COTTON.
New York, Sept 27.-The cotton mar
ket was comparatively quiet, and prices
at the outset took a lower level, espe-
cially as to the immediate and nearby
positions. This phase of the local situa-
tion was due to the pressure of large
offerings of spot cotton by the South.
They caused the Liverpool market to
give way at time when some of the
local traders are depending upon a bull
ish leadership by the foreigners. The
market opened here at decline of
twenty five points for September while
the later positions declined five to ten
points. Liquidation was active. Prices
yielded four to five points further. The
early W6dkueS WdS IuCI6dSSu ny
favorable average to the crop news and
by renewed apprehensions regarding TIE
outcome of the situation in the Far East.
There was a disposition also to bear the
market on evidences of a continued heavy
movement of cotton with the Southern
markets for the spot article also tending
to weakness. Speculation became very
slack later in the session, but a move
ment to cover short contracts caused 4
reaction of eleven to eighteen points. Sell
ers withdrew altogether or showed a
disposition to be conservative in view
of the considerable decline in prices. The
selling was quite general while it lasted,
with Wall Street and the South doi1s
their full share of it while foreigners
became buyers rather than sellers later
in the session. Wall Street traders also
bought in the afternoon. Liquidation set
in again near the close and carried prices
off again to the low point of the day. The
market closed barely steady at net
loss of from seven 20 thirty points, the
latter in September only.

KNOW THEY ARE BEATEN.
Beers, However, Think They Can Win
Sympathy by Holding Ont.

DURHAM, March 24.-It is learned from
an authentic source that the Boer leaders
are aware that they are beaten. but think
they can hold out for four to six months.
within which time they firmly believe for
eign Intervention will force Great Britain
to grant favorable terms. including inde-
pendence. They EXPECT Germany or the
United States to intervene. The mission of
Messrs. Wolmarans, Fischer and Vessels
to Europe is to hasten this, so far as Ger
many is concerned.
The Boer plans include stand at Kroon-
stad, the VaaI river and other points, cul-
minating in the defense of Pretoria. which
has been preparing for siege. The ranges
of the guns have been tested, mines have
been laid, and the forces in the field have
not allowed themselves to be cut of with
their heavy guns. which are needed in the
forts at Pretoria. The majority of the
Transvaalers are ignorant ofNthe gravity
of the situation, and. though tired of re-
naming so long from their farms, will
fight hard, believing that their liberty and
property are at stake and confident Of ulti-
mate success.

ers made references to a published report
that the Porto Rico tariff bill was designed
to secure campaign funds.
Mr.. Payne, of New York, chairman of
the ways and means committee, denied the
reports that any campaign fund was in
volved in the bill, and denounced as false
the statement that such reports emanated
from members on the Republican side of
that the trust would be the benefciaries of
the pending tariff bill, and declared that
the two great trusts in sugar and tobacco
would benefit most by getting their sugar
and their tobacco free of duty. So that. he
asserted. IL this was any campaign
Doodle" it was exerted against the propo-
sition of placing tariff on goods coming
from Porto Rico.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois. closed the debate
in support of the conference report. He
declared that the minority like cutie fish,
were trying to muddy the waters and di-
vert attention from themselves. But the
people would recognize the fact that the
minority opposed this practical measure
of relief to the Porto Ricans. For half
century the Democratic policy had been
one which would have carried the govern
ment to anarchy and destruction. Now
that party was posturing and asking pow
er under false pretenses. There was great
applause and laughter as Mr.. Cannon
closed with the declaration that the Amer
ican people would not be deceived by this
posturing but would 'kick you OUT and
"send you down to everlasting perdition.'
At l o'clock a yea and nay vote was
taken on the report and it was agreed to
lbs to 81; present and not voting, twenty.
The vote was on party lines, except that
a number of Democrats and Independents
voted with the Republicans for the report,
namely Bell of Colorado, Chanler of New
York, Cochran of Missouri, Cummings, of
New York, Davenport and Stanley of
Pennsylvania, Davey Of Louisiana, De
vries of California, Meekson of Ohio New

TWO MILLIONS FOR RELIEF
APPROPRIATION PASSED BY THE
HOUSE BY A VOTE OF 135 TO 81.
At Once Signed by the President-Por-
an Hour-A "Coxey Army"

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The Repub-
caucus Monday, at p. m, to reach an
agreement on e line Of policy to be pur-
sued with reference to Porto Rican legisla-
ton. Previous to the caucus Senator For
aker, who is in charge of the legislation.
expects to secure the approval of the Sem
| ate committee on Porto Rico for the sepa-
ration of the tariff feature from the gov
ernmental bill, with the view of having the
Senate pass on the tariff question discon-
nected from all other features of the SUBJ
ject. The House bill is a tariff measure
simply, and with the separation effected
the next effort will be to secure legislation
on the basis of the House bill.
The caucus Is expected to deal emily with
the House bill, and the particular question
which the caucus will have to decide is
whether the House bill shall be accepted as
II came from the House or be amended.
There are two contending elements on the
Republican side of the Senate one of which
is disposed to demand that the tariff bill
shall stand unamended and the other that it
shall be displaced with free trade meas
ure pure and simple. The tariff men are,
however, manifesting disposition to make
concessions in the interest of harmony and
there would be little doubt of the modifica-
tion of the bill with the view OF plagating
the free-traders If there were any certainty
Of securing the concurrence OF the House
in the amendments proposed.

the caucus will have an opportunity to de-
eide between taking the bill as II stands
and amending it and taking the chances in
the latter event Of rejection In the House.
OF the amendments suggested, one which
is receiving favor provides for a tariff but
leaves 1t optional with the legislature to be
established in Porto Rico to decide how
long the system shall continue In force. An
other proposed amendment provides for the
continuance in force Of the present execu-
tive free list and it's possible enlargement
1t is considered possible that these
amendments may be adopted, but before
they are acted on Senator Foraker will i'm
press upon the caucus the possibility of an
adverse attitude on the part of the House
and of a deadlock between the two bodies
