ference with Elliott Woods. architect

NAVY is NOT OPEN
TO SAXON ARCHDUKE
Gould Not Become an Off
Ger Until Naturalized.

When Archduke Leopold Ferdinand of
Princess Of Saxony. who renounced his
rank for love. telegraphed his parents
that he intended TO become an officer
of the United States navy he evidently
had not seen or heard OF section 1923 OF
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, which reads as follows:
''The officers of the vessels of the
United States shall in all cases be citi-
zens of the United States"
To become an American naval officer
the archduke must first become a natu-
rallied citizen. That takes FIVE years.
As he is thirty now. he would then
be too old to take the competitive ex-
animation for assistant surgeon. IL he
were a doctor. or for assistant paymas-
ter. if he had political influence enough
TO get the appointment.
The only way for him to get into the
line is TO enlist. work his way up to a
warrant grade, and il his record is good
secure designation for examination for
appointment as ensign. 1t is a pretty
stiff examination.
By special act of Congress the son OF
President Iglesias of Costa Rica was
permitted TO take the course at the
Naval Academy. When he was gradu-
piled for appointment to the United
States navy The Navy Department
found that it had no authority 10 grant
the request, and referred il to Congress.

cothran e co.'e Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert and Clay.
 New Orleans July 21.--Light receipts and nearly every other condition which would under ordinary circumstances tend to cause a sensational advance. seems to exist. excepting improved weather which for the moments acts as an offset to all bullish influences with prices holding steady, showing no decided tendency in either direction. The course of Liverpool this morning showed that market was being guided by local conditions and not influenced by the Irregularities of this side, for English mills need cotton to carry them through the season and can get very littIe from the United States. Later months were again easier than the near positions, evidently governed by weather reports and reports state that buyers are evincing little desire to oper- ate ahead. However, the prospect of ln- creased business in the near future is promising. Our opening found an accu mutation of selling orders, but the buying was equal to the emergency, and held the marget at to 1 points over yester- days closing figures. Liverpool cables read: Market feels the influence of more cotton being shipped to New York for delivery on contract"
 The dry goods market, which in the past has been factor in shaping prices, gives little evidence of activity.
 The government weather report today furnished nothing in the way of par ticulars of which the trade had not been previously advised and in consequence prices were not disturbed.
 Later in the session prices were carried upwards on support by the bull clique.
