COTTON TRADERS
 CLOSE ACCOUNTS July Deal Furnished No Spe- cial Feature
TODAY WILL BE HOLIDAY
6earlsh Cables and Improved Crop Ad- vices Acted as Factors of De- pression, But Downward Move
 ment Arrested by Liquidation.

New York. May 29.-Much of the ses- sion on tho Cotton Exchange today was spent in closing up minor accounts pre- paratory to the holiday tomorrow and as a matter of precaution pending receipts of Fridays acreage estimate from Wash- ington. The July 'deal' did not furnish any special feature though that option was weakest and firmest on all fluctua- tions, due largely to the relatively great CT speculative interest than in any other position. The opening was steady though prices were off two to nine points under active selling for local and foreign ac- count. The near months came in for the bulk of the selling pressure. Bearish ca- bles, heavy port receipts and generally improved crop advices acted as factors of depression. Liquidation was brisk for commission account and cotton purchased for rise came out in good blocks The downward movement was arrested by proft-talSing and buying for a rally when July had touched ITO Liverpool followed our decline after the opening but was quick to respond to the steadi- CT ruling here and out of the board a few buying orders, mainly late months. By midday the opening loss had been re- covered and a net gain of one to three points established. For the rest of the session the market followed a compara- lively narrow path and much of the time was neglected speculatively. The esti- mates for tomorrow's receipts south, the weather forecast and southern market reports averaged more favorably to the market than expected and served to check selling of a bear nature. Closed steady with prices net one to four points higher.

New orIean. Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May 29.-The market for spot cotton was perhaps a bare shade steadier but without any very great amount of business doing. The offerings are decidedly poor and as factors are in clined to hold off for full prices there Is small incentive to the purchasing element to operate beyond the limits of present necessities. Sales 1200 bales, including $50 to arrive Quotations unchanged. There was a moderately brisk bit of trading after the first call today in the market for contracts and for a short while prices fiuctuated rather sharply. But the steam soon worked out of the market and during the remainder of the session the movement was somewhat sluggish Liverpool broke 2-64d on spots and net 2-64Q3-64d on deliveries to which New Orleans responded at the opening by a loss of points on June and to 5 points on other months. After the open ing call there followed a series of rather sharp fluctuations but the general ten dency of prices was toward higher level and at the closing the market showed gains of to points over yesterday s closing figures

Mr.. Fullerton denies that the lakes are
filed with dead bullheads floating about
on the shores as was stated by A. T.
Ehlert, who visited this city several days
ago with petitions on behalf of the fisher
men, and says that the present agitation
of the matter has all been brought about
by Mr.. Ehlert and others who did a large
and remunerative business in the ship
ment Of fish from the state. He fur
Their says that the fishermen did not con-
fine their operations to bullheads, but
included with those fish in their ship
ments black bass and other strictly game

ISLANDS ARE BOOMING
TRAVELLER SAYS ANNEXATION HAS
BEEN HELPFUL TO HAWAII
IL. M. Wells, Prominent Educator

of His Home At

H. M. Wells a prominent educator Of
Honolulu, and nephew arrived in St.
Paul last night from the coast en- route
to Boston, and are at the Merchants nc
tel. MIR. Wells, who has been in the
Islands for eight years, is principal OF
one OF the government schools at Homo
lulu, and he states that great prog :ess
has been made in educational matters
within the past few years.
The school over which he pres. des has
about 225 pupils, the majority of whom
are Chinese ana Japanese children, who
make very apt scholars and as a rule
they absorb and assimilate knowledge
fast. They are first taught 10 speak
and write English, after which they take
up the study of geography, arithmetic
and history. Recently, education has
been compulsory, all of the children being
compelled to attend school for a certain
number Of months in the year
In referring to the general situation in
the islands, Mr.. Wells said that ever
since annexation to the United States
business of all kinds has been given a
wonderful impetus, and at the present
time Honolulu is experiencing what, in
this country, would be called a boom.
The simple fact that a stable form of
government has Eeen established in
spired confidence, and the population has
increased immensely, while a large num-
Der of new buildings are going up.
Mr.. Wells expressed surprise at finding
the weather so hot, and he states that il
is never so warm in Honolulu as expe
rienced in st. Paul yesterday, the high

MENACE TO PUBLIC
THE POLICE COMMISSION DEMANDS
SYSTEM IN OPERATION OF
ELECTRICITY
MUST REMOVE DEAD WIRES
Public Ways Have Been Encroached
Upon by Unnecessary Poles,
Cables, Masts,
Etc

The right of the several telegraph, tele-
phone, electric light and gas companies
to the use of the streets and alleys and
the incumbrance of the same with q
mass of wires, cables and poles is to be
a subject of special inquiry by the police
commission.
At meeting of the police commission
yesterday, Commissioner Lawler intro
duced a rather significant resolution,
which reads as follows:
Whereas. Under the charter of the city
of st. Paul, it is the duty of the board
of police to take proper precautions in
order that the streets, alleys anu other
public grounds of said city may be as
free as practicable from danger to per
son and property, and it is the special
duty of this board, under section 10 or
chapter Z of said charter, to prevent and
abate public nuiSanceS,
Now therefore, in view of the con-
stantly increasing encroachments upon
the public ways by telegraph, telephone.
gas and electric, street railway and other
companies by the erection and main
tenance of wires, cables, masts and other
permanent structures, and the consequent
danger therefrom to person and props
erty,
torney and city engineer are hereby re-
quested to advise this board of the names
of each and all persons, companies and
corporations which now occupy any OF
as above described with the nature, To-
cality and extent of such occupation ana
the Justification therefor. The corpora
ton attorney is requested to render to
this board his written opinion as to the
laWfulneSs of such occupation by said
persons, companies and corporations, re-
spectfully, and to report in detail the
grants or franchises under which said
occupation is claimed to be lawful and
the date of the expiration of the same.
The corporation attorney is requested
also to advise this board as to it's power
to Su1nmarily cause to be removed all
such poles wires and other apparatus IN
cases where said occupation is unlaW-
full. In such cases as the occupation
shall be lawful but for no stated period
and merely at the pleasure of the city,
he is requested to advise this board as
to its power or the power of the city,
acting through any of it's boards or
bodies, to forthwith compel such poles,
wires and other apparatus to be removed
or put underground so far as practicable,
And in the case of corporations if any
such there be, holding under franchises
which permit such occupation for term
of years, he is requested to advise this
board of the proper procedure to prevent
chises unless the same shall be so mod'
fed as to require underground constrIic>
ton so far as practicable
The intention of the commissioners in
giving passage to the resolution is to
compel the removal from the streets Of
a lot of dead wires and unnecessary
poles, and to compel the placing of wires
underground that at present are
menace to the lives and property of
citizens.
