Secretary Wilson Stands Pat.

Washington, July 10.-That Secre-
tary Wilson intends to take no step
backward in his report on the cotton
leak investigation was evidenced to-
day by the statement that he was not
afraid of any libel suit which might
be filed against him by Mr.. Price or
others mentioned in the report. In
fact, he said he would welcome such
action because it might be the means
of developing such facts not already
uncovered and which it was desirable
to know.
This is a quarrel among gamblers, :"
3e said, brought about by the
dissatisfaction of some of them in not
citing what they thought was their
due. have nothing to take back. AS
the head of an executive department
of the government it was my duty and
right to give to the public the result
of the investigation by the secret ses
vice agents into the charges which
had been filed leading up to the dis
missal of Mr.. Holmes"
The secretary added that he haG
given consideration to Mr.. Prices re
quest as presented through his attor
ney, William NJ WINS of New York
"to withdraw the unjust, offensive and
unsustained charges and implications
and had reached the determination tt
take no further action in the matter
He said he would not communicate
with Mr.. Price or his attorney in any
way.

Mr.. Price In Washington.

Washington, July 10.-Theodore H.
Price, of New York, arrived in Wash
ington Sunday, and, through his attor-
ney, requested Secretary Wilson to
withdraw what Mr.. Price characterized
as the unjust, offensive and unsustain-
ed charges and implications" contain
ed in the report made recently in con-
nection with the removal Of Edwin 8.
Holmes, Jr., assistant statistician Of
the deratment of agriculture.
Mr.. Price stated later that Secretary
Wilson has his request under consider
alton.
Secretary Wilson told Mr.. Price, as
he had William M. Irvine, his attor-
ney, earlier in the day, that he had
no statement to make along the lines
requested. The secretary explained in
detail how the matter had been
brought to his attention by Mr.. Van
Ripper through Mr. Cheatham and he
had in turn referred it to the secret
service division of the treasury depart
ment, by the officials of which the in
vestigation had been conducted. Thcctiir
report had been made to him and he
in turn made it public. What had
been made public, therefore, the secre-
tary explained, was entirely the work
of the secret service, except that por-
ton of his statement which related 10
the organization of the statistician's
office. Under the circumstances, he
added, he did not feel called on to
make an explanation or withdraw any
thing that had been given out If Mr..
Cheatham saw fit to make statement
regarding the matter, as Mr.. Price
told the secretary, Mr.. Cheatham had,
that was very well and good.
Mr. Cheatham was very much sur
prised when he first noticed in the re-
port given out by Secretary Wilson
to the press the name of Mr.. Theodore
Price mentioned so prominently In con-
nection with the case, as he did not
know of any evidence having been pre-
sented or secured by any one that
would warrant the use of Mr.. Prices
name in connection with the affair.

Cotton Mills Are Prospero,,a

Columbus, Ca, July 10-The direc
tors Of the Eagle and Phoenix mills
have set aside the sum of $4,000 for
the purpose of paying the next two
semi-annual dividends on the compa-
ny's stock. These dividends will be
of 8 per cent each, payable Oct. L, 1905.
and April 1, 1906, respectively. This
is the same dividend earned by Eagle
and Phoenix mill stock last year. This
is regarded as a fair dividend, consid.
ering the enlargement of the plant
and general improvements in the way
of buildings and machinery in recent
years, costing large amount or
money. AS much money will be spent
for new machinery this year as will
be paid to the stockholders in the
shape of dividends.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a

and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.

tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia Z. Pink

thing else had failed. She writes:

New York Market,

New York, July 10-An advance Of
more than So a bale was recorded in
the cotton market here today on re-
ports of heavy rains in the west, pri-
vate advices of crop damage and the
belief that the June acreage report of

mated the percentage OF decrease. The
movement was accompanied by great
activity and excitement. All options in
the local market sold over the II cent
mark during the first few minutes of
trading. October after opening at 1885
advanced to 11.21, little more than

COTTON CONTINUES

Exciting Scenes Witnessed On

WEATHER REPORTS ARE BuLLlsH
1t Is Believed that the June Acreage

New Orleans, July 10.-With prices
bounding upward there was an excit
ing scene at the opening of the cotton
market the opening quotations going
beyOd lie for the active positions. I'm
mediately after the opening the ad
ber selling at 11:32. Various causes
contributed the advance, the chief fac
tor, however, being exceedingly bullish
weather reports Heavy rains and
floods were reported from sections OF
the cotton belt There was also a
belief in the minds of the brokers
that if the results of the Investigations
of the scandal in the bureau of sta
tistics Of the government indicated
anything it was that the bad state OF
the crop had been concealed.
In view of the Wilson report and the
rains reported in the south there was
unusual interest in the opening of the
market after the holiday and the ring
side was jammed before the gong
vance at Liverpool in conjunction with
the influences mentioned became i'm
mediate evident in the frantic effort
to buy cotton and the market went up
ward in leaps and bounds before for
mer bull interests checked the move
ment By 10 o'clock there was a net
advance of from SO to 67 points, Oc-
tober selling at 11:30, December II 46
and January at 11.53. Interests which
fear a heavy reaction from an abnor-
NAL advance in the market, carrying
prices below what the conditions OF
the crop warrant, made large offerings
of cotton which served to arrest the
advance and caused a decline of from
10 to II points, October rec2ding to
Ills, December to 1117 and January
to 1126.
The market did not remain long at
the decline. Bull interests brought
about a fresh reaction and prices be-
gan to ascend, creeping back toward
the figures recorded shortly after the
opening.
Early in the afternoon the advance
from Saturdays closing ranged from
49 to 50 points, October selling at 11.29
December at 11.31 and January at

burning oil and gas were coming be-

ing oil and gas are being thrown high

carried up with them.
