Astute Police Magistrate Is
Touted to Play a Myth
cal Race.

The next time Police Judge ConIan
gets a live tip he will make sure that
the race he puts his hardearned coin
on is to he run. The Judge does not
play the races as a rule, but on Mon
day he was touted against a bunc live
one by Assistant District Attorney Bar
ney Flood and Lawyer Charles Weller.
When the Judge hove in sight of the
Hall of Justice on that fatal day the
pair were standing at the door in ear

HAS DIFFICULTY
GETTING A CREW
COdfsher City of Papeete
Is Delayed Four Days
Getting Men for Cruise

Oceanic Steamship Com
pany's Liner Sonoma Due
Today From the Antipodes

All ready TO go 10 sea last Saturday. it
was not until yesterday that the barken-
tine City Of Papeete secured q fun crew
and was able 10 leave the harbor on a
codhshing cruise. She sailed yesterday
afternoon, and if the winter storms are
over when she reaches the vicinity of
Sand Point it should not be long before
1he Papeete has in her hold all the fish
she can carry.
The winter codhshing season Just past
has been hard on the fishermen. Fish
Were plentiful, but heavy weather made
1ishing impossible except during brief lulls
between gales. The men who man the
cocrshing craft, like the whalemen, are
paid according to the success of the
cruise, with the difference that the green
hand on a codfsher has a chance to make
lair wages, whereas il is almost impossi-
ble for the novice on a blubber hunter to
make more than a few dollars.
The storms that prevented the gather
ing Of a big winter harvest gave the fish
every chance 10 increase in number and
weight, and in the expectation that the
northern waters are now thickly popu-
lated more vessels than ever before will
be engaged in the business of codhshi1lg

.RETARDS WORK
|. ON CONN[C T|CUT.
Lack of Funds Necessitates
Curtailment of the Force
Employed on Battleship
GOVERNMENT is LOSER
Vessel Will Cost $400, 1000
More Than the Louisiana,
Being Built by Contract
GOVERNMENT is LOSER

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE present
prospects are, according to the view
taken at the Navy Department. that
the battleship Conn ecticut, being con-
structed by the Government at the New
York navy yard, will not only cost ap-
proximately 100000 more than her
sister ship, the Louisiana, being built
by private contract, but that the Gov
ernment will lose the race which has
been on since the building of the two
big ships was begun. Just how much
longer it may take to complete the
Connecticut than the Louisiana depends
upon the action of Congress. Accord
ing to the latest figures at the Navy
Department showing the progress being
made on ships under construction the
percentage of completion reached on
the Louisiana is 1892 and the Connect1-
cut 9711a
A factor in retarding the work on the
Connecticut has been the curtailment
in the working force at the New York
yard, made necessary by lack of funds.
The force there was cut down from 5000
to 500, thus materially reducing the
force that could be utilized on the con-
struction work of the Connecticut. I'm
less Congress shall have made provision
for the Increased cost of the Connecti-
cut by June the work on that battle
ship will necessarily be suspended, but
it is anticipated that the naval appro-
priation bill will be passed before that
time, increasing the limit of cost by
about 100000. If this expectation is
realized work will be renewed on the
Connecticut with a view to placing her
in commission at the earliest possible
moment 1t is estimated at the depart
ment that the Louisiana will he ready
for delivery TO the Government in from
four to six weeks.

Liverpool at first , to 7 lower, against to 3 due recover ed most of the loss, but spot sales are small and progress in this direction bears watching
 Our market opened ? to i lower, then displayer waiting disposition with small alternating fluctuations, there was no particular pressure but fear of the heavy intosight movemen, daunted enterprise on the long side al- so. An explanation from Washington as to the number of gins given in the last report had a good effect on feel- ing. AS will have been seen through the press, the difference in the num- Der of gins amounting to 430 compar- ed with last years and l130 in 1901, has ben used ill clever argument to discredit the census figures by say ing that gins probably did not report. In reply to an inquiry by exchange, Washington replied that all ginners which have reported this season have been included in the report This shows that either there must be less to gin than in 1904 or that the old style gins have gone out of business, making room for centrally located modern ginning plants.
 Futures steadied on good news from the spot market and are at point ad- vance at the moment There is a good demand for all desirable grades at firm quotations. As much as s. on January is being paid for good mid- ding Liverpool, a little less for the same grade December delivery. The demand today is more general and quite inspiring.
