Alabama Senator Introduced Two
Resolutions.

Alabama Senator Introduced Two
Resolutions.
Washington, Dec. 1.-Senator Nor
gan to-day introduced resolutions au-
thorizing the Committee on Inter-
oceanic Canals to investigate the part
alleged to have been taken by the
trans-continental railroads in the 18TH
milan canal matter, and also to inquire
into the plans of the Interoceanic Ca
nal Commission.
The preamble to Senator Morgan's
nrst resolution called attention to as
sertlons in public journals, represent
ing public opinion and exercising lead
ing influence in the great political par
Ties OF the United States" that trans
continental railroad companies have
opposed the public policy and laws of
the United States in respect to the rat
lncatlon of the Hay-Herran treaty. 1t
declared that the railroads are OBJ
structlng the full and complete eXecu-
tlon OF the duty and the policy of the
United States as declared in the act of
Congress, approved Jan. rs, 1902, pro-
Vldlng for the construction of a canal
connecting the waters of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans.
The resolution provides that the
committee on Pacific Railroads is au-
thorized and required to make careful
inquiry into the facts on which such
charges are made, and report the tes-
timony and the findings of the COM
mittee of the Senate.
The second resolution introduced by
senator Morgan provides for reference
TO the Committee on Interoceanic
Canals the plans for government of
the canal adopted by the Interoceanic
Canal Commission, and for a review
OF the accounts and plans of the COM
mission. 1t asks the committee to
decide between the plans for a canal,
submitted in reference to both the
Panama and Nicaragua routes, to
decide whether further surveys of
either route are necessary, and to re-
port whether any expenditures have
been made by the Isthmian Canal Com
mission since its final report, and by
whose direction.

WAS C0TTON'S DAY.
Bullfsh Influences Kept the Prices
UD Well.


New York, Dec. 1.-Still greater ex-
element and activity marked the open
ing of to-day's cotton market. First
prices showed an advance of II to 10
points. with December selling at 11.5Sc;
January, 11.65c; March, 11.76c; May,
11.75c, and July, 11.73c. There were
sensationally high cables, less favor
able weather, bullish accounts from
spot markets and increased confidence
that the census bureau report to-mor-
row, showing the amount of cotton
ginned to Nov. IA, and estimating the
amount remaining to be ginned, will
make very bullish showing.
Private adviCeS from Liverpool in
dicated that large short interests were
covering there and the buying here
seems to come largely from Wall street
shorts, although there was also a per-
feet flow of orders from outside sources.
Naturally the bulls took profits heavi-
ly at the advance, but their offerings
were absorbed with amazing prompt
ness. After sagging back a point or
two, a fresh influx of outside buying
orders, the execution of stop loss or
ders and continued covering, started
prices upward again, with the market
inside of the first half hour net II to
% points higher March, which SEEM
ed especially strong, was selling around
11S0c.
All through the session the market
continued active, and while there were
brief reactionary intervals, owing to
realizing, generally speaking prices
ruled very firm on a continuation of
covering and further bull support. Buy
ing orders were received from New
Orleans.
Fluctuations became very irregular,
the market at the close being steady.
16 to 26 points net higher. Sales were
estimated at 100000 bales.

CHARGES PRINCE WITH
STORY OF SHAME,
Princess Alice Indignant Because of
Publications.

Publications.
Berlin, Dec. 1.-The divorce proceed
ings of Princess Alice of Schoenburg-
Waldenburg against her husband.
Prince Frederick, began at Dresden
yesterday.
The Princess returned from Sori, near
Genoa, in an aggressive state of mind.
She openly declared the Prince was
responsible for the shameful charges
made against her, and said her hus-
band was seeking revenge because she
refused to continue ito pay his debts.
The Princess will begin soon pro-
ceedings for calumny, saying that the
newspaper stories of her elopement with
coachman are traceable directly to
Prince Frederick.
The divorce proceedings were to-day
postponed for several weeks. Princess
Alice has taken quarters at Birna, near
Dresden, where she will soon be joined
by her brother, Prince Jaime of Bour-
bon, who will testify at the next sit
ting of the court. The plea of the
Princess for a divorce is based upon
charges of bodily injury, and upon the
forcible deprivation of her liberty.
It is reported in Dresden that the
Princess speaks in terms of the great
est contempt of Prince Frederick. 1t
is alleged she was often compelled to
lock him in his room in order to pre-
vent him from contracting new debts
which she would have to pay.
The Prince and Princess were mar
ried by the present Pope while he
was patriarch of Venice, and the
Princess expects that the Pope will
grant dissolution of the marriage.
Friends Of the Princess say that she
was strongly opposed to her marriage
with the Prince, but that she was per-
suaded by churchmen to accept Fred
erick in order to restore to the Ro-
man Church a member of a celebrated
German family
