AN EASILY MADE FORTUNE.

According to the story that is being
told in cotton circles in New York
the fortune which Daniel ]. SulIy made
In cotton this spring was easily and
qnickly made. The amount he made
was not nearly as large as it was
reported to be. Mr.. Sully and two
friends were in the deal together. Mr..
Sully had convinced them that there
was famine in cotton. He had stud
led the situation and knew it thor
Oughly.
Neither of the three had a very great
deal of money. They agreed to stand
losses to the amount of $3.50, 900. They
must have had that amount there
fore where they could place their
hands on it. AT no time did they
have to put up doller They made
their fortunes without the investment
of any money whatever. In all they
bought 100000 bales at an average cost
OF 9.O2 cents a pound and sold it at
an average of 11.05 cents. The amount
they cleared above all expenses was
$2,0S0,000 or about 1867, 900 apiece The
OlSSGSl part Oh tDelT zeal began in
March and ended in May. At no time
were they called on for margins, the
steady rise in the price of cotton be-
ing sufficient to cover them. Mr.. Sully
made side deals during the time
which were sufficient to pay
brokerage expenses and interest charges
so that the money made on the deal
was clear of all membranes.
large number Of cotton spectators
followed Mr.. Sully's lead. and it is
estimated that they made about $780,
100000. The stories that Mr. Sully
was backed by very rich man and
that he was acting for a syndicate
were without foundation.
The three successful operators had
a supper at the Waldorf-Astoria a few
nights ago, and afterwards one of them
told the facts of the deal. 1t is evil
dent that it was Sully's nerve, in
formation and brains that won the
money that made q fortune for each
of the three. He is now out of cotton
and will sail for Europe on June 8
TO be gone for year.

A THOROUGH OVERLAPPING NEED

The latest development in the post
office scandal is a pretty strong argu-
ment that there is need for a change
in the political complexion of the ad-
ministration. The Republicans have
been in power so long that they feel
they own the government, and can do
about as they please. This view of the
matter win be brought home to the
people in the presidential contest next
year, and it is not at all improbable
that they win come to the conclusion
that it is about time to turn the gov
eminent over to the Democrats.
Besides the arrest of Supt. Machen
of the free delivery system. our dis
patches yesterday contained an account
of the wrong-doing of two postmasters
in the Philippines. 1t, looks therefore
as if much rottenness would be dis
closed If the investigation should be
thorough. The Postmaster General,
when the charges were first presented,
was of the opinion that they did not
amount to anything. 1t transpires that
he was mistaken. There is a very fair
prospect of enough being discovered to
satisfy the public that there should be
a pretty thorough overhauling of the
departments, and that this work should
be intrusted to the Democratic party.
1t can hardly be otherwise than that
the frauds that were committed in Gu
ba, in the Philippines and those that
are being discovered in the Postoffice
Department will play an important part
in the presidential campaign. They
will be used to convince the people that
their interests require that they should
make a change in the government
that they should turn the Republicans
out,

An important if true" story comes

So anxious are the Pennsylvania
daily newspapers to see Senator Quay
out of politics that they jump at every
rumor of his retirement as containing
a possible germ of truth. There is

Quay is probably laughing in his

A BLACK EYE FOR THE IOWA

Pennsylvania Republicans, in their
state convention on Wednesday, de-
clared against any reduction in the
present tariff schedules. Does this mean
that the Republican leaders have
agreed that there shall be no declara-
ton in the next national platform of
their party in favor of a reduction of
the tariff? 1t may mean that or it
may mean that Pennsylvania Republi-
cans will oppose a declaration of that
kind.
It is well understood, of course, that
Western Republicans, particularly
those of Iowa, are insisting upon a re-
duction of those tariff schedules which
afford a shelter for trusts. The Pres
ident, since he has been in the West
has found a strong tariff reduction
sentiment, and it is said that he has
been trying to show his supporters
there that it would not be advisabl
to open up the tariff question during
the presidential contest. How we'll he
has succeeded is not yet apparent, but
as soon as the Republican state con-
to meet it will become evident whether
or not his efforts have been success
full.
AS Senator Quay, who is one of the
Presidents closest friends and advis-
ers, dominates the Republican party
of Pennsylvania, it would not be sur
prising If the Republican convention
e L. So, Il n
reduction of any of the tariff sched-
ules with the understanding that an
effort should be made to have the Re-
publican conventions of other states
take a like stand. The Republicans
are by no means united in support of
the present tariff schedules, and if a
plank should be put in their national
platform next year in favor of reduc-
ing some of the tariff schedules there
would be trouble at once in the Re-
publican party.
The protection element is much
stronger than the tariff reduction ele-
ment, but the latter is ag-
gressive. 1t may turn out therefore that
the tariff question will be source of
a great deal of trouble to the Republic
cans in the presidential campaign. In
view of the fact that they are divided
on that question it would be interest
ing to know if the course taken by
the Pennsylvania convention is intend
ed to indicate to Republicans of other
states what the desire of the President
and the other Republican leaders is in
regard to the position the party shall
take in dealing with the tariff in the
national platform next year.

his sword a friend and fellow-towns-
man of the name of Hartmann, of the
artillery, for not saluting him correct

fenced to Imprisonment for four years

Hussner claimed that he was acting

Hartmann, but the court ignored his
plea. A few more sentences like this

The strike situation is becoming crit
ical at Lowell Our dispatches of yes
terday said the United Textile Work
ers of America were giving all of their
attention to the Lowell strikers and
paying little to those in other sections.
The reason is that the 5000 Lowell
strikers are becoming FESTIVE. They
have not been receiving their strike
pay of IS per week, which was prom
ised them when they went out, and
hunger is beginning to pinch them.
The wives and children are becoming
clamorous for an improvement in the
situation. Both sides, the employers
as well as the employees, are becom-
ing tired, though. with the prevailing
high prices of cotton, the employers
are not as anxious for a resumption
of work as the employees. There seems
to be some prospect-and it is to be
hoped that it will prove well founded
that the end of the trouble will be
reached in the next few days.

CALLS HARVARD MEN LoAFERs
Prof. Shaler Threatens to Stop Geol- ogy Lectures on Account of
 Rowdyism.

New York Sun.
 Cambridge, Mass.-Professor N. S. Shaler. dean of the Lawrence Scien- tific School, threatens to discontinue his lectures in geology unless there is less rowdyism among the students. A young teacher. who Is taking a post graduate course acted as substitute for Professor Shaler In giving a review of his lectures during the week prior to the examination of November 90, and was made a target for copper cents, chalk, books, old shoes and other mis- slles.
 The outbreak began the first day. and the substitute promptly adjourned the class On the following Wednesday the substitute again appeared and attempted to lecture This time the students were less particular as to what was thrown, and books and shoes formed part of the ammunition. Finally two eggs were hurled. One struck the screen on which the lantern slides were being thrown and the other landed on the floor. directly at the feet of the lecturer. The curtains were immediately released and the class dismissed.
 The matter was reported to Professor Shaler and on the following Monday he appeared before the 800 students of the geology course, and said that he had been Instructor at the institution for more than thirty years and during that time he had been accustomed to deal with gentlemen. He became very much excited and went on to say that for the two or three years classes of 'loafers" have heen coming into college, and that. as result of their actions, he could and would discontinue his lectures in the geology course.
