Kansas is Still Republican.

Representative Miller, who has returned
from Kansas, where he went to attend the
republican state convention, called on the
President When Mr.. Miller's attention was
called to suggestion that the democrats
are expecting to make some gains in Kan
sas in the congressional elections this fall
he said: Il do not know where the expecta-
tions of the democrats come from. Re
publican prospects in Kansas are exceed
ingIy good. There is only one democratic
representative in the House from Kansas.
The district Is close and / think the re-
pubIicans will carry that this fall, giving
us a solid delegation in the House. Popu-
lism is dead and fusion is useless, for the
reason that there are no pOpuliStS to fuse
with the democrats. The democratic state
convention nomina ted part of a ticket and
left the other part for the popuiists- The
fact is that thousands of Old-time republi-
cans who were populists have returned to
their party.

Senator Depew will leave for Europe
Wednesday. and called on the President to-
day with some friends. The New York SEN
ator has recently been making some OBJ
servations as to the republican presidential
nomination in 1901. and he does not hesitate
to announce that his conclusions are that
the people want Roosevelt and will nomi-
nate him whether the politicians are for or
againSt> him.
You are quoted, senator, as saying that
Roosevelt will be nominated in 1904, was
suggested to Senator Depew.
You boys will ask me questions, he
said land l must tell the truth. The SEN
timent is widespread that President Roose-
welt is making a good chief executive, and
the people say that he must have another
term"

ers Gen. j. NJ. Bell and Charles E. Price of
Edinburgh Scotland. The ending of the
Boer war in South Africa was touched
upon during the conversation, and the

Representative Tongue iof Oregon, at the
request of constituents at Albany, Oregon
and elsewhere, today presented the Presi-
dent with three mounted specimens of the
choicest game bird in that state. These
are the MongoliaD pheasant. They were

who minister to China for years. Judge
Denny shipped the birds TO this country
from China, and they have proven remark
ably prolific. Two males and a female
were presented to the President, who was
invited 10 visit Oregon and hunt the birds.
The President was pleased He congratu-
lated Mr.. Tongue on his reelection by such
a splendid vote. In 1896 Mr.. Tongue was
elected for the first time by plurality Of
sixty-four votes Bryan carrying the same
district that fall by 1850 In 1898 Mr.
Tongues majority was 2OO0; in 1900, 3,O19
and in 1902 6,O31.
Conference With Labor Commissioner
The President talked with Carroll D.
labor, for some time Saturday regarding
the situation in the anthracite coal region.
The President stands ready at any time to
be of any service possible to aid in effecting
a settlement of the differences existing be-
tween the operators and the miners, II this
be possible. No statement was obtainable
at the White House as to the result of the
conference between the President and Mr..
Wright. Under the act creating the Depart
ment of Labor the commissioner is empow-
cred to investigate the causes of labor dis
putes that tend to interfere with the well
fare of the people of the different states
and report the same to Congress or to the
President.
Attorney General Knox Returns.
Attorney General Knox has returned from
the trip ne made to Old Point Comfort for
the recuperation of his health. He had a
long talk with President Roosevelt Sunday
night and is presumed to have gone over
the vacancy on the bench Of the Supreme
Court Of the District. The impression
+ strongly prevails that President Roosevelt
| will send to the Senate within a few days
the nomination of John G. Thompson OF
Illinois to be judge OF the court.

Cotton Letter

Especial to the News and Observer
New York, Dee 20-Like a great many
people, we have an idea that figures
make dry reading. While figures do not
lie and all that sort of thing, they can
offer one way and rally to another Now
for instance. the worlds visible supply
is 1859, 900 bales, as compared with A.
02S,000 bales last year and 1927 900 bales
two years ago. Taken on this stand. we
think there is enough in the comparison
to send every one into the market as
buyers. Not for a few paltry points but
for nine, ten or eleven cents a pound.
Think of ii for a moment. Three hundred
and fcrty thousand bales less in the
worlds visible supply of cotton than a
year ago. Last year prices started from
S.23 about this time and never stopped
going until 9.6S was reached in the
spring. Why this year we should go 10
1868 on the same reasoning. But wait
minute. We started the season with
a worlds supply just 100000 bales less
than last year At the present time
European spinners have pa 600 bales
mere than last year. according to Ellison,
and taking Northern and Southern spin
ners together the American supply is
l30. 900 bales more than last. year, The
two mean total of $4,000 bales held by
spinners more than last year and the
visible supply is 100000 bales less. Now
where is the bull argument? In one way
you can turn this into bear argument
il you want Prices last year were about
71Ae. all through November, when some
5,000,0 coo bales of cotton bad been mar
keted. Spinners did not pay over SC. for
5000, 600 bales bought early in the sea-
sou, They have paid over Sc, and as
hish as S#c. for every bale OF the new
crop this year. We are taking New
York prices as Q basis. Now it stands to
reason if spinners have bought the cotton
at higher prices this year when they did
not buy as much last year at the lower
prices last season they have not only
paid more for their cotton but have more
on hand. If they have more on hand they
will not have to buy as they did on last
years alvanse after January. So YOU
see YOU can't trust figures any way YOU
want The market is still the same OH
market with every reason why the price
should be higher for the present at least,
but without buyers enough TO put the
market up. Take profits or all advances
and watch the movement.

quotably lower.
The contract market was somewhat un-

undercurrent of bullish sentiment, pre-
dictated upon the extremely light crop
movement. This spirit is most pronounced
in the local field where prices on the near
positions are being steadily forced we'll

advices were not encouraging but our
market nevertheless only opened point
lower and advanced five later on the
small Houston estimate and The expcc-
tation Of continued light receipts owing
to the existing local blockade. The lib
eral New Orleans estimate for Monday
and clearing weather in Texas occasioned
a decline of 4 from the top, making the
closing practically unchanged from yes
terday's figures. The interior town re-
ceipts are freer than for some time back
end the probability is that with con-
tinuance of fair weather the movement
will increase some towards the latter
rart of the week There is no indication
that the movement will show any decided
increase in the amount to be marketed
because the congestion of cotton in New
Orleans will not be relieved before 4
week or ten days and during the interim
the railroads may only make light trips.
This. however, is becoming generally
known and there is consequently less inn
portance being paid to the small figures.
Traders cannot understand why there Is
not more buoyancy shown in enhancing
values considering the strong statistical
situation. If the world would believe
that the movement indicated exhaustion
considerable excitement in The market
would be in order But as the Census
Bureau on October IS reported that five
millions. nine hundred and twenty
thousand bales were picked and ginned TO
that date and the amount marketed from
September LIST. to December 10Th inuclu-
siva was only six million. one hundred
and thirty thousand, it demonstrates that
this is very slow moving crop. and
then it also confirms roports that large
quantities are held in the interior be
cause of all the cotton picked and sinned
since October 18th 10 date none of il
practically mas yet been marketed. Not
withstandinc the arguments pro and con
the fact remains that sentiment IS very
bullish and will cause a furth-
er enhancement providing receipts do not
show sign Of increasing decidedly.
