Funston RESIGNS.
Censured By The President.
For Public Criticism Of Senators
Special Cablegram to Boletin Mercantil

New York. May 7th.-Advices re-
ceived from Washington this morning
state that Brigadier General Funston
this morning sent in his resignation to
the President. 1t is not known whe-
ther the President will accept the resig-
nation or not; UP to the present he has
not done so.
Funston's resignation has grown out
of the Philippine cruelty agitation in
the Senate. In a speech made several
W eks ago General Funston severely
critized several Senators.
President Roosevelt first cautioned
Funston and later censured him. AT
the time it s,as believed that he would
resign, but it was not until this morn
ing that his resigna ion was made p b
lie The g@neial opinion seems to be
that Funston will not be permitted to
retire from the army.

The photograph seems to have a
strong hold on the affections of San
Juan. 1t is hardly possible to pass any
sort Of a store nowadays without hear
ing one of these instruments. Each
storekeeper seems to be trying to outdJ
the other in obtaining the clearest pos
sible tunes and records. It is also a
perfect index to nationality, for in pas
sing Spanish store one invariably
hears The March of Cadiz or the Palo
ma; in passing native fonda we
hear Borinquen or some DANA, and in
going by the few American stores in
the town it is usually some Irish come
dian singing, or else rag time selection
In front o every store which possesses
a machine there is generally large
crowd OF is.eners.

Montreal, May l55.-The pursuit Of

2way.,, he stated to the Associated

Green are wanted here to answer to
q charge laid before an extradition
commissioner. The people in Quebec
who are raising so much fuss must
misrnderstand the whole thing. There
has been no kidnapping. =
Tie authorities here claim that there
is not the slightest danger Of serious
conflict between the detectives who
have arrested Gaynor and Greene In

them. Detective Carpenter has power

vince Of Quebec on warrant issued

WHAT IS HISTORY z

President Roosevelt is reported as
having said that never while he is Pres
ident Of the United States will
Maclay' US history be used at the Naval
Academy as text book.
The President means by this to say
that Maclay's history, so-called, is not
a history, bnt one-sided narrative,
full of prejudice and spite. Men like
Maclay are not fit to write history. A
historian should be man Of broad
view and should be trashful report
er. If he suppresses or extenuates or
misstates or misleads he is not histo-
rian, but a partisan writer. It is
scarcely less than criminal to teach
the children out of such book,
whether it be written by Maclay con-
cerning the Spanish-American war
or by Northern writer or q Southern
writer concerning the war between
the States. We have no right to teach
the children anything except the exact
truths of history, when we set out to
teach them history at all. We have no
right to mislead the children by mis-
statement or suppression or extenua-5
tion or coloring or what not. The
child has the right to know the exact
facts and to judge for himsef.-Cou-

COTTON GINREl D Ere FOR SEEDS
Oil Milf and Compress Men Going
Info Ginning Business s

New Orleans, La, four
cornered fight between the round cot
ton bale, the cotton gin, the OF mills
and the compresses has broken out;
in Texas which. threatens to- reToIu4ss
tionize the cotton ginning businessEforS
next season and destroy the ginneries1
unless the Texas Farmers, congress-
which meets at College station IN
can take some steps or suggest someS
legislation to protect the oWnersof
gins.
The trouble is due to- the Round
Bale trust, which has made Itself felt
IN Texas, particularly during the last
year. The trust got such a large share
of the cotton that the compress con-
panies and cotton seed oil men began
to feel it.
Formerly, the cotton went to5 the:
gin, which separated the seed and the
lint. The seed was sold to- The 81 Imiillss
and the lint, which was baled, Was
subseq quently takensto the composites
have the bales pressed so that they
would occupy less room and could
carried son vesse1sso RAILROADS.
When the trust took more cotton the
gins got less, and so did the escompress
les and the cottonseed oil mil TEey
appealed to the owners fsginss make
fight with the trust and Sbidsfor the
cotton, but thesginm men refused TO sdos'
this.
Finally, seeing that t they could notss
depend upon any assistance, the mil
men and the compress men determined
to go into the ginning business The 8
cotton seed oil mills IN Teaxs aresss
now erecting ginneries at which they
viii gin the cotton free, retaining onYsss
the seed for their mills.
The congresses are now buy yingsseed
cotton doing the ginnins: as well as:!
the baling. In fact, all four interestss.
the Oil mills, compresses, ginners sands
round bale men are prepared to- gins
and will bid on the seed cotton this
fall. tits though that the local gins;
will be the worst sufferers from this
too active scompetitio on:
