tons to China for her wise step in deeid-

The Chinese government expressed
desire to increase the customs tax, to sus.

of conveying our sincere fluctuations ard
at the same time to consult with the
American officials regarding the cooper

pean war. The members of that mission
exchanged frank views with the America
authorities and the result was the estab-

regard TO military cooperation. Proiting
by this opportunity the Chinese question
was made the subject of q full and frank

the American government gave recog

citing game Friday. The Pointers led of
With two runs, but the visitors tied up in
the fourth and forged ahead by q run In

for the Pointers, pitchings strong game,
adding three hits. Howard osgood,
pitehing for the visitors, struck out eleven
Pointers but was somewhat free with

With the defeat OF Bluehill Thursday,
the Hancock Point base ball team believes
il has right to claim the amateur cham

team has been putting up good game all
the season, having defeated Bluehill twice,
Harrington, Ellsworth, and Sullivan once
each. The only setback that the Pointers
have suffered Was at the hands OF the Bar
Harbor naval reserve. The team has bee n

NV York, Dec. 31.-The cotton
market was extremely nervous and
irregular during today's early trad

at an advance of 10 points on Feb
ruary but the general list was twen-
ty points higher. Later this ad-
vance was reduced by selling and

The demand was supplied and the
market broke sharply after the call
under general selling. There was
southern selling on the break which
reached from 1890 to 2S.SS for
January and from 2S.1O to 27.6O
for March or about rs to 35 points

WOULD
REMOVE GUDGER

Washington, Dec. S1.-Postofice
Inspector B. B. Webb, of States
Vile, has filed with the United
States Postofflce Department an un-
favorable report as to the admins
tration of postal acairs by Postmas-
ter Owen Gudger at Asheville. The
inspector, it was learned today, pre-
fers no charge against Postmaster
Gudger, but suggests to the depart
ment that a change of postmasters
would be for the good Of the SER
vice.
It is understood that Assistant
Postmaster General John G. Rooms
has expressed the opinion that the
removal of Postmaster Gudger is
advisable, indicating that his execu-
tive ability was in question. The
report of Postoffice Inspector Webb
somewhat holsters up the belief of
the Assistant Postmaster General.
The failure of the postmaster, SO
the allegation goes, to make firm
decisions In the administration OF
the affairs of the Office has handi-
capped the Asheville postal facili-
ties.

HURLEY ARRANGES
FOR MORE POTASH

Paris, Dec. 30.-Chairman ~Hur-
ley, Of the American Shipping Board
has devised an important plan for
utilizing the vast amount Of Ameri-
can tonnage now returning to the
United States in ballast for supply
ing the United States with the huge
stock Of potash needed for agricul-
tural purposes, as we'll as large
quantities of French, English, Bel
gian and Italian products.
Experts of the war trade board
will leave for the Alsace deposits to-
morrow to arrange for large ship
ments of potash, Mr.. Hurley added.
According to Mr.. Hurley the
United States now requires between
500, 900 and 100000 tons Of potash,
and he said he believed the Alsatian
deposits would fully meet the re-
quirements. The United States pre-
viously was largely dependent upon
Germany for potash.
Mr.. Hurley's plan also contem-
plates intense shipping Of French,
Italian, English and Belgian pro-
ducts, which are habitually required
in the United States.
