HANDS ARE
TIED FAST
Three Departments Awaiting
Action of Court in Trigg Case
WANT VESSELS FINISHED
But No Move Can Be Made Until Court
Renders Decision-Virginian Who
Got Rich in V/est is Visiting
His Old Home.
nmes-Dispath Bureau,
No. 1417 G Street. N. \V?
Washington, D. C, Mny 14th.
The threo flrepartmonts of the govern?
ment which aro afleeted by the bank?
ruptcy proceedings of tlio Trlgg Com?
pany are considerably wrought up over
the statua of the case at this time.
At the Treasury Department, Captain
Shoem-ker, chief of tlie revenue cutter
-ervice, for which service the Mohawk Is
being built, said that thoy would like to
go ahead and tow their boat up hero to
Washington and fit It up, but that it la
in the hands ot tho court, so that they
will have to await its action beforo they
could do anything.
They are very' anxious to have their
boat iVaUhed and put in commission, as
there is a pressing need for it. He said
thai the next forty-eight or fifty hours
would probably servo to shape matters
no that they could take some definite
action.
The War Department, for which the
Trlgg Company was building a dredging
boat, is anxiously awaiting advices from
the army ofllcor who represents the engi?
neer corps In Richmond before taking any
definite stops.
- Captain Patrick, of tho corps of engi?
neers, told Tho Times-Dispatch corre?
spondent to-day that they hoped to have
some definite advice on the subject by
Monday.
Judge Advocate General Lemley, ot the
Nnvy Department, said to-day that no
arrangements would or could bo made
with reference to towing the Galvestou
to Norfolk, pending the decision of the
L_i1ted States Court in the matter. The
steps that had been taken already, he
said, were slmp.ly to annul the contract
with the Trlgg Company, and that the
deportment would have to await the ac?
tion of tho court before making any fur?
ther arrangements for its final comple?
tion.
The officials of neither of the threo de?
partments have any hopes that the Trlgg
Company can finish their contracts, and
are looking towards, the bondsmen of the
company to securo them against loss.
MILLIONS BJDAT HIM.
W. G. Conrad and family, now of Mon?
tana, but who are natives of Clarke coun?
ty, are at the Now Willard. They are, on
their way to Clarke, where they go to
spend the summer, and where Mr. Conrad
owns a large coii-uy home.
Mr. Conrad left the Old Dominion many
years ago, and has grown up rich with
the country. But for the millions of W.
A. Clarke, Mr. Conra<l would probably
be representing Montana in tho United
States Senato to-day.

THE HIGHEST
FOR YEARS
Cotton Established New Rec?
ords on Yesterday.
JULY WENT TO 11 CENTS
May Made a New Record of 11.42, and
and Spot Cotton Quoted at 11.60.
Flush at Covering Demand
Demoralized the Pit.
(By Associated free?.)
NEW YORK, May 14.?Another now
record for the seaann was established in
the cotton market to-day, In fact, many
of tho older members agreed that It was
Ucubtful If any season In tlie enure his?
tory of the ex-hung- compared with to?
day's. Tlio big feature of tlio day waa
th_ price made by July in the last nulf
hour of trading, 11 conls, In tlie same
time August sold at 10.73. May mado a
new record of 11.42, and spot ?otton waa
tiuoted at 11.GO. .These prices woro the
highest in twelve or thirteen years, and
addeii to this, tho transactions were of
enormous volume.
At time- the econo on the floor wa?
one of the greatoat disorder, and tho rush
of -the covering demand throw the pit
Into a demoralized condition. At tlie
opening of the market trading was by
far the most aotlvo of the season, and
on the upward rush May sold at 11.40,
July at 10.99 and August at 10.07, all new
records.
The Liverpool reports gavo warning
that the day would be a lively one, as
sales of spot cotton there reached a full
dollar a bale higher than yesterday.
Early cables stated that some of the for?
eign short InWosts wero hi the market
talcing all tho cotton offered at the high?
est prices of a decade. The largest Indi?
vidual dealer in spot cotton In this mar?
ket received a message from Liverpool
reading as follows:
"The market will only stop advancing
when cotton gives out. It is getting very
scarce now."
STARTED WITH RUSH:
Liverpool stocks are smaller than for
a great many years, and the consumption
of American cotton Is nt record figures.
The market started with a rush at this
news from Liverpool, orders coming
mainly from commission houses. One firm
hed traded in.fifty thousand bales before
midday.
The total amount of cotton which is
now -.ere available for delivery on May
contracts Is 89.620 bales, which has a mar?
ket value at the current price of about
?VI per bale, or equivalent to total valu?
ation of nearly $54.200,000. This stock
shows an Increase of over S.00O bnles from
Tuesday and 10,000 since last Saturday,
and compares with 32,000 bales on April
-?th. The total amount of cotton now
hire of all kinds, by running count, is
1_.,000 bales, aealnst 5S.O0O on April 35th.
More cotton is being brought here by
these who had sold the May option short,
either as hedges against transactions in
spi ? cotton, or on differences between
this market and Liverpool, and who have
lritrded to make good their contracts to
the bull clique rather than go Into tho
pit and effect a settlement by buying the
cotton back. Some of those who were
sl'crt even brought some cotton back
from Liverpool, and it Is understood sev?
eral larger lots have been sent on here
from points ln New England, secured
from mill men nnd dealers there. At the
ptesent market price about $5,000,000 worth
of actual cotton will thus change hands
here dulng the closing deal In this May
option.
TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE
Mr. Whyte Reiterates Charges of Cruel?
ties in Congo.
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON. Mav 14.?Robert Whyte, the
repr?sentative In England of the Ameri?
can Presbyterian Church, has given out
the replv of Rev. William Morrison, of
Lexingtoi., Va., to the letter addressed
to him by Mr. Houdret, consul general of
the Congo Independent State ln London.
Rev. Mr. Morrison is a member of the
American Presbyterian Mission. He re?
cently inaile public here charges of tyran?
nical behavior on the part of whites In
the Congo over the native population.
To these charges Mr. Houdret replied, say?
ing In part:
"Your allegations would have been more
serviceable if they had been mode di?
rect to the authorities at Brussels, who
desire to repress abuses If any have been
committed."
In the letter made publlo by Mr,
Whyte Mr. Morrison says he did not
mention the matter of abuses In the
Congo while he ?vas In Brussels because
tho State officials at ?orna had just con?
cluded an Investigation and had reported
that the "charges were exaggerated."
Mr. Whyte, In giving out Mr. Morri?
son's letter, says King Leopold was ap?
pealed to In IMO by Mr. Morrison, who
called attention to the atrocities com?
mitted on Congo natives. This appeal
was acknowledged bv the chief of the
Cabinet, who said the matter was al?
ready being investigated. Mr, Whyte
says further:
"Tha Investigation and tlio punishment
alike were a travesty on Justice. Tho
rights of natives and traders aro invaded,
hence the interests of commerce, hu?
manity and religion claim the attention
of the governments of G'reat Britain and
the United .Stales."

A Richmond architect is to build the

fail to be acceptable to the general com?
mittee.
Just who the'Richmond Arm was that

REDUCE ARMAMENTS
OF THE NATIONS
(Ity AsBoeluted Press.)
LONDON. May 14.?The question of the
r?duction of. naval armaments came up
to-day In the House of Commons In the
course of a discussion of the navy and
estim?tes,
The speakers suggested that the gov?
ernment take the first step in proposing
a reduction to other Powers. Sir Charles
Dllko, advanced radical, said he thought

Mayor Beth Low, of Greater Ne?v York,
arrived in Richmond yestorday afternoon
about 2 o'clock, coming up the river on
his yacht "Surprise." A carriage met him
and with his wife he was driven over the
city for two or throe hours. He ex?
pressed a desire to visit Mayor Taylor,
but was informed that that olllcliil was
hardly at the City Hall at that hour,
thou about 2:30. He wn?ited to see the
Virginia Legislature malte a few laws,
bul that liody, with a provoking lack of
accommodation, liad tidoiurned \jai_l late
in tlie afternoon. He and Mrs. I.ow saw
u number of places emittierest iiTiout the
illy and returned to their yacht. At E
o'clock the "Surprise" turned her nose
down the rlvc-r, and the home run for
New York began.
