS, Senior Salmeron was compelled to
desist.
Senior Sagasta, the premier, then rose
and declared that any one trying to sow
disunion among the SpaniardS when the
nation was engaged in an International
struggle was unworthy of the name of
Spaniard.
Senior Salmeron shouted: ST am a good
Spaniard.''
The explanation was greeted with
monarchistic shouts of mo, no, out with
him.

His appeal was greeted with a gener-

Senior Silveia, leadef of the dissident
conservatives said his party would alb

debate the other budget.

There are about 5000 applications for

BASEBALL LAWSUIT.
George Palmer, Football Player, Loses
Suit Against x u.

Lawrence, May 11.-George Palmer, of
Olathe, Kan, lost his suit against the
University of Kansas Athletic associa-
ton, IN the circuit court in Kansas
CITY, yesterday During the football
season of 1896, Palmer was employed in
assisting members of the Kansas uni
versity football team in preparing for
games and had the charge of the rub
bling down" process after games. Palm
er claims that the manager of the go
team, before his retirement, signed a
contract with him to do the same work
for the '97 team. The new manage
ment declined to recognize him and, be-
ing refused employment, Palmer attach
ed the Kansas teams share of receipts
of the last Thanksgiving day game.
The fact was made evident yesterday
that before the commencement of the
season of 1897 Professor J. W. Adams, a
member of the Kansas university fac
ulty, purchased for a nominal sum the
receipts of the games to be played dur
ing the season SO that the money at
tached by Palmer on Thanksgiving day
did not belong to the association. 1t
was further shown that if the go man
ager signed a contract with Palmer for
the season of '97 he did so without the
consent of the association, and the court
held that that organization could not
be made responsible.

A CUT IN WAGES.
Penn Glass Co. Does Not Explain
Strike May Follow.

Anderson, May 1.-THE Penn Glass
company, which had absorbed the in
terests of the American Glass company
in the plate glass plants in this county,
has made announcement of a wholesale
reduction of wages ranging from to
% per cent and extending from every
man from paymaster to chore boy.
The company has about 800 men en-
plOyed most of the time. The cut comes
unexpectedly, as the plate glass mar
kets, according to employees, do not
warrant any such move. This is the
great antitrust concern, now that the
American company has been absorbed.
Many workmen are quitting.
1t is claimed the company is with
holding wages from some of them and
several suits have been filed. 1t is
probable a general strike will result.
