JEALOUSY PROMPTS A MURDER.

supposed to have been the result of
jealousy. Meckle was arrested with his
smoking revolver yet in his hands, be-
fore he left Mrs. .Rumberger's apart
ments by Officer Henry Bell who arriv-
ed almost Immediately on the scene.
Genkinger was then lying on a settee
and pointed out Merkle as the man
who shot him. Merkle fired -four shots,
only one Of which ook effect.
Immediately after the shooting Mrs.
Rumberger was examined by Mayor
Jackson and Coroner Porter and told
the story of the shooting. She said
Merkle was in her apartment when
Genkinger appeared and asked her for
a diamond pin he had lent her yester-
day. She and Merkle were discussing
their probable marriage and Mrs. Rum
berger says Genkinger remarked to
Merkle:
George, if you don't marry Eva,
after all she has one for you you are
a chump."
This seemed to anger Merkle who
started toward Genkinger, drawing his
revolver. Mrs. Rumberger says Ger
kinger then grasped an empty beer bot
tie and hurled it at Merkle, who was
struck in the face. Merkle then be-
gar to fire and Genkinger grappled to
save himself. The men fought for a
time, until loss of blood made Gerkin-

BAXTER q OO's. COrrON LETTER.

New York, March 1S.-The early cot
tor market was dull and prices showed
little change. The disposition was to
await fresh developments. especially IN
regard to the Weath situation, which
was considered of the utmost import
ance, as the bears have been contending
for some time that wet weather alone
was responsible for the moderate
movement and that a few weeks would
bring cotton out in immense quantities.
While the reports this morning
showed the best weather conditions for
many weeks. there being no rain of
Importance over the entire south, the
forecast was for more rain all over the
gulf states and up to Arkansas n
over the greater portion of the Atlantic
states. With this situation, sellers
were not disposed to take chances and
left bulls in undisputed possession al
though there was not much eagerness
to buy. Prices worked up a few points
during the morning but business con-
inues very dull. Port receipts $4,000
against $4,000 last year. The forecast
was for rain in most sections and this
steadied the market.

CLOVER.
Agricultural Department Deny That
They Recommend it for Distribu-
ton.

Washington. March 1S.-The atten-
ton of the United States department of
agriculture has been called to an ad-
ver-isement inserted in a number of
agricultural papers which states that
the department recommends Egyptian
clover for general distribution in this
country. Officials of the department say
this statement is not correct. Bulletin
No. ., Bureau of Plant Industry. shows
that the latitude in which Egyptian
clover is grown is that of Central FIori-
da II the extreme southern point of
Texas, and it is probable that this
clover will be of no value in this coun-
try, except in the extreme south. If it
should succeed there, it will undoubt-
eddy be of great value to grow in win
ter on the rice fields. Aside from this,
its usefulness in this country IS entirely
problematical."

New York, March 1S.-The cotton

quiet during the entire session with
prices fuctuating within a 1O-point

turned easier declining a matter of 4

ued bear pressure and liquidation en-
couraged by the better weather but af-
ter May had reached 9.72 and July 9.57

steadied the market to the close which
was a ecovery of ? to 8 points on h
active options and net 2 to 4 points
lower. Total sales of futures estimated
at l0O, 900 bales.

just about as expected so far as Liver

the local trade showed a disposition to
await fresh flood news, or some indi-
cation as to the probably attitude of the
market leaders before operating agrees
sively. The initial transactions there
fore were largely of an evening up
character, chiefly professional, COM
mission houses reporting few orders on
either side throughout the day.
The better weather reported in the
south and the continued absence Of
further damage estimates for tomor-
rows estimated receipts at leading
points, led to considerable realizing af-

German.

For four years the democrats in Gin
gress have been without a leader, who
could command a loyal n undivided
party following. On many of the new
and stirring issues of the times they
we're hopelessly at sea. Without lead
ership they were unable to TAX ad-
vantage Of republican vaciIIation and
equivocation. No one came to tEe
front with a strong enough personality
20 crystalize the party sentiment into
fixed policies.
The return Of Arthur Pue German.
of Maryland to the senate gives the
democrats a leader Of strategic ability
and Of commanding influence. He has
suffered no loss of prestige by his four
years absence from the senate On the
Contrary. his leadership was promptly
recognized by his selection as chair
nan Of the caucus and chairman Of
tie steering committee. All of which
not only restores Senator German to his
DC position as floor leader, but appar-
emily assures harmony in the party
ranks.
The unanimity with which Senators
Bacon, Cockrell, Blackburn, and other
prominent democrats assented to his
leadership is significant not only Of the
general feeling that the party must
get together in the mex congress,
but Of the popular faith in Mr.. Cor
mans qualities as an astute and tact
full leader.
It is also inevitable that his return

as a presidential candidate in 1904.
The act that he appears to have put
up ar honest fight for Bryan in Mary
land in 1896, notwithstanding his we'll
known adherence to sound money and
moderate protection, places him in a
position before the party that can
hardly fail at least to make him a
prominent factor in marking the lines
