anything in particular to explain it, and
prices worked up to Il net gain of 800
points on yesterdays figure. Still later
the market eased off again but steadied
near the close. There was an absence
of support of any kind and most of the
time the market dragged. This was the
first day for notices of intention to de-
liver cotton on SEPTEMBER contract; these
only amounted to 5000 to 5000 bales

element of news calculated to increase
caution was the yellow fever talk. 1t
was reported that yellow fever had been
discovered on the outskirts of Galveston
Later accounts had it that New. Orleans
had established a temporary quaran-
tine as result, which the small receipts
at that point today would seem to bear
out. The future market closed steady

At 1925 Chief Clerk Browning of the
house presented message from that body
asking for further conference on the
Cuban question.
Senator Davis moved to insist upon the
senate amendment and grant a confer
ence, but Senator Allen asked for di-
vision of the question.
The motion to agree to a conference
was adopted before the second portion of
the motion.
Senator Allen then addressed the SEN
ate. He said that the time had come
when the senate should appoint the con-
ferees, and not the chair.
Senator Aliens motion to have the SEN
ate name the conferees was lost, % to 40.
Sena tor Davis motion was carried and

o'clock, and there was then prospect of
reaching a compromise on the original
basis.
At 1890 the house again recessed until
| a. m.
During this recess the members again
congregated in the lobby in the rear of
the hall and led by several of the younger
members sang many of the popular songs
of the day
In the house as soon as the conference
report had been presented, Mr.. Adams
moved the adoption of the report, and
upon that motion he demanded the prev
ious question.
The galleries gave cheer after cheer as
the resolutions were read. The demand
for the previous question cut off debate,
and Mr. Bailey and Mr.. johnson appealed
for few minutes.
Mr.. Adams refused to yield time for de-
bate owing to the lateness of the hour.
Mr.. johnson protested Indignantly.
Mr.. Bailey demanded the ayes and
noes and roll was called.
The previous question was ordered, III
to l2l.
The first roll call on the adoption of the
resolution showed 203 ayes and noes
