COTTON MARKET
 0A FIRM BASIS Opened Steady and Higher and Remained Fairly Strong OFFERINGS WERE SMALL
Active Covering By Room Shorts and Light Demand From Commission Houses Caused Firm Tone.
 Little Weaker at Close.

New York, April 1.-The cotton mar ket opened steady. four points higher to two lower and then was firm on ac- tive covering by room shorts and light demand from commission houses. Port receipts were smaller than expected and spot market news from the south was firm. Offerings were small to say the least and for the time being sentiment favored higher market. Yet bull sup port was not aggressive and a prom inent commission house was said to be quietly selling July around SS2. The Liverpool cables were rather disappoint- ing when the market opened and for balance of the day the English prices worked slowly closing with the tone easy. Toward midday local prices began to sift there and sentiment gradually cross ed over to the bull side. Then came a short rally on light estimates for tomor- rows New Orleans and Houston receipts followed by a set back under profit talk ing by local holders. What appeared to be a bear raid and scattering liquida- tion sent prices down just before two o'clock July touching SIS and for the rest of the day the whole list appeared heavy and very sensitive to selling from any quarter.
 The market closed quiet net to 3 poins lower. Strike news from the Fall River mills and better weather reports from the belt helped to undermine the afternoon market.

the guests of the capital OF the nation
They came by thousands to participate
in the thirty-sixth encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, the open

The city with its lavish decorations

There is scarcely a building on the
principal streets that is not festooned
with the national colors and many of
the stands and vehicles on the streets
are similarly decorated.
The program for the day included an
automobile parade, regatta on the
Potomac, the dedication of Camp

Scott Circle, and the line extended for
many blocks. After passing through
the principal streets the procession was
reviewed by number of cabinet officers
and other invited guests from the
Judges stand erected near the White
House.
The George W. Cook fife and drum

TO REPEAL THE LAW.
Secretary of the Interior Would Stop
Timber Entry Frauds,

Washington, Oct. 6.-The secretary
of the interior is this winter to make a
special effort to have the timber and
stone act repealed. Under this act a
personsmay take up land more valuable
for timber or stone than for agricul-
tural purposes on payment of 50 so per
acre. The department of justice and
the agents of the land Office last year
investigated number of these entries
in Washington and alleged that they
were not made in good faith but that
the entrymen were figureheads for
eastern lumbermen who finally got a
title to vast tracts of valuable timber
lands for song.
The secretary proposes to repeal the
law which makes these frauds possible
and to have an act passed fixing GER
tain price for timber land. based on the
actual value of the timber thereon. A
bill is now pending in congress meeting
the requirements of the department.

KLONDIKE GOLD.
Yield This Season Is Estimated at
Twelve Million Dollars.

Seattle, Oct. 6.-The yield of gold
from the Klondike region this season
will exceed $12, 100000. This total is
lighter than that OF last season, but
those in touch with the situation in
and about Dawson believe big in
crease will be shown next year. The
change in mining operations now under
way is expected TO produce this result.
The $l2,000,000 brought out from
the vicinity of Dawson has been han
died principally by the Alaska Pacific
Express company OF Seattle. Up to the
time of the arrival of the Humboldt the
company had brought $9,500.O00 from
Dawson, and the Humboldt added near
ly half million more to this total
The remaining vessels will bring
smaller shipments of gold. Practically
all the gold shipped out from Dawson
came to the states in this manner, the
Northern Commercial company being
the only large handler of gold dust that
shipped out its own holdings.
1t is predicted that the operations
of large companies on the rich Klon-
dixie streams with hydraulic and other
machinery will result in large in
crease OF the output from that district
The companies will 60 over much of the
ground already worked by miners with
out machinery, and it is predicted val
liable cleanups will result where it has
been thought heretofore the ground was
scarcely worth working.
"The shipments of mining machinery
to Dawson for use in the Klondike dis
trict during the present year have been
enormous, said f.. G.. Newton, auditor
and general agent of the Alaska Pacific
company, who has just returned from
the Yukon metropolis. Next year
this machinery will be used in going
over the dumps which have been depos-
tied by the workings of the smaller OPP
orators, who have not attempted the
use of machinery. From my investiga-
tions of the reports l have received l
have no doubt the gold taken from this
source will equal, if it does not exceed,
the amount already taken, out of the
Klondike mines.
Zone thing is certain, and that is the
output from the Klondike region will
be as large next year as it ever has

Detroit Lawyer Sends Draft OF
Bill to Roosevelt.

Detroit. Mich, Oct. 6.-F. A. Baker,
detroit lawyer, has mailed draft of
a bill for government ownership OF coal
mines to the president. 1t is based on
the Chapelle decision, and provides
that the president, whenever in his
judgment public good requires It, may
ACQUIRE by purchase or condemnation,
the title and ownership of any coal
mines, the same to be operated for the
public benefit, the United States dis

of the mines and TO operate them, coal

decision upon which Mr.. Baker bases
his bill.
"It is now we'll settled that when

GIVE AWAY COAL.
Morgan Will Bring $4,000 Tons
From Europe.

New York, Oct. Ga statement is
sued by J. P. Morgan & Co., and given
out by Mr.. Steele, member of the
firm, says Mr.. Morgan will purchase
so 900 tons of coal and give it to the
poor of New York. The text of the
statement is a follows:
at is learned that the International
Marine company has arranged to pur-
chase in England $4,000 tons of the
best domestic fuel coal for immediate
transportation to this country. Ship
ments will begin at once and be hurried
forward as rapidly as possible, even at
the sarifice of the company's regular
business, if it should be found neces-
sary.
"This coal, as we'll as more. if re-
quired, will be used to relieve any suf-
fering that may exist among the poor
or in public institutions.
The motive prompting such munif-
cence at the hands of Morgan, it is mint
ed, is direct slap at the barons for
failing to settle the strike at the recent
Washington conference. Those who be-
lieve this motive back of the gift assert
that Mr.. Morgan sent for President
Truesdell last week and told him that
the strike must be brought to an end
Immediately. President Truesdell is
rveported to have said that Mr.. Morgan
mixed in the strike two years ago and
made possible the situation as it exists,
and he would have to keep out and al
low the operators to conduct the fight
along the lines already evidenced.
The starving out of the miners is also
limited at. Mr.. Morgan is not only the
head of the shipping combine that will
convey the English coal to this country,
but is also the master spirit of the coal
situation. With a shipload of coal a
day, which would not tax the resources
of the combine, he can avert fuel
famine and at the same time starve out
the striking miners.

The lumbermen who drive logs along
the swift rivers of northern Maine
have devised novel piece of mechan-
ism for finding bodies that lie below
the water. The instrument is called
water scope.
1t consists of molasses hogshead
with one head removed and pane Of
window glass cemented above a hole
cut In the remaining head. The hogs
head is set on end, with the end con-
tanning the glass in the water.
Two green and heavy logs are then
dashed to the sides of the hogshead
causing it to float as deeply as possible
I'm the water. The logs are held to-
gether by spiked cleats fore and aft, so
a man can stand OH the improvised raft
and scull 1t back and forth. AS soon
as the mechanism is completed small
man gets into the hogshead, which Is
closely covered at the top, to exclude
the light
When the man has been inside few
minutes his eyes become accustomed
to the darkness, so that by looking
through the pane In the bottom, the
only point where light is admitted, he is
nabled to see to depth of twenty or
thirty feet and distinguish objects lying
upon the bottom Of the waterway.
