WEATHER WAS FAVORABLE

New York, July 1s,--The cotton market
opened steady at unchanged prices to an
advance of points under cables better
than expected and moderate covering by
room shorts. The weather was generally
considered favorable, however, and there
was a lack of bull support SO that after
an interval Of steadlness during which
the active options we're sold up to level
net to points higher, the market turn
ed slightly easier under realizing, prices
going back to about last nights level.
There was little feature to the early trad
ing and operations seemed to be moro OF
an evening-up character than to repre-

suggestive of Mansfield, differing
chiefly in the fact that Willard SEEM
ed to have the full sympathy of the
house. His speech was greeted with
enthusiastic applause. The offense was
committed by occupants of one of the
stage boxes, people, as it happened,
quite prominent in Washington socie-
ty and who are supposed to be we'll
bred. Mr.. Wizards leading lady SEEM
ed to provoke their amusement, and
they made no apparent effort to sup
press their laughter; and even guyed
her in stage whispers.
Mr.. Willard stood 1t as long as he
could, but, finally, stepping to a table
in the center of the stage and rapping
his knuckles upon it, Il really must re-
quest, said he, that the ladies and
gentlemen who are whispering and
laughing be more quiet. 1t is very dis
tracing. l can bear a good deal, and
l have borne this now with some pa
uence. But there is a limit. Either
the annoyance must stop or the cur
tain must be rung down." After a
round of applause he resumed :-"Ah,

SHAW ON THE NEW
YORK CUSTOMS CHANGES
Secretary Declares the Removals Were
Not Due to Politics.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March .
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw this
afternoon denied the report that certain
removals in the customs service at the
port of New York were made for polit-
fcal reasons. He said that the remoV-
ais were for the good OF the service
and as a business proposition He had
not been consulted with reference to
judicial appointments in the state of
New York and was certain that the
department of justice had not been
consulted with reference to appoint
ments In the customs service. The
changes at the port, he said. were not
made at the instance of the senator's
of New York, though with their ac-
QuieSence and upon the recommends
ton of the collector and the apprai
ser.
The secretary said there was noth-
ing sensational in connection with the
removals, but that the government lost
more money through inefficiency than
1T did through the actual fraud of GUS
toms officials. The changes We're in
the interest of more efficient service
after consultation with the appraiser
and after personal examination and
visits at the public stores. He said
the removals had nothing to do with
the silk frauds and would have no ef-
feet upon prosecutions now in the
hands of w. Wickham Smith, special
district attorney in charge of the cases.
He said there were $500 persons con-
nected with his department and that
private business of that extent and i'm
portance would have removals every
day. He thought there was more dam
ger of inefficient men being retained
for political reasons than of efficient
men being discharged for such rea-
sons.

Tremendous Struggle to Obtain Tickets

ROME, March 2.-The struggle to
obtain tickets for tomorrow ceremony
at the Vatican, on the occasion of the
twenty fifth anniversary Of the coro-

American college had over 500 appli-
cations for tickets and he had less
than 200 at his disposal.

CHICAGO, March 2.-Large shippers
of all Western lines are being given to
understand that from now on no fa-
vors of any kind can be accorded them
under the provision of the Ell1ins law.
For more than a week the vice presi-
dents of Western roads have been
closeted with the shippers who in the
past have been granted special prefer
ences Of one kind or another. The vice
presidents so arranged that several big
shippers from various portions of their
lines We're seen each day and given a
heart to- heart talk on the Elkins law.
The conferences are still in progress
and Will not be completed by some of
the roads for a week. In many cases
the shippers were disposed to believe
that the furry would be only tempor-
airy, as it has been in the past, and
that they would be taken care Of as
usual.
In the strongest language possible
the traffic men have told them that
such is not the case, but that here
after every privilege, from that of free
storage TO a rebate, will be cut off
Furthermore, they have been informed
that if any attempt is made by them
TO secure a preference which the rail-
roads know to be a violation of the
Elkins law care will be taken to in
form the interstate commerce commits
sion of the fact. The conferences have
developed the fact that the in1unctions
of the United States courts have not
been powerful enough to prevent the
granting of all rebates.
