New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, August 1S.--Cotton spots were quiet with prices unchanged; mid ding, 10c. Sales were l5O bales on the spot and 55 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady. IA to IT points below the close yesterday, as a result of a decidedly disappointing Liverpool and bear pressure in New York and elsewhere. The factor which brought about a subse- quen advance was the persistent report that rain which had fallen in Texas was not sufficient to allay the conditions caused by the hot. dry weather previously reported. Later the weekly weather re- port of the government somewhat encour- aged the same idea, as 1t was less favorable than the report of last week. Bulls made the most of the opportunity offered them. and the active future months were slowly pushed back to the better levels. although the early losses were never fully recov- cred At the close, which was firm, the active months were 10 points below the close yesterday.

NAVY DEPART MENT
IS GIVEN BLAME
Special Committee Appointed
To Investigate ReuterdahI
Charges Reports.
SHOULD NOT HAVE INVITED.
PERMISSION TO BOARD THE BAT
TLESHlPS SHOULD NOT HAVE
BEEN GRANTED ASSERTlONS
MADE ARE REFUTED.

New York. January pa Washing
ton dispatch says:
Tie report Of the special commission
consisting OF Rear admirals Capps and
Converse. appointed by the president
to Investigate criticism of the navy
made by Henry ReuterdahI, and sus-
tanned by some of the most prominent
officers in the service. is now com
pIete, 1t probably will be transmitted
to the president this afternoon.
The report finds that the charges of
Ateuterdahl, except in minor instances.
are unfounded. II absolves Lieutcn-
ant Commander Sims. the presidents
naval aid, who is charged with fur
nishing Reuterdahl with information
1t is shown that the navy department
invited Reuterdahl aboard the vessels
and his criticism followed these invit-
ed trips.
1t emphatically denounces the at
tempt to create the impression that the
vessels Of the United States navy are
useless junk which should be relegated
TO the scrap heap. The report leaves
Rear Admirals Melville and McCalla
whose criticisms have been bitter and
sweeping, in a bad light II means
that they must deny the statements at
tributed to them or else stand court
martial.
Lieutenant Commander Sims has
never publicly criticised the navy. and
the only charge against him was that
he had furnished Reuterdahl with i'll
formation. He is absolved from this.
as It is shown that it was not he. but
the navy department which extended
the invitation to Reuterdahl TO visit
the ships. and it was from observations
on these trips that he deduced the facts
upon which he based his criticisms.
The naval constructors Of the gov
eminent have been Vindicated, for.
while minor defects in warship build
ing, which were known to the public
years ago. are admitted. Reuterdahl's
criticisms of the navy are shown to be
without foundation i'll fact.

FLEET ANIMALS.
The Wonderful Speed Developed by the
Greyhound.

The Wonderful Speed Developed by the
Greyhound.
Representations of the greyhound ap-
pear upon sculptures over 5000 years
old. There is no doubt that it is one
Of the very oldest fixed types of dog
and the most universal in its distrihu-
ton. India. Arabia, Persia, are among
the countries that for ages past had
the greyhound. Lately there was ex-
hibited in England a greyhound from
Afghanistan-a shaggy form suited to
that mountain land. OF course these
dogs are not all exactly greyhounds in
the western sense. but they are essen
italy the same in type; they are gaze
hounds" long legged. light built dogs,
bred to run their game by sight and
not by scent and to overtake it not by
wearing it down, but by sheer speed
and skill Of running. How this type
was evolved affords much interesting
speculation.
"A greyhound is probably the fastest
creature that moves upon the earth,
says a breeder of those animals. 1t
is on record that greyhound beat the
famous race horse Flying Childers. An
absolute trial between horse and grey
hound is difficult to bring off. because,
while the horse can be ridden at top
speed. it is impossible TO insure that
the greyhound will run all he can
But a dog that can start. say, fifty
yards behind a hare and overtake it
within another fifty, and this is about
what a greyhound does, must surely
be faster than anything else that lives
or has his parallel only among the
birds"
The same writer says Of greyhound
cOursing: One used to hear that it
was q 'pothouse,' not a 'gentleman's
sport. But | have heard men who fol-
low both declare that they prefer
coursinS to racing. and / can quite I'M
derstand it. In coursing there Is the
absolute certainty that all is above
suspicion of anything shady Every
time a dog IS run he is honestly run
TO win or divide the stakes. You can
not pull greyhound" - Chicago
