Hoards Hidden in Cannon.
From the London Tit Bits.

When, five years ago, the Chinese mem
of-war were about to go mo action at
the battle of Yalu, some of the European
officers found that tire native sailors had
been in the habit of de; ecrating the cost
ly machine guns by keeping in them such
tlclcs as bottles, chop-sticks, native
dishes and money.
This SORT Of thing is not totally uukaown

who have charge of guns. and missing

commonly been found hidden away in the

A South Dakota man, w. A. Dawley,

with some people well enough. but when

rapid courtesies, including as many royal
ties as possible, and then diappears from
the throne, taking care on no account to
turn her back on the royalties. When the
last courtesy is completed, an official
again folds the train, and places it on the
lady's arm. A lady who merely attends
a drawing room does not, of course, kiss
hands. The throne room is not a large
apartment, and the chair Of state, Sty.ed
the throne, is on one side of it, in cen
trail position. On this the Queen is seated,
for she is now unable to stand, and beyond
her stand all the other royalties in strict
order of precedence, the Princess of
Wales being next to the Queen. If a
princess hold a drawing room she is not
seated but stands in front of the throne,
Behind the throne. in a sort Of semi circle
stand high officials of the Household, the
mistress of the robe, who always wears
black, the master of the horse, the load
steward, the lady-in-waiting,e etc. a courtly
crowd fills the other part OF the throne

To woman we'll placed in society, the
ordeal is lessened by the fact that the roy
allies know her personally, and the Prince

hands with a favored subject who has had
the honor of private presentation. At

Features 10 Speculation
RAINS ARE FALLING WHERE NOT NEEDED

Z DOING Damnge-AIl the Future
Markets Closed Higher.
Office OF The Post,

hOuston, FRIDAY, July lts
Weather influences to great degree were
controlling factors in cotton speculation to-
day. The Liverpool weekly statement. show
ing the stock to be only S1s,ooo bales as
against 1,oe7,ooo year ago was certainly a
strong bull card. But the statistical position
has been understood for some months back
and therefore cuta little figure in specula-
ton.
Rains have been general over the belt and
are falling where they are not needed Large
areas are badly in the grass and the con-
tinued showers are keeping hands out of the
fields. This 10 really the strong feature Of
the market and offsets the Chinese situation
10 great extent Planters say that the plant
is growing admirably, but is all stalk aud
is not fruitng II reports are correct. and
there is no reason to discredit them, the
growing crop will be very short as well us
late 1t has had bad start and only a few
weeks of favorable weather have been ex-
perienced, weevlls and sharpshooters are
said to be playing havoc in the South Texas
neids, so that short crop Is an assured
fact
With all these facts at hand 1t seems
reasonable to anticipate good prices. The
visible supply is small and with short crop
in sight the bears Will undoubtedly have a
hard light II they attempt to depress values.
With the exception of the Chinese trouble
everything is In favor of the bull side or
the market so far as statistics aud weather
aIa concerned.
A New York house wired Cargili 4 Rich
ardson as follows. Scattering rams, in some
instances heavy, were reported in the cot
ton belt today, Besides this there we're more
on the way for the Caroinas. Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana. These
rains may prove very harmful later than
beneficial. nasmuch as they may retard the
movement, already so late. The market was
unchanged to points lower this morning.
Trading was very slow, in fact the NEST
decided indifference was displayed A tame
Liverpool market and absence of striking
crop developments accounts for the condi-
tion of affairs. The first figures were fol-
lowed by the usual recovery, in this instance
