"You may be President some day T This is said to ninety out of every hun. dred young American boys and every one in the hundred has the chance. None of our Presidents or nominees were born into families that had any particular chance of having their off. spring occupy the presidential chair. The campaign of 1900 will develop someone's chances, if not for the actual presidential nomination, for honors near unto it. A dispassionate view today shows the probability of the renomina- ton of both Mckinley and Bryan for the presidency but that's no sure thing in either case. The Republicans have timber in Tom Reed and Roosevelt, and the Democratic nomination may go to German, Mclean or "dark horse but in both parties the vice-presidency is an open chance. Sewall, who ran with Bryan, wants no more of it; and by sad circumstances MT Hobart will not be able to run again. Among Demo cratic politicians Bird s Coler, Carter Harrison, Admiral Schley and "Coin'' Harvey are mentioned, and if the Demo crats nominate Dewey then Fitzhugh Lee. General Wheeler or Schley are mentioned as running mates. The Re- publican vice-presidensy is much more open chance. Roosevelt don't want it, and among those who do, only Timothy Woodruff and Col. Fred Grant are prominently mentioned at this early day. Gen. Miles has prominence which may land him somewhere in one party or the other, and it ia prophet who can today name the. tickets for 1900.

TRIED TO TAKE HIS DIAMOND.
Two Clever PicspOcISets Arrested at
the ID. q o. station.

Henry Ross, alias William Boyd and
Postal KID together with Albert Thomp-
son, were arrested at the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad station by Policeman Walsh,
OF the Sixth precinct. and locked up, charg-
ed with being pickpockets. shortly before
l o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Ross and Thompson are well-known
pickpockets. They were caught yesterday
in the act of trying OF take a diamond
stud from the shirt front of Macmillan
Lewson as he was about 10 board a train
for New York. One man pushed Mr.. Lew
son from behind while the other pressed
a newspaper against his shirt front and
tugged at the stud. The intended victim
realized the intent and gave an alarm.
with the result that the men were arrest
ed. A slight hitch was encountered in
promptly locating a policeman TO arrest
the men, as Detective Hartigan, who is
detailed at the station, was unfortunately
prosecuting a case in the Police Court
The prisoners were examined later by
Detectives Helan and Gallaher. but would
admit nothing They are well known, how
ever, and have served jail sentences for
offences similar TO that attempted yester-
day. During the afternoon both men were
measured and photographed for the rogues'
gallery. A picture of Ross already adorns
the galleries OF this and other cities. The
prisoners viii be arraigned in court this
morning.

New York Cotton Market.
COTTON PRICES HELD UP.
BuIiishness the Chief In
nuence in New York.

New York, May 1S.-The price OF cotton
continued up to yesterdays level today.
The chief argument Of the bulls is that the
present price is very low one compared
with those of former years. but it does Eot
seem a good one to many. considering tho
probability of an immense crop. 1t Is the
same argument as that OF the bears in the
stock market, who do not believe that
prices can go higher because they are now
above those of last year. Trade conditions
are excellent, and for the moment Liver
pool is bullish because Manchester Is using
a tremendous amount OF cotton. This at
titude on the other side influences the New
York market largely, and il seems poss.o.e
that the price may be held up indefinitely.
and perhaps even advanced, but as the
crop news becomes more definite many be-
lieve that the price is certain to gravitats
to a lower level.

The New York stock market is at the
moment in one of its most interesting
phases. The diversity of opinion is great
and as a matter of fact, there is little on
which to base predictions with regard to
the immediate course of the market. Too
much depends on the disposition of midi
vidual operators. Prices opened very high
yesterday, kept strong until the afternoon
and then suddenly began to break with
some vehemence in the last hour. closing
at the low point for the day The break
may continue today with little and ftful
rallies and may reach a much lower figure
1t may continue tomorrow, and prices may
sag off to near their level of last Saturday
The other possibility of the case is that
after an opening which will probably be
OFF trifie, a rally may occur and the bull
movement continue. II Is a time for the
utmost caution, and the best advice is,
perhaps, to take profits quickly either on
the long side or the short.
The items of the situation are taken by
both the bulls and the bears as arguments
in their favor. There has been one of the
strongest markets the Street has ever seen
during the past four days, since Saturday.
This upward movement has been caused by
buying of the most powerful kind. The
financial leaders of the street have bought
heavily not only of the Flower stocks but
of all the Others 1t is understood that the
bears did little or nothing until yesterday
afternoon to hinder the advance, even join
ing the bulls at times Prices yesterday
had reached the level of last week in
many stocks and in others were higher
than before Governor Flowers death. The
bears argue that the leaders have been
putting up prices In order that their friends
might sell without loss. and that now. this
praiseworthy mission having been accom-
plished. they are willing to let the market
