that careless, unconcerned manner
which was so much commented upon
during his trial and at the time of his

fore him of never again seeing the out

rule holds good that Sunday is to be
counted in the five days which the con
stitution permits the governor to hold
bills, after the adjournment of the leg
islature, then there are two other ve
toes which will be in the - same boat
with the Omaha charter. These are
the Ricketts bill,- permitting intermar
riage between whites and blacks, and

RISE IS NOT GENUINE.
SOME HIGH PRICES NOT JUSTI
FIED BY THE DEMAND.
Least Satisfactory Feature of the Trade
Situation Is the Increase In Specula
tive Business—Wool Production In
creasing—Week's Failures.
New York. April 22.—R. G. Run &
Co.'a weekly report of trade says:
"In every speculative department busi
ness Is growing, but this Is really the
least satisfactory feature of the situa
tion. Cotton, oil, and wheat climb
above the export price, so that the mar
keting of products abroad must be
checked, and money Is absorbed which
ought to be emptied In productive In
dustry and In distribution of products
to consumers. There Is no evidence
that cotton Is In larger demand than It
was when the price was a cent lower,
but prices have been so low for months
that an upward movement was easy
without much reason, though stocks
here and abroad are 300,000 bales larger
than they were at the same date after
the greatest crop ever produced hereto
fore, and spinners here and abroad
have tuften about 1,600,000 bales more
than they have consumed.
"The rise tends to prevent the de
crease of acreage, which Is Its one rea
sonable excuse. Wheat has advanced
over three cents during the last week,
and the western receipts are small,
only 1,002,846 bushels, against 1,766,829
last year, but Atlantic ports for three
weeks of April have been only 5,666,
481 bushels, flour Included, against
5,680,366 last year, and .there Is no Indi
cation that the foreign demand will In
crease, while the prospects for this
year's crop are considered excellent.
V estern receipts are not large, and It
would be strange If they were with
prices so low but advancing. Exports
continue to Indicate that the European
demand will not be particularly heavy
this season.
Outside of speculative markets the
most Important feature Is the rise in the
price of beef, which is largely due to
the control of sources of supply by a
few strong corporations. There ought
to be, but apparently Is not, sufficient
power In the hands of the government
to meet any such conspiracy against
the public, and the proposal of Secre
tary Morton to admit Mexican cattle
and cattle from Canada on easy terms
for the benefit of consumers Is heartily
commended, though it is not likely to
have much Influence.
“In Iron and steel the situation Is
rather disappointing, although the out
put continues large, as the demand for
finished goods does not seem to in
crease. It Is still an open question
whether the consumption will support
the manufacture at the present rate,
which Is at least an eighth below the
present maximum.
"The cotton mills are encouraged by
Improving prices and are. fairly busy.
Sales of wool at the three chief eastern
markets have been 18,334,300 pounds for
three weeks of April, against 14,602,800
last year, which Indicates that the pro
duction of goods Is at present larger
than it has been at any other time for
nearly two years, and, while foreign
competition Is seriously felt In some
branches, the manufacturers are mak
ing a vigorous effort to retain the home
market, even In lines which they at
one time expected to abandon.
“Failures during the last week have
been 241 In the United States, against
219 last year, and 34 In Canada, against
46 last year.”
OUTLAWS CAPTURED.
Shots Exchanged and a Sheriff Is Prob
ably Fatally Wounded.
Unlontown, Pa., April 22.—The band

Turner, is still at large. The prisoners
are George and William Smltley, Archi
bald Patterson and George Harvey.
They were taken only after a fierce
struggle, In which Sheriff Shaw was
probably fatally wounded. The final
combat was a hand to hand fight in
which over fifty shots were fired. Not
until tlie bandits were crowded into a
narrow corner and could fight no more
did they surrender. Smltley will be
held for trial on a charge of murder in
case Sheriff Shaw dies.

reported."

FOREIGN TRADE PALLING.

Ottawa, Ont., April 22.—Trade returns
for the year ended June 30, 1894, have
been issued. They show an aggregate
foreign trade of $230,618,000, as com
pared with $240,270,000 in 1893, a de
crease of about $10,000,000. The exports
to the United States are said to have
been $7,000,000 less than in 1893. The
aggregate trade with the United States,
which was $90,000,000 as far back as
1874, amounted to only $88,000,000 last
year. The aggregate trade with Great
Britain, which was $108,000,00 in 1874,
was but $100,000,000 in 1874. The decline
in imports from the previous year was
$5,500,000 and the decrease in duties col
lected was about $2,000,000. The Cana
dian exports of agricultural products
fell off from $22,000,000 In 1893 to $17,
077,000 in 1894.
Representative) Hitt In Danger.
Washington, April 22.—The gravest
fears are entertained that Representa
tive Robert R. Hitt of Illinois may not
live to see the setting sun. It has been
known for days that the distinguished
Illinois congressman was seriously ill,
but as he had been confined to the
house since the adjournment of con
gress and had many ups and downs in
his illness it was supposed he was only
suffering from an acute attack of in
flammatory rheumatism.
Late last evening it became known
that Mr. Hitt had suffered a severe re
lapse and that medical aid had been
summoned from New York. Friends of
the family say there is but little hope of
recovery, although the popularity of the
Illinois leader is so great and his loss
would be so deeply felt that all are
inclined to hope for the best.

Ill* Desire I* to Obtain an Access to

rope.
New York, April 20.—A special dis
patch from Washington says: "Russia
was fully aware of and gives secret but
hearty approval to the conditions for
peace exacted by Japan. This Is vouched
for on the very best authority In this
country. An agreement between RuBsla
and Japan, said to have existed from the
outbreak of the war, included a prom
ise that Russia should have access to
the sea for Its great trans-Siberian rail
way. Every step Japan has taken Is said
to have been with the knowledge and
approval of the czar, and notwithstand
ing misleading dispatches from St.
Petersburg as to the possibility of that
government being displeased it is main
tained that should any other European
power undertake to prevent the carry
ing out of Japan’s program Russia will
stand at Japan's back.
"China, it is asserted, will under the
conditions agreed upon throw open to
civilization over 100,000,000 square miles
of the richest territory in the empire,
having a population of over 200,000,000,
now practically kept from intercourse
with the outside world. Six closed cities,
the largest In the empire, are also
thrown open, and three great rivers, the
Yang Tse Kiang, Canton and Shanghai,
are to be free to the commerce of the
globe. It is further said that China has
promised to consent to extensive river
and harbor improvements, including
dredging of these rivers for hundreds of
miles, so that ships of the deepest draft
can reach unknown inland cities and
markets.”
Another special dispatch from Wash
ington gives an account of an inter
view with Shinichiso Kurino, the Jap
anese minister. Asked what would be
the effect of the treaty upon China he
said:
"Whether China will change her pol
icy is doubtful; but it will probably
teach her one good thing—to increase
her army and navy strength. She has
had a lesson that should not be wasted
on her. I cannot see any danger of
European opposition. A country will
hardly Interfere unless it is distinctly
affected by our proposed changes. It
has no right to otherwise.”
Discussing the situation in Japan and
the new treaty with the United States
Naomoyn Hasquchl, the Japanese con
sul in this city, says that the present
Japanese tariff will remain in force per
haps another twelve months. It will not
be revised until treaties are completed
with all the nations, and so far com
pacts have been made only with the
United States and with England.
CONFLICTING WAR TALES.
flne Courier Has It That Three Men
Lose Life In Battle.
Guthrie. Ok.. April 20.—There are so
many conflicting; stories brought by
courriers from Tishomingo that it is
difficult to ascertain the truth of the

shot dead and five wounded. Another
story Is to the effect that the full-blood
Indians have been persuaded to take up
arms against the government by the in
surrectionists. Filled with firewater,
the Indians are scouring the country,
ransacking the homes of the quie farm
ers, committing outrages, and other
wise terrorizing the whole nation. Gov
