He shook his head. The horizon line
was clear-there was no hint of smoke.
He turned to the first mate OF the
wrecked fruit steamer that lay stranded
on the reefs.
This must be Lost Isle" he said.
The mate shook his head. I'm pos

How do you known" queried Neal,

The mate nodded. "Glad we're alone :

What do you make of that?' he quer-

head.
"A piece of STEEL" he answered.
"Ah," Aaid the mate, there's some
one among the crew that's played US

struck, it leaped into my mind that, by

MARK I IS STEADY
 WITH PRICES HIGHER
Firm Tone Develops, and Close
 Shows S-11 Point Advance Held in Check by Heavy Liv-
 erpOOl Selling of Late Months.

New York, March 16.-The cotton market was quiet today and prices showed a generally steady tone, with July contracts selling up to 12.24c, or .15 points above last nights final fig ures and closing at 12.18c. The gen eral list closed steady at net gain of 8 to II points for the day.
 There was some irregularity during the first hour. Liverpool cables were relatively steady and the market here opened 1 to points higher. The market steadied on trade buying of the old crop, combined with covering by some of yesterdays local sellers. The advance was held in check by rather heavy Liverpool scaling of late months, presumably on fresh straddle account, but the buying in the English market against these sales was re- flected in steady cables and after the close abroad shut out arbitrage busi- hess, prices were proved more sensi- tive to support
 The demand for May and July from spot houses continued and there was also considerable covering. Demand tapered off somewhat when the mar ket reached 12.0lc for May, 12.24c for July and 12.35c for October, or about II to 15 points net higher. No ma terial pressure developed, however, and the close was within 5 or 6 points of the best.
 Comparatively little news was re ceived with reference to the South spot situation and there was no Southern selling here of consequence during the day. It was reported that ocean freight room for 30,OOO bales had been booked at Galveston for Liver pool at $2.5O.
 Cotton closed steady.

THE MISSOURI RIVER.

The Missouri is one of the great drainage channels of the United States, measuring in total length about 2,400 miles. It drains 527,155 square miles, a territory as great as that embraced in the States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
 Although Missouri River may never again be utilized as a means of com munlcation and transportation it is destined to play large part in the better development of it's drainage basin by furnishing water for irriga- ton and for generating power.

CONGRESS ACT
 UPON DEFENSE
All Other Issues Will Be Swept Aside Following Request of President for Haste and Mill tary-Navy Bills Considered.

Washington, March 16.-Sweeping aside intervening issues congress set the stage for prompt action on na- toral defense measures. The house voted unanimously for a sperial rule under which the army increoe bin will be taken TIP at II o'cloe tnor- row morning with passage by Satdr- day night in prospect. A ten laur limit for general debate was fixed in spite of the fact that the measure is the most far reaching ever presented to the national body.
 In the senate Senator Chamberlain will insist the senate measure be talk en up promptly, displacmg the water power bill, unless the latter reaches a vote in a few days. The senate measure proposes an even more dras- tic change in military policy than pro- vided for in the house bill. Indica- tions are the joint conference com mittoe will be at work within three weeks.
 The legislative frame work Of the army increase project may be an ac- complished fact within another month. While the naval program has ap- peared to progress more slowly, pos sibly it will be completed sooner than the army projects.
 The navy bill, under hearing for months, is composite, incluring the appropriations as well as the pro- gram. Hearings will end about April 1, and the completion of the measure is expected to take but a short time by the committee.
 The house acted today after Presi- dent Wilson had summoned leaders and urged haste with the defense pro- gram as a duty to the nation The senate committee made several chang es in it's bill on final review. As re- ported tomorrow it will designate postmasters all over the country as recruiting officers.

HOUSE HAS PASSED
 DUTY FOR SUGAR
Floor Leader Accuses Cannon of Repudiating Repub- lican Platform of 1912, in Sup porting Payne -AIdrich Law.

Washington, March 16.-The house late today passed the administration bill to retain the present tariff of one cent on sugar Under the sugar clause of the Underwood tariff act sugar would go on the free list after May 1 next. The vote was 346 to II. Without objection the house later voted to begin consideration of the Hay bill tomrrow, and confne the general debate to ten hours.
 Night sessions are to be held and the bill may be disposed of by Satur- day night.
 The measure now goes to the sen ate. The debate reused little enthus- iasm until Majority Leader Kitchin took the floor to close the argument. A rapid exchange resolved itself into a general assault upon the defense of the entire Underwood Simmons tariff act
 The sole cause for the proposed re- peal of the free sugar clause, Mr. Kitchin said, was that imports had fallen off, due to the European war making the sugar tax necessary to meet the expense of the government Incidentally he declared the demo- cratic party never had committed it. self to free sugar for all time.
 'l have heard great many peo- pie denounce the Underwood act, but have not heard solitary single re- publican defend the Payne Aldrich law" he added. You repudiated the very act you passed in the first con gress following it's first enactment President Taft, at the first opportun. ity, promised the people to revise it.
 "The Payne-Aldrich ax, approved of then" interrupted Mir. Cannon "and l have never apologized for il since, and l wish to God it were or the statute books now"
 Then you are repudiating the plat form of the republican party in 1912 Mir. Kitchin replied, "as you promised to revise the tariff after commission had acted, and specifically declared the Payne tariff act was too high anC ought to be cut donw."
