TO LOUk INTO COTTON.
House Committee Decides That Mar
ket Needs Investigation.

Washington, Feb. by unanimous
vote, the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce decided
today to make favorable report on
a resolution for the investigation of
the methods of cotton exchanges by
the department of commerce and la
Dor. The resolution is an amended
form of the Livingston and Burleson
resolution and extends the investiga-
ton to all cotton exchanges dealing in
futures.
Representative Lowering, who will
report the bill for the committee, said
today, that the New York and New
Orleans exchanges are the two prin-
cipal ones dealing in futures, but that
the Memphis & ST. Louis exchanges
also have some dealings of that sort.
The resolution as it will be reported
follows:
Resolved, that the secretary or
commerce and labor, through the bu-
reau of corporations, be, and is here
by requested to investigate the causes
of the fluctuations in the price of cot
ton and the difference between the
market price of the various classes of
cotton; and said investigation shall be
conducted with the particular object
of ascertaining whether or not said
fluctuations in prices have resulted in
whole or in part from the character of
contract and deliveries thereon made
on the cotton exchanges dealing in fu-
lures, or are the result of any combin-
alton or conspiracy which interferes or
hinders commerce among the several
states and territories, or within foreign
countries

the Potomac was detached from that
army in front of Petersburg, and sent
to thwart any demonstration that
might be made by Early. One divi-
sion of the Sixth corps was left in Bal
timore, because the demonstration was
intended to be against that city and
Philadelphia as well. The other two
divisions arrived in Washington in de-
tachments on steamers from the 10th
to the 18th. The first and second di-
visions were Immediately sent to Fort
Stevens, which was about four miles
from the White House.
1.-THE first division, to which 1 be-
lo1ged, remained in reserve in the vi
cinity of the fort; the other was sent
out in front. The country stretching
first a gentle decline, then a little
plain for some way, with hills in the
distance. Every detail of the move
ment of the two divisions-ours and
one of Early's-could be seen plainly
from the fort while the participants
themselves could see only what was
occurring in their immediate front.
There was thus unrolled panora-
ma of war-a battle in progress. II
the distance a house was set aside by
the artillery, and formed a prominent
feature of the picture.
THE engagement was sufficiently
far from the fort to make a bullet that
came to it practically harmless. One
illustration was Interesting, as show
ing the degree Of danger in our posi-
ton. and also the comparative effect
of the emotions of curiosity and fear
in women. A large tree which had
been felled very close to where stood
lay in horizontal position to the
works, and behind it two women, ap-
parently mother and daughter, had Ia
ken refuge. They would look with
openmouthed interest at the move
ment of the troops, when singing
through the air would come a bullet.
It's hum would arouse the emotion of
fear, and instantly they would crouch
down on the ground behind the pro-
tecting tree trunk, only to rise, inch by
inch, as the fear of the bullet. passed
and curiosity became supreme.
cat about that time President Lin
coin arrived. He was accompanied, 1

THE LIGHTS WENT OUT
Cylinder ExpIodes ON Engine at Edi-
son Company Near Midnight.

. A cylinder head from high pressure
engine No. 2 at the plant of the Topeka
Edison company on Van Buren, street
blew out at 11:40 last evening with ter
rife force and accompanied by deaf
ening explosion. Electric power and
lights all over the city which get their
out of commission for As minutes, I'M
til another engine could be started up.
Pieces of metal were carried high
through the roof by the force of the
explosion and either returned DOWN
ward on the inside of the building or
fell down in the Immediate neighbour
hood. The building was completely
enveloped with great clouds of steam
which escaped when the cylinder head
which accompanied the explosion gave
the semblance of a fire and an alarm
was turned in bringing out most of
the companies in the city. There was
no work for the fremen however.
The pieces of iron which were hurled
about did no damage to any of the
other machinery though it did break
skylights and windows. Fireman Will
lam Stevens Immediately after the ex-
shut off the steam by a valve situated
near the cylinder and in doing so was
scalded about one arm. Aside from
this no one suffered an injury and Stew
ems himself was reported today only
slightly burned.
Superintendent Huntington, of the
Edison plant, stated that he is unable
yet to place an estimate of the loss.
The accident will in no way affect the
running of the plant and we will be
able to handle our business as usual"
said Mr.. Huntington.
