SENATORS DESIRE HIS TEST
MONY AT ONCE.
Would not Summon Soldier in Phil
fppines as Latter is Soon Coming
Home-Cannon Says There is
Much Untaxed Personal Property
in Washington.

Washington, May IA resolution
was offered in the senate yesterday by
Senator Patterson of Colorado direct
ing the secretary of war to order by
cable Major Gardener, now in the
Philippines, to come Immediately to
Washington to appear as witness
before the Philippine commission. 1t
precipitated a warm discussion. The
debate was continued for about two
hours, considerable feeling being
manifested on both sides OF the cham
Der. The charge was made by the
minority that the majority committee
was endeavoring to suppress facts
and information. This was denied
by the chairman of the committee,
Senator Lodge, who said any such
action would be inconceivably stupid:
All parties, he insisted, were anxious
for the fullest information, but he and
others contended it would not be adj
visable to cable to the Philippines for
Major Gardener as he was about to
come home and would be here IN
time to appear before the committee.
Senators Paterson and Carmack OF
Tenn essee urged that Gardeners testi-
mony was particularly important and
ough to be had before action was
taken on the bill. The resolution
went over until today. The bill for
the purchase of the Rosebud reserva-
ton of South Dakota and the sundry
civil appropriation bill were consid-
cred but no action was taken.
House Passes Agricultural Bill.
The house passed the agricultural
appropriation bill and began consider
alton of the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill, the last but two of
the regular supply measures. By the
terms of the special rule adopted be-
fore the district bill was taken up, it
will be in order to attach a rider to it
to make operative the existing person
al tax law of the district, which has
been a dead letter twenty years
Chairman Cannon estimated that
there was $10O,O00000 Of untaxed per
sonal property in Washington. The
resolution calling on the secretary OF
state for information as to whether
American citizens of Jewish faith
were excluded from Russia was
adopted.

H. G. B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.
(snecia1 IN News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New Orleans, La, April 2S.-Heavy
buying for continental and Egyptian ac-
count caused the sharp improvement in
Liverpool. and our market in sympathy
opened 10 points higher on old crop
months, and to points on new.
Fresh buying in consequence of the
light movement and frmness of spots
occasioned an additional advance of to
6 points later, but realizing near the
close. superinduced slight decline,
making the net gain Is to II points on
summer options and Z to IS on new crop
months. Liverpool, operators are now
leading the advance and seem to be as
extremely optimistic now as they werc
pessimistic during the first seven months
Of the season. Manchester cables, how
ever, state that in consequence of the
high prices, cloth sellers find profitable
business increasingly difficult to obtain
Many there think that values are dan
gerously high, while others believe they
are likely to be maintained in view of
the good continental demand for cotton,
still nobody is able to account for the
large sales Some orders were executed
for China and India, but the state of
exchange has apparently paralyzed the
trade in staples. There are no specula-
tive short sellers apparent here. Every
one is either very bullish or quietly
looking on waiting something new to
develop. These prices are certainly
high, and even on the merits claimed
for the articles they discount everything
in the present situation. Of course spec
ulation may force the market higher.
We strongly advise our friends to keep
out of the summer months entirely and
have no interest on either side. We
think well of buying the new crop posi-
tion on all weak periods as the risk is
small, owing to the large discounts, be-
cause any setbacks, there will be a ma
terial enhancement in these months.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 2S.-Speculative in
terests in stocks showed considerable
falling off today and the full day S
transactions scarcely reacted million
shares for the first time in two weeks.
The feverish activity which has charac-
terized the recent leadership of the
market was decidedly lacking, If the
rather large dealings in Reading be ex-
copied. The tone of the market was
hating and uncertain and the movement
of prices was not uniform. The pre-
dominant movement, while it failed to
embrace the whole list, itself changed a
number of times du1n the day The
failure of the conference committees of
the Anthracite miners and operators to
agree upon terms on Saturday was a
disappointment and the tone of the
comment of the parties to the confer
ence created disagreeable impression.
The result was free selling of Reading
in the opening dealings, which affected
the whole market. This weakness was
overcome by strong advances in some OF
the high priced coalers. The part play
ed in the market by the high priced
stocks, of which the floating supply is
very small, was notable and their wide
movements resulted from light volume
of transactions AS the upward flight
of Delaware and Hudson and of New
Jersey Central rallied the Readings, sc

Chicago, April 2S.-It was bad weather

Even though reports indicated diminish

COTTON.
New York April 2S.-The cotton mark
ct opened steady with present crop
months IL to IA points higher and new
crop months to 10 points higher, in
response to strong Liverpool cables and
very bullish information from domestic
cotton centers. Shorts and commission
houses were large buyers at the higher
prices, while Europe, the South and the
West bid eagerly for liberal blocks of
July and August cotton. The English
market was due to come about 1 point
higher to be in keeping with Saturday.

of the opening in New York was net
to Az points higher. Spot cotton was
up another 132 to 11-32d; for American
middling. Port receipts were very light
compared with those of a year ago,
Southern spot markets were described as
strong and lis to Il higher on active
demand from exporters as well as from
domestic spinners. Crop reports reflect
ed general decrease in acreage, a
smaller use of fertilizers this year than
last and delay of about two weeks in
the season. Rumors that cotton goods
prices were higher and that dry goods
markets here and abroad were firmer,
helped to strengthen bull confidence
early in the day. Though profit taking
around $50 for July for a time had the
market in check, the whole list stiffened
up in the late session to the basis of 964
for July, and to $40 for August on a
fresh scare of shorts and brisk new
buying. Trading was active all day
with the close very steady at a net ad
vance of II to 20 points.
