KANSAS CATTLE RAlsERs,


Washington, Mar. 20. = The inter
state commission has announced its
decision in the case Of the Cattle Rails
ers Association Of Kansas, complain
ant, and the Chicago Livestock
exchange, intcrvenor, against the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy and other
railroad companies entering the city Of
Chicago. The commission holds that
the statute Of limitation does not ap-
ply to the suit Of the members OF the
association for damages and defines the
procedure to be followed in procuring
reparation through the commission.
The complainant and the intervenor
are given leave to show to what terri
tory,the through rate reduction OF 1896
applied and If it appears that there
was territory to which such reduction
did not apply and from which no re-
duction has been made, defendants
will be allowed to show, since condi-
tons may have changed subsequent to
the making Of the original order, that
the through rate from that territory is
reasonable and just Notwithstanding

Within a few Moments Cotton Foil
Nearly sl3 a bale.
THE suLlY FACED DISASTER
The Market slumped $50 points In
90 minutes, with Individual Losses
Of more thap Million Dollars

New York, Mar. 2i.--Daniel j. Sully
who has for Is months been the largest
figure in the cotton markets of the
world and who has bulled cotton from
7 cents pound to II cents a pound,
announced his inability to make good
his engagements on the New York cot
ton exchange, Within q few moments
cotton fell nearly $40 bale from the
highest figures Of the day. Many crash
es have been recorded, but probably
none has been accompanied by such
frenzy and confusion.
While there had been no premonition
Of the impending crash, no morning
Of the season had witnessed q more de-
moralized market In less than three
minutes after the opening 1lc had been
taken off the price Of cotton. Prices
went up and down until 1890 was
reached. May was down to 1880 in
less than thirty minutes July went
down to 1896.
Notice was posted as follows: "We
regret that we are unable to meet our
engagements and will therefore have
to suspend. (signed) Daniel sully &
Co."
For few seconds there was quiet
over the floor, then for time there
Mas pandemonium and the bearof reeds
sales.
1t was estimated that something like
75O,OOO bales of cotton were traded in
during the 20 minutes Of panic thatfol-
l6wedItheIannouncement and after this
100000 bales were forced by liquidation
or the selling out Of men whose mar
gins have been nearly or, quite wiped
out. VAS the market slumped $50 points
during this period, the loss falling on
this element amounted to something
more than 81 100000

torially express satisfaction over the
Sully failure which they urge should
be a warning to investors. G. W. Mac
Ara, president Of the Lanchashire cot
ton spinners' federation, said that the
suspension was an eventually but that
it was not even dreamed Of the previ-
Gus day in Manchester. No doub t
he said, it would be the relieving OF
the situation. 1t was Mr.. McAra's be-
lief that 1t would be some time before
confidence was again restored but,
owing to the great curtailment Of pro-
duction during the last year, the mar
kets Of the world must be almost bare
of goods.

The President Leaves Vacant Places
oi ResignIng Members.
JUST AS BoMAPAR7E PROPOSED.
This Action May Have Actuated The
Senate Committee in Leaving The
Dawes Commission In Tho indian
Appropriations Bill

Washington, Mar. 23.--Senator Long
rallied on the president and rendered
the resignation Of Ex-Governor Stanley
as member Of the Dawes commission
to take effect April l. The president
and Mr.. Long chatted at some length
concerning the Dawes commission and
its work, and the former said that he
would not appoint a successor to Stan
Icy. He added that ii other members
Of the commission resigned, he would
not appoint their successors This
means the dissolution Of the Dawes
commission without the intervention
Of congress The president believes
that the work remaining to be done
can be performed without the aid OF o
big commission and he will carry out
the recommendation Of the Bonaparte
report as well as he can. Breckenridge
and Bixby are expected to resign,
leaving Needles probably alone to com
plete the work that yet requires to be
done. 1t is said that the knowledge
actuated the senate Indian committee
in leaving the provision of the Dawes
commission in the Indian appropria-
ton bill as II came from the house.
Parsons, Kas.--Colonel 7. B. Needles,
who is in the city, denies that he has
resigned from the Dawes commission,
but REVISED to discuss the future Of the
commission or the Bonaparte rumor.

Federal Court Business.

said Judge Pollock Of the federal court,
"Thisis because the business originates
in those districts. The development OF
the oil and gas industry in southeast
ern Kansas is bringing on tremen-
dous lot Of litigation. The attorneys
there arehavilng good picking. Wyan-
dotte county furnishes more federal
court business than any other county
in the state. This is due to its prox-
unity to Kansas City, Mo-, and the
location Of many big industries within
