COTTON.


New York September 23-The fea-
ture of to-day's market for cotton fu-
lures was the establishing of new
low record for the October delivery, this
option selling down to 5.1S points I'M
der the lowest price ever before known.
At no time. however did the market
show pronounced weakness, the low level
of values tending to check agressiveness
on the part of bears. TO-day's aggre-
gate business represented very small
proportion of trades for the account of
outside investors. The market opened
quite steady in tone but with prices
1d2 points lower, then slowly sagged to
the lowest figures of the day, a loss
of 4td6 points as compared with last
nights final figures. The Representatives
of a prominent commission house were
conspicuous as sellers of a large block
of cotton which had been held all through
the recent decline and the gteadiness of
the market under this pressure was
much commented upon. Even the scalp
ing element exhibited great reluctance to
take the bear side. The future list
closed steady at a net loss of 4G6 points.
Among the depressing influences of the
session were very encouraging reports
from nearly all localities of the western
and central sections of the cotton belt
and indications that the days port and
interior receipts would far exceed expec-
,tations. Dispatches from the larger
spot cotton markets in the South stated
in effect that buyers were slow to take
hold. despite further concessions and that
offerings were becoming burdensome

Generals SchOheld and Miles ON the
Eject of FRvOritism-ThOse With
out Hope of Recognition.

At the afternoon meeting of the House
military affairs comIA ttee General Scho-
field. who preceded General Miles In COM
mand of the army, devoted his chief atten-
ton to the friction Inevitably arising be-
tween the Secretary OF War and the COM
manding general under the present system
This had occurred during the command of
General Scott, who removed his headauar-
ters to New York to avoid differences aris-
ing with the War Department.. 1t occurred
also during the command of General Sher-
man, who went to ST. Louis to avoid fric-
ton. The trouble arose out of the system
which gave the head of the army the name
of commanding general when in fact he
had little or no authority, or even influence,
as commanding general. Whether he does
anything depends largely on his personal
relations with the Secretary of War If
these relations are not close, then the Sec
retary of War gets to ignoring the So
called commanding general In that event
the adjutant general becomes more i'm
portant official than the commanding gem
eral
General Schofield urged that one of the
most essential features of army reorgan-
ization was to give the President absolute
power to select his own commanding Of
ticer. Instead of creating the permanent
grade of lieutenant general he favored
giving the President authority to select at
any time a lieutenant general, the officer
occupying that position retiring to his for
mer grade. There would be no degrada-
ton in this retirement, if the law once rec
ognized the need of giving the President
complete freedom in selecting his command
ing officer. The title also should be that
of chief instead of command
ing general" as that would better express
the idea that the head of the army was
the executive officer for the President and
Secretary of War.
General Schofield urged also that the
heads of all staff bureaus should be subor-
dinated to the generai-in-chief This would
correct the independent course of the sey-
eral staff bureaus under the present sys-
tenn, making the adjutant general, quarter
master general and all other staff heads
work in harmony with the general-n-chief.
Size of Army Needed
Concerning the size of the army under
present conditions General Schofield said
he estimated need of about 10000 for the
Philippines, 5000 to 10000 for Cuba 5000
to 5000 for Porto Rico. 5000 for manning
and caring for fortifications 10000 for the
Indian country and 1900 as reserve He
did not believe in Understanding the Sc
riousness of our task in the Philippines
and the only thing to do was to meet the
conditions in the best possible manner 20
What is to be done with our 80 600 SOL
diers in the Philippines? Who is to be
whipped?' asked Mr.. Cox.
- That is political problem with which I
field. Il simply seek to meet the military
problem as find it"
When Mr.. Cox asked What would be done
If the Philippine natives We're whipped
but wouldn't stay whipped Gen. Scho-
field replied. amid laughter. that he would
advise whipping them TIL they stayed
whipped" ~ =

without Hope of Recognition.

Gen. Miles pointed out that three major
generals, Merritt. Brooke and himself, had
come through the recent war without hope
of recognition. He cared nothing as to
himself, but he urged that the services of
Gen Merritt and Gen. Brooke had beel
such that the rank of lieutenant general for
them, as would be given under his bill
would be eminently fitting In this connec-
ton he referred to the cruel working of the
system by which Meade Hancock and
Thomas had never received the rank and
recognition due them for eminent services
two of them going broken-hearted to their
graves.
Gen. Schofield strongly indorsed what
Gen. Miles had said on giving the amplest
recognition and rank to generals for their
services.

Miles on Eject of Favoritism.

After Gen. Schoheld had concluded Gen
Miles spoke briefly on what had been said
as to the commanding general. He said the
laws now clearly recognized his position as
commanding general and one of these laws
made the general commanding the army a
member. ex-offlcio. . of : the fortif1cations
board. He did not approve the suggestion
that the head of the army be an executive
staff officer to the President During most
of the time for the last loo years the asny
mad been under the command of n general
or lieutenant general and that was rhe
practice the world over
Gen. Miles said he did not speak from a
personal standpoint he was ready to he
retired at any time. But he believed in the
principle of rank and authority commen-
surate with the responsibility. -
Gen. Miles said. in reply to a question
that he thought it would be better for the
President to have the war minister more
particularly direct the vast administrative
work of the War Department. az 1t was
manifestly impossible for any man to come
from civil life and at once become familiar
with all the latest appliances of war. If
the one occupying the chief military posi-
tion was not liked, then let some one else
be placed in military authority. But the Sc
lection should not be from so far down on
the list as to amount to favoritisn, for that
would rot be approved by the people,
