Trials Halted by Sudden Illness of
 Assistant Prosecutor.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 22.-The pre- liminary examination of Alderman Louis Brozo. charged with bribery came to a dramatic and unexpected halt late today when Charles T. Will kins, special assistant to Prosecutine Attorney Shepherd, collapsed uncon seious in his chair A physician soon restored consciousness to the stricken lawyer and when he recovered Judge Stein adjourned the hearing until to- morrow afternoon
 One of the first men to rush for medical assistance was Alderman Da- vid Rosenthal, one of the eighteen whose conviction Wilkins has been working for. It was said that over work caused the prosecutor to break down.
 Detective Brennan was on the stand most of the afternoon He testified that on July l2 he offered Brozo S1.- 20O to make speech at a council meeting in favor of closing a street for the benefit of the Wabash rail- road and then voting for such an or dinance
 Brozo, so Brennan testified, agreed to the proposition and called at the detectives offices again on July 23. when the latter claimed he paid the bribe
 Shortly after this Attorney Wilkins collapsed.

CONGRESS HURRIES
 ID END SESSION
FOUR BIG APPROPRIATION BILLS REPORTED BACK FROM CON-
 FERENCE FOR PASSAGE.
House Gets Through With Immense Amount of Business to Clean up .
 the Calendar.

Washington, Aug. 22.A-With celer- fly that hitherto has not marked the session, congress today rushed toward completion four great bills pending in both houses.
 Conferences on the sundry civil, ln- dian, army and postoffice appropria- tion measures reached agreements on those bills today. The legislative, h. dian and civil measures were passed by the senate and the general def ciency bill the last of the big supply measures to be taken up was repors- ed Tn the senate, and the way greased for it's consideration
 The house took no action on appro priation legislation, further than to or der all conference reports printed in the record so that prompt action could be had tomorrow
 Leaders on both sides, however, did not regard these differences tonight as being unreconcilable, and before ad- Joufnment tomorrow, it is believed, the legislative decks will be compara- lively clear.
 A fight developed on the army bill, over the proposed seven years term
 
 measure and the postoffice appropria- ton finally were carried over until tomorrows session.
 Radical changes in the postal ser vice were provided for by the house and senate conferees on the postoffice bill
 The Bourne parcel post system was adopted. including the Oregon sena- tors ideas as to zones, distances and rate. The postmaster general, how eyer was empowered, with the con sent of the interstate commerce com mission, to change the rates, zones and articles admitted to the post at any time. A joint committee of six was authorized to study the working of the systems
 The Sigmens good roads provision was adopted This appropriates $500. 900 for experimental road construc- tion, with a joint committee to study the proposition.
 The senate provision requiring news papers to publish semi-annually a list of stockholders was adopted, and an other provision added to require ev. cry daily newspaper to print a state ment or It's average daily circulation.
 The house eight-hour labor provision was agreed to. together with the clause for the payment for overtime work in cash. The senate amend ment to allow employees to join asso- citations was adopted. The provision authorizing transfer of employees from one service to another was stricken out.
 As agreed to. the bill contains no reference to the blue tag system of transporting second-class mail, except clause prohibiting the extension of the system and another authorizing d joint committee to investigate the subject in conjunction with a study of compensation to railways for carrying the mail.
 A maximum salary of $l, 100 was fix | ed for rural carriers.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

.,ew York, Aug. 22.-The cotton market was less active today and much of dhe trading was supposed to be for the purpose of evening up ac- counts for over the approaching hol- idays and the government report due early next month Fluctuations were irregular with the close steady, mol point higher to 1 point lower.
 4-e market opened steady at an advance of 10 to 15 points in re- sponse to relatively firm Liverpool yables, but almost immediately eased O.. under reports of rains in Texas. rumors that the bigger shorts had pretty well covered and reports of in- creased southern offerings, presuma bly against the coming crop. Prices sold about to 6 points under the closing figures of last night as a re- suit of this pressure, but as soon as additional weather news was received from the southwest indicating that the Texas rains had not reached the drouthy sections of that state, the market became steadier
 Buying by Memphis was one of the features on the advance and was ac- eompanied by rumors that preliminary returns to the National Ginner's As sociation forecasted bullish condi ton rumor These rumors were not confirmed and an advance of6 or points from yesterdays finals brought out increased offerings which seemed to reflect realizing by early buyers or a renewal of local pressure. At any rate. the market eased off to about the closing figures last night and very quiet in the late trading.
 Receipts, l2649 bales. against D. 45l last week and 12.992 last year.
