Representative Sulzer of New York says
there is absolutely no truth in the story
that he is to make a speech at a dinner at
Omaha, in which he is to notify Mr.. Bryan
that he has been followed as far as he
will be, or something to that effect.
''The whole story is made up" said Mr.
Sulzer today. 'There is no dinner ar

Of the pageant
By 2:3O o'clock the guests Of honor had
all arrived at the Capitol, and they pro-
ceeded to the reviewing stand, the Presi-
dent being escorted by Senator Hale and
Mr.. Larner. AS they passed through the
rotunda and emerged at the east entrance.
passing down the steps to the stand, the
photographers began their work. Along
the front of the crowd that had gathered
there were many amaterus, who proceeded
to make snap shots to get souvenir pic
lures OF the occasion.
When the President had taken seat the
head Of the line OF parade passed by the
north end of the Capitol, and the line pro-
ceeded to pass in review. The President
watched the marching men with much in
terest.
Gen. Miles Thrown.
When General Miles, at the head of the
parade, arrived directly in front of the re-
viewing stand, his horse became frightened
and, rearing, suddenly threw General Miles
to the ground. He fell heavily on his back
and two policemen hurried to his aid He
got up promptly and. appearing unhurt, re-
mounted his steed and continued at the
head Of the parade.
Decorations of Capitol.
The decoration Of the east front OF the
Capitol was simple yet unique in several
respects. There was the unusual sight OF
flags Of other nations entwined with the
American colors over the entrance of the
building, and forming the background for
the reviewing stand. There were the flags
OF Turkey. Nicaragua, Germany. England,
Russia and France among others. From
the top railing OF the dome the stars and
stripes were flown on slaves pointing to the
north. east west and south. The reviewing
stand itself. built in simple style in general
conformity with the architecture of the
building, and painted pure white, was dec

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. May 1b.-Operations in the
stock market continued TO be left largely
to professional hands to-day. The move
ment was exceedingly irregular and con-
fused all day Generally speaking. 1t could
fairly be said that railroad stocks were
firm TO strong, while the industrials were
weak This distinction was obvious at
the opening of the market, and the days
trading tended rather to emphasize II, ex-
cept that the demoralizlng tendencies in
the steel industrials ultimately affected
the whole list and dragged back even the
strength Of the railroads.
There was a brief show of strength after
the opening by Federal Steel, Steel and
Wire, probably on covering OF shorts sold
in Yesterdays break, but In the late trad
ing these stocks, as well as others of the
group, fell to the lowest In the present
movement The extreme declines ranged
all the way from l TO nearly points, the

definite news to account for the weakness

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, May 15.-The ruling of the
market for cotton futures was better early
to-day, but speculation failed 10 improve
on the reaction. The uplift was largely
due to unexpected frmness in Liverpool.
Among the factors tending to create bear
ish trading and to restrain bull specula-
ton, were very encouraging crop accounts
and evidences of weakness in Southern
spot markets. A feature of the forenoon's
operations was buying of the July and
August positions by Wall street and prom
inent export interests, causing relative
tirmness in those options. The later de-
liverles were kept steady almost all day
by purchases for profit, the latter being
chiefly for the account of outside invest
ors. Tho business received from the
South went almost entirely to the short
side, this being quite in line with recent
trade from that quarter. Until the last
half hour after noon developments were
uneventful At that time a burst of
heavy selling for both accounts from all
quarters carried prices down with a rush.
New Orleans led in the selling. At the
close the market was easy with prices 2
points higher to lower.

firm and advancing tendency of the tur-

to-day on the strong demand, and the
prospective requirements for supplies for
both foreign and domestic purposes. 1t
will not be surprising to many of the trade
if the price goes considerably higher be-

lacks a sufficient demand to keep trading
moving along. The close to-day was at a
decline on some grades, particularly wa
ter white, which dropped ten cents. 1t
is stated buyers are holding off in the
hope of getting the lower grades for less
than the present prices, and this is help
ing to produce a dampening effect on the
