WIRELESS OFFICE RATDED. -~ Was FurnishinE Floating Pool Room
 News of Races.

Chicago, July 3-The steamship City of Traverse, which Is being used as floating pool room on Lake Michigan, was put out of business for a short time today when detectives raided the offices of the wireless telegraph com pany which had been furnishing the boat with returns from the different race tracks throughout the country. which, according to the police. is in direct violation of the city ordinances governing gambling.
 Between 2 and 3 o'clock this after noon, while wireless messages were being transmitted to the floating pool room, twenty-five miles out in the lake, five detectives entered the offices of the wireless telegraph company and placed the manager and his two as- sistants under arrest. All the appara- tus used in the transmission of the racing information were confiscated by the detectives and the three men were locked up. Later, however, they were released on bonds and will be given a preliminary hearing tomorrow.
 Despite the raid on the Chicago office of the wireless company the City of Traverse continued to do business as a pool room during the remainder of the afternoon. After delay of an hour connection was established with another station, the location of which is unknown. The managers of the pool room declared tonight that the boat would make the usual trip tomorrow.

A BIG JUMP.
October Takes Sudden Climb from 9.45
 to 1Gi5O.


 to 1G,5O.
 New Orleans, July 3.-Cotton here to- day took another large bound upwards on the reading of the Government re- port. A dense crowd packed the ring in anticipation of the report, and there was a throng in the galleries. The re- port showing condition to be TIP less than for June was extraordinary bull ish, and cotton in the active positions almost instantly rose 100 points. or cent a pound.
 Subsequently there was some reac- ton on profit-taking.
 The expectation here was that the report would be bullish and when the expectation was realized the bulls drove the market upward with all their might. There had been only July re- port lower than this. in 1900, when 10,- 883,42e bales off an acreage of 5.421 900 were raised, and the knowledge of this fact gave strength to the bull cam paign.
 The market opened with light trad ing and there was tendency down ward. When the report was read, De- tober stod at 9,45. The first purchases thereafter were at 1915. and a minute later October was bought readily at l05O The range on October during thirty minutes after II o'clock was l04 points or S5.20 a bale. Profit-takinS following October went down to 1012, but subsequently, bounded back to l033 Just before noon October was at 025. a decrease of 1919 and January at 10 33
 Two minutes before II o'clock tele- graph company transmitted the figures "S1 3" to the local Cotton Exchange, the correct figures being "77." representing the estimate of the cotton crop condi- ttons up to June 25.
 Secretary Hester wrote a letter to the local manager of the telegraph com pany, intimating that some one in New York had made a criminal effort to manipulate the local market. The man. ager Immediately telegraphed the let ter to the New York headquarters of his company and some sensational de- yelopments are expected The tele- graph company confirmed It's erroneous figures minute after they were first received, and the local manager says there is no doubt but that the figures his Cotton Exchange manager received were those sent from Ney York,
 The remarkable rise Tn the market was maintained until the gong sounded the close of the days business. July closed s5 points up at 10.46; october 94 points up at 1051 and January 94 up at 10S7. The close was 6-S up

JEWS FLEEING.
Massacre of Hebrews is Threatened at
 Odessa.

Odessa.
 St. Petersburg. July 3.-General Ka- rakozoff has been appointed to restore order at Odessa and his first act was to employ 2.000 idlers in clearing the ruined port He also took precautions to prevent a Jewish massacre.
 Jews are fleeing from the city in thousands. Jeish agitators. according to some consular reports received at the embassies here. were prominent Tn melting strike riots. in throwing the first bombs on Tuesday and in firing upon the police and soldiers Wednes- day. When the Kniax Potemkine ar rived they found the flames and &C., cording to these reports. the popul,- ton of Odessa is disposed to lay much of the blame for the blood shed result ing from the demonstrations at their doors.
 \ government promises to give sLe statement of the killed and wounded.
 At Kieff the first mobilization trouble occurred. The reservists killed and wounded several policemen and plum dered the liquor shops. Jews are avoiding service by flight. More se- rious incidents, however. were the re- fusal of the displanary battalion at Khorsen to obey orders. They at tackled their captain and killed their colonel The latter. even when mor- tally wounded by bayonets, marched his soldiers to barracks and then sank dying.
 The effervescence in Poland has again commenced. Police agents have been attacked with bombs and in sew between the troops and the populace. At Kalfzen Ave wara Eillad
 Other revolutionaries In other parts of the country are making of the op- portunity to preach strikes and disor- ders and The Intelligencia proposes a general stoppage of activity by all pro- fessional classes
 Moscow is comparatively quiet a, yet, but there is much nervousness over the ugly attitude of the workmen About half of all the trades have again struck and 1t is feared the strike will spread. Cossacks had to use knouts near Putioff yesterday and grave trouble Is not unlikely.
 While commerce at both St. Peters burg and Cronstadt Is at a standstill, the report that Cronstadt has been closed to foreign shipping is untrue. The strike of longshoremen continues and the sailors, though not mutinous, are openly declaring their sympathy with their comrades in the Euxine Sea.
 At the embassies the seriousness Of the situation is fully realized, but the representatives advise their callers to Keep their heads and not become alarm ists.
 The Council of Ministers. 1t Is un- derstood. has modified the Bouligin pro- tect, making the douma resemble close ly the Prussian landtag. but with only an advisory voice.
 The Official Messenger this morning publishes three olumn account of the disorders at Odessa and the mutiny of the Kn!az Potemkine, which 1t char acterizes as sad and shameful epi- sode. unprecedented in the history of the Russian feet" attributing to the mutiny the transforming of economic disorders into open revolt, accompanied by mutiny and incendiarism. Other details were given but they have most ly been covered by the dispatches.

An Advance of 100 Points
 in Evidence.
THE GOVERNMENT REPORT
Showing of Very Poor Con-
 diti0n Made.
At New York and New Orleans Bulls Grasp Situation and Force Prices
 to Please Their Fancy Excitement Great.

New York, July 3.-The cotton mar Ret became badly excited immediately after the publication of the govern ment report today showing the condi- ton of cotton to he 77 per cent, or lower than even the smallest crop year of 1903. The report was a great deal worse than had been expected and caused stampede of general buying. the price jumping up one cent a pound within ten minutes after the publica- tion of the report. This was the equiv alent of s a bale. The weekly crop reports had been generally favorable and 1t was expected that todays monthly report would show an inn provement. 50 per cent at least.
 Excited scenes were witnessed in the trading pit when the unfavorable re- port was read. For the first hour thereafter brokers on the short side of the market kept it violently excited. and prices advanced at times ten points between trades. or fiuctuated wildly when the top point had been reached.
 The trading was on an enormous scale and the market was In a turmoil for more than two hours. Not until the shorts had covered their contracts and the majority of the trading in this side had protected themselves on the readjustment of the crop situation did the market subside.
 More Than One Cent.
 December and January advanced twenty points at a time, more than 100 points in all. December selling at 1060, and January at 1865. Thous- ands of bales were thrown over by bulls who took profits at the prevail ing high prices and this selling quiet ed the market. together with the be- lief that the advance had discounted the existing conditions. Later in the afternoon prices again advanced near ly to the top of the day.
 Before the government crop report was issued the market had been weak and unsettled with October selling off to a4S against 9.56 at the close on Saturday. Within ten minutes after the report was issued that months option advanced to 1050 or more than $5 a bale above the low point of the morning. Other positions were equally active and excited. and for some time after the report was read the market showed greater activity than at any time since the collapse of the bull campaign in 1903 After reaching 1050 for October there was heavy profit taking and prices within half an hour after the appearance of the report had lost about thirty-f1ve points from the best.
 The market quieted down a little later in the session. but without show Ing acute excitement but very nervous and firm. After breaking to 1915 for October. that position rallied to 10.56 or exactly a cent a pound above the closing price of last Saturday. There was heavy buying through commission houses, and this market at the close was within three or four points of the top, an advance of eighty-four to 101 points or about A to s5 a bale. Sales were estimated at fully one million bales. -.~ .-

Sugar Rate War.

Chicago, July 3-The sugar rate war has broken out again with renewed vigor and rates in every direction have become demoralized. The war Is the result of the New York conference. which was recently held between East ern and Western railroad traffic offi- cials and steamship agents.
 At this conference the Western men gave the Eastern the right to make whatever rates they saw fit in order to meet the situation arising from time to time. Acting upon this the Eastern lines put in a rate of 37 cents on sugar all rail, from New York to Missouri River points. being cut of 10 cents.
 The Illinois Central today gave mo- tice of new cut rates from New Or leans to all points north. These cuts, 1t is expected, will be met by another 10 cents cut by the Eastern lines.

GEAR IN EARNEST.
Acts With Good Faith fn Sending His
 PlenipOtentiartea.


 St. Petersburg, July S.-That Emperor Nicholas Is sending Russian plenipoten- tiaries to Washington in perfect good faith is demonstrated not only by the fact of his clothing them with full pow CTS to negotiate and conclude a treaty but in his appointing several high off, ficials. five. 1t is believed, who are spe. cialists in various branches of the sub jects connected with the negotiations, as advisors of the Russian plenipoten- tiaries In this way. the delays inci- dent to referring peace propositions back to St. Petersburg for the consid- eration of the various ministries. which always cause a loss of much time in Russian diplomacy, will be avoided.
 Japan also is likely to pursue simi- lar plan. The retirement of War Min ister Sakaroff marks the final over throw of the war party.
 At the foreign office it was stated that if treaty is signed by the plen- fpotentiarics at Washington it will be referred to their respective govern ments at Tokio and St. Petersburg for ratification and will become operative as far as Russia Is concerned when signed by Emperor Nicholas and couu- tersigned by Foreign Minister Lams- dorff. It Is betraying no secret to say that Russia, after giving these proofs OI ner willingness to eHu the war II IL is possible to find reasonable basis, would welcome an armistice which would prevent further bloodshed.
 The list of officials appointed to as- sist the Russian plenipotentiaries at the Washington conference forwarded to the State Department by Ambassa- dor Meyer includes M. SlSpoff, director of the Treasury Department; M. Poko- tiloff, the Russian Minister at Pekin; Prof DeMaartens and Major General Yermoleff. the military attache in London.

sMELTILVY's MISSION,
Will Try to Ria Black Sea of the Mu-
 tineers.

St. Petersburg. July 4.-(2;25 a. m.) According to dispatch received by an official agency, the torpedo boat de- stroyer Smeltilvy with volunteer crew. has sailed from Odessa with the intention of sinking the Kniaz Potem- kline.
 With Kurstinji and other unprotect- ed ports of Roumania, Bulgaria and Turkey at the mercy of the battle ships guns and with the inability of Vice Admiral Kruger's squadron to interfere with her career, tacitly ad- mitted by retiring them from commis- sion, this desperate expedient was seized upon to prevent international complications and to rid the Black Sea of mutineers.
 This problem for single destroyer, which is difficult and dangerous enough at best. as she will have to encounter both the Kniaz Potemkine and her attendant torpedo boat. Is now com plicated by the departure of the bat tleship from Kustenji and ignorance as to where she will next turn up; but the despatch from Kustenji throws a gleam of hope on the dark situation Der of her crew are anxious to desert their leaders and to escape the couse- quences of their mutinous actions.
 The admiralty, however. it should be stated. does not admit that the Smell tilvy has gone on such an errand. though the officials say frankly that the Kniaz Potemkine must in law be regarded as a pirate.
