Washington, April 2s-The intense In
dignation which has been aroused by the
frank admission Of General Jacob Smith
regarding the famous 'kil and burn order
was reflected in variety of ways IN con
gress today.
Representatives Sibley Of Pennsylvania
and Williams Of Mississippi delivered
speeches ON she subject in the house in
which they denounced Smith and the sys-
tenn which made his order possible. Will
lams being a democrat, such action on his
part was not surprising, but the remarks
of Sibley, who IS n republican. and who
has always stood by the administration In
the past, created something OF a stir. \
speech In line with these of the two repre-
sentatiyes was made in the senate by sim
mons Of North Carolina.
The height of te storm of Indignation,
however, was exemplihed by n resolution
introduced by Representative Burlcson Of
iexas calling on the secretary of war fol
information as to whether General Smiths
order relative to the war In Sanar WAS
based on orders issued from Washington
aud requesting the transmission Of all or
ders issued from Washington relative Ia
tile suppression Of the Instruction In
Samar This resolution practically pro
poses an investigation for the purpose ot
definitely ascortnining the reasons under
living the issuance of Smiths barbarous
order Mr.. Burleson, like many other mem
bcrs Of congress, democrats and repub
licans alike. believes that smith would moi
have taken such action had he not felt
that he would he supported by his supe
riors. aud If the end aimed at in the rcso
luton is attained the public will he made
aware of the identity Of the person or per
sons in whom he apparently placed So
much dependence.
There Is very general impression abroad
that Chafrce did not encourage smith e

Glenrose IS the county seat Of somer

800 people. II is noted as health resort,
there being many springs and wells with
medicinal qualities, 1t is this which has
caused number of fine residences to be

up their abode there. and this fact adds to

and the words Britannia rules the waves"
have long been in every British mouth.
Many Of the people look upon the shipping
as the foundation of the prosperity Of the
nation, and to lose some of their greatest
lines at one fell swoop fills them with the
drear'est of f~orebodings.
Matter of shIpbuiIdIng.
Another thing which is mixed up with the
loss OF the ships is the thought that the
loss of England's supremacy in shipbuild-
ing may eventually follow. 1t is a part Of
Uncle Sans policy to build the ships
which tail under his flag, and. although In
the present instance an exception may be
made to the ships already built, they fear
that, II we are to monopolize the carrying
business Of the world. we will want to
monopolize the profits of making the ships
as well.
This fear may be and probably Is without
foundation. 1t takes time and money to
build great ships and ship yards, and to-
day the British AVE the largest ship yards
Of the world. They build more vessels
than any other nation. In 1900 they con-
structed lii vessels for themselves and
262 for other powers. Their facilities In
this respect are such that they might in
time replace the ships they have sold with
the money that has been paid for them. but
to do this would tax a big trust combina-
tion, and at the end they would have to
fight the American monopoly to which they
have sold the good will and the business
they have been generations in establishing
It Is therefore safe to predict that there
will not soon be a British combination
which can compete with Pierpont Morgan's
American shipping monopoly.

cotton etter

C. ". Lee & Co.'S Letter to cothran &
 Co
 New York, September 16.-The strength of the days market came from Liver pool There the report that Neill would be out with 10,3O0,OO0 estimate and the Galveston News with a GOO bale esti- mate for Texas brought about a wild sort of panic among the bears. II start ed a demand here and carried January to 8.62, a gain of one dollar a bale. The advance today justifes all we have said regarding cotton in the last six weeks. At 8. 6 January is within points of the high point of the season. This means that spinners are taking more stock in the government report that cotton Is not as plentiful as might be and that the chances of big money in cotton this year are good This is the time of pig re- eeipts and pressure on the market. That must be forgotten. But that cotton must sell higher seems beyond question. There has been a severe drouth, there may be a short crop. A short crop this year means 10 or 12-cent cotton.
 Reports coming to us from most relia- ble sources sustain damage news and the low figures of the bureau. The re- port today says cotton is being picked rapidly and in the south many fields are being bandoned-cleaned. This is a rather serious condition. It would indi- cate a shorter crop than any one be- lieves But while we advise caution on such advances, cotton should be bought on every break for higher prices.

THEODORE H. PRICE
 On Cotton.

New York, September 16.-The public is again cautioned against the acceptance of false rumors calculated by interested parties to the effect that I have been selling cotton or have changed my views upon the market. Such reports are un- true The weekly government report, Is- sued today. Indicates a crop much below that of last year. MT. Samuel Kirkman a well-known crop authority publishes en estimate of the crop in today's New Crlean5 papers of 10, 2c0 GOO. The Galveston News today publishes a report indicating a shorteEe of at least 10 per cent in the Texas crop as compared with last year. Such evidence cannot be disreearded. If this crop of cotton is not over 10 1-3 mil lion bales-and it looks now as if It may be considerably less-I regard Il cents as a commercial certainty for cotton.

of the Galveston News of 2.750.00O bales for the state of Texas. Buyers were fur ther encouraged by expectation of a bullish bureau report for the week for Texas, where it was contended open cot ton had been injured by rain, and they had the advantage of a report that Nel would issue an estimate of 10,SJJ0OO bales which was soon denied.
 Cables were 5 to points higher The weekly bureau report was bullish and caused a fresh spurt with best prices af- ter it's appearance, when shorts covered hastily. The weather map this morning failed to disclose anything but good con ditions. There was freezing weather in the extreme northwest which bulls were inclined to hope might reach the south west although the forecast was for moderate temperature. Some sections in the south reported below the season aver age for temperature and there vas no Tain in sight except possibly for eastern Florida. On the whole, sentiment inclines to the bullish side of the r2arket Heavy receipts fail to make much impression Extremely high crop estimates are being abandoned and mills are getting nervous because Of depleted stocks Port receipts were 40,Oo0 baies, against 19,o00 last year.
