associated chambers to be held in Lon don this month Thus will be afforded an opportunity of obtaining a definite pronouncement of the views of the gen. eral body of commercial men through out the kingdom, which cannot fail to materially influence the end in view.
 Those who ask for the appointment of q minister of commerce do not do so in any spirit of complaint or an,- mostly against the board of trade, but because they believe that the interests of the country would be best served by the establishment of the desired ministry. There is no inclination to disparage the good work performed by the department, which has rendered great services to commerce. frew peo- pie are aware of the varied duties en- trusted to the care of the board of trade; but if mention is made of some of the most important, such as the regula ton and control of shipping, fisheries and harbors. labor and arbi- tration in labor disputes. the safe guarding of the public interest in re- gard to railways, the conduct o1 bank ruptcy laws, the collection and dissem- ination of particulars as to tariff alter atfons and other commercial infcrma- ton, some idea will be gained of the magnitude of the interests with which 1t deals. And yet the department which has charge of all these important com mercial matters is not on an equality with other government departments, like the home office and the foreign office, it's head only receiving a re- muneration amounting to about two fifths of that of principal secretary of state. What is wanted for commerce is a department which snail be in a position to give it's undivided attention to the furtherance of commercial inter- ests only. so that the distinction be- tween a board of trade as now exist ing and a ministry of commerce, as proposed, is not a lnere matter of words, but constitutes vital difference in principle"

MOTHER AND CHILD
 DIE OF STARVATION
Though Slowly Dying, No Appeal
 Was Made for Help.

Berwick, Pa, March Mrs. David Herring and her 2-weeks-old child of West Berwick are dead as the result Of neglect. exposure and starvation. The woman had been suffering from hcmorrhages for some weeKs, and her husband was compelled to remain away from work to care for her.
 Although the family purse had be- come exhausted, their condition was not known by either the neighbors or authorities.
 During the recent cold weather the family had no coal and nothing to eat.
 The child died a few days after birth, and the husband carried it to Main vile, distance of fifteen miles, and buried it himself.
 The family moved from Mainville a short time ago, and were unacquainted in Berwick
 When d neighbor called yesterday and found the woman enarly dead, he at once reported the case to the charity authorities who did all in their power to save her life, but she died this morning.
 A husband and two sons survive her.

In a Reply to an Inquiry on the Sub feet He States That Only Worth and Efficiency Are Taken Into Consideration by Him.

Atlanta. Ga. March IA letter from President Roosevelt to the editor of the Constitution in reply to a request for an expression concerning a recent let ter by Harry Stillwell Edwards of Ma con, in which Edwards made the state Inent of the presidents position in the matter of the federal appointments in the south, holding that the president has been misunderstood, says: The prime tests I have applied have been those of character, fitness and ability, and when l have been dissatisfied with what has been offered within my own party lines, I have without hesitation. gone to the opposite party, and you are oi course aware that l have repeat odly done this in your own state of Georgia. 1 certainly shall not treat mere color as a permanent bar to hold ing office, any more than 1 could SC treat creed CT birthplace-always pro- vided that in other respects the appli- cant or incumbent is a worthy, well behaved American citizen.
 Am I not right in saying that fed eral officeholders whom I have appoint ed throughout your state, as body mon and women, are of a high order C1 efficiency and integrity? If you know Of any federal Oficeholder in Georgia of whom this is not true, pray let me know at once. l will welcome testi- TnOry from you or from any other rep utable citizen which will tend to show. that a given public officer is unworthy; and, most emphatically short will be the shift of any one whose lack O. worth is proven

THIEVES IN WRECK
 ROB DYING ENGINEER
While Pinned Under Locomotive

Washington, March 1.-The senate has more than enough work to keep it occupied in the last week of the ses- sion, and do the best it may there will be much left undone when tfe gavel of the president pro tenn shall fall to close the final sitting at noon on Wedrcs- day
 Tuesdays session will be continued until noon Wednesday and the senate will be in almost continual session day and night until then. Aside from the appropriations bill and the conference reports preference will be given the Aldrich bond deposit bill.
 There is great anxiety to get action on the Philippine tariff bill and while there is opposition to this measure, it is intimated that this antagonism might cease in case oi a cessation oI efforts to pass the bond deposit bill but Aldrich is not disposed to yield to this kind of argument
 A final attempt will be made to press the Panama canal treaty to a conclus- ion in the hope that Mir. Morgan may relent in his opposition and allow the treaty to be ratified rather than force an extra session of the senate. His friends say, however. that he has re such intention and they add that he is willing to accept the full Tesponsibili- ty for the called session.
 Senators generally, therefore, have given up all hope of avoiding an extra session, and are nCw concerned prir- cipally in the time when it shall begin and the length of time it shall occupy.
 The principal if not the only duty of the extra session will be the considera- tion of the Panama treaty and the Gu ban reciprocity treaty.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 9.-The stock market
developed rather acute weakness today
and the volume OF sales rose 20 more than
double the recent average. The llqnlda-
ton in New YORK Central and the con
tinued pressure to sell United States
Steel were the disturbing factors. There
was no definite news 10 account for the
marked weakness 81 New York Central,
but the tape was regarded as giving
ground for enormous eunjeeturcs These
took form in various surmises as to meas
ures to be adopted by the corporation
TO secure the capital which will lie re-
quired to carry on the vast terminal
and ether improvements which have been
undertaken. The fat OF this capital re
quirement Is well lown and he yalla-
tions in todays rumors had to 10 simply
with the manner of raising it.
There were ruI9prs of projected issue
of new stock. ef 4 bond Issue and OF a
temporary loan on the security OF notes.
The rumor was that loan of something
| like SIS, 900 900 would be negotiated the
rumor as circulated carrying the further
detail of an interest rate to be paid at
6 per cent. The downward plunge OF
nearly 4 points in New York Central was
| the event upon which the whole market
hinged Selling of the Steel stocks was
aggravated by the Iron Ages showing OF
/ increased rate of accumulation of pig iron
and the slow recession in the Steel mar,
ket The announcement just before the
close of the market of the engagement
of S2O00,000 in gold for export on Satur
day helped the late weakness. Declines OF
to 2 points were quite general, and
St Paul Reading, Norfolk and Western

Barbee e. Co.'s
Cotton Letter.

New York, July 9.-The market today
was decidedly firmer, that is to say, yes
steadicr undcrtone and less irregularity
in the course of prices AS was natural
on the first day of recovery prices moved
around rather uncertainty and sentiment
lacked confidence during the greater part
of yesterdays session. Today, however,
there were more buyers in the market in
all options and the outlook seemed clearer
After a slight setback following the open
ing, commission house orders for the pur-
chase of December and January began to
come in and the market improved. Re
ports from Liverpool showed better
spinning demand over there and there
was a noticeable increase in the invest
ment buying in such options as October,
December and January in this market.
1t is now known that the supply of cot
ton at the close of the year will be at
about record figures as regards smalness
and this will result III an exceedingly ac-
tive demand for the first of the new crop.
This would be natural under any condi-
tions and now that the New Orleans pool
seems bent on closing as many mills as
possible by charging exorbitant prices for
the cotton owned by it, there will be a
very liberal demand for cotton during the
early fall months We have received
trustworthy advices that fully rs per
cent. of the New England mills will shut
down for three or four weeks during
August. Weather conditions were again

pErriGRE v STREET NOW.
Aldermen Forbid Track-laying by the Southern
Beyond Certain Point
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, n. c., July 9.-There was a
special meeting of the Board of City Al
dermen this morning held for the pur-
pose OF passingg an order forbidding the
Southern road from taking possession of
Pettigrew street. 1t looks very much
like there is going to be more litigation
and lot of ia parallel case with the
now famous Peabody street litigation.
Pettigrew street runs along the South
ern road, on the opposite side from Pea
body street A few days ago permission
was asked of the Board of Aldermen for
the Southern to put in side track along
the side Of this street. 1t has since de-
veoped that it was the intention of the
Southern to run a track up the street to
Chapel Hill street, d distance of about the
length of three blocks, and that while a
portion of the distance would be on the
side of the street at one place for quite
a distance the track would be in the mid
die of the street, which is newly macadam-
lied.
special meeting of the Aldermen was
called for yesterday afternoon, but it was
impossible to get quorum and another
meeting WIS Cdlfeu lHlS morning dI IL
O'Clock. In the meantime the Mayor and
four members Of the Board of Aldermen
visited the territory and looked over the
situation.
At the meeting this morning an order
was passed forbidding the Southern from
laying a track UP the side of the street
further than the intersection of Carr
street, about one-fourth the distance to
Chapel Hill, and forbidding even any of
this distance to be out on the macadam-
lied street.
Just what will be done about the mat
ter remains to be seen. II the Southern
respects the order of the board then
there will be no trouble, but if this is not
done then the courts will be applied to
for protection. If necessary an injunc.
ton will be asked for by the city au
thorities. Up to the present time, how
ever, the Southern has shown no DISPOSE
ton to continue the track up the street,
in fact that point has not been reached.

satisfactory today, though reports of in
sect damage continue to be received from
Texas. We cannot but feel that the pur-
chase of December and January around
lie. is to be advised, and the very first
unfavorable weather developments will
result in sharp advance in those posi-
tons. 1t will be remembered that cot
ton sold in the fields of Texas at Toe. a
pound all through August, September and
october, in 1900. and the situation this
year favors even higher prices than pre-
vailed at that time.
