The so- cialists centered their assaults upon NJ.

 They wanted an investigation of the strike situation and they pleaded against oppressive measures being used against men.
 The conservatives declared that the government was reaping only what 1t had sown. They pointed out that the successive radical governments for years had encouraged the State em- ployes to form associations and that M. Viviani. minister of Labor and M. Simyan, had voted under the DupuS ministry for M. Millerands motion to recognize the right of the postmen to strike.
 M. Simyan's defense considered of a general denial of the charges of fla voritism, whic he declared had been brought by the employees because he had refused to accept their recommen- dations. He said in his opinion, the

BRADsTREET"s REPORT.

New York, March 19.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 The introduction of the new tariff bill in Congress and the advance of the spring jobbing season toward its close have made for a rather quieter tone in trade this week.
 A fair business is doing in nearly all lines, and the turnover is in excess of a year ago at this date, but conservat- ism rules. Spring jobbing activity has passed its zenith buying Is only te cover immediate necessities. the results of Easter trade at retail are awaited with interest collections are only fair and the volume of business done this spring so far Is, In some respects, dis appointing. Jobbing trade Seems to have quieted down at a number of markets, East and West. Price re- auctions in iron and steel have brought out some new business. but unsettle- ment still rules. Pig iron stocks are accommodating and prices are weak. The same is largely true of other metals. Additional reports of wage reductions come from iron and Steel interests.
 In the cotton goods line, the spring rush is over, print cloths are quieter and bleaehed goods and cotton yarns are weaker but an important revival in export trade in cotton goods Is noted. The leather trade Is quiet, as is also the market for hides Shoe manufac- turers are approaching the end of the spring run. Eastern shipments are 24 per cent larger than year ago.

DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW.
Reports From Principal Cities Are Oi
 Hopeful Character.

1 New York, March 19--R. G. Dun
 and Company,s weekly review of trade
 Most of the tests by which trade ac- | tivity Is measured make favorable
 records. Reports from the principal
 cities are of a generally hopeful char
 is still lacking that buoyancy and
 readiness to make long commitments
 ahead. The week has witnessed the 1 introduction of a tariff bill making anI other products. but apparently less Is apprehended from this than from possible failure of Congress to heed the words of President Taft and get through with the tariff business as soon as possible. The coal trade is confronted with a labor crisis. The iron trade continues in the process of price readjustment, though slow re- vivai in structural lines is a reflection of increased activity in building. Cop per has accepted further depression.
 Much the important feature of / the week in cotton goods has been there sumption of export demand. Most of the business taken was by Southern mills and the total vol ume placed thus far is estimated at twenty thousand bales more, chiefly of three yard and 325 yard sheetings. This has re- suited in increased frmness on heavy goods of the coarser counts and quo tations show increased .irregularity Printers report little new business. while Southern ginghams continue to be active.
 In the woolen goods division cloth iers are urging the early distribution of samples with a view to going on the road the first week in April. Worsteds, both skein and piece dyed, are still in good demand with many requests for immediate delivery Woolen and worsted yarns are moving slowly with no material change in quotations. Lin en and jute yarns are strong and fair- ly active.
 New business In foot wear coptinues small, but some New EnglandS manu- lecturers have reserve orders which will last them for some time; Trade in hides shows considerable improve ment. The demand for leather con- tinues very low, consumers only sup plying their needs. Prices are weak but union backs are steady and there Is some improvement in export demand for hemlock sole.
 All kinds of upper stocks are dull.
 There is a suggestion of permanence in the slow but steady revival in structural lines of iron and steel. De- mand is light in the wire trade. but considerable inquiry has developed for pipe.

REPLIES TO CRITICS
SENATOR SMITH TALKS OF PRICE
 OF COTTON.
Says south Would Be Willing to Sell Cotton Under Operation of Law of Supply and De-
 mand.

| W ashington.. March 19.-In reply to articles in various newspapers, North i and Scieh, c-1icising his position Wlth reference to the price of cotton. senator E.. D. smith of South Carolina today issued the following statement:
 ~ seems strange that newspapers which are supposed to have an fntel- ligent idea of the men and affairs af national interests should be so ab- surdly ignorant of the real issue in- vowed In my campaign in South Car olina last year.
 At no time or place, have I said that l would work for the passage of national law fixing arbitrarily the price of cotton at 15 cents, but I did say, and do now reiterate, that the pro- 1 dueers of this great wealth producing article were. and are, entitled to A square deal. That the National Gov ernment should see to 1t that the ex- changes should be so regulated that the prices quoted by them should be the price of purchase or sale of the real commodity, and that no exchange Should be allowed to hold in stock a Iot or low grade stuff, practically un- ht Tor market, as a basis for price quotation. and forbid by law the tender or any such cotton on contract
 secondly, that as we are compelled by the nature of the case, to sell our coitoh In the open markets of the world, that we be allowed to buy such things as we need Wherever we could purchase them cheapest If, in the open markets, our cotton Is worth but and 10 cents and less. it is an iniuuity to force us to buy the manufacture necessities on a basis artificialH and arbitrarily fixed by law, that would require 15-cent cotton to meet.
 The South would be perfectly will ing to sell their cotton, under, the op- eratlon of the great law of supply and demand. if she were allowed to pur- chase what she needed under the same law. And any fair-minded citizen, whether he live in Jacksonville, Fla, or Boston. Mass, ought to have sense and patriotism enough to see the fn- fanny of forcing the producers of the real wealth of the country to sacrifice their profits to the great trusts and combines. by the operation of an in- iqultous protective tariff law.
 Fhe South may be ignorant, and South Carolina's junior Senator may be an expression of that ignorance, but he will submit his case to the great public to judge as between what he has said and what he stands for, and the high class CD editorials that have appeared on his case from cultured Bos ton and initiative Jacksonville"

HOLD THREE SUSPECTS Two Arrests Made Yes
 terday. GALLAGHER DENIES HIS GUILT Suspicious Actions Led to His
 Arrest. Much of the Feeling Because of yena- ble's Death Has Died Out, and There Is no More Talk
 of Violence.

Besides Bob Gallagher, two other ne- Eroes are held at the county jail, hay ing been arrested as suspects in regard to the murder of W. R. Venable. the North Court Street merchant. The two negroes arrested Friday are Sam Lawrence and Turner Jordan, both em- ployes of the Western Railway. the one as fireman. the other as porter.
 Lawrence and Jordan were in the store of Venable at the time of the shooting, it Is alleged, and it Is thought that they have intimate know ledge of the murder.
 Gallagher Is still held at the jail, though he stoutly professes his inno- cence. Several men and women who were said to have seen the murderer of Venable as he dashed out of the store and across the neighborhood. All declared that Gallagher was not the man.
 Gallagher. however, fits the descrip- ton of the murderer in a general way. and it was this correspondence thatfed to his arrest. As Sheriff Hood and his officers secured North Montgomery dur ing Thursday. they received informa- tion that a negro answering somewhat the description of the fugitive, had been seen entering nearby house.
 The officers, going to the house. asked for the man. The woman. who answered. tnelr call, uecidEeu tildl Ho man was inside. This. In the face of the reliable information, aroused the suspicious of the officers, and they ent- cred to find Gallagher hiding in a dark room.
 The negro could give no clear ac- count of himself. and so was taken In custody.
 Hesdeclares that he is an employe of the Western Railroad. in its shops. and that he had merely stopped at the wo- mans house on his way home.
 Fannie Gibbs, a negress, employed as a cook by Mfr. Venable during his life, was arrested b. the police yester- day, and held as having knowledge of the crime. She was released. however, later during the day, for want of evil dence.
 Much of the feeling which had been death has vanished. and the rumblings of mob talk ave disappeared There Is no fear. now, among the officials at the county jail of any attempt to take from the prison the negro Gallagher, or the two later acquisitions, Jordan and Lawrence. The fact that the Mont gomery County jail is an almost im- pregnabIe stronghold. and that it would be well-nigh impossible for intruders to gain entrance to the prisoners quar- ters without aid of the turnkey is an- other consideration which has aided in offsetting the fear of an attempt on the place by mob.
 There is nothing as yet. however, that points definitely to any of the prisoners as the real murderer, so far as can be ascertained from the police officials, who are still somewhat reti- cent In speaking of their capture.

 two markets and is believed to be far from small too. If some spot interests have sold Octobex and December. they have bought July.
 New Orleans has Iatterly been a buyer here rather than a seller. It Is also stated that mills both at home and abroad have latterly been larger buyers at the South. The local traders who have sold for a decline, have been quick to cover the slightest signs of rally.
 still there are factors inimcable to cotton for the time being. which have had a notice able effect. For one thing. speculation Is dull the outside public holding aioof. Not a few traders have sold short the idea that the ginning report. which is to be issu- td by the Census Bureau tomorrow. will be bearish. The South at times has sold. So has Liverpool and spot markets have de- clined. s<Texas has had quite little rain. and some adyices predict a large acreage for that state. In general. the advices seem to indicate that there will be decreases in the acreage. taking the cotton belt as a whole In the nature of things 1t Is yet opcertain whether another big crop will be- raised . This uncertainty coupled with the big spin ners' takings is the real bulwark of the mar ket.

ITALY FEARS WAR.

Rome. March 19.-The program pro- posed by Foreign Minister Tit tono for an international confer ence to consider the Balkan sit uation has not been made public. There is reason to believe. however. that it is based upon three points:
 First-That the powers take note Of Servla's renunciation of any demand for territorial compensation at the hands of Austria Hungary for the an nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
 Second-That the ratification of Bull garian Independence, as declared al Tiernovo, oct. 5, of last year.
 Third-The modification of Article 2e of the treaty of Berlin.
 It Is asserted here that Austrian pub. lie opinion accepted this program with satisfaction, but the fact that Austria. Hungary has increased her forces all along the frontier and has practically mobilized her fleet Is causing consid- erable anxiety in Italy. Fears are en- tertained that the existing situation will culminate in an outbreak of hos tilitieS.

Central American Presidents
 Will Probably Hold Conference

there continues a disquieting alertness and fear of outbreak among the conn tries there. which the United States and Mexico are agreed should be re- moved Both countries are quietly manoeuvering to prevent if possible any warlike manifestation. At the same time they are ready to act promptly in the situation if necessity demands.
 Ambassador de la Barra of Mexico had a long talk today with Assistant Secretary Wilson of the State Depart ment. touching the situation in Gen. tral America.
 None of the news from those coun- tries however. came to the department and there was a. lack of news from the American representatives in that part of the world.
 The Mexican gunboat General Guer- rero, now at Salina Cruz. Is preparing to go to Central American ports It is probable If a conference of presi. dents Is held 1t will take place on this vessel or one of the American war vessels.
