Census Report Expected.

NEW ORLEANS, September s.
While today's census report on the
amount of cotton ginned up to Sept.
1. was construed as slightly bullish,
the thirteen point gain that the active
months showed at the opening was
due more to heavy spot sales at Liv-
erpool than anything else. The CEN
sus bureau figures were just about
what had been erpected.

to the issues already vaguely outlin-
ed in scientific quarters of the authet-

ity in reaching the Pole. The atten-
ton of Europe and America continues
to be centered on the two North Pole
explorers. DR.. Cooks lecture at Cop

claims, was received there without
the indications that it was accepted
as conclusive and this view was again

TENTATIVE DATE SET.
LeKisiatioa Regulating Interstate ship- snents of Intsxicatfng Liauors.

LeEtstation Regulating Enterstate Shfp-
 ments of intoxicating LiQuors.
 Washington, Feb. 2-Tomorrow week Is the tentative date set for the House to act on the proposal to regulate inter- state shipments of intoxicating liquors.
 Consideration of the revision of the penal code then will be resumed and the first subject to come up will be the liouor question. When the House ceased consideration of the revision before the holidays, there was pending an amend ment in the nature of an Insertion. of- fered by Representative Humphreys. of Mississippi. to regulate interstate ship ments of intoxicating liquors.
 Representative Humphreys and Rep resentative Miller. Of Kansas have pre- pared e new bill to be offered by Mir. Humphreys as a substitute for his amendment. 'N
 The new bill. which has tine sanction of the leaders of both sides of the House, is practically the same as the Knox bill. which passed the Senate ear- ly In this Congress. Save certain changes made, so as to have the bill conform with the legal phraseology followed in the revision of the code. tt Is said. also to avoid the alleged un. ccnstitutionslity of the Littieheid bill.
 Another change adds the District Of Columbia and islands subject to Amer lean Jurisdiction to the territory affect ed by the proposed law.
 The bill strives to accomplish three things--these are the marking of the contents of the vessels: the making certain of the delivery of intoxicating liquors only to bona fide consignors and not to fictitious persons. and the pre- vention of the delivery of liquors .. o. d. All these regulations apply only to interstate shipments. railroad compa- nies express companies and other com mon carriers being punishable.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE
 STILL IN A DEADL 0cK

Springfield. Ills, Feb. 2-Three more ballots in joint session of the General Assembly today determined that the senatorship situation is tied up as tightly now as 1t has been at any time since the deadlock began over the se- lection of a Senator to succeed Albert J. Hopkins.
 The belief is gradually taking hold that the opposition force is settling down for a long drawn out battle with the Hopkins men.
 The three ballots that were taken to- day were indicative of but little change. Hopkins ended last week with seventy two votes. He went up to seventy-four on the twenty-third ballot, remained stationary on the twenty-fourth and dropped back to seyenty-three on the twenty fifth, when the joint session arose until noon tomorrow.
 On the twenty third ballot, Lawrence B. Stringer, tDemocrat), once again forced himself to the front and became the leading candidate. On the next ball lot. Hopkins and Stringer tied with seventy -four each.
