COTTON MARKET

BEARS GOT THE UPPER HAND

New York, September 25.-The cotton market, influenced by steady cables and covering, opened steady, 12 points higher to 1 point lower. but almost immediately turned easier under further liquidation and bear pressure, directed principally against October and which carried the general list downward until soon after the opening, a level net 8 to points be- low yesterdays finals being reached. On this basis there was some realizing by shorts and buying on the reaction theory The market rallied very slowly, however and after showing an advance of to F points all around, broke again, reaching a new low level for the session under active bear pressure and renewal of the tremendous liquidation which has been now going on for the last several days. Under the influence of this, Sep- tember sold down to 10S0; october to 9.33 December to 9.S4 and January 9.35, this being the first time this season that a near month has sold below the quotations for a more distant option. The general list at the lowest showed net losses of 3 to 2S points. Just before the close there was a rally on all positions except September, on covering and the market was finally steady, net Ito points lower generally, while September showed net loss of 26 points. Sales were estimated at SOO,0OO bales. The declines were encour- aged by the favorable weather reported over the belt. aside from continued low temperatures in certain sections, which. however. are not attracting much atten- tion and full estimates for tomorrows re- ceipts in connection with the declining ten- dency of the southern spot markets.

CALL UPON MORE REPUBLICANS
Witnesses Subpoenead by Butler
to Show Party Differences.

Testimony in the Wagoner-Butler election
contest to-day will be given mostly by Re-
publican politicians, who have been sub
poenaed by Mr.. Butler to show the condi-
tions that existed In the Republican party
prior and up to the election. Many Repub-
licans have already testified along this line.
One Of the principal witnesses who has
notified the counsel for the contestee that
he would be on hand, Is John B. Owens,
former member Of the Republican City Cen
tral Committee. and for whom the con-
testee's counsel have been searching for
have been subpoenaed and are expected to
appear any day, are Theodore Kalbfeld, r.
c. Kerens, Charles Claudius and Hiram
Lloyd.

missioners' Office before Notary Nolan by
Attorney T. NJ. Rogers for Mr.. Butler. will.
II is thought, be completed by noon to-day.
The contestee's twenty days are UP next
Tuesday at midnight, and an effort will be
made to examine nearly 200 witnesses In the
poenaes having been issued this week.
Up TO yesterday the number Of witnesses
already examined In behalf Of Congressman
Butler Is something more than 400, and that
number Is expected to be increased to about
600 before the time limit expires. The num-
ber Of witnesses examined by Wagner was
less than ninety.
Only six witnesses were placed upon the
stand yesterday, a large number Of those
subpoenaed failing to show up. while others
were excused until to-day, on account OF
much time being taken up yesterday in
certifying te transcripts. Those who testi-
fied yesterday were nearly all Republicans
who served as officials at the last election,
each one testifying that the election was
fairly and honestly conducted.

SECOND DEATH MAY RESULT
FROM EAST ST. LOUIS DUEL
Critical Condition of City Clerk
CIeary Causes POstponement
of Arrest.

Matthew Cleary, City Clerk of East st.
Louis. who shot and killed Richard Buck
ley in a pistol duel in front of his saloon
on Broadway, and was himself seriously
wounded Thursday night. will not be placed
under arrest unless it is determined by the
Coroner's inquest to-day that the tragedy
was not provoked by Buckley, which claim
is made by Cleary's friends.
No statement has been made by Cleary
since the shooting, and none was made by
Buckley before he died, at o'clock yester-
day morning. The stories of the affair as
told by witnesses agree with the statement
published in The Republic yesterday that
Buckley began shooting first.
Trouble had existed between the men for
some time, as result of an alteration be-
tween friends of Cleary and Buckley, which
occurred on the Missouri side and in which
Buckley is said to have suffered serious
beating. 1t Is believed that he called on
Cleary Thursday night to settle this score,
as it was the first meeting of the two.
Four physicians are In attendance upon
Cleary, and they announced last night that
Cleary's condition was extremely critical
Hemorrhages have followed efforts to
stanch the wound, and these are regarded
with alarm.
C1eary is still at his home and refuses TO
be removed to the hospital.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR COAL
SH0RTAGET0 BE SETTLED.
Much Time Before Strike Commission
Is Consumed in Discussing This
Debated Point.

Philadelphia. Pa. Jan. 22-The question
of who is responsible for the apparent
shortage in the supply Of anthracite coal
was the subject of considerable debate to-
day by the attorneys representing the par
ties before the Strike Commission.
1t was testified that the miners were not
obeying President Mitchells request to
make extra efforts TO produce more coal
to relieve the situation.
This was followed up by James H. Torrey
and Everett Warren. both of Scranton. who
represent several of the large companies,
challenging the correctness of Mr.. Mitchell s
statement that 5000 men are idle and are
ready to so to work.
c. S. Darrow. for the miners. replied that
and not the men. who were responsible for
the shortage in the production.
If 1 don't" he said, II Will ask the COM
mission to find againstsus."
The Lehigh Valley Coal Company closed
its case to-day, and the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Company consumed a few hours in
presenting its evidence.
This company closed shortly before ad-
journment. and the independent operators
of the upper region then took UP the oper-
.ators' side of the controversy. 1t is ex-
pected that these hearings Will last ten
more days
The commission informed the attorneys
for both sides this afternoon that 1t would
like to have them confine their final ar
guments to about four or five days. The
lawyers will agree among themselves as to
the division of time. The miners want half
the time allowed by the commission.

in st. Louis.
DEAL WITH TERMINAL COMPANY
Recommendation of the Official
Will Determine Action of the
Government on Securing
Temporary Quarters.

Robert Wynne First Assistant Post
master General, who is to inspect the prop
erty recommended by the joint committee
of the Business Mems League and the Mer-
chants League for the new Post Office an
mex, arrived last night at S o'clock. and
was met at Union Station by representa-
tives of the Guilty Conscience Club. an or
ganization composed OF newspaper men.
An informal banquet had been arranged
at the Mercantile Club and Mr.. wynne was
driven directly there. Several members Of
the committee which laid the matter of the
annex before the Post Office Department.
were present, ard the project was informal
ly discussed.
The Assistant Postmaster General will In
spect the property this morning at 10
o'clock. He will be accompanied by Post
master Baumhofr and representatives Of the
Business Mems League. the Merchants
League and the Terminal Railroad Associa-
ton.
WILL FIN AMOUNT OF RENT.
Mr. Wynne said last night that his mis-
sion was to determine the amount the de-
partment could afford to pay for the rental
of the temporary annex pending the erec-
ton of a permanent building, which has
been authorized by Congress.
81 understand" he said, that the Ter
minal Company has offered to erect a build
ing 60x203 feet on the east side of the rail-
road tracks. This will connect with the
new subway and will be part Of the perma-
nent building.
1T now remains to be seen what the Ter
minal people will ask Us to pay for this i'm
provement. I have my figure and suppose
they have decided upon theirs II a COM
promise can be effected the lease will be
signed shortly after / return to Washing

NOTHING TO DO But SPEND MONEY.
That matter comes under the Post
master General. My business is simply to

In speaking of the ST. Louis Post Office.
Mr.. Wynne said that from reports submit
ted by inspectors he thought it was the
most complete and efficient in the country.

REPT.BLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Jan. 22.-'I shall keep the
statehood bill the continuous business be-
fore the Senate until a vote is taken or an
agreement To vote is made."--Senator Quay.
The statehood bill will not pass before
the adjournment Of the present Congress"
Senator Beveridse.
Meanwhile the deadlock OF all business
before the United States Senate continues
complete except for a few minor matters
which are allowed to pass by grace of the
Senator from Pennsylvania.
He has demonstrated that he has the
votes behind him to continue this deadlock
up TO adjournment, and to-day there was
10 change in the situation. No attempt
was made even 10 get consideration for the
cuban reciprocity treaty, which must be
ratified before January 81, and which is.
consequently. in great danger of failure in
company with all other important matters
of legislation.
VETERANS DIRECT FIGHT
The hold-up of this legislation a matter
of great consequence to the whpie coun-
try. is OF course. the chief feature of the
situation in the Senate. But incidental to
il, is q tremendous contest between Senator
Quay. backed by Senators Foraker and Ell
kins and thirteen other Republicans aided
by the entire Democratic minority On one
side, and, on the other. the powerful COM
bination of Republican Senator's. which
usually dictates all matters of legislation
in Congress, Senators Aldrich, Allison.
Hale. Hanna and Spooner.
Senator Beveridge is leading the fight
against the omnibus statehood bill on the
floor, but the veteran leaders are directing
the contest from behind the scenes. SEN
ator Hanna is said to be very much in
earnest in this matter, and is now said to
be planning the campaign in its various
stages.
Senator Quay insists that the opposition
to statehood constitutes the real obstruc-
tion TO legislation. and he points to his ef-
forts to get an agreement to vote on jan
uary "A and subsequent dates all of which
were unsuccessful. as a proof that he is in
earnest in his fight for the bill, and not
attempting to hold up important measures.
On the other hand, tine Senate leaders in
sist that it is Senator Quay who is really
responsible for the deadlock, inasmuch as
he refuses to allow important legislation
to be considered.
DEEPLY LAID PLOT
in the meantime, there are those who
penetrate the statehood disguise and see a
deep plot on both sides to make 1t i'm
possible to pass certain bills without rec
ord vote. They say that the astute leaders
of the Senate would not allow themselves
