Iiillj Stift Giren the Decision Orer Jack JtlcCorniack In a Six Hound Bout of Furious Fighting. MAC EASILY FLOORED Looks Now Like an Eight League Ball Club. But Directors Are Squabbling Orer the Hatter. Chicago, Dec. 16. Billy Stift, the Chicago middleweight, was given the decision over Jack McCormack, the Philadelphia heavyweight, at the end of six rounds here last night. Mc Cormack was fully twenty pounds heavier than Stift. Both men went at it hammer and tongs as soon as they toed the mark. Stift was put to the floor near the end of the first round by a. ris:ht swing on the head. He evened matters up in the next by sending Mac down twice. Mac was down agrain in each succeeding round and in the final one had all he could do to stand on his feet, as Stift landed some desperate swings on the jaw without a return. In one of the preliminaries George Elliott, a colored lightweight from Cin cinnati, broke his arm in the fourth round on his opponent's elbow. When the referee notified the crowd of the accident enough money was thrown in to the ring by the spectators to pay Elliott's expenses in the hospital for six months. In fact, he received a great deal more as the loser than his op ponent, who was given the decision. AN EIGHT LEAGUE CLUB. The Baltimore Club Must Go It Is Said. New Tork, Dec. 16 It looks like eight clubs. That the circuit will be reduced is a certainty. The Baltimore club will go with the rest of the "uitland ers." but it will take a little time to bring the Brooklyn end of the syndi cate to appreciate the stone wall situa tion it is up against. Baseball politics has or will bring about these facts, and baseball politics is different from any thing else in the political line. There was little else than "baseball politics" used at Friday's meeting of the National league at the Fifth Ave nue hotel. The board of directors took up the entire time' of the meeting throughout the day. It is thought that the Brooklynites must "knuckle" and give up Baltimore or chances are that the Brooklyn club will be squeezed out of the eight-club league which is sure to be formed af ter the Indianapolis agreement expires in 1P01. This sandbag process may not be the most just in the world, but its advocates fay it is for the best Inter ests of the game that only eight clubs should compose the National league, and that reason alone it commends it self to many lovers of the game. It is said, however, that there Is a desire on the part of the league to give Baltimore or Brooklyn club what the league considers a fair and just return for the Baltimore club's franchise, based on business lines. It has been figured that with an eight-club circuit the profits of the eight clubs would be increased at least 25 per cent over last year. It is also said that the league will be willing to give the retiring club 5 per cent of the prospective additional profits for the next two years and that the retiring clubs shall hold their grounds and be allowed to dispose of the players they now own. The Baltimore players can be sold for a large sum. McGraw, Rob inson. McGinnity, Brodie and others would be bid for by every club left. Louisville, Cleveland and W ashmg j ton have been brought to see the bene j fits of such a settlement. That these i cities could not be left out in the cold I is shown by a dispatch received from President Harry Quin of the new American association today: In his message Mr. Quinn offered to purchase the franchise of the Baltimore and Washington clubs at a few min utes' notice. There were tangible suggestions to day that the muddle would be strength ened out by the organization of two eight-ciub leagues. CYCLISTS TO GO ABROAD. Both Eiks and Ross Will Race in Europe Next Season. TCew Tork, Dec. 16. Both Bikes, the professional middle-distance champion, and Ross, who aspires to the top place in the amateur ranks, intend to visit Europe next season, and for this rea son they are particularly anxious to win their respective matches in Madi son Square garden Saturday. Ross will race for fifteen miles against Duer, the holder of the world's amateur hour record, in the afternoon and at night Elkes will meet Taylore, the French boy, in a contest continuing for one hour. Watkins the Sol9 Owner. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 16. Manager Watkins, general Pooh-Bah of the In dianapolis Ball club, has designed a grand stand, which has been approved by the city building department. It will have a seating capacity of 2,500, and will be patterned largely after the Detroit and Milwaukee stands, acknow ledged to be the best in the Western League, Manager Watkins declines to intimate who will constitute his play ing nine for the coming season. Connie Mack Must Wait. Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 16. Manager Connie Mack will not have the services of Pitcher Pete Hustings at the open ing of the championship season next spring. Husting Is putting in his last year at Wisconsin university and wishes to complete his course In the spring, which will keep him there until the lat ter part of June. Pete has notified Connie Mack to that effect and the youngster will not be seen In the pitch ers' box until June 26 that is, with the brewers. Brewster Defines L. A W. Stand. New Tork. Dec. 16. W. M. Brewster, known to the League of American Wheelmen ail over the country as "Pop" Brewster, formerly a treasurer of the league and one of its stanchest supporters from the day it was organ ized, was in town yesterday. He was asked what he thought of the racing situation. He answered that any state ment to "feet that the majority of League of American Wheelmen mem bers favored the abandonment of that branch of the sport was outrageous. In his opinion they are in favor of contin uing the fight. Every family should have its house hold medicine chest and the first bot tle in it should be Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup.

Eeedy a Witness In a Dam age Case. Kx-Governor Leedy ha3 been sub poenaed to go on the witness stand and testify in a case which will be up for hearing in the federal court next week. The case Is the damage suit of Joseph W. Snyder against the Johnson-Brink-man Commission company. Mr. Snyder was a deputy grain In spector at Rosedale during Leedy's administration. One day in October. 1S'j8, while he was inspecting grain at the elevator of the Johnson-Brinkman company, twelve grain cars were being drawn along the track by a stationary j engine by means of a rope passed around a sheave or pulley. The rope turned at right angles at the sheave, I and while Mr. Snyder was standing not far away it slipped from the sheave, I caught him up, and when he was picked up he was badly injured. He sued the i company for $22,000 damages. The suit was originally brought in the court of common pleas of Wyandotte I county, but was brought to the federal j court on a transcript.

TOPEKA STATE JOUEXAL, SATTHRDAT EVENING, DECEMBER 1G, 1899. NEW YORK HELPS OUT raying Orders Cabled to London Stops the Panic. Key Tork. Dec. 16. Five minutes of active trading on the stock exchange at the opening demonstrated that the mar ket was allowed to be run in unopposed d'T.i oralization. Running salt s at the npenincr showed quotations far apart. Extreme declines in the internationally listed stock ran up to 2'2 points, in sym riathv with the demoralization caused on the London stock exchange by the unexpected disaster to Gereral Buller jn K.iuth Africa. Rut even on the op ening transactions, uie puces iiuuicu vere on a scale upwards, the recovery of 1 to 2 points heing almost instan taneous. The hading industrials and specialties were greater sufferers than the railroad stocks dealt in on the Lon aon exchange. T'ne extreme decline in this group reached 5 points. In the Htnt-ral list the fall in prices was not txcossiw. Sales for London account Vtp on a la scale, especially as the rally lifted prices above the London jxtiity. so that there was an inviting 1 rofit in s-liins stocks here that had been bought i n the slump in London. Trie trading at the opening was at tended by considerable excitement and indeed, the Wall street district showed unwonted siens of activity before the stock market opened. The news in the morning papers of General Ruller's re verse brought brokers an 1 stock opera tors early on the frround to make prep arations for the demands upon them. Many did not wait for the opening- of the Xew York exchange, but cabled lmving oriels to London, thus helping on the rally there before the trading be gan in Xew York. The vigorous sup jiort by distribution of large buying or ders through the principal portions of the list was thus made effective and the market moved upwards almost from the opening. The recovery caus ed a i a'isc in the rush to liquidate and the market became quiet and lost all appearance of excitement. London, r-e. It;.

At noon today a tag on the pillow read '"Harvey" and unless the supporters of the other candidates come to the aid of their men the pillow will fro to the hero of the march from Camp Alger to Camp Mead. When Major Harvey came down town this morning- he went nine blocks out of his way to get a glimpse of that pil low. There was his name in big let ters on a card pinned to the pillow. He rushed down to the oflice of his politi cal advisor, the Honorable James Erst while Larimer. "Jim, what's the sign mean on the pillow'."' he asked. "1 don't know Mage, old man," he answered, laying his hand affectionate ly on the shoulder of that boyish look ing warrior. ".Now, there Is where my troubles commence. Kveryone calls me 'Mage' now. Call me Alexander. named for the great warrior you know, that is my first name and in the second place I am not old. "Just an endearing term you know Alec." said his manager. "There you go again. Alec doesn't sound good hitched to the front end of a warrior's name. I have half a notion to withdraw in favor of Gen. Hudson." At noon today the vote stood Harvey 27, Hudson 22, Hamilton 10 and Hughe's 9. Brigadier General J. White F. Hughes fell back a few paces on the llHth ballot because the charge of nepotism has been made against him.

HARDWORDS Against the Dead by Congress man Clark of Missouri. Sulzer Throws a Firebrand Into the House. Washing-ton, Dec. 16. The general debate upon the currency bill closed yesterday and today the bill was read for amendment under the five minute rule. The debate proceeded ciuietly. Mr. Mahon (Pa.) criticised Mr. Bailey for not admitting es Mr. Sibley had done, that the return of prosperity was due to the restoration of the Republican party to power. Mr. Levy (Xew York) announced his determination to vote for the bill, as did Mr. Fitzgerald (X. Y.) During the discussion a colloquy oc curred between Mr. Brown (Rep., Ohio) and Mr. Clark (Dem., Mo.) The former resented what he regarded as a slight put upon the memory of the late Pres ident Haves, in some remarks made by Mr. Clark earlier in the day. Mr. Brown paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Mr. Hayes. In reply Mr. Clark declared that Mr. Hayes was a "counterfeit president." for whom he had a supreme contempt even though he was dead. "He stole the presidency." said he savagely, "the greatest crime in the tide of times. 1 wish he could have lived forever and borne the scorn of decent men to the end of the world. His sepulcher should bear the words: 'This man was guilty of the monumen tal crime against human liberty.' Representative Sulzer', of Xew York, introduced a joint resolution declaring that a state of war exists in South Africa and according belligerent rights to the Transvaal government. The resolution is as follows: Resolved. By the senate and house of representatives that the government of the Fnited States recognizes a condition of public war between the government of Croat Britain and the government of the republic of the Transvaal, and the United States of America hereby declare that they will maintain a condition of strict neutrality between the contending powers and accord to each all the rights of bel ligerents in tlie ports and territory of the Vnited States. The congress of the Fnited States pro. test and remonstrate against the barbar ous manner in vhich the war has been conducted by Oreat Britain and the pres ident is hereby authorized to take such steps as may he expedient in his .imlT ment, to secure an observance of the laws of war. as recognized by all civiliz ed nations, and bring about an honorable pence. Mr. Sulzer said of the resolution "My sympathy is with the heroic Boers. They are making a brave and gallant "fiaht against great odds for their homes, their firesides and their liberties. We should not secretly or openly help rireat Britain to their disadvantage. We should accord the Boers all the rights of bel ligerents. I want to see the I'.oers win and I hone they will. I am opposed to the pig sticking mode of warfare Croat Britain is carrying on. If what I rend in the papers is true, this cruelty and in humanity puts Kngland beyond the p-le of civilization. It will come up in the house, and 1 want to go on record in fa vor of the Boers and their republic and against Kngland, or any Anglo-American alliance." QUAY'S CASE TAKEN UP. E-x-Senator Edmunds Appears For the Opposition. Washington, Dec. 16. An investiga tion of the right of former Senator Quay of Pennsylvania to a seat in the senate by appointment of the governor of Pennsylvania was begun today by the senate committee on privileges and elections. The hearing today was purely a legal argument on the right of the governor to make the appointment in the circum stances which arose, in the case of Mr. Quay a question which repeatedly has been threshed over by the senate in other cases. John P. Klkin. attorney general of Pennsylvania, stated that he would ad dress the committee on behalf of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. For mer Senator Edmunds announced that he would appear for those who remon strated against the seating of Mr. Quay and that he had as coadjutors Hamp ton L. Carson, and George Wharton Pepper. W. J. Brennen. an attorney of Pitts burg, announced his appearance for the Democratic members of the Pennsylva nia legislature and that he had associ ated with him James A. Stranahan. In the course of his opening argu ment, Mr. Klkin contended that a sov- I ereign state was at all times entitled to lull representation in tne senate accord ing to the spirit and letter of the con stitution. The intention of the framers of the constitution was to keep the represen tation of the state complete and he maintained that the governor having authority to appoint a senator to fill a vacancy caused by death, resigna tion, disqualification, or expulsion, had also full power to appoint in the event the legislature faileri of its duty to elect. He held that the failure of the legislature to perform its duty, ought not and could not operate to the state's disadvantage in the senate. Attorney General L'lkin was followed by Hampton L. Carson. As he was about to beq-in his argument. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, interrupted to inquire: "Do you not appt ar here as the paid attorney of John V.'ana maker?" Mr. Carson replied that he did not appear in the pay of Mr. Wanamaker or in that of anybody else. Former Senator Edmunds then seized the opportunity to disclaim for himself any connection with Mr. Wanamaker in the case. Mr. Carson presented an elaborate le gal and constitutiur.il argument against the seating of Mr. Quay. Englishman Arrested. New York, Dec. 16. The arrest yes terday of G. Percival Stewart of the American Investors' Trust, the Ameri can Investors' company, the Financial Agency company and tne Granite State Provident association, was followed to day by the arrest of Francis Wolf Brown, an Englishman.

Earling. president cf the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul road, had been badly crushed in a fall beneath the wheels of a work train at Xemaha, Iowa, and had died from his injuries later. SEN. MATTHEWS' TRIAL He Is Charged With Violating Bank ing Law. The trial of Senator Matthews is in progress at McPherson. He is charged with accepting deposits in his bank at a time when he knew the bank to be in a failing condition. The first witness called by the state was Bank Commissioner John W. Breidenthal. He testified as to his com ing there at the time the bank was closed. It was his judgment at that time that the bank would be able to pay about 80 cents on the dollar. He knew this, not from a personal knowl edge; but from his experience as a bank examiner. That was his judg ment. He also testified that Royal Matthews had come to see him and ask ed to be given time to straighten up, as he could sell $15,000 worth of the bank's assets to Mr. Clark and that his father-in-law, who is a wealthy banker, would take enough of the assets to raise the necessary amount. He also testified that Matthews said h refused to pay the checks presented just before the bank closed because that would im pair his legal reserve. Mr. Breidenthal also testified that the First Xational bank had made a writ ten guarantee of all the paper sold to the First State bank. A. 13. Dwelle, ex-cashier, testified next. The First State bank had $10,000 on hand on the morning it began business. MILL STILL GRINDING. Justice Near Topeka Reaping a Har vest. Cameron TS. Dill, a Santa Fe shopman, has begun injunction proceedings against H. Xagle. justice of the peace out at Oakland: Lvnian H. Morey, who claims that Dill owes him for rent: C. W. Whit more. Morev's attorney and the Atchison, Topeka and "Santa Fe railroad company. The petition alleges that Justice Nagle is running a sort of a fee mill in which he grinds out his fees regardless of the rights of Mr. Dill. Dill was sued by Morey in Xagle's court. It was claimed that the summons was served by a man who was not an officer, and Dill's attor ney made a motion to set it aside, but Xante refused to allow the motion to be even filed. Mr. Bill claims that Naele agreed to continue the case to a time when his attornev could be present, but that he afterward went ahead and tried the case in the absence of his attorney and rendered judgment against him, and ordered the Santa Fe to pay the amount claimed into court. A number of other il legal actions are charged against the justice fee mill, and an injunction is ask ed to keep tho suit from proceeding further. flYSTERIQUS ROBBERY. A Topeka Woman Loses $100 Worth of Diamonds. Five diamonds and one opal, valued at $400, the property of Mrs. Charles W. Siegfried, were stolen from her home at the corner of Twelfth and Tyler streets, Friday. Mrs. Siegfried is the wife of an em ploye of the Santa Fe shops. She had discovered about noon that her four rings had mysteriously disappeared from a shelf in the sitting room. Mrs. Siegfried placed the rings on the shelf w hile on her way to a room in the rear to wash her hands. She had worn them downstairs and had them on her fingers up to the time she deposited them on the shelf. After washing her hands Mrs. Sieg fried went to a neighbor's home but two houses distant from her own with out going back to the sitting room and securing her rings. While at the neigh bor's house Miss Xicholson, the servant came after her to tell her that the men she had sent for the day before to move the piano were at the house. Mrs. Siegfried returned to her home and superintend the moving of the pi ano. A few minutes after the men left, she thought of iter rings and went to the shelf to get them. They were gone. A search was at once instituted in the sitting room and in the other rooms as well, but it failed to result in the re covery of the jewelry. Mrs. Siegfried says she is po'sitive that she did not touch the rings after she placed them on the shelf. Besides Miss Xicholson, the only persons in the house, according to Mrs. Siegfried, were Samuel D. Kale, the piano mover and Charles Hill, a colored assistant. They all say that they did not see the jew elry. One of the diamond rings was a soli taire, another an Egyptian setting, and the third a cluster of three small dia monds. The fourth ring was a large opal. Mrs. Siegfried values the rings at $400. The police and sheriff's officers are working on the case, but so far no de velopments have resulted. Mr. and Mrs. Siegfried and children are recent arrivals in Topeka, having come here from Massachusetts. NOT THAT KIND OF A FIGHT How Sam Radees Suppressed an English Aiologist. Sam Radges was born in England but he is intensely American and his sym pathies with the Hritish in the Boer war are not so strong as to make him a violent partisan. On the day of the publication of the story of the defeat of the English at Stormberg Mr. Radges sat down to his supper at the Throop hotel with a State Journal in his hand, as usual. He un folded the paper and noticed the start ling news of the battle. "1 guess the British got the worst of it," said he half to himself. "Yes. a little reverse," said a stranger at his elbow whom Mr. Radges at once realized was an Englishman. Mr. Radges continued to read. "Why sir." said he excitedly, "they have been licked, licked I tell you." "Yes. I guess they have," said the Englishman, "but the Boers don't fight fair. They get our men into a trap and then ki!l them." "Well, what do you think this is?" replied Mr. Radges. "Have you an idea that the tight is under the Marquis of Queensbury rules and do you expect to win on a foul?" Mr. Radges was talking loud enough to be heard all over the room and his witty sally was received with shouts of laughter to the great discomfiture of the Englishman. CHRISTMAS SHIP SAILS. The Lucania Carries Many Passengers and Valuable Cargo. New York, Dec. 16. The Cunard Line steamship Lucar.ia sailed today for Liv erpool. The Lucania has the distinction of being the "Christmas ship" this year being the last vessel to sail from this side and arrive in England before Christ mas. In thetirst cabin there were 240, in tlie second 1.5 and in the steerage about 11 passengers. The Lucania carried over l.t! baits of mail and the postoffioe re turns show that she took out $3,1. Sm3 in monev orders. She also had on board $2.45t.u00 in gold. The concert given by Miss Northruo and the company of Topeka artists, Thursday evening, was exceptionally fine, worthy of a better attendance. Ev ery number was excellent. The dra matic presentation of Prof. Parsons was rendered in a masterly manner. Miss Northrop is possessed of rare tal ent, and as a composer deserves a place among the world's musical artists. DRIVEN BACK. Continued from First Page.) nation meeting of the citizens of Dublin Sunday to disassociate themselves from the act of Trinity college, by which it proposes to do honor to Mr. Chamberlain, "the author of the rob ber war being conducted today by Eng land." Another nationalist body, the Irish Socialist Republican party has issued placards for a monster demonstration outside Trinity college on Monday "to celebrate Gatacre's defeat at Storm berg." This demonstration is timed for the hour when Mr. Chamberlain will be receiving his degree inside the univers ity. The ministeralist papers call upon Viceroy Cadogan to prohibit both meet ings, but no prohibition can prevent crowds from assembling. Disorderly scenes seem inevitable unless Mr.Cham berlain takes advice and defers his visit. The Freeman's Journal publishes a scathing editorial on Mr. Chamber lain's shifty' career, entitled "Iscariot, LL. D." Viceroy Cadogan, an extreme ly nervous man is said to be ill at the prospect of the visit and has implored Arthur Balfcur to induce Mr. Chamber lain to abandon it. Mr. Chamberlain thinks this violent Irish Nationalist hostility will arouse English sympathy for him, therefore he is unwilling to cancel the engage ment. A Dublin mob is dangerous to trifle with. The extremists have not ben so strong there since 18S0 as now ENTIRE FLOOR FOR H ANNA. Hush For Hotel Rooms In Advance of Republican Convention. Philadelphia, Dec. 16. Within a half hour after the national committee at Washington had decided to hold the convention in this city, telegrams be I gan pouring into the hotels, asking that rooms be reserved for the period dur i ing which the convention will be held, j One of the first messages received was I from Chairman of the Republican Na i tional Committee Hanna. who request ed that an entire floor of the Hotel I3ell j vue be reserved for him. Senators De i pew and Piatt of New Tork; State Chairman Odell of New Tork, and Gov ernor Roosevelt also had rooms reserv ed for themselves. Having won the convention, the citi zens will now turn to the work of pre paring for it. The municipal legisla tors are preparing to help in making the convention a success and ordi nances are being prepared to appro priate funds for the purpose. The con vention will be held in the large audi torium of the recent National Export Exposition. At present the big hall has a seating capacity for 8,000 persons, but this will be enlarged to accommodate at least 18,000. The convention hall is located in Vv'est Philadelphia on the west bank of the Schuylkill river and is about a mile and a half from the hotel district. e and place. Republican National Convention Philadelphia June 19. Washington, Dec. 16 The Republican national convention will convene at Philadelphia on Tuesday, June 19, next. The place and date were decided upon by the national Republican committee after a friendly contest for the honor j of entertaining the convention between 1 the city selected, Chicago, St. Louis and New York. The meeting of the j committee was held at the Arlington hotel and was presided over by Senator Hanna, the chairman of the committee. Forty-three of the forty-five states and each of the six territories were repre- sented, Senator Foraker. proxy for Charles L. Kurtz, the national commit teeman from Ohio, and Senator Wolcott proxy for J. F. Sanders of Colorado, being the only absentees. In addition to the committee were many of the big wigs of the Republican party in attend ance. The proceedings throughout were enthusiastic and harmonious. The balloting occurred in the after noon behind closed doors. Upon the first ballot Philadelphia received 13 i votes. Chicago 20, New York 7 and St. Louis 9. On the second ballot the con test narrowed down to Philadelphia and Chicago, the New York votes went to Philadelphia and the St. Louis vote was split between the City of Brotherly Love and the Windy City of the Lakes. An amusing incident occurred in con nection with this ballot. After it was concluded and announce;! as Philadel phia 25 and Chicago 23. Mr. T. N. Jam ison, the national committeeman from Illinois, suddenly discovered that in the excitement he had forgotten to vote. He demanded that the vote should be recast and it was accordingly done, but it did not change the result, Chicago gaining only the vote of the committee man from Illinois. Philadelphia won by the narorw margin of one vote. Im mediately upon the announcement the Quaker City boomers who had been waiting in the lobby broke out in ring ing cheers and the hotel was soon given up to their jubilations. Later many of them went to the White House and called upon the president.' As the bal lot was secret there is no record of the city for which each committeeman voted. It was the desire of the leaders at the meeting that the convention should be held June 12. and that date would have been selected had it not been that it conflicted with the date of the Rhode Island elections. June 5 was then selected, but the date was recon sidered and changed to the 19th in the hope and belief that before that date congress will have adjourned. After the time and place had been selected the committee considered briefly a re quest from Delaware that the commit tee take some action to straighten out the factional fight in that state to pre vent two contesting delegations from appearing from that state. The committee decided that it had no jurisdiction. After the Delaware case had been dis posed of, the chairman was authorized to appoint a subcommittee of five to make arrangements for the convention, also a committee of three to prepare and distribute literature. Chairman Hanna and Secretary Dick were made ex-offieio members of all sub-committees. Messrs. Manley of Maine, Long of Florida and Simon of Oregon were ap pointed a sub-committee to consider the election of delegates in the District of Columbia. CILLETT'S DEBTS. Estimated at $1,500,000 Plunger In Fear of Being Kidnaped. Kansas City, Dec. 16. Creditors of Grant G. Gillett. the Kansas cattle 1 plunger, will get little out of their I claims, even if they are holders of first mortgages. A conference of attorneys interested in Gillett litigation was held yesterday at the Coates House in ref erence to a number of suit brought in Davies county. Among those who at tended the conference was James M. Johnson, one of the leading attorneys of St. Joseph, who represents a large number of creditors, t "When it is all figured up I believe the liabilities of Gillett will run from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000." said Mr. John son. "It is impossible to sav what the actual loss will be. but it will be the greater portion of this. Even those who win suits and obtain possession of the cattle in litigatioi will be obliged to sacrifice large sums out of the judg ments for expenses. I secured judg ment recently in one case for $45,000 and of this amount $15,000 was paid out for the expense in taking care of the cat tle and the legal expenses. "Gillett," continued Mr. Johnson, "is in the dairy business at Chihuahua and the newspaper reports of his present ill ness are correct. I received a letter from him a few days ago in which he confirmed these reports. While in To peka the other dav I met his brother who had also just heard from Mexico. His brother was of the opinion that Grant's present illness was brought on by the administration of drugs. He be lieves that efforts are constantly being made to kidnap his brother and carry him across the line while he is under the influence of drugs. Gillett ought to be faring pretty well financially. On mv own knowledge I knew that he drew $150,000 in cold, hard cash a few days before the crash came. I saw the checks with his indorsement on the back of them." ALL COINED. Minting of the Lafayette Dollars Is Completed. Philadelphia, Dec. 16. The coinage of the 50,000 Lafavette dollars at the Uni ted States mint for the Lafayette me morial commission has been completed. The money will shortly be sent out to the members of the commission in Chi cago under the care of the United States Express company. The commission, will then give the people generally an opportunity to sub scribe for the dollars at $2 each until a date vet to be decided upon, when all i the dollars not disposed of will be ta ken to the Paris exposition and there sold.

It consists of 7,926 tons of cane sugar nnd is valued at over $500,000. The freight due the ves sel is over $60,000 and the duty due the government on the cargo v iil be over $150,000. TODAY'S 31 AH KET REPORTS Chicago, Dec. 16. WHEAT Under the influence of a bearish government report wheat oday opened weak. First trades in May were under puts. E.s''12c below yesterday at CiOyVyC. Commission houses and scalpers were sellers but the market held steady for some time at the decline on buving against privileges and some buying by shorts who took cognizance of the smail receipts believing too that the British reverses in South Africa would be a suppiirt to this market. On this point there was considerable diversity of opin ion, however. Local receipts were 79 cars. It) of contract gratle. Minneapolis and lu luth reported 355 cars against 409 last week and 84!t a year ago. Later in the session part of the early loss was regained, shorts covering over Sunday. There was a better expert in quiry. Foreigners were the principal pur chasers throughout. The session was dull. May closed xwc under yesterday at 6:3sc. CORN was easier with wiieat and on the excellent weather for movement, lo cal longs letting out some of their lesser holdings. The trade was not large. Local receipts were 20S cars. At the decline there was some support, supposedly from pro vision people and tlie market steadied. May opened Ue down at 327s'fi33c. OATS were dull and featureless in fluenced by corn. May opened Jc lower at 21c. holding steady at that figure for some time. Receipts here were I05 cars. PROVISIONS were weaker. The hierh mark attained yesterday w.as too tempt ing a bait for holders and on profit taking the list declined. The shipping demand was good and on the decline the market steadied, support coming from shorts.

Chicago, Dec. 16. WHEAT The govern ment report yesterday afternoon dissi pated the la.t hope of the wheat bulls, increasing- as it did the yield of last crop to 550 million and reporting increased acreage in winter wheat country. The Argentine harvest is now under full head way and offerings from that country to the United Kingdom are very free for forward shipment. Our own clearances are falling off and the cash demand for wheat is poor. Receipts at primary points are getting lighter, but the movement at tidewater is so comparativeiy light that we are likely to have another increase in tlie visible supply Monday. Added to this tile C'imir.g week will be the usual apathy of the traders consequent upon the" holi day season and the sentimental effect of probable gold shipments from New York and possibly tignter money market. 1 can see nothing but a saeging market ahead of us for balance of the year. CORN has been bulled to a point of ex haustion as far as energy of buyers is concerned. There are indications of in creasing movomei7t from tirst hands and more liberal arrivals at points of accu mulation east of the Mississippi river. With the speculative market ever bouirht and any increase in arrivals will doubt less force liquidation of a long interest and give us lower prices. OATS were steads but with a light trade. There is good demand for export. The market is not burdened by much scattering long interest and if anything ha.s been "shorted" too freely around 24c for May. A break in other grains would probably tumble the price of oats pome, otherwise market is likelv to ndvanc. PROVISION'S The calculations of the talent including the packers have been upset by this week's advance. It is a natural outcome of the situation to which your attention has been called for the last three months. We have had a sharp ad vance in a short time now, weak holders have considerable property, tne packers are against any further advance at this season of the year. Provisions are a pur chase on breaks but don't buy them on the bulges. It is getting to be a is-smy deal. J. F. HARRIS. Chicago ijvestock "artet. Chicago. Dec. 1G.

Fales, former secretary of the Michigan club and now chairman of the Republican campaign committee on speakers and halls, has, of course, had a. large experience with that individual classified politically as a striker. He knows the methods of procedure, and thinks he can even tell by the scent whether a dime, a quarter or a half-dollar "will be compensation for the touch. Mr. Kales is not infallible. He made a speech in Pfeiffer's hall last night and when he had finished and descended from the platform an individual, who was preceded by an aromatic notice of his approach, drew near. It's a quarter, sure," said Mr. Fales to himself. Shay, can I speak t' you a minute," said the individual. "Not now," said Fales guardedly, Fparring for time. "Wait till the meet ins is ovt." The individual grew back and Fales sat down in the crowd. Five minutes later a thick breath blew over Fales' shoulder, and a thick voice said: "Shay, can't I see you just a minute?" "Go 'way from me," said Fales, irri tably. "Wait till the meeting's over. The individual went away again, but three minutes after, when Fales arose, he was there again and repeated his request for "just a minute." "You po downstairs and wait until I rotne out." said Fales. playing for de lay and hoping to escape. j!ut when Mr. Fales got downstairs the individual was there. The intellect of the assistant prosecuting attorney, trained by police court experiences, worked a few lightning revolutions, and Kales walked straight up to the indi vidual. "You're a friend of mine, aren't you?" ask"d Bingley. "Cert'niy." replied the individual. Fales -shook off his antipathy for aro matics. and. placing- his mouth close to the par of the individual, he said: "Well. I'm dead broke. Can't you end me 50 cents?" The individual took Fales into an ob scure corner, handed him a dollar, and said: "Say, 'f your committee has any translating to do into German or French, 1 want you to give me a crack at it." Fales says that it required the exer cise of a greater amount of diplomacy on his part to return that dollar with out creating- any hard feeling than would draw him through set-tos with half a dozen Third Ward strikers.

Tn connection "with the relbrat ions of Hi'1 Goethe anniversary which have .iust taken Hace in most of' the lartre cities of licrm;! 11 y an incident is ree rded of an act of kindly heroism on the part of i ioethe toward the Jews of Frankfort. Hi -connection with the Jewish Quarter of his native city is too wtMl known to all acquainted with the details of his life to 1 ced any relation here rt-aders of I ,ov es" "Life of Goethe" may find there the significant fact that the yountr poet spent ho much time In the Judenirasse that he acquired so full a knowledge of ""Viddi.-h" a to venture on writing a rOmrt play in the dialect. It in. Therefore clear that h must have numbered many friends in that part of the city, and it would afford matter of no inconsiderable in. crest to trace some of these f riend sh ips. Luirinp the early years of the eiehtoenth rontury Frankfort was the victim of sev er a 1 serious on i breaks of lire. in the course of which hundreds of houses were destroyed and many families left desti tute. 1 11 c iMseq uenee of the great mis fori unes the city experienced a terrible scare whenever smoke was seen or smelt, and a. custom arose up to announce even the smallest outbreak bv blowing of horns ringing of beds, beating of drums, clat tering of tireears. and ail that was avail able to a'traot attention in the dead of niht. quite out of proportion to the dan ger. The youthful Goethe received early impressions of these records, which sank deep into his poetic and imaginative brain. Hut that he was practical as well as imagina tive the following' incident bears testimonv: on May 1774 a Pumlay-at 2 o'clock of The night, a lire broke out in Juden gasse. by which t went y houses were de stroyed. Tt wr.s The rule to I.-ave the work of extinction and assistance to the 'com mon people," but Goethe knew no rank or cre. d when human life was in danger. Not wit hstanding. i ir surely f or get tint? for the time. That he was the son of a KaWer lieher Kath and himself a doctor at law, f hi ni h he w1 ore line clothes and silk stockings. he rushed into the throng and .leaned the tinny of helpers. His su perior bearing and position did good work. He soon managed to bring into the band of extinguishers, who up to this time had been running in each other's way by bringing the full buckets and returning with the empty ones through the same holf. which had been made in a hitrh wall separating the Judengasse from the Aller hei liuensasse. Goet he showed them o. better and quicker way through a narrow lane. At once the poor Jews rushed with their few rescued possessions along this same lane and were greeted by the heart less mob with shouts of derision, and the water whieh was so sorely needed to ex tinguish the fire was turned upon them. A few words from the young Goethe put an end to all l his demeanor. Goet he's a etion during the distress be came t he talk of the town and many of the poor Jews, who did not even know his name, spoke in loud praise of the "young gent lenia n protector who had sa ved t hem from t he mob as well as the fire. One of these, who inhabited the house "urn Pllug." found after the fire a num ber of silver "Kreuzer." which by reason of the heat had been melted into a lump. Tn memory of this disaster his "lump" in which some of the K reuzer were stii I distinctly visible, and on which some of the stamping could be traced, became a sort of hej rioom in the f a mil v. It was not till many years afterward that a gra ndson of This old in habitant of the Judengasse. who happened to be a school fellow of Ferdinand Hiller's, learned from the "Dichtuiip und Wahrheit" who was t he young gentleman hero" to whom his ancestors owed a debt of gratitude. The rdio of coins is in possession of the fam ily at the present time. A Cajnpaign Against Jules Claretie. fParis Cor. of The London Post. The campaign that has been in progress for some time past against M. Claret ie, the ma nager of t he Comedie Franca ise. resulted last night in a disturbance at the theater. The critics of M. Claretle allege that he neglects his duties and maintain that un der his management the Theater Francais is losing both its financial prosperity and its artistic pre-eminence. The hostility to M. Claretie has been greatly increased, moreover, in certain quarters by his atti tude during the .Dreyfus affair. M. Claretie is a. prolific and talented journalist, and during the Rennes trial he contributed a series of articles of a very pronounced Ireyfusard leaning to the "Temps." The controversy which has sprung up on the subject of his a bil ities as a theatrical manager, embittered by this intrusion of current politics, has ex cited keen attention in Paris, wtiere much interest is taken in everything that con cerns the Comedie Franca ise. it lias been rumored that there would be a hostile demonstration on one of the subscription nights, and yesterday even ing these anticipations of trouble' proved to be correct. The "Demi-.Mnnde'" was the. piece that was being played. There were signs during the first act that a storm was brewing. During the interval noisy discussions were in progress in the lobbies of the theater and a number of persons who were evidently present for this express purpose gave loud expression to their hostility toward M. Claretie. In the middle of the second act matters came to a crisis. There was much hissing and a storm of cries and counter cries, pesides "A bas Claretie!" many of the spectators shouted "A bas le Juifs!" and "Vive. rAmiee!" thus showing that the interests of drama Lie art were far from beig their sole preoccupation. The tu mult whs such that it was impossible to con t inue the act. M lu:los. who as the semaitder" on duty was in charge of the house, -was oblired to have recourse to the assistance of the police, who restored order after some trouble and the lapse of considerable time. One arrest was made, namely, that of a M. Gaucher, who, however, wa.s re leased on sriving his name and address in the Rue Taftbout, at which, it seems, he I not known. The disturbance over, the play was pro ceeded with. The actors were given an ovation at the close of the second act to show that it was not against them that the manif estati n had been directed.
