e. E. FIERCE a CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

(By Private Wire from Gibert Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-There was a difference of opinion concerning the condi- tion in Manchester. Early cables stated that large business was doing and that spinners were expected to buy freely at once. Later cables conveyed the informa- ton that spinners in Manchester refused to respond to the advance. The action of Liv- erpool signified nothing out of the ordin- ary. excepting a willingness to follow the lead of American markets. It is evident that foreigners watching events on this side closely and the retarded progress of the new crop is not being overlooked. The establishment of higher prices here pre- scented the temptation for recent purchasers to take profits and a large operation in New York supposed to be representing some Wall Street interests were said to be heavy sellers in the metropolis to liauldate long cotton. This pressure occasioned a de- cided setback. but fair demand was in evidence for the new crop months a re- suit of additional damaging rains in Tex and portion of Mississippi There some fear of the visible supply state ment failing to show & sufficiency of spin ners takings. and the absence of. a serious inquiry deterred friends of the staple from engaging actively. but developments in this connection are eagerly scanned and any fla vorable turn will be promptly acted upo.

VIRGIN FAUNcE's COTTON LETTER.

NEW YORK, May e.-Cotton futures in the local market to-day opened firm in tone with first prices at an advance of to Is points The strength was mainly the re- suit of scattered buying for the account of shorts The latter were nervous over the strength of the European market, while in addition there was talk of too much rain in some parts of Texas. The weather map showed heavy rains in southeastern Texas. Continued apprehensions of manipu- lation in the near options were also fea- ture in causing strength in that the bears appeared to have reached the conclusion that it Is a good policy at the moment to hold off. Expectations of heavy decrease in local stocks in the near future were also a matter for consideration, while the Southern bull leaders were said to be pre- pairing for aggressive action in the market. The trade a whole was moderately active but the outside orders through wire houses were only of moderate proportions The spot markets were strong in tone. There was a good demand generally and some of the sellers stated that the demand was more general whereas few days ago buy were only out after certain grades. The insight figures pleased the longs, and bearish interests in many quarters were disposed to work for cover. The late market was quite nervous. but throughout the day there was a relatively firm feeling. although the room interests were mainly in control of the situation. The insight for the week was figured at ALSO, against S5,767 last year and 56.70s in 1902 and s2.4ss in 1901. The estimated port receipts for the day were 5000, against s,452 for the same day last year. Manchester reports yarns steady. cloths in fair demand.

 NEW YORK. May s.--The very satisfac- tory, Liverpool cables induced considerable buying and some shorts covering. which held the prices firm during the first hour. but on the advance the bulls seemed ds- posed to take profits, The strength in Liv- erpool is considered due to buying from AL exausiria.
 It Is generally conceded that a squeeze is easily possible and the most aggressive bull ing now seems to come from New Orleans. The bears contend that a bearsh visible supply statement will be out tomorrow. bur the movement continues extremely light compared with last year.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-Attention has

case by the dOcketrg in the Supreme Court
of the case of Petit. United States mar
shall of the Indiana district. vs.. Thomas +.
Walshe." The name Walshe is an alias
for Lynchehaun.
The case attracted much attention
throughout the country last fall. Lynche-

He escaped to this country. but was seized
in Indiana on warrant issued By a com

as TO whether, under the treaty with Great

PAIR OF DETERMINED
FIGHTERS MADE FRIENDS
Root and Taft Clashed Once Be
fore, but Understanding Made
Them Allies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Preparations
are making at the War Department for the
transfer of the secretary's office from Sec
rotary Root to Secretary Taft The new
secretary will be given a hearty welcome
at the department here where he is eX-
pected to arrive Wednesday afternoon. Sec
rotary Root has issued cards for a large re-
ception Friday evening in honor of his sue
cessor. The Thursday evening preceding
Senator Alger will give reception in honor
of the retiring secretary, at which Governor
Taft will be present.
The fact has developed that Secretary
Root himself, originally selected Governor
Taft for the important post of Governor OF
fhe Philippines. and the reasons for the
purchased abroad the big steam yacht Con-
queror and when the vessel came TO New
York the customs collector sought to i'm
pose a heavy duty on her as an imported
article Mr.. Vanderbilt retained Mr.. Root
to defend the case. The present secretary
and Mr.. Taft. then solicitor general, met in
the legal arena of the United States Su-
preme Court when Mr.. Root won his case.
But the argument made by the solicitor
general excited his admiration and when
Secretary Root cast about for the best man
for the delicate and difficult post of Gov
ernor of the Philippines he chose Mr.. Taft.
AS showing the tenacity of his opinion it
is said that one of the first acts of the new
Governor on taking his place at Manila was
to incorporate in the new navigation laws
for the islands provision used by the pre-
ceding Spanish government based on the
very principles commended for when he had
been defeated by Secretary Root. The lat
struck the proposed law out of the Philip
pine code.

TWO BOOMS THAT ARE
LOST OR GONE ASTRAY
Mr.. Miers and Mr.. Shively Are
Missed in the Democratic Gossip,

VIEWS OF CRUMPACKER

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Nothing has
been heard recently of the vice presidential
boom of Representative Miers, of Indiana.
So also has the Shively boom taken a place
in the rear The bee undoubtedly buZzes
in the Shively bonnet. but Judge Miers has
no aspirations, although he appreciates the
compliment conveyed in the mention of his
name for second place on the Democratic
ticket Representative Mers is highly re-
spected by his Republican colleagues from
Indiana, well those from other States.
He is conservative, and does not train
in the House with the wild and untamed
disciples of Bryan and Hearst. Miers is a
close friend of Minority Leader Williams,
and is member of the Democratic "kitch-
en- cabinet. correspondents call the
chosen few recognized as the advisers of
Speaker Cannon.
Representative Crumpacker was very
much annoyed on his recent return from
Indiana by a correspondent who said: Are
you still with Roosevelt. Judge?'
Am / still with him." was the response.
'Of course i am
Judge Crumpacker is one Republican who
believes that there is no sentiment among
the people against the President. The Val
paraiso statesman is an ardent admirer of
both the President and Senator Hanna
He does not believe that the latter is in
any sense candidate, and has a firm be-
lief in the sincerity of Mr.. Hanna's public
declarations relative to the nomina ton.
There is a good deal of curiosity as to what
passed between the President and Judge
