Parker, President'Cotton Exchango, Now Orleans. Dear Sir: 1 am in receipt of your uicssagoof yestorday afternoon in which you charge that the quotation scivioo last Friday ''was no less criminal than if it had been tho result of wilful and corrupt deception," and in which you douiand that tho "official ! or officials whoso ncgloot of duty pormittod suoh conditions, and the operator or operators who sent tho dispatches without notico of ohango should bo known to tho world and promptly dismissed." In answer thereto, and with all rc speet to the members and officials of your exchange, and with every desire to give to thorn assuraneo of precaution against tho possibility of a repetition of tho circumstances of last Friday, I beg to say: First. That wo oannot admit that any criminality can bo attributed to tho notion or omission of any otlioial or operator of tho company. Tho explanation already sent to you frankly and exactly statos the oause of tho confusion in tho reports and that causo must bo freo from any imputation of the charge of intentional neglect or wilful misrepresentation in any form or dogreo. Second. It is tho purpose of tho Western Union Telegraph company and its officials to ensure to tho New Orleans cotton oxchango, and all other exchanges, tho most effioiont and rcliablo tolcgraphic sorvioo possiblo. Your long oxporiouco makes you cognizant of tho intricacos of that scrvico and will also confirm tho fact that formoro than 20 years It has boon pcrformod with exactness, reliability and promptness. This result has only been roachcd by xi-.-j * i . _ .o i ll 1 1 mo euucauon 01 men especially auaptoc' to it. Third. The instant dismissal ol tho \ncn of any of thorn .who wcro on duty last Friday would not accomplish any good purpose, but might on tho contrary, by tho necessary substitution of inoxperioncod inon, put the corrootnoss of tho sorvice in peril, to tho oqual disad vantage of tho exehango and tho company. In the abscnoe, thorcforo of any possible suspicion of dishonesty of uiotiro or action, and bccauso of our wish and purpose to presorvo tho high quality of tho sorvico that has always been rondorcd, with tho ono accidental oxooption last Friday, we must request you and the members of your exehango to belicvo that wo havo applied such disoiplino to tho officials and oporators in tho commercial news dopartmont as will best guarantco the improbability of any interruption in any way to tho oxoollcnco of tho sorvico. Fourth. This dooision ha>< been roaohed JJfter tho mostcaroful oiamination of all ooncorned in the scrvio^ of Friday, and with duo consideration of. tho importanco of tho sorvice to your oxohango. While appreciating tb > conditions which diotatod your message wo cannot but belicvo that your own reconsideration of tho subject will lc .d you to coincide with us. (Signed) Thomas T.

Then Hasoldcn moved j to make tho .suspension ot Out/.s per- j muncnt, but boforo action was taken , an adjournment was had. , There was a oommittee appointed to ) look into the contraband room, consist- , ing of Uaseldcn and Robiuson. They ] wont right into things. Their summary made nine pages and there woro several hundred pages of affidavits , bearing out tho summary of the committoo. Tho meat of the report against Douthit is, it seems from tho testimony, that under instructions from Commissioner Douthit one firm's labels woro ordered to bo place I on another firm's whiskey, and that high grade la bols havo been placed on lower brands of goods. In this connection Superintendent Bryant testifies: "Yes, I put up whiskey in bottles with ono firm's whiskoy with another firm's labels, but it was undor instructions from Commissioner Douthit." Ho further testifies that Lanahan's labels wero placed on tho goods of the Wilson Distilling oompany. Gantt says: "Yes; whiskey is bottled with ono linn's label and another firm's whiskey. I have never known him to put a label on whiskey where tho liquor called for by tho label was choapor than tho whiskoy actually in tho bottles. Wo put up ono X corn whiskoy with labols of XXX." ( King testifies that whiskey was put up last Saturday and the XXX label was used, but tho firm name "Wilson Distilling Co." was struck oil'. Knrnhart, assistant suporintondent, tostiliod: "I have never known him to put n label on whiskoy whoro tho labol was cheaper than tho whiskoy. llavo known him to put on as high as aji XXX label on G rover whiskoy? which 1 havo heard is X goods. I have nevor kopt a record of theso changes. This has been a practieo during Mr. j,)outhit's administration. They put up' Grovor's whiskoy Saturday morning with Wilson labels, but tho nanio "Wilson" was struck off. U. II. Charles, assistant bookkeeper, says: "Grover's whiskoy is olassod as X corn whiskey and the difference in the price of X and XXX corn to consumers is $1 por gallon." 'Jhe roport of tho committee says: "Wo concoivo it to bo our duty to report tho faots to the board as tlioy really appoar, but in our finding the ocnclusion oannot bo escaped that this schorao of changing tho labols on whiskey shipped out could havo been do,vviscd for no other purposo than to crcato a way for collecting moro money for goo Is sont out to the local dispensors than tho saiuo woro invoiced for to the commissioners; and, further, to create tho improssion on tho members of tho board that certain brands arc .becoming moro popular, thoy boing hard to koop In stook.

A special dispatch from Washington tothoNows and Courier nays sodesperato has tho Republican situation in Ohio beootne that Senator Mark 11 anna has revived tho Jay llubbe'l systom of levying campaign assessments upon tho Federal ollico-holdcrs in Washington, rognrdloss of tho Statos to- wnich thoy aro aooroditod. Within tho past fovr days most ovory employee in tho Government service at Washington has received a long lotter from W. E. Burdcll, treasurer of tho finanoo oommittco of tho Ohio Republican State exoou vivo committee, calling lor contributions to tho Kopubliean campaign fund in the Buckeyo Stato. Tho lottor goes on to stato that "A Domocratio victory in Ohio this fall would carry with it almost full control of the political luachinoryof tho Stato; thus onabling tho opposition to cntrouob itself for tho Presidential campaign of 1900. "A spocial sossion of the Legislature called by a Domoer/itio Governor would rcdistrict tho Stato for Congressional purposos under tho nj pwtionmcnt of 1900, thereby roducing the Kopubliean rorepsontation froui this Stato in tho lower houso of Coigrcss, and porhaps ondaDgering our majority in that body. Those facts, it seems to us, will forcibly appoal to every Kopubliean. "Wo hope you will be willing to contribute to tho logitimato expenses of tho State committco in its cllorts to maintain Republican supremacy." So earnest is the appeal that it is accompanied by printed oxtraotsfrom the Aot regulating the civil scrvico rclativo to tho collection of political assessments 1* 1 . i * irom employees in tno public sorvico. In addition Troasurer Burdoll states that to avoid any violation of the law on tho Bubjoct the oomniittco in charge of tho financial branch of tho campaign is made up of persons in no wiso oonncotod with tho Fod^ral service. Ho adds: ' In sending us a contribution you will in no way violate uny provision of tho civil sorvico law. Wo aro asking for voluntary contributions to assist in del raying tho proper and lawful oxponsos of the oampaign, and wo will bo responsible for tho proper distribution of any funds which may bo ontrustcd to us." As a final appoal Treasurer Burdoll says: ''On account of tho important bearing tho result in Ohi'j this year will liavo upon the grcalor contest of 1!K)0; and booauso of tho faot .the dofeat of his party in tho President's homo State would bo hcraldod by tho opposition as a rcbuko to his administration, wo hope you will aid us in this contest by Bonding us as liberal a con tribu'ion as you can afford." These oiroular lottors aro niarkod "confidential," and sent to the rosidont address of tho various employees. A woll known Ohio llcpublican who re ceived one of thoso lottcrs, confided to your corrcflpondont the information, which ho said ho had rocoivcd as coining from Sonator Uanna, to tho effect that '"Johnny MoLoan is putting up an unoxpoctedly strong fight in ail tho big oitios in tho State, and it will rcquiro ovory dollar tho Republican oommittec c?n raiso to soouro a Republican victoiy." Many of tho recipients of theso lettors a 'o torrori/.od by tho foar that thoy jvill loso thoir places if thoy fail to oontributo, although thoy do not understand why thoy should bo assessed to holp out in Ohio, when they have domands from othor States mado upon thorn at regular intervals. It is said that a "'black list" will bo mado up sho ving all who fail to respond to tho Hanna call for funds, and tho victims will be doalt with accordingly. Tho praotioo of soliciting oampaign contributions from Oovornmont cmployoes during a Presidential contest has nover been cntiroly abandoned, although the collectioas were mado in a <juiot, inoffonsivo way. It is, however, unusual and without proocdent to levy a general assessment for a campaign in a singlo State, and espcoially as that Stato happens to bo tho homo Stato of tho Presidont of tho United States.

Sovoral traius brought militiamen from tho Wost, tho South, and ovon faraway Toxas. The blue uniforms, tho slouch hats, and tho natty brown loggings woro familiar sights on Broadway. Tho boys aro enjoying thouisolvos immonsloy. Thoso Southornors who woro quartered noar tho Bowery found abundance of ontortainmcnt, and onjoyed it hilariously. In most eases tho places assigned to thesoldiers arc fairly couifortablo, but somo of tho South Carolina boys aud tho Maine Signal oorpswill find it oool sleeping if there is a change in tho woathor. Tho plaoo assigned to them is a road house at Ono Hundred and Tonth street and Lenox avenue, and thoy must sleep in tho long stables on straw audj'thcir own blankets. All othors aro well oared for. "Wc-uns aro all stuok on this place," said ono of tho South Carolina soldiors who aro quartorod at tho Manhattan lyooum, t>t> (?? fast fourth street.

IT IS ALL TRUE. Something About Admiral Philip that South Carolinians can Endorse. All the members of the South Carolina party who had tho plcasuro of mooting Admiral Philip and receiving his courtoous attentions at tho Breoklyn navy yard last wock will honrtily ondorso tho following from tho Richmond Dispatch: "It has leaked out that tho ai rival of Roar Admiral llowison in Sow York harbor, aftor tho programme for tho Dowoy naval parade had boon arranged, throatonod more unpleasant complications than was at iirst supposed, and that only tho 'taot and diplomacy' of Rear Admiral Philip, commandant of tho Brooklyn navy yard, provontcd things iromgotting into a 'sorry mess.' "In noticing tho faot, tho Now York Times says that tho public is indobted to Admiral Philip for tho roarrangomont and sottloinont of tho ordor of parado in such a man nor as to prcoluido all complaint and all justification for dissatisfaction on tho part of any oflicor conocrncd.
