handsome interior of the hall of rep
resentatives added much TO the inn
pressiveuess of the general scene at
the south end of the capitol when
Alexander Mcdowell Pa9 called the
new house of representatives. to or
der at noon Monday. The vast cham
Der had been reprinted, regilded and
completely refurnished during the re-
cess and many changes made for the
comfort and convenience both of the
members and spectators. The floor
had been elevated TO greater angle,
the mahogany desks rising tier on
tier, making a sort of amphitheater
effect
The old benches in the galleries
had been replaced with dark leather
cushioned chairs and as admission
was denied except to holders of tick
cts the usual crowding upon such oc-
casions was avoided. At ten o'clock

in profusion.

Monday transformed the senate cham
Der into a yeritable flower show. AL
most every member of the body was
the recipient of one or more of these
evidences of the regard of his friends,
and the atmosphere Of the chamber
was heavy with the odor of rare plants
and blossoms. The display of chrys-
anthemums was notably beautiful,
many of the specimens being of the
choicest varieties.
Since the adjournment Of the senate
last spring the chamber has been re-
decorated and reearpeted. The prinei-
pal features of its beauty and indi-
viduality have been retained, but they
have been added to by the artistic dec
orations. A bright green carpet with
old gold figures has taken the place
Of the old gold carpet Of the Fifty
sixth congress, and the desks and fur
nishings of the chamber have been
notably improved.
Messrs. Dietrich and Willard, of Ne
braska; Gibson, of Montana, and
Kittredge, of South Dakota, were
sworn in as senators.
After the usual resolutions and the
appointment of a committee TO notify
the president that the senate was in
session a recess Of 30 minutes was
taken.
Washington. Dec. 3.-Before the re
cess Senator McLaurin Is. CO. offered
a joint resolution providing for the
free admission Of articles intended for
exhibition to the Charleston exposi-
ton. Objection to immediate eonsid-
GRAFTON was made by Senator Hoar
who said no business should be trans
acted until the president had-been in
formed that senate was in session.
The senate took further recess I'M
til two o'clock to await the organiza
tion of the house and the appointment
of its committee to wait upon the
president. Senator's Hale (Me.) and
Morgan (Ala.) were appointed as the
senate committee.
At two o'clock the senate reassem-
bled. Senator Gamble announced the
death of the late Senator Kyle, and
the senate adjourned.

New York, Dec. 5.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices five points

the market became firm and the trading
basis stiffened to to 5 points over last
nights bids on active general buying
led by shorts and Wall Street bulls.
Weak English cables and bearish prl-
yate Liverpool adviceS made little i'm
preston OH the market for time.
Room sentiment was bullishly inclined
on the firmness of Southern spot mark
cts, bullish estimates of receipts during
the balance OF the month and good re-
ports. About the only cotton for sale
was offered by commission houses whose
constituents sold for profits. Trading
was very active with Wall Street sell
Ter on sharp advances and a buyer on
weak points. The undertone at noon
was firm. There were several large buy
ing orders for January, May and March
at SC. and these not only held the mark
ct steady, but tended to discourage bull
selling. On the last hour, however, this
demand was gradually appeased with
the result that when a furry Of profit
taking set in the market gave way
rapidly, selling off to 10 points during
the last half hour. Leading room bulls
took advantage of the decline to pick
up cotton sold yesterday and some bears
used the break as an opportunity to
protect themselves. Short selling was
not engaged in extensively on the de-
cline. The liquidating movement con-
tinued to the close with the market fin

New Orleans, La, Dec. 5.--The reitera-
ton in Liverpool of his estimate of H.
900 by Neill today occasoned the east
ness there and our market in sympathy
opened 2 to 3 points lower. subsequently
advancing 6 points on fresh buying The
weakness of spots and restricted demand
combined with liberal receipts caused a
break of IL points from the top, latter
making the net loss of 8 points on the
day. From the advices received from the
interior as well as from Europe it is evil
dent that the radically small estimate
issued by the bureau is considered absurd
However it is concluded that there must
be some importance attached to these
figures providing there is decided
shrinkage in the movement in the near
future. In the meanwhile European
spinners evidence no anxiety or eagerncss
to enter the market, and if this policy
is persisted in it is an acknowledgement
of very poor trade of a general opinion
that there will be a sufficiency of cotton
to meet the worlds requirements. With
such diversity of crop views existing
receipts will be the principal factor in
determining values for the present

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. 5.-The upward move
ment in stocks, which gained some
force yesterday afternoon, came to an
end this morning in face Of the realizing
by the speculative pools who have nur-
tured the advance in the recently promi-
nent stocks. The perception of this
realizing checked the following among
the professional traders and led to a
reactionary tendency all through the
market. The factors at work in the
money market leading to the depletion
of the cash reserves of the banks begot
spirit of caution in the mourning OF
liabilities for speculative purposes. The
market started off briskly and strongly
with yesterdays leadership fully main
tanned to all appearance. but the sharp
gains by a few stocks and the sustain
ing influence of these was taken adj
vantage of to realize Before the day
closed the early gains were wiped out
except in a few instances and the aver
age level of prices at the close will be
seen to be lower than last night. The
selling of stocks grew notably less as
the decline in prices proceeded, and the
market sank into extreme dullnesS at
the low level. The loss thus far this
week to- the Sub-Treasury of $5,S74,00O
serves as a warning note to the optimist
on the money outlook. The disburse-
ments on Government accounts have
been very light during the week and the
offerings of Government bonds for re-
demptiOn have receded to nominal fig
ures, notwithstanding the withdrawal
of bonds on deposit to secure circulation
up to the full limit allowed for the
month and presumably with the purpose
of offering thin for redemption.
There was an easier tone in
the sterling market today, but
continental exchange hardened.
Money was in active demand in London
to pay the installment due on the Brit
ish loan the price of gold advanced and
a stiff money rate is expected there for
The private discount rate rose in Paris
today and the sterling rate there re-
coded further. The possibility of further
gold exports next week is thus clearly
foreshadowed. Between now and De-
cember 20 the local money market has
to make provision for the Standard Oil
dividend disbursement of 900, and
a l per cent dividend on United States
Steel, common stock, which calls for up
ward of $5000,000. The decrease was no
immediate indication of money scarcity
in today's loan rate, but the certainty of
further contingencies had much to do
with the quieting of the speculation on
the stock market. A renewed decline in
Amalgamated Copper after some early
frmness, in spite of the recovery in the
raw copper market in London, was also
an unsettling influence in stocks. The
market closed dull and generally heavy.
The railroad bond market was steady
for time, but became irregular in SYM
pathy with stocks. Total sales, par

KID Arcoy,s MARKERS.

1t will be many months before Kid
Mccoy will return to America. He is
now in London spending his part of
the swindle with. Corbett. But before
departing for England he left enough
tabs to cause him to be remembered
Tor some time, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer. McCoy's weakness is the race
track. He would rather bet on 1-to-3
shot than eat a big, fat turkey. When
supplied with funds he was a con-
slant visitor to the courses. 1t was the
Old story. He was soon broke, and
while financially embarrassed he and
Corbett and Eddie Burke framed the
fake fight. When this became known
his credit became good with certain
plunging bookmakers, and the result
was the cunning Kid set in markers tc
the extent of $500. When his fight
with Corbett was discovered to be a
fake he was called to account and
pleaded guilty. He was then ordered
out of New York, and took the first
boat to London. But before depart

suLL1vAN,s BEST WORK.

Sir Arthur Sullivan, at the time OF
his sudden death, which took place
while he was writing letter, had Just
completed a "Te Deum" in honor of
the supposed successful conclusion Of
the war in south Africa. 1t is said by
the experts who have had the oppor-
tunity of examining it to be the finest
work Of the dead composer, and Will
be produced for the first time on the
occasion of the national thanksgiving
in st. Pau's Cathedral, which is to
constitute the most notable feature OF
Lord Roberts return to London, to-
wards the end of this month. the
Prince and Princess of Wales as we'll
as the other members of the royal fam.
lily being present.
1t is said that the "Te Deum" was
written by Sir Arthur at the sugges.
ton of the Prince of Wales, and tho
contrast between the glorious out
bursts Of praise with the passages ex-
pressive of humble thanksgiving is so
striking that one cannot refrain from
the impression that Sir Arthur, who
had been seriously Ill for more than a
year past, wrote with the knowledge
that the hand Of death was already
upon him. The "Te Deum" will not
be his Lost Chord" but his "last
chord"

HOPEFUL FOR THE ABBOT.

Confident that there is in The Abbot,
the wonderful record breaker trotter,
purchased recently by Fire Commits
sloner John Scannell Of New York. for
S26,5CO, the possibilities of two min
ute speed. the new owner will send the
horse back to Hamlin's stable to be
put in training for the greatest pos
sible development of speed. The Abbot
was bred and raised by the venerable
horseman, Cicero ]. Hamlin on Village
Farm, at East Aurora, Erie county,
N. Y. Back to the greatest stock
farm in the blue grass region of the
north the great trotter will go. Mr..
Scannell is by no means satisfied with
the present speed Of the Abbot. A
record Of 2:O3A at seven years of age,
MT. Scannell argues, does not by any
means exhaust the possibilities of the
animal. Most, if all, other interna-
tional record breaking horses have
made their best speed when they were
more than seven years of age. So Ed
Geers of the Village Farm stable, &C
counted the ablest trainer and the best
driver who ever mounted a sulky. will
again take The Abbot in hand and
develop every iota of speed that is in
him.
