A fire that is believed to have been in- cendiary partially destroyed the pbuilding at 1900 Hodtamont avenue Friday morning. The lives of three persons were imperiled. Mrs. L. Bone and her 6on and daughter, who occupy apartments in the building, were forced- to flee in their night clothes. The house is a handsome two-story buff Brick structure, only partly completed. The lower floor was designed for stores and the upper for flats. The fire started on the second floor. in the unoccupied apartments adjoining those into which the Bone family recently moved. The effect of the recent blizzard in crip- Pling the fire alarm service prevented an ala@m from being turned in in the regular way and firemen did not arrive on the scene until] three hours after the blaze had been discovered. Meanwhile the flames had been extinguished by neighbors who carried water in buckets from their homes. Two men are believed to have been in the building when the fire started. Whether they were injured and how they escaped are two of the mysteries which have not yet been solved. The rear window and door showed evidence that an entrance had been forced into the building. Footprints were found on the rear stairs, on the win- dow aill and on the floors. Stuart H. Bone discovered the fire.

To use M’KINLEY The reading of the message was greeted with Republican applause in the House and Mr. Cannon asked unanimous con- sent for the isnmediate passage of a bili to carry out the recommendation. There was no vbjection and it was agreed that there should be twenty, minutes debate on a side. Mr. Cannon moved the previous question on the Porto bill and this prevatied on a standing vote. 143 to 119. A yea and Rico ~~ wv ‘President M’Kinley’s Message to Congress Urging the Necessity of Expending Customs Collec- tions on the Island. The bill Is as follows: Be it enacted, ete., That the sum of $2,095,455, being the amount of customs reve- nue received on importations by the United States from Porto Rico since the evacu- ation of Porto Rico by the Spanish forces on Oct. 18, 1898 -to Jan. 1, 1900, together with any further customs revenue collected on importations from Porto Rico since Jan. 1, 180, or that shall hereafter be collected under existing law, ehall be placed at the disposal of the President, to be used for the government and benefit of Porto Rice until lected and to be collected under existing law, are hereby appropriated for the pur- poses herein specified out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. In the debate that preceded the passage of the bill, Mr. Cannon said there was no reason to make an extended argument in support of the measure. The brief message of the President, he said, covered all the points necessary to justify the passage of the bill. It appropriated all the money in the treasury collecied up to Jan. ll, and such money as shall be hereafter collected on imports from Porto Rico, for the benefit of the people of the isiand. Mr. Cannon explained that the sugar and tobacco piled up in Porto Rico controlled by the sugar and tobacco trusts was awaiting shipment to this country, would shipped to the United States, if this bill passed, and that every dollar of duty paid by these trusts would be devoted to the storm-swept and starving people. (Republi- be can appiause.) “You have been shedding crocodile tears over there,’’ he concluded. “‘Now come up and vote for this bill, every man.of you.” (Renewed applause.) Mr. Bailey (Texas), replying to Mr. Can- non, evoked a round of Democratic ap- plause by his first sentence. If he had known when the request for unanimous consent was submitted that the bdil juaced at the absolute disposal of - 00.00 now in the treasury definite sum hereafter to be collected, he said, he would hanse.f have taken the re- sponsibility of Gojecting. He would never consent, he’ said, to turn over to the dis- cretion of one man, money in the treasury of the (Tnited States, Mr. Bailey’s mation to commit the bill was lost—133 to 149.

PAARDBPBERG, March 2.—The latest re- ports announce that a large force of Roers is operating 10 miles away on the British right front. The mounted infantry to-day reconnottered, the Boers approaching from the south, and after drawing a shell fire returned. LONDON, March 2.—The dispatch from British army to the south is e6upposed to refer to Gen. De Wet’s force near Petras- burg. With no prospect of any exciting news coming in from Ladysmith in the near fu- ture, all eyes turn once more towards Field Marshal Lord Roberts and his advance into the Orange Free State. The critics of the afternoon newspapers are almost unani- mous in expecting the main stand of the Boers to occur at Winburg or in its vicin- ity. Before Lord Roberts’ advance on Bloem- fontein can, become effective the strong force of Boers already gathered southwest of Paardeberg must be dispersed. The Brit- ish lack remounts, and the necessity of a thorough transport organization may de- lay a decisive action in this quarter for several days, and, perhaps, weeks. Mafe- king alone_now awaits a relief, and a foree to accomplish this is probably already on its way. In Northern Cape Colony the British cam- paign progresses well. The whole line of the Orange River should shortly be in their posrfession. It is suggested that Gen. Wihite’s garrison may be sent to sea to recuperate, but thiS scarcely seems prob- ble. A special] correspondent telegraphing from Paardeberg, Feb. 27, says: “A curious piece of news has just been related to me by Gen. Cronje’s aide de camp. It appears that Cronje was in aily heliographic communication with Gen. De Wet, whom he supposed was bring- up reinforcements. Yesterday Cronje heliographed .that unless he was relieyed ‘Immediately he would-feel bound to gsur- can now hope for little from Strategy. hts interior lines he is not strong enough, force, omnibus conductors were shouting in ohijd- principal streets loaded with students pavements until the streets partook of the aepect of bedlam. | elty Was at an end. Many stores closed Altogether, Others were d render. “Gen. De Wet replied with'a cheering message urging him to hold on longer and that he would soon be relieved, but totally fai.ed to affect any diversion.’”’ Joubert’s army is supposed to have taken up a new line of defense north of Lady- smith, probably in the Drakensberg passes. It is said that Gen. Joubert is ill and that Shalkburger is now in chief command. A dispaich from Gen. Buller was recelved at tho War Oftice this morning, annoufce- ing that seventy-three wagon loads of sup- plies are now entering Ladysmith, the first eleven wagons contairfing hospital com- forts. Military Expert Wilkinson says: ‘““No doubt the chapter of British reverses is now closed. He would be a bold straie- gist who could now offer to the Boer lead- ers a plan of campaign promising ultimate success. “Lord Roberts will soon have a force of 60,000 men.

Meantime, he may gather his forces in the Free State for re- sistance to Lord Roberts. “The statement that a force of Boers un- der Commandant Dutoit has crossed the Vaal River at Fourteen Streams, 40 miles north of Kimberley, accounts, perhaps, for a portion of Gen. Cronje’s army and por- tends further trouble for Mafeking.”’ i » ll A JOY THAT WAS INSANE London’s Rejoicing an Unhealthy Re- action From a Long State of Despondency. to strike Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch.

SECOND PHASE OF THE WAR. The capture of Cronje and the retreat of Joubert from Ladysmith wholly changes the lines of Boer defense. Joubert can follow the railways shown on the map, running to Laing'’s Nek. on the Trans vaal border, and to Bethlehem in the Free State. The Boers are expected to make their first im- portant stand at Winburg (shown on the map), north of Bloemfontein. At Winburg begins the mountainous part of the Northern Free State. It is possible that the Boers will abandon Bloem- fontein and the railway line through Harrism!th and Bethlehem. Dispatches show that the Boers are quitting Cape Colony. ~ Jamestown, north of Dordrecht, having been taken by troops under command of the former, and Rensburg reoccupied by the. latter. Whether any attempt will be made to defend the passages of the Orange River will deperd on how matters may go near Bloem- fontein, bv* the probability is that the bulk of the Boer forces in the south of the Free State have already gone north. It is not in the probabill- ties of the situation that any effort will be made to defend Bloemfontein, the locality and sur- roundings not affording positions which could be turned to much account, and strategic reasons call for a different ifme of action on account of the position of Natal. The Boers must, Gen. Schofield and other military men say, make their strongest defense along the River Vaal, the southern boundary of the Trans- vaal, though they may dispute every foot of the > er rs a. OE Os ~~ British advance. A force of Boers is now about Petrusberg (shown on the map south of Paarde- berg). under Gen. De Wet. Before Roberts begins to spread out his troops so as to cover the great area of country ektending east from Magersfontein to the Natal borders, across the Free State, the Boers now operating in the Orange River district of the Cape Colony will have abandoned further resistance to the Britis: in that quarter. When this is accomplished Roberts will bave con- trol of the railway which runs to Bloemfontein, This would give him an advantage of great strateg~ ica) importance, as he would control for the purpose of transportation of stores and troops three district lines of railway from sea coast towns. The main line frem Cape Town to Kimberley and thence to Mafeking would command the west- ern borders of the Free State and Transvaal, while the line running south pf Bloemfontein to Ea London and Port: Elizabeth would enable him te maintain a strict defense of the territory north of the Orange River. As Pretoria is the British objective, it is probae ble that Lord Roberts, while pushing columas of troops up to Laing’s Nek and in front of the Boers in their positions along the Vaal, will use the route from Kimberley to Mafeking for a flank movement, just as he maneuvered at Magersfontejn. Mafeking is the back ,door to Pretoria and the Tranevaal just as Magerutentale proved to be the gateway ate. > to the Free St — ee — GAI , ” bf 7 dl - bl = _—— a GIANT A Great Brittain now has in South Af- rica 189,400 men, 37,800 of whom are mounted men, with which to destroy and capture a maximum force of 59,- 000 men defending the Transvaal, Un- 26,000 been the colo- and der authority from London mounted men have thus far raised in South Africa, and nies have furnished 4698 mounted 2375 unmounted men. There are today a total of 410 Brit- ish guns in or en route to South Af- rica. Of this number 3% are siege train guns and 38 naval guns, a total df 74 heavy guns of position; 36 are 5-inch howtltzers, which are moved with the troops and throw a very heavy shell, carrying 3 pounds of lyddite; 4 guns belong to the horse artillery and 234 guns to the fleld artillery, * making, caunting the howitzers, 324 guns which eccompany the troops in the field. In addition there are two mountain bat- teries of six guns each with the Brit- ish foree. The British intelligence department estimates that in the Transvaal are Hable to military service 31,579 men; in the Orange Free State 2,000, a total of 51,579. The number of men likely to join the Boers from the colonies is placed at 4000, and the estimated num- ber of foreigners likely ta come into the country and join the Transvaal force 4000, a total of 69,000 in round numbers.

As the Trans- vaal has no reserve upon which to draw, military men say this is the maximum force with which it can re- sist the Briitsh invasion. The Boers have 110 guns to respond to the fire of the 410 British weapons. Of this number 16 are 16-centimeter Creusot weapons; 21 are 37-millimeter automatic guns; % are 76-millimeter guns, and 4 are howitzers of 47-inoh caliber. Besides these weapons the Transvaal forces have 18 old gune of various descriptions, and since the commencement of the war they have captured 19 British weapons. They have lost about 5000 men, taken prison- ers, and six guns. ; Yesterday the British War Office an- nounced that, In addition to the troops now in South Africa, ‘i’n the week ending March 3 elght ships will leave England, carrying 4700 men.

There were still 76,000 republicans in the fleid., The surrender, he said, waa traceable to a blunder committed by je in locking up his men in a hole instead of occupying kopjes. He declared there were only 4000 Boers in the trenches of Magersfontein, where the British met such severe reverses. Commandant Wolmarane gives a different directly (*ron- story. According to his evidence there were | | successful relief 6000 men at Magersfontein, his own com- mando, he says, alone consisting of over 2000. He considers it hopeless to continue fighting in the present circumstances, At the surrender there were numbers of weeping Boer women, many of them car- rying babies in arms. They were in a piti- and appeared much emacieied The first woman met was Mrs. Cronje. ‘She was seated in a buggy with her son, and with tears in her eyes asked news of her huéeband.

LOUIS MYSONHEIMER SUES FOR DIVORCE. oe ee + “BOY EVANGELIST” GONE WEST. | Wearied of thé Bakery Business and Recently Returned to His Former Work as Evangelist. The divorce suit of Birdie A. Mysonheimer against Louis Mysonheimer was heard in Judge Talty’s court Friday. It was taken under advisement. The plaintiff charged the defendant with desertion and several indignities. She claimed hefid not provide properly for her, Called her harsh names and accused her wronguflly of improper cormduct. The defendant is a Methodist evangelist, and created a great furore through tle interior of Missouri 15 years ago by his unique method of conducting meetings. He was known then as the “Boy Evangel- ist’’ and wag in great demand. here was hard@ly a town in the central part of the States in which he did mot pitch his tent and hold a long series of meetings. His services were ways attended with eat success and it was no novel experience for him to have 200 or 300 converts. But the demand for him weakened in a few years. As soon a5 he found that his walrity was waning he came to Bt. faete and opened a baker's shop. He had worked at that trade before starting on his evangédlizing career and was able to make a success of it upon his return to the kneading board. He had married in this city while he was still preaching and his wife’s large cirole of relativbes helped to up a business for him. According to the testimony offered Fri- day he decided in 1897 that the bakery business was “too much like work” and informed his father-in-law that he would go back to preaching because he could make money easier. Mrs. Mysonheimer said he left the city upon making that declaration, supplementing his action with a statement that he never expected to return to her. She said he was somewhere in the West at the time she filed her suit for divorce and was making $150 a month out of his vocation.

He said if the weather continuel moderate, the ice would melt and fall from the wires, relieving them of the atrain which has been a continual cause of break- age. The city has @ men at work on the wires, and it is getting in fairly good shape.

But both Agent Griffin of the Wabash and Agent Morton of the Missourl Pacific found con- Thursday on her long journey. | solation in the assurance that’ their tracks were cleared at last. Both declared that ail trains would be on time by Friday even- ing, and that they would have no further trouble. Several other lines breught traine in from ® minutes to an hour late, but that is regarded as insignificant now, and the belief is general that the effects of tne storm wiil not be felt Friday night. Trairs on more than half the roads entered St. Couls on schedule time Friday morning. 4000 Telephones Crippled. OLVELAND,-O.. March 2.—While there was a marked improvement in the rail- toad service west of this city to-day, trains from the east continued to arrive at the Union Station from two to seven hours late. It was stated that whe the heavy enow storm east of Cleveland contr’buted very largely to the delay, the greatest trouble was caused by the lack of tele- aphic facilities for moving trains. It 8 expected that the wires will all be re paired by nightfall. All local street car lines resumed opera- tions to-day with the exception of the Broadway and Scranton avenue roads. which were still tied up as a result of the heavy sleet storm. ; The Cleveland Telephone Co. report that over 4000 of their telephones are out of #ervice, with thousands of miles of wire and hundreds of poles prostratted.

I am going to James Lockhart, Stroud, Okla., via West Shore, Wabash and Frisco.” On the back was written: “‘Wil the conductors and trave!- ing public please show kind atttention.”’ This request, reflecting the solitude of the father, was unnecessary. There was no keeping It secret that the little one was traveling alone and before the train was out of the station everybody intthe sleeper was gathered around her and she was veing smothered with attentions. Never was a 3-year-old girl baby preitier or plumper and added to that she was motherless and she was go'ng 1500 miles away from her father and she was go- ing alone. That was enough to bring tears of sympathy to the eyes of all the women an impulse to adopt the child on the spot. [It was fitting that such a mite of a traveler should not be burdened with bag- gage and her belongings were wrapped in two little bundles which the father gave to Conductor E. J. O’Donnell as he handed his child to him after a farewell which was tearful on his part and clinging on hers. Her ticket called for lower No. 6 and When night came on, as soon as the pass- engcrs would consent to be separated frora her, she was put to slecp in that berth, all the ladies on the car assisting in the important transaction of removing her warm clothes and putting her in a night- gown which was found in one of the bun- dles, ' The next dav, and all a'ong the journey, all the passengers vied with each other to see who should pay the most attention to | the tiny traveler, At Kingston, N.

The statement showed iife following footings: Establishing and purchasing newspapers. .$19,550 Expenses in the present investigation and in the Wellcome disbarment proceedings. . 21,704 Mr. Campbell said that the $19,500 had been expended on the three papers, ihe Living- stone Enterprise, the Bozeman Chronicle and the Carbon County Democrat, which had been purchased or established to op- pose what they believed were corrupt prac- tices in politics. ‘ The money in these cases had oniy been loaned. The other expenditures included all money spent to date on account of wit- nesses, attorneys and detectives in the pros- ecution of the case. Ti did not. however, include counsel] fees in the pending investl- gaiion. Mr. Campbell did not know what these charges would be. All the Money thus expended had been received frbm Mr. Daly. a State Senator Henry lL. Myers’ was re- called ang questioned concerning Ben Hill's statemedts. He said that Hill's statement in his affidavit concerning himself was cor- rect, while Hill’s statement before the committee relating to him was in the main incorrect. It was true, he said, that Hill nad frequently come to him during the ses- sion of the Legislature, teliing him that he came from Senator Clark; that Clark wanted him to come to his room and that he (Hill) could get him $25,000 for: his vote. He had told Hill that he thought $10,490 was enough for his’ vote and that if Clark wanted to pay that sum for it he could put the money in Mr. Whitesides’ hands. Mr. Myers was also asked if it was true, as (harley Clark had stated in his testi- mony, that he (Myers) had told him (Clark) that he appreciated that the $500 check sent to him by Clark was merely a business matter. “That statement.’ he said, “is absolutely false. If the check had. been received as a mere business matter I should certainly have acknowledged its rece'pt as I do in all business matters. When I received the check I regarded it as a bait to a bribe and I ignored it#@as it wes proper I should.”’ James W. Kemper, a real estate dealer of Butte, was examined with reference to the indebtedness on the ranch of Rep- resentative E. B. Woods of Ravelli County, which indebtedness had been paid off, the purchase’ price being $6900. Documentary evidence was also produced by the prosecu- tion to show that about the same time a chattel mortgage given by Woods for $1000 had been paid and released. Miles Finlen, a member of the Legisla- ture from Silver Bow County, and a friend of Daly, said that he had not furnished any of the $30,000 used by Whiteside in his ex- posure, ‘I don’t give up money so easily,’”’ he sald. 3efore taking the noon recess, the at- torneys on both sides expressed the opinion that it would be possible to conclude the presentation of testimomy to-day or to- morrow. Mr. Faulkner said he would offer very little testimony in surrebuttal. BUDD OF BUNKER HILL OUT Gave Up His Contract ror Lighting the Business District of St. Louis. H. R.

His attorney, John A, Gilliam, addressed the following letter to President McdMath Friday morning: Hon. R. E. MecMath, Presiljent Board of Public Improvements, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Mir: Under date of Feb. 27 I received a communication from the secretary of the Board of Public Improvements, informing me fhat the re- quest of Mr. H. R.

The estimated cost of this lighting will be increased to $143,000, thus in- creasing the deposits of bidders to nearly Suv, if the bis are excessive and show a combination between the bidders, it is not unlikely they will all be rejected and the board will ask the Assembly to pass an ‘or- dinance allowing the lighting to be done with mantle lamps, instead of electricity.

But they say they are ready (to take any reasonable steps to prevent the city being held up by a com- bination of electric lighting interests. ee GLIMPSES OF A GAME FIGHTER. Senator Stewart Tells of Jack Wat- son’s Freedom With a Pistol. “The gamest man and the best fighter that I ever knew—and I’ve known quite a number in my day—was little Jack Wat- son of California,’’ remarked Senator Wil- liam M. Stewart of Nevada to a party of interested listeners, “Watson had been a member of Jack Hayes’ famous company, and though he didn’t weigh over 120 pounds and in height measured but 5 feet 6 inches, he would fight at the drop of a hat the biggest man that ever breathed. I don’t know what State ave him birth, but he wae a native of the outh, and all the ploneers of Texas knew him well. The little chap didn’t provoke difficulties, but I verily believe he enjoyed fighting for its "own sake, and odds didn't figure with him once he concluded to go into a melee. His long suit was shooting, and a deadlier shot never fingered a re- volver. “I shall never forget the first time that Jack Watson and I met, for the circum- stances were of the sort that burns iteelf upon a man’s memory. I was riding into a mining camp in Nevada, County, and stopped at a watering trough to tet my beast drink. About the same time a stranger of very diminutive stature rode up, and while our animals refreshed themselves we engaged in some casual conversation. The etranger was Watson. Before we ex- changed half a dozen sentences our atten- tion was attracted by a great noise, and looking around we saw at least 30 men coming our way with a prisoner. The pris- oner was a remarkably fine-looking man, but his captors had stripped him to the waist, and the evident intention was to og m. “Before I could hardly realize what w happening.

But my cry caused a halt, and with Watson be- side me, I repeated that they had the wrong man, and still using my highest notes called for the appointment of a committee. It is curious how easily a mob ifs sometimes swayed. In less than 10 minutes this-one, previously so impassioned, had caimed down and was listening quietly to the in- vestigations of the cqammittee, of which I had been made chairfman. It seems that ths prisoner, was, as I apprehended, a re- spectable and worthy man, and he had let- ters upon him that vouched for his integ- rity. He had been accused of stealing $200 in gold by a miner, but we not only estab- lished his innocence, but started an exam- spetsen that led to the discovery of the real thief. “After this I saw Jack no more tiil one day in San Francisco, when I found him in a most wretched condition. He had gone to a political meet.ng where he was per- sona non grata and there was immediate trouble. Jack killed two men, but was himself almost riddled with bullets. An old negro took me to him, and I found him in an apparently dying condition. If he had one bullet hole in him he had twenty. He had no doctor, no nurse, no food, no friend, but the old darky. I got him a room in a good hotel and the best physi- cian money could hire. The doctor thought he had a bare chance to live, but was very dubious of his pulling through. His nerve saved him, and in a few ‘weeks he was going around as game as ever. “The next news of Jack came from Pasa- dena. He had gone to a-Dall, and, aspir- ing to the favor of the belle of the town, roused the enmity of a dozen young gal- lants. The shooting began while the func- tion was still in progress, but it was a bad day for Jack Watson’s assailants, for when the firing ceased there were five of them corpses. while he escaped unhurt. Jack finally became a member of the Lagisiature, and, strange to say, died a peaceful death, respected and loved by all his neighbors.”’ FUN FOR PIANIST PADEREWSKI. His Valet Has an Adventure Which Pleases the Musician Immensely. Paderewski left Chicagé after his recent: visit in a splendid humor. The day before he left town the quiet of the parlor ffoor of the Auditorium Ho- tel, where he stopped, was broken by loud and prolonged laughter issulng from the Paderewski suite. JVeople waiting in the parlors to nen gynes. the musician, wondered at his hiiarity, but oniy a favored few knew tbe cause. It was at the ex- pense of Baron Seliger, Paderswski's valet, that the musician laughed. Manager Gorlitz was telling him of Baron Seliger's yistts to Heinegabubeler’s saloon. Baron Seliger claims to be a real German baron of antique family and shattered fortune For seven years he has tied neckties and polished st.oes for Paderewsk! (lose association with the musician has not Increased his share of worldly knowledge. and he fell an easy victim to the wiles of Heinegabubeler. ~ James Fisher, who tunes the Paderewski piano before each concert; I. Goldberg, who sells the ederewaki books, and Charlie Fine, the ticket broker at the Auditorium, were the trio who intro- duced the decayed baron to the beauties of Heine- gabubeler's. The baron was delighted with. the lace. . He ‘“‘bit’’ at everything, from the cubes of cheese In the free lunch, which proved to be strong laun- dry soap, to the box of cigar snipes which Helne- gaibubeler passed around with the assurance that they bad been smoked by some of the best peopie in CGhieago. He sat contiingly on top of the beer keg until the oozing water had soaked through the seat of his trousers, and wondered at his stupid- ity in not seeing that the top of the kez was wet. Pieased with what be saw downstalrs he went up the long flight to the second or, The first thing that caught bis eye at the top of the-staira was a dilapidated piano. bearing the sign, ‘‘The first piano Paderewsk! ever played on.’ ‘C) Mr. Feesher,’’ the Baron called out, ‘‘here is the first plano Paderewski ever played on. Come up and tune it, and I vill play you a vaitz."’ Then the Baron started down the steirs to bring up Mr. Fisher. The bartender was ready, and threw the lever which causes the stairs to fatten out into an inclined plane. The baronial dignity Was upset; the Baron shot downward feet fore- mort, ahd did not stop until he landed with ae bamp against the door. Then he had to treat. On his way back to the hotel a bright llea struck the Baron. ‘TT vill catch Meester Vrankiin, the treasurer,’’ he sald. ‘‘He is in Nieu Yorick. He will be back to-morrow.

She calls them pants. They are Novelists of the old school called them unmentionables, but we have passed that stage. The actress refused to pay for these garments because the geams were insidejand irritated her. She got other trousers made with the seams outside, and is now entirely satisfied. This is a pointer worth having. Forecasters of the society of the future have generally agreed that woman’s dress will in time closely resemble the clothing worn by men. But it peems there is one point Where the sexes will differ. Male bipeds will be known from female bipeds of the human race by the seams in lower garments. Outside seams will afford many pretty and harmless oppor- tunities for display by the women of the coming centuries. Just as the trappers and hunters used to sport rows of leather tags along the seams of their trousers, so our young women may come to exhibit themselves in trougers with little bells, jewels or what not strung adowWwn the seams. The common sense dress crusade for women appears to have died a natural death. But the female trouser wearer is not yet dead. Perhaps the suggestion of outside seams may cause her to become common in the twentieth century. _& &> a> rw of The poor Porto Ricans have been supposing all the time that it was frec trade that followed the flag. i a, a a PUBLICITY. OF MONOPOLY ACCOUNTS. The recommendations of the Industrial Commission which has just submitted a preliminary report to, Congress are. sin- wularly far-reaching and radical. Taking the giound that all monopolies are affected with a public interest,the commission recommends that this interest be protected by the’ most searching scrutiny of al) trusts. ivery fact of organization and operation of these monopolies should be laid bare. Publicity, in short, is the condition pre- cedent to an intelligent control of the trust, It is idle to say that the Government should not inquire into private business. The public is the most interested party in a monopoly and is entitled to just as much protec- tion as the private stockholder. When a corporation or com- bination of corporations controls the production and distribu- tion of the necessaries of life it cannot claim immunity on the ecore of privacy. _ Lp hn i Gen. Schofield tells the Post-Dispatch that, so far as can now be foreseen, the Boers, after many hard-fought battles, should be able to make a final and prolonged struggle for Victory on the line of the Vaal River. Every civilized people on earth, and a great many civilized Britons themselves, are boping that the victory will be won. > > i A ENGLISH AS SHE IS’IN MAGAZINES. There is a story called “The Touchstone” to be found in a current “high-vlaes" magazine. = We should like to tell the readers of the Post-Dispatch what it ts all about, Dut we give it up. Here is an extract: de of Geoffrey Chaucer, save us! Here’s another: ‘#8 feeling for her had become so vital a part of him that ENS bed the quality of imperceptibility, readjusting nts point of view, so that the jumbled phenomena of experi- ence fell at once into rational perspective.” : Is that editor's “well of English undefiled” dried up that he admits such stuff? How much good English went into the. waste-basket or was returned with thanks when this ; surprising production was accepted and paid for? ———& OS ~~ The railroads have just reason to be pleased with the show- ing for 1899, which has been the most prosperous year in their history. Nearly 5000 miles were built during that year. Gross earnings were $122.624,103 over those for 1898. Net earnings exceeded those of 1898 by $49,183,346. This remarkable increase was not wholly due to the war, but must be largely attributed to a corresponding increase in general activity. There is no reason to foar that the conditions will not continue during the curfent year. — ¢+ee * A WORD TO UNHAPPY WOMEN—AND MEN An unhappy women signing herself “Anxious,’’ whose letter was published in the Post-Dispatch a few days ago, is one of the many who have the same problem to solve—the reform of a drunken husband. Some readers may think that It is carrying coals to Newcas- tle to advise forbearance and self-forgetfulness in such cases, since women have always had ‘their full share of those virtues. But still drunken husbands torment them and refuse to be reclaimed. Nevertheless that is the path to follow. And if pursued intelligently and with patience it will lead to the crown of happiness. No man is so degraded that he cannot be unlift- ed, nor strays so far from the way of right-doing that he cannot be reclaimed. Life is given that it may be Iest. In so far as the woman loses her own life in that of her husband, and the husband in that of his wife, just so far is marriage a success. When either fails to do this the responsibility is not lifted from the other. The life which is cast upon the waters of love comes bac« enriched and glorified, to bless and prosper the giver. , | But this must be done with forethought. The sentimental intelligence is yoid and empty. Heart and head must work to- gether if one would obtain the best results.. The life must be given freely, but it must also be given wisely. . Women are specially gifted with the intelligence needed for use in such cases. Reproaches go for nothing, argument for very. little. The art of fentle management will, with a little practice, be sufficient. The result is sure. But remem- ber, it must not be practiced as a duty, which is a burden, but for love’s sake. That yoke is easy, its service is perfect freedom -and its reward is the life of happiness and content. = — |S] Iiave our loyal Porto Ricans become insurgents and briz- ands? They actually petition that the military be withdrawn; that Porto Rico be declared an integral part of the United States, and that unrestricted free commerce be established between the United States and the island. ‘Is not this virtual- ly asking that the flag shall be hauled down? Gen. Cronje has been dubbed “the Lion of South Africa.”’ The old hero has certainly earned the title of “lion,’’ but it is hardly fair to call him “the lion” when ‘there are so many other lions. South Africa seems ® grow human lions—and not the least of them is a little old man with galways, who lives tn Pretoria. —- SS —_ ——— The lower house of the Iowa Legislature has rejected a bill prohibiting the bribery of legislators, judges and other State officials with free passes on railroads. Does the Iowa Legislator suppose that anybody in Iowa or anywhere else believes that a railroad issues a pass to him as an honor and not as a bribe’? The bubonic plague seems likely to reach the Mexican sol- diers who are iighting the Maya Indians, and it may be con- templating a tour of the United States. As it is supposed to be caused or aggravated by filth, our cities should begin to consider the importance of thorough sanitary work for the summer. -_——__-—_- —_-_- O4 Cuckoo newspapers are pointing to the fact that the Cronje surrender, by affecting prices in London, advanced the Ameri- can stock market. We should therefore aid Great Britain in crushing the Dutch republics. This is quite as “‘base and sordid” .as anything in Bub Beveridge’s recent colonial speech. >>> 2 rere, The Republicans and the railroad lobby in the Kentucky Legislature worked hard to prevent the offering of a reward for the assassin of Goebel. Republicans and rallroad lob- bies in Kentucky go in for economy when partisan crimes are to be investigated. —_ = i i ae Free trade muy be the good that is to come out of War ex- pansion, but even that would not compensate for the evil of the war policy.

The Consti- tution is effectually knocked out, and we are likely soon to be ready for any scheme for skinning our faithful and loyal Porto Ricans. 6+.

HIS ONE REQUEST. “Up with your hands!” “All right, old man, but can’t I take a snap shot of you first’’ CHILDREN ARE NOT GIVEN FOR PLAYTHINGS. “Mothers must remember that their ba- bies are not given them for their own pleasure or amusement, nor to display as marvels to thelr friends,’’ warns Barnetta Brown, writing of ‘“‘“Mothers’ Mistakes and Fathers’ Failures,”’ in the January Ladies’ Home Journel. “But mothers must con- sider that from the first moment of life the child is destined toward growth, de- velopment, progression. A dallying with this bit of wisdom in ‘the beginning makes rare occasions for much that is disagree- able later. And let no mother make the error of belmg baffled by the cry of ‘hered- ity.” Much of what is called heredity is really imitation of what Is to oeleeen and felt in the environment; and the most ob- jectionatme human heredity can be over- come. The inheritance of ‘the divine spark which is ever ready to fly upward must never be forgotten.’ CROSSED IN LOVE. “Were you ever crossed in love?’’ “Yes, once. There was a beautiful girl whose father was rich and she loved me.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I would like to give you a few words of encouragement to the lady signing herself “Anxious.” One cannot give any advice in such a case as there are no two men alike, but here is my experience: For 15 years I went through all the treat- ment that Anxious speaks of. I was almost driven to suicide. I tried every means in my power to cure him. I wept until I near- | ly ruined my eyesight; I prayed as only 4 loving wife can pray. At last I made up my mind semething must be done at once. I could not think of divorce—that would kill me, if he did not. So I decided to. break up my home. A change might cure him. He agreed with me. He would go away somewhere; get away from his whisky friends, and I went to live with my mother. That was five years ago. He has done well and is doing well;. has no desire to drink, and we are in hopes never will. If I had done as some women have done, he would now be in a drunkard’s grave. He says everybody went back on him but me. I did what I thought was right, and I} feel that what I did has saved him.

For the President to be favoring a free-trade bill while the House leaders go ahead and push through a protective tariff one is much more anomalous than for Congress, under Tom Reed, to be unwilling to back up the President in his policy. For the sup- posititious leaders are reputed friends and mouthpieces of Mr. McKiniey. ‘The rules committee, which has done the whole business, is Grosvenor, Dalzell, and the speaker. And if anything were needed to explode that popular fallacy about Gen. Grosvenor being ,close to the councils of the President, this ohe incident should do It. The fact of the matter is, Grosvenor has fostered this popular fallacy Sy assumin the role on ah conspicuous occasions, unt! it has become his principal stock in trade. Truth compels the statement that he is not favored with the confidence of William Mc- Kinley as much as half a dozen newspaper men who could be named. Dailzell, too, be- longs to the category of éntertaining taikers rather than to those “wise in counsel.” McKinley is too shrewd a man to take counse! withta man who tajks as much as does Dalzell. As: for Henderson, he is a delightful old veteran, who is not a leader. Just a nice old man. A Pensioner That ‘Pleased Uncle Jasper. Some of the younger Southern Democrats are having fun with “Uncle Jasper’ Tal- bert of South Carolina because he insists that there shall be a quorum present if pension bills yg at the Friday night ses- sions. The other night Mr. Sulloway called up a bill to pension a Wisconsin artille man. Mr. Talbert wanted the bepers , and Representative Minor of Jisconsin promised to make explanations, which he thought would suffice. “(This is a case of a soldier 6 years old and totally blind,’ began ‘Mr. Minor, in a pathetic volce. “ "That is a sufficient statement,’ replied’ Mr. Talbert with a gracious bow. “ ‘Fe has not a dollar in the world, and scarcely a relative on earth,’ continued the Wisconsin me er. “Very good, very good,’ interposed Mr. Talbert, impatiently. “ ‘He is jed through the town in which he resides by a little granddaughter 6 years of age.’ “‘T am entirely satisfied; entirely satis- Latest “The light is forever shut out from him,’ said Mr. Minor, waxing eloquent. “‘'That is a very sad case,’ alawered ‘Mr. Talbert, visibly affected at the portrayal of the soldier's misfortune.”’ At that point Mr. Griggs of Georgia leaned over his desk and said: ‘‘Uncle Jas- per, you have faund a Tnion soldier proper- ly trimmed at last, haven’t you?’ “Oh, go away, boy, I haven't time to Gossip WASHINGTON SMALL TALK. +91):}3 33933993 93:3 SESE CE€EE EGEE COee of Persons and ation’s Capital.

Coming of Warm Weather Calls At- tention to the Necessity for En- forcing the Contracts. Citizens are complaining that the garbage contractor is not fuii.ling his contra ct, which requires that he make dally ‘col.ec- tions of garbage im ail parts of the city. In some parts of the olty a garbage wagon has not been seen for months. In other parts the collections are not made oftener than once a week. In the winter the non- collection of garbage is not the cause of much nupisance to citizens, but the ap- proach of spring and warm weather re- minds the pwhlic that uncollected garbage will be a great annoyance as well as a dan- ger to health. The city is In a peuwliar situation in re- gard to the garbage question. It has a contract with a company of which Col, Edward Butler ts the ‘thead and front, by which the contractor is required for a handsome consideration to collect the garbage of the entire city. That this contract has mot been faith- fully performed thousands of citizens know. The city also hes a contract with the reduction works by which it agrees to de- liver to the works daily, the entire city. The performance of this contract by the city depends upon the per- formance by the collecting contractor of his contract.

Sometime ago the gurbage contractor filed a claim for extra compensation on the | ground that there was only one reduction m ontis and ft have which these ;competitors and works, while the contract called for two, and his expense was greatly increased by the necessity of hauling the garbage from all over the city to the works in South S8t. Louis. The claim was allowed, notwith- standing it was wel! known that the col- lections were not being made in acoord- ance with the contract. The eswbject reached City ‘Counselor Schnurmatcher, and he rendered an opinion that the contractor’s claim was valid and must be allowed, but that the city could rotect ttself by deducting from his regu- ‘ar compensation the value of the unful- filled part of his contract. The contractor immediately refunded the amount he had collected as extra compensation, thus leav- ing the city defenselese against any claim that the reduvtion company may set up as a result of failure to deliver dally the gar- aa from the entire city. he Comptroller was at one time notified by President McMath of the embarrass- ment that would come to the eity if the re- duction company should choose to file a claim, but no attention was paid to the warni: 7s The Charter makes it the duty of the Mayor to see that all contracts with the city are falthfully performed, and makes it the duty of every city official to whom knowledge may come that a contract is being violated, to notify the Mayor. Prior to July, 1298, there was a tripartite agreement between the city, the garbage collector and the reduction company that the terme of the contract in regard to daily collections should not be rigidly enforced. This agreement was ended on July 14, 1898, and there is an opinion in existence, writ- ten by the then City Counselor, W. C. Mar- shall, that thenceforth the contracts should be in full effect and binding upon all parties eoncerned. ANOTHER FINE JEWELRY STORE _— -—_———_ -——__ Opening of A. Kurtzeborn & Sons’ New House on Sixth Street. St. Louis has another fine jewelry store to be proud of. It is that of A. Kurtze- born & Sons, in the Carleton Building, 310 North Sixth street, just north of the Sixth street entrance to the building.

It has now come time, they think, to start in again for themselves, and they have se- lected what -they belleve to be an ideal place, and have put in a stock that they consider one of the mast select possible to gather together. They will aim especially to please persons of discriminating taste and refined likes, and wil! sacrifice evervy- thing to satisfy their customers. Most of their stock is imported, and it is a strik- ing one. Many fine bronzes are in it, with some exceptiona!] exampies of silverware. The formal opening of this new store was quite an event in trade eircies Thursday, and many fine floral remembrances were re- ceived by thefirm.

Contractor Remmers Has a Pretty Ac- count to Settle, for the Horse Was Killed. When BPugene Remmers of 349 Sheridan avenue took pretty Eva Wolf of 1220 Hick- ory street out sleighing Thursday night he "did not expect there would be any slaying also, before he returned. And, though he knew the livery hire for the horse and cut- ter would be rather high, he did not quite expect to have to pay for the rig outright as well. But both contingencies developed, and be- sides, he is suffering from chagrin, in that bis accompanving friend was spilled into t was once beautiful snow, but is now ‘ ~ AWERER~— ~ ers thought they were undertaking. In the vicinity of the water tower on Fast Grand avensie are over 150 persons engaged in! reputab‘e, recognized business, Tirese mer- chants thave all the thrift. enterprise and energy at their downtown brethren in trade pat and it was ta protect the re- sults of th@ir sagacity that P. A. Weber and W. H. Uhlemeyer met form some agreement to prevent constant smail out- lays for profitless advertising and losses from irresponsible creditors. The idea was popular and in November last the association was formed to harmoan- ize trade relations between mercbants and other buainess classes, and to promote friendship and sociability among lis mem- bers. P. A. Weber was elected presideht; Henry Zelsmann, vice-president; W. H. Uhlemey- er, secretary; S. Schwarz, treasurer; Wil- __jiam Hilkerbaumer, attorney. Any person being the proprietor of any mercaniile shop was admitted to member- ship, with the resuit thai the organization grew beyond a temporary affair to one of the strongest business associations in the city. The members now propose to use ev- ery endeavor to advances the section around the water tower. They will fight for needed legislation, will oppose hurtful measures. will battle for clean and well-paved streeis and urge every proposition that appeals to them as beneficial. Then they will protect themselves in finding the wheat and dis- carding the chaff in the credit threshing and advance neighborly sociability. The association has grown too big for rules and regulations; it must needs have a constitution and by-laws and the officers and the commitiee believe they have a madel of each, which will be presented to the members Sunday afternoon.

KRemmers Is a contractor, working at pres- ent in the West End somewrDere. The snow- fall of the .ast few days filled him with a desire for a spin behind a fast horse—tc “cu ice,’’ in fact, and he proceeded to do so Thursday night, hiring a cutter from Peter Masbderson's livery stable, 815 South Fourteenth street, for the purpose. When he had hitched up, and tried the anima! dawn the street a wavs, he saw so many his way that there ‘“*kill ’em dead.’’ So after Miss Woif he went. ‘*‘Would Miss Wolf go forth to sleigh? Of t was just what she wanted to do, and had been longing to do, all these days.”’ “And could the little ones go ta? Of course they could, why ask?”’ So into the cutter bundled little Davie and Frank Caldwell. who live in the same house with Miss Wolf. and also into the cutter bundled Miss Wolf. And the proud Mr. Remmers gave the horse the word and away the party went, in fine fettie. The @rive took them out Morrison avenue. In front of 1211 was a mortar bed, left by carcless contractors, and half buried in the snow. Remmers, who found his two eyes all too few for the girl at his side, let alone the horse, did not see the mor- tar bed. And as pride goeth before a fall. so sn this case did a mortar bed go before a spill. The horse saw the mortar bed, and shied at it. He swerved sharply to one side, aml over went the @utter. Out ‘nto the snow, slush and mortar bed went fair Miss Wolf. and the Htt'e ones, and Mr. Remmers as well. It was a beautiful up- set, to tempers as well! as to persons, and it was some seconds before the screaming ehi'dren, the ruffied Miss Wolf and the sheepish but angry Mr. Remmers could extricate themselves. Meanwhile the steed, smarting under the treatment he had received and the _ in- dignity he had been subjected to, ran away —the most natural thing he cou'd do under the circumstances. Ho headed for home at a lively clip and was dashing down South Eleventh atreet, when a trolley car digputed the right of way with him. It was in front of 1113 South Eleventh, and the car was No. 270 of the Transit Com- pany. The car won in the discussion, but at the cost of $100, while the horse, who threw up the sponge, with his life, early tn the game, was only vaiued at $70. There is frony in this, the killing of a $70 steed at a oost of $100, but neither the Transit Company nor the liveryman—nor Remmers, for the matter of that—sees it. Anyhow, Remmers and the liveryman have an account to eettle between them for envious glances cas: ¢ the sleigh and the slay of a horse, and he and Miss Wolf have another—whidch was due to come up at 11 o’clock Friday morn- ing. No one was hurt except as to feelings. —_ i an aor: CITY OFFICERS DIDN’T REPLY. Economy of Police as Inspectors Failed to Arouse Them. Secretary Ward of the Police Board has received a reply from but one of tht city officials to whom were sent copies of the resolution of the Board offering to relieve tht city of the expense of the large force of inspectors now employed, by having the police act as inspectors. The reply came from President McMath of the Board of Public Improvements. Mr, MoMath stated that he had nothing to do with tht employment of inspectors, Mr. McMath rather favors the plan, in so far as it applies to inspection work that does not require technical knowledge. The in- spectors of whom technical Knowledge is required are in the minority. By far the eater part of the cost of inspectors ls or those who are assigned to street sprink- ling, street work and street raliways, and the duty of these does not require techni- cal know! . ; President Hawes of the Police Board said Thursday afternoon that he expected at least the courtesy of replies to the resolu- tions from the city officials to whom they were sent. ‘The city needs money and is havi trouble in finiding it,”’ he said, “and ! would seem that the officials would wel- gestion better cer is report to the cit are recel a ity of two re pa rt. fall to 8 the nec o see men doing one man’s work.” Last Two Days.

Board of Health Inquiring Into the Husband’s Ability to Pay for His Wife’S Keep at Asylum. A gale is blowing in a small teapot on South Jefferson avenue and from present indications he would be a wise prophet, in- ceed, who could foretell when the tempest will subside. ‘the storm centers around a cigar stand in a building bearing the numbers 1805, and its keeper, Charles Imse, about Ww years oll], carpenter by trade. As a result the minds of shopkeepers and flat @wellers in that vicinity are in a very unsettled state—all because the shopkeepers and flat- dwellers believe Imse is rich and has a pot of goid hidden away somewhere; while Imse, who is a German, is using all the words he can eonmand in the Engiisa tongue to refuto tne wnarge that he :: wealthy and excitedly proclaims that he is a poor ‘man. The tempest broke in all its fury last Tuesday when Imse’s wie, a frail little woman, about & yeurs oiu, Was iéd from the door of her home in a blinding snow- storm, placed in an ambulance and taken to the City Insane Asylum. The news got abroad that she had been taken to the Poorhouse, and the neigh- bors rebelled at this, because Ilmse was known to berthe owner of tour elegant two-story brick buildings which are said to be worth $10,000. The news was alsvu passed from the shoemaker to the butcher and by the latter’s wife to the lady in the tirst-fioor front that the hands of ‘“Mam- my’’ Imse, as she was known, were tied, and that she begged piteousiy to be al- ‘owed to remain at home. When it became known that Mrs. Imse had been placed in the asylum, and not the Poorhouse, the “enpesc did not subside, because with this inormation came the news that Mr. Imse had told the city authorities he was too cor to pay for his wife’s keeping an‘ isked that she be taken as a charity pa- tient. Imse’s patience was sorely tried at ‘his point, and he offered to introduce, is evidence of his poverty, vartous notices irom angry creditors that he must pay up, but ‘his neighbors still refused to believe that he was indebted to either doctor, umber or baker. He then offered to in- troduce his tax receipis and _ especial- iy from the Water Rates Depart- ment to show that the tax collect- or made it utterly impossible for tim to ecare for his aged wife, but the neighbors were obdurate and turned away. He has not only met with great d‘fficuity in convincing his neigihbcors that he is poor, but the Board off Health, it appears, nas taken his statement with a good sized lump of salt, and has aagmitted his wife as . charity patient in the asylum with the inderstanding that he tis to make another aport on his financial conaition at the end of six months. As matters now stand in- iications are that the entire six months will be consumed in explaining to the 1eighbors ‘his present financial status, when he will have to begin again with the Board of Health. The case so puzzled Dr. Jordan that he laced ali the facts obtainable before the hoard without mak'ing any recommenda- tion, merely stating that Mrs. Imse was in- -ane and should be removed to an asyium. According to all the evidence now in, the ausband has no one to provide for but the aged wife, es his son is manager of a showease manufacturing comcern in Iiii- no's and the daughter has a somfortable position in St. Lonis. All this evidence, in- luding a rent roll, the shopkeepers and fatdwellers in that vicinity have heaped in the ha‘ances aguinst him which *hey submit as testimony in support of their contention that he is amply able to pay for his wife's keeping and thavé°a enug balance for the’ tax collector. i Two weeks ago Mr. Imse became alarmed at his wife’s condition. She had been ailing for some time, and“when he saw she was growing worse he e«alled in'Mrs,. Engelbert wife of the grocer next door. He tok \irs. Engelbert that he would get anything she thought his wife needed, or that his wife might wish, but one. He drew tne ine on the priesthodd. A priest, he de- ‘lared, could not darken his door and his postition in that regard he wanted distinct- ly underatood. With this understanding Mrs.. Engelbert attended the sick woman.

OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO JOIN. There Is a Possibility That the Trou- ble Will Extend to Same Trade in Other Cities. CHICAGO, Marah 2.—War is now on be- tween the International Association of Ma- chinists and the Chicago Association of Ma- chinery Manufacturers. As a result of the failure to reach an agreement last night at a meeting between representatives of the two bodies to discuss the questions in dispute, the Executive Committee of the machinists’ association decided to call a general strike of machinists in Chicago, and by to-night practically every union and many non-union machinists in this city will have laid down their tools, the only ex- ceptions being at the shops which have signed the agreement. The strike may take on a much wider nana than at first anticipated. A meeti of the Executive Committee of al] the meta working organizations in the city was held to-day and the question of a sympa- thetic etrike discussed. It understood that the sentiment among the men strongiy favors such action in case it is found nec- essary to help the machinists win their fight. Members of the Executive Council of the International Association of Machin- sts were also started for other cities to in- vestigate the gate me conditions, and if necessary call out the meaechinists. No strike, however, has been as yet reported outside of Chicago, except in Columbus, ‘O., where, according to a telegram recei «ed to-day by President vames O'Connell. ev- ery union man has quit work in obedience to orders from the union. Stuart Reid has gone to Milwaukee, Wis.; International Vice-President D. D. Wilson to Columbus, O.; Conlon to Kan- sas City; J. Ferguson to Cleveland, O.; J. C. Daglish to Buffalo, and A. H. Holmes to Toronto, Ont. President O’Connell said to-day that the trouble had mow developed into a life and death struggle for the union, and that there were possibilities of the strike including not only all the machinists, but extending to all the metal working organizations in the country, which would affect nearly 500,000 men. The machinists in Canada are also under the control of the International Association, and_ strikes, according to President O'Connell, may also be ordered in that territory. At present no trouble is anticipated be- tween the union machinists and the various railroads terminating in Chicago, ag on many of the lines grievances have already been settled. The meeting of the representatives of the metal working organizations, called to de- cide the question of a sympathetic strike, took on a broader scope than was at first expected. It was practically a meeting of the business agents of the unions in every line of metal workers in Chicago. The meet- ing resulted in a decision on the part of the union representatives to support the machinists in ‘all respects and to order sympathetic strikes at once wherever that action was found necessary. This may in- volve nearly 3,000 men in this city alone. The business agents expressed themseives confident that their action would be fol- lowed by the material trades councils in other cities, How Different. From:the Chicago News.

The New Yorker Will Insist On an Eight-Ciub League. NBW YORK, March 2.—Much has been said and a dea] more written about the methods employed by the good Mr. Brush and his asociates in their effort to reduce the National League cireu:t from clubs to eight clubs. and the ‘‘wisdom trust’’ of baseball] boasts racing world, ' the key which will unlock the baseball problem, and nobody is more impressed With this fact that John T. Brush, who, in addition to being a “really good man,’ is beyond dispute the cleverest politician in the National League. ‘Brush knows, and has known for many months, that Andrew Freedman not only has the power, but the opportunity as well, to create a baseball organization antagonistic to the National League and its interests, an organization capable of costing the said League thou- sands of dollars in cold cash and thousands more in the loss of prestige. To cut a long story short, Freedman has decreed that the Nafional League circuit shall be cut to eight clubs, and if that is not done he will see to it that a rival league to the National will take the fleld at once.

In all sections the general situation is compara- tively unchanged, news favoring the ) as far a8 cTop reports are concerned, while if it were not for the prospect of heavy receipts in near future, the present small primary postings would have a bullish effect on trade.

This is the season, when sensation, fake and contradictory reports of all kinds are daily cir- eulated. The pit has learned to partially dis- count these, culling out the false from the true, but in spite of this they still have some effect on the market. The general shipments would show a the erroneous cabled shipment, an inipoasibie, even the gains in Paris give the market enough strength to overcome the early losses. This market has not been prominent of late, speculators have taken a rest in their manipulations of the wirea and the mar- ket has registered daily loases. The price of grain in that market, however, is so bigh in comparison with other markets, that a gvod many cents could be Jost there without producing any sym- pathetic changes in other markets It ia different in thelr advances, , gain is made there speculators on this side im- wediately imagine all kinds of dire calamities about to befall the grain market. The bulla jump in and force more advances, on this side, shorts hedge and for a time there is excitement, with many violent fluctuations. The peculiar thing about these gaina in Paris is that often times they dre made on the bearish news, instead of ou the bullish. Whenever there ts a large ship ment of grain to Liverpool you may expect an advance at the opening in Paris. These advances are not In any way justified aud give the im- pression of manipulation. There is no reason for Paria wheat being $1.03, while Liverpool is 844gc; Chicago around Gc, and St. Louis in the neighborhood of Gsige. ‘here is altogether to large 4&4 spread between Fugland and.

To Leftwich-Fisber CHICAGO, March 2.—Wheat was weak and low- er to-day, on the large exports from the Argentine. Trading was very Mmited. There was some cvuv- ering by shorts and less pressure to sell.

By Bennett Wasserman & Co. On a decline of an even half cent from yester- day's prices the wheat market became very tame to-day. ‘Trading was very light. The bulls are in no condition or mood to fight the prevailing feeling of lower prices. In fact, it seems to be in the alr. The most ardent bus will admit that a dower market is inevitable, at least for the present, and, therefore, the Hittle buying that is being dune is by shorts. The market eti!l has a hey appearance, and values will stiffen muore before there ls any purchasing that will hold prices In the last three days receipts of corn at Chi- cago have aggregated 1060 cars, of which 7 cars Were contract. The poor grading is explained by the supervising inspector as belug due to wet weather. New corn never grades well at time of the year, as a rule.

There is pressure Somewhere, but who \has got hold of this grain and dumps it whenever he can wet a fraction profit ts one of the things that ho mam can make out. There is a cligue in Chicago holding an enormous amount of grain, but we do net\hear of their making any large sales. They have got the market down to rights; toney unlead just ep gh of their grain to get a fraction and then hon till the course of trade throws the price up again, they repeat the process. W hen ihe snow clears off there is going to be a big loss ia price, but this will not last. It is probably that at the last minute most of the grain holders” will sell out and buy again at the bottom figure. “here will be a reaction and a cent ligher corn. The market then ought to hold steady through the spring. If we can believe ali the bull news we hear about corn, it is one of the best bny- ing commodities on the market, with a good profit sure. But wait to get your corn till the nnload- lng is fairiy ptarted. and then you can buy all you want and can held to coutract date, with a good profit and without any risk of loss, i outside coverings unbpecessary.
