 Members of the bureau of elder statesmen are to enjoy favorable treat- ment.

It will also be their privilege to sit while in audience with the Emperor They will be given pre- cious presents on the occasion of any congratulatory celebrations of the ma

Lighting a Railroad Train

F 1OAll ElCCtI4N 4NcWS 66INlCc.
 It is always source of wonder where the passenger train, speeding over the rails at 30 miles an hour, se- cures the electricity for its lighting plant And. if you explain that the train makes it's own current as it runs along. it is equally mystifying where 1t gets its supply when the train is standing still, with the engine cut off.
 An electric lighting plant for mod ern passenger train consists of small Curtis turbine generator, driven by steam direct from tile locomotive boil CT, or geared to a truck axle of one of the coaches. Of course, small stor- age battery is necessary in either case. as the train would be in darkness when not running or when the engine was switching. This storage battery is To- cated in the baggage car. and takes up very little room. The coaches are wired just the same as a house.
 Electricity is used for driving fans, as we'll as for lighting. and on some of the finest trains electric cooking ranges are installed in the dining cars.

BREAK ON
 THE LATE TRADING.
Cotton Market Declines With General List
 Steady

New York, February 19.-Reports that the south was selling hedges both here end in New Orleans checked an early rally in the cotton market, and prices broke sharply in the late trading, with July contracts selling off Co 11sOc or even with the low point of last Thursday. and about r points under last nights closing figures. That delivery closed at 11.S1c. with the general list closing steady at a net decline of Is to r points. Reports from Washington that alleged bearing activities on the New York exchange were to be investigated by the department of justice may possibly have contributed to the nervousness of the market late in the morning, but local traders considered the decline chiefly due to apprehension of increased spot offerings.
 The market showed a pretty steady tone during the early trading and there appeared to be uite a reactionary feel ing around the ring. Liverpool was lower than due, but this was attributed to hedging of cotton bought by the con- tinent in the southwest yesterday, and after opening to 2 points lower. the market here steadies on covering and scattered buying for q rally.
 As soon as offerings came on the mar ket there was renewal of local liquida- tion which included some reselling by early buyers. March sold off to 11.34c, or within points of Thursdays low level, while May broke to 1.G0c and October to 12.00c.
 Last prices were at practically the lowest.
 Washington advices reporting that the House committee on agriculture had ap- proved the bill re-enacting the cotton fu- lures law with amendments to section H. which might he acted upon by the House in the near future, attracted considerable attention, but were considered hardly a factor in the immediate market.

LOW LEVEL REACHED
 ON COTTON MARKET
Market Weakened Under Flood of Offerings and
 Broke $1 a Bale

New Orleans, February 19.-Heavy sell ing based on unfavorabIe comment re- garding international politics, depresse1 cotton to new low levels for the present downward movement in the trading C; the markets short session here today. After period of comparative steadiness In the early trading the market suddenly weakened under flood of offerings and broke dollar bale on the old crop months. The new crops were somewhat steadier.
 Around the opening prices were to points off, in response to lower cables than due, but this loss was soon recov- cred and the most active months were sent to 10 points over yesterdays last quotations on realizing by shorts. With hardly any warning the ring was filled with selling orders and in few minutes time the old crops were 20 to 21 points down from yesterdays close, while the new crops were IS down. No further dis position to react from the decline was shown, although shorts took profits freely in the last few minutes of trading. The close was at a net loss for the ses- sion of 14 to 20 points. The market off, cially was easy on the close.

EUROPEAN BUYING
 SENDS PRICES DOWN
Wheat Market Closed Heavy From Lack of Aggres-
 sive Support

Chicago, February 19.-Bears had the advantage on the wheat market today, chiefly owing to apparent absence of any important European buying and as re- suit of liberal receipts northwest. The close was heavy. 1Ac to 2Aa3sc net lower, with May at s1.271k91. .275s and July al s1. .229sQd .22a. Corn lost 1A@1Ac to 11kc Oats Mc to 11sc, and provisions 21s@5a71kc.
 Although at the outset wheat showed little firmness. in sympathy with higher quotations at Liverpool the tendency aft erward was almost uniformly down grade. It was soon discovered that the market here had no aggressive support It was said country dealers in the northwestern states were selling more freely today than has been the case of late.
 Evidence of liquidation by seaboard holders of wheat developed in the last part of the session. The only export busi- ness noted was 25O,0OO bushels disposed of at Baltimore, despite the acknowledged smallness of European reserves. Domes- tic crop reports were less bulIish than heretofore, and particularly so as to Kan sas. Corn suffered in value, owing to the weakness of wheat and as a result of large arrivals Big reductions in the estimate of Argentina exportable sur plus failed to check the decline That the depression In oats came about be- cause of the heaviness of prices on other cereals. Besides, export sales here were only 15,000 bushels.
 Provisions made temporary gains, in- fiuenced by speculative buying of lard. In the end, however. the advance was more than offset, mainly through the bearish sentiment prevailing as to grain and hogs.

 Some of the early gains underwent sub: stantia. reductions in the late dealings, when active selling of Coppers and Cruel ble Steel caused recessions elsewhere.
 Sudden strength of sterling exchange was attributed to the recent purchase of 25,V0O,00O Of United States Steel bonds, which probably call for the purchase of bills on London to that amount France also hardened but Italian exchange weakened.

Ayery's Letter

There was no news to account for the further decline of about dollar bale in the cotton market today except selling hy Hubbard said to be hedging for a big Oklahoma spot firm and speculative short selling by Renskorf brokers. This latter was probably from the Scales crowd, who have been conspicuous on the bear side for sometime.
 The usual mess of stuff was sent out from New York on increased acreage in the eastern belt, one item saving Georgia would increase IS per cent. This Is utterly ridiculous. This same author ity also advised safes of October cotton as a panacea for the farmer. This sort of stuff is palpable effort to stampede holders of spot cotton into selling.
 There seems to be no one that has the nerve to take hold of the bull side of the market and as long as this condition exists. bears will push their advantage to the limit.
 There is but one thing that will call a halt on their operations and that is the refusal of holders to sell cotton at the decline. The refusal of holders to sell caused a right about face in opinions around the holidays, and the same action now will do it again. Futures are be- low spots. and if spots don't break fu- lures will go back.
 There is tremendous speculative short interest in the market. 1t is certain. after decline since January 24 of S4.5O per bale.
 However, the future is problematical unless some buying power comes into the market. Spot holders by refusing to sell can stay the decline and may create buying power by making the shorts cover. and an advance so created will attract outside buying
 My best judment is to say: stand pat, and play little poker with the bears, you hold all the cards, in the actual cot ton, which they all have to have eventu- ally if not now. c. F. AVERY.

Made a Good Guess

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
 The conversation in the lobby of a hoe tel the other night turned to the ques- tion of bad guesses, when this story was told by Congressman Michael Liebel Of Erie:
 Smith was rambling about the waiting room of big railroad terminal one afternoon when he saw a woman walk over to a lonely looking man and aslz him to hold her baby while she went to a. store on the street level.
 That trick is an old one" said ths wise Smith, going over to the lonely looking man. You will never see mother dear any more.
 ou have made a bad guess, this time, old man." smiled the lonely one. She will come back all right"
 ''She will, eh?' returned Smith. who was sure of his ground. What makes you think she'll come back?"
 "She is my wife," smiled the other, land this is our baby"

New York, February 19.-There was renewal of yesterdays selling movement at the opening of the market for coffee futures here today, but offerings were less active while there appeared to De a better demand at the opening decline of from to 6 points. May contracts sold at 7.7Tc during the first few minutes, while September sold at 7.96c, or about 30 to 36 points under the high records Of last Wednesday. There seemed to be some doubt however, as to whether the use of Brazilian government boats In the coffee trade would result in any easing of freight rates, while 1t was felt in some quarters that an increased suppiy of tonnage might possibly strengthen the views of Brazilian holders, and the market rallied sharply during the morn- ing on covering and moderate demand from trade sources.

5000 Aeroplanes in Germany

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 One of the most closely guarded secrets in the military establishments of Europe at the present time is the strength of the flying corps. That Germany at present has at least 5000 war planes in active use, is the statement attributed to one of the higher officers last month. This officer, when the military attache of one of the South American nations commented on the plans of the British government to build 10,0c0 aeroplanes, remarked cas- ually we have more than 9000 our selves!' Tn this connection 1t is also reported that along the Russian front, only an exceedingly thin line of infantry holds the trenches. and that nearly 2OeJ aeroplanes are cruising above the battle lines in the east, notifying the German headquarters in ample time of any move mepts along the Russion front. The cry ing need of the Russian armies now is flying machines, of which they need at least POGO to be able to cover their own movements Of troops
