ENTERS FURTHER PROTEST
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, February 15.-(Special)-
Representative Thompson of Alabama
called at the postoffce department to en-
ter further protest against the establish
ment of postoffce at the Tuskegee
school of Booker T. Washington.
The postoffice at Tuskegee is rev
hundred yards from the school, where
sub-staton has been established and 1t
is declared by Representative Thompson
that the mail facilities are already suf-
ficient for the needs of the school and the
establishment of a new office is entirely
unnecessary.
The Tuskegee office is now of the sec
ond class and the establishment Of new
office cutting into the receipts would re-
duce the compensation of the postmaster.
The postmaster general is inclined to
agree with Mr.. Thompson. but the pres
sure is pretty strong for a new office
with relation of Washington's at it's
head.

Chaplain Hale Offers a Fervent Prayer
at the Opening, Abiding to the

Stricken Senator.
QUEEN ILLS BILL FAILS

Washington, February 15.-The suspense
concerning the condition of Senator Han
ma had appreciable effect on the senate
today. and as a result the proceedings
were marked by an unusual lstlessness
and depression
There were no speeches on any SUBJ
ject, and more attention was given to the
frequent bulletins announcing the con-
dition of the senator than to matters of
legislation. The entire time of the leg
islative session was devoted to routine
business, the most important matter
taken up being the bill providing for a
gratuity to former Queen Lilioukalani of
Hawaii, which was lost on a tie vote.
Several bills were passed.
Fervent Prayer Offered.
In his prayer opening the session of this
senate, Chaplain Hale referred to both
the critical condition of Senator Hanna
and the oriental war:
1--WE ask Thee" he said, ito consecrate
to us this day the house of death and
to consecrate to us the lessons of life
Immediately after the conclusion of the
prayer the senate, on motion of Mr.. Gull
lom, went itno executive session. The
doors were opened at 1882 o'clock and
legislative business proceeded with
Mr. Proctor, from the committe on
agriculture, reported the agricultural APP

ed and agreed to.
The house bill authorizing the directors
OF the census to cooperate with the state
of Michigan in taking the census of man
ufacturers of that state was passed The
bill also provides for like cooperation
in other states
The general business calendar then was
taken up and the following bills passed:
Bills Passed BY Senate.
Providing for the payment of $4,000 to
Jean Louis Legaire on account of his SER
vice in returning Sitting Bull and his fol-
lowers from Canada to the United States
after the Custer battle in Montana
Providing for the compensation of Off
GERS and men of the army who lost effects
In cyclone at Galveston and a hurricane
In Porto Rico in 1900.
Amending the laws relating to the sale
of detached lots of the public lands
AT O'Clock the bill for the payment of
100000 to Ex-Queen Liloukalan was taxi
en- up and the roll was again called on the
motion of Mr. Spooner to recommit the
measure to the commission of the Pacific
Islands. the call of last Friday having
failed to develop a quorum. The vote
resulted twenty-three ayes and twenty
seven noes.
The bill was amended so as to reduce
the appropriation to $i50000 The ayes
and noes were demanded on the final
passage of the bill and 1t was defeated
twenty-six to twenty-slx, a tie vote.

HIGHEST LEVELS
ARE NOW EXPECTED
New Orleans Trading Affected
by Mardi Gras
TODAY is A HOLIDAY
Feature of Yesterday Was Rumor Of
Senator Hanna's Death Which
Was Adverse-Caused
Heavy Selling.
TODAY IS A HOLIDAY

New Orleans February 15-While the
what with business, the days session in
the cotton market was exciting enough
for even the old timers. The principal
feature of the day, the rumor that Mark
Hanna was dead, was adverse and caused
heavy selling. Selling orders came almost
wholly from commission and private wire
houses and caused net decline for the
day of los and 100 points.
The market opened quiet and steady.
Prominent bulls gave support during the
morning and this caused prices to remain
steadily around the level of Saturdays
close. Short selling became heavier and
heavier as the day advanced and the
support of the bulls was not strong
enough to counteract it. During the noon
hour, prices commenced to take a swift
downward course. which was maintained
with one or two Interruptions until the
close. It was one-slded market
Enormous Short Interest.
1t is now generally stated that there is
a heavy, not to say enormous short in
terest In the market made up of outside
spectators. This fact is already giving
some brokers uneasiness, while other are
perfectly willing to execute orders for
short account, as they see nothing but
lower prices. There is undoubtedly a
strong bearish sentiment growing, but it
can scarcely be said to be fed on legiti-
mate features.
Several conservative brokers today
while talking on the floor of the cotton
exchange said that bulish features are
being persistently twisted until they have
a bearish import. Predictions are made
every day that some startling bull fea-
ture will develop that will put the short
side on the run with disastrous results
While there are more sellers in the mar
ket than buyers, a strong spot demand or
some other equally bullish feature may
turn up which will cause a reversal of
conditions.
To the Highest Levels.
Many brokers are confidently predict
ing that when shorts start to cover they
will find but few sellers which will result
in their forcing prices up on themselves
TO the highest levels of the season. This
was Illustrated to a small extent today
in one of the lulls in the decline. For
a few minutes short sellers were scarce
and several buying orders amounting to
only a few hundred bales made their ap-
pearance.
Before one of theri could be executed
at the crowded ring. prices had been
forced up 10 points, point by point. OF
course 1t goes without saying that at
these low levels there are no offerings
from longs; all offerings must come from
short sellers. At the height of the buy
Ing fever which resembled the present
selling fever, conditions were exactly the
opposite, all offerings came from the
longs, there being almost no short sellers
In the market. The market closed steady
and rather quiet
Tomorrow is a holiday in the local mar
ket and this fact restricted operations to
some extent. The census bureau report
on weights of cotton bales did not at
tract much attention, although 1t was
construed bullishly
