Quotations advanced l-l6 on all grades. The bullish movement In fu- lures, which commenced yesterday was we'll sustained today. After opening at an advance of from 2 to points over the gains of yesterday, the market went steadily forward and in the first hour this gain had been increased to an advance of from to points. The bulls gathered courage from the publication in the Jour nal of Commerce and Comm ercial Bull letin. showing the stocks 55 per cent un- der the same time last year. The liqui- dation that for several days had such weakening effect has all been accom- plished and a new sentiment prevails. Another strengthening feature was an ad- vance at Liverpool and firm condition in the English market. The local mar ket continued strong to the oiose with net gains of 10 points on March, Il on April and to on the other positions.

SHORTSWERE AGER BUYERS

New York, March 27.-The cotton mar ket opened steady. to points higher in partial response to firm cables and light port receipts, further advancing after the call to s.67 for July on active gen eral buying. Bull support was something of feature on the early rise, but shorts were the more eager buyers. However, strike reports from a number of South ern mills, with more promising labor ad- vices from Lowell, resulted in a quick change of front on the part of room trad CTS, and before Il o'clock the whole list was off some to ' points under selling for both accounts.
 Pit shorts sold May and July contracts It was noticed that European representa- lives and houses accustomed to handle New Orleans orders were taking nearly all the short cotton sold. and this led conservative operators to look for a rally in the event of estimates for tomorrow's New Orleans and Houston receipts being small The figures proved to be below the actual receipts of the same day last year, and for the rest of the session the mar ket was steady, with top prices of the day reached in the last half hour on a furry of general buying led by shorts.
 The close was very steady. net to 12 points higher.

obeyed, and Barbara did not have to
answer him.
She finished her work in a serious
mood, and in the evening in the little
room over the kitchen she at first sat
down to mediate as her custom some
times was. But, suddenly changing
her mind, she opened her Bible to seek
out another of the passages that re-
ferred to the servant or to service, and
after several unsuccessful attempts
to locate verse that she thought was
in Thessalonians, she found the pass
age in Ephesians, sixth chapter, fifth
verse.
Servants, be ohedient unto them
that according to the flesh are your
masters, with fear and trembling, in
singleness of your heart, as unto
Christ; not in the way of eye-service
as men p1easers; but as servants of
Christ, doing the will of God from
the heart; with good will doing sery-
ice, as unto the Lord and not unto
men; knowing that whatsoever good
thing each one doeth, the same shall
he receive again from the Lord, wheth-
er he be bond or free. And We, mas
tiers, do the same things unto them,
and forbear threatening; knowing
that both their Master and yours is
in Heaven, and there is no respect Of
persons with Him.
81 wonder just what those words
mean," Barbara thought. And ye,
masters, do the same things unto
them?' OF course, they could not
change places as master and slave.

duke of Portland, Grenville, Percivai,
Lord Liverpool and Castlereag h-de-
MED in toto the legal right of Ma
poleon to sell louisiana to us, and
they held, therefore, that we had no
right to that territory. So. you see,
Allen, that the words of Mr.. Goul-
burn on behalf of the British COM
missioners, which have quoted from
Albert Galatians minutes of the con-
ference, had far deeper significance
than our commissioners could pene-
trate. Those words were meant to
lay the foundation for a claim on
the Louisiana purchase, entirely ex-
terna1 to the provisions of the treaty
of Client. In that way the British
government was signing the treaty
with one hand in front, while, with
the other hand behind its back, it
was dispatching Packenham's army
to seize the fairest of our posses
sions.
"'You can also see, my dear VIII
liam (having once or twice during
the luncheon toasted the new starr
you can also see what an awful mess
such a situation would have caused
if the British programme had been
carried out in full. But Providence
willed otherwise. All the tangled
web that the cunning of English dip
lomats could weave around our I'M
suspecting commissioners at Client.
was torn to pieces and soaked. with
British blood in half an hour at
New Orleans, by the never-missing
rifles of my Tennessee and Ken
lucky pioneers. And that ended it.
British diplomacy could do wonders,
lat it couldn't provide against such
a contingency as that. The British
commissioners could throw sand in
the eyes of ours at Client, but they
could not avert the cold lead that my
rifemen sprinkled in the faces OF
their soldiers at New Orleans. Novs,
Allen, you have the whole story
Now you know why Arkansas was
saved at New Orleans.
There is a chapter of British SOL
diery and British diplomacy which
it were well to have Incorporated
in our school histories. Gen. Pack
enham had a force of 1900 men of
all arms, and was on his way to
New Orleans to overwhelm the thin
American line, while the British
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-02-07

commissioners were blandly prepar-
ing a treaty of Peace-preparing it
in a manner as dilatory as possible,
but carefully inserting the clause of
treachery and unfairness.
Fortunately for the American
cause, Gen. Packenham underes-
timated the fighting capacity of
Jackson and his rif1emen. Of the
1900 men under his command Gen.
Packenham only took into the battle
5,6O1, the remaining troops were dis
posed guarding roads and making
demonstrations along the river. But
1901 British soldiers would have
been sufficient to triumph over Jack
sons 1,500, if they had been or
binary militia. But every man I'M
der Jackson's command was a sharp
shooter. Every time a trigger was
drawn a British soldier felt stha
lead. The slaughter was so appan-'
ing, so rapid and so unexpected that
veteran British soldiers fed.
So, when we are celebrating the
anniversary of that battle, and toast
ing "Old Hickory" and while great
preparations are being made for the
celebration of the centennial of the
Louisiana purchase, it is well for us
to remember that American soldierv
under Jackson cemented and riyeted
the diplomacy by which Jefferson ae-
quired that magnificent empire be-
yond the Mississippi.
SMITH D. Fax. !,
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-02-07

advantage Of that flaw. Great Brit
ain, however, few years later, under
took to capture New Orleans, and with
it the entire grand territory of Louis
lana. It will sound strange to many,
but it is a fact that there would be no
Louisiana purchase commissioners to-
day preparing to celebrate the expan-
sion under Jefferson's administra ton
if it had not been for Jackson's sue
cess at the battle of New Orleans.
Only thin American line of soldiers
that day stood between British con-
quest and American integrity. Cotton
bales played a great part in saving
"the land of cotton" from a separation
of greater danger to our national in
tegrity than would have been the sep
aration sought 40 years ago.
1t is singular hist orical fact, by the
way, that when the battle was fought
at New Orleans, on January 6, 1915,
Gen. Packenham and Gen. Jackson, the
American commander, were not aware
that on December "a previously pleni-
potentiaries representing Great Brit
ain and the United States had met at
Client and had signed treaty of peace,
SO that the war was practically over,
although that treaty was not ratified
by the United States senate until Feb
ruary II, 1915.
And now we come to a historical
anecdote of interest and value. Au-
gustus C. Buell., now with Cramps at
Philadelphia, was for many years one
of the ablest and most capable news
paper men in our country. In 1875 Mr..
Buell. interviewed the late Gov. Will
liam Allen, of Ohio, at his home near
Chillicothe, for a ST. Louis daily news
paper. In that interview, after dis
cussing current political affairs, Gov.
Allen said:
shortly after the admission of Ar
kansas to statehood, I, being a member
of congress, called at the white house.
Gen. Jackson-he always preferred to
be called general, rather than Mr..
President, SO we always addressed him
by his military title-Gen. Jackson in
vited me to lunch with him. No sooner
were we seated than he said: Mr..
Allen, let us take a little drink to the
new star in our fag-Arkansas.' This
ceremony having been duly observed,
the general said: ALLEN, if there had
been disaster instead of victory at New
Orleans, there would never have been
a state of Arkansas. Did you know
that?'
"This, of course, interested me
greatly, and 1 asked: why do you
say that, general?'
Then he said that if Packenham
had taken New Orleans the British
would have claimed and held the whole
Louisiana purchase. But said: You
| know, Gen. Jackson, that the treaty
| of Client, which had been signed Is
days before the battle, provided for
| the restoration of all territory, places
and possessions taken by either nation
| from the other during the war. with
certain unimportant exceptions
| eyes, Of course he replied. But
| the minutes Of the conference Of
Client, ~ kept by Mr.. Gallatin. repre-
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-02-07

sent the British commissioners as de-
claring in exact words:
awe do not admit BonaParte's
construction of the laws of nations
We cannot accept it in relation to any
subject matter before u.s."
AT that Moment pursued Gen
Jackson. none of our commissioners
knew what the real meaning of these
words was. When they were uttered
the British commissioners knew that
the Packenham expedition had been
decided upon. Our commissioners
did not know it. Now. since 1 have
been chief magistrate, have learned
from diplomatic sources of the most
unquestionable authority that the
British ministry did not intend to
permit the treaty of Client to apply,
to the Louisiana purchase at all. The
whole corpora ton of them-Pitt, tho
