NEW YORK , Sept. 8 R. 0. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
Bay :
The sky Is still cloudless and no dis
quieting change has come during the week.
In splto of more warlike news about "South
Africa the Bank of England behav.w ns If
the worst possible had been fully provided
for and this country has no reason to
fear trouble from that source unless Eng
lish markets ha\o so overloaded as to need
help.
The marketing of domestic products , loth
farm and manufactured , continues surpris
ingly largo for the senson The new pos
sessions , taken together , are returning In
revenue already mnro than It costs to
clean and govern them The west nnd
outh Bill ! behave aa If It would be Imper
tinent for New York to offer money for
crop moving nnd arc still bidding for com
mercial ronni here Failures are few ,
strikes scarce and readily settled and the
passage of September 1 wlthnut pressure
means reasonable safety for months ahead.
Cotton has ripen three-sixteenths of a
cent since annual reports , regardless of
these and owing to bad accounts from
Texas. The crop of 1S98 , according to the
Financial phronlcle , was 11,235,383 bales ,
against 11.180,990 bales In 1897. southern
consumption 1,400,026 bales nnd northern
spinners' takings 2,247,072 balei , and stocks
on hand at the end of tne crop jear 392-
2SO bales , with 3,600.360 bales visible and
Invlslblo carried o\er tn all countries.
Those figures fully support estimates that
a smaller crop than Is probable this year
will suffice , but the market Just now de-
cllnre to consider an > thing except that
southern reports Indicate n much rrduced
jleld this jcar. The market for goods Is
remarkably strong thla week and previous
prices are fully sustained.
After n sharp decline wheat has risen a
quarter of n cent this week , with Atlantic
exports 2,900,966 bushels , flour Included ,
against 2,325,100 bushels last year , and Pa
cific exports 364,256 bushels , against 163,102
bushels Fast jear. Corn has also taken a
start upward , rising three-fourths of a cent ,
with exports of 3,051GG3 bushels , against
2,431,085 bushels last jear. So great a de
mand for both grains deserves notice , but
so do western receipts , 6,493,697 bushels of
wheat , against 6,774.611 bushels last > ear ,
and of corn 5,923,437 bushels , against 40-
20S.352 bushels last year. There is no hes
itancy In selling or in shipping. With ex
traordinary foreign demands for the season
farmers are sending forward at retnarkabFy
low prices extraordinary quantities of grain
Neither philosophical explanations of the
rise in iron and steel nor constant addi
tion to the number of furnaces producing
checks the advance , which has made Bes-
Bomer pig sell for $23 at Plttsburg , , gray
forge for $19 75 , anthracite No. 1 for $23 50
at Philadelphia and local coke for 521."iO at
Chicago. With the whole output of Ita 'ur-
naces sold ahead of the year the Valley
associations demand $23 65 at Plttsburg on
future contracts nnd Chicago Is selling
mainly for delivery next > ear. Finished
products are advanced In some cases $3 per
ton at a tlmo without checking tha de
mand , as for sheets at Plttsburg , with
plates advanced $2 and wire nalfs $3 per
ton.

Large contracts even at these prices are
reported , many running Into next year. In
Chicago and Pittsburg In bars and In plates
at all points , with 3,000 tons western and
largo cast bridge contracts taken by works
four to five months behind already , and
inquiry for twenty-two miles of pipe in
South Africa pending.
Tin is strong at 321-8 cents for spot ,
with 1,255 tons decrease In all visible sup
ply. Lake copper Is steady at 18H cents ,
with heavy buying for electrical use , and
load Is quiet at $4.60.
Preparations for other woolen combina
tions affect the market for goods aomowhat
which la nevertheless strong , although some
Irregularities have devcfoped In worsteds.
The wool market is much less active than
of late , with sales of only 9,225,200 pounds
nt the three chief markets , mostly terri
tory , and while prices are stiff manufac
turers are buying only for Immediate needs
Quotations for the week are unchanged , but
holders are confidently looking for a large
advance to result from the London sales.

imADSTUEET'S FIXAACIAL UEVIEW.
Confidence In the Temper of Specula
tion Ilnaed on Crop Safety.
NEW YORK , Sept. 8. Bradstreet's Fi
nancial Review tomorrow will say :
While by no means a broad market the
speculation of the last week haa been of a
very interesting description. It wag , aa has
been the case for everar weeks , largely
of a professional kind , though the nmtlc
performance of eome of the stocks which
have been subjected to manipulation by bull
pools attracted a certain measure of public
buying. Toward the end of the week the
market , In fact , assumed an overbought ap
pearance and inclined to give way under
the pressure Induced by a stiffening in the
rates for money and the more threatening
aspect of the Transvaal question abroad.
In the latter connection It may ba noted
that while London has increased Its spec
ulative holdings of American eecuiltlca
there are not believed to be any very large
amounts of such holdings to bo thrown on
our market In case of acute trouble.
It Is held that the foreign markets have
been warned so long ahead * that should
war supcrvcno the effect on the London
money market or on prices there would
bo slight. In spite , however , of the situa
tion having thus been partially discounted
It has created nervousness In International
banking circles nnd was reflected In the
speculative market here by ai Increased
unwillingness to take any decided posi
tion.
tion.Tho
The late advance In iho rate for call
money to 4 nnd 6 per cent seema to bo the
naturaf outcome of the steady absorption of
monny In business activity. Last Satur
day's bank statement was construed favor
ably because it showed n smaller decrease
In the surplus reserves than aad been an
ticipated , The belief Is , however , that the
banks have been steady losers In cash this
week , both ns to the treasury and the In
terior , and that today's bank statement
may bo a positively bad one. The rise In
call loan rates was accordingly a factor
In producing the moderate concessions that
the list generally exhibited the last two
da > s.
Not a little confidence was shown in the
temper and tendency of speculation , baBtif
on the fact that the crops are now safe
nnd that general business ls In such a fa
vorable and profitable condition , Above
nil , the "boom" In the Iron Industry and
the largo profits which concerns engaged
In It are now making has stimulated a
speculative movement In securities of that
class.
The features of the week were the rapid
rises of stocks Ilka Tennessee Coal , Colorado
rado Fuel and others of tbo sauio group.
The railroad stock list was not as active
ns the Iron and steel etocks , but a good
deaf of strength was dbown by tba Van-
derbllt and granger properties ,

FREMONT , Neb , Sept. 8 ( Special )
Near thu eastern end of the Platte \alloy In
Nebraska , whcro the long winding nikh.rn
emptied into that river , Is a small cro.k , a
tributary of the Elkhorn , an Insignificant
stream , In' the dry season only a series
of half stagnant pools fringed with a rank
growth of weeds and grassee known as the
Rawhide. It was given Its unpleasantly sug
gestive name because on Its banks fifty ycaw
ago this season one John Rhlnes , n would-bo
California forty-niner , was skinned alive by
' the Pawneeo as a punishment for the mur
der ot n joung woman of their tribe.
At the time the affair occurred the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill had not been thought of ,
west of the Missouri river was Indian coun
try and the rich bottom lands along the
Platte and Elkhorn rivers were a
favorite hunting ground of the Paw
neo. In sight of one of their prin
cipal villages , which was situated on
the south bank of the Platte about ten
mile * west of Its Junction with the Elkhorn ,
there wan a well-defined trail along which
the government later constructed the mil
itary road to old Fort Kearney , extending
from the Missouri up the Platte to the fTt.
Although not as noted as the trails from St.
Joseph and Kansas City , it was a route
which many of the Mormons took to the
"promised land" and was traveled by thou
sands of emigrants on their way to the
mountains and the coaot.
Many of the older residents of eastern Ne
braska are familiar with the tragedy of the
Rawhide , having talked with men who were
In the same party with Rhlnes and compelled
to see his sufferings and death and all the
circumstances of the case are well authenti
cated.
Hhlncn' Foollnh IIonM.
The Rhlnes party came from Wisconsin.
They crossed tao Missouri with about twenty
men and nearly as many wagons loaded with
supplies of provisions , mining tools and other
equipments. They were under the guidance
of nn experienced plalnaaian , and far better
equipped for their Journey than were many
outfits. During the trip through Iova Rhlnes
had been almost continually talking of shootIng -
Ing Indians , he had been constantly on the
watch for them , but not ono had he seen.
Ho had repeatedly told his friends that ho
wan going to shoot the first ono ho saw.
They paid little attention to his talk , re
garding him ns a wild , reckless kind of n
fellow without enough nerve to defend him
self If they were attacked , a worthless
coward who would crawl Into his wagon
nnd hide If an Indian came near the train ,
and they did not hesitate to tell him ai In
emphatic language. This talk , instead of
convincing him of the danger In which any
hcstlle spirit shown toward the Ind ano
would place the whole party , seemed to
make him more determined than ever to
make good hie threats. The second camp of
the party In Nebraska was on the west bank
of the Elkhorn about ten miles southeast of
the present city of Fremont.
On that morning. Just as they were break
ing camp , Rhlnes and a companion left
camp and a trotted through the timber along
the river. A
short distance away was a
young squaw picking up wood. No one
else was to be seen and from their camp
out on the open prairie not a sign of human
habitation was visible , nor bad they seen
any signs of Indians the night before. The
other man saw her first and called to
Rhlnea , who was a llttlo distance away ,
"Say , John , gee that Indian over there ?
Now la your chance. "
At the sound of his Tolce the squaw
stopped her work and stood Idly looking
at the two men with that stolid indifferent
exprecslon BO characteristic of her race.
Without aayiug a word , and almost at the
Instant his eyes rested on the woman ,
Rhlnes raised hla gun to his shoulder and ,
taking deliberate aim , fired. The woman
dropped dead. Rhlnes turned to his com
panion and with a smile on his face and
with a self-eaUsfled , boastful voice , an
swered , "Yes , and I'v done what I said
I'd do. I've killed him. "
The men glanced hastily through the
timber and , seeing no one , returned to
camp.
"What were you felfows shooting at , "
asked some one as they came up to the
camp.
"An Indian , " answered Rhlnee. "The
first one I saw and I killed him. "
The whole party were alarmed and un
certain which was the safest course to pur
sue , whether to turn back toward the river
in the hope of meeting some other party or
hurry ahead , trusting that some time would
elapse before the dead squaw was dlscoveerd
by her companions. The fact that she was
picking up wood was pretty convincing
evidence that there were Indians In the
vicinity , though not a sign of them was
visible.
Surrounded liy Indian * .
They started west as fast as their horses
could haul the heavy wagons over the trail.
Before they had gene a half mile they
looked over southeast toward the Platte
and there were a group ot Indians coming
toward thorn as fast as tholr ponies could
run. South of them was another and a
larger band. Hurrying on to the banks of
n small creek , they hastily haufed their
wagons into a circle. They were now sur
rounded completely by a band of several
hundred thoroughly maddened Indians and
with no possible chance ot breaking away
from them. The entire band circled round
and round tbo unfortunate party , gradually
drawing nearer and nearer.
Suddenly at Bomo unseen or unheard Elgnfc' '
they halted. Several chiefs , arrayed in
full war paint and feathcro , came out from
the line toward the wagons. They stopped
only a few yards away and made signals
indicating that they were peaceful and
wanted to have a talk , The guide and
several men left the shelter of the wagona
and went to where the Indians were stand-
jlng.
By signs and broken English and French
the chiefs told them that they wanted the
man who bad killed one of their equaws ,
They wore friends of the white man. for ,
many moons the white man's trains of !
wagons had passed over their hunting
grounda and they have not disturbed them.
An Jinlluu Suiv Him Do It.
Now ono of the white men alone had killed
the squaw ; they must have hlu blood. If
he was not given up not a white man of
the party would be spared , They would wait
there a few minutes until the white man de
cided what be would do.
The men went back to the wagons and an
excited discussion followed. The younger
element were for fighting , They thought
they could bold their own until overtaken
by another train and might pctulbly slip a
man out that night to the Missouri for help.
The more conservatlre argued that the In
diana were right , the man had committed a
crime which in a civilized community would
bo punishable by death. If they gave him.
up they could at least save themselves ; if
they fought the chances were 100 to 1
against them. It waa finally decided that
Rhlnea must be given up ,
When informed of the dec'elon. ' Rhlnes
broke down completely. He alternately ,
begged and prayed and iwore to his friends !
to protect him. Tbo cats was decided and ,
ho bad to go. Ho was brought out and
gl\on Into the custody of the chiefs
The chiefs had something more to ay.
The white men must stay and see the pun
ishment of the murderer As nil hostile
demonstrations had ceased and ns they were
completely overpowered by the Pawnees ,
they were obliged to consent. I
Iiiillnii .InMIco ( or lllitnrH.
The Indians stripped Hhlnca ot nil hla
clothing and bound him to the ground \slth
a lariat of rawhide Ills compinl ns V.CTO
placed in plain sight of him. Around the
entire parly was a circle of half-clad war- )
rlors , their faces hideous with paint , and
with scalpa dangling at tholr belts.
This Is what followed The Indians who
had tied Rhlnes pulled out his finger nails ,
next his tocnalla , then took off his scalp
and beginning at his feet and hands , liter
ally skinned htm nllvo.
Some of the jounger warriors , started
after the group of whites , brandishing their ,
knives and clubs , but at a few harsh com
mands from the chiefs resumed their places.
The other Indians then started up a war-
dance around the group , waiving their guns ,
clubs and other weapons and uttering fierce
yells , keeping llmo to the discordant notes 1
of a rude drum Above all the strange noise
arose the agonizing screams of the tortured
man as his skin was roughly and hurriedly
torn from his body.
The whlto men watched the scene almost
faint with terror at the sight. They feared
that a similar fate awaited them , though
confident that the chiefs would do all In
their power to prevent It.
At last the awful work was done A chief
picked up the strlpplngs of skin , and bran
dishing them In the air , Joined the dancers.
The drum beat faster and faster and the
dancers danced and yelled with frenzy.
When the dance reached Its climax the
drummer suddenly stopped , and the chief ,
still bearing the grim relic of Rhinos' pun-
nlshmont , with the warrors silently and
quickly went back to whcro their horses
were left In charge of some squaws , nnd
mounted and rode away.
The white men hastened to the raw and
bleeding form of their companion , which
still lay outstretched upon the grass of the
I prairie. His heartrending shrieks nnd
ngonlzod cries for help had ceased , nnd
they had hoped that death had rcleved his
sufferings , but his chest still rose and fell
showing that Hfo still remained Realizing
their utter Inability to help him they stood
still for a few minutes around him. The
movement mercifully ceased , there was a
prolonged gasp and Rhlnes was dead.
Rhinos' body was wrapped In a blanket
nnd burled on the banks of a creek. Before
the episode the Pawnees had no name for
the stream. Afterwards they gave It the
Pawnee name for rawhide nnd when the
whlto settlers took up the land and built
their homes In that \lclnlty eight or ten
jears after , they called It the Rawhide.

DETROIT. Mich , Sept. S. Commander-
In-Chief Shepard of the Sons of Veterans ,
In his report to the eighteenth annual en
campment of the organization , today rec
ommended that the order manufacture Its
own -badges and sell them at a profit for
Its own benefit.
Quartermaster General Bolton's report
showed the order to bo In good condition
financially , with J2.000 In the treasury. The
membership has fallen off about 1,000 In the
rast year , according to Adjutant Genera
Abbott's report and he ascribes this to the
fact that eo many of the young men from
whom the order's membership would come
have enlisted In the army. The rcpor
shows n total membership of 25,000 scat
tered among 1,200 branches.
The order has decided to present to each
of Its members who served In cither the
Spanish or Philippine war a badge of honor
manufactured from a Spanish cannon , whlcl
has been promised for that purpose by Sec
retary of War Root.
The convention adopted resolutions urg
ing cordial co-operation with , nnd express
ing admiration for the Grand Army of the
Republic ; deploring the present provision
of Memorial day and urging Its preserva
tion ns a holy day.
Senator Thurston of Nebraska , who Is a
member of the order , occupied almost the
entire afternoon session with nn address , In
thq courw of which he touched on the war
In the Philippines. He said that ho was
an expansionist , he considered that the ad
ministration was taking the proper course
In pushing the war against the Insurgents ,
which are classed no mere guerrillas. He
said that for Admiral Dewey to ha\o salleil
away from Manila after his victory would
ha\o been Impossible. In conclusion , ho
said ho desired to place himself on record
as sa > tng that ho considered ex-Secretary
of War Alger to have done everything that
It was po ° slble for any man to have done
under existing conditions for the good of
the troops and the conduct of the Spanish
war during his administration of the War
department.
