to the conclusion that big crop is all ready assured.
 Receipts at ports today were only 40OC against 12.000 last year. Interior receipts also were small. Prices started 3 to $ points higher and then reacted 2 to points. Weather news was without spec ial feature, light rains being reported at three points only. Reports came in of boil weevil in some sections of Texas but this caused no apprehension, so far some Atlantic states sections complain of rain needed Big rains In Texas weakened mar ket towards noon as did the weekly crop report from Washington.

Chicago, May 13.-Ths was the day for digesting the government crop report in the grain pits and although the statistics offered by the department were material ly bullish over the last observations, the crowd as usual assumed that it knew more about the true condition than did the government and paid only passing at tention to 1t. Other conditions of bullish character helped prices and after a nervous and haggling session, July wheat closed 5sc higher; July corn 1sc up and July oats a shade higher. Provisions as of late showed independent strength and closed to 10c higher.

SOUTH SENT GOOD REPORTS

New York, May 13-The cotton market higher a small scare of room shorts
 and some foreign support based on bull ish Liverpool cables and estimates for | light receipts at all points. The South sent bullish reports as to the ruling of | spot markets and as to the amount of | cotton yet to come forward, while private cables declared that sentiment abroad 1 had taken a turn for the better in antici- patton of semi-famine of spinners' sup plies toward the close of the season. But before midday the weather reports and crop accounts checked new buying and promised room selling for turn. A light l estimate for tomorrow's Houston receipts
 received only passing notice and further
 reports that bulls in New Orleans intend-
 ed accepting all tenders Of May con-
 tracts attracted little notice The room
 was bearlsh and did not hesitate to follow
 up its convictions with large sales of the summer months.
 The weekly government report proved to be fully as favorable as anticipated
 and led to heavy realizing by tired com
 mission house longs. Prices broke badly
 during the rest of the afternoon under
 general selling, the feature of which was
 over the selling of long cotton. The issu-
 ance of May notices, some 5000 or more,
 caused active liquidation of that option
 in the long ring, under which break of 6 points occurred. The market closed
 easy and net Il to 20 points lower. Total
 sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
 Heavy rains were reported in Texas
 where needed, while showers were fore
 casted for the belt tonight.

| that Phillips was a confederate of

officer to arrest him, only to learn that
| he was city detective from the uni
formed officer. Then Phillips began
to browbeat her in order to induce her
to make no report about the matter
but she did, and now it has become
public property. There are those in
the city ho claim to know whereof
they speak, that declare that such
things have been going on ever since
the Humes administration began.
There are those who claim that they
can prove that many Of the officers of
the police force have made more
money under the present administra-
tion by such questionable methods than
has the most successful real estate
man during the entire real estate boom
here. The Republican has been in
sisting all along that the police force
of this city needed a complete over
hauling, and if this case is not proof,
sufficient of it, then it is sadly mis-
taken. Blind pigs are run at the lakes
and the police officers never see them;
all kinds of criminals are congregated
in the city and the police officers rare

t-ey are authorized by the city to ar
rest just such offenders. If they are
not in league with such offenders, why
do they not arrest them? There is

Harry Tracy has come and gone
and he has left a trail behind him
badly besprinkled with human gore,
and without himself having received a
mark or scratch from man or beast
His visit to Seattle while trying t
serve as a real 'rawhide and bloody
bone" story with which the children
of Puget Sound will be frightened into
paternal submission for the next de-
cade. During his stay in King county,
even tenor of his way were given a
touch of high life that would have put
to shame the widest and most daring
antics of a Tom Blanck Besides a
hundred or more deputies on the anx-
ious seat in the bush and the by-ways
throughout three long days and nights,
and that, too, in a steady downpour of
heartless winter rain, farmers and
their hired men, dudes and lawyers all
! Joined in the chase and the rear was
brought up by the state militia, but
still Tracy succeeded in eluding his
pursuers. Tracy added to his dead
list three more victims, and wounded,
perhaps fatally, two others. If the
man is not possessed with superhu-
man intelligence, how could he have
ever escaped when he was being hunt
ed and bounded by enraged citizens
How could he have gone from place
to place, and finally escaped to another
section of the state if either God, man
or devil had not assisted him? His
capture, owing to the fact that he has
the advantage of being on Puget
Sound waters, and, perhaps, aided by
confederates, who have spent their
lives as pirates on this coast, is ex-
tremely problematical, and that, too
despite the fact that every sheriff
north of King county in the state Is
on the lookout for him, with deputies
guarding every avenue of escape in
order to prevent him from getting tc
the sea and thereby making complete
escape on foreign-bound vessel.
1t is very questionable if the officers
showed good judgment in their efforts
to capture Harry Tracy, the Oregon
desperate who escaped from the Or
egon penitentiary by killing two o
the oncers and q fellow prisoner, whf
has since been pursued by the oreger
: officers. However, if the sheriff O
, this county could have bagged him, i
, would have been feather in his cap
The Seattle Republican., 1902-07-11

The Republican notes with much
pleasure and satisfaction the appoint
ment of R. B. Scott, of Spokane. as
Chinese inspector Of the district in
and about that city with headquarters
at Spokane. Mr. Scott is the first
man OF his nationality to hold a fed
eral position in the Northwest, he
having been deputy customs inspector
on Osuyah Lake, which position he
held with great credit to himself and
all concerned for four years. Since
that time Mr.. Scott has been inter
ested in mining projects and has also
come into the possession of quite a
snug sum of money, which he has
used to good advantage AS in the
past when he was a candidate for
customs inspector Mrs. John A. Lo-
gan was his sponsor in his successful
attempt to get the position which he
has recently been named to, Chinese
inspector at Spokane Owing to the
fact that Mr.. Scott was a Union sol
dier and in command of Gen. Logan,
Mrs. Logan has taken a special inter
est in him, and each time has pre-
vailed upon the president to name Mr..
Scott to important official positions,
and, be it said to his credit, he filed
the former one with perfect success,
and it is hoped that he will do like
wise in the present one. While Mr..
Scott makes no pretention of affiliat-
ing with or associating with in any
shape, form or manner colOred folk,
nevertheless he does not deny the
fact that he is of Negro extraction,
anad when he is candidate for Office
he always uses this color for all it is
worth. But, Notwithstanding this, The
Republican is proud of the fact that
enough confidence has been reposed
in him, though a Negro, to warrant
Iurs. Logan to prevail on the president
to have him named to such a responsi- |
bic position
