Speculation In products bns hardly been more
active than of late and prices generally trend
downward. Wheat rose a cent on Tuesday ,
but has since declined 2.37 cents. Western

been only 3,191,397 bushels , against 5.S23.213 .
bushels last year , while Atlanllc cxiiortH , ( lour
Included , have been for the week , about a
quarter larger than last year , nnd for two
weeks 3.S33.0W ! bueliels , against 3.C3S.123 bushels
last year. About every week some new upecu-
latlve guess by somebody Impresses many trad
ers morp than the current records of actual
movement
The cotlon mniket bus been depressed In like
manner by Mr. ICIllson's estimate that the Amer
ican crop would prove 8.G30.000 bales , but the
quantity coming Into sight has also surpassed
previous guesses , nnd Indicates a larger crop
than most npeculators estimated. The curtail
ment ot consumption In the mills Is not a guess ,
although some overestlmale It , since probably
not more than n fifth of the spindles will be
flopped a Ihlrd of each' week , for a quarter of
the year. The price declined only nn eight ! ) for

occupied a special Pullman on the Ilurllng-
ton's eastoonnd flyer , and put In the tlmo
during ] < the wait 'of ' the train In viewing
the ; architectural masterpiece at Tenth and
Mason streets.
In conversation with a Bee reporter Mr.
Dickinson said : "We wrro at Victoria much
longer than we Intended to stay. There was
a great deal of testimony taken In the
case , as you probably know. It will make
probably l ! 2,000 page\j of type-written matter.
The session wag a peculiarly Interesting one ,
not only for the matters directly concerned ,
but because this Was hut the second International
btm
national arbitration meeting ot this kind
ever held , The dispute arose from the al
leged seizure of Canadian vessels In the
Derlng ) seas by revenue cutters of the
United States , All the testimony , which was
very full , was taken at Victoria. The com
mission then adjourned to meet again at
Montreal on June 16. At that tlmo the
arguments of the counsel for both parties
will bo presented. " Mr. Dickinson Is ono
of the attorneys for the United States ,
ofD In reply to a question on to politics , Mr.
Dickinson said : "No , Indeed , my- absence
from this country has not been long enough
to lessen my Interest In political matters.
toor always follow matters concerning the gov
ernment of this bountry with the keenest
Interest. I bellevo wo are approaching an
era ot good times. FYom his statements ,
from his acts , and from his general con
duct , I bellevo that Mr. MeKtnley's adminis
tration will ho ono for the greatest good to
the bountry , and that he will have the sup
port of all good democrats. "
"What Is your .opinion of the men so far
announced as members of Mr. McKlnloy's
cabinet , Mr. Dickinson ? "
"You must excuse mo from expressing any
opinion on that subject. Has It been decided
yet whether Ilanna Is to go Into the senate ? "
'Mr. ' Dickinson was still waiting for an
answer as the train pulled out.

The faculty , students and other friends of
the Presbyterian "Theological seminary had
the very great pleasure of listening to two
admirable lectures by Hov. Dr. J. D. Coun
termine of Beatrice on Thursday. The topic
of the doctor' ? lecture was "Comparative Re-
Mglons. "
Going back to the pqrlod mentioned In
scripture , when men abandoned the worship
of the true God , the doctor presented In a
most interesting manner the pccuon
llai'ltles of Fetishism , of the re-
llglon of early , Egyptians , of RrahJ11
mlnlsm , of Confucianism nnd of Boodlsm ,
and demonstrated that while from n human
standpoint all these syjrtems may be sa'ld ' to
possess some good .elements , they lacked
that which demouJtrates the divine charac
ter of the Christian fifth.
The doctor has pj-pmjsul to come again In
about two weeks am ! deliver two additional
lectures 'on this same tliemc , thus completing

RATES TO THE PRIZE FIGHT

What the Bate is Going to Bo.

Atay Mnkc II One
For tlie Itiiiinil
M
Discussion of cheap rates to Ihe Corbott-
Pltzslmmons prize fight In Nevada still con
tinues to agitate the passenger portion of the
railway world. That there Is going to bo
n big movement to , the fistic carnival U a
foregone conclusion , and there Is not a
single transcontinental line that Is not reach
ing out after all the sports It can grip for
the occasion. The movement to secure a
rate of ono fare far the round trip from
roads In the Western Passenger association
has failed and It Is now known that moro
than ono road negatived the proposition.
The Southern Pacific has Just announced
to the lines In the Western Passenger associ
ation a basing rate of $35 for the trip from
Ogden to Carson City and return. This Is
practically a rate of ono tare for the round
trip. It will undoubtedly he adopted by
the lines' east of Ogden. as they have no
other choice In the matter , the Southern Pa
cific bolng'tho only line from Ogden west. If
the roads In , the Western Passenger associ
ation adopt this < haslng rate the rate from
Omaha to Carson City and return will be
$ C5 , from Chicago to Carson City and return
the rate will bo $77.50. These
rates are $13 higher than It was
at first supposed they would be. This In
crease of $13 Is accounted for In this way :
The Southern Pacific will charge $ S more
between Ogden and Reno than was sup
posed. As the light will be at Carson City
Instead of Reno , another $2 has to bo tacked
on , Of the Increase of $13 , the Southern Pa
cific will get $10. The lines that get the
haul between Omaha and other Missouri
river points will get but $3 of the addi
tional $13.
It is rumoreil that the two big lines of
the Western Passenger association will put
In a rate of ono faro for the round trip , the
association the contrary notwithstanding.
The identity of the lines that threaten to act
Independently In the matter Is not-known ,
but from their activity In the- matter It Is
generally suposed Uiat two of Omaha's lead
ing railroads are the ones In mind. Since
the defeat of the one-fare-for-the-round-trlp
proposition , no other motion for a reduced
rate hns yet been made to the association.
CHICAGO , Peb. 12. A telegram received
from Carson City today by Slier and Hasan ,
signed by Dan Stuart , says that the an
nounced basing rate of 1 1-5 , or $34.50 $ from
Ogden to Carson , will probably be supple
mented ' by a further reduction of the extra
one-fifth. This would make the round trip
from Chicago something llko $02.50 and from
Missouri river points $50.

Another version ot Cripple Creek Is pre
dicted on all sides for the Black Hills of
uSe
South Dakota during the coming spring.
Railroad men report that the Interest In the
gold discoveries Is real and not fictitious ,
and In evidence ot this statement , offer re
ports of the business transacted at the railway
powa
way stations there , especially at new sta
tions , and to the reports of superintendents
asking for increased railway facilities.
Should the gold fever spread to any alarm-
g extent , a good movement toward the
"Black Hills would undoubtedly pass through
this city , as both the railroads leading there
have their start here.
Many sensational reports of vast fortunes
made within a few days have come from
thi Black Hills and are looked upon with
the same suspicion that naturally attaches
Itself to all boom stores. A mining en
gineer of some prominence recently examined
the territory where the fevsr Is nt present
located and makes a report to an Omaha

that ; have boon made for the gold discoveries
thorc. Among ether things , he says : "Tho
Ragged Top country covers about twonty-
five square miles. U U comparatively
smooth and accessible. The Ragged Top
SITmi
mountain Is a large hill covered with huge
bowlders , consisting principally of trachyte.
The : formallcnr of the country la vertical , the
veins comliiK almost to the surface and lying
between walls of cryslalllzed lime rock. Im
pregnated with Iron , witn occasional seams
of hematite. The ore Is siliceous , though It
contains from 2 to 3 per cent of lime. The
veins vary from two to five foot in width"
and are of great depth. They have a gen
eral courco through the country from the
northeast to the southwest , and extend un
broken and of uniform value for many miles.
Those verticals have been found from fifty
tovc 100 feet apart and run parallel. The
veins are located by the existence of out-
cropplngs of float , which He In reefs. The
float frequently assays $200 to the ton In
gold. Miners have found It profitable to
ship the float. The ore Is unusually rich ,
sometimes ; running as high as $3,000 a ton.
The average value of ere shipped from the
principal camp Is about $100 a tnn.
"Development work Is going on vigorously.
Good wagon roads have been built In every
direction. The discovery of rich gold oto
the limestone Is a new feature to the
mining Industry of the Black Hills and-has
upset many mining notioiij. The country
has licen traversed and prospected for years ,
but as the Bottlers were not aware that any
thing of value could be obtained from the
limestone ' formation development work was
never befoio undertaken. " of
