COTTON PRICES
 MAKE ADVANCE Private Advices Were All of a
 BulIiSh Nature REALIZING ON ADVANCE Bull Contingent Became More Asgress- I've as the Session Advanced Cotton Little Scarce.
 

New York. October 29.-The cotton mar ket onened firm at an advance of BOT points on better Liverpool cables than expected, and private advices Of a pul- fish character from that market This induced covering and further bull sup port, which immediately following the cali forced prices still a little higher, but the market met with considerable realizing on the advance, especially January, of whlcn some 10, GOO bales were sold in the first nl- teen ori twenty minutes. These onerlngs were well absorbed, however, and beyond causing a decline to just about or a point or so under the opening figure, had very little influence. On the other hand bullish crop estimate by private inter ests was in circulation and encouraged by these factors, the bull contingent be- came more aggressive as the session pro- gressed, and there seemed to be no spec ia1 weight of cotton on the market. Be- fore midday, influenced by this the mar ket was active and firm, and during the balance of the session ruled generally firm, closing at the best prices or the day. The final tone was steady at net advance of 1S@23 points. Sales were w. OO0 bales, accOru1nB tO eStlnidieS'
 In addition to the private crop estimate placing the probable yield at 10,3OOooo bales, the advance was encouraged by re- ports of more active demand from Euro pean shippers and expectations Of large exports for the balance of the week with today's clearances about Al, 413 bales. On the other hand the movement into sight is large with the ports today getting 61,- 413 bales, or nearly 10000 bales more than early estimates while the leading interior towns had about 41 GOO bales.
 Some southern spot market were slight ly lower but others, including New Or leans and Galveston, were 1-16 higher, the firmness in this direction having consider able influence on the future market.

Jobbers are experiencing an indifferent house trade, but reports from retailers claim decided improvement.

The New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, October 29.-Spot cotton in good demand at full prices. Sales $500 bales including 5400 ito arrive. Quotations 1-16 higher.
 Futures at the opening were to points up. Soon after the first call prices eased off for want of support, but this condition continued only a short while when one of the prominent bull leaders commenced bidding fcr March in blocks of 10000 and the entire list advanced steadily to the close with active trading. Net gains on October IS points, while the other posi- tions gained from 20 to 21. The advance was attributed by many to manipulation but the inherent strength of the fieecy staple on account of the short crop out look doubtless had much more influence on the market.

Difficulties for Marconi.

The London Times the first of the week published two dispatches from New York which had been transmit ted by the Marcori wireless telegraph system, and MarcCni stated that some time next week his company would be ready for commercial business between the United States and England
 Assuming that the Italian wizard is now able to transmit mes ages between Cape Cod station and the station at Poldhu, Cornwall, he has yet to over come some very substantial difficulties. In order to compete with the cables he must be able to handle business at least as expeditlously and cheaply as the cable companies, and, besides. per feet conditions with the land telegraph systems on each side of the water. It is understood that in this country thc telegraph companies stand ready to e2- change business with the Marconi com pany. but in England no arrangement for forwarding Marconi messages by the wire systems has been made. The lSi@s5i Sph SSoteltl III E-ilSldIlu IS ON lISu by the British government and con trolled by the postofficc department. II is explained that many English sci entists have been conservative m ac- cepting MT Marcon's claims, and there is still apparently feeling that the commercial practicability of trans- atlantic wireless messages has not been demonstrated The rostoffice has re- fused to join hands with the Marconi company and considerable critical

He was arrested, taken before the United States courts and taken to Washington, where he made a long fight against our govern ment to avoid punishment for violat- ing the neutrality laws and his own oath not to interfere with the peace of Cuba. Through the influence of Dr. Jose l. Rodriguez, his counsel, he was finally released after taking another pledge that he would let filibustering alone and behave himself. He return- ed to New York, where he remained in quiet until the Spanish war

Sanguilly'S Gratitude.

It was probably noted by most news paper readers during the debates in the Cuban senate over the reciprocity treaty, that the most unccmpromisins enemy of the United States was Sena- tor and General Sanguilly. That great warrior was opposed to ratif1- cation, and was opposed to everything that this country might want. There was good reason for his attitude of hostility-he owed his life to the the same reason will lead many othor Cubans to be the enemies of the United States.
 General Sanguilly was the only against the treaty, finally, and he could not take any other position, of course, since his 'honor" as the leader Of thh faction which is bitterly opposed to all things American required him to be consistent, even when it was more to the interest of Cuba than the United States to have the treaty ratified Sanguilly is the gentleman for whom Secretary Olney, Secretary Day and Consul General Lee took so much trouble previous to the Spanish war Sanguiliy was the most reckless of all the Cuban leaders in the revolution, and after many adventures was finally arrested and thrown into prison at Havana. He was tried by military court and sentenced to be shot, There was general protest in this country and MT. Olney, then secretary Of state, succeeded in having the order for his execution revoked. He was still in prison when the administration at Washington changed and afterward by instruction of Secretary Day an at tempt WIS made by General Lee, then consul at Havana, to secure hisrelease. After long negotiations the Spanish authorities consented to let him go back to the United States provided he would take an oath not to engage <n flibustering operations or any other hostile movements against the Spanish government. For long time San gully refused, but at last took the oath in the presence of General Lee. who led him out of the prison. gave him money, put him on steamer and sent him to New York.
 Sanguilly showed up at Washington and posed as hero for several weeks. He then disappeared and was next heard of in Jacksonville, where he was

Race Pride on the Stage.

Egg and vegetable proof stage cos tunes will become popular ii outbreaks like one which took place at an uptown theatre on Friday evening are known to go unpunished. farce was Eeius performed in which the fun provoking characters were Irishmen and Irisn women. The situations. costumes and dialogue were Grotesque and exagger- ated. and produced the laughter to provoke which they were created. But several hundred proud Irishmen saw insult to their countrymen in the play, and. arming themselves with eggs Of uncertain age and vegetables of ques- tionable soundness, took their places in the auditorium At q given signal the dissatisfied auditors bombarded the players with the unsavory tokens of their disapprovaI and succeeded in breaking up the performance.
 The occurrence undoubtedly gave the actors much discomfort and caused the managers no small amount of annoy ance, but it served as a timely warn, ing to playwrights and actors. Plays with Dutch" Irish, negro and Jew ish characters have been popular for many years on the American stage. ne ntiSINS ana the l1uckleNS luiic- duced to the public an exaggerated, impossible plantation negro. and ha has abided with Us ever since. Com edians of the Gus Williams school gave us a ''Dutchman'' who never ex- istci. with 2 language which was never heard off the stage. and the followers of the school are still doing business. t4&lriE2r and Hart held the mirror up to nature, and went nature several points better, and their numerous dia- logues based on Irish wit amused many thousands of people. The East Sicc Jew. whose language and appearance are at best mirth provoking, was made suporl2uVeiy grotesque by men who impcrsonated him on the stage, and for the sake of making g humorous hit he has often been burdoned with low characteristics which he does not pos se5s. But it was all in the play" and while there may have been individual objections to some of these cartcaturcs there has never been any armed up rising against them
 The Harlem Incident may. however. change all this. Hereafter when Q 'Dutchman" appears on the stage the members of the Arion or the Lieder- kran2 may demonstrate their disap- proVal of his makeup or his language by pelting him with Frankfurter

"HOrSe and Horse.'

If Admiral Dewey made q mistake by speaking so freely in his recent in terview. he is lucky in having the German officials come to his rescue II there was breach of the propreties in saying that the maneuvers in the West Indies were an object lesson to the German emperor. all occasion for concern on the part of President Roosevelt or Admiral Dewey has been removed by the bitter comments of freely the Germans have offended to q greater degree, and it is now case of morse and horse" The freedom of speech of which our German friends have complained so much prevails quite as decidedly in Germany, it ap- pears. For example, one of the gener- als Of the German army, Count Rev. entlow, indulges in language so offen- sive to Americans that the two govern ments will be glad to consider the in- cident closed
 
 Count Reventlow is not content with making the statement that the United States navy consists of anticipated battleships and old hulks which would not be able to cope with the first squadron of the German navy. but charges American sailors with immor- ality, deprecates the alleged independ- ence of the marines as leading to wholesale assertions and mutiny, and winds up by saying that the naval maneuvers conducted by Admiral Dewey show that the American navy is still in it's infant shoes. In view of the fact that this attack upon the American navy expresses faithfully | the prevailing impression in German ! naval and army circles it is of special significance.
 After belittling Dewcy's achieve ments at Manila Count Reventlow in his article adds:
 If Admiral Dewey claims that Ger many is not in position to resist his ffty-four warships with a similar force he speaks against better know ledge. His boastful reference to the hfty-four ships assembled in the Car ibbean sea during the Venezuelan blcckaGe is only intended as | blind to the layman, but does not speak for it's strength. The feet counted only six l battleships of various and some anti qUated types, and modern protected cruisers the United States does not pos sess at all. Our homogeneous and splcndidly equipped first squadron now
 in commission would easily overpowcI' this assembly of ships. 1 believe in the future of the United States navy. but there is no ground :or fear it is an ex- ceiling and awesome power.'
 The count then attacks the Amer ican navy, alleging assertions on masse, calls attention to it's. extraordin- ary deficiency in gun practice. and al- Ieging inferior morality among non commissioned officers and men.
 Tt is to be hoped" he says. that ECw all presents and invitations to the United States will cease.''
 Will Admiral Dewey now be good?

Working Against Their Own Interests

Very foolishly, the newspapers Of Tucson, persuaded by few hot-headed men from Florence, have begun cam paign of opposition against the con- struction of the Salt River reservoir by the government. The misguided people of Florence apparently believe that the prospects for construction of the San Carlos reservoir will be strengthened by attacking the enter prise which this valley has in hand, and the Tucson papers care nothing about the case made out by Florence these publicatio are only too glad to be able to say something which they hope will injure Phoenix.
 As matter of fact, the action of the government will not be influenced q hairs breadth by the Tucson papers, have been led into false position b. the silly talk of a few of their citizens, they will realize later if they do not realize now, that the most effective way to accomplish the eternal defeat of the San Carlos scheme Is to arouse the enmity of the Salt River valley-a community which heretofore has been exceedingly friendly to the aspirations of Florence for water storage.
