COTTON KING SULLY IS
 HURLED FROM HIS THRONE

the report of Sully's failure was Q signal for the throwing of a large amount of stock on the market for sale.
 Fall in Stocks.
 As consequence, prices of many stocks fell from one-half to one and one half points. but there was an immediate steadying of the market. when it was announced that sully had no outstand- ing Stock Exchange contracts.
 sully came to New York from New Orleans about two years ago. He had been a cash buyer of cotton in the South for New England firms for four or five years. He established very expensive and luxurious offices in Broad street and cotton. grain and coffee.
 Late this afternoon the firm of D. J. sully ( Company gave out the follow ing statement:
 We have not assigned. We have been forced to suspend temporarily because of our inability to realize upon our immense holdings of spot cotton. to support the declining market. Investigation of our accounts is now being made. We have no doubt our assets will be enough to fully cover our liabilities"
 Mir Sullivan, manager of the firm. gave out the following statement this evening in behalf of Mir. Sully:
 We are going to make somebody sweat for this. MT. Sully hopes to be able to resume business at an early date. We consider this thing an outrage and we do not concede that MT. Sully has fail- ed. He has made temporary assign ment, being forced to this by the. de- velopments from the outrageous treach- cry and conspiracy on the part of the cotton bear clique"

of Providence. R. l.. one of the mem- bers of the firm. sent out a message by his secretary, which read:
 "No statement of any kind or descrip- tion. Mir. Sully directs me to say, will be given out from this office today. Pos sibly a statement will be ready early Sat- urday morning."
 Mir. Hadley later was quoted as stating that the firm would pay its debts in full and the suspension was due to the impossibility of meeting demands for large sums of money although these amounts were due the sully firm from European sources, sums that the quick slump In the market made payable too quickly for them to be able to meet.

Making a Mess of It.


 The Republican leaders have about come to the conclusion that every day Con- gress remains in session Is a day of damage to the party. The Republican politicians realize that they have at the head of their administration man who is to all intents, incorrigible as a mis- chief maker for harmony in his party. They know. too. that there has been So much rascallty in the departments that have lately come into notorfety, very largely through what they regard as the blundering methods of the administra- tion involving exaggeration of real wrong doing as we'll as casting suspicion upon the innocent along with the guilty, that they are painfully anxious to get away from here, lest there shall be reueti- ton of the tmpulsive revuIsion which seized members the day the House was brought almost to frenzy over the Post- office Departmental response to the Hay resolution respecting charges egalnst Congressfnen.
 The grave consterna4ion depicted in the faces of the veterans of the Republi- can side of the House when the general assault was made on both sides of the chamber upon the Postofiice Department. luRging in the sanity and integrity of the administration itself, will not be forgot ten in many a day. It was the very pie ture of distress in the demeanor of the old rams of the flock like Cannon. Payne and Dalzell which helped to bring a pause to the riot of indignation.
 The death of MT. Croft gave a day to think over the perils of the situation, and an opportunity for conferences at the White House and elsewhere The re- suit was the revolt was stopped. and now having taken further thought, 1t has been decided to-day through the Republican Steering Committee of the Senate after a visit to President Roosevelt that Con- gross shall adjourn by April 15.
 That action means that nothing will be done except to pass the appropriation bills and pass them with as little fuss

The market rallied about 3-4c a pound from the lowest before the close, which was quite steady. At the low price there was a loss of about $12.5O a bale from yesterday.
 All sorts of explanations were made for the suspension. One of the reasons given was that the New Orleans bull party had sold cotton, while Sully was pulling 1t in the confidence that they were supporting him. Another was that Sully's following In the market had sold their long cotton without advising with him. From two well-informed sources came a denial that there was any treachery from New Or leans. A cotton operator with New Or leans connections said that the bull party there was still buIlish on cotton.
 Another account that came from one of the six or seven best known cotton operators in this country was that the bear party had made a deliberate and well-planned attack to overwhelm Sully and had succeeded.
 Onslaught of Bears.
 The bears. according to this authority, had figured out the weakness of Sully's positiou. due to immense holdings of spot and contract cotton and to his ope- rations on the Liverpool market, and planned an attack on the market that would carry It down just far enough to make 1t impossible for sully to meet his margin calls, knowing that his failure would send the market 80 much lower that they could cover at figures to recoup them.
 No definite idea of Suliys commitment in the cotton market could be gotten from the other houses in the cotton mar ket One estimate was that he was long 9OO ono bales of May cotton alone. good authority stated that he did not believe Tco,,E{rued m Pace Five.l

Japan Will Endeavor to Guard Their

Washington. March 1S-The following report has been received at the State Department from United States Minister Griseom. dated Tokio. February %:
 n view of the fact that there are some twenty American missionaries in Fusan, and that they are unable to com municate by telegraph with MT. Allen at Seoul, I deemed 1t advisable to mention the matter formally to Baron Komura. Tn reply to my Inquiries. Baron Komura stated that ample measures were being taken to protect all foreigners in Fusan and the Japanese consul had been in- structed to use every effort to this end. An additional number of Japanese police are being sent to Fusan to be at the dis posal of the consul.
 Tn view of these precautions 1t seems hardly likely that the foreign residents at Fusan will be liable to any i'll treat ment other than that to which all non- contestants near a scene of war are sub iected.
