NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE bulls
still hold control OF the cotton con
tract market. BY virtue of fun
short interest. and after the ginners'
port prices advanced rapidly. Many
operators considered the market top
heavy. because short covering as
rule weakens the technical positions.
Todays trading, however. seemed TO
demonstrate that. accumulation WAS
going on In behalf of trade interests.
The tone was good throughout the
session.
This would finally mean a rigid con
tract position in New York. The SELL
ers Of .!iese contracts must look to the
South for help during the cary
months If the new year. and the spot
situation there would seem to forbid
the satisfaction OF these commitments
except at loss.
According TO 1.-The Financial Chron-
icle the worlds Visible supply OF
American cotton approNi'nates 5000
90 bales. This Is the largest volume
on record, rs of this date, and is Ave
hundred thuHSlnd bales greater than
the corresponding period last year.

LORIMER WANTS EXPENSES
Seeks 100000, but Likely to
Get Only $4,000.
From Tho Tribune Bureau !

luton TO the senate probably tomorrow.
asking for an appropriation Of more than
$4,000 to dcfray the costs of the second
inquiry into the Illinois election.
Not the least OF the proposed items con
sidered by tho committee WAS request
from Mr. Lorimer asking for compensa-
ton for the expense he had been put to
in defending his title to his seat. All Of
the members OF the committee insisted
on treating this request "a a secret. but
Il is said the amount asked for Is be-
tween 10000 and $4,000. There is a dis
position on the part OF many Senators 10
allow Mr. LOrimer something to defray
his expenses. but the amount asked for
was regarded az exorbitant II Is not Inn
probable that the committee Will suggest
that he receive 81, 900 or $4,000.
The committee also set about slashing
the bills presented by Its employees. One
of the counsel employed by the committee
ia said TO have presented bin for 5000
1t is probable that this Will be reduced to
one-third Of that amount. The bill OF the
stenographers. who took volumes or tesu-
mony. was also scaled down.
After discussing the more important
items of expense the committee directed
the chairman, Senator Dillingham;, to pre-
pare a detailed account and TO present a
resolution asking for an appropriation to
meet the expenses.

ONE BATTLESH|P SURE
House and Senate Will ComprO-
mise on Single Dreadnought.
FINAL CAUCUS NEXT WEEK
Friends Of Adequate Navy"
Disappointed That Gov. Will
SON Didn't Take Stand.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Aug 7.-Desiring to give
the Insurgent Democrats an opportunity
to cool off," the Democratic leaders or
the House to-day halted the plans TO have
another caucus on battleships on Friday
night. The caucus probably will be held
late next week, and the present inten-
ton of those who are seeking to restore
harmony in the Democratic ranks is 10
defer action until the closing days OF the
session on the naval appropriation bill.
The House Will then offer TO compromse
with the Senate on one battlcship.
Following the breaking Of a quorum ~
the caucus last night and the suppression
Of the call showing the absentees. the
pro-battleships partisans were In an
angry frame Of mind to-day. The origi
nal scheme was to circulate Immediately
a call for a fifth caucus on the disputed
battleships issue, but late this afternoon
Speaker Champ Clark and Representative
Underwood, the majority leaders, took
hand and decided that the caucus should
be delayed a few days. In the mean time
Clark and Underwood will use concilis
tory methods to curb the insurgent ten
who are demanding that the mo battle
ships mandate OF former caucuses shall
be rescinded. and that all members shall
be permitted to vote as they please or

Representative Sulzer, who has been
leading the fight against the enemies
or the navy, said tonight that a tenta-
tive agreement had been reached IN
hold still another caucus some day next
week. In the meantime, Mr.. Clark and
Mr.. Underwood will talk "one battleship."
and will endeavor to whip into line those
Democrats who are standing out for two
ships.
The Senate is reported ready to com
promise on one new Dreadnought, in view
OF the determined hostility Of the House
to the customary annual authorization.
The failure of Governor Wilson, the
Democratic nominee, 10 take bold stand
speech OF acceptance caused disappoint-
ment among some House Democrats to
day. The adequate navy" contingent
strongly hoped that Governor Wilson
would throw himself into the breach ana
suggest that the House reverse itself on
the battleship issue.
On the whole. Democrats are sppre-
hensive that the party split on the naval
programme may have bad effect politi-
cally. and this partially accounts for the
manner in which Speaker Clark and Nj.
Underwood instigated a quiet campaign
to-day 10 bring about a compromise be
tween the warning House Democrats.

Loses Control OF the Bus.

In some manner the chauffeur Of the
bus lost control Of his machine. The
big car lurched violently one or twice,
threatening TO topple over. and then
headed for the sidewalk. With speed
unslacked IL bumped over the low side
walk Curbing, rolled across the sid
walk and crashed into the fvc-foot
iron railing surrounding tho areaway
about the Astor house.
This arcaway Is about ton feet I'm
depth and nine In width. The force Of
the impact was so great that the heavy
iron uprights were wrenched from their
granite bases and the whole mass sent
hurtling to tho bottom Of the arcaway.
Even the solid granite foundation
stones I which the railing was .nbed-
ded were lifted from their bed and sent
crashing 10 the stone tagging below.
Eight persons were sitting on top o.
the bus. All were thrown violently
forward, and only the railing about the
top prevented them from being pitched
into the areaway. As it was, they were
ell more or less painfully bruised and
cut.
For a few moments following the crash
the air was filled with the cries of
women on the bus, those inside try
ing to scramble out and those on the
roof attempting to lower themselves
over the left hand side. When they
saw the perilous position OF the bus.
which appeared as though Il would
topple into the areaway at any mo-
ment, they became terrified.
The noise Of the collision was heard
for a distance Of five blocks. A hun
dred persons gathered in three min
utes. Patroman Saylor, of the East
9th street station, was standing at
10Th street and Fifth avenue when he
heard the crash. He ran down and
arrived just at the moment when Miss
Katherine Force appeared on the
steps Of the house. He climbed up
the side OF the truck and assisted the
passengers TO the street, while Miss
Force directed the Astor servants to
prepare for the reception Of the in
jured.
