REJECTS MORLEY AMENDMENT
British Commons Upholds Fiscal
Policy of the Cabinet

A cablegram from London last night says:
BY a majority of 81 the house of commons
tonight defeated John Morley's amendment
to the address in reply to the speech from
the throne, censuring the governments ffs-
cal policy. which was moved by Mr.. Morley
in behalf of the opposition. There were 276
votes in favor of the amendment and 1921
against it.
This result. as forecasted in these dis
patches was q foregeRei conclusion. The
opposition did not entertain any idea that
it would be possible TO Gust the conserva-
tiyes. The division took the form of a Vote
of want of confidence in the government
which impelied MANY unionistS who to-
tally disagree with the idea of protection to
vote to keep Premier Balfour in power.
Both Balfour and Chamberlain were absent.
The action of the Irish party in voting
solidly against the government was tonight
succinctly explained 10 the Associated Press
by John Redmond. the Irish leader, as fol-
lows:
ireland has suffered in the past equally
from the protectiopist as from the free
trade policy of Engfa nd. We are determin-
ed to use the complications which have
arisen in the EngEsh sparties solely afor the
purpose of forwarding home rule We voted
against the government tonight not on the
merits Of Mr.. Morleys amendment, but be-
cause we regarded the vote one. of want
of confidence in the GOVERN llent We shall
strike in the same way against every gov
eminent, no matter what party it may be
drawn from. SO long as home rule is re-
fused"
! Neither the speeches tonight nor the d.
vision can be taken as an accurate indica-
ton of the probable trend of British opin-
ion the fiscal question In the Hobbies of
the house of commons 1t was frankly ad-
ulitted that votes were given to the gov
eminent which may be counted on the OPP
posite side when a general election on the
basis of free trade against protection takes
place.
Neither Mr.. Ackers- Douglass, the home
secretary, who led the house in the abb
sence of the premier. nor Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman. the liberal leader, who
summed UP the debate for the opposing
side. made much of an impression upon his
hearers.

COTTON BREAKS SIS A BALE.
Census Report, War Rumors and New
Orleans Advices the Causes.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: News of further Russian reverses
in the far east, reports of attempts of
New Orleans bulls to unload and bear
ish statement from the census bureau were
the pricipal causes contributing to a violent
break OF more than 100 points (S5 bale),
yesterday on the local cotton exchange.
The market closed weak, with last prices
as a rule the lowest of the day. The open
ing had been quiet. at to 10 points under
Saturdays close, and by noon. after sue
cession of recessions and part rallies May
stood at 1851 and July at 1870. Then came
a sudden slump on the announcement from
the United States census bureau that the
average bale ginned to the time of last
weeks report weighed 502.1 pounds, 2 /
pounds over the standard bale. This fig
ures out a round addition to the amount of
cotton already in the market, because light
bales have been counted on.
Under bear pressure the March option,
which closed on Saturday at 1882, was de-
pressed to 1907; May sold down to 13 %
and July to 1895. Following this there was
enough covering to steady prices slightly,
and the market soon became less active.
The Improvement was shortlived, how
ever, the market being soon again depressed
by a strong bear drive. In connection with
rumors of disagreements among the New
Orleans bull leaders

ton companies, the lowest bid for the COM
pletion of the structure being that submit
ted by the District Construction Company,
local firm, whose bid for the work ac-
cording to the specifications for design IA
was $750,00O, and according to the plans
for design "B" was $597 ,594.9S.
The specifications for design IA stipu-
late that all the trimmings of the bridge
shall be of stone, while the specifications
for design 3D. call for concrete conStruc-
tion below the coping. The total amount
now available for the completion or the
Connecticut avenue bridge is about $6io,-
600.
With the exception of the Penn Bridge
Company, all the contractors bid on both
designs. The names of the companies not

sails, and the amounts of their bids on de-
signs IA and B. respectively, were as

stated, is a recently organized company,
composed of Washington citizens Mr.. w:
H. H. Allen of this city is the president OF
the corporation. The announcement of the
