Leaders of the Democratic par
ty, representing all factions, are
lining up with the view of elimi-
mating all issues that have ten
dency to disrupt, and efforts are
being made to select the fighting
grounds upon which all can stand
on equal footing. 1t is believed
that if all contentious are, hushed
present burning issues silenced
that the party can be massed TO-
gether upon the paramount ques'
ton of anti-imperialism. With
such an issue squarely and plainly
made before the people the Dem
ocrats can win. All issues must
subordinate themselves before the
greater one of the preservation OF
the Republic, and it will be ar
easy matter TO show the people
how fast and how steady we are
drifting from the original moor
ings. The policy of the Republi
can party aims directly to this
and no legerdemain can hide it.

that committee would not agree about
this matter. Hence hesitated to raise
the question at this time, but seeing
that this bill was up and about to be
put upon its passage, as I thought the
subject was germane. brought 1t be.
fore the Senate for the Senate's con.
sideration. There Is much more.
Mr.. Bacon do not desire to umduly
interrupt the Senator. or course rec.
ognize the fact that the Senator had
an opportunity to ascertain the wishes
of the native population. and his op.
portunity was very much greater than
mine. Mine was extremely limited.
but in the limited opportunity which
| had the information which came to
me was that the native people did not
desire the Chinese to be brought in.
whatever may be said as to other
. classes OF the population of those ISL
ands.
Mr.. Burton-Well, think. Mr.. Pres.
ident, risk nothing in saying that a
very large majority of the natives. and
especially the more intelligent natives,
are In favor of restricted Chinese i'm.
migration to that Territory. This
amendment. as Senators will observe,
| think has been drawn with very
great care. II provides for the depor.
tation of Chinaman as soon as he
leaves the plantation or as soon as he
quits agricultural labor.
Mr.. Perkins, should like very
much to ask the Senator from Kansas
question.
Mr.. Internationally
MIR. Perkins-ls IL not a fact that
those who advocate the admission of
, Chinese into the Hawaiian Islands do
so for the reason that their labor Is
very much cheaper than that Of any
other contract labor that 1t Is possible
for them to obtain?
Mr.. Burton-Yes, sir.
! Mr.. Perkins-In other words. the
| planters are now making from 10 20 30
per cent on their sugar plantations In
the Hawaiian Islands. while the Kan
sas farmer makes 6 per cent and the
California farmer the sat,e. III they
can get chinese labor they can double
! their income. That is the whole ker
mel In the nut. The whole question Ii
one OF cheap labor.
Mr.. Burton-The Senator asked me
question:
Mr.. Perkins-That Is all.

Mr.. Foraker-Now I come to answer
the Senator from Massachusetts, II he
will bear with me Just a moment.
Mr.. Hoar--I desire to ask the Sen.
ator a question, but I will wait.
Mr. Foraker-very well. Under our
treaty stipulations with China no la.
borers can come into this country on
any account. The Congress. in pursu.
ance Of our treaty stipulations. has so
enacted that they can not come to
work on plantations or on farms or
In shops or in mills or anywhere. In
view of the conditions In Hawaii and
the absolute necessity for Chinese la
Dor. according to the report that has
been informally made to me, II Is
sought by this amendment, or by some
amendment that we may be able to APP
prove, to allow n limited number OF
Chinese laborers to come into Hawaii.
That will make their coming lawful.
Any condition as to their remaining.
after they have been lawfully brought
in, II Is competent for us to provide.
We propose to provide as a condition
that is, the Senator does who has
offered this amendment. II correctly
understand it-that they shall be
brought under certain terms and con.
dltions that will prevent their becom.
Ing a charge on that community, and
under certain terms and conditions
that prescribe what their employment
shall be while they are there, namely.
that they shall be brought and brought
only to work as laborers on sugar plan.
tatlons and farms where they are
needed and the language OF this
amendment, as | understand II, Is that
II after having been SO brought they
desert their employment or refuse to
pursue II they may be deported,
u Is not necessary to go into detail
In thisl egislation as to how they shall
be deported because deportation is
something with which we are familiar:
we already have machinery for that
purpose. II Is machinery that oper-
ates only when a Chinaman is found
who is unlawfully here. as the Senator
from Massachusetts suggests. But the
Chinaman who comes here lawfully on
the condition that he will pursue while
here a particular vocation and then re.
fuses to pursue It, will be here after
condition broken, unlawfully just as
much as though he had come unlawful.

CURED, but the weather was generally
clear over the greater portion of the
cotton belt. During the next thirty
six hours fair weather is predicted
throughout the cotton region. The re-
cent heavy rains in Texas interfered
with the picking and marketing of new
cotton. For nearly a week though the
weather has been favorable for gath
ering the crop, and the chances are
with the resumption of railroad traffic,
the movement of new cotton will be on
a more liberal scale. This crop is
much earlier than last year, and with
a fair demand for spots the probab-
ility is the September movement will
be large. There is no evidence of spec
ulative short selling to any extent as
operators are fearful that the crop
may yet receive some setback; there
fore, with the existing discounts in the
new crop months it was observable
that considerable covering took place
to-day. The movement of new cotton
and daily weather conditions will con-
tinue to influence values.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 5.-There were only
a few diversions in to-days stock mar
ket to relieve what was otherwise a
dead level of dullness and monotony.
Dealings during the first hour were
somewhat more active than yesterday,
and the moderate upward movement
became quite general. Only a few
stocks moved more than point, and
the interest promptly died away.
The execution of orders in few high
grade investment stocks, of which the
small floating supply is closely held,
caused some striking advances. The
rise in the Vanderbilts led by New
York Central was apparently based on
an expectation that to-day's meeting
of directors of Manhattan elevated
would lead to some action in regard
to the rumored plan to lease Manhat-
tan. The adjournment without any
announcement led to reaction in stocks
thus affected. American Express and
United States Express rose easily on
the accumulation Of some small
amounts of stock. Missouri Pacific
resisted some pronounced selling pres
sure and moved irregularly all day
The refusal Of Montana court to va
cate an injunction granted to the
Amalgamated Copper Company against
the working of a contested mine by a
rival gave a firm tone to Amalgamated,
but the dealings in the stocks were
small.

Murphy g. Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 5.-Early cotton
prices showed a decline of 2 to points
in some instances, when good buying
set in some of which was for Liver
pool. The bureau report Of yester-
day was lost sight of for the time be-
ing, but it's character was satisfactory
to the bull element who took the
ground that figures of S1.9 would prove
more helpful to their cause than fig
ures of rs. since the latter would have
been construed as exaggerated by so
many in the trade as to have dfscour-
aged intended speculation, hence the
figures of S1.9 were they contended so
conservative as to disconcert the bear
element, who were anxious for an ex-
cuse to put forth claims of absurdity,
etc. Prices have reached the level
where they are admittedly reasonable,
and expectation of a good demand for
spinners at an early date appears to
be more widespread than for some
time. especially since new cotton Is
moving slowly, and is not likely to
pick up very rapidly since many roads
in South are in bad shape. People
who have been prominent in gather
ing crops have been covering freely
of late, and this leads to suspicion
that the crop is less prosperous than
generally supposed. The weekly crop

the weekly crop weather report from
Washington and proved to be more

steady, with prices net 1 point higher

estimated at $4,000 bales.

dull and easy; quotations unchanged.
In the future market during the
early part of the session to-day the
long element had rather the best of
the argument. The opening showed a
loss of 1 to 2 points, but almost i'm
lnediately there was free covering of
shorts by one of the largest local
houses, which sent prices up briskly
for while. Notwithstanding
this squirt of buying, , however, the
undercurrent of bearish sentiment was
too strong for the improvement to last,
and when the weekly crop condition re-
ports came in there was a sharp turn
in the opposite direction, in which the
figures dropped away to 5 points on
the several months. This was fol-
lowed by a rally among leading bulls
who strove hard to bolster up prices,
but the result was only a few rapid
fluctuations, covering a range of to
points either way, that left the mar
ket at the close net, L point down to
point up.
