SENATOR QUARLES
Is Greatly Impressed With the
Richness Of this Country and
Asserts That Congress De-
sires TO Legislate Only for the
Good of the People.

Senator Joseph V. Quarles, Of
Wisconsin, was a passenger on the
south bound Katy express last
evening, being on his way to Mus
kOgee to join other members OF
the sub committee of the senate
committee on Indian Territory af-
fairs.
Senator Quarles is a pleasant
and afable gentleman and readily
impresses one with his great
earnestness BY the time be had
reached Vinita he was pleasantly
undeceived regarding the country.
"Why," he said earnestly, "you
have beautiful country. Some
how | had obtained the impress
sion that most of the territory was
a waste, but certainly such mag
nificent domain as this should be
80 conditioned as to permit of an
early settlement. | declare | am
enthused over the prospects OF
this country even by the little !
have seen. The vast majority Of
the people Of the east and north
are as ignorant Of the truth regard
ing your country, or more SO, than
have been.
"The impression has been more
or less general that the Cherokee
people do not desire settlement
of any kind, but hope to see the
present impossible conditions con-
tinued. To hear that the vast
majority Of Cherokees are anxious
for allotment and that the treaty
of today contained such provisions
as to cause them to either reject it
or forfeit manhood and property, |
surprises me.
"As senator, and chairman OF
the senate sub committee, | In
tend to personally acquaint my
self with the true conditions of af-
fairs. / will join Senators Jones,
of Arkansas, and Kyle, Of South
Dakota, at Muskogee. We three
are a majority of the sub-commit-
tee and we will tour the territory
thoroughly. Much time will be
devoted to the affairs OF the Cher
okees. We do not intend to OBJ
tain our knowledge from any par
ticular set or class OF people, but
will converse with and listen to
the opinions of all classes. What
we desire to learn is the truth, and
we will not be influenced by the
desires or wishes of any class, but
will hereafter be guided in our Of
fetal actions by what we person {
ally know of the conditions CLEAN
ed by personal examination and
inquiry. t
"We are especially anxious to c
ascertain what is being accom-
plished in this country in return
for the vast amount Of money that
has been and is being expended.
In answer TO inquiries. Senator
Quarles stated that in his belief r
this country would be rapidly set S
tied soon after the final allotment I

MANCHESTER MARKET.
Prices Have Been Firm With Ten
 dency to Harden.

Manchester June 23.-During the past week prices have been firm, with ten dency to harder, though altogether busi- ness has been rather quieter and weak ened after the active cloth market in the earlier part of the week.
 A fair amount of business has been booked from China in the past ten days and the immense demand is largely atis- fled. The week has seen considerable in- quiry for Indian standards, in which Bombay was the principal purchaser, and Lancashire manufacturers are becoming more actively engaged in consequence of the continued inquiry from the leading outlets. The volume of transactions has sometimes exceeded the current produc- ton. The news concerning the monsoon in India causes little anxiety. The princi- pal trade with the Levant and South America has been executed.
 Yarns have been firm. Sellers have not been making satisfactory progress, all though a better demand of some descrip- tions for shipping has resulted in fair business.

STAGNATIDN IN
 LQK6ON MARKET NominaIly Attributed to the Fa-
 nous Ascot Races
THE DULLNESs IS ACUTE
There is Increased Activity in Amerl- cans and the Union Pacific-Mil- waukee DeaI-Difficulties Threat
 en herman Electric Concerns.

London, June 23-In spite of easy money and cheerful American outlook there has been another dull week on the London Stock Exchange. This weeks stagnation was nominally attributed to the Ascot races as previous stagnation had been attributed to the derby and the oaks. It Is true that many influential persons are about bent on holiday mak- ing at the race course. but the dullness on the Stock Exchange Is the cause rather than the effect of their absence. During the past week business has al- most been nil; consequently the mar Ret Is very sensitive to selling which is the form taken by most of the transac- tions nowadays. Dependency has come to be regarded as the normal tone of the market. Consols went down from ssc to 7-16 this week and the expected issue of loans has been delayed on account of the unfavorable outlook. Home rails are tobogganing gently it Is true, but steadi- ly the fall averaging Ac all around.
 There is increased activity in Americans and the Union Pacific Milwaukee deal was industriously denied but has been the center of interest. This deal resulted In slight backward movement
 Attention which was not altogether mournful, has also been directed to the difficulties threatening the eight German engineering, railway and electric com panies through the failure last week of the Hummer Electric Company.
 It is not believed that a disaster in- volving all these German enterprises can be averted but the occurrence is pointed to as an indication that the German manufacturers have been over-stimu- lated under the intoxication of that race for commercial supremacy in which the German empire did not enter with that zeal apparent In other centers. Critics advert to the governmental paper'' and the spoon fed" shipping tone and inti- mate that any German commercial diff ficultes, are rather acceptable to British industrial complacency which has recent ly been severely tried by the success of competing foreigners. The increase of the capital of Vickers Sans 6 Maxim by 100000 pounds in ordinary shares, has been a subject of considerable specula- tion as well as rather adverse com ment.
