causes contributed to the advance, tho
chief factor. however, being exceedingly
bullish weather reports Heavy rains and
in some instances foods were reported from
sections OF the cotton belt. There was also
a belief in the minds of brokers that II
the results of the Investigations in the
bureau of statistics OF the government in
dicated anything it was that the bad state
Of the crop had been concealed.
NEW YORK, July 10-An advance Of
more than 81 bale was recorded in the
cotton market here today on reports OF
heavy rains in the west, private advices Of
crop damage and the belief that the June
acreage report OF the bureau OF statistics
had underestimated the percentage de-
crease. The movement was accompanied
by great activity and excitement. All op-
tions IN the local market sold over the
lf-cent market during the first few minutes
of trading October, after opening at l0.S5c,

NATIONAL SCHOOL FOR COOKS
Stewards Association Planning In
stitution for Training of
Hotel Employees.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-Plans for the found
ing of a national school of food cookery
and service were formulated here today at
the annual meeting of the International
Stewards association. A ways and means
committee was appointed by the associa-
ton to bring the matter before congress
with view to securing government sup
port for the enterprise of an appropria-
ton sufficient at least to pay half of the
expense of establishing the school. Ac-
cording to the plans decided upon the
stewards contemplate the establishment of
a school which shall be practically self
supporting and which shall furnish the
best possible instruction in the art of
cooking and serving of pure food. A bak-
cry, restaurant, butcher shop and laundry
will be run in connection with the school
in order TO give pupils training in all
branches of hotel and restaurant work per-
tanning to food.
The government authorities will be asked
to allow soldiers and sailors connected
with the commissary departments to serve
an apprenticeship in the school in order
to better the mess service In the army
and navy. The estimated cost of establish
ing the school, which is to be located In
Chicago, will be 100000. Congress is ex-
pected to appropriate S15OOOO and the bal
ance necessary will be furnished by the
Stewards association.

DYNAMITE DESTROYS SALOONS
Three Kansas Houses Wrecked and
One Man Injured, but No
Arrests Follow.

lola, Kan, July 1O.-Three saloons in
West street, in the heart OF the business
section Of lola, were completely wrecked
by dynamite early today. Much damage
was done to other property in the vicinity
and the loss is conservatively estimated at
100000 J. Z. Thorpe, the owner Of one of
the saloons was injured, but not seriously.
The dynamite was exploded apparently by
some temperance reformer. No arrests
have been made.
The wrecked saloons were known as the
Red Light the Blue Front and the Eagle
There were two distinct explosions. each
of terrific force. Besides demolishing the
three saloons, the explosions damaged the
Palace shoe store, the drug stores of Camp
bell & Burrell and Cowan & fisherman,
across the alley in the rear, and shattered
dozens Of plate glass windows in the busi-
ness section. The explosions were heard
at Humbolt, nine miles distant
lola is calm again tonight after a day
of the most intense excitement the town
has ever experienced as the result OF the
blowing up Of three saloons here last
night Conservative estimates of the dam
age resulting from the explosion which
wrecked the Eagle the Blue Front and
the Red Light saloons and damaging
other buildings in the immediate vicinity
place 1t at 100000. The mayor has sworn
in a large number of deputies who are
patrolling the streets tonight to preserve
orders. That the outrage was committed
by an irresponsible was made clear to-
night, when a number of letters were re-
ceived by a local newspaper from a man
signing the name &C. L. Melville" who is
in hiding in this vicinity. The tenor of
the letters indicate that the writer is in
sane and that he blew up the saloons here
last night.
E. II. Funston, ex-congressman and
father of Brigadier General Frederick
Funston, was arrested here tonight
charged with inflammatory utterances.
Mr.. Funston, in talking of the explosion
which blew up three saloons here last
night, said the occurrence would have
been avoided If the officers of the law had
done their duty in enforcing the laws.
Funston resisted the policeman who at
tempted to arrest him and a fight re-
suited in which the policeman struck
Funston, strapped him in his buggy and
took him to jail Later Funston was re-
| leased and he swore out a warrant for the
policeman. The policeman charged that
Funston came TO town with a revolver and
a rife, that he bought some cartridges and
had them in his buggy when arrested
Funston is a radical law enforcement man
His hearing was set for next Saturday

WILL IMPORT MANY LaB0RERS
Canal Commission TO Contract fO=
Work of 1000 Men for
500 Days.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-In order to test
the capacity for work of Italians, Chinese
and japanese and also the contract method
of securing and handling laborers. the
Panama Canal commission has decided to
import 1900 men of each nationality for a
5OO-day contract, subject to renewal. Pro-
posals for fu rnishing these laborers soon
will be Issued 1t is the object OF the COM
mission to reduce the amount of this sort
of labor as much as possible by the intro
duction of modern machinery, but 1t will be
necessary to secure several thousand addi-
tional workmen.
The number OF 1000 was chosen because
of being the approximate capacity Of cne
ship at a time. The laborers will be fur
nished by contractors and will have TO be
delivered befo re the first OF December next.
The government will furnish free hospital
and medical attention, unfurnished quar-
ters, fuel for cooking and water. Under a
recent decision of the attorney general, la
borers will work eight hours a day.
This class of laborers going to the 18TH
mus will not be entitled TO enter the
United States because of an act OF the last
congress which made the immigration laws
Of the United States applicable TO persons
coming from the canal zone to the United
States.

PORTLAND, Ote July 10-Counsel for
United States Senator John H. Mitchell in
an argument today before Judge DeHaven
in the federal court on a motion for a new
trial in the Senator Mitchell case today
laid great stress on the fact that the gov
ernment did not prove the sixth count of
the Indictment, wherein it is alleged that
on January 4, 1904, Senator Mitchell re-
ceived a sum of money from Kris 1t was
argued that inasmuch as the jury was in
structed that II could bring a verdict upon
any one or all of the counts the whole YER
dict is defective and should be set aside
and a new trial allowed.
District Attorney Hency replied that the
government did not from the beginning
Of the trial expect to prove this count and
had informed the jury to that effect
Further, that the jury had been given to
understand several times that the govern
ment was not attempting to make a case
on this particular count BY reason Of
this, argued Mr.. Heney, the jury under

hinged on this point, and thus the rights

sion MT Buffalo, with Large
Delegation Present.

they are now holding.
The report of the board of governors Of
the National Home for Elks at Bedford
City. Va, has been placed in the hands of
Grand Exalted Ruler O'Brien. Besides
statistics the report discusses several i'm
portant questions. The report says:
The present board of governors deems It
advisable to inform the grand lodge that II
the present rules of admission are adhered
TO 1t does not seem advisable to continue
the operation of so large a plant for so few
residents, now numbering only twenty,
under the present restrictions Of admission.

more economically cared for by placing
them in private institution.
The report recommends more liberal ad-
IllSSluH Iults. ne IepOIl also says tnat

be discharged by the board OF grand trus-
tees at first hand and the grand lodge
saved the cost OF the meetings of the board
