He desired, however. to let the gentleman have the uU ben efit of the proposition that the McKia- ley law was inadequate as a revenue raiser; and that the Wilson law was splendid production.

"But,' he continued, 1 belong to that elaas of people and represent a constituency who do not believe that any institution of the country. r any person, or body, engaged in administering th affairs of the nation, is so- sacrea tnat it is not subject to just criticism. On of the greatest menaces to tne prosperity ana DrosTess ot the renuouc ues in tne usurpations by the Judiciary, lies In the use of that subtle, never ceasing power which overturns the decisions of a hun dred years, affects the elections o Presidents and makes strange law by strange methods." Speaking of the re ported action of Mr. JuaUce.gkiras. Mr. Dearmond said: "He changed his mind in sucb a way as to lift from wealth a tax of. from forty to sixty millions a year, and uansfer It to poverty and toll. Men may change tneur minna, nut wnen forty to alxty millions annually are in the scale, and a trained judge without further argument and additional light chances his mind, why should there not be comment on it? His name will be kept alive, not In honor, but because the American people have been out raged by him." He would go further. Mr. DearmoBd said, and charge that the crime ot th hour was that the power of th Judiciary . was not strictly limited. Tber was s senti ment in the-: Hons and Senate both. which tended to minimise the power of legislation, and to secure additional power to the executive and to the 8u preme Court. There was every reason why tbe legislative power should be strengthened, that It might more prop erly represent the people, and why that of executive an. the courts should be restricted. Mr. Dearmond closed with a fervid. Impassioned appeal, for inter ventlon in behalf of the Cuban revolu tlonists. If asked upon what ground the intervention should be made he would say that it should be done upon the high ground that this nation of freemen, sons of freemen, sympathised with the efforts of: thoe sear our shores to become themselves free men: The Cubans, he said, had been: lured Into the rebellion by the people of the United States. ; Every wind from this shore carried to? them messages of sympathy aad support- He had hoped that tins administration would respond in some suitable way to the swelling sentiment of the country of the Cubans, and his. hope now was that the Incom ing administration would put itself m harmony with the overwhelming ,. de aire o-the eonl.- Applanse). "Had the election' last November resulted in the elevation of that match!sa leader. Win. J. Bryan, (loud Democratic ap plause) to the Presidency, I have no doubt that American sentiment would have been -fully and properly carried into effect upon his accession to power. Mr. Dearmond. with unusual vigor or ut terance, denounced the condition of af faire in Cuba as shame uu ana s cub rrace umn civilization, and to the self imposed inaulry "what shall we do 7" responded, "do anything-that will put a atop to the outrages; do anything that we ought to do, or have a right to do. Why should tbe government, rep resenting the people, say that it would never aee the flax of free cuna noat there f ore ver., ! Applause). What can not be done by the slow process of law should foe done by the sharp edge or the sword." Messrs. Hopkins and Grosvenor de fended the McKinley law against the charge of Messrs. Dockery and McMil- lin that tt. was' oencit-proaucing measure. ;And I finally. Mr. Plttney, Republican, of New Jersey, 'charged the responsibility for largely Increased appropriations In late years-to the poU Icy of the House,--waicn xiivuiesutne work and responsibility or the appro priations commit! e -among several committees.

New Tork, Feb. 13.- Cotton developed extreme weakness to-day in sympathy with the Liverpool market, developing weakness oyer the holiday and closing barely steady, at 1-1 decline In spots and -64d. in futures from Thursday's al price, and on the - weekly move ment of the crop, showing up 20,mkj to Mmmu bales larger in the total amount brought into sight for the week and in tne port receipts than bad been expect. ed. Some of - the old bulls who., nave been banking entirely on the alleged strength of the statistical position for the past two months to advance prices. were forced to let go, ana the liquids tion of smaller orders and heavy sell tng by foreigners and Southern traders, added 7to .the weakness. The market opened active and weak, with declines ranging from is to IS points and showed very little rallying power. Tne tone at the close was barely steady, with the final prices tbe lowest, 15 to 18 points below Thursday's dosing. The total port receipts tor the wees aggregatea 120,000 bales against 100,183 last week and 113,276 Last year, whereas the esti mates early tn tbe week were but for 5.009 bales. The total amount brought Into sight. lor six nays up to Thursday night, according to the Chronicle, was 133.39 against 168.134 and 116,490. With the Injection of tbe Cretan troubles as a factor in the European markets, we look for a continued feverish and irreg ular speculation. . B. CUTnBBT CU.

Tbe week, closes with cotton at the lowest price that it has touched. In many months. While the brokers here were enjoying their holiday yesterday, the markets of the world were marking down their values and we were confronted this morning with a staggering decline of four and one-half sixty-fourths in the Liver pool market, einoetne close on Thurs day. A rush to sell was tbe result here, and our opening was 11 to 13 points lower. May selling on the first call at . 7. Covering of special con tracts caused a momentary recovery of a few points, but the liquidation wae heavy and "continuous all during the session and the dose was barely steady at the bottom. May, after the opening, advanced to 8.78, declined to 6.73, and closed at A7JA74. r ; The movement for the week was sur prisingly heavy, and that, together with some alight uneasiness over the political situation In Europe, was large ly responsible for to-day's drop in prices.., ' - The bears contend that cotton has only begun to go down. They pretend to believe that the crop hs been, snd still is, largely underestimated, and tbey lay great stress upon .tbe apathy with which tbe speculators of the world regard the apparent cheapness of cottoau They clinch their arguments by pointing to the indications that planting will be conducted on an enor mous scale, and by asserting the exist ence still of an immense long interest, which win be forced, when the magni tude of the crop is finally realised, to liquidate at still lower prices. The bulls, while sorely tried by the baffling of all their hopes, are still stout in their as sertion that this decline has been un warranted ;; that it has been caused by short sales, and by the liquidation of a large number of tired holders. Th-y assert that the movement will yet prove that the crop is not a very Mg one; that the better business at th New England manufacturing centers and the better outlook for general trade will not fall of Its -legitimate effect In time, and while, they. admit that speculation is almost entirely ab sent from the cotton market at tbr moment, they predict that there t"Hi be no lack of it at the first sign of an advance..: '- sr t The, fan months were um active aad interesting feature.? of the first week. and were comparatively quite strongV r ...
