New York, April 23-The home de-
mand has been without new feature of
any moment, but there has been more
business done for export in brown cot
tons and export cuts of the latter have
a hardening tendency. Bleached and
coarse colored cottons are quiet and un-
changed. In prints and ginghams the
market is without new feature. Print
cloths inactive throughout. Hosiery and
underwear dull and market irregular.
COTTON.
New York, April 23.-July shorts figured
as the chief supporters of the cotton
market again today and speculation on
the part of investment public continued to
grow in favor. On the first call prices
were three to six points higher with the
undertone steady. No sooner had the
opening preliminaries been dispensed
with than a small rout of room shorts
and active buying for outside account set
in and prices went upward with rush.
On the advance, the South, Europe, the
West and Wall Street, bid energetcally
for May and July and August. Before
the buying movement gave any sign OF
exhaustion, May had reached 1928, July
S.34 with the bear faction displaying con-
siderable excitement. Accompanying the
bulge were rumors to the effect that
July was to be sent still higher and that
a prominent Western grain house had
become greatly interested in the sum-
mer months. Profit taking eventually
checked the rise and by midday prices
were off to a level some two or three
points under last nights closing For the
rest of the session fluctuations were more
conservative and operations were toned
down decidedly. Most of the afternoon
business dragged heavily, the room trade
being mixed in its views and orders from
the outside being at limits which pre-
vented their execution. Estimates for
larger receipts quite Offset the Govern
ment's weekly weather report which had
already been anticipated as of marked
bullish import The early cables were a
leading factor in the early advance The
market was finally quiet with prices net
unchanged to four points lower.

Captain Bellew and four other British were
killed and several others were wounded.

the Beers are now in the habit of shifting camp
by night. Lately the British columns. after long
night marches. have arrived at their objective
points only to find the Beers gone.
British columns penetrating Orange River Col

or freshly ploughed lands. the Beers making off
at their approach and returning when the col

The invaders have reached the sea- COM

The republicans have secured a number of

followed in order to get so TO Cape Town as
they are now. The fact that Wednesdays fight was
at Piquetberg seems to show that the Beers had

POOLROOM RAIDERS THINK PLAIN

For the second time in a little over two months

Crime made raid on an alleged poolroom in the
rear of the Waverly Cafe. No. 124 Broadway

poyes escaped before the heavy wooden doors
leading to the room battered down There
was considerable excitement among the one
hundred and fifty men who were in the place
when the raidlng party entered and wild
scramble ensued to escape by means of the
windows. A number of the showed a dis
position to fight, but when assured that they
would not be arrested desisted and remained
quiet

perintendent McClntock said he knew the men
by sight. but paid little attention TO them. He
did not realize the significance of their presence
in the place until he captured the expense book,
but by the time that he had perused the items
they had disappeared.
The last entry in the book read, Police 500"
1t had been entered In the book but a short
time Superintendent McClintock said, adding
that he that the two policemen were

rants for the arrest of the proprietor and en-
ployes OF the poolroom from Justice Holbrook

TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUNE-l
--.n,np+on oct 17.-It can be authoritatively
lated that the draft of the new Hay-Pauncefote
-..stv viii be ready for the Senate when Con-
&c meets in December Its salient features
are these:
r,rst-The new convention supersedes the
CLAYTON -BuIwer Treaty.
s,cond-The principle of neutrality is guar
,..d. the United States being the sole
Euarantor'
rbird-The right to fortify the canal is e.
red 10 the United States alone.
These features meet all the objections which
.rose in the Senate when the original Hay
psuncefote Treaty was submitted and In
harmony with the dominant note of the Senate's
-svision Of that instrument. In a spirit of lib
.rslty and earnest neighborliness. the Salisbury
government has agreed unreservedly to these
no,nts without even manifesting feeling of un-
gracious yielding Of any contention. In point
NJ fact. there has been not the least display Of
cbauvinism or jingoism on either side in the
--ogresg of the patient and careful negotiations
vbich have resulted in a promise of such great
good 10 both nations
Now that the chief obstacle has been removed
,rom the path Of the Nicaragua Canal, it is con-
s5ently believed that there will be some positive
and definite legislation on that subject at the
forthcoming session Of Congress. No consider
shle opposition TO the enterprise has been urged
nv anv influential element Of lawmakers on any
other ground than that which has been so COM
pletely coyered by the three points made For
example the new convention even provides for
the fortdcation Of the canal by the United States
whenever this nation cares 10 do that unusual
and unnecessary work. Much has been said in
the House the theme Of the United States
fortifying the proposed waterway. In the Sen
ate there has never been much support for this
proposition mainly because the Senate realizes
the utter futility of expending millions Of dollars
IN constructing costly forts along the route of
the canal which can be defended only from the
sea and not the land. However, in order not to
give the House another opportunity to delay
canal legislation by debate the subject of
Notifications. the new convention reserves to the
United States the right to fortify.
There Is little doubt that the Senate VIII ratify
The treaty az the earliest practicable date. Even
Senator Morgan OF Alabama, who for years has
opposed all agreements with Great Britain on
the canal question which did not include pro-
vision for setting aside the Clayton Bulwer
Treaty favors the convention recently negoti-
ated. Senator Lodge. OF Massachusetts, is known
heartily to favor the new treaty. In brief, it
