CONFUSION RElGNs IN COTTON CIRCLES
Between Fears Of Crop Damage, Heavy Re.
ceipts, d. cline in Liverpool, Bull Reports
From Southern Markets, Traders
Are Very Much at Sea.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Sept 26.-More business
doing in cotton goods chiefly in bleached
buyers looking for higher prices in some
OF the better grades of these. Brown
sheetings strong, but demand quiet
Coarse colored cottons also strong with
moderate sale Print cloths inactive at
previous prices. Prints and ginghams
very firm. Mems wear woolenS and
worsteds dull, but no chage in prices.
Demand for wooden and worsted dress
goods shows slight improvement.
COTTON.
New York. Sept 26.-All was confusion
and uncertainty in local cotton specula-
tive circles again today The market
started easy in tone with prices unchanged
to points lower and continued to shrink
.rapidly, following the call under brisk
liquidation of long cotton purchased last
night, on the belief that today would wit
ness marked reaction from the weakness
then prevalent. The selling was imFelied
by a sudden and pronounced decline IN
the Liverpool market. The heavy receipts
and splendid picking weather helped to
undermine the English market. The crop
movement was larger than generally ex-
pected, and crop accounts from the CEN
trail and eastern belt were reassuring.
Soon after midday the market took turn
for the better on reports that cold wave
was IN store for the Southwest tonight
with rain likely to accompany the fall IN
temperature. AS that section of the belt
was already suffering from excessive
precipitation, the local trade became APP
prehensive of flood damage and further
delay in crop maturement the latter al
ready dangerously late and making dam
age by killing frost imminent. Estimates
for tomorrows receipts did not call for
amounts as large as the movement to-
day led the trade to expect. On the ad-
vance the foreign, Southern and Wall
Street contingents came to the front as
moderate buyers of the winter months,
while room shorts heavily covered. Fall
River cloth market dispatches and private
reports from Southern spot markets were
encouraging as a whole, and helped sig
nalIy to right the late afternoon market.
Throughout the day, however, there was
clearly manifested a feeling OF d1strust
with a goodly number of traders actually
withdrawing from the market where OPP
portunity afforded until some new develop
ments of Importance came to light In
the last half hour a furry of local COW
er;ng carried prices to above the close
of Yesterday The market closed firm
with prices net four to twelve points
higher.

Lord Roberts has again outwitted the

found most of the farms along our line

ing over the houses. ALI the belong
ings worth removal had been taken
away and there were evident signs that

LEGISLATURE TO ADJOURN.

Last Day of the Kentucky Double-Headed
session-No Trouble Expected.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 14.-The
Kentucky legislature will adjourn sine
die some time before midnight. Before
the sessions met in the morning there
was strong inclination shown by the
members of both houses to expedite
matters as much as possible, and secure
final adjournment some time during the
afternoon. Beyond the Senator Triplett
resolution, appropriating $100, 600 for
reorganization of the state militia under
Governor Beckhan, there is little legis-
lation of Importance pending and Dem
ocratic members of the house expressed
confidence of passing this without trou-
BILE. Apparently no apprehension of
further trouble, for the present at least,
exists among members of either party.
Republican Lieutenant Governor Mar
shall held consultations during the
morning with Democratic Adiutant
General Castlelnan and several Demo
cratic members of the legislature, dis
cussing the general situation.

CAUCUS GA LIED ! |: / |:
Republican Senators Decide to
Settle Differences on Porto
Rican Matters.
Foraker Has Drafted Amend
ments He Thinks Will
Meet Demands
Of All Interests Of the Party.
Noticeable Dispo POSITION to
Get Together.

WASHINGTON, March 4. The Re-
publican senators have decided to hold
q caucus for the settlement of their diff
ferences upon the Porto Rican question,
and q call has been issued for a meeting
after the adjournment Of the senate.
Senator Foraker, ii charge Of the bill
providing a form of government for
Porto Rico, has drafted amendments to
the bill which he thinks viii meet the
demands of all interests in the Republi-
can party, and the measure as thus
amended will be submitted to the eau
Gus. There has been no diminution Of
amicable feeling among senators and
there is noticeable disposition to recon-
cile differences in the interest of party
harmony. In this desire the president
is known to join heartily, but
he has told senator's who have visited
him that he was equally anxious that
certain principles should remain In
violate in the settlement. He urges
among other things the retention of the
house principle of protection and the
establishment of a civil government.
Senator Foraker's amendments are
understood to look to the retention Of
the tariff as applied to articles shipped
from Porto Rico to the United States
and to its being dispensed with on ar
ticles shipped from the United States
to Porto Rico, and also to the elimina-
tion of the provision for delegate from
Porto Rico to congress. It is believed
that these concessions will satisfy both
the free traders and the tariff men.

SERIOUS FLOODS IN ILLINOIS
High Water In the Illinois, Fox, Des-

High Water in the Illinois, Fox, Des-
PLANES and Sangamon.
CHICAGO, March IA. Reports received
here show that serious floods are pre-
vailing in the northern portion Of Iii
nois, by the overfowing OF the Illinois,
5Desplaines, Fox, Sangamon and Kan
kakee rivers. Much livestock and prop
erty have already been destroyed.
AT La Sale, the Illinois river and
tributary streams are now IA feet above
normal height and still rising. Not
since 1892 has there been SO much water
in this vicinity, and If the rivers con-
tinue to rise during the next "a hours
the damage to property will be enor-
nous. One pump at the Waterworks is
already shut down, the engineers are
working in 20 inches Of water, and Su-
perintendent Walker says that one foot
more OF water will mean the stoppage
OF the entire plant, thus placing the
city in jeopardy from fire.
The fires in the engine room Of the
Dickinson Cement works were extin-
guished and the klns flooded. William

At Peru, Water street is flooded and

that the fires Of the big Illinois Zinc
Company's works may be reached by
the rapidly rising water, which already
covers part of the company's premises.
General Manager w. B. Brinton has
taken every precaution against the in.
undatlon of the Peru Plow works. II
the water should rise two feet higher,

At Peoria, the Illinois river is out of
It's banks and is doing considerable
damage along the valley.
At Havana, the Herget leyee on the
Sangamon river broke during the night,
compelling 300 families to flee to higher
ground. Much stock has been lost.
AT Pontiac, the Vermillion river is
higher than it has been for the last 20
years. Several negro families had a
narrow escape from drowning and were

Mr.. Sheldon was at his desk again at

Radical Change in Appearances.
The Capital appears with a radical
change in style and makeup. Practi-
cally the only features familiar to it's
regular readers is the title head line.
The first page, for instance, ordinarily
devoted exclusively to telegraph news,
has not line of the current news Of the
day. Instead the page is given up to
discussions Of what Mr.. Sheldon con-
siders the most important questions
now before the world. There are four
leading articles on this page, the first
being devoted Y to the famine in India.
& ssMiltarism" is described to the extent
of 200 words, the leading article under
this heading being extracts from a
pamphlet upon militarism by a Ba1ti-
more physician, DR.. Richard H.
Thomas, who treats the war evil as a
etdisease epidemic in all latitudes. y
The third frst-page story is a column
and half symposium of the Kansas
prohibitory law. The fourth and last
article is in the form of letter to
Editor Sheldon from the z. NE. G. A. of
Colorado appealing to the Christian
people of the country to establish a
home for consu1nptives at Denver.
strict Censorship of aAds.n
a notable feature of the paper is the
method of handling advertisements.
They are banished from the news and
editorial pages and punched in places
reserved for them. The censorship here
is even more rigorous than in the news
columns and a, large quantity of this
class of matter has already been cut
out, including all relating to patent
medicines. The familiar corset adyer-
tisements Of the magazines, accom-
panied BY cuts, have sought in vain for
space. No retail advertisements from
Kansas City or other ont of town trades
men are accepted, Mr.. Sheldon holding
that this would be an injustice to home
merchants. The $3.50 suit of clothes for
$14.75'' style of advertising is also
barred.
Z A page is devoted to local news and
the leading features for the first day are
reports Of a temperance revival and an
anti-cigarette meeting. Mr.. Sheldon
Instructed the police reporter that IN
case of murder or other crime to write
D bare statement Of the facts. During
the conference the sporting editor re-
marked that there would be q bowling
