 Washington, Jan. 21. While the Senate has to wait upon the transmission of the Panama Canal treaty with amendments to the isthmus for ac- ceptance there, Senators who have doubt ed the legitimacy of the action of the administration, as we'll as those who haEe made up their minds that MT Roosevelt policy has involved violations of the law are busy studying all phases Of the ques- tion
 An incident of the spirit of investiga- tion is the demand for everything on tEe subject that has been said by the college and academic speakers and writers on ln- ternational law. It is remarked that 1t would indeed be a curious commentary upon our national life if the highest ac- credited instructors of the youth of the country should unite in condemning the conduct of the administration while at the same time the national legislature en- dorsed it by ratifying the canal treaty. A deliverance on the subject by coi- lege instructor which is just now most in demand Is that by pr. Theodore S. Woolsey. Professor of International Law in the Yale Law School. in his contriou- ton to the current lawyers periodical.

Selma Cotton Market.

The official quotations for middling cot ton on the Selma Exchange was at noon to-day 1873.
 An interesting feature of the cotton trade in Selma at present is the gradual diminution of the stock on hand. Last night the stock was 6.157, less than it has been in several months. The daily decline in bales on hand has been small. but il has been steady and the differences be- tween daily receipts and daily shipments have been easily notable. For the eev- eral weeks preceding January 1, the stock ranged between 5000 and 5000 bales and the present figure of little more than 5000 Is indicative of the beginning of the end It should not be forgotten. however that the receipts to date are 15,OOO in ex- cess of last seasons total.
 The movement yesterday was: Receipts 57, shipments 359; since Sept. 1, S2,020 shipments 75,s63; stock 6,157.

REWARD FOR MURDERER.
Unknown Man Who Killed Martin
 Ready is Wanted,

A reward of $25O was yesterday offered by Governor Jelks for the arrest of the unknown murderer of Martin w. Ready of Escambia County.
 The reward is conditional upon the ar- rest and safe delivery in the jail at Brew ton and the conviction of the murderer.
 The killing occurred at Bradley last December. From all accounts the taking of of MT. Ready was altogether brutal and cowardly. He was sitting in his home in the midst of his family when he was fired upon from the outside of the house.

Quarles, the States so- licitor in the Fourth Judicial Circuit. 1t was decided that Dr. Ross should defer his appearance.
