COTTON MARKET SHOWED STRENGTH  Closed With Net Gain of 5 to

 at Home and Abroad.
WEATHER IS UNAVOIDABLE

New York, October 12-The cotton mar ket opened quiet and steady with prices unchanged to 3 points higher and then turned firm on covering by nervous shorts and support from Wall street houses which carried January to s.Os.
 The cables from both departments of the Liverpool market were about as ex- pected and receipts continued on about the scale anticipated.
 But the factor which disturbed the bears was the weather news. This gave heavy rains over extensive portions of the central and western belt, and short fall in temperature with frost feared in Oklahoma and Indian Territory tonight Moreover there was little cotton for sale In the local pit and the market seemed pretty free from burdensome long in- terests. The South bought sparingly in our markets during the session, chiefly near months Bad crop accounts, state ment In the Chronicle that the yield was turning out less than expected and con- tinued large spot demand for both export and home use helped to strengthen the early market. For a Saturday short ses- sion business was quite active and we'll distributed through the trade. In the last hour shorts abandoned all pretense of de- fense and retreated before bull aggres- sion with a rush. The close was steady, well near the top. net to points higher.

Lee & Co.'S Letter to H. D. Cothran & Co.
 New York, October l2.-The market re- sponded more or less readily to late gov ernment reports, receipts, changes in con- ditions at the mills. cable news, etc But the main thought of the trade now cen- ters on frost. Much now depends, so far as the size of the crop is concerned, upon temperatures of the next twenty days. The action of today's market was gov- erned by weather reports pure and sim- pie. The latter indicated sharp fall in temperatures over the northern and west ern belt where there were cold rains.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, October 12.-The market for spot cotton was very firm today, and considering the short hours covering the Saturday movement a very steady and Offerings were rather scant as the result of the heavy sales made during Thursday and Friday, but there was enough of the staple out to afford buyers an opportunity to fill pressing orders, and the total of transactions reached up to $500 bales of spots and 1850 bales to arrive. Quotations 1-16 higher.
 There was fair amount of animation displayed in the market for contracts during the short hours today, though the opening was tame and for a short period the general feeling seemed to be one of dullness and depression.
 First call figures stood to 2 points up. Shortly after the cali the market was sharply affected by the posting of the daily weather chart, which indicated considerable area of low pressure in the heart of the central section of the cot ton belt, with every prospect of the de- velopment of damaging storm and the advent of the first cold weather of the season. Prices immediately stiffened and began to climb. The advance was gradual and at times was interrupted by down ward fluctuations of a point or two under the pressure of short sales, but the trend was steadily toward a higher level, and when the noon closing was sounded the record showed net gains from yesterdays range of values of to points through out the entire tier of months.

Suicidal Policy.

With the exception of those Senators
whose voices and votes are absolutely
controlled by the administration and
the syndicates behind the administra-
ton, there is the Senate very clear
perception of wisdom of allowing the
Hanna ship-subsidy bill to go over to
the Fifty-seventh Congress for that ac-
ton which is demanded by Hanna and
the monopoly interests behind the SUBJ
sidy grab.
1t Is inevitable that the Congress
passing this measure shall in the end
become more or less infamous for such
a betrayal of the people,. The truth of
the proposed substituting of few al
ready enormously wealthy interests, at
an expense of $3.50, 900, 900 to the taxpay-
ers of this country, been plainly bought
out. On its merits, the Hanna ship
subsidy bill is already damned before
the American people. The Congress
which passes it at the diction of Hanna
and the President must now do so
in the open-confessing that it dared
not resist the syndicate pressure
brought to bear in its behalf.
This evil measure, the beginning of
the repayment to the syndicateS of the
debts incurred by Hanna in raising a
$50, 000,O0O slush fund with which to
prosecute the campaign of Mr.. McKin-
ley'S reelection to the Presidency, will
be responsible for an extra session of
Congress. 1t is even now responsible
for a virtual deadlock in Congress which
is costing the Government 100000 a
day. This is not in the remotest degree
the fault of the Senator who oppose the
bills passage-a $3.50, 200, 900 steal for the
further enrichment of the syndicates
must needs be opposed, 1t is the fault
of Hanna, the syndicate agent, who is
determined that the ship-subsidy bill
shall be damned through at all costs.
The American people are a marvel
ously patient people in submitting TO
evil government, but their patience is
now being subjected to perilous test.
Mark Hanna and his party may yet have
to face a stern reckoning. They are
riding a free horse to death.-Republic.

YESTERDAYS dispatches from South
Africa tell of another brilliant victory
of the Beers over the British troops.
1t seems that Dewet ambuscaded
British column under Major Crewe and
after a fight the British troops retreated
leaving a cannon in the hands of the
Beers. The Beers pursued for several
miles, compelling the British to fight
two rear guard battles on the retreat.
The British loss was heavy. An anus
ing feature of the news is this:-'Iord
Kitchener has highly complimented
Major Crewe upon the achievement, -
that is upon escaping without greater
loss. 1t is a droll thing to compliment
general who gets beaten badly, for
not being beaten worse, and yet it IL
Illustrates one,-and the chief-cause of
British success in war. That is the pig
headedness which fails to distinguish
between defeat and victory, does
not know when it is licked and keeps
filling up the decimated ranks with new
levies. The policy has often worked
against other peoples but it would not
work worth cent against these Dutch
farmers who are every bit as stubborn
as John Bull, only they are such very
small nation numbering only about
quarter of a million souls, that the
British can lose ten men to their one
and then after every Boer is killed, have
vast population of fighting men to
draw upon.

Neal Brown, the democratic ex-
senator from Wausau, is in the city
to deliver the address before the Bar
Association in honor of John Mar
shall. In discussing politics he
stated that the democratic party
would undoubtedly get together be-
fore long and become closely organ
lied, but not through any action of
lot of quidnunets, who get to-
gether and say the party is now re-
organized. 1t will be a union on
principles.
The democratic party is now,"
he said, "a great disorganized mass
lacking the cohesiveness which the
bloodleSS sel6shness of Hannaism
gives the republican party. This
lack is source of weakness in some
respects, but in others it is source
of strength, the democracy being
the party of the people and express
ing its desires and ideals"
Discussing the probable issues of
the future, Mr.. Brown SAID that he
had no idea what would be in the
next platform of the party, unless,
as probable, the supreme court slopS
over into the administration camp
in the Philippine question and sup
ports McKinley's policy and the
people take that up as an issue.
Mr.. Brown thought that the state
administration was doing we'll. He
does not object to any of the APP
pointments made by the governor
and said that as far as the promised
reforms were concerned il was we'll
understood by the people that if an
administration carries out a small
percentage of the promises made in
the campaign, it is doing as we'll
as expected. 1.-The promises in the
preface are seldom made good in
the volume of the book" is the
way Mr.. Brown expressed it.-Ail-

THERE seems to be an uprising
among the people, throughout the
country, against saloons, and especially
is this the case in Kansas, where Mrs.
Nation is carrying on her smashing
work. 1t seems that movement is hav-
ing many followers, and in many towns
and cities, the women have gotten to-
gether fearless band and started out
to wipe out as many saloons as possible.
In Milwaukee the other evening a
woman walked into a saloon, picked mp
a billiard ball and sent it whizzing into
a large plate glass mirror back of the
bar, and then passed out before she
could be apprehended. The ONLY thing
that would drive people on a crusade
in Wisconsin would be the total disre.
gard of saloon keepers for the law.
This keeping saloons open all day Sun.
day and all night long every night in
the week, is a violation of the Jaw
which should not be tolerated in any
town.

Legislature Notes.

The primary election law is now up
to the legislature and this week the war
of words will commence.
The Vandercook-C Cook contest was
taken up in the assembly on Wednes-
day The committee had reported
unanimously in favor of Cook but there
was still another chance-a majority of
the assembly might think differently
than did the committee and an attempt
was made by blindly partisan republi-
can papers, to make capital for MIR.
Vandercook, but it did not work At
no time was there shown any feeling
for MIR. Vandercook's side of the case.
All felt that the charges were fimsy
irregularities which happen at every
election polls; also that both men were
pretty evenly matched as vote-getters
and the one beaten, should have taken
his dose and quietly retired The vote
stood 81 to A.
All new business in the legislature
will be cut off after the 18th.
Assemblyman Whitson introduced
bill making kidnapping crime and
fixing severe penalties.
A bill introduced makes it possible
for twenty tax payers in town, to
call an election and determine whether
or not 1900 pound wagons shall have
3-inch tires.
The bill to license osteopaths, so it
seems, is going to pass both houses.
A bill making it possible for any ward
in city, by a vote to exclude saloons
from its precincts, is meeting with
much favor in different parts of the
state.
The fish and game law amendment
absolutely prohibits the sale of game
birds shot by hunters
The bill to increase the salaries of
Justice of the Supreme Court and Cir
cult Judges is in fair way to become
a law.
A joint resolution has been introduced
which provides for a constitutional
amendment to create a board of par
dons which shall consist of the Govern
or, Attorney and Chief Justice.
