institution, is crowded temporarily int

buildings will not accommodate at one
time all who are taking the work. The
creation of the new department Of mill
itary science and tactics of the institu-
ton and the fact that the government
has provided the institution with
large number of arms and ordnance
stores at no cost to the territory, but
with the understanding that they must
be properly housed and cared for,
creates an imperative demand for a
suitable building for this work. There
is absolutely no part of the institution
available for the storing of these arms
and stores.
The president sums up the needs of
the institution as follows: First,
building to serve the needs of the de-
partments of agriculture and horticul-
ture and domestic science. Second an
armory and gymnasium for the mill
tary department. Third, boys DOR

continued strong demand for the stu
dents taking the course in English

The report includes full detailed
| list of the students attending the insti-
tuition during the past year. The names
of students are given in full, with the
age, residence, and grade of each, and
the total number listed is 3O7-21S boys
and SO girls. An examination of the
list of names reveals some interesting
facts. Two hundred and forty-three out
Of the total of 3O7 are residents of the
territory and almost every locality is
represented in the institution. Much
more than half of the students come
from beyond the broad confines of Dona
Ana county, so that the institution is
by no means a local one. The great
demand for dormitories by the college
is illustrated by the fact that a total
of 1856 boys and So girls come from be-
yond the vicinity of the college and

commodations are more than full, the
girls dormitory having had to refuse
within the past few months a number

the college, but who failed to do so
from lack of 'dormitory accommoda-
tions. The institution is without any
boys dormitory, for which there is an
urgent need.
NEEDS OF THE COLLEGE.
The president presents a strong ar
gument in his report for the provision
Of new buildings for the College. IT is
evident to even the casual reader that
the institution is in serious and urgent
need of additional building accommo-
dations which it must be provided with
unless the work of the college is going
to be seriously hampered and retarded.
It appears that several departments of

AN OBSTREPERoUS NEGRo.
He Preferred Being Killed to Opening His Door
for Another LOdger.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 20.-A negro
named Lafayette Sims, who barricaded
himself in north Rampant street oig-
ing house early this morning and defied
the police, shooting frequently at them,
was finally killed BY the officers after
the fire department had been called out
and preparations had been made to
smoke him out. The origin of the
trouble was trivial. The landlord tried
to compel Sims to open the door to make
room for another lodger and when re-
fused sent for a policeman who smashed
the door. Sims began to shoot.

THIRTY.FIFTH
LEGISLATIVE
ASSEMBLY
1wENrY-sEcoND DAY. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20. leo5

nays. Mr.. Eduardo Martinez at once
r. owed to adjourn but the motion was
lost. The roll was called on the motion
to suspend the rules and this resulted
in Is ayes to 9 nays. AS a two-thirds
vote is necessary to suspend rules, the
motion failed. Mr.. Llewellyn at once
moved to go into a committee of the
whole to consider the bill. Mr.. Kilpat-
rick insisted that the refusal Of the
House to suspend the rules caused the
bill to take it's regular course. The
Speaker read the rule of the national
house of representatives on the subject
and it makes it unnecessary even to
80 into a committee of the whole and
Permits action to be taken. Mr.. XII
patrick then moved to adjourn and 1t
was lost. Mr.. Martin Sanchez caused
great laugh by saying that he was so
anN,o Gus to see the bill pass that in Or
der that his votes might not possibly
be misunderstood, he intended to vote
on all roll calls in connection with it in
both English and Spanish, and he did.
The vote on the motion to adjourn was
5 ayes and 16 nays. Mr.. Llewellyn
moved to read the bill the third time
preparatory to placing it on its pas
sage, but Mr.. Gutierrez moved to table
the motion and the motion was lost by
ayes to 16 nays. Mr.. Llewellyn de-
manded the previous question on his
motion and Mr.. Gutierrez moved to ad-
journ. The last motion was declared
out Of order by the Speaker and the
bill was then read the third time. Mr..
Turner presented an amendment and
said that in the passage of the bill Gre
ating Quay county, there had been
caused a slight discrepancy in the
boundary lines between the two coun-
ties and it was desired to correct this
in the present bill. Mr.. Gutierrez NOV
ed to table the amendment but the mo-
ton was lost. Mr.. Martin Sanchez
then moved to adopt the amendment
and Mr.. Llewellyn demanded the pre-
vioiss question. Mr.. Gutierrez moved
to table Mr.. Sanchez motion but was
declared out of order. The amendment
was then adopted. Mr.. Sanchez moved
the reading of the bill by title prepara-
tory to it's passage and Mr.. Llewellyn
demanded the previous question. Again
Mr. Gutierrez moved to table Mr.. San
chez motion and again was the motion
declared out of order. The bill was
read by title and Mr.. Baca moved the
passage of the bill while Mr.. Dalies de-
manded the previous question. On the
roll call on the previous question Mr..
Gutierrez made an impassioned speech
against receiving such treatment and
declared he was given no rights or
privileges whatever. Mr.. Baca finally
demanded that he be called to order as
le was not explaining his vote and the
Speaker took the same view Of the
question. The main question was Or
Tered by vote of 1S to 6 and the bill
vas then passed by 10 ayes to nays.

Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, May 19.-Cotton opened 4
to IL points higher on heavy buying.
Cables were in full response to our
advance yesterday. Sellers were keep
ing in the background and opinion was
pretty unanimous on the probab ility of
shorts being made to buy dearly before
squaring up their accounts. People
who have been big bears at cents are
now bulls, and the general trade see
no limit to the advance. The world
seems to have been caught mapping
and wants cotton and the cotton is
beyond reach. The backwardness of
the new crop strengthens the position.
The next crop may turn out good
one. but so far it is anything but prom
Using, and it is dangerous to calculate
on its improving rapidly enough to
make 100000 bales, which, 1t is now
figured will be needed. On the other
hand adverse weather developments
may cut the yield down so materially
as to make present prices appear very
moderate. The weather map to-day
was a good one, and the higher tenn
perature generally was conducive to
repairing much of the backwardness
During the morning the market rose
10 to IL points, all of which was lost
before long on profit taking by buyers
of yesterday and last week. No atten-
ton was paid to the receipts. The
weekly bureau report was bullish and
held steadying influence. Cables I'M
changed to 4 higher. Port receipts H.
900, against 5000 last year.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, May 19.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of to
points under strong cables and renewed
bull support. While at first owing to
the reactionary tendency at Liverpool,
which market after having sold up 111a
@131a points on the old crop months de-
clined to a level net 1906 points high
err to the outlook for heavy receipts
and the expectation of a bearish wealth
er report at midday, shorts were dis
posed to stand by their commitments,
they were entirely unable to withstand
the aggressive buying of the bulls and
prices were Immediately rushed up to
new high levels for the season. May
sold as high as u.70c; July, 1.36c;
August, 11.02c, and September, 9.7Sc.
Then realizing became more general,
room longs turned for profits, and
prices were forced down point by point
in the face of continued bull support,
and on the decline 1t became apparent
that the room was looking for a scalp
on the short side. But when the
weekly report of the weather bureau
was published at midday showing
much less favorable condition than ex-
pected, the shorts were again COM
pletely routed and prices were sent up
at a record rate. In ten minutes July
had sold up from 11.17c to 11.24c; Au-
Der, from 9.65c to 9.72c. This rally
seemed apparently to have exhausted
the demand from shorts and was fol-
lowed by another reactionary period
during which trading became much
less active. The decline was started
by selling of July said to originate
with the leader of the New England
clique and as it progressed the selling
movement was swollen by liquidation
of the old crop months, while the new
crop was maintained by covering. This
movement eliminated when a level
about net los points lower had been
attained on the summer months and
was followed just before the close by
another spirited burst of trading. 1t
was rumored that a certain Wall street
interest prominent on the bull side ear
ly in the season was buying for an ad-
vance of a cent or more, and this add
ed TO the general irregularity and few
erishneSs. The new crop months were
the strongest features in the late trade,
and at the close showed the greatest
gains. May closed at 11.64c, July at
11.24c, August at 10.95c, and September
al 9.7Sc, with the general list net to
13 points higher. November scored the
biggest advance, closing at 1922 against
S.91c last night. Total sales futures
estimated 100000 bales.

Another wild market in Liverpool has
been followed by sharp fluctuations
here with, however, more realizing In
progress than for some time past. Our
cablegrams from Liverpool convey the
same information though there is not
any decided weakness in the nearby
deliveries there, while the distant posi-
tons were relatively weak all the day.
The crop report was quite as poor as
expected, bearing out the information
which has come to hand through pri-
vate sources. 1t is reported, however,
that there is some slight improvement
since the report was compiled as the
the weather has been warmer. In the
confused condition of the market the
only feature has been the realizing
which has been in progress which,
while not traceable to the new bulls is
thought to come from old holdings. A
reaction is certainly in order after
the recent wild markets. The market
took alarm over the poor bureau report
during the afternoon and closed firm.
So far the main buying of new crops
seemed to be covering.

ket opened strong to-day, with an adj
vance of Az to IA points. During the

Throughout the day the demand was
good and during the late hours trading
was brisk. Exporters appeared to
want the article, and they were bidding
against each other for the Offering
stock. With the interest in the Savan-

bidding creates it looks to factors like

competition that will benefit the mar

did not appear to be any eagerness on
the part of factors TO let CO. for they
