order. After the journal had been
approved and the routine morning
business transacted, Mr. Lodge, re
publican, of Massachusetts, addressed
the senate upon his resolution of in
quiry as to why the United States
warships had been withdrawn from
Honolulu. At the conclusion of Mr.
Lodge’s remarks, Mr. Butler, of South
Carolina, moved the reference of the
resolution to the committee on foreign
relations. >Mr. Lodge was disposed
to combat this reference, insisting
that it should more properly go to the
committee on naval affairs. The mat

Gray, Lodge and others. Mr. Aldrich

FROM WASHINGTON.
NEWSY ITEMS PICKED UP AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.
Sayings and Doings of the Official
Heads of the Government.
The president has decided not to
send his proposed financial message to
congress. Although he had written
much of it he has destroyed the sheets
and consigned them to the waste basket.
The flresident sent to the senate
Monday the following nominations:
Hiram R. Lott, Louisiana, consul at
Managua, Nicaragua. Postmasters—
Alabama, W. 0. Dowdell, Auburn;
Georgia, Laura Wilder, Forsyth; Mis¬
sissippi, Mary E. McIntosh, Ellaville.
Representative Phillips, of Penn¬
sylvania, has expressed a willingness
to pay a quarter of a million of dollars
out of his own pocket to meet the ex¬
pense of the labor commission, if con¬
gress will authorize the creation of the
commission in accordance with, the
terms of bill he has presented. “
a
The senate judiciary committee Mon¬
day considered the case of Judge Clark,
appointed United States judge for the
eastern and middle distriot of Tennes¬
see. A special committee Plati consisting
of Messrs. Hill, and Lindsay,
was appointed to investigate all the
charges and report to the full commit¬
tee at a later day.
It is practically settled that the na¬
val appropriation bill as reported for to
the house will contain provisions
two, and possibly three battleships, at
a cost of about $4,000,000 each. Mr.
Talbott, who is making the first draft
of the bill, is heartily in favor of bat¬
tleships and the report on the bill,
which will probably be written by
him, will make a strong showing of the
merits of the battleship as an arm of
naval service.
The judgment of those senators who
have remained in the city during the
recess iB that the Nicaragua bill can¬
not pass at this session. "It is not a
favorable time to urge such a mea¬
sure,” said Senator Davis, of the for
eign relations committee, “TimeB
have been so hard and the people do
not like the prospect of increased ex¬
penses or of creating an additional
debt. The short session of congress
is not a favorable time to urge such a
measnre, as sufficient time oan be
easily consumed to secure its defeat. ”
There are other senators who disonss
the subject in much the same way.
The president has sent to the senate
a full report of the Blueflelds affair,
comprising all the correspondence passed re¬
lating to the subject whioh has
in the last two years, making a for¬
midable document of over 600 pages.
It shows that the administration has
praotic&lly succeeded in settling one
of the most annoying international
questions that has perplexed this and gov¬
ernment for about fifty years, to
the settlement of whioh some of the
ablest statesmen of the United States,
including Clayton, Marcy, Cass, Sew¬
ard, Froh, Evarts, Blaine, Frelinghuy
sen and Bayard, devoted their best ef¬
forts.
There has been a great deal of non¬
sense printed consequent upon the fact
that Senator Hill dined at the white
honse upon the invitation of the pres
dent. At the dinner the president
and Senator Hill talked the situation
over and the latter gave the idea that
in order to pnt through any measnre
it would be necessary to give to the
silver people in the therefore senate determined some con¬
cession. It was
that there shonld be either in the
honse or in the senate provision made
for the coinage of the silver seignior¬
age now in the treasury. Senator Hill
told the president that in his such opinion
a financial reform measnre, as
that indicated, oonld be pnt through
both houses at this session.
Presidential Nominations.
The president sent to the senate Fri¬
day the foUowing nominations: Post¬
masters—Mrs. Mary B. Fly, Goliad,
Texes; William J. Witherspoon, Mad¬
ison, Fla.; John Stanley,' C. Richards, Starke,

RESTRICT ACREAGE.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON FACTORS
MAY ASSIST THE FARMERS.
They Will Attend the Jaclcson Meeting
and Suggest an Agreement.
The cotton factors of New Orleans
have signed an agreement with a view
to assisting the farmers’ movement to
restrict the production of cotton. The
plan proposed will be presented to the
Cotton Growers’ convention, which
meets at Jackson, Miss. The agree¬
ment is to continue for one year and
will not go into effeot nntll 76 per
cent of thq farmers in 95 per cent of
the cotton producing counties Bign it.
The farmers are to agree to plant only
a certain acreage, reducing the amount
in every case to one-third less than
this year. A committee of seven are
to be elected in eaoh county who wiU
see that the farmers keep their obliga¬
tions.
Any surplus above the amount agreed
to be planted is to be destroyed by the
committee at the'oost of the producer.
The counties’ committee will elect a
state committee and the state oommit
the will meet iu March to determine
whether or not the plan shall go into
effect. They will hold another meet¬
ing in December to determine if the
agreement shall continue another
year. Each farmer ia to pay 2 cents
per acre for every acre planted, 50 local per
oent of this Bum to be devoted to
purposes and 50 per cent to general
purposes. The plan of the cotton fac¬
tors declares that dealing in futures is
not detrimental to the cotton produc¬
ers, but the low prioe of the staple is
due entirely to overproduction.
TRADE TOPICS.
Bradstreet’s Report of Business for
the Past Week.
Bradstreet’s weekly review of ttade
Bays: been material im¬
"There has no
provement in general trade. At large
eastern cities only a moderate volume
of business is reported, Buffalo and
Boston inclining to regard the near
outlook the more hopefully. Phila¬
delphia and Pittsburg are naturally
affected somewhat by lower quotations
for iron and steel and Baltimore pre¬
fers awaiting orders from commercial
travelers before • expressing opinions
on the outlook.
General trade is reported Memphis, quiet at
Charleston, Nashville and
with mercantile collections fair only.
At Chattanooga and Atlanta very lit¬
tle is doing in wholesale lines, the
former reporting manufactures quiet
as a result of prolonged holiday influ¬
ences and the weather. At Savannah
trade is quiet, but improving and
lections are only fair. Cotton manu¬
facturers are taking some new
tracts, but merchants will act with ex¬
treme conservatism. Augusta ootton
factories report a fairly gt ood demand
and improved collections, though gener¬
al trade shows no gain. City and coun¬
try trade is reported fairly satisfactori¬
ly by Jacksonville. Damage from ex¬
tremely cold weather in Florida to
fruit and vegetables is quite heavy,
orange growers being affected serious¬
ly. At Birmingham manufacturers re¬
port orders scattered, general trade
quiet and collections only fair. There
is only a small volume of business at
Naw Orleans and collections are slow.
At Galveston trade is very quiet and
orders are for needs only.
All western cities announce practi¬
cally unchanged trade conditions and
light or moderate volumes of business,
conspicuously Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Detroit and Louisville, although the
Straits city reports cold weather has
stimulated orders and Louisville that
merchants are more hopeful. At Chi¬
cago orders are mostly of the filling-in
variety and Bt. Louis merchants are
still working on inventories and start¬
ing ont commercial travelers. Busi¬
ness is confined.mostly to mail orders.
