larger than the government's prelim-

of prices is sure to be maintained for
a long time to come than prevailed in

There will unquestionably be a good
market in the United States for a
12.000.000-bale crop iu 1904. That fig-
ure should be kept in mind as a de-
sirability for the coming season. The

The grand Jury completed its labors
yesterday by returning indictment*
against M Cookibus Publlua and Davld-
I.enu, members of tho aenate. It
has been known for some time that these
ntlemen were under suspicion, but. neve-
rtheless, the news of their indlctmen#
reated considerable furore In aport-
Ing and political circles.
The Indictment agulnat Mr Publlus
contains three separate counta. It alleges
that during the Idea of March he accepted
half a ton of coke from the Pluto Coke
mpany, for which he did* not pay.. As
Publlua never paid for anything, any-
way. It seems to ua that further proof
of hie guilt ahould be produced.
aecond counta sets forth that Pub-
was seen in the Imperial wine rooms
with Mis* Flossie Uleachorlna of the
Muadlln Maidens' Burlesque ConjpanJ.
and that while In said resort he ordered
inks lavishly and was not seen to set-
tle for aame.
The third count states that he ac-
cepted three sesterces from T. Androni-
a local tight promoter, and that the
latter also presented Plublus with a box
of stogies for a birthday remembrance.
Davldsonla Lena, it la alleged, haa
tpenly boasted of the killings he hus
made during the last year, and has ac-
cepted all manner of bribe** from all man-
jt transgressors. There are forty -
counta in the Indictment returned
ugalnat him. and lack of space prevents
their repetition here.
Neither of these gentlemen could be
found today by our reporter, who has
nursing a stubborn case of jag since
Thursday, but there, will bo u full Inter-
