TO Oppose Mr.. Nlndd.

The Democrats in the Fifth Con.
gressional district are apparently
not worried at the early date set by
Congressman Mudd for his renomi-
nation, and it Is said that there will
be no lack OF material on the Demo
cratic side when IL comes to select
ing candidate. B. Harris CANA
lier, Esq, Of ST. Mary's county, Is
understood to be again anxious to
try conclusions with Mr.. Mudd, and
Robert w. Wells, Of Prince George
county, is asserted by some to be
willing to enter the fray. The name
Of Mr.. w. H. Powell, OF Ellicott City.
has also been mentioned in connec-
zion with the nomination. Any idea
that State Senator Gonna intends
70 make the fight for Congress was
set at rest yesterday when he stated
that he had no desire to 90 to Con.
gress and had not The slightest idea
or intention Of becoming candidate.

The Republicans cannot be very
sincere about establishing reason
able railroad rates, or they would
reduce the extortionate freightchar-
ges on the Panama railroad, which
is owned aud controlled by the Uni
Ted States and the rates subject to
change by the Administration at
any time. AS an instance OF the
unreasonable rates the Administra-
tion is charging, the freight on floor
from Panama to Colon, distance OF
forty-se ven miles, is four dollars
and sixty cents ion, although the
same -four can be shipped from New
York TO Colon for FIVE dollars ton,
which Is nearly fifty times as far,
and other rates are equally unrea.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

IRON our regular correspondents
Washington d. G. April is. 1906
n the Senate Is marking time on
the rate bill and findlng excuses for
not speaking, the House is BY no
means talked out. Bourke Cochran
this week had an hour Of time gran
ted him in which 10 express his
views, and they we're weIlexpressed
and went TO the point as is usual
with his speeches. What be advis-
ed was for the House TO stand pat
on the rate bill and allow no amend
ments from the Senate. He said
that in common with 8 good many
other members, be had gone over
the Hepburn bill, hoping tostrength-
en- II by amendment, but he found
that In every case he had been an.
ticipated by the trainers Of the bill
aud he thought that the best thing
to do was TO pass the bill as IL stood
and not allow the Senate to saddle
1t with amendments In the matter
OF court review provision, Mr..
Cochran took the very common sense
view that If any railroad were not
satisfied with the ruling Of the Com
mission, all ii bad 10 do 10 secure a
court review was TO fail TO enforce
the order. This would at once
throw the matter into The courts and
get the ruling that all the court re-
view amendments purported to
seek. II was quite q simply, home.
ly speech and as notice bad been
given that IL was TO occur. she gal
leries were crowded. OF course so
long as the bill is under considera-
ton In the Senate, the talk on the
House end is rather beside the mark,
but IL is an indication 70 the Senate
that the House for once intends 70
stand on its rights and that II the
bill comes back from the Senate 10
any considerably amended shape,
it is likely TO have hard time before
II gets TO cofenrence and afGerward.
Almost as old as the proposal 70
change the date Of the Presidential
inauguration is the proposal to elect
S Sss BIZ has oq Gssa Introduced ii
again by Mr.. Morris Of Nebraska
and in spite Of the fact that the bill
has four times passed the House aud
has been killed In the Senate, there
Is renewed talk Of lbs passing.
There is incorporated with the bill
proposal 10 make the term Of mem.
bers Of the House four wears instead
OF two. The object Of this. the re.
port says, is to give more impor.
lance 10 the primaries and prevent
the professional boodler from living
over from term TO term on the pro.
ceeds Of his unholy work Of one
election. The people are tired
the report says, Of this continu.
GUS drama and as q result are In
clined to give little attention to the
primaries and the conventions which
are the very foundation otour politi-
cal system, and are the times al
which the country's interests can
be best protected.
The change in the order Of cleo.
tions would have 10 be accomplished
by constitutional amendment, but
the framer Of the bill is convinced
that II is good one and ii has at
least had favorable report TO the
House. I

Abercrombie & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

1t required more than the continuance
of dry weather In south Texas to prevent
the market from declining today. Some
thing in the way of supporting orders
being urgently needed. There was a con-
tinuance of drouth In the southern half
of tho western belt and heavy rains
were again reported from the already
drenched districts of the South Atlantic
states. Nevertheless, bull support was
lacking and although the movement to
market for the week was comparatively
light, 46 900 bales, against 100000 last year,
and the elements In favor of higher
market. there was no buying of July or
talk of the much feared squeeze in the
July position. In fact the long side of
the market seemed to have been deserted
for the time being. There was not much
encouragement to be had from the spot
market, 1t ruling easier after having
opened steady and unchanged, exporters
being practically out of the market. Con-
sidering the reported excellent state of
trade of the past season, 1t would seem
that spinners would be active in the raw
material market for their future wants.
1t usually happens, however, that the
mills are provided with spinning ma
terial at this date of the year to last
them until the new season sets In. The
majority of exporters are pulling up stakes
and are leaving for their annual vaca-
ton, and it is for this reason that there
appears to be so little doing In southern
spot markets, European spinners now
drawing against their reserves at Liver
pool

COTTON MARKET
MORE UNSETTLED

Decline
SALES WERE 10000 BALES
Prices at the Close Were a Point or
Two Up From the Lowest on
Active Months az Result
of Covering.

New York, June 1.-THE cotton mar
ket acted somewhat unsettled today and
after a quiet morning turned more ac-
tive with the close at a net decline of
5d10 points. Sales for the day were es-
timated at 10000 bales. The market OPEN
ed steady at unchanged prices on old
crop months and points lower to
point higher on new. which was just
about in line with the cables. At first
the market was fairly steady, offerings
being checked by continued rains in the
eastern belt, while it remained dry in
the southwest and complaints of drought
and Insects are being received from that
