in the air. Goggles. hats, a monkey

ON The WHITE MANS BURDEN.
CHAMP CLARK OPPOSES LOADING
MORE on THE PRESIDENT.

He Saws Mr.. Roosevelt Has Enough to DO
in Running Congress, Lecturing the
Man with the Muck Rake and Leetur'
Ing Women on Domestic Relations.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Champ Clark
of Missouri entertained the House OF Repre-
sentatives to-day with a description OF the
white mans burden" as illustrated by the
labors Of the present occupant OF the White
House. A bill was being considered In
committee Of the whole to reorganize the
public school system OF the District OF
Columbia. and the question under discussion
was as to the designation OF the official
or BODY to be charged with the duty OF

cation, the President, the Supreme Court
of the District, and the Board Of Commits
eioners generally being urged. Mr.. clark
said:

right to appoint these trustees Is concerned,

has multifarious duties enough TO dlscharge'
BY the time he runs Congress and makes
sGo 600 appointments, lectures the man with
the muck rake and lectures the women
on their domestic relations. and attends
to those other things in which he seems

Suppose you get a man in there next time

this new burden? 1t will be decidedly
unhealthy for him.
ut seems to me that the most sensible
proposition presented here is the one 70

QUIET DAY IN THE
 COTTON MARKET After Early Decline Market Was
 Generally Steady SALES WERE 150,000 BALES In the Late Trading the Tone Grew More Steady and Prices
 Worked Up a Few
SALES WERE 150,000 BALES

New York. June H.-The cotton market was quiet today, and after an early de- cline, ruled generally steady with the close showing net loss of only 3@6 points. Sales were reported of 15O,ooo bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of S@o points under rumors of rains in Texas, and in spite of the steady Liver pool cables, large English spot sales re- ports of further spot sales in the local market. prices continued to decline until they showed a net loss of about 5aS points. Around 10.33c for July, and 10. 34e for October the decline was checked by covering On the dry forecast for the southwest, denials that the precipitation in Texas had been sufficient to relieve the drouthy conditions, high temperatures in that section and the absence of July pressure. In the late trading, the tone was still steadier. and prices worked up few points on sales of 12,0OO bales from the local stock for consumption and export. The close was steady in tone.
 Receipts at the ports today. 4313 bales, against 54ss last week. and 17115 last year. For the week 90 GOO bales, against 294 40 last week and 7S,o57 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, s42 bales against 1S42 last year, and at Hous- ton 7S4 bales. against 2025 last year.

Abercrombie & Co.'s Market Letter.

The little reaction that set In yesterday on reports of high temperatures and hot winds In Texas was short lived, as North and Central Texas points were visited by fair good rains over night. and shower was reported from the drouth section of southern part of state the district of Austin being relieved temporarily, and there were good rains in North Louisiana and in Southern Arkansas, and. re- suit of same, the market suffered loss at one time of about g. points, July sell ing as low as 1O.S2c, October low at 1O,27 It was realized, however, that the drouth section, the southern half of Texas had received little or rain, and as the official forecast was for continuance of such dry weather as has been the rule in that section of the state for the last thirty days there was some profit taking by shorts at the decline, which served steady the market Liverpool had made a full response to the im- provement established in America. at one time showing an advance of about points. and spots there continued in good demand at an advance of points, mid ding, 6.12d; sales. 100000 bales, the downward tendency of American markets in early hours had the effect of closing the English market at loss on the day of 1 point. Continental advices are rath- CT bearish but those of England are of a more cheerful character, and tho re- ported damage by dronth in Texas is occasioning no little concern in the Eng fish market, as all Europe looks princ
 pally to the Lone Star State for raw materiala Spots here were reported quiet and easy--4very little business being trans acted. thes stock In presses and at land ings being 46,000 bales.

Loveman S Co.'s Market Letter.

The .shot winds reported yesterday in Texas proved to be more or less hot air and, consequently, those who had bought on this mis-information sold out today, causing the market to decline early in the day. when advance was due on the good showing made by Liverpool. Before the decline was checked by fresh buying July contracts had sold as low as 10.S2c, and October as low as 1o.2c. A slight recovery followed, but the buying movement was not of sufficient propor- tions to bring about more than a tenn porary improvement, most of which was lost later in the day. Spots were re- ported quiet and unchanged with light sales.
 Just now the attention of the cotton trade is focused on the weather and crop condition which continue favorable over great portion of the belt There were some rains reported in Central Texas today, which led to the hope on the part of bears that rains in South Texas might be near at hand The low pres sure area which was expected to bring rains in that section, however, has moved rapidly eastward, and there are at pres ent no indications Of rains in the drouth stricken district of Texas, The boil wee vii is becoming active in Northwest Louisiana. and several telegrams com plaining of damage by that pest were received from Shreveport today. From Montgomery, Ala, Well Bros. wired that crop complaints from various sections were beginning to come in: that the crop was small and fully two to three weeks late, and that 1t would be late in August or early in September before any new cotton would come in from that section, which is considered an early one.
