Houston Market Review.

Houston, Texas, June 1S-Ex-
cepting accidents in the shape Of boil
weevil, sharpshooters, all destruc-
tive kinds of insects and storm dam
age. the Texas cotton crop this year
will outstrip similar records in this
state.
Later reports to the Houston
Chamber Of Commerce from every
section in the state bear out the
previous figures issued that the crop
in Texas this year is increased about
s per cent owe that Of last year.
The same reports show the crop late,
owing to the unreasonable weather,
but in every ease the plant is
healthy and the stands reported per-
feet.
From now on until the first bale
slides over the plate in Houston the
market interest will center on cot
ton. The attention Of nearly every
Texas planter is centered on this
staple and it is reported that in
three different sections in South
Texas particular patches of cotton
are being groomed for the first bale.
The first bale this year will be
marketed late. No records Will even
be threatened. Last year the
worlds record was broken by the
arrival on June 9 Of the first bale
from San Benito. The most opti-
mistic figuring at the Houston cot
ton exchange can not bring the first
bale in before June 20, and it may
be a few days later than that. Re-
ports to the Chamber Of Commerce
are TO the effect that San Benito will
not produce a bale before June %,
so it is anticipated that the first
bale will come from Mission or Mer-
cedes.
The past week in the cotton mar
ket was bullish. The weather of the
week played a comparatively small
part in the trading. 1t vas called
more favorable than otherwise and
even the bulls did not attempt TO
sway sentiment by putting forth
any strong claims of crop damage.
The western belt could have used
more rain and the eastern belt could
have got along with less. but ne see
ton sem complaints that were at all
serious. Private wires attributed
the advance TO heavy coverings and
a. good trade demand in the absence
of important selling.

COMMERCE COURT UP TO TAFT
It's Doom is Sealed Unless President
VetOes the Bill.

Washington, d. c., June 1S-All
now required to abolish the com
merce court is the signature Of Pres
ident Taft to the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill
for the running expenses of the gov
eminent. The senate has sustained
the provision a~bolishing the court,
inserted by the house. Unless Presi-
dent Taft vetoes the appropriation
bill, which it is thought he will, the
commerce court viii be wiped out
of existence. The five judges who
make up the commerce court were
appointed by President Taft two
years ago. They were made circuit
court judges for life. The provision
passed by the house, which abolishes
the court, proposes that no more
United States circuit court judges
shall be appointed until the num-
Der is reduced from "a to 20, the
number in existence before the crea-
ton Of the commerce court.
This action, following the decision
of the United States supreme court
last week, almost certainly marks
the end Of the commerce court,
whose decisions in nearly every in
stance favored the railroads. The
supreme court last week reversed
the commerce court and upheld the
interstate commerce commission in
an important case. The supreme
court decided that the commerce
court did not have the power it had
taken and, in the opinion delivered
by Chief Justice White, he said the
construction which the commerce
court had placed upon its jurisdic-
ton would wipe out the great object
sought to be accomplished by the in
terstate commerce laws, and would
result in great disorder and con-
fusion.
1t has been a notorious fact ever
since the court was ap-
pointed that there was practically
no chance for a shipper to get any
redress from that body. There has
been more or less hard feeling be-
tween the commerce court and the
interstate commerce commission and
members Of the commission are well
pleased with the supreme court de-
%cision. They say that the commerce
court will not now be able to turn
the commission into a mere statisti-
cal bureau for the cases upon which
the commerce court could pass. In
many instances. shippers have been
granted fair treatment by the COM
merce commission only to have that
action nullitied by a decision Of the
commerce court.

The announcement that DIR. Sun
Vat Sen has been unanimously elect
ed president of the new Chinese re-
public may be somewhat misleading
to some readers. He has neither been
elected by a plebiscite of the Chinese
nation, nor by a national assembly,
nor yet by the votes of the joint con-
ference of government supporters and
revolutionists at Shanghai. BE has
merely been chosen by the military
leaders of the revolutionists, His
election means not that be is the
choice Of the Chinese people, but that
the leaders of the revolution have put
kim forward as their candidate for
the head of the state. DIR. Sun is
well known in this country and is
highly esteemed. and would probably
mare a good president, if it were

THE UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA


When the normal humanity o.
American citizens protests against
the darker side of Russian terrorism,
it is customary for Russian diplomats
to tell US that we are under obliga.
tion to Russia for her traditional
friendship
Meanwhile, Russia's 500 or more
spies in this country seem to think
we will bear watching. It is related
that one night in 1907. Rev. DR..
Lyman Abbott delivered an address
in New York denoucing Russian
tyranny.
At 10 p. m the same evening per-
sons who made call at Washington
on Baron RosLn. Russian Ambassador,
found that he already had full re-
port of the doings of that meeting.
The Slav, logged and daring by
nature adds to these gifts a master
ship at diplomacy. He uses the
ceremonial language of courts with
convincing tnesse. But one should
not lay too great stress on the slippery
adiectives Of the great international
game.
The appeal has always been made
to northern statesmen that Russia
befriended the federal government dur
ing the civil war. The unsnimous
vote oe 4bo vor%ho~0 oorcroaOxnor Eor
abrogation of the violated treaty
suggests that this is regarded as
ancient history, also that the north
has never regarded this alleged rela-
tion as based on fympathy with the
northern attitude to ward slavery and
the questi NJ growing out of that
institution. Russia at that time
had revolution in Poland and she
probably sympathized with any nation
having family difficulties on hand
without much analysis of the nature
of those difficulties.
Russia did try to bring about
mediation in the war of 1912. which
was to her credit, though perhaps 8
desire to get England clear for the
fight against Napoleon was an in
fuential motive there.
Russia's remoteness and the fac
that she never had colonies over this
way to lead to irritations, has n,
doubt led to certsin negative
friendship for US.
But real international Friendship
is based ON likeness of ideals ant
temperament. The Russian may
wear very correct clothes and show
very good table manners when Uncle
Sam invites him out to diRner. But
to win our real love he must stoT
