HAVE YOU YOUR CIGAR CASE WITH YOU
TODAY"
the military hospital at Netley, near
Southampton, where there were lying
many men who have been wounded
during the present war. AS she walk
ed slowly through the wards the tender
hearted princess sadly exclaimed: ooh,
this awful war! What terrible suffer
ing it brings
In one bed the princess saw soldier
whose cheek and mouth had been Woe
fully lacerated by a Boer bullet. His
suffering appealed to her kindly heart,
and she said to him: MY poor fellow!
Can you anyhow contrive to smoke?"
Yes, your royal highness," was the
reply.
Whereupon the princess walked over
to the prince and asked:
Have you your cigar case with you
today"
The prince at once handed his case of
choice cigars to her royal highness,
who possessed herself of the fragrant
contents and gave them all to the de-
lighted soldier, saying:
Take these, my brave fellow, and
enjoy them. l am sure you will like
them. The prince believes they are
the best that can be had"
Then, with a CHEEKY smile, the gra-
cious lady passed on her way.

PRICE, MCCORMICK & co.
A Great Increase in Cotton Acreage is
Indicated.

New York March 12.--Price, Mccormick Il Co.
today publish the following:
From various sources we hear that an IN
tention to corner contracts for August delivery
in the New York cotton market is attributed 10
us and that the market has recently been manipu-
lated on an enormous scale by us, IN order 10
facilitate the accomplishment of this purpose.
We desire 10 state most emphatically that we
have no such intentions and that any PROPOSE
tion to corner August cotton when 1t mas al
ready sold at 912 cents per pound is, IN our
opinion, likely to be exceedingly Improbable TO
the person attempting II.
The cotton production tins year promises 10
exceed our earlier expectations by at least 100 :.
GO bales. In November we thought 1t would
be about s750,GC0 bales. If during the month
of August any large quantity OF new cotton
should be received we do not see how it can be
less than 9,5O0,0C0. This supply. in our opinion,
taken in connection with last years surplus, Will
be abundantly sufficient TO meet the world
requirements at present prices. The high prices
must restrict consumption and at the same time
they will bring into requistion a very consid-
cradle quantity OF cotton, that at low prices
does not make its appearance during the cot
ton year For the balance of the cotton sea-
son the price of the article Will be TO great
extent--in fact almost entirely-dominated by
the prospect of the new crop. IL this is Drill
liant discount on August for the new crop
deliveries will speedily be established, that VIII
put a very decided premium on representation
in securing their supplies. on the part OF every
spinner in the world, and for this reason they
are likely to exc out their stock in some way
until the new crop becomes available. our
cables from Europe report 1nucn stacker de-
mand there from spinners, and while it is posi-
Die that Southern spot holders may, by persist
emily advancing their prices, be able in some
cases to secure higher figure for their cotton.
It seems to us that the present crop is practi-
callv becoming dead issue and that from no"
on interest in speculation is likely to be rapidly
shifted to next years production.
The facts arc known in regard to this sea
sons crop and once certainty takes the place
of uncertainty speculation ceases to have a rea-
son for existence. AS bearing upon the new
cron. it is interesting to note that the Com
missioner of Agriculture for the state OF Ala,
hama reports an increase of nearly 100 per cent
in the sale of fertilizer tags this year. Last
year the total sales up to March LIST were 645,-
go. This year up to March lst the total sales
are 1127 600 With present prices for cotton
it is not improbable that the increase in acreage
next wear may be as great as 10 per cent
throughout the entire cotton belt.

THE PORTO RICAN BILL.
House May Accept Free Trade Amend
ment if Senate Makes it.

Washington, March 12.-The Senate
chamber and adjoining committee rooms
today were the scene of sharp conflict
of opinion of Republican Senator'S that
found no place in the Congressional Roc
ord. Some Senators hold that Legislation
for Porto Rico for the present at least
should be confined to providi.:S for the
immediate needs of the inhabitants CT
Porto Rico and not include efforts 10 es-
tablish form of government. Their iiea
is to leave the island in the control O:
the War Department.
Senator Foraker, in charge of the pend
ing bill. declared that if the proposition
of inactivity was persisted in he would
not only drop the bill now before the Sen
ate entirely but would introduce as
substitute for it a measure providing for
the organization of the island as Terri
tory including establishing complete free
trade between the island and the United
States proper. His further purpose, as
he outlined it, was to introduce it as an
amendment to the bill passed by the
House and now pending in the Senate, ap-
propriating the revenues collected from
the island for use of the people of the
island.
When the purpose of Mr. Foraker be-
came generally known there were many
hurried conferences among the Republi-
can leaders, and the Ohio Senator was i'm
mediately besieged by Republicans of all
shades of belief on Porto Rican policy.
While several of them supported his prop
osition as a wise one many others con-
tended against it as calculated to commit
the country to a course which might be
more easily repented of than remedied.
They held that it would be easier in the
future to change from a present policy
of imposing tariff to free trade than it
would be to change from free trade to
tariff
The conservatives hold out for the
present bill. Senator Foraker himself is
welded to the bill under consideration
and after comforting with most of the
Republican Senators, decided to allow
matters to drift for a few days.
After the Senate adjourned a number
of Senators held an informal conference
in Senator Allisons rooms, but they de-
clared with one accord that no definite
conclusion had been reached as TO line
of policy to be pursued with reference to
Porto Rico All admitted that the con-
ference was devoted to an effort to Sc
cure harmony. The most definite state
ment that could be obtained was that Mr..
Foraker had consented to attempt to
amend the pending bill so as to make. it
conform if possible, to the conflicting
views of the various interests. This, it
was intimated, was to be done by provid-
ing movable scale of duties.
General Foraker said tonight that moth
ing in the line of the territorial PROPOSE
t;or world he attemDted for several DAYS
at any rate.
Messrs. Cooper, Crumpacker and
Moody were engaged throughout today in
perfecting the bill for a territorial form
of government for Porto Rico, which is to
ne submitted to the 1nsular Committee in
a few days.

WHITE FLAG, EAPLOSlN II BULLE Id.
The War Office has received the fol-
lowing advices from Lord Roberts, dated
Driefontein, Sunday, March II, 9:45 a. m:
''The following telegram has been addressed
by to their honorS, the State Presidents OF
he Orange Free State and the South African

. Another instance having occurred of gross
lbuse of the white flag and of the signal OF
holding up hands in token of surrender, it is

The War Office maps show group of
kopjes and large water pan at Dreifon-

siderable defensive advantages. The Beers
who retreated to Abraham's Kraal from
Poplar Grove must have moved south
ward or else a fresh force must have
come from Bloemfontein or the Orange
River.
The opposition met at Dreifontein was
somewhat unexpected, the idea being
that if there was any resistance it would
be at Petrusberg. Prof1ting by their ex-
perience, the Beers were prepared for
British fianking movement, but IN eX-
tending their position in order to avoid
being outfanked they probably weak
ened their center thus making it possible
for the British infantry to carry this
with bayonet charge.

Another Arrest Made and MoreArrests
Talked Of.
Bv The Associated Press. J


Frankfort, KY, March 12.-The sltua-
ton in Frankfort has radically improved
and public excitement has subsded.
Nevertheless great uneasiness still exists,
especially among Republicans. More ar
rests in connection with the assassination
are rumored, the names including Taylor
Republican legislators, Adjutant General
Collier and others.
The Republicans assert they will resist
such arrests to the last, and the conse-
quences of an attempt to arrest Taylor
cannot be forecasted.
Taylor probably will remain here in
stead of going to London as urged. After
4 conference between Governor Beckham,
Mayor Dehoney, of Frankfort, and
Sheriff Suter, 25 extra deputy sheriffs and
fifty policemen were sworn in.
The Legislature expires tomorrow.

A Brave Mans Gentieness.

The Army and Navy Journal gives a
touching incident, which shows how
gentle nature may exist beneath the
sternness which at times recko2s not
the life of men while in the pursuit OF
victory. The late Commander James
w. Carlin was in command of the Van
dalia at Apia, Samoa, during the ter
rible storm of March 16, 1889. One
evening, some years afterward, on re-
firing to his room while visiting his
sister, he found mouse that had fall
en- into a basin of water, and was
struggling for its life. There was
agony and defiance in that little fell
lows eye," said the commander, speak
ing OF it the next day. "As / gazed on
that helpless little creature l thought
of that terrible night on the Vandalia,
and going to the open window l gent
ly emptied the contents of the basin.
| didn't dry him with my towel, but
saved his llfe," the commander
added.
