COTTON.
New York. July 23.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices one
point lower to = points higher. From
the start speculation was of the scalping
order and at no time during the fore
part of the session did trading reach
any sembance of old time activity.
The bulk of the small business done was
of a local scalping nature for the wind
ing ND of accounts by bulls and bears
who feared to take chances over Sun
day. There were very few orders in evil
dence from abroad or the South. The
Liverpool cables were about up to eX-
pectations, rejecting slightly lower prices
in the future department and no change
in spot cotton. Crop reports were ia
vorable and weather conditions almost
perfect AS the market drew toward
the close business partook of scalping
character with the market finally steady
at an advance of 1M4 points.

The workers were busy yesterday making

A large sum of money is now being paid
out weekly by the cannery and different
dry yards, the wages earned by the girls
and women running from GO cents to y
per day, the cannery alone employing be-
tween 200 and 300 people when running I'M
der full pressure.
Canning will be begun in two weeks on
peaches.
The orange market today is not In a
very encouraging condition. Some Sweets
are moving, but several of the larger seed
ling orchards have not yet been picked nor
the fruit sold. Seedlings that have been
shipped have sold as low as 80 cents per
box, the freight alone amounting to W
cents. Now that ice has to be used In
shipping, the cost of marketing is ma
terially increased, with 80 cents freight, as
stated before, and from Is to 80 cents per
box additional cost for Ice, together with
the usual expenses of picking and packing.
the actual cost per box to the grower
amounts to in the neighborhood OF $l5o.
and as several carloads have sold this year
at from $3.50 to $3.50 per box. the returns
are not such as to encourage the future
cultivation of the Seeding.

variety, together with the Washington
navel, will control the markets in the
future.

TALK, TALK, TALK
Now It Is France Again Who Proposes
to Interfere

LONDON, July S.-Dispatches from the
continental capitals still talk of European
intervention in the Hispano-American war.
France is being represented as taking the
initiative and Germany and the other pow.
ers as declining to interfere.
BY way of Berlin comes an interview
with Senior Moret, former Spanish Minis
ter of the Colonies. advocating that Spain
should sue for peace, because it is ride
ulous even to suppose that she could tire
out the United States and because Spain
"can only expect fresh defeats. placing her
in a worse position than ever"
Ssnor Moret said It was imperative that
the United States should issue victorious
out of it's first war with foreign power
because its social problems and surplus
wealth compelled 1t to pursue policy OF
expansion. He said he believed Spain had
nothing to fear from the Carlists or Re-
publicans, because both depended on the
army and its workmen, whereas the for
mer the army had already felt the strength
of the enemy and was not likely to protest
against peace. which. in its terms, was the
only thing that would save the workmen
from starvation.

THE SPANISH KING
UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT
WEARS THE CROWN
Revolution Stands at the Steps Of the
Throne-The Army Dissatisfied.
An Ominous Outlook

LONDON, July S.-A special dispatch
from Madrid reviewing the situation, says:
All Spain knows of her defeat and the peo-
pie are, beginning to realize the magnitude
of the disaster.
The press exhorts good citizens to main
tain peace.
An important circular has been sent to all
the Republican organizations signed by the
leaders and bearing the motto Prepare"
In the meanwhile extraordinary military
precautions have been taken to quell any
internal troubles.
Genera, Correa, the Minister for War, and
his secretaries are working day and night.
A second call has been issued for the Canary
Island reserves, and additional forces Of
home infantry and cavalry are being raised.
while the artillery is being augmented by two
pieces to each battery.
The peninsular armies will total up 22o 900
men by July Is. The railroads are prepar-
ing war trains on all lines and carriages are
In readiness at all the garrison stations
A high authority, however, expresses the
opinion that the rank and file Of the soldiers
are inclined to condemn the war and feel
they are being driven to bloodshed for an
unjust cause by scheming politicians, and he
therefore doubts the army's attitude in the
event of civil troubles.
The officers, too, while anxious for war,
are divided on the question of loyalty to the
various claimants to the throne. This ques-
ton of succession is an important factor In
a terribly tense situation. 1t is believed the
government is anxious to find pretext to
arrest General Weyler, fearing the part he
might play in the event of trouble breaking

HICKORY CLUB
well-Known Speakers Address the
Members on Political Issues


As usual. the Friday night meeting Of
Hon. T. e. Gibbon addressed the members
on the record of Democrats and Republi-
cans who had represented the people in
congress- He urged all Democrats to
memorize the vote of each party on the
war Issue, and to study also the record
of Reed and Mckinley before war was
declared, and to make use Of these facts.
War would never have been declared had
II, not been for the Democratic members
joining the Republican war minority and
forcing the hand Of the administration.
"We'll Cheer for the Red. White and
Blue" words and music by Henriet and
Clara Miner, two young Los Angeles
lasses, was sung by J. Krause. This COM
position was dedicated to our brave volun-
teers by the authors and composers.
Abbot Kinney made a speech in which
he alluded to the expensiveness of county
government as at present run. He di-
lated upon the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the ma
ton by the acquisition of new territory,
and upon the constitutional amendments
10 be voted on this fall. He counseled
moderation for the Democrats and their
allies. He said that the principles of De-
mocracy have always worked for the bet
terment of humanity. These principles
are conquering their way. and must con-
tinue to do so. If we desire to wear the
laurels of our victories we must concen-
trate on few issues and present these with

vativs, enforced the liberal policy in Eng

the champions of democratic principles
were too extreme in detail methods. Thus
the conquering Democracy of the world
has often lost the fruits of victory. 1t is
for us to see that we do not have similar
fortune.
NJ McGlynn was introduced as a
Populist representing the organized labor
element of that party, but he disclaimed any
authority to speak for others than
himself. He insisted that the foe
against which this nation had to
guard was the industrial system which
forced willing workers to remain in idle
ness. So long as the Democratic and Pep
ulist parties faced in that direction the
wageworkers would keep in close touch
to them.
Earl Rogers spoke concerning what he
thought should constitute the platform
of the party in the coming campaign. He
believed in the Endorsement of the entire
Chicago platform; in the reaffirmation of
the doctrine of free silver; in the denuncia-
ton of the Republican policy Of issuing
honds when taxation ought to offer suffl-
cient revenue; in an Endorsement of the
economical administration of Governor
Budd; in demand for great and powerful
navy; in a declaration against any increase
of the standing army. He Endorsed the
candidacy of Hon. James G. Mcguire for
governor. His speech seemed to meet the
approval Of the audience.
Other speakers, among whom were A.
W. Barber and NJ W. Conkling. addressed
the club on political topics of interest.

NO WORK, NO GRUB
Cuban Insurgents Taught Lesson by
General Young

WASHINGTON, July 8.-The War De-
partment officials express no surprise at the
action Of one OF the American generals with
Skaters army in refusing to extend rations
TO some of the Cubans because of their re-
fusal to do mental work as required of them.
While the desire and purpose of the govern
ment is to feed the Cubans VINO may need 1t.
yet the matter rests with the commanding
general, who unquestionably has the right
TO withhold rations If for any reason he
deems such action necessary. A separate
account of ali food furnished to the Cubans
Is to be kept by the army officers so that at
the end of the war an intelligent staten nj
of the subject may be given to the public.
