Upon to Discipline Cosgrove.


SPOKANE, Wash, July 1.-The
troubles of the republican state orga-
nization multiply daily, and there are
evidences that the nagging of Candi-
date Coon by Chairman Palmer has
been but an effort to divert the atten-
ton of the voters from a more serious
danger to the larger part of the ticket
And there is evidence, also, that the
dangerous situation, from republic
can standpoint, is not confined to the
state ticket alone.
1t is coming to be realized that the
same fate awaits Candidate Mead that
was met by Candidate trink four
years ago. and it is known, also, that
Candidate Rudkin for the supreme
court bench and Candidate Atkinson
for attorney general, are as good as de-
feated for reasons that the average
voter must consider sufficient.
But now comes the story of utter
treachery to the national republican
ticket, and from source too we'll au-
thenticated to be successfully denlel.
The charges in this connection, like
those in the case of the state candl-
tirely from republican sources and not
from the democrats.
1t is openly asserted that Samuel G.
Cosgrove, who heads the republican
electoral ticket in this state, is bit
ter opponent of President Theodore
Roosevelt and that he does not hest
tate to express his contempt for the
president in the most public manner.
It is said that he has done so since the
adjournment. of the state convention
| in even stronger terms than before the
presidents nomination.
Hatred for Roosevelt.
| Mr.. CosgrOve. it is said, INDUCES in
fine sarcasm when speaking OF the
president. No democrat has ever gone
further in declaring that Roosevelt is
| unsafe" than has Mr.. Cosgrove. He
says the solid business interests of the
country have no confidence in him and
that he is likely to take the bit in his
teeth at any time and run away.
He is said to speak by the card in
this connection, as he has a relative
or very close friend who is a trust
magnate and from him Mr. Cosgrove
has learned with what distrust the
business interests of the country re-
gard Mr.. Roosevelt. He believes Roose-
Welt to be unsafe and a real menace to
the solid business interests Of the
United States, and from the way he
speaks of him, must certainly regard it
as a dangerous thing to elect man OF
/ this kind as president. Mr.. Cosgrove
has been heard to say that if the
country were called on to face a finan-

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Actual Work VIII Begin After tire
Commission Spends a Few wceizs
on the Isthmus-

Washington. March 19.-In con-
cIuding his hearing before the House
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce today, Admiral Walker,
president of the Panama canal COM
mission, stated that actual work on
the canal would be begun after the
commission had made a stay OF a few
weeks on the isthmus, for which it
was to sail March 2Sth. The arrange
mentS for this work Will be completed
in Washington, where the commission
is to have one of its headquarters
Admiral Walker, in answer to a uues-
ton. said that a large number of i'm
spectors would be employed by the
commission. These inspectors would
be engineers and he did not want the
law to provide that they should be
selected through the civil service
commission.
Admiral Walker advised that no re-
quirement of law should make IL nee
essary to do the work by contract.
If this should be the case he believed
contractors might combine to the dis
advantage OF the government
1t was the intention of the COM
mission, he said, to continue actual
work on the canal. as now being car
ried on by the French company in
order to demonstrate the exact cost Of
such work.
The engineering feat OF the whole
enterprise was explained to be the
construction of the Bohio dam. Il
will be necessary to 60 120 feet be-
low sea level to get the proper foun-
dation for this dam.
The admiral, however. had no doubt
that it was feasible to construct the
dam On the question of a sea level
canal. Admiral Walker declared posi-
lively that in his opinion it would
never be necessary to go to the ex-
pense of constructing such a canal.
A lock canal would do all the work
required and cost much less.

MINISTRY CRUMBLING AWAY.
Premier Combes' Recent Parliament
ary Reyerses Makes Situation Pre-
cariOuS.

Paris, March 19.-The situation OF
Premier Combs ministry is gradually
becoming precarious as a result of it's
recent parliamentary reverses. 1t is not
considered that any immediate crisis
will occur. but even the best informed
government quarters describe the min
istry as gradually crumbling away.
Some Of the recent majorities have
been below the traditional twenty,
which IS the limit of safety. The
gradual shpping Of NJ. Combes strength
is not due to the pending law suppress
ing all forms Of congregational teach
ing, as his majorities have been steadi-
ly maintained on that question but the
difficulties are mainly due to socialist I
measures for working mems pens ons
and employment agencies. 1t is beiiev-
ed he will be able to pass the law OF
congregations about Easter and with
this principal work accomplished. II is
not expected that he will wish to re-
main in Office The names of NJ. Mi
ler and Andettene are the most often
mentioned in connection with the pos
sible of the ministry.

Russian Squadrons Trying to Get To-
gether.

st Petersburg. March 19.-The where
abouts of the Vladivostok squadron is
profound official secret. but there are
those here who believe that the
japanese may wake up some morning
to find that the two divisions of Rus
sia's Pacific squadron have effected a
iuncture.
The report that seven Russia war
ships were sighted the other day on
Gensan creates much speculation here
as to whether they could be the yes
sells of the cruiser division under Cap
tain Reitzenstein. 1t is considered pos
sible that the ships sighted were these
of Captain ReitZenstein. whose object
| if he ventured SO far down the coast
could hardly be anything except to sip

! have already run the gauntlet of tho

The Day on the New Orleans Market


New orleans, March 19.-The cotton
market opened excited today, prices
ranging from points down TO Il up,
compared with yesterdays close. There
was a decided advance shortly after
the opening, but conditions were un-
settled
Unusual interest attached to the
opening OF the market as result of
the Sully failure and when the bell rang
there was a large crowd of brokers
around the ring. Soon after the open
ing a decided upward tendency devel-
oped and prices advanced until May
was 81 points higher than yesterday,
at 1880 and July was 40 points higher
at 1419 The advance was mainly due
to a surprisingly good Liverpool mar
ket After the first half hour, New
York displayed weakness and the local
market was quick to follow the decline
which brought May down to 1885 and
July to 1880 The ring was too busy
to allow much discussion of Sully's
failure The belief grows, however
that he will meet his obligations, dollar
| for dollar There were no new deVel-
opments locally in this direction.
The short session of the market was
marked by nervous and wide huctua-
| tions. Toward noon the tone became
steadier and prices commenced to go
higher after every recession FIuctua-
| tions were some times for 20 points al
a time The market closed steady.
