BY Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 1O.-Senators to-
day introduced more than three hum
dred and fifty bills and resolutions,
covering a variety of subjects. Many
of these failed of passage during the
last congress and ninety per cent of
them Will receive scant consideration
at this session.
Standing out as a striking PROPOSE
tiCn was the resolution of Senator
Rayner, authorizing the president to
cause Zelaya to be apprehended as d
common criminal charged with the
murder of two Americans.
The house was in session an hour
and half and q large number of
measures were introduced there. The
feature of the proceedings was the
speech by KUSteTmaun, of Wisconsin,
denying the charge that his interest
in German shipping is so great as to
cause him to antagOGiZe Il bill for the
relief of the American merchant ma
Tine. Owing to no reports from com
mittCos, both houses adjourned. the
senate until Monday and the house un-

New York, Dec 10.-NOt since the
Sully boom of 1904 has the New York
cotton exchange witnessed more sen
sational scenes or spectacular rise
in prices than occurred today with
the announcement of the government
crop report. With galleries crowded
with visitors from the South, aug
mented by friends of spectators, the
cotton market scared TO a new high
record for the season, with gains OF
more than two dollars a bale over
yesterday. Both May and July op-
tiOns touched the high mark of 1880,
both gaining "a points over yester-
days close.
Bulls prevented a more violent ad-
vance by distributing heavy selling
orders every five points UP from 1856
for May and July. They sold enOrm-
ously, supplying the demand of shorts,
but the market continued excited IN
til the close, with estimates that five
hundred thousand bales changed
hands in the last hour. May closed
1867 and July 1874.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the
news of the governments estimate
that there were only 10,0SS,00O bales
became known. This is the smallest
crop since 1908. Immediately there
was a tremendous rush of buying or
ders and prices began to soar.
