COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. February 5.-After
opening steady at an advance of l
point to decline Of 1 point on the
cables. the cotton market today broke
sharply under more or less general
selling which seemed to be inspired by
apprehensions as to the effect on ex-
port business of the German declara-
tion that certain waters around the
British Isles will be regarded as a war
zone after February Is. Active months
sold 10 to. II points net lower during
the first few minutes. Trade buying
checked the decline at this level. and
caused rallies Of or 3 points from the
lowest.
Futures opened steady; March, s.73:
April. $50; May, s;s5; June. sos; July.
9.15; August, 9.22; September, 9.31 ;
October. 9.3s; November. 9.42; Decem-
ber. s.52; January. 9.5s.
Trading became less active later in
the morning, and the demand from
trade interests held prices fairly steady.
but slight rallies were barely main
tained. and the tone was more or less
unsettled pending better information
as to the effect OF recent naval develop
ments on the export situation.
Prices were about 10 to IL points net
lower shortly after midday.

NEXT HORN MOVE
IS UP TO CANADA
Dominion Expected to Start
Proceedings Before U. S.
Commissioner in Maine.

The next step in the case of Werner
Horn. who attempted to destroy a rail-
road bridge between Vanceboro. Ne,
and Canadian territory. by dynamite.
will have to be taken by Canadian au-
thorities before a United States COM
missioner in Maine, according to State
department officials.
Until the hearing is completed and
all the evidence gathered there no ac-
tion will be taken on the formal ap-
plication for extradition made by Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice. the British ambas-
sador, on behalf of the Canadian gov
ernment.
The points raised by Horn that he was
not on Canadian soil and that his was an
act Of war are expected to be fully de-
veloped at the hearing before the COM
missioner. Officials here do not think the
course of the proceedings will bring the
case to them for at least a month.
Officials said the offense of destroy
! ing railroad bridges was one of those
extraditable under treaties between
the United States and Canada so IL the
attempted to destroy the bridge while
ON Canadian soil the recommendation
Tor eStradition probably will be made
by the United States commissioner

state Department, where the case will
i1naliy be decided, as the connection of

here.

VANCEBoRO, Me, February g.
Werner Horn, who says he is Ger
man officer, and in that capacity tried

o'clock this morning.
At Bangor, after a wait of two hours
the trip will be continued on another
line east to Machias, where the party

departure of Horn, who has gained
| notoriety by what he calls his act of
war against Great Britain, attracted
little attention. A small crowd gath
cred at the sta ton. The prisoner, who
was not shackled, smiled and waved
| a goodbye as the train drew out.
| The case is now ended so far as the

the application for the extradition OF

Save 100000.

Two shots aimed at the new battle
ships carried in the naval appropr;a-
tion bill may succeed in knocking one
Of them out of the bill. and II may

The big surprise in the naval debate

cutting out at least one battleship from
the bin. five submarines and other
naval material, so as to save nearly
s9,o00,o00. Representative Wither-
spoon of Mississippi offered TO amend
the bill SO as to carry no new battle
ships.
Representative Underwood declare
that the country Is facing an $So, 100000
! deficit next year. all things included
He said that the expenditures for next
year already planned for would exceed
1.-THE receipts OF the nation by 100000
600. and that there would be a post
that the naval bill is now $S.00o.000
greater than year ago.
Mr.. Underwood said that Congress

the House today by Representative
Hobson of Alabama in the opening OF
the long expected fight to increase the
| battleship building program in the
naval appropriation bill from two to

| The Alabama man told the House
that the War College studies of the At

attack on that side of the nation leads
military men to assume that no direct
attack on Manhattan would be made
but that raids would be conducted 81
multaneously at points on the New
Jersey and Long Island shores. and
that New York would be taken by a
land force from the rear.
Four Battleship Amendment Lost.
| The four battleship amendment was
lost, as was expected, also the small
navy amendment to knock out all bat

Hobson had painted a word picture OF

FOR ASTREET CAR line
IN EAST POTOMAC PARK
Chief of Engineers to Recommend
to Congress Legislation
for Project.

recommendation to Congress for
legislation that will permit the extern
sion OF street car lines to East Potomac
! Park will be made in the next annual
report of the chief of engineers.
Col. Harts. in charge Of public build
ings and grounds. has made a report
to the War Department favoring a linn
ited extension of street railroad lines
into Potomac Park. He says the ex-
listing driveways in the park. including
the one along the river front. are on
made ground and are not capable of
bearing the weight Of street car travel
or any vehicle weighing. when occu-
pied. more than G.oo0 pounds. He says
there are strong esthetlc reasons
against the opening of any new cross
lines at 18th street or elsewhere. The
existing cross line at 14th street. used
by the Washington-V Virginia railroad
line. might be utilized, however. he
says, for the extension of the service
on the Washington Railway and Elec-
tr1c Company for the benefit Of people
desiring to visit Potomac Park.
The plans of the latter company in
building its extensions on 14th street
from F street to the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing and to Water street
might be slightly modified, e thought,
! so as to have the cars continue on the
tracks of the WashingtonV Virginia line
vania railroad embankment to the Nir
gtnia channel. there making a loop into
East Potomac Park and return by way
OF the east side of the embankment to
the main line near the outlet gate of
| the tidal basin.
Recreation Park Planned.
East Potomac Park is to be developed
into recreation park. with provision
for all kinds of open air games and
pastimes, and the proposed railway ex-
tension. Col. Harts says, would be OF
great convenience to the participants
ana spectators. The railway company
has indicated it's Willingness to oper-
ate such line, when the park i'm
provements are completed, if given the
necessary permission.
Lieut.. Col. H. Taylor, acting chief OF
engineers, has notified the president OF
the West End Citizens Association
OF the governments plan in a letter
| replying to resolution recently
adopted by that association urging
street car extensions in the park. He
includes in his letter copy Of the re-
port of Col. Harts, which said:
THE subject Of an electric car line
through Potomac Park has been care
fully studied by the commission OF
fine arts and by this Office. The needs
| OF the public for better access to this
park are fully recognized. The loca-
| tion of any car line involving tracks
must be such as to assist and not te
| velopment of this unusual park
