New orl,ann COTTON Marka..

New Orleans, March 23.-In the spot
cotton market a fair demand was in evil
dence but factors held to top prices and
thereby checked the movement to some
extent. The sales were ECO bales, includ-
ing 200 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
The decline in futures at Liverpool had a
depressing effect on the local market,
which opened with prices 2 to 8 points be-

9.S2; July lost points to 9.S5, sold up to

New York, March 23.-Values in dry
goods are maintained but the market is
growing quieter each day Manufacturers
are not willing to give way In their ideas
regarding values and as declared at the
present figures, there Is little profit on
their product AS long as cotton con-
tinues at or near its present level, the
prospects of firm prices is good.

matured is now in operation and will
not end until the farmers have become
social, economic and political vassals as
helpless as the 'moujiks of Russia. The
lumbernien aim at so belittling the dis
tress OF the people of the north in the
eyes of the world that relief will be
stopped. Then they will force the
starving people to sell their land at
famine prices. The continued inde-
pendence of these farmers is a political
necessity demanded alike in the name
of patriotism and charity. We purpose
exposing this conspiracy when the fam
inc is over and will ask the government
to curtail the power of these robber for
esters, altho their influence In leglsla-
tive quarters is almost unassailable.
In the course of conversations with
different Representatives of the chief
lumber corporations it was ascertained
that these bodies We're of the opinion
that the famine reports We're fables.
The representatives of the forest bar
.ons were unanimous in stating that
the relief movement was unnecessary.
They added that the promoters had
good hearts, but impractical heads.

YEARNs FOR A QUIET HUNT.
President Desires Chase After Gam

President Desires Chase After Game
Without Newspaper Notoriety.
Washington, Jan. 29.-The following
appeared in the Washington Star to-
day 1t is believed to be inspired:
president Roosevelt does not expect
the pleasure OF any hunting this year
1t is a great disappointment to him, but
he is getting tired of hunting with red
fire Accompaniment and vivid news
paper stories. Those who know him
realize that his is the true spirit of the
hunter The thrilling ride or dash after
the game, the quick shot in the solitude
Of the woods, and communion with ma
ture as exemplified in the trees, in the
poises of the birds and the animals. and
otherwise in the forests, are what he
longs for.
HE sees no way of getting 1t, how
ever, because of the persistence with
which he is followed by newspaper
men, and he does not want to play to
the galleries. 1t is absurd to him, and
While his whole nature yearns for a few
weeks of complete disappearance from
public affairs. public men, AMI the
newspapers, he has not heen able to
evolve any plan that will secure him
just what he wants.
ut has been suggested to him that
Secretary Cortelyou communicate With
the three press associations of the
country and with all the leading news
papers and ascertain If they will not
agree to call their correspondents off
the trail of the president long enough
Ito let him disappear into the Yellow
stone park with a few close friends and
there enjoy himself as he did years ago.
Ibefore he became president.
Something of the kind finally may be
| done, but there is no one to make
promises for the host of smaller news
lpapsrs and for independent newspaper
/ and magazine writers who would follow
4 dose after the president and necessi-
tate the maintenance CT a guard to pre-
vent access to him. The president does
not want to do this. 1t would look too
much like monarchy Tor his democratic
/ nature. And yet there is a longing il
his whole makeup to get one NOR,

members of which SO completely eyadet

BATTLE WITH THIEVES
Daring Robbery Of the Postofiee at
Dayton-safe Dynamited and Interior
of Building Observation-Disclosures
Open Fire on Towr Marshal When
piscovered-They Escape.

Special to Times Republican.
Dayton, Jan. 29.-Great excitement
was caused here at an early hour this
morning by daring and successful at
tempt to burglarize the postofiice build
ing. The robbers were discovered at
their work by the town marshal, who
hastily aroused the landlord of the ho-
tel and the two sailed forth to capture
the robbers. Arriving at the postomce
they commanded the burglars TO halt
ana The latter yepliel with shots from
a revolver. The marshal and landlord
returned the fire and after an exchange
of several Bullets. none of which took
effect, the burglars get away to safety.
The postoffice safe had been dyna-
mited and was a complete wreck and
the interior of the building was badly
demolished. The robbers got about $aO
II, money and a quantity OF stamps,
all told about 500.
Suspicion points toward two strang-
sers who have been hanging around
town for a few days, but who disap-
neared Yesterday.

HEADS i WIN, TAILS YOU LOSE.
.rupper Believes Canada Will Lose the
Alaska Boundary Fight.

Vancouver, B. c.. Jan. 29.-Sir
Charles Herbert Tupper. speaking OF
the proposed commission to settle the
boundary question, said it simply meaEt
that the United States was to euchre
Canada out of her rights. He said fur
ther that England would never fight the
United States for one inch Of Canadian
territory. The United States knew this
and was sure of her ground when she
arbitrated with Great Britain over Ca
madam rights. Where Canada is con-
cerned in an arbitration Englishmen
are disposed to lean toward the United
States on the ground of justice. the
merits OF the case and strict imparE AL
tty. They are careful as to the legal
phase OF the question.
On the other hand, American jurists
on an arbitration commission never
swerve a hairs breadth on any grounds
If the English jurists favor the Amer
leans. Canada loses, for. according to
legal procedure, the case falls TO the
ground which leaves the Americans in
possession of the disputed territory
The United States will say: Canada
could not prove it's case and we nave
The territory" So the United States
Will doubtless win in any event.
