 The market generally was a narrow affair as so many people are holding off for tomorrow's Government report. of a l8,5oo,Ooo crop. and. therefore. the publication tomorrow can only be of statistical intsrest. there is the one less condition of the market owing to speculative restriction, somewhat larger ginning figure than expected may be used. Consensus of opinion here is that around 13,3o0.600, includ- ing linters, will be shown.
 The market grew steady when the wheat forecast came in. promising gen. eral showers in the central and east ern belt. At least a week more of dry weather Is needed there to go on with preparations and rains now can only meaI further delay. Indicatio IS point to some rain also in Oklahoma and North Texas.
 This demand from the Orient comes too frequently not to suggest that an important change is going on in pub lie ideas, tastes or wants, and, if in the future that part of the world ap- pears as a consumer of cotton goods on Western proportions. thence we will move to a much higher level and will stay there. Of course, such change in values" comments a New Orleans broker, does not come all in one day. but whenever cotton sinks to near the cost of production, 1t Is worth the while of big capital which works only on basis of facts and influences. to take stand. :"

GALLAGHER is WARY
WITNESS
SECOND DAY ON STAND FOR FOR
MER SUPERVISOR IN CAL.
HOUN TRIAL.

San Francisco, April 22.-Picking his
way carefully between the pitfalls of
gruelling cross examination, James
l.. Gallagher, chief witness for the
prosecution in the trial of Patrick Cal
houn, finished the second day of his
ordeal with a circumstantial narra-
tion of the arrangements whereby he
and 16 other supervisors of the
Schmitz board escaped punishment
for accepting the bribes paid them by
Abraham Ruef. Gallagher displayed
more emotion than has been noticed
in any of the 10 inquisitions previously
held, and it was evident that the
questions of A. A. Moore, who is con-
Quoting the cross-examinaton on be-
half of the defendant, had seriously
disturbed the compacency with which
he has heretofore guarded himself in
his appearance upon the witness
stand.
The subject of immunity granted the
former supervisors, always a topic
productive of trouble, was under dis
cussion, and Gallagher was being
asked to describe the conditions that
preceded his interview with Rudolph
Spreckles in the Preside military res
ervation, where, as chairman of the
board. he obtained assurance that he
and his colleagues would escape pun
ishment.
You surely did not go there on a
mere suggestion, with the intent to
confess your participation in a multi
plicity of crimes" asked Mr.. Moore.
t@ t1,,+
time" replied Gallagher. My action
was based on my own knowledge of
the facts and the disclosures made by
the supervisors who had already been
trapped I had reason to believe that
Supervisors Lonergan and Walsh had
already made confessions and that
Boxton had done so or was about To
confess"

CREATES COMM0T|ON
IN THE HAMS
TRIAL
ALIENIST RETAINED BY DE. cNSE
GIVES TESTIMONY NOT Ex-
PECTED OF HIM.

Flushing, n. Y, April pa commo-
ton was caused in the camp of the
defense today at the trial of Captain
Peter c. Hams, Jr., charged with MUIR
dering William E. Anns. 1t came from
declaration by DR., l.. S. Manson, an
alienist retained by the Defense who
declared that in his opinion Captain
Hams was not insane at present and
that the defense did not intend to raise
such an issue, but would rest with the
proof that the defendant was insane
at the time of the shooting
The physician was severely censured
by Hams lawyers for expressing this
opinion. and afterWard partly denied
having made the statement credited to
him.
Joseph F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defense, admitted that two of their
alienists believed the prisoner was
now sane, but said he did not agree
with them.

UNCLE SAM THWARTS
F|L|BUSTER PARTY

City of Mexico, April 22.-According
to a story reaching this city from Pro-
gresso, "A port on the Yucantan coast,
former President Castro of Venezuela
intended to make a landing on the
Mexican or Central American coast
and organize an expedition for descent
on one of the smaller ports of Venez-
uela. The vigilance of the United
States defeated his plans. but ship
load of his followers are yet awaiting
him.
The discovery of the plot was un-
expectedly made by a party of fisher
men who had been blown far off their
course. The fishing smack put in at
cove in one of the islands which
dot the peninsula coast. They were
surprised by a big vessel rounding a
nearby point Her decks We're crowd
ed with armed men. The ship had no
colors and the fishermen did not see
her until she was so close that they
could hear the voices on board. Then
they hailed the ship and the latter
quickly put to sea without firing,

cisco, charged with bribing Woodford
d. Harlan and William E. Walk, for
merly of the general land office, to re-
veal to him the contents of a secret
report of government agents in con-
nection with western land transactions,
Justice Gould refused to admit in evil
dence the money which the govern
ment claims had been paid by Benson
to Walk.
The government will conclude it's tes-
timony Monday.
William ], Burns, prominently iden-
titled with the San Francisco graft
cases, was witness. The only evil
dence was his corroboraton of Har-
lans statement that the letter had been
written to Benson asking him to come
to Washington.

ING SCHOONER MAKES
SWORN STATEMENT.

Vancouver, B. c., April 22.-Captain
Sinclair and the crew of the cap
tured American fishing schooner
Charles Levi Woodbury. left for Seat
tie today on the steamer Whatcom,
after leaving sworn statements in the
hands of United States Consul West.
Il took the statement of Captain
Sinclair and some of his crew yester-
day." declared Consul Colonel West,
'and I also interviewed Captain New
comb Of the Kestrel Close investiga-
tion of the charts and comparisons of
statements leads me to believe that
there is not the slightest doubts that
the schooner was not in Canadian
water when she was sighted by the
Kestrel, but that she drifted in while
fishing.
MY opinion is that the Dominion
government will recognize the possi-
bility of the Woodbury. having drifted
inside the limit while her skipper and
crew were busily engaged in fishing
operations, and that the imposition
of a fine will meet the case

MILWAUKEE AND GREAT NORTH
ERN ARE FIGHTING pEsPER-
ATELY FOR GROUND.
SENSATIONAL DASH MADE
Attorneys for Both Corporations Make
Mad Rush for the Court House to
File Papers on Important Lands, but
the Puget Sound Road Is Again
Ahead Of Its Opponent.

kalispell, April 22.-In the fierce
Sound Railway company and the Great
Northern for right of way through the
canyon on North Fork, north of Co
ram, the Milwaukee people continue to
score. By sharp legal turn today
the Milwaukee attorney has blocked
the Great Northern apparently effectu-
ally by filing notice of lis pendens in
proposed condemnation suits prior to
the Great Northern's deed to portions
Of land covered by the proceedings A
sensational dash was made by Attorney
Noffsinger and o. G. Clay, right Of
way agent for the Great Northern, in
an automobile to Columbia Falls yes
terday afternoon on secret business in
connection with a coup which, If 1t
had been successful, would have eff
fectually blocked the Milwaukee for
several miles
A five day option was secured on an
extensive tract of timber land owned
by the Hunt Hollister Lumber com
pany, covering seven sections through
which both roads will run, for a con-
sideration of $4,000
The run was made back to Kalispeli
and at IL O'clock last night the county
clerk was found and the instrument
placed on record. Six hours previous
ly, however, the Milwaukee attorney
had filed condemnation suits covering
the same lands. 1t is asserted that by
virtue of this condition and the further
fact that the Milwaukee stakes were
ri m
the lands in question is secured and
the Milwaukee people now claim to be
in position to negotiate at leisure for
the right of way. The Great Northern
holds only one deed and five contracts
for deeds. while the Milwaukee has
filed seven deeds and is protected by
pending suits on most of the lands held
by the Great Northern under con-
tract
The presence of the Great Northern
construction contractors, Porter Broth
ers & Welch, at Bolton lends an inter-
esting aspect to the situation. While
ostensibly preparing for work on
change of line near that station, the
proximity of a we'll equipped grading
crew to the scene of the Great North
ern struggle is recognized as of stu
pendous Importance, should exigencies
of the fight at some strategic point
develop in such way that the throw
ing of a grading crew into actual con-
struction work would insure victory.
At 5 o'clock this evening the Great
Northern completed the tardy prepara-
tion of its condemnation papers. There
ensued spirited race between attor-
neys for the two roads to file their
documents first and the Milwaukee at
tOrney was again victorious. This is
the third condemnation suit instituted
by the Milwaukee company and is di-
rected against the Great Northern rail-
road company as defendant

The Young Turks Win Signal Victory Over
the Sultan in Compromise Agreement
RULER ACCEPTS THE INEVITABLE WITH GOOD GRACE
Government Will Be in Hands of Minister Responsible to
Parliament Only, Thus Robbing Emperor of His
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Riong and Mas
sacres in Turkish Territories

Constantinople, April 22.-The young
Turks have won another victory over
Sultan Abdul Hamid, but whether the
sultan will remain as sovereign is yet
to be decided although he has offered
to place the affairs of the government
entirely in the hands of ministers re-
sponsible to parliament. The sultan
also agreed to replace the Constanti-
nople garrison by troops from the
corps that have practically been in
vesting the city for four days. A
number of deputies and some opera
tors met today at San Stefano and are
now discussing the question of depos-
ing the sultan. The concentration of
the investing army is now complete
and doubtless the next "a hours will
decide the fate of the sultan, who re-
mains passively at his palace await
ing the issue.
The public will scarcely be aware
of the change, and it is certain that
it will be accomplished without vio-
lence. For the present there need be
little fear of bloodshed within the
city, but there is much to be feared
from the riots and massacres that
'Ns''
under Turkish domination.
Fewer priests are seen on the
streets. Many of them have left the
city for Asia, threatening to raise the
country and return with the faithful
to rescue the grand caliph and save
religion from the unbelievers.
Newspaper extras tonight announced
that the crisis was past, and this
caused general relief. Politics were
discussed freely in the cafes, but the
sultan was rarely mentioned. The
reckless talk of a few nights ago
about the sovereign waS not heard.
None in Sight.
A correspondent drove to the Yildiz
kiosk which, SO far as it has been
seen from the approaches, appeared to
be unoccupied. Not a sentinel or SOL
dier was in sight even at the gates.
The fleet sailed this afternoon for
the Mediterranean, ostensibly for ma
neuvers, but really as guarantee
that the investing army would not be
opposed. The sultan or those acting
in his behalf has supplied the consti-
tutionalists with list of the princi-
pal speakers of the palace group who
brought about the events of the last
week. 1t is understood that there are
no reprisals except in the case of the
palace officials implicated.
The members of the cabinet today
offered their designations to the grand
vizier, Tewfik Pasha, but he declined
to accept them. He said that he felt
that the ministers ought to remain in
office rather than leave the country
without government. All consented
to remain. AS a matter of fact the
cabinet Is practically young Turk
cabinet, because the ministers who
were appointed since April 13 are in
no way disposed to do anything in op-
position to the wishes Of the commit
tee of union and progress.

Ordered to Hurry.

Washington, April 22.-The follow
ing wireless message has been sent to
the Tahoma, which sailed from Bal
timore on April II:
Important. Tahoma reach Gibraltar
very earliest date. Make all speed.
Touch at ST. Michaers for coal if
necessary. Acknowledge"
Should this message reach the Ia
homa she should arrive at Gibraltar
by morning of May /, calculating on
a stay of one day at st. Michael's to
coal the vessel. A cable will be sent
to her at St MichaePs so that in
event of the wireless message not be-
ing received her trip from that place
to Gibraltar will be expedited, in
which event she probably will reach
that port May 8, two days ahead of
her schedule time.
The Tahoma has a crew of 81 men
and a battery of three siX-pound
Hotchkiss guns and a full comp ement
of small arms.

May Cause Trouble.

Constantinople. April 22.-Grave
news was received here today from
Erzerum, the principal town of Turk
ish Armenia. The transports of de-
light of the people at the proclamation
of constitutional government are now
being supplanted by a movement in
favor of the Sheri laws and the sui
tan, which, it is feared, may lead to
a conflict between Christians and
Moslems. The wave of fanacticism
which originated at Adana some 10
days ago, apparently is spreading
generally through the eastern prov
inces. The Christian villages in the
vilayets of Aleppo and Sivias have
been attacked by Kurds, Circassians
and nomads and thei inhabitants are
imploring the porte to send troops for
their protection.
