any business, and it was not the gem

ROSIN-The rosin market was rather
active to-day. The opening was at con-

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 2O.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy with prices 2 to 3
points lower and continued to decline
later in the morning under active SELL
ing of long cotton and vigorous bear
pressure, all induced by weakness in
the liverpool market and by larger
receipts at the ports than looked for.
Inc bear element contended that the
bull movement was at an end and that
receipts will continue large from this
out. Yet it was seen that export clear
ances We're very large, several thousand
bales in excess of port receipts, thus
causing further reduction in port
stocks. Again, interior town stocks
had to make good a shortage of some
700 bales between receipts and ship
ments. The Southern spot markets
failed to reflect the slightest weakness.
May touched S.45 on the first down
turn and then followed an uneventful
course until the early afternoon when
shorts suddenly became frightened by
reports that export clearances would
continue to far overtop port receipts.
The market was found to be practically
bare of offerings and from S.46.' May
shot up to $3.50 in about as many min
utes as there We're points advance.
Profit taking by ring longs later caused
partial reaction. but at the close the
market was steady and net unchanged

she was rushed to Mangareva island.
There she was abandoned, as it was
believed she would be a total loss.
Captain Thayer bought the vessel of
the underwriters for less han $1,000
and went with Captain Porter, an old
whaler, with a wrecking outfit from
Papeete to Mangareva. There they
found the Pyrenees still upright on
the sand with the masts standing, and
about 1000 tons of grain in the lower
hold still intact, incoming water bav-
ing quenched the fire.
With nothing but their outfit with
which to work. with no lumber or me-
chanical assistance available, and with
only the crudest assistance from twen-
ty natives. they put the big ship in
fairly good condition and floated her
and subsequently sailed her 900 miles
to Papeete, making the trip in twelve
days and arriving IN April l..
The saving of the ship under the cir
cumstances is regarded by seafaring
men as a remarkable achievement. The
vessel is a fine new steel ship worth
at least 500, 200.

Lacking a real issue with which to
come before the people, the minority
seems to have revived that policy
which in the eos earned the party a
popular contempt that endured for a
quarter of a century, The years of the
civil war constitute an epoch of demo-
critic history not touched Upon by DEM
ocratic orators north of Mason and
Dixon's line. The policy Of obstruc-
ton and opposition, the open express
sion of sympathy with rebellion COM
mon to the minority of those days are
the shame of the younger democracy,
as the present policy Of the present mi
nority is certain to become the shame
of a future generation Of democrats.
There will no good come to the dem
pcracy at large thru the policy of its
congressman on the Philippine ques-
ton. 1t can scarcely hope for success
In a campaign against the army of the
United States when the entire nation
is proud Of the achievement of its army
and navy. The scurrility and evident
partisan animus of the assaults on the
administration have Disguised the
country and put the people or guard.
That there has been unnecessary cruel
ty in the conduct of the Philippine war
is possible, but not probable. That suf-
fering and death and even starvation
are concomitants of warfare every one
knows. The north has scarcely forgot
ten Andersonville, and the south re-
members Skerman's march to the sea
There are multitudes of American citi-
Gems who know from experience what
wal is like, and they are not asking for
the Moros more than was granted
to Americans when civil war set one
section against another.
