heres In the courts, and any legislation attempting to take it away would be clearly unconstitutional" said one In- diana member.
 Neither do the Indiana Congressman agree with Gompers that the eight hour law should be enforced on the Isthmus of Panama. Several of them have told him in plain language what they think on that proposition. The burden of their answers Is that they believe in protecting American labor by the eight-hour law, but that the foreigners on the isthmus, who can not do as much work in two hours as an American can do in one, are not entitled to that protection.

Nexx orleans Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, May 29-The pun speculative sun around which the cot ton revolved today. Even before our market opened. there were reports, aI- terwards confirmed. that the bull lead of closing out his interest in the July position. The market opened fairly steady. but shortly afterwards an on the New York market, which slid down hill at a great rate. July longs in this market. becoming uneasy over the turn that events had taken In New cided slump in values was recorded in this market, before the big bulls could rally their forces. After the weekly weather report came out, although II another heavy selling movement de- veloped, and on this second dip not a few stop orders were reached, with the result that July contracts sold as low as 11,O6. Fresh buying. at this level and covering by shorts here and in New York, caused recovery Of ten points during the late afternoon session. The local spot market was officially reported quiet and lie low CT on all grades. Sales amounted to 500 bales of spots and $50 bales to arrive. Middling cotton was quoted at I1.S-16. The tendency on the. part of spectators to transfer their inter ests to the new crop months, was much more apparent today in both
 
 when we first called attention to this featured just then developing, The bull leader, evidently rehecting that "discretion Is the better part of valorr' and finding his speculative burden of July cotton too heavy, relieved him self of it. by exchanging 1t for Octo- bers and Decembers, which are llgh- ter on account of the big discounts with which these months have been of fering. While we are not in a posi- ton to judge of the relative strength of the July option in the New oYrk market, we are now of tie opinion that the July position in this market is the strongest of the. other months.
 The heaviest sort of liquidation has taken place In July, while other months comparatively speaking, be- ing freely bought on the decline. Some powerful interests are at work on the long side in this market. which now seems to be in just such position as will invite manipulation of the near months. We have no fear as to any weakness developing in the spot sit nation. In the first place, there Is not any too much cotton left in this coun try. and such spot cotton as Is held will not be thrown away. especially with the whole world eagerly await ing an opportunity to buy.

There is no success which Is half so sat- isfactory as that won by one's own fore eteht and shrewdness. large measure of success fs unobtainable by the average man of small income. It Is the outside investment which works while one sleeps and repro duces itself over and over again: that must do 1t for him. There is no field of human results as mining. The gold mines which are paying from 25 per cent. to 500 per cent. in dividends per annum are counted by the hundred. No other industry can do this.
 The history of mining does not chronicle conditions such as are now known to exist at the Capuzaya property. They are unique and amaze the most experienced mining men and experts
 The stock of the Capuzaya Mining Com pany is as safe an investment as a first mortgage on the most valuable real estate and 1t will pay ten times as much dividend. Nowhere can an investment be found com bining the elements of safety and extraor- dinary large profits as Capuzaya does. Neither fire. flood. famine, or pestilence ran depreciate It's value.

This caused a sharp Sreak sS in the price of May which affected the more distant deliveries. In addition, several reports were received telling or favorable progress by the new crop. The chief of these stated that the erop @ practically made and promised 10 pc the largest in several years. A numper of bullish reports received scant con sideration.

Some weak ness was shown during the first hour because of the break in wheat. but sentiment soon became bullish, follow ing active covering by prominent shorts. Commission houses were good buyers and offerings were scarce. Local re- ceiuts smaller than had been expected, and some damage reports were the main reasons for the lively demand :: The market closed strong.

 The market opened barely steady at a decline of 264 points in response to lower cables and favorable. Almost at once after the opening prominent brokers became heavy sellers for tho May and June options.
