TEMPERATURES
 GENERALLY LOW Prices Advance in Spite of Bear
 Opposition SELLING CAUSES DEGLIN6
Market Is Finally Barely Steady to 2 Points Lower on All Options Except September-Sales
 Estimated 5oo,ooo Bales.

New York, September 17.-The cotton market opened weak at unchanged prices to a decline of , to points and at first showed a little further loss under the disappointing cables and liquidation, but almost immediately rallied and during most of the balance of the session ruled fairly active and strong on heavy cover ing, bulls support and buying from out side sources, following further adverse weather news Not only were tempera- lures over the belt generally low, but frost was indicated for the northern por- tions of the belt. The weather chart also showed heavy precipitations again in some sections of the belt and taken alto gether, the news was characterized on the floor as downright bad.
 Prices. which in the early morning had reached a level net to Il points lower' were advanced in spite of continued oppo- sition by certain prominent bear interests and realizing that the gains naturally attracted until a level net to Il points higher had been attained, with September selling at 11.4S; October 1O.O7; January 9.96; and December 10.01. Then offerings became heavier and in the last hour there was heavy selling by local bear interest, which in connection with realizing was heavy enough to cause decline almost as rapid as the advance. The market was finally barely steady to ' points lower on all options except September which was 15 points higher. All day sen- timent here was nervous and unsettled. Sales estimated at 500,000 bales.

WILL INSPECT WORK
 ON PANAMA CANAL
ADMIRAL WALKER AND TWO OTHER ENGINEERS WILL LEAVE NEW YORK NEXT SUNDAY FOR COLON TO APPRAIsE WORK.

Washington, April 7.-Admiral Walker, General Hains and Major Black the two latter of the corps of engineers, will leave New York next Thursday for Colon for the purpose of appraising the value of work now in progress on the canal, and which will be prosecuted by the French company up to the moment when the great property comes into the actual pos session of the United States.
 When the agreement to sell t.-e canal was signed by Secretary Hay and MT. Cromwell, there being no stipulation to the contrary, the company was not bound to continue the heavy expenditure on &C., count of labor and material and super intendence involved in the continuation of the work. It is claimed that such suspension would have worked harm which would have resulted in the loss of number of canal workers who have become experienced and inured to the climate. The canal company undertook to keep the work in progress, and now looks to the United States government for com pensation for the expenses involved in so doing. The subcommittee Is going to the isthmus to take check notes on the time the contract was signed, up to the date the United States assumes con trol.

POLICEMAN WON
 HIS LAND FAIRLY
SUPREME COURT DECIDES AN IN TEREsTING CASE GROWING OUT OF THE RUSH TO SETTLE NEW " OPENED OKLAHOMA LAND.

Washington, April 6.-Justce White de- livered the opinion of the United States Supreme court in the case of Thomas w. Potter vs. Mary Hale, involving claims to land in Oklahoma territory, growing out of the rush to settle newly opened land in 1889. Potter was employed on an Indian reservation adjoining the land. as a police officer. Acting in that capacity he ordered off the land, which he after wards located on, people who had gone upon it prior to the hour fixed for the stampede When that hour arrived he joined in the rush, and as he had only a quarter of a mile to travel reached it in advance of the others.
 The location was contested. The court today held that as he had taken part in the rush to the coveted land and had gone upon it from the outside he was entitled to the prize he had won. The decision of the Supreme court of Okla homa, which held against Potter, was reversed. The court affirmed the opinion of the Supreme court of Oklahoma in the case of Robert l.. Winebrenner Vs. Edward c. Forney, which was another sooner" case. Forney located on land in the Cherokee strip when that section was opened, entering from the Ponca Indian reservation. which was claimed to have been prohibited then.

SLAVERY DID GREAT GOOD.
pr. Parkhurst Says It Has Made the
 Negro Obedient.

New York. April 6.-The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst. in his sermon yesterday, touched upon one phase of the negro question. Compulsory obedience, he said, is not the ideal form, but ideal obedi- ence has to be reached through pre- liminary state of compulsion. Continuing he said:
 "It was well for the negroes in the south that. not being competent to be a law for themselves they had masters that were a law to them.
 They ought to be thankful, on the whole, that the institution existed, and such of them as are not yet drawn under any other system of governance would be better off if the institution still existed.
 Tt was slavery to be sure, and as such was irksome and grinding, but slavery in its essential essence Is only another name for subjugation to master, and that is purely external mastery, and until a man can master himself he is exceeding ly unfortunate not to have some sort of slave master to master him"

 Driver and Drives "scabs" Off.

The eighteen men in the second bus were safely landed at the company's boarding house and will go to work in the morning
