Sensational Personalities Used in n
Committee Room.


Committee Room.
Washington. March ga sensational
incident marked to-day's session of the
House Committee on Military Affairs, in
yestigating the Couer d'Alene mining riots
in Idaho.
In the course of the proceedings Repre-
sentative Lentz of Ohio asserted that
some of the state deputies who were there
were living with disreputable women. At
torney Cheney, representing the state Of
Idaho, protested, saying:
II hurl back at you that statement. The
deputies are reputable men,"
Mr. Lentz Indignantly resented the in>
reference of private counsel, retorting:
You ought to be kicked out of the win
dow and you would be If you had not the
majority back of you"
Mr. Lentz attempted to read from pre-
vious testimony concerning improper con-
duct of deputies. Chairman Hull over
ruled this course, which further netted
Mr. Lentz who addressing Mr.. Hull ex-
claimed:
Il want to say in your teeth that If
you are a party to protecting this attor-
ney in lie you are a party to it,"
Much confusion followed, amid which
Representative Cox of Tennessee, said:
IF any man insults me III hit him.
Either he or l go out of the window"
Many members were on their feet try
ing to secure recognition when Represen-
tative Jett moved to expel 'the attorney
from the committee room. Later Chair
man Hull remarked to Mr.. Lentz that the
latter's personal attacks must cease,
whereupon Mr.. Lentz said he would take
care of himself

1t may be stated on very excellent au-
thority that the operation of the Rich

The success cf the Seaboard Air Line
in securing a charter at the recent ses-
sion of the Virginia Legislature for a par
allel line from Richmond to Washington
has brought the companys affairs be-

will bring about some arrangement by
which the building sof this parallel line
will not be undertaken.

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Aug. murphy & Co. say:
Cotton in Liverpool closed LEAD lower
than yesterday on futures and 3-32d on
spots. This market ruling weak on Au-
gust owing to notices of delivery for
about 1000 bales forcing the longs in
that position to liquidate. New crop de-
liveres are early, owing to continued
favorable weather for the crop. 1t is said
that the cotton to be rendered against
notices to-day Will be low grade, 100 low
TO ship to Europe, but this report may
have been started TO help scare out hold
ers. Market is due a reaction, as it Is
heavily oversold.
New York Aug. Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say: A better weather prospect had
the effect of creating rather more dispo-
sition to sell the new crop deliveries, al
though the trade are not at all convinced
as yet that the crop has recovered from
the adverse conditions existing on the 1st
of July. There were, however, few buy
ing orders received from outside buyers,
and until the limited buying orders re-
ceiyed from outside buyers on the basis
$40 for January were reached the market
had little support Tenders were made for
some 5000 bales on August. thought to
be cotton which would not deliver on
contracts in Liverpool, with the effect OF
causing slight liquidation in that de-
livery. The market remains waiting
one until The crop situation becomes more
decided. AZ present IT is on the whole
favorable.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 1.-Except for the deal
ings in a handful of stocks, the list of
stock exchange securities was a stagnant
inert mass to-day. Many usually active
stocks dropped out of the dealings en-
tirely and transactions in other prominent
stocks fell to insignificant proportions.
Sugar, Union Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio
and Brooklyn Transit made the market
and all the rest of the dealings might
have been dropped out of public notice for
any significance they had on current con-
ditions.
There is not much expectation that con-
ditons will change in the stock market
for some time to come. The world of
capital awaits the solution of the prob
lem in China and the resulting require
ments of the worlds money markets. the
ultimate fate of the crops in the United
States, the settlement of the basis on
which future business in the iron and steel
industry is to be done, and the settling
down of political conditions.
The future of the money market is es-
pecially confused and complex and ex-
pert opinions differ widely as to the course
to be expected. The imminence of Eu-
ropean war loans prompts one set of
prophets to argue a drain and resulting
strngency, while another school urges
that the creation of credits and their
a detrimeut to the business and financial
world. The expected drain OF gold from
the United States is halting and 1t is not
expected now that gold will go out this
week. Sterling exchange and London dis
counts failed 10 advance to-day and Lon
don exchange in Paris jumped a full CEN
time. The Bank of England also
reduced its price for American eagles I'D
Whether this policy indicates confidence
on the part of the English institution that
IL will secure gold ultimately without Of
ferna special inducements remains to be
seen. The benefit which the money mar
ket has had from the government deficit
for July cannot be expected TO continue

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Aug. Large quantities of
long cotton came out again to-day. The
general situation had a weak look with
the principal support of the market fur
nished by the bears themselves on a de-
mand to cover in view of the very con-
siderable decline that prices have already
sustained. At the opening the feeling was
steady at a decline of l point to an ad-
vance of points. Room shorts bought in
scattering way. cables being no worse
than looked for. Later, however, the local
feeling became quite weak; prices grad
uslly worked off under professional pres
sure in the absence of outside support fol-
lowing generally brilliant crop accounts
from the entire cotton belt Later in the
day the decline was checked by covering.
yet the unertone of the market remained
weak, sentiment on the part of the pro-
fessional contingent being still pessimistic
In view of the apathy of business in cot
ton goods. There was almost an entire
absence of public speculative interest. The
market closed barely steady and at a net
decline of to 10 points.

In order TO avoid a contraction in cir
culation and withdrawal of deposits in
the banks, these bonds must therefore be
replaced by other government bonds for
deposits. The net result to the money
market will therefore be small. The gen.
orally firm undertone of the stock mar
ket to-day was in sympathy with strength
in special stocks. Yesterdays dividend
action in Union Pacific and the expecta-
ton of a dividend declaration tomorrow
on Baltimore and Ohio helped those stocks.
The early bears in Sugar became skepti-
cal of the alleged renewal of the trade
war and covered their sales. The Repub-
lie Steel stocks and Steel Hoop declined
on stories of pending labor troubles but
the other steel stocks were rather firm.

the trading.
