FLEET STARTS
 ON WAY HOME.
BattIeships Set Sail Today
 From Manila.
LAST LEd OF THE CRUISE.

Stay at Manila Was the Final Ex'
 tended sojourn of Vessels at Any
 Port Before Sighting Homs--sperry
 Bids Farewell to Governor Smith
 and Other Philippine Officials.
 Crowds Lining Harbor Cheer Ships
 as They Pull Up Anchor.
 Manila Dec. 1. Promptly at 8 o'clock today Admiral Sperry gave the signal, and with the long homeward bound pennants of the vessels stream ing in the breeze that blew across Manila harbor Uncle Sam's great fleet of battleships started from here today on the last leg of their cruise around the world They will stop at other ports before seeing the Atlantic coast of the United States rise before their eyes, but, the stay at Manila which ended today was the last long sojourn of the fleet before reaching hope
 The last leave taking of the military and civil officers stationed here with the men of the fleet was simple cer- emony. In the presence of an assem- blaze of Americans and well known natives Governor Smith in short speech extended to Admiral Sperry and his men the best wishes of the island CTS for a safe and pleasant voyage to the homeland. In reply the admiral re turned his thanks for the hospitality shown to himself and his men and ex- pressed their wishes for the continued prosperity and peace of the islands un- der Governor Smiths administration.
 Shortly before 8 o'clock the sixteen big white and buff floating fortresses began to weigh anchor, and on the stroke of the hour the Connecticut, flying the double starred pennant of the commander in chief. moved out from the anchorage in Cavite harbor and headed down the bay.
 A little later the fleet in double col umn formation, with each battleship in perfect alignment steamed down the main roadsted toward Corrigedor island.
 2 As the heavy smoke began to ascend from the smokestacks of the Connecti- cut flagship of the fleet, and the kick ing up of the water under her stern proclaimed the fact that her propellers had begun to move for the beginning of the end of the great cruise tremen- dous cheers and shouts of good wishes in various tongues arose from the crowds lining the shores of the bay.
 It seemed as though all Manila and it's suburbs had turned out to wish the vessels. godspeed Not even the enor nous groups that lined the shores of Sydney harbor and gave our vessels so royal sendoff at the Australian port were more enthusiastic. than N Ma nila crowds.

White House last spring. Shortly aft CT the conference the president ap- pointed the commission. which has been engaged ever since in the collec- ton of statistics relating to the rate of use-and abuse if the statisticians are rightly informed-of the natural re- sources of the United States.
 Probably the most interesting fea- ture of the meetings will be the pub lication of the national inventory, the aggregate of the state inventories made by the governors. In it will be listed, as nearly as may be at this time, the natural resources of the Unit ed States-in other words. the con. tents of Uncle Sans pocketbook..
 Statistics will be presented to show how soon the old gentleman will be bankrupt if the present rate of con- sumption of his wealth is maintained. In some quarters, notably in the White House. he is considered one of the worst spendthrifts in the history of the world, and at the meetings of the commission attempts will be made to devise plan whereby he may be induced to moderate the rate of ex- penditure of his rapidly diminishing patrimony Unless this is done he will find himself stripped soon, say the pessimists. -
 Prominent among the men who gath cred here to discuss the problem of conserving our natural wealth are the members of the executive committee of the commission, with Clifford Pin chot, chief of the bureau of forestry of the department of agriculture, at their head The other members of the executive committee are Representa- tive Theodore F. Burton of Ohio, who knows more about rivers and harbors than any other man in America; Sen- ators Smoot of Utah and Nelson of Minnesota, who are greatly interested In western lands: the Hon. John Dal- szeH of Pennsylvania. ". U. McGee, the head on the inland waterways commission; Overton W Price, Mfr. Pinchot's right hand man in the for estry bureau; George Woodruff, assist ant attorney general for the interior department and Joseph A. Holmes, the chief of the technologIc branch of the United States geological survey.
 On Dec. 8 large number of gov ernors will get together again in the joint conservation commission to dis cuss the question of conserving the country's natural resources. They will be joined by many notable citi- zens. among whom will be John Mitch ell, James j. Hill, John Hays Ham, mond and senators and representatives from all parts of the United States.

 Extraordinary precautions were tak. en in view of a possible hostile dem onstration. Mime. Steinheil was brought to the court at an early hour from the historic Conciergerie.
 Mime. Steinheil's counsel, M. Aubin, retired from the case. The reason giy- en for this is that he took up the cssc prior to the criminal indictment, but that he now preferred to turn 1t over to n special assize court advocate, as he is not versed in that class of work.

BEARlSH FIGURES
AFFECTED COTTON
Activity in Local Market on
10 SAC Basis,

Bearish Weekend figures, showing
smaller spinners' takings than esti-
mated, together with a slump at
Liverpool towards the close of the
English market, led to small net
losses in the American cotton markets
yesterday A slight recovery was
made over opening values. Trading
was not very animated and price
changes, were infrequent
New York opened 6 to 9 points low
er and worked still lower In the
latter part of the session the market
steadied The close was little off
from the best, points lower for all
active positions as compared with
the close for Friday with the tone
steady. Spot prices were unchanged
New Orleans opened 4 to points
lower, prices moving in a narrow
limit during the session The best
prices were obtained near the close,
but slight weakness was manifested
at the last, when prices reached a
level to points below the close
for Friday. Spot quotations were UNI
changed.
Liverpool was due up and open
ed points higher to IL points
lower. The close was easy to 6
points below the final for Friday. Spot
prices were reduced points, with
sales of 5000 bales.
Receipts at all ports for the day
were 10000 bales, against 49,919 for
the same day last year, being below
expectations.
Considerable activity was manifest
ed in the local market yesterday,
about IT'S bales changing hands.
The cotton was nearly all of the high
er grades, which sold on basis of
10 ga cents for good middling Of
ferings of the lower grades were neg
lected. The quotations are reduced
Ia of cent to conform to the sales
of yesterday. The receipts by wagon
for the day were 101 bales.
