The New orIeans Cotton Market.

 ing 750 to arrive; delivered on contracts, 600 quotations unchanged. Futures opened 10 to 12 points lower, caused by declines

 ing by longs and a steady undertone
 alarmed shorts, who hurriedly went to
 cover and sent prices up on themselves.
 The chief feature early in the day was the
 covering by those shorts wno sold on the curb last night or at the close of the market yesterday. In the trading of
 the morning March first lost 10 points, at 1887, and then advanced to 1410; May lost nine points at 4.3O and advanced to 14A; July lost 10 points at 14.5S, and ad- vanced to 14.71. Leading bulls supported the market aggressivey until late in the day when rumors were spread around by the bear element to the effect that the
 Associated Press had received a dispatch announcing that war had been declared. The bears used this club with great vigor, hammering prices down 20 to 30 points near the end of the session, the
 market closing at about the lowest fig ures of the day. Net losses, S5 to E points.

The Empire of Korea.

Korea (which should be spelled with
a "K, " is small peninsula project
ing from the sou:he astern coast of
Asia southword from Manchuria. 1t
is bounded on the east by the waters
of the Japan Sea, and on the west by
the waters of the Yellow Sea. From
it's southern coasts the islands of
Tsushima are visible, and from Tsus-
hima the coasts of Japan are visible.
Roughly speaking, Korea is from
north to south 600 miles long, and
from east to west it has an average
width OF 135 miles. 1t contains 50, 600
square milns, or almost exactly the
area of our state of Kansas, being
nearly twice as large as the state of
New York, and one-third larger than
all of New England. The population
is estimat as low as 5000, 900 and as
high as 100000. Inasmuch as no
scientific census is ever taken, and in
asm1ch as the taxation depends very
largely upon the number of people in
any given district, it is to the inter-
ests of the authorities to whom the
taxes are farmed out to suppress as
far as convenient the precise number
OF people in their districts; hence, the
population of Korea must be de-
termined largely by guess. 1t is
probable that 100000 is about the
proper number.
The parallels of latitude that would
pass through the cities OF San Fran
cisco, Chicago, New York, Lisbon,
Rome, Constantinople and Picking
would pass through the peninsula of
Korea. The capitol, Seoul, a city of
a little over 100, 600 inhabitants, is To-
Gated in about the geographical cen.
ter of the country, and almost exactly
west, or east, of New York. Korea
was long known, and is yet known to
its inhabitants, as Chosen, and is
fancifully called by them, 1.-THE Land
of the Morning Quietness. or 1.-THE
Land of the Morning Calm" Until
very recently, it was also known as
"The Hermit Kingdom" because of
seclusion with which its inhabitants
had managed to surround themselves
until the latter half Of the nineteenth
century In 1897, the name was
changed from Chosen to Dali Han, or

of War;" by j. Sloat Fassett, in the

house, and he makes good one.
Just now an important ruling is up
to him with regard to the point of
order raised against an appropria-
ton of over $40, 900 for mileage
to members on account of the extra
session of congress. Some men,
bers are anxious to get this little
pin money, and others think that
they are not entitled to it. The
whole controversy arises over the
fact that the recent special session
did not end until the regular session
began. In other words, Congress
met in November and has been in
continuous session from that time
on. Members are allowed mileage
for each session, but inasmuch as
no time interviewed between the end
of the special session and the begin
ming of the regular session, they
were forced to remain here, and
consequently travelled from their
homes but once. Those opposing
the appropriation hold that to pay
double mileage under the circum-
stances would be nothing less than
salary grab. Congressman re-
ceive twenty cents a mile for travel
from their homes to Washington
and return.

Ralph w. Wheelodk, in his politi

ton whether the mere fact of hold
ing an office deprives a man of the
natural and inalienable rights OF
citizenship of whether abstentiOn
from politics means that he shall
conduct the business of his office
without regard to partisanship OF
political prejudice. Even the pres

partially, is in politics all of the
time, and properly so, if the princi-
Piles for which he stands are worthy
to be advanced. Not governor in

affiliations, but is playing the game
of politics from the time he goes
into office until he leaves it, al

cial functions he knows no factions

Capt. J. J. McCardy, of St. Paul,

Thursday. The captains official
record is we'll known in this city,

that department is expected of him.
If one may judge by the past, his
friends and admirers will not be
disappointed in this respect.
A local paper says that during an
interview which Governor Van
SAINT has with the President, Min
nesota's chief executive noted some
of the Presidents remarks on one
of his cuffs, and then inadvertently
sent the cuff in question, together
with it's mate, to the laundry.
After much search the governor was
again placed in possession of the
aforesaid cuff, and it is to be pre-
sumed that he has transcribed his
important notes upon more suitable
material, if not upon the tablets of
his memory. 1t is simply frightful
to contemplate the dire conse
qnences that might have followed
if these ''important'' state secrets
had been discovered by the washer
woman, or Chinese laundry man,
and the governors energy in seek.

document will be commended by all
