PREPARATION FOR SPRING
Indications OF nm Early Opening
of Spring Trade in Nearly
All staple Lines.


New York, Feb, 3.-Bradstreet's s
weekly review says;
There is more snap to spring trade
this week, jobbers and manufacturers,
particularly at the west and south, not
ing more inquiry for dry goods, cloth
ing, shoes and similar lines. Favored
by the steady weather, these trades dis
play a desire TO open the season earlier
than usual The absence Of severe and
sudden weather changes has also been
beneficial so far to the winter wheat
crop, which does not show any effects
Of lack of snow covering throughout
most of the winter, Shipments on
spring account are being called for
earlier. Retail trade and to a certain
extent collections are also affected by
the same weather conditions; but the
forced sales are moving goods and there
is even a tendency on The part OF the
retailers to become reconciled to the
situation and not to let the undeniably
disappointing winter trade interfere
with spring demands, Outdoor industry
is favored by the openness Of the
weather.

MAKES PLEA FOR FlLlPINOS.
Secretary Taft Appears Before the
Senate Committee.

Washington, Feb. 6. Secretary of
War Taft today was heard before the
senate committee on Philippines, in fa-
vor of the Philippine tariff bill The
obligations of the United States to the
islands provided the theme for an
earnest appeal.
He asked the committee what con.
gress had done for the Philippines, and
answered that a people cannot be fed
on constitutional principles, and that
the Filipinos cannot be uplifted by this
country unless it was willing to aid
them in increasing their productive
conditions. The islands are being used
for the purpose of improving business
in the United States, he declared, and
he asked where was the justice a guar
dian should show its ward.
Referring TO the tobacco and sugar
interests, Secretary Taft said that both
have had the highest kind of protcc-
tion, and that all this fog which had
been created has nothing of substance
in it.
In response to injuries to these crops,
he said there had been a witness who
feared immediate injury, but that the
danger is confined to the enormously
exaggerated growth Of these industries,
which these witnesses build up IN their
own minds.

EAST ST. LOUIS BIG FIRE
over Half n Million of Elevator
and Other Property Falls Prey
TO the Flames.

ST. Louis, Feb, 5,-The Union Eleva-
tor in East st. Louis was burned Sat-
urday night, entailing loss of about
100000 Seven residences, three sa-
looms and boarding houses, one hotel,
stable and several horses and nu-
merous freight cars were also consumed
in the most disastrous conhagration that
East St. Louis has ever had. The fire
was one of the most spectacular that
has ever occurred in the vicinity of st,
Louis The flames lighted the entire
heavens, leaping seventy-five to one hum
dFed feet higher than the elevator,
which lowered $50 feet in the air.
Thousands viewed the magnificent spec
tacle from the Eads bridge and other
thousands watched it from the river
front
The elevator was erected eight years
ago after a similar structure on the
same site was burned January 25, 1896.
1t was 900 feet long, $50 feet wide and
was originally seven stories high. Three
years ago an addition was built to the
east end and making that portion Of
the structure u stories high. The
building was valued at 100000. Its
capacity was 100000 bushels, and
when the fire broke out Saturday night
it was partly filled with grain. The in
surance is given as $2S2 900.

THE FAILURE is A BAD ONE
Creditors of the Tennent Shoe Co.
of 81. Louis VIII Only Realize
About Forty Per cent.

St. Louis, Feb 5.-Creditors of the
Tennent Shoe Co. have received the
report Of the subcommittee, of which
A. l.. Abbott is chairman, show
ing that the liabilities of the firm ex-
coed the assets by S374,O00, and that
creditors will not receive more than
40 cents on the dollar
The company was indebted to
Philadelphia bank in the sum OF SAL
600 This claim, it is said, is unse-
cured.
The comp"ny was capitalized at
total of 100000, divided into 100000
of preferred and 100000 of common
stock.
1t appears from the report of the ac-
countants that less than one-fourth OF
common stock was fully paid.
John II. Tennent, who retired from
the firm recently, at the instance Of
the directors, received dividends
amounting to $4,000 year for the
past six years.
In addition he drew salary OF
$4,000 annually. A promissory note,
signed by John H. Tennent for SIS.
600, was found among the assets.
The overdrafts Of Jack" Tennent,
has son, who was secretary of the COM
pany are reported to be slightly in
excess of $4,000.

today entered in the Federal court here
by the Kirby Lumber Company against
the Houston Oil Company and the Mary
land Trust Company for l9,350, S3S

LANE A STUMBLING BLOCK
His Nomination az Interstate Com-
merce Commissioner Held Up
by the Senate.

Washington. Feb. 2.-The admins
tration has been served with formal
notice that the leading republicans of
the senate do not intend to confirm the
nomination Of Mr. Franklin X. Lane,
of California as a member of the in
terstate commerce commission to sue
ceed former Gov Fifer, OF Illinois. who
retired recently. The name of Mr.. Lane
was sent to the senate several days
ago, and has ever since been pigeon
holed in the committee room of Sem
ator Elkins, chairman of the commit
tee.
Mr.. Lane is a democrat, and sup
ported William Jennings Bryan in 1896
and in 1900 The president it is stated,
had conference with Senator For
aker, of Ohio, who frankly told him
that the nomination was held up. and
would continue to be held up as long
as the administration was insisting
upon railroad-rate legislation. He said
that Mr.. Lane was not the type of man
who should be on the commission if

RENEWS HER DEMAND.
Colombia Still Wants Pay for the
Secession of Panama.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Colombia has
again renewed her demand for recon-
pense from the United States because
of the separation of Panama. This last
application was submitted to Secretary
Root recently by Senor Diego Mendoza.
1t is said to be in general terms similar
TO the presentment made originally by
Gen. Reyes, the present executive head
of Colombia, when he was in Washing.
ton last year as special commissioner
and minister from Colombia.
While this last presentmcnt is in the
nature of a claim against the United
States government, the amount of dam'
ages sustained by the parent state on
account of Panamas secession is not
set down.
Secretary Root has the last note un-
der consideration, but it is believed
that nothing has occurred to change
the position originally taken by the
state department in this matter, name
ly; That the United States was in no
way responsible for the separation OF
Panama

AMELIORATE THE BOYCOTT.
Secretary Metcalf Approves Immi.
grafton Reforms.

Washington, Feb &. 6.-Secretary Met
calf of the department of commerce
and labor today took most important
action, which is expected to considera-
bly, ameliorate the friction between this
country and China, and perhaps caused
the abandonment of the nti-American
boycott, when he approved the report
OF the special committee composed of
Assistant Secretary Murray, Solicitor
Sims and Richard Campbell of the bu-
reau of immigration, providing for a
radical revision of the existing regula-
tions under which Chinese may enter
and reside in the United States.
The commissions report touches, by
way Of either exclusion or amendment,
twenty-four Of the existing regulations
all of the changes being made in the
direction of liberalism.
Besides certain alterations that prom
ise to avoid delay in landing Chinese
who apply for admission, other altera-
tions have been made where possible,
with view to avoiding any action that
would seem offensive, provided that
the object intended by such regulations
could be accomplished otherwise. As
an illustration of this, the committee
recommended the discontinuance Of the
Bertillion system Of Identification.

Non PAYABLE Debts.
(lntercst Alone to BE Paid.)


Discussing his resolution relative to
an amendment TO the constitution re-
garding the encouragement of cotton
mills In the State, Senator Garbrough
Of Pamela said: "'rhe fuctuation in the
price OF cotton for the past five years
averages a loss each year of about
cents per pound. On ten million bale
crop the yearly loss is about 100000,
900, which amount would build and
equip 500 cotton factories at cost OF
100000 each. Will cotton growers
continue to allow this annual loss, or
will they cooperate and manufacture
their own cotton? The resolution in
frodnced by me is, believe, the proper
plan TO be adopted by cotton growers.

win appreciate it, and by so doing en-
hence the value of their product 400

adopted so as to make steady demand
