May contracts show an advance of all most exactly one cent a pound over the closing figures of February 3. An advance of 1GO points has developed in fifteen days. Prices are two cents q pound higher than on November II. Such rapid enhancement in value is al- most without precedent in the history of trade.
 While the storI7: which has been gen eral throughout the country, and which seriously interfered with the move ment of cotton is responsible to some extent for today's rise, the improve ment is rather more directly attrib- utable to the manipulation of the three cliques of bull operators who are cred- tied with controlling the market in New Orleans, New York and Liverpoci

 was not expedient to air our relations

 at large. The speakers differed widely. however, as to the eXpediency of the
 policy of delay which was freely caarS- ed that now was being pursued in con- nection with the Panama treaty on the one hand and with the statehood bill on the other. Some Of the senators avowed themselves advocates of the
 rule of cloture. Others expressed conviction that proiongation of the present situation would lead to speedy adoption of such 9 rule.
 Speaking in this vein. MT.

BLINDNESS PROVED INNOCENCE

Philadelphia, February 20.-Blindness enabled Dominic Parziale, of Twelfth and Kimball streets, to combat sue successfully a charge or conspiring to deiraud the government revenue taxes when ha was arraigned before United States Commissioner Bell yesterday.
 No similar case has ever been brought to the attention of government agents. Parziaie was arrested q month ago at Walnut street wharf, where he went, it is charged, to receive a box containing 10.000 unstamped cigars, which revenue agents declared were shipped from Mulberry street. New York. Previous ly they found similar cigars on sale in the Italian qGartc-', and had 5Seu try ing to find out where they came from
 They declared their belief that Par ziale was the distributing agent for the cigars. But Parziale did not deny that he had purchased cigars. He said that he had made the purchase in good faith, at a price which merited stamped goods. and if they were unstamped he had been deceived as well as the gov ernment. because he could not see. Nor could he give them d clue as to the agent rom NHolfl He bought the ciSafS, because he could not see the man, and therefore could not describe him. and he is now believed to have been the tool of New York smugglers.
 Under these conditions the revenue agents could find no one in New York to connect with the case, and as it re- quires to form a conspiracy. They could neither prove the charge on which they arrested him nor disprove his story, and he was released.

Washington, February 20.-The sen ate spent the entire executive session considering the Panama canal treaty, and at 5:25 p. m. took recess until tomorrow at Il o'clock. No vote was taken on any of the amendments pre- pared by Mir. Morgan
 A decision of the steering committee against a night session was reached at I meeting of the committee held dur ing the afternoon at the request of Senator Cullom, who has the Colom- bian, otherwise known as the Panama canal treaty. in charge and he wished the steering committees advice as to the abandoning of the night session.
 The committee decided that the sen timent Of the senate was against the holding of another night session until an effort had been made to reach an adjustment of the somewhat tangled legislative situation in the senate. in order tO bring about tine adjustment It was suggested that some compromise might be made cn the statehood bill.
 Tie opponents of the statehood bill never have believed that the measure could be carried as q rider on the postcffice appropria tion bill in the sen ate. but the friends of the measure have discovered that they have votes not only to carry out this plan. but to overrule the chair should he decide that the rider is not in order.
 
 made the opposition apprehensive though not convinced of this claim, and in committee today they said such being the case, it will mean an extra session of congress and that the ap- propriation bill with the statehood rid CT would be defeated.
 It was also found that the leaders in the statehood fight are willing to as sume the responsibility for this out come. With this situation before them the steering committee began to discuss the possibility of a compromise.
 Senators Quay and EIkins and other republicans who have been faVoring the statehood bill were called in and the matter was canvassed at some length but without approaching an agreement. The democrats have not been consulted and as they have stood cut solidiy against the plan for q com promise for the creation of two new states they may not accept any com promise proposition. Should d con- promise be agreed upon it is stated that it will include ratification of the Colombian and the Cuban treaties.
 After Senator Morgan had spoke for an hour or more in the executive ses- sion he gave way to MT. Quay, but be fore the latter had well begun Senator Carmack moved that MT. Morgan be allowed to discuss the canal question i'll the open senate. In support of the motion he said the question was of gen. eral importance and that the country should be placed in possession of the details.
 The motion brought on a general de- bate in which the rules of the senate. the aGvisahility of cIoture. and inc necessity of maintaining in the senate free speech and many other kindred topics were discussed. Among those who spoke were Messrs. Spooner. Tel Ter, Depew, Hale and Bacon. most of whom opposed NIT. Carmack's motion
