enthusiastic manner is which the people
of Marseilles greeted the arrival of Mr.

Philadelphia. Nov. Jt-The commis
sion dealers la Southern cotton yarns
In tola city are of the opinion that the
8outhern Cotton Spinners' Association
will abandon Its effort to reduce the
area t discount aad commission on the
sale of their product, In view of a tel
egram sent them yesterday by leading
commission bouses of the country, re
fusing to lower the rate. T. Aatiby
Blythe, who seat tills telegram to the
Southern spinners of yarn, said:
'I wish to emphasise the fact that
com mission dealers of New York. Phila
delphia and Boston have no ill-feeling
toward the Southern Ootton Spinners'
Association, ft Is simply a matter of
business. TJM houses which have refus
ed the Southerners' request represent
a capital of WO, 009,000, and do an annual
business of 10.000,000. They sre prec
ticaliy the only yarn commission
houses In the country. They have of
fices in Philadelphia. Boston and New
Tbrk and monopolise the business. They
slso represent the Yarn Merchants'
Association, which Is to the comml
siim trade of the North what the
Southern Association Is to the yarn-
spinning trade of the South. It is im
possible to reduce the rate of 3 per cent
discount for caah and & per cent, com
mission and handle Southern yarns at
a profit. It coats 3Vt per cent, to sell
tht.e yarns, leaving only iw per cent,
to cover bad delta and provide profits.
This has been the rate for 20 year.
Previously It waa 4 and 3 instead of I
and 3 per cent., and then the manufactur
er paid the expenses of storage.drayage,
etc., on bis yarns, which he does not
now pay. The rate 'would fall if It could;
competition would mnke it fall, but yes
terday's unanimous decision of the com
mission houses to maintain it, shows
the utter impossibility of lowering it
and doing business. Catlln c Co., i
very important house, were not tnclud
ed among those In my telegram because
I was unable to set' the head of the
firm. I saw him later, and they are
now with the other houses in the de
termination to maintain the discount
and commission. The argument now
Indulged In has not Interfered with the

ARTILLERY INCREASE NKKDK1).
That Branch of Oar Coast Defences Should
be Greatly Improved.
Washington, Nov. 23.-The annual re
port of the board of ordnance and for
tlflcations, Just made public sums up
concisely a very large amount of ex
perimental work (accomplished by the
board during the past year. A general
statement of what Is needed in the fu
tore Is contained in the following para
graph:
'The work of equipping our coast
fortifications is progressing rapidly and
a large portion of the new armament is
already ens-tailed, lucre is unpen live
need for an adequate farce of trained
artillerists to care for and man the guns
nchv mounted. The board, taerefore
deems it within Its province to invit
the attention of Congress to the neces
slty Cor reorganization, and material
increase of the artillery arm of the ser
vice. In this connection also the board
recommends that steps be taken at an
early date to provide the coast artillery
personnel with suitable ranges and otb
er facilities for carrying out each year
a system of practical drill and target
practice with heavy guns under corral
tlons approximating those of actual
service.
"As the (primary object of the de
fences is to protect the harbors and Wa
terways along our coasts, the guns are,
as a rule, so placed that target firing
with full charges and at the longer and
more important ranges can seldom take
place without endangering the lives and
damaging the property of private oiti
sens. This is practically true fn th
case of fortifications defending the
larger harbors, where there is shipping
constantly within range ana where pn
vate houses are in such close proximity
to the runs as to be seriously affected
by shock.
'At least three practice ramree should
be provided one for the North At
lantic, one for the South Atlantic and
Gulf and one for the 'Pacific."

Judge Taayor Listens to Argument la the
Carter Case and Beserves His Decision.
Leavenworth, Kana, Nov. 38. In the
United State District Court here to
day, before Judges Amos Thayer and
Hook, hearing was begun in the ha
beas corpus proceedings brought by at
torneys for O. M. Carter, ex-captain of
the United States army, who waa dis
missed from the army, fined and gen
fenced to a term of years In the Feder
al prison at Leavenworth, on the charge
of complicity In alleged attempted
frauds In the government harbor works
contrtp at Savannah, Qa.
Carter was brought from prison to
the court room in an ambulance unat
tended save by Warden McCaulrey, He
appeared self-possessed but avoided the
gase of spectators who crowded the
room. He was attired In a new black
suit, which the warden at the prisoner's
earnest solicitation permitted him to
substitute for his prison garb. His hair
and heavy moustache were much gray
er than before he began serving hla
term, and his face was wan.
Frank P. Blair, of Chicago, and Con
gressman Orosvenor, of Oblo, appeared
for Carter, while Col. J. W. Clous, dep
uty Judge advocate general of the ar
my, and District Attorney I, E. Lam
bert and his assistant, H. '.C. Hone, rep
resented the government. Judge Thay
er limited Carter's attorney to three
hours and the government to b.vo and
one-half hours for argument. Attorney
Blair opened for Carter, whose con tic
Uon, he alleged, was Illegal, inasmuch
as it should have been secured under
the 88th article of war Instead of the
82nd, and when the President dUap
proved several findings In a court
martial, the full sentence pronounced
by tho court-martial ceased to exist,
and Its execution was Illegal and void
He also argued that when Carter paid
his fine and waa dismissed from the
army and degraded, the power of the
court-martial was exhausted and bore
no right to cause imprisonment.
Carter showed slight nervousness as
the hearing proceeded. Wis eyes went
quickly from his attorney to th Judges

argument.
