There were about 330 prisoners and about

district. He expressed the opinion that
there had been no occasion for declaring
martial law.
Some ot Mr. Lentz's inquiries brought
into quostion the accuracy of the report
of the testimony taken by the industrial
committee as to the Idaho trouble, but
this line of inquiry was ruled out on the
ground that the committee had no au
thority to investigate the industrial con
dition. On cross-examination, Representative
Purker took the witness to task over cir
cumstances on the day the mill wan
blown up. Stewart said he saw large
parties leave Mullan und return luler in
tho day, but he did not know the purpose
of their movements, Several members
of the committee questioned tho witness
as to the departure of the miners on the
day of the dynamiting of the mill. He

RAW COTTON.
We here print a recent report on this subject, taken from the Dry
Goods Economist: .,
"The cotton market scored another strong advance this week. Spot
cotton, which last week crossed the 8c line, rose to 8c in the-New York
Exchange and parsed the 5d. lindt In Liverpool, the market for futures
fully participating in the upward movement. The cause of the advance is
the honvy purchases of cotton abroad, where, as already stated In these
reports, spinners are behind in their supplies.
How long these conditions will exist is, of course, uncertain) but is is
certain that the average under cotton will be vastly increased by the high
price, and as time goes on this fact will receive more and more attention,
with the natural result.
Prices range about as follows :
Spot cotton: New York, 8c; last week, 8)c; Liverpool, 5 1 32d ;
last week, 4 21-32d.
March futures : New York, 8 30c ; last week, 7.86 Liverpool, 4 51 -64d
lest week, 4 20-64d,
The receipts for the first five days of this week were 142, 164 bales,
against 91, 035 bales for the corresponding period last week' The receipts
for the season amonnt to 4,955,741 bales, againBt 6,010,621 bales at the
same period last year. The visible supply of 3.634,052 bales, against
5.081,559 hales for the corresponding period Inst week. Exports for the
first five days of the present week were 113,757 bales, against 98,630 bales
for the corresponding period last year.

Ituasla ltuya American Coal.
New Youk, March 1. Russia is likely
to become a large consumer of American
'iituminous coal. While no contract has
yet been signed, representatives of the
Russian Imperial Government have been
making overtures to the Berwlnd-White
Coal Mining Company looking to the
purchase and shipment of nearly half a
million tons to porta on the Baltic.
John Berwind, Vice-President of the
Coal Company, said last night the only
difficulty consisted in the problem of
freights and transportation. Should the
pending negotiations end successfully,
he said, he thought likely that Russia
would carry the coal in her own ships,
probably utilizing the same vessels which
she will employ to carry the iron, steel
and ore already contracted for with the
Carnegie-Frick Company.

Germany AgaliiRt American Meat.
New York, Maroh 1. A apicial to
the Times from Washingtoi says: Al
though it is out of the question to at
tempt to obtain any official authority
for the assertion that olitica in Germany
are preparing the way for icrioua
difference! betwean Germany and the
United States in commercial matters, in
formation is obtained heie to justify tho
statement that in case the lawmakers o
Germany carry out their declared pur
pose of excluding American meat pro
ducts, such a course will be met with,
retaliation by the United States.
For a Icng time, several montliB In
fact, negotiations have teen at a stand
still on the question of reciprocity with
Germany. Under the conditions faced
there by the Imperial Government it
was regarded as useless to attempt to ar
range a reciprocal baslB that would not
include all American products without
prejudice. To take any official steps in
advance would be regarded as a menace.
Nothing in the way of menace will be
attempted. But there is reasqn to as
sort that if It is found to be the settled
purpose of the German Government to
sanction exclusion of Americau meats or
other products from Germany, it may be
expected that the government of the
United States will feel constrained ta
use sucli power as it may possess to im
press upon Germany its disapproval ot
the discriminations threatened against
the producers of this country.
