a la VOLUME XXX WICHITA, KA2SB Aj TUESDAY MORNING, MAX 2, 1S99 2STUSrBEB 143 dkgk Day Is Celebrated Among the Anti-Imperialists, SECRETARY LONG DEFENDS fvlcKinley in the Very Hotbed of Aguinaldoism. NAVY PRAISED GENERALLY Uut Fnnston -Singled Out by Xamc, and JDedared Be a Greater Than Iloratius.; Boston, Mass., Hay 1. The Essex club celebrated Dewey's victory with a ban quet at Young's hotel today, at which v.ere entertained as guests Secretary of the Navy 'Long and two heroes of tho Manila fight, Captain "Wildes, of the Bos un, and Lieutenant Commander Heese, formerly executive officer of the Olympia, besides Commander James R. Selfridge, formerly of the uritan and Lieutenant Commander F. A. "Wilmer, of the Monad nock. Secretary Long began his speech with an eulogy of Admiral Dewey and then paid a graceful tribute to the officers and men of the navy. The greater part of his speech was a defense of the na tional administration's Philippine policy, ile said, in part: T believe that no more unpatriotic ut t -ranee, or one more unjust to the ad ministration of the government ot our i ountry, has been uttered than the state ment which I see now and then that 'the treatment of the Cubans by Spain or the Armenians by the Turks, is not to be com pared with our course toward the Filipinos in wanton and deliberate cruelty.' The mind that can utter such an extra va-t-.ince is so entirely warped that its judg ment is valueless. "The statement has been made that the treatment of the Cubans or the Armenians uas not worse than our treatment of the Viiipmos in wanton and deliberate cruelty. I- understand that this is charged, not as n incident to the conditions of war, but is the deliberate action of the adminis tration. If thte is so it Is an utterly mtan, unwarranted and contemptible as sertion. Any mind that is not entirely perverted knows that it is not true and that the administration has had no pur ree of wanton and delberale cruelty or of any njury to the Filipinos. "Its first, constant .and last instructions have been to assure them every help to letter conditions. You can point to no word it has uttered, no order it has given, r.o mission it has sent, that has not had i.i view the Improvement of the Philip pine islands, if you will read the recent proclamation issued Tjy the commission of which Professor Schurraan is the head. 5'u are blind if you do not see that it nders to them every advantage of good u vernment and civilization. That any man can suggest that the spirit thus ex russed compares unfavorably with that f General Weyler's barbarity in Cuba or tne Turks' massacres in Armenia is a r' flection upon either- his candor or his i telHence. "The delay in the ratlficntfcm o the peace treaty induced Aguinaldo to be lieve that a large element in this country was opposed to the president's policy and f ivored the immediate independence ot the l-'ands. and his agent here, Agoncillo, fncoutagpd by the delay, encouraged him K this opinion. An intercepted telegram, v hich 1 forwarded to Dewey, was brought l me by a newspaper reporter from -wimuu nere wnose later precipitate UiKht was confession to Aguinaldo there, 'J'ging him to make an attack upon the American forces in Manila and to do so ie the 6th of February, which was time get for the vote of our senate k the ratification It is well known that attack was made Again, this delay left no time for con J,r. ss to act upon the question, of what -ixwition should toe made of the Philip r es but left them m the hands of the sideni. He has not the power to dis -erf them. They are territories for v ien congress must make needful rules i regulations. The title to them is in t Lmted States. His simple dutv is to m umain law and order there until con V S3 can act. On would think, from iat some say, that the president had E ne out of his way to begin an inva- n upon the Filipinos. On the contra ry on February 6, around the city of .1 mite, where life and property were con- ograted and entitled to protection, -ruinarao and his followers were makin- ir assault, shooting down our soldier .uing riot and disturbance, endanger- life and property, actually lighting torch and attempting to burn the city I in hardly believe that even the critics he administration approve of this at time, or that they approve of the Fil- firing on our Hags of truce. And I cannot help noticing that some them have no word of sympathy for soldier-countrymen who in their line iuty were exposed to those dangers in i about Manila. They have no word praise for the gallant Funston. Yet v n Hortius won eternal fame by swim- ng the Tiber he was escaping: from the when the young Kansan crossed the II Grande it was to attack the enemy ..1 In the very teeth of the enemy's fire. I if some atrocious slander is invented -wast the good conduct or humanity ur army, it is a source of delight to t m. The president bad given strict orders to t. -oral Otta to avoid conflict in everv r -role way. and General Otis had notf i Aguinaldo. The latter, instead of ng peaceful settlement, went on v .Ung war on the city and on our troops v fully there. In the discharge of his to maintain law and order, certararv Z president was justified in suppress I the attacks. And, if the best means c- iefense was. for the time being, to as e .me tne offensive, after such provoca t n. in order to prevent further attacks. in was justified in that. "Meantime, the most enlightened com ir ision he could select had been sent t Manila, with a vie- to bringing about it n proper adjustment. This comniis- n is now at work. One would think 1 ai what is sometimes said that on the c s'd.- are s.mply the American armed f "c s and on the other all the Filipinos a ail their interests. On the contrary 1 you yet taken pain to ascertain that tne property and commercial sad other interests of the great city of Manila pre fer an American protectorate? Do you know that one or more of the islands, through their own authorities, have offi cially expressed their gratification at the American supremacy and sought its pro tection? Do you know that if there could be a free and well-informed expression of opinion among their responsible citi zens, they would largely prefer the shield of the United States over them? Do you know that Aguinaldo represents only a portion of the Filipinos themselves, and that he is exercising the most violent des potism -wherever his forces prevail? Dewey reports that native laborers and mechanics who have been employed by us have been intimidated and driven into Aguinaldo's ranks. It is undeniable that there are very large interests and a large number of inhabitants of the islands who differ from Aguinaldo and are not repre sented by him, and who are desirous of American protection. I cannot help feel ing that there has been undue precipita tion on the part of some in failing to ap preciate the great responsibility that rests upon the president and in launching the most violent assaults upon his adminis tration, -which is doing the best it can In Its endeavors to preserve order and to es tablish a stable condition of things before entering upon the question of further ad justment. "It seems to me that this Is the rst thing to be done, and this the administra tion is endeavoring to do; second, to go on, through the Schurman peace com mission, as that commission is endeavor ing to do, and as speedily as possible get into communication with the leading in fluences among the natives and secure some adjustment. The third thing for the administration Is, while thus insuring or der and doing everything to secure an adjustment with the natives, to wait the action of congress, which must determine what the disposition of those islands is to be.-" HAY HANDS OUT THE CHECKS French AmbisrsaUor, for Spain, JKe ceipt for 520,000,000 Washington, May L The last move in the negotiations terminating the war with Spain occurred today, when Secretary Hay .paid to the French ambassador, M. Cambon, the $20,000,000 provided by the treaty of peace for the cession of the Philippines. Tho payment was made in four treasury warrants of $3,000,000 each and was receipted for by M. Cambon as completely liquidating the obligation of the United States in this connection. The ambassador deposited the $20,000,000 in the TUggs National bank of this city and the cashing of the warrants is expected to be effected later through the City National bank of New York. The Spanish govern ment was notified by cable of the pay ment, but nothing will be done as to for warding the funds to Europe until Spain directs the exact course to be pursued. Tho original receipt was handed by Secretary Hay to Mr. Frank A. Brana gan .the disbursing officer of tho depart ment of state, to be filed away. One copy was given to M. Cambon, another will be sent to United States Minister Storer, a third copy goes to the United States ambassador at Paris, Mr. Porter, and a fourth to the auditor of the treasury. After receiving the $20,000,000, Mr. Cam bon folded the four warrants and put them in his card case. He and Secretary Hay chatted over the speedy restoration of diplomatic relations between the United States and. Spain, for this payment marked the very last step of tho war negotiations. Mr. Hay desired to know when the Duke D'Arcos would arrive in Washington. M. Cambon said he thought the Spanish minister would come in about two weeks; still, he was not certain of this and he said it had been left largely to the duke's personal convenience. A cable notificationwas sent to Madrid concerning the payment and preparations made for having the warrants paid and the funds forwarded. This, however, was not done today, and the four warrants re main for the time being in Washington. The money will be deposited entirely in the National bank of New York. The form of receipt signed by the am. bassador was as follows: "Received from the secretary of state of the United States the sum of $20,000,090 in four drafts upon the assistant treasu urcr of the United States at New York, numbers 4500, 4."10, 4511 and 4S12, of date April 29, 1909. each draft being for S5.000, 000, the some being in full payment of the obligation of the government of the United States to the government of Spain as set forth in article 3 of the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain, signed at Paris, France, on the 10th day of e-Dcember, 1S9S, the ratifica tions of which were exchanged in the city of Washington on the 11th day of April, 1S99, the payent being provided by the act of congress, approved March 2, 1S99, entitled 'An act making an appropri ation to carry out tho obligation of the treaty between the United States and Spain, concluded December 10, 1S9S. (Signed "JULES CAMBON, "Department of State, May 1. 1S99." New York, May 1. It Is sakl that war rants for $20,600,000 for the payment to Spain will reach the sub-treasury tomor row and that exchange for the entire $20, 000,000 wiH bo purchased by Spain's rep resentative in tho local market. Dealers were of the opinion this afternoon that exchange for about three-quarters of the amount of the indemnity had been al ready gathered and that the remainder would be obtained without a further ad vance in rates. GHILKATS ON THE WARPATH Attack 3Ien Who Are Blast Id;; for a XcwTrail. Skagway, Alaska. April 31, via Seattle, Was.. April 31. The Chilkat Indians are on the warpath. Last Sunday twenty-two bucks, armed with rlfiefiV, gathered from, their several villages along the Chilkat river and marched to Rocky Point, eight miles from Haines Mission, where eight white men were blasting rock for a trail to Klukwan, a distance of twenty-five miles. The Indians drove the whites away. Word ww immediately sent to the UnKed States marshal and commissioner at Sfcag way and to Captain Cheatman, In com mand of the troop? at Dyea. Sixteen sol diers under command of a sargean: were at once eent to Haines Mission. It te un derstood that parties who are opposed to the construction of the new trail, have in cited tne Indians to make trouble. KaiiNMns Start Homo in June Lawrence. Kan.. May L Congressman J. D. Bowersock received a letter from Adju tant General Corbin today saying the Twentieth Kansas would probably start home from Manila about the middle of June. Buffalo. N. Y.. May i.-The eighth bi ennial convention of the International As sociation of "Machinists opened here today with IS delegates, representing 1C.009 members of the organuuxion in the Uni ted States. Canada and Mexico present. Mayor DienI welcomed the delegates to the city. The treasurer reported $l?,y ra the treasury. Sessions are secret. Of the Euphrates and Tigris to be Seized by England, THIS ENGLAND'S PROGRAM To Prevent Russia's Obtaining a Persian Gulf Base, Berlin, May 1 The Frankfurter Zeitung publishes a dispatch from Bagdad, Asiatic Turkey, asserting that Great Britain has already taken steps to .counteract the ef forts of the Russian expedition, consist ing of seven officers and fourteen engi neers, which recently completed a survey for the extension of the TiTflis and Kars railroad from a point on the Little Zabee river, northwest of Bagdad, to the Per sian gulf. According to the advices in queselon, a British gunboat has been sent to the Persian gulf, presumably with the object of taking possession of the mouths of the rivers Euphrates and Tigris. ANGLO -RUSSIAN AGREEMENT American Interests, It Is Thought Will Xot Suffer Thereby London, May 1. The Marquis of Salis bury, prime mniiater of foreign affairs, and A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treas ury, announced today in tho house of lords and in the house of commons, re spectively, the general drift of the Anglo Russian agreement regarding the spheres of influence of the governments of Great Britain and Russian in China as they have already been made. Lord Salisbury said he hoped Russia would consent to the publication of the text of the agree ment when it arrived in a few days. His lordship emphasized hid anxiety not to ap pear to attach exaggerated importance to the specific stipulations of the agreement, adding: "Of course I attach very great importance to the signing of this agree ment, because It is a sign of the good feeling so desirable between the govern ments of Russia and England. His lord ship also expressed the hops that the good feeling would extend to the peoples of the two nations. This agreement, he said, was valuable as preventing the pos sibility of a collision between the two governments in China and "therefore," he said, "it is a guarantee of their future agreement for a long time to come. I trust that It will lead to future agree ments on other matters." Berlin, May 1. It is the belief here that England having relinquished the open door in China and given her adhesion to the sphere of influence policy there, Ger many must follow suit. The Tageblatt today says: "The first consequence of the Anglo-Russian agreement must bo that Germany, too, must declare the Hoang Ho valley to be her sphere. It would be a far-reaching error were Germany to con fine herself to the province of Shang Tung." St. Petersburg, May 1. The Anglo-Rue-sian agreement with reference to spheres of influence in China is not in the form of a convention, but is set forth in a note, duplicates of which have been ex changed between the Russian minister for foreign affairs, Count Muravieff, and tho British ambassador to Russia, Right Hon. Sir Charles S. Scott The preamble states that both countries agreed to up hold the integrity and independence of the Chinese empire. Rome, May 1. The chamber of deputies was the scene of an animated debate to day, growing out of numerous interpella tions. An exciting incident occurred when Signor Sartini referred to the landing of Italian sailors at San Mun bay, province of Chi Kiang, where the Italian govern ment asked for a 99-year lease for a naval base and coaling station. Admiral Sane varro, minister for foreign affairs, inter rupted the deputy by declaring that the government had never ordered such a landing. The debate was Anally adjourn de and is not likely to be concluded until Wednesday. Washington, May 1. Lord Salisbury's speech last night in reference to the agreement reached by Great Britain ami Russia was read with the greatest Interest here. The prevailing sentiment is one of relief that by this agreement is removed an element that theratened to involve hos tilities two great nations with which the United States was desirous of living on the best of terms. There is some curi osity to know just how the commercial interests of the United States are likely to be affected by this important arrange ment. It may -be stated that the highest official authority here does not accept the view set out in some of the British news papers that the United State has lost its chances in China, that the door is to be shut against us, and that we have de served this exclusion by failing to sub stantially assist England in securing the open door policy as to all China. It is said that so far as the English sphere in China is concerned the United States will have free entry commercially, while as surances have ben secured from Russia that United States commerce will be treated on terms of equality with Rus sian commerce inanyportion of China that may come under her influence. IT ISN'T GOOD MANNERS For One Xatioi: to Enact Another's T.irifTItesuIation London, May L In the house of com mons today Douglas Harry Coghul. con servative .asked the ministry if the for eign oilice had instructed the representa tive of Great Britain at Washington to make representations to the government of the United States as to the great in jury' caused to various branches of Brit ish trade by the existing American tariff and to urge the advisability of withdraw ing a tariff W unfavorable to Great Brit ain. In reply tne Rt. Hon. William St. John Brodercfc, parliamentary secretary for the foreign office, said that ft was not usual to make representations to a foreign power upon its tariff policy, ex cent fa connection with some pecirtc negotiation. The government, be said, did not consider that at the present moment inatmrtiOB snefc as tne member ?uggejtted would be likely to result o the benefit of BriisA commerce. CiT.iS Ithodr Cum.- on Slo-y London Mjl 1 In .i- c mons to-day the Rt K: S.r M.ueL j Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, announced that the government had failed to come to an agreement with Cecil Rhodes respecting the proposed guarantee to the Cape-to-Cairo railway. The an nouncement was greeted with cheers by t'he radical members. HORRORS OF THETRAIL Scurvy-Smitten Prospectors Selate Harrowing Experiences, Seattle, Wash., May 1. Sixty prospect ore arrived here today from Copper River, Alaska, on the steamer Excels.or. They brought with them a repetition of the sto ries of privation and death and many bore evidence on their bodies of the ravages of scurvy and frost A man named Young hobbled off the vessel on the stumps of two legs. Another named Alex Powell had but one foot. F. C. Goodwin of Oakland, Cal., -whose legs are black with scurvy, and -whose knees are bruised by contact with the ice, tells an interesting story of his experiences, which were similar to that of others. While camped In the in terior, his partner, Wesley Scheidece of Grand Ridge, 111., fell eick with scurvy and soon became unable to travel. Good win strapped him on a sled and started for the coast. After four days of almost herculanean latior, he arrived at the mouth of the Chitna river but his partner was frozen stark and stiff to the sled. He buried him in the snow. Continuing his journey to the coast, he came across a tent in which there were two men sick with scurvy. They were Dixon Hutton of Memphis, Tenn., and T. H. Rawlins of Little Rock, Ark. Another man hap pened along at the same time and he and Goodwin put Rawlings and Hutton on sleds and dragged them to the coast. Others are sick but their names are lack ing. Just before the Excelsior left Val dez, a big slide was reported on the gla cier, but no particulars were learned. The government expedition under Captain Ab ercrombie were arranging to begin the construction of a road into the interior when the Excelsior left. Relief parties with provisions and antiscorbutics had been sent into the interior. Washington, May 1. Acting Secretary Meiklejohn has received a report from Cap tain Abercrontbie, who is commanding the expedition investigating the Copper River route to the Yukon country. The report comes through Captain Robinson, quarter master at Seattle, Wash., who says that the following messabe from Captain Aber crombie, was handed him by the purser of tho steamer Excelsior, which arrived yesterday from Valdez, Alaska: "My ex pedition disembarked today, April 23. Hos pital organized for the care of destitute miners who are now coming out of the Interior by tho route you contemplate opening as a military road. While the conditions are distressing so far as the destitute are concerned, the worst is over. A full report follows." South Bend, Ind., May 1. Howard Ben der, returning from Valdez, Alaska, to Bayonne, N. J., killed himself on a Grand Trunk train today about two miles west of South Bend. Bender had been in Alaska about one year and lost all his money. He ia supposed to have been Insane. NICARAGUA'S HOLD-UP Attempts to 3Iake Americana Pay for the ljate Itevointlon. Washington, May L Advices received here from Bluefields, Nicaragua, indicate that the situation there, so fas as Ameri can interests are concerned, is extremely unsatisfactory and discouraging. It is be ing impressed upon the officials here that persons high in the Nicaraguan govern ment are pursuing1 a policy calculated very deliberately to crush the American inter ests, now of considerable magnitude in the Mosquito country'- The reports are to the effect that ever since the Clarence rebel lion, some years ago, the Nicaraguan gov ernment has been jealous, of the growing importance of the Aemrican settlements, and the Reyes rebellion recently seems to have confirmed it in the determination to destroy tho American influence in that section. The Nlcaraguans hold the Ameri can merchants responsible for Reyes' re bellion. They have consequently deter mined, according to reports received here, to impose upon these American merchants the entire expense to which the govern ment was put in repressing the rebellion, amounting to about $600,000. This could not be done directly without a breach of International law, hence the attempt was made to collect a large part of it through a demand upon the merchants for a sec ond payment upon imports to the de facto government of Bluefiekls while Reyes was in possession of the place. The reports show that this government of Reyes was actually de facto in the full sense of the term. In proof of this, it is shown that Estrada, the Nicaraguan governor of the place, sought and was given refuge in the United States concular agency. Also, the dues collected on imports were col lected for Reyes by the same treasurer, who had held the place for the past three years. The American interests in the Bluefields now aggregate fully S'.OOO.OOO in gold, and tne state department is deter mined that they sfcall be protected against the proposed extortion, so that interest ing news "is expected at any moment, in view of a United States man-of-war there, the Detroit, to execute the orders of the department. NOT GOOD FOR SCORCHING Is theKoad the Promoters of the Bike Trust 3lut Travel. New York, May 1. The Herald says: "Recent developments in the attempted formation of a bicycle trust indicate the hugeness of the scheme as contemplated by the promoters andto prove that ail is not plain sailing toward the perfection of that scheme. Not only was It the inten tion of the promoters to form a &om combination of all the big manufacturers of bicycles bat they aimed to bring into the trust all makers of saddles, tires, rims, tubing and other bicycle parts. Wkh this end in view options have been secured upon the plants of many manu facturers of rpplles and parts. It made little difference that some of the parts makers had already formed a trust of their own. As a matter of fact. K Is stated on excellent awthorKy that A. L.

QUIET Is Wardner But the Elements of Trouble Remain. TROOPS HELD INREADINESS From Chicago to the Coast Merriam on the Scene, Wardner, Idaho, May L-There were no disturbances in the mining district today. Eleven men were seen from Wardner go ing over the mountains, each having a gun on his shoulder, but their destination was not known. A considerable number of non-union men left on the train today and also a few strikers. Citizens are in dread of further outrages from now until the arrival of troops. State Auditor Bart lett Sinclair arrived here today as a rep resentative of Governor Steunenberg. He Is searching for evidence against the dyna miters, but cannot make much headway before the arrival of troops. James Cheyne, wounded by dynamiters on Saturday, is not expected to live until morning. Today the body of Jack Smith, who was killed by hs fellow rioters, was brought down from the Miners' Union hall in Burke and is at Wallace in charge of an undertaking firm named by Coroner France. The re mains will bo brought here in time for an inquest. This will be held at 3 o'clock Sat urday afternoon. Unless the soldiers have arrived in the meantime the Inquest may bo postponed. A telephone message today from Manager Burkridge of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan, directed that the okl force stay together in expectation of the revival of the work. Excavation of the ruins of the mill today disclosed the faot that the vault and safe had been success fully blown open by the rioters before the building itself was destroyed. Only a few smouldering ashes were found within the safe. The loss to the company from the destruction of valuable documents will be immense. Spokane, Wash., May 1. The correspond ent of -the Spokesman-Review at Wardner telegraphs that pending tho arrival of troos the town Is in a state of strained suspense. What heightens the anxiety is the general doubt as to when the troops wdl arrive. In the absenco of troops it would bo folly to attempt the resumption of work at the Bunker Hill under non union control. Any attempt to do so would assuredly result in a revival of the riots of 1S92. Outbreaks like that of Saturday could be repeated as often and ari violently as the strikers may desire. President Bradley, of San Francisco, now refuses to mako any statement regarding the com pany's policy. State Auditor BartletT Sin clair, the special representative of Gov ernor Steunenberg, arrived here today. Ho declares emphatically for law and order. A telephone mes.age from Canon Creek says a number of the lenders of the dyna miters are quietly leaving for Montana. Boise, Idaho, May 1. Governor Steunen berg, Attorney General Hays and Adjutant General Weaver vrent out this afternoon to meet General Merriam at Glenn's Ferry or consultation over the situation in the Coeur d'Alene. It Is not known what pol icy may be decided upon. The condition in the dictrict affected are looked on as being very grave tout the state authorities have refrained from discussing them or any plans contemplated for meeting them. Washington, May 1. Brigadier General H. C. Merriam, commanding the depart ment of Colorado, has been ordered to Boiee City to consult with the governor of Tdaho regarding the necessity and ne if the United States troops at he Wardner strike. The general has placed at his dis posal any of the troops available, whether in the department of Colorado or not. The troops in the surrounding departments have been ordered to hold themselves In readlnejs to respond to orders to move when issued by General Merriam. There are some companies in the vicinity of the strike, fuch as Fort Spokane. Helena, Mont,; Vancouver and Boise, which can be snt to the scene of the riots in a very short time. The whole matter is in the hands of General Merriam. RECEPTION OF THE BELMOMTS Bj- the -400'' Is a Problem Which Aci tatcs Society. New York, May 1 The Journal says: How will society receive Mr. and Mrs, Perry Belmont? This is a very pressing question In New York. Newport, and wher ever members of the "Four Hundred" con gregate. That the newly-wed coepte will return from the South to mingle in aodety here and at Newprot is not doubted for a mo ment. Both have been popular in tne past. Mr. Belmont, indeed, has been considered among the beaux of the fashionable Rhode Island watering place, while his bride, formerly Mrs. Henry T.

Only by frequent conferences between the several parties was the affair placed in such shape as to sutisfy the dictates of honor. Society Is familiar with the detnHt?, pro and con, and will judge accordingly. Mrs. Belmont's beauty, her pertonal and mental attractions and her wealth will count in her favor when the social jury is called upon to render a verdict. Mrs. Belmont's position is declared by his friends to be "unacllabio. Therefore, the marriage of the couple. It Is believed, will be viewed in tho best possible light by tho fashionable set of New York and New port. Society lives in a glass house, at best, and it is not to be expected that the ten ants will cast a stone. Tho Vanderbllts and the Astors rule New York and New port todny. ae they have done for years, and both families have hud enough trou bles of their own to be sympathetic. There will bo no recriminations from the quar ter, and the edict of the Vanderbilt-Astor clan will be final. It is an error, by the way, to assume that Mrs. Perry Belmont Is a msmbor of tho Vanderbilt famHy. or that, hor former husband wae related by blood tlet to the Vanderbilts. Henry T.

Yesterday was a sort of a cemetery and funeral ceremony among ail the live stock markets and in the provision pit as well. A 1 the leading stock centers very earlier gd.e out depressed markets with fairly gvd receipts generally poor quality, and ciaerate activity. One market reported v t-ak, and mostly ten cents lower, while tie bulk was griven out a flat 5 to 10 cents wtsr. This point, in sympathy with iie-e downward tendencies, caught the l.k'iwarm feeling' so far as market tone .a.3 concerned, and went off 5 to 10 cents, ts tiic da's quotation. The quality for 3' ;t-rday had no little to do with this to- gan slide, as it was in the mam very t mmonplace and generally not better 1 1 in fair. There was one car which was t :ledty better than the rest, but it was i t a: all extra or specially attractive. i le the most of the offerings were mix- t th:n, rough, or coarse, neavy stuff, x t attractive to buyers and hard to dit I r of. There were six cars sold, all t. it came in, and there was a fairly god f -7-ply of wagon stuff in. all of which, t .u cut-outs, a few governments, and l fag ends all soki and ax as good prices j ais possible, the unversal conditions l--"g as they were. There were no good gs offered, and what did come in so.d r. ght, but the grade and depressing re s' rts from the other market centers low ered markers In entire sympathy. There "us no duMness on the local market and at the lower prices the offered hogs went cs.iy and promptly. The wagon trade t xs more active and there was a very fair INI nday run from this division, and all v i -e sold at once. The six cars which arrived were sold, the last three receiving t best prices of the day. The teps were t n cents under Saturday, but the top j.1 on Saturday was better by about t d.t much than the tops of yesterday. receipts were ahead of Saturday by r rij 3CO, while the average weight was j. Jimds lighter. It was a medium mod c a Monday, but hi complete conformity t a other points. "Nothing was left un-E-r.-l and the poor grade was as readily alixToed at general market prices as Cu vgh they were prime fat stuff. REPRESENTATIVE SALES. ;n. Bock. Av. Wt.

Last week the sausage department of the Bold plant turned out 21,000 pounds of product of the several lines of their now "widely known and appreciated specialties. The recently adcied machinery- and up-to-date conveniences render the capacity of this department u?t about double its for mer limit. The working force has also been increased and under the expert eye and personal supervision of Superintend ent John Ratbman, head of this depart ment, some of the finest specialties made and put on the market are turned out from here. The trade is steadily growing for these epicurean delicacies, as they be come more and more known. This wek will show a large increase over last week, and the same week a year ago. Heavy deliveries and outside selling de pressed provisions and al the line closed off a few points. Other markets yesterday were as fol lows: Chicago expected 37,000 hogs and received 42.000, with 4,32i left over, against 17,060 on Saturday. The market was quoted as weakening 5 to 10 cents on the enormous receipts which, however, -were disposed of at the decline. The re ceipts at Kansas City were 9,303. and the market was also given as too liberal sup ply with the tone 5 to 10c lower. St- Louis was 5 to 10c lower, with 7,500 in. LIVESTOCK 31 VltXET. CHICAGO.

The over-Sunday accumulation of orders proved much lighter than customary, leaving the mar ket listless, however, inasmuch as cable and telegraphic advices indicated no changes of importance at home or abroad. Liverpool showed apthetic tendency, crop news was even more encouraging than that of last week. As the forenoon pro gressed, continental and Liverpool repre sentatives absorbed offerings of the sum mer months in a scattered way, this cot ton being supplied by certain local com mission houses, understood to ba heavily long.

Washington Dsaiocrt- II Henry Clews Considers the Results Not Unsatisfactory. .FUTURE HINGES ON CROPS While Over All Impends the Question of "Expansion," New York, May 1. Henry Clews says: At the close of the month, Wall street affairs show littte change from the gen eral features prevailing throughout ApnL The partial crisis produced by the marked break n certain speculative industrials at opening of the month, proves to have been broader in its results than was at first supposed. It has caused considerable un loading in the genercfl list; and so far it has been a test of the intrinsic strength of the market. The trial, however, can hardly be said to have been unsatisfac tory in its results. It may have wiped out some of the earlier profits from high prices, and to that extent it has restrict ed the buying capacity of the smaller class of operators; and this factor may largely account for the considerable shrinkage apparent in the volume of transactions. But the satisfactory feature Is that this month of test should have developed so little evidence of intrinsic weakness. The "bears" have done their best to break confidence in prices, but their success has been vary partial, and holders have shown their ability to protect their hold ings. This strength is more noteworthy be cause the earnings of the railroads have had some disadvantage in comparison with the extraordinarily large receipts at the same date of last year. In making such comparisons, howeverit must not be overlooked that he earnings must include a much larger proportion of the hii?h class freight than a year ago. The unprece dented activity In our Industries has caused an increased movement In the high-rated merchandise which cannot but tell favorably on the net earnings. The remarkable business activity must also have materially increased the passenger traffic, which is one of the most profitable branches of railroad operations. It is therefore likely that, when the net earn ings of the first three or four months of the year come to be exhibited they mny show larger profits than have been count ed upon. The prospects of the grain crops 'are watched with much Interest, -but remain an uncertain problem. The wheat crop has undoubtedly suffered severely from winter-killing, but exactly to what extent it is still too early to estimate. In the spring wheat sections the weather condi tions are for the most part favorable; but no estimate can yet be ventured as to its acreage. The current price of wheat and the possibilities of a large falling-off in the supply from the winter crop, are -undoubtedly favorable to an increase In the spring sowing, but at the moment this is conjectural. This uncertainty as to the wheat crop te the chief element adverse to the stork market; but operators do not seem to have yet made up their mind to accept he worst probabilities of the out come. The money market is no longer an ibstacle to speculative business. Money on caH is In good supply at moderate rates and there is no expectation of a change for the next few months. Taking the situation in Wall street as a whole it is to be regarded as a hopeful one. There is nothing in sight calculated to sug gest misgivings. Speculative accounts are perhaps quite generally in a condition con servative enough to make the "bears" cautious; and the unusual business pros perity is viewed as sutrgeting an upward rather than a reactionary course of prices. One very Important element however, impends over the market, which as yet has received no serious attention. I refer to the further consequences of the war in tho direction of trade expansion. This is a very large and vital question. At first it attracts comparatively little open attention. To the masses of our people, it is simetbing foreign to heir experience. To some, including a few statesmen of prominence, it seems an unwarrantable intrusion upon the past policy of our gov ernment. To all. It is confessedly a ques tion with many sides, and calling for in formation. But it is nevertheless a mat ter in which ail classes feel a deep in terest an interest so deep that men prefer to do some thinking and Investigating be fore they reach an affirmative conclusion. For this reason the question may be re garded as being just now in its silent and brooding stage. It may be safely as sumed, however, that a policy aiming only incidentally at the acquisition of territory and directly and permanently at a great expansion of our foreign trade and. at the same time .at a future better proection of our external interess, must appeal very effectively to the naioaal sense of self -interest and to the patriotic pride of our people. "With the large patriotic mmssr of the American public this new develop ment cannot fall to receive an encouraging reception: and that favorable preposses sion can only gain in strength in propor tion as this promised commercial expan sion comes to be understood in its full fength and breadth. Public opinion has yet to give a fair hearing to the minority opposed to the change. The class who follow party policies throucfa thick and this are waiting to see where the question will stand in political platforms: and aaore stfll are reserving their conclusions until 1 eongressiraal discussion has thrown its uncertain light upon the question. But t whilst pending this formative stage of opinion the subject may appear to be sur rounded with some uncertainty, men who understand the influences that go farthest in the shaping of popular seniatent can have little doubt that a policy which ap-1 peals so directly U the passion for the national greatness and prosperity wiU j finally bring a large majority of our people to the support of the policy of cosamT-ia4 and industrial expansion.

The spectacle of national greatness then presented will in fuse new confidence into New World en terprise and nothing can prevent our marching on toward an era of national greatnesss unparalleled in the history of mankind. This prospect may come with in sight of realization earlier than many We are within comparatively few months of the time when our future policy in these matters must be finally determined by the action of the administration and congress. There are men whs would give a fortune for the provision that would enabie them to forecast the final shaping of htis great issue; and with a little more clearness in the prospect, they will begin to take anticipatory ventures on the prob abilities of this situation. For his. how ever, we must wait; but it wiii be wise to keep a sharp outlook upon this factor in the march of events. MARCH HOLDS THE RECORD On Manufactures Exported Larsely to 3Ianufacturiiis: Couatrlen. Washington. May 1. American manufac turers made tneir highest record in for eign markets last month. The figures of tn March exportations, which the treas ury bureau of statistics iswued this month earlier than on any previous occasion, show that the March exportations of man ufactures were $36,025,733. or more than 25 per cent m excess of any preceding month. In March last year the exportations of manufactures were J23.214.450. In March, 1S97, J25.S76,&5L and In March, 1SSj, J19.126. 793. On only two occasions, Marcn and December, 1S9S, have the exports of a sin gle month ever reached J2S.oro.030. while in March, 1S9. they were, as already indi cated, J26,25,733, an increase of 50 per cent over those of the preceding month, February, 1SS9. Prior to 1S97 exports of manufactures never averaged in any motnh as much as a mJlion dollars for each business day; In five months of 1SS3 they averaged a million dollars for each business day, but It was left for March, 1S3, to make the average of more than a million dollars for each day In the month, or an average of $1,400, 000 for each biteines day. During the nine months ending with March, 1SK?, the exports of manufactures amounted -to J242,SS3,645. against J20S.7SS,OK in the corresponding months of last year, and formed more than W per cent of the total exports, against 28 per cent in the corresponding monefas of the preceding fis cal year. From whatever standpoint the March record of the exports of manufactures is considered, it is not only interesting but surprising. For the fir3t time in our his tory the exports of manufactures formed more than one-third of the total exports. The highest record ever made for a com pute year was that of 1SS7 when manufac tures formed 26 S per cent of the total ex ports, while the March, 1SW. figures show manufactures to be 35.3 per cent of the total exports for that month. Prior to 1S9S imports of manufactures always ex ceeded the exports of manufactures. The fiscal year 1SSS showed the exports of man ufactures to be 23 per cent in excess of the Imports of manufactures. This was looked upon as abnormal because of the small importations of manufactures Imme diately following the enactment of the tar iff law of 1897, and it was asotimed that importations o manufactures would in crease and perhaps again exceed the ex ports of manufactured articles. Instead of this, the March exports of manufac tures are in round numbers 50 per cent in excess of the Imports of manufactures, whHo for the nine months the exports of manufactures amount to J242.0S3.S4ft against J1&4.223$M worth of imports of manufac ture.'; during the same period. Thus, not withstanding the fact that the importation of manufactures has slightly Increased during the fiscal year compared with the corresponding months of the preced ing year, the exports of manufactures for the nine months are 25 per cent greater than the imports of manufacturei, and tor the single month of March, ss already ia dicated. are 50 per cent greater than the Imports of manufactures. StHl another curious and extremely In teresting fact is that more than one-half of the exported manufactures so to toe great manufacturing counines of the world. Of the six and a halfaiiHlon dollar- worth of agricultural bnplessents ex ported in the nine months ending with March, 13. three and a quarter mfflioa dottais worth west to Btecope ol the two million dollars -worth of books, maps and engraviags exported during that thae. more than one-third went to European countries of carriages and cars European countries took one-fourta, while of the four atHHon dollars worth of bicycle ex ported two and three-quarter ntfiUon dol lars worth vent to Europe. Kven ha ckwfcs j and watches Europe took JHLOW of tfce JUHieW worth exported during tho period under review, while of sdentinc fnatra mants and tfeo used for telegraph, tele phone and other electrical systesta, nearly is per cent went to Europe.
