 New Orleans March 16.-The speculative public. which has lately been in a comatose sat up and took nourishment today on the report wired from Little Rock. Ark. that Theo. H. Price had expressed himself as Suih on the outlook and san shss M 9hs ns renr was received in the local market there was some fresh speculative buying, causing a sudden lift of several points in prices, much shorts, who have sold cotton at the lowest point of the season. and who have been ca gerly awaiting Mir Prices return from his them to realize longej-for profits. Hence, 1t was a rude awakening from the opium dreams in which they were indulging to hear suppressed a builish opinion. 4 good many wisely decided to cover. the impulse to do so being assisted, no doubt, by the presence of a good spot demand and the expectation of bufiieh weekend statistics. An attempt was made in New York to discredit the in terview with Mir. Price, but. as he has given out no officiol denial himself, we are in clined to think that he has not been mis- inclined to believe that he has taken a bullish stand In the market If he did deny morning. It will be recalled that MT. Price turned bull at about this time last year, and helped to put the market up to II cents in than exist today The truth of the matter is that Mir. Price would find 1t comparatively easy to conduct a bull campaign this year, In the first place. there is a large short in. terest located principally in October and December: then tn ecrop is turning out smaller than the majority or spscuiagIorfs i m but not least, the consumption Is going on at a rate that promises to leave a depleted visible at the end of the season. nniess the

Emma Coolidge was five years old
yesterday, and she asked her little
playmates to spend the afternoon
with her. There were games and mu-
sic and mirth. At five O'Clock the
birthday feast was served The table
was gay with flowers, candles and
candies. At each plate was a beauti-
full place card. Emma's mother seem
ed to know just what wee folks love
to eat, but the crowning event of the
supper was the appearance of the
magic birthday cake, snowy white,
sumounted by five lighted candles,
has passed. In the cutting of the
cake, the gold ring fell to Dorothy
Walker, the silver thimble to Rhoda
Johnston and the dime to Frances
Bear.
After supper there was more music
and play and laughter, then reluctant
ly the children said goodnight to
Emma, wishing her many returns of
her natal day.
The children enjoying this treat
were: Hazel Dunn, Dorothy Walker,

Washington, D. c., Feb. 8.-There
was a large attendance in the CALLER
les of the Senate today, owing evi-
IDENTIFY to the expectation that there
would be some lively scenes over
the Patterson resolution.
Tillman opened the proceedings by
referring to the petition vigorously
presented by him from the Red Rock
Fuel Company, of West Virginia com
planning that Baltimore and Ohio com
pletely refused to permit that com
pany to connect it's tracks with those
of B. & O. thus as Tillman expressed
it "Bottling up Company" He said
that at that time Elkins had said
there was a remedy under the State
laws of West Virginia He then pre-
sented a letter from Governor Daw-
son of West Virginia complaining of
difficulty of administering the laws
that the Pennsylvania R. R. Company
does not legally own a controlling
part of the B. & o. Chesapeake &
Ohio, or Norfolk and Western, but I
have no doubt but that an investiga-
ton will show the Pennsylvania
Company practically controls these
three great trunk lines which ira
verse West Virginia and which are
the only means whereby the Products
of this state including coal can be
shipped to either the Lakes in the
West or to other markets in the East.
Hence, in view of this fact, West Vir-
ginia today is in the grasp of the
railroad trust which practically says
which part of the State shall be de-
veloped and what part shall not be
developed, how much coal shall be
shipped out of the state, to what
points or ports it shall be shipped,
and when it shall be shipped. OF
course it makes it's own rates and we
are helpless"

Alderman BROOKS, OF the water anu
lights committee reported that his
committee had Investigated the wat
er works ordinance. A conference
had been held with Messrs. Chipley
had not been settled to the liking
of the committee. A bonus of $4,000
as an evidence of good faith on the
part of the water-works people had
been asked, and this had been the
main stumbling block as the water
people were not inclined to grant
this. He, therefore asked that a de-
lay of one week be given the commit
tee
This was granted to by the Coun-
Gil, and for next Wednesday night
called.
When asked if he had anything to
say, Mr.. Reynolds replied that he
would not be here next Wednesday
night He thought the City should
not ask a bonus, as it not right when
people came here to help along the
town. Mr.. Allen, who was putting
up the money, would not consent to
this. He did not think it right, and
he believed it would be a long time
before the city would have as good
an offer made it. Their offer to the
faith. They had secured the money,
and interested the men in the plan
before they placed it before the city.
If they were given the franchise they
would begin work in thirty days af-
ter it's approval by the voters. They
would not monkey with the city, but
would pay the costs of the lection
and of publishing, and had tried to
do the fair thing.
Dr. Chipley paid quite a tribute to
the character of Mr.. Allen, and said
his name was as good as other mems
bond, and if he agreed to do thing
it was as good as done.
From these things it seems as
though the water-works plan had
gone "a glimmering.
The following resolution was intro
duced by Clarence Ullery: providing
that the city issue bonds to the
amount of $500. for a fire house and
for equipment for the department.
That it be submitted to the vote of
the tax peayers for the final decision.
1t was moved by J. P. Church and
seconded by Mr.. Ogle that the reso-
luton be laid on the table. Mr.. Ullery
asked that the resolution be referred
back to his committee. This was
denied by the Mayor, and Mr.. Ul-
lery appealed to the house, which de-
cided in his favor and that the reso-
luton should be referred back to
committee by a vote of five to two.
The Council then went into execu-
tive session.

An adjourned session of the City
Council was held last niSht at the
Office of the City Clerk, Mayor Hin
kle and Aldermen WylIys, Ullery
Johnson, Church, Ogle, Brooks and
Burns being present.
Some eight or ten persons repres-
enting the market gardeners who
take their water supply from the
bitches running through the city,
were present and asked that the city
agree to delay the tiling of the ditch
es until next fall The reason given
was that if the tiling was begun this
spring, it could not be finished until
the middle of the summer and their
Mr.. Wilson, in speaking for the
gardeners said that the contract call
ed for the tiling of the bitches by
May 18th. If this was insisted on
his crop for the year would be ruin
ed as he could not get water soon
enough to do him any good.
J. P. White quoted A. L. w. Nil
sson, the cement man, as saying that
he could not begin on the tiling until
the frost was out of the ground, and
that it would then take sixty days
to make it. He also asked that the
. time be extended until fall While
he personally was not interested in
gardening, yet he knew that if the
tiling was insisted on according to
contract, that the gardeners might
just as wen leave off their crops
for this year. Mr. White also said
that while Mr.. Barnett, of the ditch
Committee was not present, he was
authorized to represent him
George NJ Slaughter also asked fol
an extension of the time until fall
He said that the ditch people had
made a mistake in not having on
the committee representative OF
the gardeners. The alfalfa farmers
could get along under the contract,
but the gardeners could not. He sug-
gested that a delay be made until
October first.
Mayor Hinkle expressed himself
as feeling that there was two sides
to the matter. He saw that tiling al
once meant a hardship to the garden
ers But on the other hand the Coun
Gil had the interests of the City tC
look after. To delay the thing for q
year might mean loss of $4,000
to the city The sewers had been dan
aged and were being damaged by the
delay. and buildings were settling
The cause he assigned to this wa.
the seepage from the bitches. Tht
water level had risen a foot while
the library building was under con
struction. However, the matter wa:
up to the Council for their decision
]. S. Lea thought that as the tiline
could not be started by Mr.. NILSSON
for sixty days. and then it would
take sixty days more to make it, and
thus it was a physical impossibilit,
to begin the actual laying of the til
ing until the middle Of the summer
and the city might as well agree t.
the delay until fall.
Mayor Hinkle remarked that IL tn,
filing could not be secured, it could
MT. but otherwise he. so far as h,
was concerned in 1T, would insist tha
the contract be carried out.
The representatives of the ditcl
people then left and the matter wa
further discussed by the Council, an
later on in the evening 1t was ID
cided to take no action on the n
quest OF the ditch people. Thus tn
matter stands AZ before.

Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-Follow-
ing Is a summary of the Hepburn
railroad rate bill, on which the house
votes today: The bill, according to
Hepburn, was intended, and did so
far as it could be made, comply spe-
cifically with the recommendations
of President Roosevelt on the rate
question. Ii gives the Interstate
Commerce Commission authority
when a rate has been complained of
as unreasonable" by a shipper, to
investigate the rate, state whether
or not it is unreasonable, and If
found to be unreasonable to name a
rate which is believed to be just and
reasonable and fairly remunerative,
which is to be the maximum rate
charged; this rate so fixed to go into
effect thirty days after it is announc-
ed by the commission, subject dur
ing this time to be set aside or sus-
pended by the Interstate Commerce
Commission or the courts. After it
has gone into effect it is to remain
in force for three years. Another i'm
portant feature is the definition of the
words railroad" and "transporta-
ton" in a manner to include all aux
iliary instrumentalities of common
carriers and to bring them within
control of the commission. These are
ions are notifications of existing
law. They include publicity of rail-
road methods, which is to be aided
by prescribing a system of book
keeping and enlarging the commits
sion to seven members and increas-
ing the salaries to $4,000 a year.
