BIG COTTON SPECULAT0RS

One Faction Scalps ON the Bull side,

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Oct 12-The same conditions
prevailed in the cotton market to-day as
obtained yesterday. Trading was smaller.
but of the same character, and likewise
the fluctuations. There is further evidence
of in and out operations on an extensive
scale by the leading spectators. with one
faction scalping on the bull side and an
other intrenched on the bear side Of the
market. and endeavoring to check the ad-
vances of the bulls
Prices opened with a decline OF about D
to points. The market hardened shortly
afterwards recovered all this loss and
subsequently advanced to the level OF
about points over last nights closing.
The market weakened during the late

NEW ORLEANS MARKET PUZZLING.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New Orleans. La. Oct 12.-The Times
Democrat tomorrow will say:
Yesterdays cotton market was neither
a very tame or a very large affair. The
public held few if any hands in the game.
and it quickly narrowed to a few rrofes-
sionals whose weightiest argument Tor the
moment lay in broader bidding anil offer
ing than the less obstreperous men around
them dared TO indulge in.
But all this was of a manipulative char
acter. The appearance of a new element
on the bull side in New York had some
temporary effect here. For the time being
the influence of the farmers stubborn; de-
mands was lost signt of in a less s;renu-
Jus spot market than the trade had l. oked
for. but as yet he has shown no sign of
weakening.
Until he does the spinner must reckon
him the most important immediate factor
with which the trade has to deal Just
now the talent wisely has its weather eve
wide open. Should the threatened West
Indian storm show up il might add n big
trump card TO the farmers already suspi-
ciousiy strong hand

The session was held in ST. Malachy's

duly elected as members of the trio from
councils 4 and {, respectively and in their

Convention Provides for In
creasing Strike Fund.

Indianapolis, Jan. 26-President John
Mitchell, Vice President Lewis and Sec
retary- Treasurer Wilson of the United
Mine Workers have been reelected with
out opposition, according to the vote Of
the convention announced today. The
full vote of the organization was not
cast. Mitchell receiverd 1888 votes,
Lewis 81, $40 and Wilson 91,S75.
The report of the scale committee
was adopted. Indianapolis was select
ed for the next national convention.
a committee was appointed to draft a
memorial in honor of the Harwick mine
victims, and adjournment was taken
till tomorrow afternoon. The United
Mine Workers practically completed
their work by deciding on the demands
to be made on the central competitive
field.
The report of the scale committee
asks the mine operators to resign the
run of mine mining scale in the four
districts: that the absolute run of
mine basis be adopted; that the diff
ferential of seven cents in Illinois be
established in Indiana, where the diff
ferential is 10 to u cents, and in Ohio
and western Pennsylvania where 1t
ranges from II to 25 cents. There is
also demand for uniform wages for all

The mine owners have authorized the
levying of Is cents a month in addition
to the present 10 cents per capita tax for
the support of strikers. This increase will
go into effect at once and on a basis of
a membership of 100000 in good standing.

STORRS GIVES UP.
Public May Hereafter Inspect
City Health Records.

With the opening of a brand new set
Of record books in the Office of the city
physician, new system is to be adopt
ed by the department, and the plan is,
as announced today by Sanitary sar-
geant r. P. Pay, TO keep all the records
open for the public.
Since City Physician Storrs took Of
fee. his plan has been to suppress all
information about contagious diseases.
This plan has not been much of a sue
cess, and people did not like it. The
new set of record books will not be kept
under lock and key but will be where
they are easily accessible, as they al
ways have been prior to DIR. Storrs adj
ministration.
Mr.. Pay stated today that he had
never received any instructions to keep
the record books secret. He said the
only reason he knew of why the old
books were not shown was because they
did not give an accurate report. G. L.
Vanderpool, who preceded Mr.. Pay in
office, received positive instructions not
to show the books, and Mr.. Pay re-
fused to show them because Dr.. StorrS
had not told him to show Them
The new record books are very elab-
crate, and if the health officers are able
to get the information necessary, they
will be a valuable improvement over
that spaces are provided in the new
books for a great deal of information
which the ordinances do not require
anybody to furnish the city physician.
The ordinances can be easily changed
to remedy this defect, however. The
State Journal has advocated an i'm
proyement in the system of record
keeping in the health department, and
it seems that at last the change is to
be made.
There are three books. the one for
deaths, one for births and one of con-
| tagious diseases.
In the birth-record book, there are
spaces provided for the insertion of the
| following data: name of child, number
of child, sex, color, date of birth, place
| of birth, alive, legitimate, labor diff
| cult and cause; name, age and nativity
of mother; name, age and nativity OF
| father, reported by, postoffice address
date of return.
The death record. which is of great
| Importance in many legal proceedings

| care It provides for the following in
formation: Date of report, name, sex
/ color, age, occupation. old soldier. date
! of death, single or married, nationality

WHY KELLY LAUGHS!

Tom Kelly. treasurer of the state of
Kansas. who was down in Johnson
county Saturday doing his best against
Governor Bailey and for Senator Bur-
ton, must have many rich laughs when
he gets by himself He sees a goods
portion of the state all wrought Up over
increased taxation. He sees the fell
lows hammering Bailey. when Bailey
had nothing to do with it. Mr.. Kelly
knows that Bailey is innocent.
Mr.. Kelly knows that the legislature
passed appropriations and the appro-
priation would have been larger if
Bailey's friends had not been against
certain bills which would have In
creased the appropriations a million
dollars.
After the legislature got through with
the matter it was then up to Mr.. Kelly
who with Secretary Burrow, constituted
a majority of the state board of equali-
zation.
This board had it in it's power to in
crease the valuation of all the prop
erty of the state. They did increase the
valuation of your property and my
property TWENTY-FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS. and left the railroad prop
erty practically as it was before
Every merchant, every manufacturer
and every farmer in this state is pay
ing more taxes on account of Tom Kel-
ly's actions; Tom Kelly who dominated
the railroad board and made Burrow
act with him; Tom Kelly who decreas-
ed the valuation in his own county for
personal reasons at public expense:
Tom Kelly who took from his county
unlawfully one thousand dollars and
was compelled to disgorge and did dis
gorge.
The idea of prosecuting and blaming
a straightforward, honorable man like
| Governor Bailey, when Kelly is to
blame. Why doesn't Hoch talk about
these things? He knows Kelly is re-
sponsible; he knows Kelly's record.
Must he say nothing about Kelly be-
cause Kelly, like himself, is against
