Vienna, March 31.--The crisis in the Hungarian cabinet which was ended yes- terday by the Emperor. Francis Joseph, expressing confidence in the ministry under the premiership of Count Kuehn von Redervary, had a sensational develop ment in a threat of the Emperor to abdi- cate It is said that during recent audi ence with the premier the Emperor open ly threatened to abdcate unless certain proposals in connection with the con- troversy over the army were immediately abandoned.
 In substance the Emperor Is reported as saying to the premier:
 ''As Crowned King of Hungary for 45 years, I have always respected the inter- nal constitutional rights of the nation. Hungary never had better friend than I; yet my sovereign rights are now sud- denly contested, and l am met with dis trust"

THE WEATHERM MAY INFLUENCE COTTON

New Orleans March 31.-Bullish en- deavor and the weather will probably be the main influences in the cotton market this week. Trading will hardly be up to the average in volume because this will
 be a holiday week. On this side of the
 water the market will close Thursday
 night for the Easter holidays and reopen
 Monday morning in Liverpool the fol-
 lowing Tuesday morning. Because of
 these triple and quadruple holidays the
 disposition will be to lessen commitments after Tuesday night.
 The prospects are that weather reports
 not be good because of the storm thas
 started to enter the belt at the end of last week. If the weather continues unset tied the bears will hardly have a chance to move the market their way, even if the realizing of profits by the bulls rec ches large proportions. Even without unravorable weather to help them, the bulls will very likely be able to manipu- late the market to suit them by calling attention to the prospects of floods In the Mississippi valley. Water in many rivers | is at an unusually high stage and con siderable damage fin the cotton belt will undoubtedly result from 1t.
 | English labor news will be eagerly watched for the resumption of business along normal lines in that country will n can consumption of cotton on a record l breaking scale again. To some extent, l any favorable news from this direction will he balanced by the unfavorable la
 bor situation on this side of the water. The cotton trade, however, has not been
 disposed to give labor troubles in this
 country as much attention as it has given | those abroad.
 l It will be a short week and mainly a l weather market.

COTTON GOODS WERE ACTIVE IN MARCH

New York. March 31.-The month of March was the best period in cotton goods trading in three or four years. The de- mand for merchandise came forward in a healthy way for dealers and users of goods who required additional supplies and have regained much of their confidence in the steady distribution of goods to con- sumers. Wage advances and the increased costs of production in other directions tended to force prices upward and this trend was enhanced by the requirements of retailers and jobbers for more goods than could be had from the limited sup plies of mills. Some of the leading corporations are sold ahead for three months, while the demand for quick ship ments of staple lines is broad and steady.
 Regular print cloths are nov on a basis of S7sc, the highest in nearly two years. Staple prints are at 5Ac and are tightly sold for some time. Stapse ginghams, brown sheetings and other staples are scarce for quick delivery. Labor troubles in Lowell and Clinton, Mass. continue but mills elsewhere are gradually ad- iusting wages upward; production In all sections is still restricted by the difficulty of securing operatives.
 The large export markets are quiet, hav- ing supplied their wants for the next two or three months. Miscellaneous markets are still buying and weekly shipments are running ahead of year ago. Prices range about as follows: Print cloths, 2S inch, 64x64s, 37sc; 64x6Os, SAC: 3S1s inch, 64x6is, Sc: brown sheetings, southern standard, 71ac to TAG; denims, 9 ounce, l3c; tick ings, ounce, 13c; standard prints, 5Lc: standard staple ginghams, 6l4c; dress ginghams, 6Ac.

MOBILE BOY KILLED
 BY STREET CAR Son of Deputy County Tax Collector Crow Is Run
 Over By Trailer

Crow, was hurled to his death beneath the wheels of a Will kinson street car late this afternoon on Wilkinson street. near Texas. when the car with trailer attached ran off the track. The boy was thrown from the rear of the first car to the track and one wheel of the trailer passed directly over his body just above the waist. The lit- tie fellow lived but 10 minutes.
 Scores of people, returning from the ball game on the two cars, heard the boys agonized screams and watched help lessly until he breathed his last. Sew eral of the passengers state that young Crow, who was occupying the last seat in the first car, was thrown directly from his seat to the rails when the shook, caused by the derailment, came.
 The cause of the deraiment is mys- tery as the track at the point where the accident occurred is perfectly straight

WORKING FORCE
 WANT MORE PAY

New York, March H.-Organizations of carmen, telegraph operators. dispatchers, signal men, track men. clerks and agents employed by many eastern railroads met here today and issued a statemen. de- claring that their claims for better pay should be considered before the railroads grant further increases to higher salaried employees.
 Earl Fl. Morton of Boston, president of the Order of Railroad Station Agents. who gave out the statement, said that 1t referred particularly to the situation caused by the recent demand of the engi- neers for higher wages. He and his as- scciates, he said, had addressed no com munication directly to the railroad com panies, but probably would apply within two weeks for a general advance.

BUILD GOVERNMENT RAILROAD IN ALASKA To Extend From Tidewater
 to Yukon Valley FISHER DETERMINED Resurrection Bay Selected as Coaling Station Site By Navy Department.
 Flood Prepares Bill Pro-
 viding for Report
FISHER DETERMINED

Washington, March 31.--Secretary Fisher is urging the House to clothe the federal government with immediate au- thority to use the construction equip nent and supplies on the Panama canal as they are released thereAby completion of the canal for building government railroad in Alaska from Tidewater at Resurrection Bay to the Yukon Valley.
 Flood Prepares Bill Chairman Flood of the House territories committee has prepared a bill to provide for report upon such project to some future session of Congress. Secretary Fisher In a. letter to Representative Boohrx. of Missouri, makes some sugges- tions for changes in the Flood bill. and also outlines a substitution measure to provide for immediate action. The secre- tary presses the point that if legislation be delayed utilization of the Panama ca- nal construction equipment will not be practicable. He calls attention to the governments engineering feat at Panama under very simple act of Congress and wishes to apply the same measure 10 the railroad in Alaska.
 Resurrection Bay has already been se- lected as coaling station site by the navy department
 Agricultural Possibilities
 "Your committee wrote Secretary Fisher, ''should consider whether the de- velopment of this harbor and the con struction of the railroad from 1t to the interior would not be justified upon mili- tary and naval as well as upon commer- cial considerations. During five months of the year water transportation for coal may be made available on Cook Inlet or Enik Arm, within short distance from the line between Enik Arm and Seward and would remove the necessity for some heavy construction which would be re- duired if the entire traffic Is to pass over that line. I have pointed out to the President the agricultural possibilities which would be opened up by the pro posed railroad.
 '.The commission should have authority to lease or make operating agreements with the existing railroads if it prefers to do this rather than to construct an entirely independent railroad or to ac- auire any of the existing roads for this purpose.
 Ut will be better for the government to own in its entirety an independent trunk line from Tidewater to the Yukon, one of it's navigable tributaries, rather than lease or contract for operating rights over part of such line.'

Hungarians to increase their parliament tary control of the national army. The direct issue. concerned the King right to mobilize the reserves which Hungarian politicians contend he can only do when parliament has. granted the recruiting contingent for the current year. This matter Is one of the highest importance to the whole empire as, in event of par- liamentary obstruction preventing the passage of the recruiting levy the King would be unable to call out the reserves as substitute for the recruits if the Hungarians intention were admitted
 The King has always been conciliatory and anxious to avoid unnecessary trouble, but upon everything connected with his army he takes a determined stand In the present instance his majesty's atti- tude has had an immediate influence on the Redervary cabinet which yielded the point at issue, but it is less likely to affect political leaders like Count Ap- ponyi and Francis Kossuth, who are the real heads of the movement to make the army more subservieht to parliamentary control

it Resolved,
THAT We hereby pledge ourselves to
support Elk President Roosevelt in his
heroic and courage fight
for the people against the office
holders who, b ked by NAL
efactors of great wealth, and aided
by the profession politicians are attem-
pting by force, fraud and corruption to
force upon the people the denomination
of President Taft.
"We deplore the hard times and bust
ness depression through which the
country has gone during the present ad-
ministration and especially do we de
plore the hard lot that has fallen to the
working man and those depending upon
him.
1--WE condemn as a fraud and farce
the so called New York Primary, where
only one of every twenty Republicans
had the privilege of voting. The result
of it is not the will of the people.
"We condemn the present admins

use of Federal Patronage for political
purposes, and condemn the office hold

Taft over the wishes of the people.

full and prosperous administration of
Theodore Roosevelt from 1901 to 1908,
and long for that great friend of the
people to return to power. The people

AID AStra EntertainS.

The members of the AID Astra society
of Lindsey Wilson entertained the
members of the Philomothies society
on Friday evening March %. 1t was a
very formal affair and very beautifully
carried out. The guests were met at
the door by little maid, Miss Mary
Fleming Nelson, who received their
cards. They were then conducted to
the receiving line, at the head of which
stood Miss Ollie Crockett, president of
the society, who in her turn presented
them to the guest of honor, Miss Alice
Walker, and so on to all who stood in
the line. After every old acquaintance
had met every other old acquaintance,
the guests scattered out over the room
to engage in book contest, which con-
sisted in guessing the names of books
from certain pictures. The contest
resulted in tie between Miss Regina
Russell and Miss Milliken, but Miss
Russell got the shortest straw and was
awarded the prize. Miss Walker was
then presented with guest prize,
which consisted of little rabbit and
nest of little Easter eggs. This was
followed by the refreshments, which it
is unnecessary to say were highly enjoy
ed by all. After this, was a mus C
contest in which the contestants were
to guess the names of several pieces of
music, by hearing small part played.
A number tied in this contest. but Miss
Elsie Coy was the lucky one in the cast
ing of lots, and received the prize.
The sitting room was beautifully
decorated in purple and green, the old
Astra colors, and the room for refresh,
ments was decorated in yellow and
white, the colors of the Philomothies
society In the center of the sitting
room was placed booth prettily arrang.
ed, for the serving of frappe. The
guests were given violets and daffodils
for souvenirs. Every body spent a
very enjoyable evening, and another
landmark of the happiness of ones
school days was left in the minds of all.
