The Liverpool cables were again sensa-
tionally strong. A decline of from to

ing l to 2 points lower. the market there
advanced before the opening of the local
market to a level net 51a to IL points higher.
with spot cotton once more reported i'm
good demand at an advance of II points.
Private cables attributed the gains to bull
support.
The easier tendency noted at midday was
of short duration. and was followed by one
of the most sensational upturns of the sea-
son. July was forced up to 11.26 or 55
points over the close of Saturday, with the
other old crop months showing advances of
from 45 to 81. The advance was under a
fresh scare of shorts and the aggressive
tactics of the New Orleans bull leader.
New Orleans buying orders were in EVIL
dence at the advance and sellers on the
break toward the close of last week were
forced to cover in the excitement of today.

PETITION FILED.
August Peterson and Others AIlege
Violation Of Smoke Law.

August Peterson Of 1881 Chaplin street
northwest, with some thirty other resi-
dents of that vicinity, has forwarded to
the Commissioners a petition asking that
the smoke nuisance be abated in two apart
ment houses. the Chaplin and the Berkshire,
both located on Chaplin street. During the
last few months. the petition states. the
smoke has been emitted from the chin
neys of these buildings in an intolerable
amount It sets forth that the residents
on Chaplin and adjoining streets have
patiently endured the nuisance during the
coal famine but that now, since that I'M
fortunate condition of affairs is at an end,
the residents see no reasonable excuse for
the continuance of the nuisance.
Mr.. Peterson in a letter accompanying
the petition acknowledged the receipt of
letter from the Commissioners informing
him that Mr.. McDermott, manager of the
Chaplin fiat, had been served with a war
rant to appear in Police Court to answer
the charge of violating the anti-smoke
law. 1.-THE case came up" says Mr. Peter
son, but Mr.. McDermott did not appear
except by his attorney, who forfeited col
lateral, as was expected. Unless vigorous
steps are taken by the authorities there
will be no relief. The nuisance has con-
tinued undated since the warrant was
issued"

CALLED AT DEPARTMENT.
Committee Satisfied With Statement of
Secretary of War.


The committee appointed at the meeting
at Col. Blount's home last night in regard
to the preservation of the wall of Ma
Mia, consisting of Mr.. George Ken
nan, Hr. Henry F. Blount, Mr. Mar
Gus Benjamin, Mrs. Mary S. Lock-
wood and Miss Elizabeth B. Johnson. waited
on Secretary Root at the War Department
this morning in regard to the subject. The
Secretary explained that only small sec
ton of the wall would be removed in MAX
ing the projected improvements, and that
none Of the historical monuments would
be interfered with. The committee ap-
peared to be satisfied with the Secretary's
statement.
What is being done to the wall Is shown
in the following extract from cablegram
from Governor Taft, May ID, 1903:
1.-THE part of the wall to be taken down
under the act of the Philippine commission
runs along the Pasig river from Santo
Domingo gate up to Fort Santiago 1t OBJ
structs the use Of that side of the river for
wharf purposes in the crowded condition
of the river. Such additional wharf facili-
ties imperatively needed. The act urged
and highly approved by the commercial
bodies, shipping interests and advisory
board of Manila. The act is approved by
Gen. Geo. w. Davis 1t Is the part of the
wall least picturesque. least conspicuous
and most obstructive of commerce.

BLocKADINa A SEWER.
Harbormaster Submits Report on
Canal at Foot Of 18th Street.

Harbormaster J. R. Sutton, has submitted
report to the Commissioners relative to
the blockaded condition of the canal at the
sewer opening foot of 18th street northwest
he says that although there is no Law I'M
DER which floating scows can be compelled
TO move, ten scows were removed by the
owners at his request. Two sunken seows
have been removed in accordance with law.
commodore Sutton says one of the chief
instructions to the canal is caused by the
overhangtng limbs of trees. These branches
droop into the water and obstruct the free
now OF the sewerage. This Is especially
the case at a time Of high water when the
branches are submerged to a greater ex-
tent.
In addition to this" he says, "the sewer
canal, not being walled up is shallow, with
shores sloping of. gradually on each side
In this space the sewerage lies exposed to
the heated rays OF the sun, and as a re-
suit noxious odors quickly arise and are
carried by the wind to all the adjacent
territory. Knowing that the canal is the
property Of the United States hesitate to
make any recommendation regarding the
proper remedy to be applied, but venture
10 suggest that correspondence be entered
into with the proper officials with the view
OIL having this sewer canal either arched
over or walled up. Should this be accom-
plfshed the conditions complained of could
no longer exist"

The Postmaster Generals Statement
Regarding the Tulloch Charges.

Postmaster General Payne has been suf
fering for the past twenty-four hours with
a. severe attack of indigestion. He has
been during this time under the doctors
care and has given very little time to de-
detrimental matters, including the ever
present post Office investigation. Mr.. Payne
reached the Office from his hotel shortly be-
fore 3 o'clock this afternoon He had been
at his desk but few minutes during the
morning.
1.-The Tulloch statement will be thorough
" dissected." he remarked to a Star re-
porter. IF I can get to the matter this
afternoon I shall do so. / shall go through
the statement and dictate to the various
officers of the department such part of the
Tulloch statement might properly be
referred to them for investigation. In this
way the whole statement will be the SUBJ
ject of immediate inquiry by the proper
official"
Mr.. Payne said he had no comment what
ever to make TO Mr.. Tulloch's course in
making his statement public. s,He had not
given the matter any thought since his re-
marks to the press Saturday, owing to the
severe attack of indigestion. He has been
subject to such attacks in the past. and be-
sides being very painful and enervating
they are sometimes so severe as to render
him unconscious for a time. Mr. Payne
said the present trouble was about over,
he believed, and he should endeavor to go
on with the affairs or his ONCE.
Fourth Assistant Bristow said there had
been no suspensions. removals or resigna-
tons In the Post Office Department today,
but further than this he had no informa-
ton whatever to give. There had been no
conference between himself and the Post
master General since Saturday.
The announcements of appointments in
the rural free delivery service today con-
tanned the name of Martin X. Fosnes, who
was appointed carrier of free delivery
route at Montevideo, MINI. The appointee
is said to be relative of Mr.. Fosnes, who
was recently detailed at the head of the
rural free delivery service In the place of
Superintendent Machen, who is on leave
of absence pending the investigation into
his administration.
Mr.. r. j. Tracewell. controller of the
treasury, said today that he had nothing
to say as TO the complete charges of Mr.,
Tulloch regarding post Office affairs. Mr..
Tracewell remarked that he had already
made public the facts in the case. and that
IL he saw fit he would make a statement
later. He stated that in one instance AIR.
Tulloch had seriously mispresented a mat
ter. The charges of Mr.. Tulloch, he point
ed out. We're no stronger than those here
tofore made.
