Because certain Cuban civil officers
have been found guilty Of accepting
brides, following the custom Of their
Spanish predecessors, President Nc
Kinley, it is said, will report to con-
gress that the Cubans are unfit to gov
ern themselves. But, speaking Of
brides, what is the subtle influence that
prevents the laying Of the CONNER
cial company's new cable to Cuba?
Has it been forbidden in order to per-
petuate the monopoly Of the Western
Union? If so, what is the rake OF"
for influential officials, and who gets
1t? These are questions which the
Putty Napoleon" could doubtless an
swer If he would, but he won't.-Jus-

Tho Russian Calendar.

The Russian government has, after
years of discussion. resolved to give up
the old style, or Julian, calendar,
which is twelve days behind the Gre
gorian system. The old style was q
source Of great annoyance to Russian
merchants doing business with other
countries, who were forced to use both
dates. 1t was also annoying to for
eigners trading with Russia. The st.
Petersburg Astronomical society has
taken the matter in hand and the nee
essary details will be arranged. 1t is
expected the new calendar will come
into effect in 1901.

Don't let us be too much alarmed
by the statistics of the organization
of corporations and trusts" under the
laws of Maine, New Jersey, Delaware
and other states which are competing
with each other for the fees that pay
the expenses Of state governments. In
many cases-in four out Of five cases
at least--the record might read some
thing like this: 1.-THE Air Monopoly
company; capital one hundred million
dollars; nothing paid in; never heard
of again after the organization papers
were fled" But all the same that
hundred millions would swell the stat
istics of trusts. and many people would
become really alarmed lest the atmos-
phere should be made the subject Of a
trust.
The most memorable hour in the
nrst days on shore Of Admiral Dewey,
when mans highest relations are
taken into account, was not that In
which the right hand of welcome was
given him by the president in behalf
OF the American people. 1t was a
quiet hour IN a Washington church,
when, at the admiral's request, the
minister thanked Almighty God for the
commanders safe return from sea- The
recognition of divine guidance and pro-
ltection was an example of loyalty to the
Ruler whose service sperfect freedom
and whose rewards are imperishable.

COTTON MARKET
 STILL ON DECLINE An Uncertain Feeling Was inEV-
 idence at Times, TEXAS AND GEORGIA CROPS Are Reportedby Government Statement to be Suffering from Catterpillars-
 Spinners Generally Garry
 ing Light Supplies.
TEXAS AND GEORGIA CROPS

New York, June Notwithstanding yes terdays break of to points in the price of cotton futures which led some traders to prepare for d reaction today, the mar let continued on the decline and prices during the weakest intervals showed a fur ther net loss of b to 20 points.
 At times the market was very unsettled and panicky feeling prevailed. The slump was particularly noticeable during the morning when the selling appeared to be general by all classes. English cables were decidedly disappointing. Crop accounts con- tinued of a brilliant average and speeula- tive support was almost entirely lacking.
 The summary of the weekly government crop report gave the bear contingent in- creased courage as indicating a general improvement in the condition of cotton in all sections of the belt, while reports from private sources were if possible even more favorable than they have heretofore been, offsetting the governments statement that the Texas crop is grassy and the Georgia crop suffering from caterpillars.
 The volume of business of today was very much larger than any single day $ business in recent weeks, but this was due to liquidation and not to a disposition to make new ventures, although there was some investment buying on the rushes to sell by conservative parties who believe that the market, having declined about &c Was entitled to some reaction. The fact that there is a tremendous business in cotton goods in this country as well as abroad, with spinners generally carrying light supplies of cotton, also led some of the more conservative shorts to cover on todays break. On the basis of 5.6O for August some good Wall street houses bought summer month contracts and the fact that August now believed to be in their hands also added to the conservative tenor of the smaller local traders causing them to cover.
 The demand from abroad was fairly good early in the session, but later the foreign CTS sold. The close was steady 10 to 15 points net lower.
