bestowed on his father nearly forty
years ago. Many other members of
the leading families of the aristocracy
cost the nation a large yearly amount
in the shape of pensions.
One of the most scandalous cases in
connection with the pension business- is
that of the* pension still being paid
to the heirs of th*’ Duke of Schomberg,
which was granted in 1694 and origin
ally amounted to $20,000 a year.. Part
of this pension was redeemed by the
government through a large payment
In cash, hut there are still $3,500 being
paid annually by the nation to a per
sonage who had nothing whatever to
do with the Schomberg family.
Then the state still pays, annual' In
demnities and compensations for old
claims like that of the Duke of Corn
wall. who was awarded an indemnity
for his discovery-of lead coinage. Just
now such a discovery is not of any
value commercially or otherwise, hut
the government still pays the indemni-
ity granted many years ago.
It is proposed to abolish all such pen
sion in the future if Parliament will
consent to pass a bill for the purpose
and it is also planned to propose a bill
forbidding in the future the granting
of any hereditary pension from the
government.
Another agitation is on foot among
the members of Parliament to. obtain
from the government an annual salary
of $3,000. following the recent example
of their French colleagues. Lord Rob
ert Cecil, son of the late Marquis of
Salisbury, has interested himself al
ready in the matter, and at a recent
seance has asked from the Chancellor
of the Exchequer an annual appropria
tion of $2,000,000 to meet the increase
in the indemnity of the members.

To Get Rid of Tobacco Worm.
Mr. James, of Kentucky, spoke for
protection against the tobacco worm.
He said;
"The tobacco trusts have now low
ered the price of tobaeo and the neces
sity for some concerted action on the
part of the Government is apparent.
This is equivalent to placing a tax on
tobacco and keeping tlm farmers from
selling at a reasonable price. It allows
ihe trusts slid monopolies to tlx the
price for their tobacco and insist that
as bang ns the Gove: nmeut will r.ot give
the farmers any relief from these com
binations that It ought to at least give
them the same chance In order that the
worms and Insects may be killed with
out the farmers having to labor their
lives away in catching the pests."
T e appropriation of $40,000 imme
diately available for cotton boll weevil
investigations, was op a point of order
made by Representative Fitzgerald,
stricken from the bill on the ground
that it was an urgent de'peieney item
and should be included in a deficiency
appropriation bill.
ing that Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah,
is not entitled to his seat, passing a
bill appropriating $2,000,000 to confine
i the Colorado river to its banks and an
other placing the management of the
Panama Railway under the Isthmian
j Canal Commission, the Senate today
listened to an extended speech by Sen
ator Carter, of Montana, In criticism
1 of the Secretary of Interior, and an-
: other by Senator Heyburn to the same
end. The recent order of the Secretary
preventing the issuance of patents to
the public lands until after an examl-
nation on the ground by a special
agent, was the subject of criticism,
and many Senators from Western
j States by casual Interruptions showed
their approval of the sentiments
, pressed.
Mr. Heyburn took the position that
the order was legally an order of the
President. He said the President in a
. recent message had said “practically,”
that he (the President) had ordered the
j Secretary of the Interior not to exe-
1 cute the public land laws. Mr. Hey-
. burn declared that the order had abso
lutely denied the right of one genera-
1 tion to avail itself of any benefits to
i be derived from the public land laws.
Tile Indian appropriation bill was re

NEW YORK. Ja:i. 31.—The cottpn mar

low point carlv in tlie session and closed
steam- at a decline of 2 points to an
advance of 13 point-, the new crop being
relatively firm. Sales fqr the day were
estimated at 175.900 bales.
The opening was steady at an advance
of 5 points to a decline of 1 point, the
gains Isdng duo to better cables than
due on the New York close of yesterday,
while If developed during the progress of
the cal! that there were selling orders
around the ring in the hands of cotton
houses, presumably received as a result
of last night's margin calls. The execu
tion of the-e orders sent the market off
to 9.11 for March and 9.36 for July during
the first few minutes, or about 5a^ points
net lower-and to a new low level for the
season, but ns soon as the liquidation had
run its course, the market rallied on cov
ering of shorts and a little buying for a
turn prompted by the smaller estimates
for tomorrow's receipts at leading points,
and reports of a better demand for low
grade cotton front New Orleans.
The-close "was at practically the best
point of the session on the active months
with March net’ unchanged and October
13 points net higher. The March-May
differences widened to 17 points during
the day. showing the apprehension of
March tenders toward the- end of Febru
ary. Unsettled conditions in Wal! street
led to some Wall street selling during the
early session. Southern spot markets, as
officially reported, were generally un
changed. Receipts for the day underran
early estimates.
Receipts of cotton at tlie ports today
were 40.462 bales against 48.397 bales last
week, and 14.066 bales last year. For the

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.—There was a
further outpouring of stocks Into the mar
ket in the eariv operation-- today, during
which a few Influential stocks wore driven
lower than yesterday, before the final re
covery.
But the bear operators became im
pressed with the buying at tiie declines,
and set about reducing their commitments
on the short side. A recovery was the re
sult. Very large buying order- were cxc-
. 9t” I cuted in L'nion Pacific, and this was of
. great influence on sentiment towards
. g% | ti;e whole market. It was manifest, how
ever. that support by main force was the
principal clement in checking the furth
er fall in prices this morning. The buy
ing with this object showed no disposi
tion to follow the advances after it had
achieved its purpose.
Nor was there evidence of important
concerted measures to drive tlie bears to
cover by bidding up prices. The buying
from the bears was conducted with a de
gree of deliberation and lack or urgency
that kept open all the feeling of suspi
cion towards the rally avnongst the trad
ing element.
An impression got abroad that ar'reduc
tion on the part of the Government 4s

that the resignation of Sir Alexander
Swettenham, as Governor of Jamaica,
has been accepted, though the officials
of the foreign office refuse' all informa

be completed for handing over the af

Mr. Phinizy to any designated point
and Investigate his charges that the
property of the road is being allowed
to go to waste And ruin, and that it Is
dangerous to travel over it. The pe
tition of Mr. Phinizy was read at the
meeting of the commission this morn-

conclusion reached.
Under the act of October, 1903. the
railroad commission is required to
m3ke investigation of the physical con
dition of any road in the State on
proper complaint to it.
Mr. Phinizy's petition is gt-reral in
its character, setting foyth that the
roadbed and roiling stock of the Geor
gia road are both inadequate and un
safe. Under it the only thing for the
commission to do would be to go on
foot over more than three hundred
miles of roadbed, which would he com
pelling Col. Stevens to make good on
his proposition for a thorough inves
tigation "if lie had to walk over every
foot of the road.” s
The course now depends largely upon
Mr. Phinizy's reply to the commission.

Governor W. J. Northcn, of Atlanta,
addressed a body of oitizon^ here yes

der League recently formed in Atlanta.
The object of the work is to create
sentiment in favor of law and against
crime. It looks toward tho co-opera
tion of the white people and negroes.
Mr. Xortfcen made a most earnest
and forceful address, which deeply im
pressed his hearers. What he said
agaihst mob law was exceedingly
strong.- He laid down the proposi
tions that mobs do not prevent crime
but rather help to create it in a spirit
of [retaliation and also that it is
brutalizing in its influence on thoso
who participate in it. It is likely
that a strong organization will follow
the address here.
