There is every prospect of impor- tant financial legislation at the next session of Congress. The Senate has adopted a resolution, reported by Senator Aldrich, authorizing the com mittee on Finance to sit during the recess and investigate, "customs, in- ternal revenue, coinage, etc." It is known that there will be no attempt to to modify or change the tariff schedu- les and, in view of the failure of the Aldrich financial bill in the Senate and of the Fowler currency bill in the House, it is believed that an effort will be made by the Finance commit tee to frame general financial bill which will remedy some of the defects in the present system. It is generally believed that the Fowler bill, which provides for fiat currency, could never pass the Senate, that body hav- ing on several occasions put itself on record as opposed to fiat currency. It is also recalled that the last successful financial measure was framed during a recess of Congress, a joint commit tee of both houses meeting for the pur- pose at Atlantic City.

A Remarkable Case.

One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep-seated on the lungs, caus- ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Ger trude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind, who was entirely cured by the use of One Minute Cough Cure. She says: "The coughing and straining so weakened me that run down in weight from 14s to 92 pounds. I tried number of remedies to no avail until used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this wonderful remedy cured me en- tirely of the cough, strengthened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength. "-At Pioneer Drug Store.

 The Secretary of the Interior has announced five irrigation projects which have been definitely settled and one other which will probably be se- lected in the near future. Those se- lected are the Sweetwater dam, Wyom- ing, the Milk river project, Montana, the Gunnison Tunnel, Colorado, the Truckee project, Nevada, and the Salt river reservoir, Arizona. The project still in abeyance is the Gray Bull res- ervoir, and several others are being seriously consi red. Secretary Hitchcock has authorized the expen- diture of $45O, 900 during the ensuing year on further investigations, bor- ings, etc. The estimated cost of the projects already authorized is $7,0OO,- 900 and it is estimated that they will irrigate 6OO,OOO acres. As soon as these lands are irrigated they will be sold at l,25 per acre plus the cost of irrigation.

A Lazy Prospector's Rich Strike.

jim Butler, a prospector of varying
fortune and man who had knocked
about the numberless mining camps
of the Sierras, was making a saunter-
ing journey to Klondike, new mining
camp in Nevada, which was just begin
ming to attract some attention. This
was early in 1900. One night, it is
said, he lost his burros, and, when
looking for them next morning. ran
across ledge of rock which his eve
warned him to chip. But rumor has it
that he was too lazy to get from his
mule and hammer off a piece. His
wife, who always was with him on
such ventures, did it for the indiffer-
ent husband, and when they reached
the new camp they gave it to a man
to assay. He promptly tossed it aside
and forgot it. But there had been
saved another junk of out-crop and
this Butler took with him to Belmont
and handed it to young eastern col
lege graduate who was there for his
health. He in turn, passed it to an
other man, and when the assay was
made it gave the startling return of
1000 ounces of silver and a trace of
gold Then Butler went back, To-

cO.hran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

Naw York. April s-While trading today continued along moderate lines the tone of the market was such as to increase nervousness among shorts In all options In view of the approaching holidays a number desired to end their obligations on that side of the market, and as a re- suit the moderate buying advanced May to 10.35.
 This advance followed short covering; not bull buying The May people seem dIsposed to sell on every advance now, and inc conversion of paper into real profits places the pool in better shape to look after the cotton left
 As this cotton cost them less than cents for a large block of t. and it will take quite a decline to bring out this cotton, where Is the short interest in May cotton to cover witnout buying from the May people?
 There Is a fair movement of cotton in the south, but not such as 10 relieve things much. This position is still the menacing factor as far as snort selling goes. August is selling at a serious dis count under May, July is held by Phil adelphia people and the new crop options are held up by the strength of spots and the old crop futures. We are free to confess that the situation Is very per- picking.
 If all accounts are true the long account in May may bring about a wDa scramble before the end of next month and the whole market can hardA. be a safe sale as long as this position con- tinues. After 1t fs over the outlook may he different. Crop preparations are back ward and reserves of cotton everywhere are small. With interior and port stocks showing loss of some 450000 bales from last years total lne outlook is not such l as to induce very bearish feeling for the time being.

Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, April 9.-The cotton market opened and points higher on small sales. July led in point of activity, and worked up points. There was no dis position to do much in the market today since New York was to close from this evening until Monday. Liverpool will close tomorrow. Saturday and Monday, and New Orleans tomorrow and Satur- day. Owing to the close tomorrow the usual week end figures will be missing; sentiment still leans to the long side of the market but there is not much snap to the speculation.
 The only noteworthy feature as to the crop is the progress being made in Texas and it's safe to calculate on this having some effect on the market later on but not at this time. Less is heard than ex- pected as to increased acreage and all in all 1t looks as if the proposed increase in some sections will be offset by reductions in others. The scalping fraternity mo- nopolized business most of today. Weath- CT was generally fair with indications of continued fine conditions. Receipts at ports, 11.oc0 against same last year. The May bulls were claiming a much higher market Cables were quiet at 1 to : points up. Manchester dull.
