a rentarkahly 3d4en snd violent, drop ia
1 rices came ia tbe afterrxoTi. The scene
or the Htnr cf the excSavnre were tbe wild
est seen In yearn and al values melled
away the brokers seemed frantic to sell.
Just before th derllae a report was cir
culated that Itaaiel J. Sully had cabled hi
Liverpool ccvrwrprnfienla that be bad swd
oat his holdings and was gc4ng away oc a
vacation. This report waa received with
oredetioe owlag to tb large settlements
said to have been made vita bis firm last
evecii.ig by several bear bouse.
Mr. Sully said today. -It h true I am
going away on a vacation fee' two weeks.
I think I have earned a reel.'"
As tb new spread that CferJel Sully had
decided to take a vacation every man wbo
owned a contract for denrery cf cotton
seemed desirous to eeil. In less than aa
hour Ui May opdoa fen a cent and a quar
ter a pound.
Tb fall was cherked an hour after ft
began by leueaed bull support. Tbeee pur
chases caused a Quick rally cf from
points, and tber th snarket steadied after
probably tbe most exciting hour's trading
tbe New York Cotton exchange had ever
known. The market rinsed steady with the
active month about 'ST3 points up from
tbe bottom. The day's sales were estimated
at :..( bales. .
NEW ORI-EANS. Feb. I The repeated
warnings and proxheaiea cf traders came
true today and tb cotton market sbowd
a eeri'S of rharp breaks, the last and most
sever of which lowered prke almost 1W
points, or a cent under the (losing prlc
of yesterday.
X'clik tb two other memorable breaks
cf tbs see son. tbe rroxnp waa unatttnded
with moch excitement A moderate vol
ume of trade had been ah own all day with
the largest antonnt i't business coming
from room trackra and outride scalper.
All of a sudden the entire ring was flooded
with selling oidexs and price commenced
a mad chase downward. Tbey dropped i
and 1( points at a time, under th press are.
What neak longs there were In the market
quickly let go and added to tLe volume
cf selling orders.
Some few stop loss orders were reported
and thrown upon tbe market, but almost
a quickly as it waa applied tiie pressure
was removed and prke shewed a qukk
recovery of buying orders. Early fa the
day It was the belief that tbe market would
be manipulated far a wide break before
tbe day was over and many broker cdnaed
consumers to keep out of the market.
Nearly all brokers asked Sit a bale mar
gin, a bile some asked tU. At all times th
market appeared ta be tn full control of
tbe lor.g side.

killed a WI1 that has been trooping through
the halls of corrreer many year. Mr Mc
Carthy had so tntrran whatsoever in the
bill. His attention nas called to It through
a circular letter sent to all representative
tn corurress and signed by a former dftn
ocratic sergeant -at -arms of the renate. Mr.
McCarthy tboaght It but right to 1-xik into
the Mil for th relief cf tbe oor.tract-ir
or his lexral representatives for tb con
stroctioa of the Lght draft monitor EUah.
Mr. Payne, chairman of th committet
oa ways aad mean, requested Mr MrCar
thy to examine the law p'tfnt connected
with this bill, wbkh tbe corigTesejnaa d.d,
to such satisfaction to th leader of tbe
bouse and others looking to boDert laclsla
tion that the MU failed of passage be
fore Mr. McCarthy's attack. He showed
that tbe measure bad been vetoed twioe,
once by Mr. Cleveland and once by Mr.
Harrison. That tbe supreme ccnirt had
also been In opposition to its allowance.
But particularly be showed that tbe re
ceipt fnr the conrtrartion of tbe EUah had
beea grrea by its constructors way back
la tb Forty-eighth cor free. Tbe 1411

th finding of facts as appropriation was
aked amounting to nearly t. je.Ole to re
compTiK the constructors. Mr. McCarthy
attacked the findings of the court of
claims and so suocessful was he In his
presentation of tbe law points that the
bouse stood with bins when th vote was
taken. Representative McCarthy waa mas
ter of himself and his subject in his
Initial appearance before the house and

Senator Millard nas been closely watch
ing legislation particularly with a view of
brtr-ging about closer relation srlth Fort
Crook and Omaha. He has had a number
of ideas In his mind that would bring th
fort nearer la metropolis of Nebraska, but
whenever he woald endeavor to get th
government Interested In doing its share of
tbe work In making a great highway be
tween Fort Crook and tb county line he
always met with objection. Recently a Hil
vas passed tn the senate ivthorizing a
macadam road Ave miles long between Pen-
sacola and the national cemetery tn Florida-
It was Senator Millard's opportunity. A
precedeci- had been ertab'iahed and today
the senator introduced a hffl providing for
an appropriation ef PB. w ta macadamise
a Bxteea-loot roadway from Port Crook
to tbe limit of South Omaha at a point
directly epposit th sec them terminus af
Thirteenth street tn Omaha. In this coa
necrjQS tt may not he out of place to say
that unless Port Crook ta brought nearer
to Omaha that both officers, and men lo
cated there wfl protest against Port Crook
as a military assignment. Officers who
come t Washington are not enamored
with the plaoe. Tbey say that the railroad
facilities' ar wholly Inadequate t meet the
desire cf officers and men. and that unless
closer communication Is brought about
