 fr1, nri,,ata xytra

NEW YORK, Feb l4.-The early returns today indicated that receipts at all ports would not be far from 26.o ooo against l 8, 900 last year. This. of course. did not help the mar ket, while in certain quarters there were at tempts to belittle their importance. The fact is the expected decreased movement has not ytt materialized. There is plenty of talk of what receipts are going to do, but little satisfac- ton in what they are at present doing Hold CTS of the smaller variety lack confidence and cut loose in every indication of l,eavy re- ceipts although 1t is equally true that all sales were at lQ3 points advance followed by 2@5 points decline. except in March. which kept up fairly well and later advanced IS points with the rest of the list recovering quickly. despite estimates of 2o5, ooQ more into sight for the week. against l6e. 900 last year. Cables we're point higher.
 The Liverpool statistical situation has url- dergone only unimportant changes the past week. The amount of cotton of all kinds in that market today show 4.ooo increase ani now 3o9, 900 in excess of last year P: ices for spots there today are ll-l6 against 5 l3-32 last year. Our exports to Europe to date exceed last year by 660. 900 bales. There must be some good basis for this increase and as before stated. the heavy exports have done more to pave the way to . higher mar ket than anything that might be said in favor of a small crop; in fact, the ground Is being taken that Europe Is now and has been for five months so clamorous for cotton that 1t is a small mater whether the crop should prove to be & million bales more than the Govern ment estimate.

HAS SHED HIS SKIN
Municipal Leopard Has Changed One
of His Spots.

The council met last night in ad-
iourned meeting, partly to close up the
regular monthly business, but princip-
ally for the purpose of canvassing the
returns Of the recent election and in
stalling the new Councilmen after
which life was to be begun all over
again.
Recorder Jobs was present for the
first time in months and was locking
and feeling quite well. He announced
that he thought he could give thu du-
ties of his Office personal attention from
now On.
The monthly and annual reports of
all the officers were read and referred
to the proper committees. after which
the election returns were opened. No
differences We're noted from the prev
iously printed reports The result be
ing duly announced the mayo" declared
the old council adjourned sine die.
Messrs. Messenger and Sanders then
advanced to the recorders desk and
took the oath OF office. Mr.. Mcneil eS-
corted his successor to his seat and Nj.
Sanders having no predecessor. had to
c@cort himself TO his corner. After the
friends OF both had congra tulated them.
the next years fight opened up. Though
it did no good. MI Messenger found an
opportunity to vote no once or twice
during tire evening.
The first business to attend TO was
the appointment of various officials for
the coming year. all tenurcs having eX-
pred with the old council. This was
done by series of resolutions. The
first was for the appointment q the
police force and jailor, all former in
cumbcnts bcing named. Mr. Messenger

WAS the failure to appoint Il superin-

The city recorder was instructed to
keep hereafter sep&rate accounts of the
expenditures in various departments Of
! the city government. after which
Councilman Sanders preached a matter
that seemed serious al first but which
faded away under the light of discus
sion. While holding the recorder in
due and sympathetic regard he depl0r-
ed that he had been abseut from his
desk so long through illness that police
court business had 1anguished and the
financial returns were not what they
@hould be. He pointed to the record
er's report which shows the receipts
for fines during the first half of the
I last fiscal year to have been about
$500. and for the last half about $500,
though the total for last year was but
little over S1100 He believed it was
because there was no one present to
Try cases and the justice courts got
them. The marshal explained that Jus
tice Burnett had willingly tried all
cases, and no proper police court case
had found its way into the justice
court. The recorder stated that
Z
Tendance hereafter and in ex-
PLANTATION of the falling eff in fines
he said that during the first six
months OF the last year about a thous-
and dollars had been collected from a
class Of women under instructions of
the council. through d practice not in
vogue since then. He might also have
stated that al the beginning of last
year the now policemen We're arrestinS
bicycle riders to a profit of from So to
SO per day. another practice that has
| ceased. Otherwise the fines are about
as usual except during the last month.
and there is always a notable falling off
in criminal business about election
time. The recorder was placed on a
salary of $50 per month. at his own re-
quest a year ago. Previously he got
a small salary and fees. and was allow
ed ten cents for registrations. There
have been three registra tinns during the
last year that would have netted him
! under the old law about $500. which
with the income from fines would have
amounted to S23OO. The recorder has
received $500. The city therefore is
anywhere from $500 to $500 ahead of the
same at the suggestion Of the recorder
himself That statement seemed to be
satisfactory to Mr.. Sanders and the
matter was dropped.

GENERAL SMITHS ORDER.

War is war. At the best it is bad
enough. When waged against a bar
barous and perfidious foe who disre-
gard its humaniziGg laws it is full OF
horrors. The unsparing hand on the
one side must often be met with the I'M
sparing hand On the other. The soldier
who faces an Immediate eXigency, and
who under d sense of duty and safety
follows its harsh summons. can rely
upon 4 just and reasonable people 70"

Wanton massacre and unspeakabl=
atrccity on the part Of Filipino bands
in Samar. Stern and rigorous force
was needed in dealing with it. All this

cepted. But such an order as General
Smiths was unjustifiable and intoler~
able, and the brand of unmistal1able
condemnation must be put upon it
