THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance OF
4 to Is oints in response to higher cables
than expected and reports that interior
holders were not responding to the de-
cline in futures There was heavy Wall
street selling on the call, however. leading
to the impression that some big long was
louidating and local professionals took
the short side right after the open >,
with the result that the market became
weak and some IL 20 Is POINTS under last
nights finals on the active months.
Business was very active and after
the first rush of liquidation the market
rallied or points from the vest on
covering and some bull support attracted
by the reports of firnness il. the south
although one wire was received from
Mississippi predicting that holders would
be free sellers for the next ten days.

DECLINE TO CHANGE PLAN.
Commissioners Unable to Select New
Route for Street Car Extension.

The Commissioners announced today
that, having given careful consideration tc
the question of establishing street railway
tracks on New Jersey avenue in connec.
ton with the general plan of running cars
to and from the new Union station. they
cannot see their way clear to recommend
a change.
Several days ago the Commissioners
forwarded to Chairman Gallinger of the
Senate District committee a bill provid-
ing Tor permanent system of car lines
up to the tfront of the new station. The
following day several protests were made
TO the Commissioners against the propo-
stion to operate car lines on New Jersey
avenue Among the protestants were
Warner Stutler and Oscar NJ. Bryant, who
filed letter which they claimed repre-
scented large number of the property
owners on New Jersey avenue.
The Commissioners say they have con-
sldered all the arguments pro and con
for all the various routes to the sta
ton, and cannot see, how they can de-
part from the original plan. Some OF
the opponents to the Commissioners plan
tempting to railroad" this bill through
Congress without consideration of prop
erty rights. The Commissioners say this
is an unjust criticism.
In speaking of this criticism today Com
missioner Morrow said:
1T is the desire of the Commissioners
to railroad this bill or any suitable bill
through Congress SO that permanent ar
rangements may be made to enable the
people to get to and from the new Union
station. 1t is a recognized fact that no
bill cap ever be put through Congress if
the legislative bodies establish a rule that
street car track cannot be laid on a
public street or if the owners and resi-
dents of that street are allowed to have a
controlling voice in the matter
eft ShOJlld ALWAYS iha horne ind 7,
the only way property can be damaged
on a residential street, except by the de-
struction of trees. is by the gradual en-
croachment of business which tends to
follow car lines. and that this encroach-
ment always tends to enhance the value
of the property, the sentimental damage
being more than offset by the pecuriary
benefit which follows

LARGE INTERESTS INVOLVED.
Complaint of Freight Rates on Lum.
bef Heard.

Rate cases involving larger financial in
terests than any ever heretofore brought
to the attention of the interstate COM
merce commission now are being heard
by the commission.
The cases now being heard are those of
the Oregon and Washington Lumber Manu-
facturers Association and others against
the Union Pacific Railroad Company and
others, the Pacific Coast Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association and others against
the Northern Pacific Railway Company
and others, and the Southwest Washing
ton Lumber Manufacturers Association
and others against the Northern Pacific
Railway Company and others.
Each one of the complaints alleges an
unreasonable advance in rates on forest
products from the northwest Pacific states
to various other points in the United
States. and the defendants in each case
include the most important lines of rail-
way in the west and northwest.
Although only four complaints are in
cluded directly In the present hearing
several others are dependent on the find
ings of the commission in the pending
cases.

NEW YORK, December 11.-Mrs. Mary

Mrs Heinks was aroused by rap on
the door of her room, which opens into
the hotel office on the second floor. To
the question as to who was with

Williams" She knew Williams as a
ledger at her house from time to time,
and fastened to dress and go into the Of

described as Williams, with two other we'll
dressed men. All three said that they
wanted rooms. Suddenly, while they
were discussing prices. the. three to-
gether rushed upon Mrs. Heinks, TAX

When she regained her senses almost
half an hour later she found that the office
had been ransacked the desk broken open
and $1,000 which she had drawn from the
bank yesterday taken from one of its
drawers. In half-dazed state Mrs
Heinks made her way down to the street,
where she found Policeman John Letzner
of the West Goth street station.
Letzner took her to the station house,
where she told the story to Capt. Jacob
Brown. He Immediately put two de-
tectives on the case and assured Mrs.
Heinks that with the descriptions she had
given he would have little trouble in run

ton of the fraternal relations existing be-
tween Japan and America, would do
much to satisfy that peculiar element on
both sides of the ocean which for some

Promised Open Market.
He said that the people of America were
anxious for the friendship and open mar
kets of Japan, in return for which they
would provide unrivaled markets and
give their confidence and sympathy,
He continued:
rejoice to say that so far as our two
countries are concerned there is now not
one serious question which remains I'M
settled, and l am sure you will join ME in
the confident belief that there will be
none in the future that enlightened
craftsmanship shall not be able to set
tie in spirit of friendship and good WILL
Count Okuma followed with a speech in
which he voiced in the friendliest terms
expressions of gratitude for the bene-
hts received from America and his con-
viction that the hitherto unbroken friend
ship of the two countries would continue
The address was strictly along the lines
of the interview given by Count Okuma
