N.,m orleans Market.

New Orleans, September 15.-The de-s mand for spot cotton was slack today, as buyers are moving cautiously and rather underbidding the market, but factors are not now inclined to make sacrifices, and as result the amount of business doing is very small. Most of the offerings at present consist of new crop cotton grad ing better than middling and except for an occasional trade in extra staples or benders, almost all handlings are of those qualities Sales 2S00 bales, including l05O to arrive Quotations unchanged.
 The~future market under the influence of unfavorable cables, which checked outside orders was very quiet at the op- ening. The professional, however, man. aged to support the market fairly well, and by free buying at and just after theopening sent prices up to points. The absence of country buying orders, however was severely felt by the long clement who had fully expected support from that quarter, and as soon as the first flush of enthusiasm had worked off prices began to drop. The market became dull and listless and in a short time had recorded a loss of to ' points from the highest forenoon level. Then there was a slight reaction and after a series of moderate fluctuations the market at the close showed net gains for the day of to points

COTTON MARKET
 FINALLY STEADY Closed at Net Advance of l to
 4 Points WEATHER OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Market Opened Firm and Gradually Worked Upward on Feverlsh De. mand From the Shorts and
 Some Room Buying.

New York, September 15.-The cotton market opened firm, with prices 1 point lower to points higher, and continued to work upward after the call on feverish demand from the shorts and some room buying. The commission houses were light buyers for a time, indicating in- creased attention on the part of the spec luative public. The chief cause for this demand was a report from northern Mis- sissippi that frost and ice had formed Sunday morning, with the weather this morning still unseasonably cold. Firm Liverpool cables and foreign buying or ders helped to strengthen local bull con- fidence.
 Before the better feeling subsided Janu- ary had advanced to S.45 with other op- lions up in proportion. The south sent pessimstic crop reports and was less eager to sell spot cotton. Later in the morning the market settled back to the final bids of Saturday under a Hull In outside support and some selling to se- cure profits by the scalping element Nevertheless. the tone remained steady, and later in the day the whole list worked upward again in brisk general buying, led by very nervous bears. The Vicks- burg weather station reported light frost in Lake and Yazoo City. Private tele- grams also give light frost and unfavor- able crop conditions.
 The weather forecast was reassuring, but for the most part was ignored, as were heavy receipts at the ports and in- terior towns. The market was finally steady and net 1 to points higher. Total sales were estimated at 100000 bales.

The Defense Ot Cu|eDIQ
This Island to Be the Scene of I'm
portant Operations During the
Winter Monnuvres- Strategists
Already Working on Plans for
3 the West Indian Operations.
(From The Evening Post)

(FrOm L ne Evening POSt)
The waters at the eastern end Of
Long Island are not just now the only
sphere of the naval strategist. While
the army and the navy are at it ham,
mer and tongs off the island shores, a
body of naval officers in Washington is
steadily at work planning the details
for the winter naval operations at Guile
bra island. The problems there pre-
|sented differ essentially from those now
being practically determined on the
New England coast. 1t is trne that
there will be search problem, such as
preceded the joint maneuvres now 90.
ling on, but in the West Indian waters
the chase will be on a much grander
scale, for probably the combined com.
mand, made up of the fleets from the
North Atlantic, the European, and the
South Atlantic Stations, will engage in
the pursuit of the flying foe.
But the most interesting and impor-
|tant feature of the work will be the
practical demonstration of certain theo-
|ries that have been envolved by the
Naval General Board, touching initial
operations in case of an outbreak of
hostilities in Southern waters.
Culebra Island lies on the extreme
edge of the farthest circle of defense
and it is regarded as the most feasible
base for the operations of United
States defensive fleet. The place is
not fortified as yet, and may not be
taken over by the army and fortified
for several years So the problem pre-
Esented is the rapid occupation and for
tlflcatlon of the island by the navy act
ing single-handed, on the theory that
the army, in the throes of organizations
Hcaunot meet the emergency.
The Dixie, the Panther, s.ild another
combined transport and cruiser will be
laden with all of the material and guns
needed for the island. They will be
kept in waiting at Norfolk navy-yard
ready for the word. That word may
come upon the departure from Europe
OF the European squadron, and the
effort will be made to reach Cu1ebra, to
land guns and marines and generally
place the island in condition to resist a
naval assault without the assistance of
a defensive fleet. If it is shown that
this plan will work, then it would ap-
pear that hostile fleet could not pass
Culebra into the Caribbean or Gulf
without incurring the danger of having
its communications cut by even small
United States fleet with submarines and
monitor or two, which could find safe
refuge in case of need in the defences
3f Culebra.
When this problem is worked out,
he fleets will be combined, and enter
1pon an extensive series Of squadron
md fleet drills and target-shooting, all
,f which will be closely watched by the
General Board, which will go to the
West Indies for that purpose.

Rev. Masada's Lecture.

The lecture of Rev. Tatsuji j. Mas
ada at the M. e. church last Thursday
night was interesting and instructive.
Many things he said of Japan were
new to most Of the au dience. He
asserted that the ia panese had a
written history of their country that
gave authen tic events for 1851 years
back, that sthe origin Of the ruling
race was obscure; that the aborigines
were savages and their few descend
ents are similar to their ancestors in
this regard. The language makes
use OF so letters with similar num-
Der of vowels as the English-but each
vowel has but two sounds, the long
and the short. They write vertically
lines running down instead OF from
left to right as with us. The English
language is taught in japanese schools
and he predicts that in generation or
two the people will make general use
of the English and discard the old
mother tongue. The area Of Japan is
1854, 500 square miles and the number
of inhabitants is 45,000,000. The
Japanese are the most progressive
Of all eastern peoples. They are aptly
styled, "The Yankees Of the Orient"

Sudden Death of E. c. Rollins.

The people Of this city are sorely
grieved by the sudden death OF Enoch
G.. Rollins, which occurred yesterday
morning, Feb. 26, of apoplexy. He
had not been in very good health for
several years past, but there had been
no pronounced intimations of ap-
preaching dissolution.
The deceased was born at Garland
Me-. 70 years ago the I'd of last Au-
gust. He caught the prevailing gold
fever with thousands OF others in '49
and followed the crowd to California,
going by way of the Isthmus. He re-
NAMED in this new FL Dorado but a
year, when he returned to Maine, but
during this period of absence from
home he had many exciting adven-
lures, the thrilling details OF which
he often recounted TO his intimate
friends.
He was married July 6, 1856, at
Fryeburg, Me-, to Miss Mary f. Os-
good, who survives him. Mr.. and
Mrs. Rollins came to Wisconsin in
1865, travelling by stage from Sparta
to Kinnickinnic where they bought a
farm and resided for 13 years. From
Kinnickinnic they moved to this city,
which had since been their home.
Mr.. Rollins had an interest in a
cattle ranch in Mont at one time
and spent one summer there in looking
after the property. He was street
com missioner of this city for num-
Der of years and performed the duties
Of the office with intelligence, consci-
entiousness and efficiency. He was a
man of tireless energy. He delighted
in labor and whatever he did was we'll
done. For several years past he had
not been engaged in work that taxed
his energies; what he did was for rec
reation or am usement.
Mr. and Mrs. Rollins had two chill
dren born to them, both Of which
died in infancy. One, daughter,
born in Maine, died at the age of IA
months, and son, DOrn in Kinnic-
kinnic, died when one year old.
Such men as Enoch Rollins consti-
tute 'the salt of the earth" in socie-
ty. 1t was his purpose to do right,
regardless of consequences. He new
er inten tionally did any man an inju-
ry. His charity comprehended ALL
He was one Of the most kindly of men
and consequently one Of the most
neighborly and helpful. He was a
good man in everything that COM
mands the admiration and the love Of
men.
Five sisters of Mr.. Rollins survive,
all of whom except one, Mrs. Smith
of Minneapolis, who arrived here to-
day, live in the east.
The funeral will be held from the
Congregational church, Of which he
had long been a consistent member,
tomorrow after noon at 200 o'clock,

Mr.. and Mrs. George Currier enter
tanned large company at cards on
the evening Of the 22d inst. A unique
feature of the evening was the select
ing Of partners for the game. Each
guest was given score cards in the
shape Of Ratchet, tied with national
colors. On the handle Of the gentle
mems hatchets were written the CIV
en- names Of the Presidents; on the
ladies' the maiden name Of their
wives. This created no end Of fun,
for it was soon discovered that some
of our great men had forgotten the
maiden names Of their wives, and as
for their wives, they could hardly tell
their husbands last names; but soon
George and Martha, John and his
wife, were seated at the first table,
and so ON down to the last, where
Grover and Teddy with their respect
ed better halves played opposites.
Then for time there was lively play
ing, when q bountiful lunch was serv-
ed, a conspicuous feature of which
was the napkins with the Stars and

Washington. The ''booby" prize, a

guests departed with happy "good
