CALLS REGULATION OF
COTTON TRADING FUTILE.
Exchange Officer Anoears Be-
fore House Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-A. X
Marsh. president of the New York
Cotton Exchange, at the House COM
mittee hearing on the proposed legisla-
tion to prohibit dealing in cotton flu
lures, in replying to a question by
Chairman Scott if there was much
speculation in cotton by members OF
the exchange who entered into con-
tracts for the purchase or sale Of the
staple with the hope of profit replied
that there is no member of the eX-
change whose entire fortune is not re-
sponsible for his contracts with his
fellow members.
How can the New York merchants
furnish the spinners?" Chairman Scott
asked, after Mr.. Marsh had admitted
that spinners could not afford to buy
future contracts on the New York Cot
ton Exchange unless they exercised
mercantile functions.
Why" replied Mr.. Marsh. the spin
ner gets it from the merchant who has
the true New York stock scattered
from one part CT the world to another.
all through the South in Europe and
tNcii do ldI Oll dS JdDGil. lie 4NtW
York stock is all the cotton in the
world against which contracts have
been sold to buyers in New York. There
may be part of this New York stock
in Liverpool, Bremen, Savannah or
Austin. Every contract on the New
y orll Cotton Exchange is enforceable
and legal"
Mr.. Marsh declared, answered Chair
man Scott, that any member of the eX
change connected with contracts, in
which the total amounts to be gained
or lost was determined in advance,
would be summarily expelled. He
wound up his testimony with the state
ment that the bill introduced by Mr..
Scott to regulate the transactions on
cotton exchanges was both futile and
unconstitutional

STEEL CORPORATION BUYS
$4,000 TONS OF PIG IRON
Biggest Order Placed Since
Panic of Two Years Ago.

PITTSBURG, Feb, 12.-Announee-
ment has been made that the United
States Steel Corporation has bought
$4,000 tons OF standard bessemer pig
iron at SIS, valley furnaces, equivalent
to 1880, delivered Pittsburg. Deliveries
are to be made in equal quantities
during March, April and May The
tonnage is divided equally between w.
p. Snyder & Co. and the furnaces rep
resented by J. G. Butler, jr., at Youngs-
town. 1t is the biggest sale since the
inception of the panic, more than two
years ago.
This is the first large transaction in
bessemer pig iron since last November
In September, october and early No
vember there was heavy movement
in bessemer iron, pushing the price up
TO sig. valley 1t has since remained
nominally at that price and technically
the steel Corporations present purchase
is at 81 under the market, but prac-
tically is at what is regarded as a fair
price, considering the declines in other
grades of pig iron since the high point
of early November.

and Arthur T. Lyman, trustees under
the will of George Beatty Blake, of
Boston, against the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company its officers and direc-

suing to restrain the traction company
from paying the special excise tax
which has been assessed in excess of
200, The complaint says that the

power. A preliminary injunction is
asked for. pending the action.
Judge Coke heard argument yester-
DAY afternoon on a demurrer and sus-
tanned it. The effect of the action is to
send the case direct to the Supreme

RetrenChment Discussed BY
Public Generally.
MORE WORK TO BE DONE
Another Attack on the Budget viii
Be Made When Committee Meets
Authorizations to Present Report
That Will Go Through.

Retrenchment was the all absorbing
topic of discussion yesterday. Among
the city officials, city employees,
councilmen, politicians, business men
and public generally, the work OF, the
councils retrenchment committee
was discussed at length. In the city
departments where cuts were made
there was naturally a certain amount
of dissatisfaction. And in the one de-
partment where the pruning" knife
was not applied, there was general
rejoicing.
A feature of the committees work
which furnished food for thought for
many was the unanimjty of the COM
mittee's action on every proposition.
Every ward in the city and every fac
ton in the council Is represented on
the retrenchment committee. Every
thing that was done met with the
hearty support and approval of each
member and this would seem to indi-
cate that there will be little opposi-
tion to any section of the commit
tees report when the report reaches
the council. 1t is the earnest desire
and purpose of the committee TO
frame a report that will meet with
the approval of large majority of
the city solOns even thought it does
not meet with the approval of all OF
them.
While it accomplished far more
than any one had even anticipated
il could at one sitting, the commit
tee has not yet completed its work.
Further reduction in the expenses of
the city government is considered
necessary and when it assemblies
again on Tuesday, March 29, the
committee will attack the budget for
a second time.
The matter of reducing the salary
of the police justice and consolidat-
ing the Offices of city clerk and city
auditor will be disposed of at that
time. A purchasing committee also
will be provided for and it is claim
ed by some that such committee
will save the city a considerable sum
every year. However, no accurate
estimate as to that sum can be made
until after the plan has been in
operation a year or more.

Seadoos, Truly.


The admiralty scheme instituted a
year ago for the use of dogs in naval
establishments ashore has been a
success. Recently further orders
we're placed with Major Richardson,
the well-known breeder of blood
hounds and pioneer OF the new
scheme, for the supply Of dogs for
additional stations. Some IL to Is
stations within the British Isles have
been supplied. Admiralty rules for
the use Of the animals have been
drawn up.
The type of dog has been produced
as the outcome of long experiments
in breeding, and its strong points
are a keen scent, watchfuiness and
sayagery. 1t is officially known as
the executive" dog, and in character
embraces the points OF the retriever,
the Airedale and the collie. For Ad-
miraity requirements it Is used from
10 O'Clock at night until O'Clock the
next morning, and Is trained either
to give the laamr or to attack any
unauthorized person on government
promises
At 400 yards beyond the range OF
ordinary hearing they can detect the
slightest sound, and for seeming pur
roses are almost as valuable as
bloodhounds. At night time their
power of scent Is quickened. and
while on duty they run loose without
being naturalization Telegraph
