Cotton Futures Inquiry.
Washington.-Afte hearing the
views of the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change officers with regard to the.
Scott anti-option bill, the House Com
mittee on Agriculture closed its hear
tngs with view to reporting bill
within q week. There is no ques-
ton but that the members are going
to try to frame measure which they
believe will do away with the opera
tions its members believe are neither
more nor less than CANDLES. 1t is
no secret that the cotton men who
have appeared before 1t believe that
any bill the committee frames, while
1t may do. away with some OF the
gambling, will have the effect OF
stopping great deal OF legitimate
business. They base that on the
failures of Germany In It's efforts to
regulate the various trade bodies IN
that empire.

VISITORS NOT WANTED.
samoans Say They Don't Spend
Enough on Islands.

Papeete, Tahiti.-To judge from a
petition lately addressed to the gov
ernment of the island by many mer-
chants, this is the one place on the
globe that is not desirous of tourist
travel. The petition asks that steps
be taken to prevent the regular trip
of the steamship Mariposa from San
Francisco from coinciding with the
14th of July festivities. 1t is set
forth that the presence of the ship
distracts from proper devotion to
raula-Hula and other local forms Of
patriotism incidental to the anniver-
sary of the fall of the Bastle. The
petition also explains that the tour,
lists do not spend sufficient money
ashore, preferring to eat and sleep
on board ship rather than in the
local hotels.

The comdttee of ten remained in

fused to comment upon the report
that the police would prevent a dem

There is no question that the SYM
pathetic strike will cause much suf-

received at headquarters that practi-

milk wagons and teamsters for fruit
and produce dealers, and many 9th

bill In the end tying himself UP with
MS own party. Senator Chamber
lain, Of Oregon, was the only Demo-
crat who stood with the Republicans
in favor of the bill.
AS 1t goes to the house, the bill
authorizes the various money order
postoffices to accept sums OF one dol
lar or more from depositors and 10
deposit these sums in the local banks,
where the money Is to remain un-
less withdrawn by the president In
cases of war or other exigency. In
case Of these Withdrawals the funds
are to be invested in government Sc

securities shall not draw less than
2 IA per cent interest. The con-
troll of the funds Is vested In board
of trustees composed of the postmas-
ter general, the secretary of the
treasury and the attorney general.
The aggregate balance allowed to
any depositor Is $500 and no person
is permitted to deposit more than
