NEAR ARlDAL VEIL FALLS,

- California Grove @-.. =

President Roosevelt in a Beautiful
California Grove. ~s
Yosemite CAL, May 18.-President
Roosevelt, John Muir and Rangers
Leidig and Leonard are encamped in
the Bridal Veil near the banks of the
Merced. In a grove of pines and frs
almost within the spray of. the beauti-
ful Bridal Veil falls, the chief execu-
tive is resting after one of the most
memorable days of his life..
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
party arrived from Bridal Veil falls
at the Happy Thistles.
The party had been lowering above
the Yosemite since early morning,
first at the height Of Glacier Point,
then at Panorama Wall near the New
falls and later at the Nevada and
Vernal falls, yet this was their first
entrance to the floor of the valley.
There were but few there to meet him.
because his point of entrance was not
known to anyone, not even the men,
bers of his party. He spoke kindly
to those there and then came down the
valley via Camp Curry and to the
Sentinel hotel. "a -
The party was greeted by President
Wheeler and others at the Sentinel
hotel.
The president alighted and for few
minutes he spoke pleasantly to a few
members of his party.
I'VE were in a snow storm last
night and it was just what wanted" I"
said he smilingly. The president was
dressed in a khaki suit, army hat and
around his hat was a dusty looking
Handkerchief, much the worse for
wear

Proposal Of America to Open Manehu-

Peking, May 19.-China, in reply to
further representations Of the United
States and Japanese ministers. has
again pointed out the ,tmpQssibility Of
including in the commercial treaties
the opening to trade Of Manchdrian
towns on account OF Russian !opposi'
ton. ):
G. G. Baldwin of New York, rep
resentatlve of the Southern cotton
mills, who has investigated the trade
conditions in Manchuria, reports that
the American cotton trade was in
creasing enormously until recently,
when the Russians began to exert
pressure upon the Chinese amounting
to coercion. securing orders for Rus
sian firms amounting to 800, 900 bales
of goods, which otherwise would have
gone to America. Mr.. Baldwin says
the foreign firms complain bitterly of
the difhculty of conducting business
under the Russian administration and
be believes that unless Russian alb
sorptfou of Manchuria is checked the
United States will be deprived of a
most promising market for cotto1s
within 4 few years.

hour. When he emerged from tn.
juryroom tears were streaming down
his cheeks. With his face buried in

The robbery occurred at the Berkeley

New York. June 27-What is gen
orally believed to be the largest indi-
Vidual transaction in the history of
cotton dealing in this country took
place on the exchange Friday.
There were issued notices to the
extent of 10000 or 100000 bales, the
transfer being made on a basis of 13
cents a pound.
The receiver OF the cotton will be
compelled to pay before the first of
the month SOS for each bale Of cotton,
CIR a total of $6,5000OO While the
cotton was delivered to three or four
different houses prominent in the cot
ten market, these concern were sim
ply agents in the transaction, the
man behind the deal being w. p.
Brown, Of New Orleans.
The stock Of cotton in New York,
according to the running count, is
the entire stock of cotton at port and
interior towns in this country.
A larger stock has been accumulat-
ed in this city than is usually the
case, and has been brought here most
ly by a large firm of exporters in
order to be basis of protection
against their commitments in the flu
ture market. While 100000 bales out
of the 164 900 has been delivered thus
far, it is generally believed that prac-
tically the entire stock will be passed
over to MIR Brown and taken by him.
This will call for about 100000 900
in cash, and in addition to the cotton
taken in New York the New Or
leans stock Of $4,000 bales is con-
trolled by the same interest. This 50,-
900 bales calls for $3,5OO,O00 more,
and by the end of another week the
trade estimates that Mr.. Brown and
his associates will control 100000
bales of the total stock of SOC, 900 bales
in this country.

Bought The Santea Blacks Ena
Taught Them Contempt for Law
end Order.

Wilmington, Del, June 27.-Gen.
James II. Wilson, Z. s. a., former
governor OF Mantanzas, Cuba, captol
of Jefferson Davis. and one of the
leading citizens Of Delaware, in an in
tervieW today, said the present criti-
cal condition between the races here
is due to political corTu3;on.
Our city is in perilous moment. .
he said, "and cur entire state in i'm
mineot danger as result of the
Grimes, lynching and mcbs Of both
coored and white races that have
had possession of our streets every
night fer week The truth Of the
entire trouble lies in the laWless poll
tical elements in the city. Addicks
has so debauched the colored
citizens, has taught them such con-
tempt for law and order. that 1t is
not to be wondered at if we now must
reap the harvest.
The blacks have been made to be-
lieye they will be protected in any
Addicks vote buyers how law can be
evaded and justice trampled under
foot. Such a course of corruption as
they have been given must bear fruit.
Nothing else could explain the brazen
action of that colored mob that parad
>ed the streets last night, ordering
white men from the sidewalks.
Another demonstration such as
that of last night, when three men
were shot, will have more terrible
termination. The authorities have
appeared woefully weak. Not one Of
ficial has taken a stand for law and
order.
81 can't tell if the trouble is over
or that it is the beginning, but the
blacks better be careful.
"I agree with Wistar, that the op-
portunity for the trouble comes from
the steady immigration of bad blacks
from the south. But over, beyond,
beneath it all is political corruption.
The blacks are made to feel impor'
tant and powerful For the sake OF
their votes they are promised support
in violation of the law.
"The lynching of White was
crime against the law that the au-
should have power to pun
ish. No one can condemn the mans
crime more severely than myself. I
was in hopes the court would try him
quickly. An exhibition OF 1t would
settle the trouble"
