Government Realizes Strong
er Methods Must be Used
to Cure Conditions.
FIRST HAND FACTS
SECURED RECENTLY
Several Persons Have Returned From
Mexico to washington, Telling of
Indifference of \ exican Government
to American cli ms.

Washington. Ded 20,---The determ-
ination of the ADM tnistration to adopt
sitter policy toward Mexico. which
was advised in an announcement last
night of the purpose to make fresh
representations to that government,
regarding the continuation of the re-
bellion, is directly attributable to the
recent return to Washington OF sew
eral persons thoroughly cognisant of
the alleged evil conditions existing
south of the border. The first was
Henry Lane Wilson. American ambas-
sador to Mexico. who has been in close
touch with everyone of the American
consular officers in the disturbed dis
trlcts, and who is personally aware of
the attitude Of the Mexican govern
ment towards large number of
American claims, presented as a re-
suit of the depredations committed by
the rebels.
Then there have come forward the
three members of the self-constituted
committee of Americans. representing
large plantation and mining interests
i'll northern Mexico. who. from per-
sonal knowledge, We're able to inform
the state department of various prac-
tees employed by the rebel leaders to
extort money from American man
ayers and foremen and of the COM
paritive Indifference of the Mexican
officials to the numerous appeals of
American interests for protection
from the raiders. Lastly there have
come members Of the senate sub-com-
mittee on foreign relations, fresh from
the investigation at first hand of bor-
der conditions from California to
Texas. The combination of all these
representations has made a profound
impression on the administration. 1t
has been concluded that stronpar
representation than has heretofore
been made must be directed to the
Mexican government. if conditions are
to be cured.

Chinese Not Willing to Accept All
Features of Russian Treaty.
Peking. Dec. 2O.-The terms of the
Russo NJ Mongolian treaty Of November
are published here. The Chinese
regard them as far more comprehen-
sive than the Manchurian agreements
which finally led to the Russo-Japan-
ese war.
The features to which the Chinese
particularly object as infringing
China's sovereignty are the right they
give Russia to send consuls and con-
sular guards to all Mongolian ports
and to establish postoffices.
The treaty also accords to Russian
subjects freedom to trade. establish
manufactures. buy land. TO arrange
concessions for mining. fishing and
forestry and for the navigation Of the
yivers flowing into Russian territory.

A big court fight is due the first of
February, when the express compan-
les OF the country will be asked to
adopt the express rates recently fixed
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion-or to be more exact, by Frank
lin K. Lane, one of the commission
ers.
An important principle is involved.
The right of the commission to say
that rate fixed by an express com
pany is either just or unjust is no
longer questioned. But the commits
sion is now undertaking to originate
and prescribe rates-a power which
many believe it does not possess.
The express companies claim if the
order of the commission with respect
to them stands, they will lose $5o.0OO.-
600 d Year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 4.-(Special) Although Liverpool closed barely steady at a concession from the high, 1t was understood that the weaker tone at the close was due to offerings by those identified with the recent de- cline.
 After the close of Liverpool our mar ket hesitated. but gathered strength under the influence of the weekly gov ernment report. It was a nervous mar ket. closing some 2S points higher on January. This sudden advance of nearly GO points since Friday has been due to the reports of deterioration coming from Texas and the Atlantic states, which came as a great surprise to the spinners, and the large spot houses who have been advising them to wait for Q decline to at least 101ac They have waited all over the world for the past month except where some inde- pendent minds have bought a small portion of their requirements.
 Unless the weather conditions in- prove they may be expected to become buyers to secure the profits they now have on the forward sales of their goods. This statement again states our view that the course of prices depends entirely upon the weather
 Liverpool Is due to come about 5h to 6 points higher in the morning.

New York. September 4.-The most note worthy feature of todays dull ana irres ular stock market was the growing ii'i- portance of money as factor. For tiiiie the list gave signs of an indication to shake off the heaviness of the previous day, although opening prices were gen erally lower, but this was followed py buying movement, and short covering which soon established means of point or over in some of the more representa- tive issues.
 In the early afternoon when call loans were quoted at 4 per cent and time rates went higher, the market sagged untii little was left on rise except in certain of the higher priced specialties, not ably the tobaccos, which repeated some of their former spectacular performances.
 The most cheerful note sounded during the day was a statement dealing with the operations of the leading equipment companies, showing steady increase or business. Earnings of these companies for the first half of the current year are we'll ahead of the entire year.
 Private advices from Berlin. where pri- vate discounts were again higher, indi- cate an early advance in the bank rate.

20 ID q POINTS
 ADVANCE IN COTTON
Market Active With Fluc- tuati0ns Irregular-Firm
 Cables

New York, September 1.-The cotton market was very active again today, and while fluctuations showed considerable ir- regularity, the general trend was upward, with the close steady at net advance of from 20 to 27 points.
 The market opened strong at an advance of r to 22 points on a renewal of yes terdays buying movement, which was en- couraged by relatively firm cables and continued dry, warm weather In the south. This advance carried December contracts up to il 45c, or nearly 5 per bale above the low level of last Friday, and the market encountered heavy realizing by recent buyers, while 1t was also report ed that local bears who had taken profits last week were reselling some of their cotton. At any rate the market soon eased off, and during the middle of the morning showed a reaction of some F or 15 points from the best under this pres sure and considerable southern selling seemed to be hedging against prospective crops.
 The detailed weather reports from the eastern belt showed comparatively high temperatures, however, and following the publication of the weekly weather bureau report, which received a bullish interpre- tation also under the ring, the market again firmed up. Buying seemed to be more active and aggressive on this ad- vance than 1t had been at the opening, and December contracts sold up to Il .51c during the middle of the afternoon. with the active months generally showing a net advance of from 27 to B points.
 Realizing caused some irreguarity in the late trading, and the close was or 6 points off from the best Some of the more prominent spot house brokers were sellers on the afternoon advance, and there was an active demand from Wall street

The market had no selling power, although reports from the belt coneerning the movement of the new crop and offerings of spot cotton was bearish. Private ca be adyices from England told of good business among manufacturers of. cotton goods Buying was moderate In volume. but was met by slender offerings With the end of the first half hour of business prices were 15 to IT points higher than yesterdays close.
 Forecasts of fair weather for the en- tire cotton belt held the list steady around the middle of the forenoon. The weekly reports increased the desire to buy. These reports confirmed the claim of the bulls that too dry weather is prevalent in South Carolina Georgia and portions of Southern Alabama as well as in Texas and Oklahoma. At the highest the trad ing months were r points over yester- days final figures. Scalping longs took profits and at noon prices were II to i3 points higher.
 In the afternoon the market was very steady on buying based on the bullisn weekly weather reports. Half an hour before the close the trading months were 2t to 26 points over yesterdays last figures.
