port Of Senator Mason of Illinois
who said yesterday 1--WE would be
making a terrible mistake if we
were to deny reciprocity to Cuba
but we wont do it." 1t is believed,
too, that he has the support of
Senator Cullom who seems to have
reciprocal leanings but who is too
polite to express himself strongly
on any subject for fear Of making
an enemy, something the senior
Senator from Illinois never makes
if he can help it.
1t is now believed that the SEN
ate Committee on relations with
the Philippines will report the
Philippine tariff bill with but few
changes and the Democrats in the
Senate are preparing to make q
vigorous onslaught on the meas
ure. They appreciate, Of course,
that they are in too great minority
to effect any material change but
they regard it as matter Of duty
to make as vigorous a protest as
possible.
The House of Representatives
devoted itself Tuesday, Wednes-
day, and Thursday to the consid
Grafton of the Hepburn Nicaraguan
Canal bill and after an address
which was made by Mr. Hepburn
a spirited and interesting discas-
sion followed IN which the speak
er was piled with questions. The
discussion developed that the SEN
ate Department was expecting to
pay to Nicaragua and Costa Rica
the sums Of S., 900, 900 and 81 ,000,
900 respectively for the rights in
their territory. 1t also developed
that the Panama route had many
friends in Congress. 1t is pre-
dicted by some that no definite
legislation will be enacted during
this session of Congress but the
active interest displayed yester-
day. and which was evident by the
in the Senate commit
tee rooms after that body had adj
iourned, would discredit the re-
port.
There is no lack of political or
social lions in Washington but
when man comes from France
with an interocean1c canal in his
pocket and involving forty mil
lion dollar deal, he is worth see
ing. Your correspondent, there
fore, armed with an introduction
from the French Embassy, called

The new Willard. The Panama
Canal representative is a typical

ache a la Napoleon, LII. He was
sufficiently acquainted with the
English language to be able to say
with a pronounced accent, ''You
American journalists are surely
early Birds" and he was sufficient
" diplomatic and reticent to avoid
saying anything much about the
canal. By system of direct ques-
,ioning, certain information was
ELECTED and there is no doubt that

FOR FOUR TERRIBLE DAYS
SHIPS CREW WAS IN PERIL

SAN FRANCISCO. June 2l.-That the
British ship Monkbarns. which has arriv-
ed. 149 days from Liverpool. ever reached
her destination Is due to the gallant fight
against fire made for four days and
nights by Captain McNeilley and his
crew.
The Monkbarns left Liverpool January
% All went we'll until February p, when
at 4.S0 a. m. smoke was discovered coming
out OF the ventilators leading to the fore
hold.
An Investigation revealed the fact that
the cargo was on fire. Four holes were
cut into the deck and water was pumped
on the blazing merchandise until the
flames were subdued sufficiently TO allow
sailors 20 descend into the hold, fix tackle
10 the smoldering bales and hoist them
10 the deck. from where they were
promptly thrown overheard.
d Nearly all the cargo in the forward hold
was jettisoned before the fire was extin-
guished. Little harm was done to the
hull OF the ship.
The cargo jettisoned and in which the
fire started. by spontaneous combustion.
II Is thought, consisted Of oakum. felt and
chemicals.

New Orleans cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS. June 21.-The weeks doings
in cotton In the market show net declines of IS
points on July, 70 on August, 10 on September
10 on October and on December. The volume
of trading has been rather small, the weather
always an uncertain factor dominating the sit
uation so far as the deferred options are con-
cerned. The slaughter Of the innocents in
the July position has been fierce, prices at one
time during the week making a decline OF %
points under last Saturdays close. The opin-
ion prevails here among best informed people
that the big ones have quietly unloaded july
and that at present very little speculative in
terest exists In that position and that the cot
ton sold in this market for July is about equall-
ed by spots TO be delivered on July contracts
