 NEW ORLEANS. April 14.--The cotton market to-day impersonated case of chilis and fever. The chill was supplied by continued heavy selling in which shorts as well as longs freely participated, and fever was sbstituted by reports of enor- nous spot transactions effected with ex- porters that contemplated nearby ship ment to foreign shores to result in q ma teriai diminution of domestic stocks Liv- erpool showed no signs of determ nation to do anything. Futures were inclined to act steady. as they should do out of consider aticn of the small stock on hand, but spots only found takers to the extent of 1000 bales at the decline of 22 points, equiv aient to s2 per bale.
 4 fresh wave of offering caused a further sharp depreciation here and urgent long liquidation was accomplished in an uncere- monious way. but when the greed for spots at prevailing concessions became known, prices proceeded to recover with lightning rapidity and previous sellers helped mater ialy in forcing the advance in the effort to cover. If anything. the heavy liquidation that has been effected recently should place the market inga healthier condition and in view of the light movement it ao- pears that the shot seller has but one chance that being the possibility of spin ners abstaning from further purchases of consequence during the remainder of the season

Quite large number of persons at
tended the social given by the Ep-
worth League of Maryland Avenue
M. 4. Church in the lecture room of

airy program was rendered. The pro-
gram was rendered by the young peo.
pie and especially pleasing was the

little folks, each of whom carried an
umbrella. After the literary part of
the occasion was over the young la

70 HAVE THE DROP HARNESS
The Independent Fire Company
No. 2 Will Greet Aid Along
These Lines

A very pointed lesson was taught
the members of the Independent Fire
Company by the delay in getting to
the Russell fire Wednesday morning.
The delay was occasioned by the fact
that it was impossible to harness the
horses with any speed. as the harness
in use is of the ordinary kind and not
calculated TO aid in speed.
Yesterday the friends of the company
came 10 the decision that a drop har-
ness, which could be constantly kept
in position for quick bitches, was
needed. Today Mr.. Samuel Rosen-
berg, accompanied by Captain Porter,
started out to secure subscriptions
They are visiting every business house
in the city ana are meeting with
great success. 1t is hoped that suffi-
cient subscriptions will be secured to
warrant an immediate order being
sent away for the harness.
BY means of this harness it will be
possible to make quick bitches. As
soon as the horses have become accus-
toned TO running under the harness it
will be possible TO be out of the house
and on the street with the equipment
IN less than a minute after an alarm
is received, provided there happens to
be sufficient men in the house at the
time to drop the harness and fasten
the snaps. Even though the fire oo.
cur at night and one man is on watch
he could have all the horses hitched
and waiting before the firemen could
reach the house. 1t is thought that
the cost of the harness will be made
good at the very first fire which occurs.

ing Nuisance.

As result of the great damage
which DR. @. b. Henkel alleges to
have been forced upon him by reason
of the actions of the members of the
Athletic Association an injunction
was issued against the board of gov.
ernors this morning.
In the bill of particulars filed in the
application for the injunction it is
claimed that much damage and annoy
ance is caused DR.. Henkel by reason
of the fact that the association, which
has the old opera house room in the
building occupied by DR.. Henkel as a
drug store engaging in play which
should be transferred to the outside.
Gas mantles have been destroyed by
reason of the vibration in the huild-
ing produced by the young men play
ing football, basketball and other noisy
games in the building. 1t is said that
the bottles in the drug store dance
about the shelves and threaten to fall
to the floor when the play is in full
swing.
Attorney Robert Moss appeared in
behalf of DIR. Henkel and swore out
the application for an injunction. 1t
was granted by Chief Judge Jones, of
the Circuit Court, and at once served
on the board of governors of the as
sociation, who are Messrs w. Z.

A NEW LIGHTING PLANT
Business Men of Annapolis Want
Cheaper Rates.

A very interesting meeting of the
Business Mems Association was that
of last night. The attendance was not
as great as was expected. but action
was taken which is calculated to
create considerable of a change in the
price of electric and gas lighting.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. Ridgely p. Melvin in the absence
of the president. After disposing of
a considerable amount of routine bust
ness, the matter of prices for lighting
was taken mp. This question has been
brought up for discussion many times
during the recent meetings. 1t is
claimed that the rates of electric and
gas lighting are exceedingly high and
are not commensurate with the service
rendered
After considerable discussion it was
decided to see what steps could be
taken with reference to having q
lighting plant equipped and operated
by the business men. There was also
some talk of seeing if the city could
not be interested in the project. A
committee composed of Messrs. George
O. Barton, Aaron l.. Goodman and
William Gardiner was appointed to
make q thorough canvass of the bust.

to see what support would be given

The Japanese Candidate

Leslie's Weekly of December con
tains the following article by Mrs.
Charles r. Miller, of Baltimore. The
article is illustrated with a picture of
Mr.. Asahi Kitagaki, the young Japa-
nese student who is studying at Viii.
mer's preparatory school for the Naval
Academy. Leslie's Weekly says:
Although the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis was designed
primarily for the training of young
Americans, it is an interesting fact
that in 1868 Congress passed an act
permitting japanese to be received as
students there. Since that time IA
young men from Japan have been ad-
mitted to the school. Six withdrew
before completing their course and s
were graduated. Among the latter
was Rear Admiral Uriu, who com
manded the japanese feet on Febru-
ary s last, when the Russian cruisers
Variag and Korietz were sunk. Sew
eral others have rendered distinguish
ed service to their country. Only two
other foreigners have ever been stu
dents in the Academy. There are no
Japanese on the rolls of the Naval
Academy at present, but Mr.. Asahi
Kitagaki, of Toxic, is at Annapolis, a
student at Professor Winners school,
preparing to enter the ranks next
year. He is young man of athletic
build and pleasing personality, and his
modest manner has won him host of
friends among his fellow students. He
likes America and is rapidly acquiring
the language is possessed of strong
native ability and exhibits to a mark
Il hA oh far Of ht
race in readily adapting himself to
our ideas and methods. He looks for
ward with pride to the time when he
may enter the Naval Academy as a
full. fiedged midshipman. The picture
accompanying the article shows him
in his favorite uniform-that of a
Japanese cadet which was made by
a school boy chum before he left
Toxic. /"
During a recent visit to Annapolis
Mrs. Miller had an interview with
Mr.. Kitagaki and he gave hor the
