than whom there is none more eff.
fcient in the State, has just com.
pleted the tax books for 1899.
They show taxable property to
the amount of $1,765,450, and the

CARTER MAY GO FREE.
Politicians Want His Sentence Mod
flied to Reprimand.

From the New York Journal.
Washington, April IAN effort is being
made TO have Capt o. M Carter of the
Corps of Engineers restored to duty. This
can only be accomplished by waving the
sentence of dismissal and Imprisonment in
the penitentiary which was imposed upon
Carter by courtmartial.
The proposition has evidently been en-
couraged by the failure of the Washing
ton authorities TO act on the case, which
has now been pending for eighteen months,
during which time Carter has been a leis
ure on full pay.
Carter through Senator Platt's influence
in part, was able to evade the course of
justice, and has fought all efforts to bring
him TO account There has been a sys-
tematic attempt engineered by politicians
to have the whole case thrust aside. and
the latest plan to this end is one which
contemplates having the President miti-
gate the sentence to one of
mere reprimand. 1t is argued
that executive clemency may be
shown in this case on the ground that
the offenses were merely technical, and
that Carter did no more than other en-
gineer officers are doing in misapplying
appropriations, always with the best in
terests of the government This might be
shown 10 be the case In some instances
but no one who has read the papers in the
case of Carter can understand how the
President can set aside the sentence of the
courtmartial

New York, April 3.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say of cotton: "Our market has been
weak to-day. A constant stream of slow
hquidations on the part of the holders of
May contracts, the heavy receipts at the
interior towns, together with the better
weather throughout the South and the in
crease in the stock here are the reasons
for this selling, which in the absence of
any foreign support have caused a decline
greater than anticipated. Foreign markets
are closed to-day, Easter Monday being "a
holiday in Europe. and we are without the
usual foreign orders usually present here
during the spring. We believe the course
of prices will now depend upon the wealth
er conditions during the next month, as
planters everywhere are behind with their
work and must have good weather from
now on to enable them to overcome the
conditions arising from very late
spring."
