 pool Today.
MARKET GETS IRREGULAR

New York, February 19-The cotton market opened steady in tone, with prices unchanged to 5 points lower following an unexpected show of weakness on Liver pools part. Soon after the call big port receipts came into play and prompted active general selling under which prices worked still lower.
 Liverpool continued to send bearish ca bles and for the moment everything seemed to favor a sharp reaction from the late stubborn strength. Wall street bought freely at the lower prices and the South picked up small amounts of near months. Europe, the commission houses and room traders sold for marked de- cline throughout the day
 Toward midday it became clear to all that interior receipts would fall about 5000 bales below par. causing a reduction of 5000 bales in stock. This inspired con- covering by the more timid shorts. By midday May was back to S.55 and July to s.52, with the feeling once more quite steady. Yet commission buying on a generous scale failed to make it's appear ance and the official estimates for to- morrow's receipts were heavy.
 For the rest of the noon hour the mar ket was very irregular, casing off to S.51 for May, only to react to S.55 on cov- ering by ring shorts, who feared a repe- tition of yesterdays sharp bulge. But in the last hour heavy realizing forced May back to $50, and at the close prices were net to 9 points lower, with the tone steady. The room went short at the close in anticipation of weak cables from Liverpool tomorrow.

SBNAH0R DUBOIS
DISCUSSES TRUSTS
Says Congress Did Not
Want Legislation.
Turned Down His Amendment Carry
ing Out Wishes of the
President.

When the census bill was under dis
cussion in the Senate last February"
said Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho
at Democratic headquarters yesterday,
Il offered an amendment which covered
exactly what President Roosevelt asked
for in his late Pittsburg speech anent
the suppression of trusts. And my
amendment vas rejected by Z strict
party vote, every Republican voting
against 1t, in face of the fact that the
amendment carried the very thing asked
for by the President in his message to
Congress.
Now" added Senator Dubois, ''if the
Republican party wanted to do what the
President asked them in his message.
they had a most excellent opportunity
to show their willingness by voting for
my amendment Since. however, they
voted 1t down, it is plain to the people
of the country that the Presidents
party is not with him in this matter
of publicity or control OF the trusts.
and though he says since Congress ad-
journed he intends to fight the trusts
and promises the people remedial leg
islatiOn that would give both publicity
and control. 1t would seem that he
reckons Without his host.
We can judge the future only by the
past, and unless he has stronger con-
troll over the Republicans of the Senate
than he had last February we will get
no such thing from Republican Con-
gress."

FOR RECIPROCITY
THIEVES ON INCREASE.
Tourists Warned to Beware of Those in
Italian Railway Stations.

LONDON. July 12.-Now that the tour
list season is again on. it may perhaps
be well to warn intending visitors to
Italy that they must be on their guard
against railway thieves. who are a
standing disgrace to the Italian rail-
ways.
As has been pointed out before, there
is TO doubt that they are railway Off
cials, or working with their connivance.
This season is already bringing forth the
usual complaints.
An English tourist, accompanied by
his wife, who was travelling from Pisa
to Genoa, received his registered lug
gage three hours after his own arrival
at Genoa. The trunks had been ran
sacked, the dresses torn. and jewelry
to the value of 50 had been distracted.
He appealed to the railway officials, who
appeared to be Indifferent and referred
him TO the police, who were equally
apathetic
In a recent report British consul
said that luggage robberies in Italy were
scandalous. and were very much on the
Increase. He had mentioned this mat
ter in his consular reports until he was
ashamed of the frequency OF his com
plants.
There is no remedy for the traveller
except to remain in Italy and institute
legal proceedings and even then the re-
suit is more than doubtful.

MOODY DECLARES
FOR ROOSEVELT
GOING TO WISCONSIN.
Secretary to Postmaster General to Be
Away During Primaries.

Francis II. Whitney, private secretary
to Postmaster General Henry c. Payne.
will leave Washington tomorrow for
Milwaukee. where he will Join Mr..
Payne at his headquarters In that city.
Mr.. whitney will be accompanied by his
wife and two children. who will spend
the summer at their summer home on
Beaver Lake. in northern Wisconsin.
Mr.. Payne. the politician Of the Cab

waukee, Strengthening out the factional
differences In the Republican party in
Wisconsin. and Mr. Whitney. who has
been associated with him both political
~ and in business for the past nine
years. will assist him throughout the
summer.
Mr.. whitney is very we'll known IN
Wisconsin. and is very popular with the
rank ard file OF the Republican party in
the State.
Before coming to Washington as the
Postmaster Generals private secretary
he was an officer of the company owning
the street railway system Of Milwaukee,
of which Mr.. Payne was vice president
and general manager.

genius who has attained so commanding
a position. not in Great Britain alone
but through the empire whose policy
has Just been so triumphantly vindicated
and who stands at the very pinnacle OF
success and achievement, might almost
be excused for declining to rest salts
fled with any place lower than the
highest.
To Chamberlain's Credit.
1t is much to Mr. Chamberlain's credit
that he yielded to superior claims. He
has added to the weighty obligations
under which he has already laid his
countrymen. He has shown not for the
first time that he can prefer national
interests to the qualification of personal
aims.
The Times" says the King consulted
Lord Salisbury in regard to the man
most fitted to succeed him. Mr.. Bal
four's claims are universally recog-
nized. He has led in the House of Com
mons for the past seven years, and
commands its confidence to very un-
usual degree. The loyalty of his own
party is now immense. The majority OF
them never wavered. while he enjoys the
confidence, regard. and almost the al
fecticn OF his political opponents.
There IS no ether man in the House
who. in those respects, can approach
him.

UGLY CHARGE AGAINST
A CHINESE CONSUL
Gigantic Smuggling Scheme
at Honolulu.
Yang Y-Ting Charged Exorbitant Fees
Protected Conspiracy to Smuggle
in Opium and 0rientals.

That outpost of civilization. Honolulu,
has been made the base of gigantic
smuggling operation. Yang Y-Ting, the
Chinese consul at that port. has been
discovered to be the moying genius in
a plan to defraud the United States OF
duties on opium and other Chinese I'm
ports.
Some time ago Customs Collector
stackable asked Secretary Shaw's per-
mission to investigate the premises oc-
cupied by the Chinese consul. The Sec
retary of the Treasury replied that
search OF the Chinese consulate might
precipitate international complications,
but that the collector should gather ali
the evidence obtainable and report.
Since then Customs Collector Stack
able has not only unearthed the SNUG
Cling scheme, but has also discovered
that the Chinese consul was engaged in
extorting from the Chinese exorb:tant
fees for his services in vising their pa
pers from time to time. and that great
conspiracy existed under his protection
to smuggle Cinnamon into the United
States
1t is not thought China will make any
representations against the punishment
of her agent. as at this time she is un-
der TOO great obligations to the United
States to risk any complication on ac-
count OF delinquent official.

BOSTON MAN THREATENED.
NaAant Neighbo-s Write Anonymously
of Tar and Feathers.

BOSTON. July 13.-T. r Robson. a
Boston business man and one OF the
largest property owners in Nahant. has
been threatened with n coat OF tar and
feathers and ride on rail out Of
town unless he complies with certain
conditions imposed by the writer OF
anonymous letters which contain these
threatse
The letters. according TO Mr.. Rob-
sons reasoning. are inspired by Ger
tain persons who occupy cottages near
his property. upon which he has per
mitted a young man to erect tent.
These cottagers. it is stated. did not
approve OF the presence OF this tent, and
undertook to have 1t removed in various
ways.
They finally complained of it as nui-
sance, and an inspector of the Nahant
board of health investigated and re-
ported that he saw nothing about the
place to object to.
Then followed a number of anony-
nous letters, of which the following
is a sample:
There is a coat OF tar and feathers
awaiting you, and if you don't have that
tent removed from your lot we will tar
and feather and ride you out of town
on a rail. A new feather bed has
been purchased. and especially for you.
and you will receive that new coat un
less you act quickly"
Mr.. Robson says that he has faith
ful rifle awaiting the first person who
undertakes to molest him.

Mr. Balfour enjoys the warm support
OF Mr.. Chamberlain his position viii be
secure. As chief secretary for Ireland
he showed courage and immense force
OF character. and in the most critical
period OF the Sotth African war, when
generals despaired, he rose TO the emer-
gency and forbade the abandonment OF
Lady smith.
Tie Chronicle" says It was clear that
Mr.. Chanberlain's present chances fol
the premiership we're impossible. The
Conservatives could not accept him be-
cause he would not satisfy their de-
mands en- religious education. Another
thing against him was the strenuous
ness with which he always encountered
his opponents on any question.
Too Many Indiscretions.
There have been too many violent in
dscretlons in his career. He is too
much at variance with the ideas of the
Conservative party TO step into the of
hce Lord Salisbury has vacated.
The Telegraph" says that as soon as
Lord Salisbury was assured that his
desire for rest could not retard the
Kings recovery he formally rendered
his resignation. II was accepted with
many expressions Of regret. \ message
was Immediately sent for Mr.. Balfour.
whose first act was to visit Mr.. Cham
berlain, who declared his most cordial
readiness 10 serve under him.
Mr.. Balfour then visited the Duke Of
Devonshirc, president of the council.
whose answer was similar TO Mr..
Chamberlain s. After consulting with
other members of the Cabinet Mr.. Bal
four was justified in accepting the pre-
miership.
Chamberlain Impossible.
\ Chamberlain administration would
be an impossiblity at the present time
for many excellent reasons-first. be
cause loyalty. mutual admiration. and
affection between him and Mr.. Balfour
made rivalry impossible. Mr.. Chamber
lain has made no secret of his infieXible
determination not 20 accept post
which by seniority belonged to Mr. Bal
four, and secondly. because for long
time Mr. Chamberlain cannot be spared
from the Colonial Office, where he has
done more than all his predecessors put
together TO weld all BritOns into one
great harmonious family.
No technical promotion could raise
Mr.. Chamberia.:: to a higher position
than he occupies at this moment in the
hearts and minds of his countrymen.
The STANDARD" regular Conservative
organ, says there is no hint of intrlgues
or persona! friction which often attend a
change in the premiership. Mr.. Bal
four's leadership is readily accepted,
even by those who might reasonably re-
gard themselves as competitors for the
vacant place. MIR. Chamberlain has gen
erously and periodically effaced his own
aspirations and Is content to remain as
Mr. Balfour's able and efficient lieu
tenant. 1t is right and wise decision.
