P pul ist, for his light against the Senate restaurant extravagancy The Washington Post show’s the Senator up in r it her a bad light in the following in cident : Yesterday Mr Allen was asked whether he would like to go out to Illinois with the remains of the late Representative Post “Yes,” be replied, “and 1 would like to take my daughter wbh me ” As it is not customary for Senators or members to convert a funeral escort into a junketing trip for their families, Mr Allen's request necessitated a conference between the officials of the S mate and of the II >ußo. A messenger from the ofllce of Sergeant at-Arms Bright saw the Sergeant at Arms of the House and finally it was concluded to allow Senator Allen’s daughter to join the party. night the Senator and the lady appeare ' promptly at the Baltimore and Ohio depot, just before 8 o'clock When the Post repoiter saw them they were occupying very comfortable quarters in a brilliantly lighted Pullman car, wuih a colored }M>rter attending to their wants. “Does Muss Allen go at the expanse of the government ?" as%ed the Post repor ter of Assistant Sergeant at-Arras Moh ler. “O, yes ” was the reply. “And Senator Allen has not bought a ticket for her ?” “Certainly not. She will return with the party, so far as 1 know She is the only lady brought by any member of th» committee, although Mr. Post's widow and daughter are going with us. and we were afraid that, she might not find the trip very pleasant.” At exactly 8 o'clock Senator All *n and his daughter left on their trip to the southwestern part ot Illinois, at govern meat expens* 8.

He held the close attention for ever three hours of a large audience on the floor and in the galleries, as he delivered, with great earnestness and eloquence, his views on the financial condition of the government. He held up to ridicule and contempt what he called “the fran tie appeals’ of the executive depart rnent and said that those appeals showed that that branch of the gover; raeut was in wrong hands. He spoke of the Oar -1 isle bill offered iu the House as a bd which, for crudities and absurdities, had had few equals in this or any other Congress, and said that if it had been introduced by a member of the Populist patty it would have been regarded as th height of lunacy.

One of these bets was closed he tween Tom 8* tt e and Mar-hall Mott, the former having bet that Pritchard j wouldn’t be nominated, Moody being stake holder. One dramatic incident, mention of which cannot be made here, showed to a dead certainty that Butler is a warm Pritchard partisan, and it may he that the Wizard's wits may l>e put to the r ! best to day in away to deprive him ! of the same amount of pleasure in the ! gosp> 1 that h * seemed to take last night m the play of Charlotte Corday.

The lowest was 30 to 29 au 1 it is confidently claimed that Pritchard has 34 votes. Pritchard sdl: “If 31 beats 28, I shall l>e nominated when the caucus reconvenes.

Cotton Letter of Cuthhert A Co- Special to the News and Observer. New Yo k, Jan. 12. There was nothing in th ' news received here f ami the South or Liverpool oalcu laied to influence prices much either way ami as the local operator w* re not in dined to increase their interests the speculati ns were very tame. As a mat ter of f*ct it was aland the dullest Satur day half holiday market we ha>e ever had. The total sales barely exceeded 17,000 bales, and the fluctuations in pri ces were confined within a range of two points The receipts at New Orleans on Monday are esumtitd at 13,00 to 16,0000 bales against 2,026 last w«*«*k and 9,028 last year. The total receipts at all ports during the c tniug week are estimated at 18.000 bales against 21u,800 this week and 159,6H1 last year In Fall River, Massachusetts, the market has been a git ited and unset t led throughout. At the closing, however, it is quiet and ea*y on a ha*is of 29 10 cents for extras, sellers having success fully combatted the efforts of the buyers to bring tho price down t.*> 2 12 cents, the fi*west price in the history of the country. Operations were <*n a more extended scale. Production 210,000; de liveries 226,000 pieces; sales 106,000 pieces, including 84,000 odds and 82,000 sixty-foursquares, of which 54.500 were spots and 112,000 futures. Stock 98,000 odds and 50,000 sixty four squares. Total, 118,000 pieces. If the price should recede to 2jf cents there m ly be a return of the trouble experienced in August and during the fall of 1894, but the depression in the value of raw material offsets this in a great measure.
