ZIONI,sTS CONVENTION.
Reference to Yesterdays aTrou ble--Jew-
 ish National Fund.

Boston, May 26.-The disorder which occurred at the convention of the American Federation of Zionists in Faneuil hall yesterday was referred to by President Gottheil when he opened the session to-day. He said:
 Ut will facilitate our proceedings if the delegates will preserve as much or der as possible. Our discussion yes terday as all know became heated. I think it was in measure due to the heat in the hall, and to the fact that we had been sitting a great many hours, talking and thinking, so that our feelings had become wrought up to a very high tension. I think we feel in better condition now to transact busi- ness.''
 It was decided to hold the next con- vention of the federation in Chicago. The next matter taken up was the Jew ish national fund. It was reported that between $150000 and $2000O0 worth of shares in the Jewish Colonial trust have been taken in America, either di- rect from the London office, or through agents in the country. A number of delegates tried to get a report of the exact number of shares taken by the American federation, but their motion to that effect was ruled out of order.

POTTS WILL BE PRESENTED
GERMAN EMPEROR NOT HOS-
 TILE TO HIM,
American Naval Attachee Because of Testimony Given Against Schley De- nounced as Untrue-Origin of the Rc- port Being Investigated.

1 Berlin, May 26--Lieutenant Com
 mander Templin M Potts, the naval
 attache of the American embassy here, who succeeded Commander William H.
 Beehler, will by appointment to pre- scented to Admiral von Tirpitz, the sec | retary of the imperial admiralty, to- morrow. Lieutenant Commander Pitts has already been received by the other German naval officials of high rank with every mark of consideration. The American naval attache has not yet had an audience of the emperor simply because his majesty has been almost constantly absent from Berlin since the foreign office was officially notified of Lieutenant Commander Potts arrival her.
 The representative of The Associated Press inquired to-day at the American embassy concerning the report that Ambassador White had written to the
 German foreign office asking that Lieu
 tenant Commander Potts, having quail
 fled for his position as naval attache,
 be presented in the usual manner, and
 that the German foreign office sent a curt refusal in reply to this request. This inquiry elicited the response thatno such letter had been received at the
 United States embassy from the Ger man foreign office and the correspon- dent was informed also that MT. White had cabled a denial of the report that Emperor William would not receive Lieutenant Commander Potts to the newspaper in the United States in which this story was published.
 The embassy is Investigating the origin of the story which officials there regard as an invention probably ema- mating from a source hostile to Lieu tenant Commander Potts. The story, it appears, was offered to a number of German newspapers, It stated that the kaiser would not receive the new American naval attache because of his testimony against Admiral Schley.

Proposition to Organize a State Associa-;
 tfOu,

tfon.
 Hartford, May 26.-The managers of the savings banks throughout the state propose to form, possibly next month, a state organization similar to that which has existed for some years in New York. The object is cooperation in the various matters pertaining to the interests of the banks, such as meas ures before the general assembly, the rate of interest on denosits, the scope of the investments to which the banks are limited by law and other matters of a similar nature on which conference and concerted action may be of ad- vantage to the banks and the deposit- ors
 Tn recent years the interests of the banks, before tho general assembly, have been cared for by committee of bank officials. The selection of this committee has been 9 matter Of in- formal agreement between the manag- CTS of a few banks, and the advantage of state organization will be that all the banks of the state will be associat- ed in this and similar matters.
 It is proposed that the managers of the banks throughout the state shall hold meeting in this city in June to form the association referred to and Treasurer Nettleton oe the bank at Newtown has sent out circular letter to all bank managers to ascertain their views. According to this letter the plan already has the endorseK1ent of large of treasurers, including L. s. Catlin of Merchants and Farmers Sav- ings bank, Bridgeport: Thomas s.

THE SAVINGS BANKS HERE
WILL PROBABLY REDUCE THE
 INTEREST RATE.

Change of Rate from Four to Three Incompatible With Decreased Earn Ing Power of Investments. The several savings banks of the city have now under consideration the sub ject of change of interest rate on de- posits, with the probability of deciding upon three and one-half per cent.
 rate upon such sums as have hereto- fore borne a four per cent. rate. The decreased earning power of investments
 in bonds, owing to the low rate of in-
 terest and the high premium, and the
 restricted field for legal Investments, is quite factor in the case The legisla- ture of the state of New York has just enlarged the scope of Investments for their savings banks and included many of those legal for this state, thus mar rowing the field for Connecticut.
 About three years ago all the savings banks in Bridgeport came down to three and one-half per cent. and large num- Der of the banks in this state have al ready done the same. In all of the ad- joining states most of the savings banks have for some time been paying three and one-half per cent, and some of them are paying only three per cent.
 The examiner of the Maine savings banks, October 26, 1901, reports that five banks in that state paid four per cent, twenty banks three and one-half per cent, three banks three and one quarter per cent. and twenty-three banks three per cent.
 In New Jersey in 1900 five savings banks paid three and one-half per cent, sixteen paid three per cent, three paid two and one-half per cent. and one paid one and one-half per cent.
 In Springfield, Mass, all three of the savings banks there pay three and one- half per cent. In Pittsfield, Mass, the two banks pay a like dividend
 In New York city many of the say- ings banks pay under four per cent, and the same is the case quite general ly all over.

Cotton Letter

New York. September 25.-Liverpool
showed the effects of manipulation from
this side and yet the morning advance
of points was all lost before the close.
There was tight money and a. break in
stocks early which added to the dis
turbance. Then receipts were large
enough to swamp the market without
any other assistance, still the support
afforded January kept the market from
breaking badly and the loss was not as
much as might have been expected.
The crop movement is record breaking
and this may readily bring about set
back Under natural conditions 1t should
bring about such a result but manipu-
lators may attempt to prevent It,
Artificial restraints generally fail soon
er or later and for that reason We may
not only have a setback but a sharp
break.
We believe in keeping this fact in
mind
The January long and the March short
interest is nothing short Of enormous
Smaller undertakings in the past have
missed their aim through the appear
aneo Of the unexpected. This may and
may not prove a success. It's big
undertaking, the control of q staple
market the years production Is there
ready to be sold to you, II you get prices
the least fraction too high, of course we
believe in the market
There are no evidences of any such
production this year as will leave sur
plus after spinners get what they want.
But when one or two houses are said
to control some 800 900 to 100000 bales of
cotton It's a large factor.
Some thing might happen. It's the
duty of those interested In cotton to be
on the safe side. To be prepared for a
sudden break even while looking for
higher prices before the season is over.
1t looks to us as though the present
factors were somewhat against further
advance for the time being when the
market is so Tied up as to January a
setback of more than 20 points is posi-

PRICE STILL BULLISh
On Cotton.

New York, September 25.-The price Of
cotton futures in New York has declined
about 20 points from the highest figures
touched. The value of spot cotton In the
south has been but little effected In con-
sequence and I again advise holders Of
actual cotton not to be disturbed into
sacrificing their property because the
bears have been able to magnify the inn
portance of tight money on Wall street
so as to work upon the fears of a few
holders of paper contracts In New York.
The facts justify much higher prices for
cotton, and I am as confident as ever
that they will be realized.
