HEAVY LIQUIDATION ON

New York, July 6.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to 10 points under firmer cables and reports ot floods and heavy rains in Texas, but after an interval of comparative firmness became very active and excited under heavy hqul- dation credited to the bull pool which also attracted considerable local bear pressure
 The result was a very severe break wlth August showing leading weakness. On the cali this position had sold at 1E.oo anu was sold of to il. 70 before the end Of the first hour, this being a loss of s5 points; July sold at 11.75 and September declined 7g points from the best of the morning before the first outburst of selling sup sided. Then the market steadied slightly, regaining about to 12 points of its early loss but showed every indications of ex- treme nervousness and uncertainty. In some quarters it was believed that the heavy New Orleans selling noted during the decline was a forerunner of the end and that. the clique who had become alarmed over the improvement in the crop outlook were actually attempting to get out, notwithstan nding their heavy hold ings of spot cotton. On the other hand there were those who were disposed to believe that the break had been brought about for the purpose of attracting new short interest with the expectation that a show of renewed firmness on the part or the clique would again send values hting and force these shorts to cover. In the last hour, however, the market again be- came very weak under further good sell ing and this time Wall street houses were heavy sellers of August and September, apparently refecting their confidence in the retreat of the bull pool. Under this combined pressure prices were soon searching for new low level of the ses- sion, August selling at 11.61, September 10.69 and December 9.7O Just before the close September and December were ral- lied point or two but the list generally was at the lowest of the day, closing easy net F to s4 points lower. Sales of futures were estimated at SOOOOO bales. Spot cot ton was marked down 65 points, closing on the basis of 12.10.

THE STRENUOUS LIFE
A GREAT STRAIN.

No one disputes the fact that living In n
rapid age; 1t IL rush. rush, rush from morning
until night and competition is fierce that the
struggle does not until the machine is worn

Women. too, even when surrounded by every
comfort, become infected by the common spirit,
and what with their clubs and many social duties
have time to give thought to their physical
well being Until they suddenly brought to a
sharp realization of the fact that nothing in their
lives is important attention to correct or
rational living.

The act specifies the conSiderati ton for
payment as follows:
Z" The Philadelphia. Baltimore and Wash
ington Railroad Company is required to
remove its present eastern connection be-
tween its passenger station and its line on
Virginia avenue via 9th street, including
the tracks on 9th street. and it's western
connection via Maryland avenue, and to
convey it's passenger station building to the
United States. And in considera ton there
of, and of the REIMBURSEMENT and surren-
der e ." = of it's right to occupy and
the portion of the mall :" -
The act specifically provides that pay
ment of the sum appropriated snail be
made upon presentation of certificate of
the Commissioners of the District of Column
bia that said passenger station and termi-
nal and connecting lines of railroad con-
templated by this act are ready for occu-
pancy.'
From a cursory examination of the
foregoing provisions in the two acts cited
1t would appear that Congress had author
lied the Independent construction by two
different railroad companies, and also by a
terminal company, OF two separate stations,
terminals, viaducts and connecting lines of
railroad. A closer inspection shows that
the station, terminals, viaduct and connect
ing lines provided for by the first of these
acts are required to be located, in part, on
the same ground that those provided for by
the second act are required to be located
on, and that the latter would serve all the
purposes of the former. This fact suggests
the view that the latter act is intended as
a substitute for the former act But
more careful eXamina ton of the provisions
of the two acts clearly shows that the
later act is intended modificat ton of
the prior act, and not as a substitute, and
that all the provisions of the prior act
which have not been modified by some
provisions In the later act remain in force.
Provision of Section 8.
Numerous provisions in the later act
Indicate that such was the intention of
Congress. and this intention is expressly
declared in section of that act, as fol-
lows:
Except as modified by this act, all the
provisions of said act relating to the Balti.
more and Ohio Railroad Company, APP
proved February II, 1901, shall be and re.
main in full force and effect
But notwithstanding this provision, il
is still very difficult to determine from
reading of the provisions Of both acts
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-11-06

whether the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company is authorized to construct any
portion of the station, terminals viaduct
and connecting lines provided for, and, if
so, what portions of each. The former of
these acts provides, indicated supra, that
the sum of 81 800, 600, to be paid the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, shall
be paid upon presentation of certificate
by the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia that the said viaduct has been
completed as required by this act
THE provisions of the later act by
charging the location of the station pro-
weed for by the prior act and other spe-
cifc provisions indicated supra, necessarily
modify the provision for the viaduct re-
CURED by the priCr act to be constructed
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany or the terminal company therein pro-
vided for and a serious doubt is raised
as to which of said companies is required to
construct the viaduct modified or even
if it is not required to be constructed in
part by the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company
Authority Conferred by Later Act.
The later act authorizes and REQUIRES the
Philadelphia Baltimore and Washington
Railroad Company or the terminal company
provided for to construct a union station,
terminals and connecting lines of railroad,
and it is specifically provided therein as
follows:
1T is the lntentlOn OF this act that the
portion of the line Of railroad above author
lied lying between the north line of Massa-
chusetts avenue and the north line Of Flor
ida avenue, If constructed by said Philadal-
phia. Baltimore and Washington Railroad
Company, shall be constructed jointly with
the said terminal company, and, with the
viaduct and elevated terminal carrying the
same above or over the streets and avenues
of the city, be continuous with the elevated
terminal and viaduct of said terminal COM
pany; and in that case the cost of said
joint works shall be borne by said railroad
company and said terminal company in
such proportions as they may agree on.
If. however. the Philadelphia, Bal
timore and Washington Railroad Company
shall deem 1t expedient or advisable, and
shall so elect. that the whole or any por-
ton of the railroad hereby authorized south
of the point herinbefore designated, on the
north line of Montana avenue should be
constructed and owned by said terminal
company, then and thereupon the said Phil
adelphia Baltimore and Washington Rail-
road Company shall acquire. by purchase

Company one-half of the, whole then issued
capital stock of the terminal company, and

MASTER OF THE SITUATION.

MASTER Of IhG oil OhA1o-N
There are some blows that fall with
such suddenness that they daze the
faculties and make the recipient OF
them seem unfeeling. Such a one was
this. As the detective took from his
pocket a folded paper Mr.. DegraW
stared at him utterly unmoved, and
when the document was thrust into
his hand he opened it and surveyed its
contents as if he were obeying the
beck of a friend in matter in which
he possessed no personal interest. But
at the sight Of his name, with the ofti-
cial signature beneath it, he flushed,
and tossing the paper back cried has

Then Mr.. Degraw turned pale.

"Nowr he cried and stopped. An
empty space was before him.
He said to the inspector. in relating
the story, that he never before felt so
foolish. Had she gone through the
floor? Had she evaporatd into air!
He stood for 8 moment baffed; then
he tore down the clothes hanging on
pegs before him, and searching the
walls found the evidences Of lock in
the back partition. But it was spring
lock, and as for the partition itself 1t
was so strong that it scarcely shook
under his weight, though he cast him.
self heavily against it.
Disappointed, but. above all, morti-
fed at what promised to be complete
fasco. he came from the closet, and
opening the door into the hall, rushed
hastily toward the back Of the house
in the hope of being able to cut short
her escape. But here he was met by
q blank wall. On this story of the
house the only communication between
the front and the rear lay through the
closet, and this was effectually closed.
Remembering that the house opened
upon an alleyway in the rear, he at
once lost heart.
"She is gone" he whispered to him
self, and blushed, though there was no
one there to see.
And his fears proved true. Neither
then, nor for months afterward. did
the police succeed in laying hands upon
this mysterious woman. She had seen
Imprisonment in Mr.. Gryce's eye and
fed opportunely, and all the satisfac-
ton they got out of the matter was the
certainty Of her being the woman they
sought.
