the beads on this curtain were dis

I saw a mouse leap up at the cur

with it. What asked myself, does
a mouse want with a glass bead
and made a close investigation that
proved that, while some Of the gIob-
ules were glass, many were rice
grains, which are, suppose, cheaper
than glass in the orient. In nearly
all japanese curtains you'll find, IL
you examine them, that the pale

Experts on Railway Traffic Hold
Widely Divergent Views.
Commerce Commission says Com
binatiOns Force Small Shippers
Out-HiH Says "COmmunIty of
Interest," Reduces Rates.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The annual
report Of the Interstate Commerce
commission, which was transmitted
TO congress yesterday, renews the
declaration made in previous reports
that in its present condition the act
to regulate commerce cannot be en-
forced. The feature Of the report is
the almost sensational statement Of
the relations existing between the
railroads and a comparatively few
heavy shippers.
Taking up the practice prevalent in
the west Of allowing some particular
individual a concession which enables
him to handle practically all the grain
transported upon a particular rail
way, the report says:
While the Investigations Of the commits
sion have not fully covered this aspect Of
the case as yet, II IS a matter Of common
information, and we know from repeated
complaints received that some one firm
or some individual purchases substantially
all the grain which IS handled by given
line OF railway, and the claim IS made
and the. inference IS almost a necessary
one that this firm or individual must re-
ceive concessions which enable it or him
to underbid other buyers in the same
market. These different lines, IN an ef-
fort to obtain z share Of this business
and to divide Il up among different com
petfng routes deem It necessary to drive
out OF business the small buyer and %
operate through single large concern.
One effect Of this is to put the miller out
Of the market as an independent buyer.
As Viewed by James J. Hill.
Chicago, Jan. 25.-When the second
days inquiry by the Interstate Com
merce commission into the Hcom-
munity Of interest" combination of
the great railways of the northwest
opened Saturday, great interest was
manifested in James J. Hills testi-
mOny. In answer to questions tend
ing to show the effect of the COM
munity of interest plan on rates, he
declared competition does not lower
rates, but, on the contrary, he be-
Geved that it advanced them. He de-
clared that in the northwest, where
for 20 years the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern have been at
peace, where one road has agreed with
the other on rates and maintained
the agreements, rates were lower
than in any other part of the country.

Washington, Jan. 29.-In the pres

ident Roosevelt cannot accept any
present from either Emperor William

from congress. An examination of
the precedents is said to disclose the
fact that while in many instances our
presidents have apparently received
presents from abroad, they never have
retained these except by express au-
thority conferred by congress.

are made by widow Of Il Boer officer
who IS now trying to support herself in

in South Africa as the impeyan is in the

family, and bears some resemblance TO
the bankiva in the Philippines. The tail
feath<s are curved. slender, and of a
wonderful chestnut color, which shades
from the lightest hue into a red brown,
almost maroon. At the tip Of each feath-
er is white eye. which throws the sur
rounding tint into very high relief. The
other feathers are small and brilliant.

THE COTTON MARKET.
Fluctuations Continue Within a Small
Compass.

NEW YORK, July I2.-It was a mar
row cotton market. with fluctuations
within a small compass Buying Of Sep
tember by one house was large or rela-
lively so. or at any rate sufficiently
iargt to attract some attention. ana the
strength OF August was by no means
ignored. But it is conrended that the
short interest in tina. month is against
;be actual cotton.
Rumo.s were afoat that some 5000
bales are to be shortly shipped to Eu-
rope from New York ana the stock here
Is decreasing az the rate Of l.G01 or
2,G00 bales day. and is mostly con
trolled. it is understood, by Phiadel-
Caroiinas. and Alabama all had bene-
fetal rains
The only question is whether Texas is
getting quite enough. In the northeast
ern sections the precipitation was
heavy, and there were also pretty good
rains in Inc central portions. but it ap
pears to be In the Western ana still dry
section that they are most needed.
On the whole, however. the crop IS
supposed TO be doing p-etly Well. The
South sold or a small scale.
Liverpool advanced to II American
points. but it is the weather rather than
Liverpool that the trade is watch
ing. The crop is doing well in Ar
