LICENSES.

The sheriff's office has issued licen-
SEES so far this year for the season 1909
1910. Mr.. Mouch, the diligent game
warden for this parish, is always on
the go now looking for viOlators Of
the game laws and every once and
awhile he nabs one without a license.
When applying for d hunting license,
the applicant must give, besides his
name, his age, color, and place of
birth. The other day an old negro
mar walked into the sneriff's office
and requested a hunting license and,
after depositing his dollar, he WAS
asked the usual questions and to the
last he replied as follows:
Sheriff: Were you born in this
State?
Old Man: No, sir; l was born in
Pointe Coupee.
We wonder if he got mixed up in his
geography in thinking that this great
State OF our was a part of Pointe
Coupee? We know some people who
think that WAY.

SOCIAL.

We think that Mrs. Frank StuntZ
and Mrs. H. l.. Oatley of Cinclare must
hAve spent a busy day shopping in
Baton Rouge on Wednesday if we
judge from the number of packages
which they carried home.
DR.. H. Guy Richie of Chamberlin has
purchased a Buick No. 10 model auto,
mobile which he received by boat last
Friday. The doctor went to New Or
leans last Wednesday where he pur-
chased his machine and intended run,
ming it up from the city but the rain
of that night prevented his doing so.
His automobile is called the Baby
Buick and seats four people.

REMARkABLE BREAK
 IN PRICE OF COTTON
New Crop Delivery Sold for s2 Bale Less Than Thursdays Closing New York Market Excited.


 New York, July 16.-One of the most remarkable breaks in the history of the New York cotton market occurred today as result of special report on the boil weevil situation by the government entomologist, Dr. Hunter. At the end of the decline, cotton for ne crop delivery was selling at $2 a bale less than the closing price of Thursday. The break was marked by panicky liquidation and intense excite ment such as has seldom been equalled in times of complete 'demoralization. Within half an hour prices decliEed fully 35 points; and while the market recovered a few points of the loss, the close was barely steady.
 The decline of today came as the continuation of gradually increasing lack of confidence in the stability of prices, which had nearly reached the 53-cent level earlier in the week, when the low July condition report was re- ceived, showing a continuation of hot, dry weather in Texas, where the crop was supposed to be rapidly deteriorat- ing. ~
 Bullish interests were disappointed that crop disaster predictions did not create enormous demand for cotton to insure future supplies and the selling movement which started around 12.75 for December early in the week, con tinued in increasing volume until at the opening this morning December contracts were selling at 12.l5.
 Upon the publication of the boil weevil statement, indicating that the pest was less threatening this year than last, liquidation reached record breaking proportions, and the decline was not checked until December con- tracts had sold at~11.92, 34 points be- lnuy tha cIQQinp fl piIraS 0f tho rraviauS nights, and 95 points ($4.75 per bale) below the high record of last Tues day.
 There was a slight recovery later, with December closing at 1905 bid, a net loss of 34 points for the day.

As to where He Stands Regarding Downward
 Revision of the Tariff
REPLIES TO REPUBLICAN DELEGATION
Which had Called the White House to Protest Against Free Raw Materials in the Pending Tariff Bill1 Of ficia Statement from President Creates Decided Sem ation Among Senators and Representatives

Washington, July 16.-All doubt as to where President Taft stands with regard to the downward revision of the tariff was swept away today when a statement was given out at the White house setting forth in detail what the president had to say to twenty-three republican members of congress who called to protest against putting raw materials on the free list.
 Committed to Downward Revision.
 The president in, this statement de- clares that the republican party is committed to downward revision; that he has never had any other idea of the Chicago platform, and that he personally has promised a downward revision to the people.
 May Exercise Power of Veto.
 This statement Is interpreted in. some quarters here tonight as a di- rect notification to the conferees on the tariff bill that if the measure they finally agree upon does not consti- tute material reduction in specific duties the president will exercise his power of veto.
 White House Official Statement.
 Later in the day the following off cial statement was made at the White house:
 Mir. Young of Michigan, opposed free ore. MT. Mondell, opposed free coal or reciprocity with Canada and free hides: each on the ground that the policy would injure the interests in his state, and a discussion. was par ticipated in by other representatives, who urged that the doctrine of free raw materials was not a republican doctrine. The president replied that he was not committed to the, people of free raw material, but that Nhe was committed to the people of a down. had promised, and that he was obljg- ed to look at the matter. not from the standpoint of any particular dis trict, but from the standpoint of the whole country and also from the standpoint of responsibility for the en- tire republican party. He said the question in each case wa9 a question of fact, to be determined by evidence as to whether the present duty was needed for protection or whether the rate was excessive. so that a down ward revision or putting the article in the free list would not Mjure the industry. He repeatea0 the platform of the republican party and said that he had always understood that it meant a downward revision in many instances, though perhaps in some few instances an increase might be need ed; that he reached this conclusion of the platform on which he under stood to be the protection and it's justification, namely. that after an in dustry was protected by duty equal to the difference between the cost of production abroad and the cost of pro- duction in this country. including a fair profit to the manufacturer, the energy and enterprise of American business men and capitalists. the ef-

HEAVY THUNDER SHOWERS
 BREAK JULY DROUGHT
Another Warm Wave Coming, to Be
 Followed by 5arometrie Disturbance.

Washington, July 16.-The showers of the present week that have partial ly relieved the drought in the middle Atlantic and New England states, will be followed in those districts by two or three days of fair weather and seasonable temperatures. according to a special bulletin issued by the wealth CT bureau this afternoon. The next barometric disturbance from the west will reach the Atlantic seaboard from about the twentieth to the twenty third, and it is expected to be pre- ceded by a warm wave and attended by copious showers from the Missis- sippi valley to the Atlantic coast
 New York, July 16.-Heavy thunder showers this afternoon broke the se- verest July drought southeast New York state has ever known. The ba- rometer fell rapidly and this was im- mediate relief from the high tempera- ture of the past two weeks.
 Light rains were also reported from other points in the parched area in New England, New Jersey. eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and eastern New York generally.
 Up today the rainfall for the mQnth in this section had been ouly one-fifth of an inch. With but little rain and such high temperatures the conditions in this city, particularly in the crowd ed districts of the East Side, had been almost unbearable.

CRANE FOR CHINESE POST.
Prominent Chicago Manufacturer to B,
 Minister to Pekin.

Washington, July 16.-President Taft has decided to appoint Charles R. Crane of the manufacturing firm of Crane & company of Chicago as minister to China
 Mir. Crane is a member of the firm of which his father, R. T. Crane, was the organizer, and is still the head it being one of the largest in Chicago. President Taft regards him as one of the ablest business men in the country and declared today that he was de- lighted to be able to secure such a man for the Chinese mission, which he re- gards as one of the most important in the diplomatic service.
 MT Crane has had large experience in foreign affairs. has been seventeen times to Russia and speaks the Rus sian language. His uncle, Professor Williams, was professor of Chinese at Yale and wrote a book on China. MT. Crane was communicated with several days ago and today notified the presi- dent that he would accept. The Chi nese government now is being com municated with.
 In view of the active policy of the state department in endeavoring to se- cure commercial opportunities in China the president has endeavored to secure exactly the right type of representative for that mission and expressed himself today as feeling sure that MT. Crane would be able to materially further the interests of the United States in this wide field for development
 New York, July 16-Charles R. Crane of Chicago, the newly selected minister to China, who is stopping in this city. tonight issued a formal state ment regarding his acceptance of the post, which he says he regards as of exceptional importance because of the present commercial opportunity in the far east. One of the principal aims of my incumbency," says MT. Crane 'will be the aiding of American enter prises to secure and maintain an ade- quate foothold in a country which promises to be the richest market of the world.
 My reasons for accepting the Picking post are not a result of nasty action, but spring from ideas and opinions which have been formulating for years. Without meaning to detract from oth- CT diplomatic positions, I have long considered the Peking post of unusual perhaps predominating, importance to our nation. I may say that, highly complimented as I would be by any opportunity to serve my country in an honorable capacity, I would not have accepted any other position in the gov- ernment.
 Tn my opinion China Is now the focus of the worlds greatest interna- tional problem. and | regard the in- terest of the United States in this problem as fundamental"

TARIFF coNFEREEs
 ss1 MAKE GREAT PROGRESS.
Rates on Silks and Woolen Goods De-
 termined.

Washington, July 16.-Twenty-four hours would see the end of the work of the senate and house conferees on the tariff bill and a substantial agree ment upon the questions at issue but for the five propositions-iron ore. coal, hides, oil and lumber-upon which the president stands firm for radical reductions or even abolition of the tariff. This is the way the conferees describe the situation, and upon Cap itol Hill they are facetiously calling these propositions ''the national is sues"
 Great progress was made by the con- ferees today. A preponderance of the differences in nearly all of the sched- ules have been adjusted. In each schedule, however, there are a few ton in order to enable the conferees to get together.
 The rates on silks and wooler goods were determined today. The senate won on both of these important sub jects. On silks there will be consid- erable advantage oyer existing duties and on woolens there is to be no change from the, ,Dingley law except in wool tops, which are to be given a new classification. The duty on tops is pro- hibitive now and it is predicted that 1t will continue so even after the re- duction is put into force.
 The duty on cheap grades of silk has been reduced, but an increase was made on the more costly silks velvets, chenilles and chiffons High grade silks were classed by the senate as luxuries and it is estimated that the new rates will yield more than $3, 000,- 900 above the revenues from importa- tions of silks under the Dingley law.
 Another important schedule disposed of today was wines, spirits and liquors. It Is estimated that the new rates will produce about $s,000.000 annually more than derived under the Dingley rates.
