When asked what further ac.
ton he intended to take in pur-
suance Of his investigation Mr..
Moore said.
Il shall proceed just as | al
ways do it matters of this kind.
Mr.. Vardaman is in error when
he says that | have no authority
to make the investigation. My
authority is conferred by statute
and also by legislative appoint
ment.
This is not the first time

gagged in an audit. had a
similar trouble while checking
the accounts of the defaulting

tion is concluded / will make a

Vardaman has seen fit to refuse
me any assistance in this audit,

have been beneficial, but | will
no doubt be able to get to the

Quarantine Money Involved.
From an authentic source it is
Learned that Accountant Moore
intended to open up a number OF
new matters pertaining to ex
Governor Vardaman's financial
transactions, among them being
the manner in which he expend-
el over $4,000 in quarantine
money during the year 1905.
When yellow fever appeared
! in New Orleans during that year
there was no appropriation avail
able for establishing quarantines,
and ex Governor Vardaman bor-
rowed about $4,000 from the
banks of Jackson, first writing
members of the legislature ask.
| in : if they would agree to reim-
b lrse the banks for the sums
thus borrowed.
Mr.. Vardam en- submitted a
mes sage to the legislature stating
the amount he had. borrowed. but
failed to furnish an itemized
statement showing to whom the
money had been paid and for
what purpose. TIE appropri-
alton was made, but it is now
sta led that the public accountant
has discovered a number of ir-
regularities and seemingly mex
plicable things in connection
with payments, and he desires tl
make a thorough probing Of the
quarantine fund, in addition to
the contingent fund. the battle
ship silver service fund. the Bry.

lish-American war fund, and 9th

man while governor.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Breaking OF the
drought in Oklahoma eased the wheat
market today. Some places reported
that the rains had revived fields which
had been considered beyond assist
ance. Other dispatches said that be-
cause of the downpour the damage by
dry weather would be confined to eX-
treme high winds and to soft wheat,
Predicted heavy shipments from Rus
STA and the Argentine proved OF further
aid to the bears. Trade here, how
over. was very light. Opening prices
were "a to Il lower all around. May
started at LO1 to 1.0tis, touched 1,01A
Q1.01% and fell back TO 1.01b.
With Argentine corn being pressed
for sale Notwithstanding bad crop re-
ports, the market in Chicago tended
downward. May opened Is to u off Mt
1879 to 80, and for some time held near
the lower level.
Oats were slow, but were sustained
by q few resting orders at a shade
under the market. May started a six
teenth down to an equal amount up at
s41s to 34Es, and steadied at 34h@34I.

count OF n lighter run of hogs West.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-the cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to a decline of 4 points and
active positions sold 3 to 4 points lower
right after the call under scattering
~liquidations inspired by someT hat dis
appointing cables and reports that New
England %spinners favored a curtail-

whose buying of the near months was
the feature yesterday, gave the mar
ket support again on the setback this
morning. Southern advices continued
bullish as to the spot situation. and
while more or less unsettled in tone
the market steadied up TO practically
the closing figures of last night before
the end of the first hour.
Offerings became heavier above ff-
teen cents for May and July and prices
eased off TO a net loss of about ACE
points during the late forenoon, but
the selling was not aggressive on dips
and by midday the market was steady
at a rally Of 2 or 8 points from the

LONGW0RTH'S TARIFF BILL
THROWN INTO DISCARD.
Republicans in Committee Lean
TO Dalzell's Idea,

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan 1a.-At q
meeting yesterday OF the Republican
members of the committee of ways and
means, the Longworth bill, which was
supposed to represent the ideas OF the
administration on tariff board iegisla-
ton, was thrown into the. discard. The
measure was rejected by IL vote OF
S to 4.
The s~tandpatters who voted TO reject
the Longworth bill. did not do so as u
rebuke to the administration. It is the
understanding here that while they
favor the passage of a BAL creating a
body to inquire into cost production OF
articles affected by the tariff, they OBJ
jected to following the lead uf Repre-
sentative ~Longworth, who was one of
the first Of the regular Republicans to

MANAGEMENT EXPECTS
TO TAP RICH ORE VEIN.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 19.--At the an
nual meeting OF the Lower Mammoth
Mining Company the shareholders re-
elected the old board, add ng w. NJ.
H~avenor. The annual report showed
expenditures of $67,O62. met by ore
sales of SOL, 691. and assessments. Cash
on hand January / was $l.SSb, and
there was an oyerdraft of $1,000.
In his report for the veal Superin-
tendent e. c. Coffin enters into detail
regarding the results of the develop.
ments from the 1900 to the 200-toot
levels. The 1000 level contained a very
promising showing for a time, but the
values were in punches. The officials
brought the men temporarily to the
upper levels, the 1000 receiving consid-
cradle attention, and producing con-
siderable shipping ore A little work on
the 200-foot level several weeks ago
brought a very satisfactory ore show
ing, from which five car OF ore we're
shipped In two weeks. This ore occurs
in the east or Hungarian vein. which
produced a very liberal tonnage of fine
ore earlier in the history of the mine.
The raise on this new ore looks better
now than at any previous time, and
the management has started drifting
for the same vein on the tunnel level,
reporting every indication promising a
find of merit when the objective point
is gained.

NEW ENGLAND COTTON
MILLS TO CURTAIL OUTPUT.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 19.-The Ark
wright Club, comprising most Of the
cotton mills In New England, at a
meeting yesterday voted for at least a
% per cent. curtailment. Tho vote
says:
Whereas, curtailment OF production
already exists in New England mills to
the extent of from 10 per cent. to rs
per cent. in many cases, and a con-
t~inuation or Increase of such curtail-
ment is advisable and considered to be
inevitable,
Resolved, that members Of the Ark
wright Club present at this meeting
strongly recommend curtailment of
production of at least IS per cent, TO
begin at once and to continue until
market conditions improve, and that a
special committee be appointed to ar
range details of such curtailment."
The Arkwright Club represents n ma
jority of the cotton mills throughout
New England, totaling $1,000, 900
spindles. All except three or four of
the mills in Fall River are in the club,
as well as nearly all the mills in New
Bedford and most of those in Lowell
and Lawrence, Manchester, N. H., and
many mills in Maine and Rhode Island.
It practically represents the entire cot
ton manufacturing indeetry of New
England. In addition TO the cloth
mills, the cotton yarn mills are mem
bAra.

production being 1872, 900, 900 pounds.
This compares with 142, 1871. 900 pounds

IRON AND STEEL TRADE
SHOWS MORE STRENGTH.
Orders Being Placed and Future
Looks Promising.

CLEVELAND. O.. Jan. 19.-The Iron
Trade Review today says:
"Orders for steel products which had
been held up pending definite an
~nouncement regarding the attitude of
the manufacturers concerning prices,
are coming out, n consumers are
specifying against running contracts
for first quarter shipment. AS a result
the iron and steel market shows an
Improvement over a week ago and
the outlook for the future is more
promising.
mo particularly large orders have
been placed and consumers are not
buying very far ahead. but the aggre-
gate tonnage involved In recent book
ings show a moderate increase, ana
many manufacturers believe that
within the next thirty days buyers will
be obliged to figure farther ahead In
order to obtain delivery when the steel
is needed, as a gain in bookings over
shipments Is reported in some lines.
The trade generally expects n gradual
improvement from now n.
THE trade generally does not look
for heavy buying on the part of trans
p%ortation companies until after the
controversy over the proposed advance
in freight rates is adjusted.
Orders have been placed by the
Pennsylvania lines al and west of
Pittsburg for a total of 1880 freight
cars, OF which 800 will be built by the
Cambria Steel Company and 4SO by the
Pressed steel Ear Company. Prices on
all finished lines are firm.
There is more activity in the pig
iron market than for some months. In
addition to scattered sales OF various
grades OF iron, inquiries are coming
from who have accepted
final shipments against contracts pre-
viously placed"

LONG AND SHORT HAUL
ARRANGEMENT UPSET.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 19.-Attorney-
General Galen yesterday rendered an
opinion addressed to the State Boar
Of Railway Commissioners which In
effect upsets the mandates of the Con-
It tuition which prohibit a greater
charge for a short than for a long haul
with respect to both passengers and
freight.
The opinion holds that, while the
prohibition is based on the theory of
mileage basis for rate-makIng, the
courts would not now sustain that
theory, in view of the wldely-different
Conditions existing in different parts
Of the State. such as mountain and
prairie operations. density and scarcity
Of population. bulk OF raffic and
meaee shipments. Until the Supreme
court shall have ruled otherwise, The
opinion stands as the legal i~nterpreta-
ton Of the law. II also holds that tho
prohibition applies to shipments bound
in the same direction.
