HATE CHANGED THEIR TUNE

Indiana Democratic Clerks in the Departments Turning Their Coats. Thej Have Quit Scofirs at the Civil-Service Law and Everything Republican, and Propeso to Hold On to Their Places, POLITICAL TURNCOATS. Indians Democrats Who Have Smothered Their Opinions for the Sake of Place, fepeclal to tho JndLnaiKli Jonmat Washington, July 6. "Tho ono thing that strikes mo as quite strange' said an old hanger-on around the departments, "is tha remarkable diiFercnco in tho utterances of a class of clerks in the departments from Indiana within the past few months. Thcro wero no more offensively partisan Democrats than theso Indiana fellows all last lummer. They scoffed at the civil-service law, sneered at tho Kepublican nominee, wore by Voorhees, and declared their unqualified hatred to everything with the name of Kepublican attached, and openly boasted that their resignations would be at tho disposal of their superiors tho moment the political atmosphere in tho "White House should change. I have noticed, however, that theso same Indiana peoplo are the quietest lambs in the departmental service to-day. Thero were three or four who used to gather every afternoon, in front of a restaurant on one of the side streets, and their denunciations of the Kepublican party, and their laudations of Voorheea, and the sainted Hendricks, conld be heard for blocks. This little party seems to have thrown up its charter, and no more Catherines are held now. In fact, each of the crowd seems bent on getting his .inealsas far away from his fellows as posv sible. I think that their work in the department is very much better than it used to be, and I have no doubt tb.it the public, service is benefited to that extent, out it shows how easy it is for men to chauge their political opinions, or at least to smother them, when they fear that their bread and butter is in danger. It is only another evidence of the demoralizing effect upon tho manhood of a man which a government position has.'1 PANTS VS. TROUSERS. How the Commandant at Annapolis Was Compelled to Recognise the Former Word. Special to the Imliauapvllii J Ximal. Washington, July C An ex-cadet at Annapolis tells a very interesting story of that admiral foundry, which is of interest at the present time because it shows how the present naval attache of the United States legation in London was taken down a peg. This attache is Commander JIcCalla, who has a gallant record as an officer of the Marine Corps. Along about 1871 or 1875, somewhere in that neighborhood, he was the acting commandant of the Academy at Annapolis, and he was very strict not only in his discipline but in his demands upon the young men in his care in the matter of the use of language. lie utterly tabood the word "pants," and whenever a young middy made out a requisition for a pair of trousers and called them pants his requisition was sure to be refused. On oue Sunday morning during inspection. Cadet blidell Rogers was singled out by the acting commandant because of the dilapidation which was apparent in his aether garments. He explained that he had a very slim amount due him, and that re?uisition day would not come around again or several weeks. He was ordered to secure a pair of trousers and to do it at once. Under the rules he had two weeks in which to comply with this demand. The next day he made out a special requisition for "one pair of pants." Twenty-four hours later the requisition was returned to him marked "refused." He knew well the reason, but didn't propose to admit that trousers were not pants. He made another requisition the following day, but again it was returned marked "refused Without saying a word the cadet put the papers away in his pocket, and on the next inspection day was severely reprimanded for failing to obey instructions about securing new garments. The indignant commandant marked ten demerits against the joung man for gross violation of orders. From these demerits young Roberts took an appeal to the Admiral. The Admiral at the time happened to be his father. He wrote out a full statemeut of the case and attached as exhibits A and B, tho two requ sit ions, with the word "Refused' marked on the back of them. Admiral Rogers, in an elaborate opinion, remitted the demerits, and held that there was nothing in the regulations to compel the young man to give these very essential garments any particular name, and as they were generally known to the world, at least on this side of the Atlantic, as pants, pants would serve to define them. From that timo on McCalla was disgusted, but he was always compelled in the future to honor a requisition for a pair of pants," Erovided the middy had enough money to is credit to pay for them. THE WORLD S FAIR IX 1893. Washington Would Like to Have It Providing Congress Furnishes the Money. Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, July C Just now ihe board of promotion of the proposed World's Fair are very actively engaged in working up sentiment in behalf of the exposition which it is proposed to hold in Washington in 1802. Washington real-estate owners and business men generally expect great returns from this exposition, and they are using all sorts of argument to show why Washington is a very much better place than New York for holding such an exposition. Unfortunately, however, Washington lacks men who are willing to put up their money to advance a project which is something more than local in its design. Washington people seem to have grown to the idea that nothing can be done here without congressional aid, and while they have spent some money and a great deal of valuable time in trying to induce Congress to appropriate money for this proposed exposition during tho past two years, they fail to come to time with the necessary funds themselves. New York city, on the other hand, has lots of business men who are ready to come down handsomely with the cash in advance, and it is said for the metropolis that it will not ask aid from Congress to the extent of one dollar if it can get the government to sanction tho project for an exhibition there. It would be a great benefit to Washington people as well as Washington institutions if the proposed three Americas' exposition could be held in this city, but in spite of the encouraging resolutions which have been passed by boards of trade all over the country from time to time, there is no present reason to believe that the scheme will prove successful. SMALL HR POSTAGE STAMPS. tlow It Is Proposed to Make the Change Without Incurring Extra Cost. Tpec!al to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, July C "What is the idea in advertising for proposals for a smaller postage stamp than those now in use!'' was a question put to Third Assistant Postmaster-general Hazen by your correspondent to-day. General Hazen replied: "It is not yet decided whether the smaller stamp shall be substituted for the larger one, but the change in color will entail some additional expeuse, and I think that this can be reduced again by the proposed reduction in size: that is to say, the cost of the higherpriced inks which it is proposed to use on tho binaller stamp will bo offset by the suia. It r quantity required." "Has there been any particular demand for a smaller-sized postage stamp!" "No. tho size does not seem to have troubled the general public. It was the color of the two-cent variety ainst which the protest was made." When was it decided to change its color!" "The fate of the 'sickly pale green' was decided some months ago. It hasbeen only a question as to itiat when the change should be made, and we decided to wait until a new contract was awarded." There was a til l some years ago When t Ullitcd Stile u.t'l a, iuiaU?!- stamD

than that now iu vogue. It was during the period when, instead of vignettes, the stamps wcm adorned with small historical pictures. This issue did not last very long, and it is quito probable that it a change is made to a smaller stamp again that it will not be followed by the substitution of landscapes and other picturesque scenes for tho head of promiueut Americans, which have become features of our postal-stamp issues. ITCNNY CUUHCII ROW.

A Colored Pra&cher Arrested for Stealing a Church Key now He Got Even. Special to tha Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jub C There was a funny case in tho police court to-day. The Rev. Ccorgo Berkley, pastorof the Bethel Baptist Church, colored, was arrested and locked up at tho Eighth precinct station last night upon a charge of larceny. In other words, ho was accused by certain members of his congregation of stealingthe key to the house of worship in which he had oiliciatedon Sundays for several years. According to Mr. Berkley's story, he felt called upon to expel from membership in his church eleven prominent members of his congregation, including two deacons, who were charged with -ioreliction of duty and conduct unbecoming Christians. Tho cause of this expulsion was a conspiracy on the part of theso eleven members to expel Mr. Berkley from the pulpit and to restore the Rev. Mr. Harris, ex-pastor of the chnrcn, who was desirous of regaining his old charge. Tho sexton sympathized with tho insurrectionary party, and Mr. Berkley having received information that the rebels were intending to seiz8 tho church before Sunday and keep him and tho regular congregation out of it, went to the houso of the 6exton and seized the keys; whereupon he was arrested and taken to the police station, where he succeeded in securing his release by depositing collateral, but while . he was behind the bars the opposing faction in his congregation gained access to the church by breaking in a back window. This gave Mr. Berkley an opportunity to get even with the people who had caused him to suffer the indignity of an arrest, and he immediately swore out warrants against eleven of them, who were arrested and taken before the police judge to-day. Tho latter gave them a fatherly lecture, told them ther had disgraced themselves, and advised, them, to settle their troubles amicably. Ho thereupon dismissed tho case. ... MINOR MATTERS. Secretary Wlndom Takes Measures to Protect Himself from Importunate Callers. . Washington, July 6. Secretary Windom has abandoned the practice of holding publio receptions, and will hereafter receive visitors by card only. He says that he can not give proper attention to the business of .the department if he is compelled to listen constantly to the appeals of office-seekers. Ever since tho 4th of March ho has devoted the greater part of each day to these callers, and has finally concluded that he has about all the information he needs on the subject. He says he was compelled to resort to the new rule because of the lack of consideration shown by certain importunate callers .who repeated the same story to him day after day. He will, however, continue to see all persons who call on business, merely reserving to himself the right to determine whether tho character of the business is such as to require a personal interview.

Senator Eustls, of Louisiana, tells a good story at his own expense. Several days ago he prepared a ppeech, which he proposed delivering at Tammany Hall, July 4. He sent the manuscript so a type-writer to be copied. When the manager of the establishment returned the manuscript he remarked: "That's a rattling good Democratic speech, Senator." Senator EuKtis, who knows a good thing when he sees it, thought so, too, but he rcmarkod blandly: "Ah, you read It, I see.' "No said tho man, "I did not, but the young lady who copied it did. She 1s a stanch Republican, and several times during the operation I heard her exclaim: 'That's a lie; that's a horrid, nasty Democrat o lie!' so I knew you most bo rreachlng good Democratic doctrine.

SWITZERLAND'S BOLD STAND

Bismarck Attempts to Dictate to theLittle Republic and Is Coldly Kepulsed. German Secret Agents Will Be Allowed on Swiss Soil, but They Mast Not Follow the Footsteps of the Expelled Wohlegenmth. ' CANNOT BE COERCED. Switzerland' Resolute Stand Against Outside Interference with Her Affairs. Fpeclal to tho Indianapolis Journal. London', July 6.--Every lover of freedom has rejoiced over the resolute stand which Switzerland has mado against the overweeuing pretensions of Bismarck. If Germany had been bent on alienating Swiss sympathies and exciting against herself independent European opinion, sho would not havo acted otherwise than sho has done. The Swiss were serionsly disturbed by tho Locfcspitzel atlair in March of 1688. The debates which took place in the German Reichstag in reference to that incident showed that a whole swarm of spies or German agents was being maintained by German money on Swiss soil; that theso agents were too often agents provocatures, and thero endangered tho peace and security of tho country whose hospitality they abused. However, that storm blew over, and the Swiss returned to their normal ways of thinking about German', which, at all events, as far as wbat is commonly called German-Switzerland is concerned, are friendly and sympathetic enough. Switzerland is none tho less determined to get rid of these dangerous vermin, if -it has tho opportunity, and the- opportunity was supplied jy the extraordinary indiscretions of the German Inspector of Police Wohlegemuth. who was proved to have done his nest to excite a socialistic agitation in Switzerland in order to help him out in providing material for an interesting report to his superiors. Wohlegemuth was promptly expelled from Swiss territory. The German government, however, and still more the German semiofficial press, took the matter up and mado a great hue and cry. Prince Bismarck declared that all Germany wanted of Switzerland was the power to keep an eye, by meaus of secret agents, on the doings of her enemies in the republic. The Swiss government immediately replied that as long as a German secret agent behaved himself and neither breaks the law nor tucites .to breaking it he would be tolerated, but any claim that such ngent should have immunities nnd privileges which would not be granted to any ordinary foreigner could not be lin-. tened to for a moment. Prince Bismarck also asked the Swiss government to refuse admission to any foreigner not provided with papers from his own government. This preposterous demaud was civilly but decidedly refused. The controversy has not grown cooler as it has proceeded, and recently Germany laid a complaint before the Federal Council of the habitual abuse, as it alleged, by Switzerland of tho rights of the asylum. It has been widely published that this protest was indorsed by Russia, Austria and Italy, and large conclusions have been drawn from the adhesion to it of a liberal power like Italy. In point of fact Italy has had nothing whatever to do with the protest. Moreover, though Kussia also made presentations to Switzerland she refused to join in common diplomatic action with Germany, while Austria, on her part, only supported Germany with reservations. The one thing which all three powers were agreed in pressing upon Switzerland was the demand for a better organization of that portion of tho Swiss police which looked after foreigners on Swiss territory. The Swiss Federal Council has already taken a step in this direction, a step, it should be added, which was in contemplation some weeks before the Wohlegemuth ailair was even heard of. It Las appointed a Procurator-general to prosecute any foreigners living in Switzerland who endanger either international' peace or internal securitw and Swiss onin-i ion appears to be pretty well agreed as to & me auvisaDiiuy oi exercising a closer supervision upon foreigners of a dangerous' type than has hitherto been the case. The German semi-official press should not have dragged tho question of Swiss neutrality into the discussion, as it hadnothing whatever to do with it. Swiss neutrality is secured, first and foremost, by the strong arms of her own sous; secondly, by the mutual jealousies of neighbors; thirdly, by, the sense of Europe. The German Liberal papers strongly condemn Prince Bismarck s action in the matter, and express surprise and regret that the London Standard aud other English Tory organs should indorse tho Chancellor's , views. The Berliner Tageblatt also adds: 'There is no sacrifice, either of English tradition or English interest, which Ixrd Salisbury and his obedient henchmen will notmakofor Prince Bismarck. They aro only too glad to have a chance of blacking his boots. But the English people are not a nation of boot-blacks, aud the voice of Swiss liberty, 'that mighty voice which the English poet celebrated, will never fall upon their ears in vain." Not an Idle Menace. Copyright 1889, by the New York Associated Presa. Berlin, July C Prince Bismarck's letter to the German Minister at Berne published in the Relehsanzeiger on Thursday, have been the prelude to a general outcry ly the seml-ofiicial press, menacing the neutrality of Switzerland. The Chancellor's intention in publishing the letters, which was at tint supposed to be merely for the purpose of justifying his attitude toward Switzerland, has invested with a serious meaning the letter in which he says that if Switzerland continues to permit revolutionists to threateu the lninternaL peace and security of the German empire, the powers will be aked to consider 8 wins neutrality. This Li not an idle menace. An exchange of communications has resulted in an identical policy being adopted by the Anstrinn and Italian government? to compel Switzerland to comply with the demands of Bismarck for a revision of the laws aifecting refugees. The appointment of a new Procureur-general at lierao indicates a desire on the part of the Bondezratn to amend the. laws In the direction of Prince Bismarck's desires. The Chancellor is thus likely to accomplish his immediate object. Beyond that the dispatches lay a basis for future action. Some of the semiofficial papers discover that the existence of Switzerland Is anomalous, even if the Anarchists who Bismarck declares nre iiubiudered in thetr work of disturbing Germany, were f tamped out. For instance, an article appears tn the Bambgcr Nachrichten, serenely proving that Switzerland has no ralsou d'etre. It declares that in tbe event of certain Europeans changes, the German cantons ought to be absorbed by Germany, and the Italian cantons by Italy. The ideas concenilner tho matter are meantime aeademic, but withal, pregnant with dancer. To-night's advices from Berne show that the government Is alive to he possibilities of the situation. The Bundezrath has concluded to negotinte a loan of 20,000,000 marks to provide rifle for the army. A syndicate of bankers, headed by the National Bank of Switzerland,, will float the loan. - THE WAK IN 11A1TJ. Hip poly te't Army Encamped Near Port-au-Prince, AValtinsr to Occupy It by Strategy. New Yokk, June 6. Tho schooner Wm. H. Jones arrived at this port to-day, direct from tho Black Republic. She left Hippoiyte's headquarters on June 20, with a cargo of logwood for this city. Captain Hounsle brings the latest news from the scene of the' insurrection. lie says there were no indications of hostilities when the schooner left port. Tho United States men-of-war Ossipee and Kearsargq were in tho vicinity of Cape llaytian, the latter having arrived on June 25, escorting the American steamer Caroline Miller.

unmanageable at the sight of the opportunity to pillage the capital. Ilippoly te calculated to secure possession of Port-au-Princo by strategy. He counted upon surrounding the city at night, overcoming the enemy's guards,and taking Legitime a prisoner, with a few of his trusted followers. Two of Hippolyte's gun-boats, tho Ajax and the Carmelalet, left Cape llaytian for Gonaives the day before the Joiies.4left port. The latter was in a very nnseaworthy condition. The Captain observed that Ilippoly te's war vessels treated all theAmerican craft enteringCape llaytian with great respect. When his schooner entered the harbor, the colors of tho Haytiau war vessels were dropped repeatedly in recognition of the stars and stripes at the schooner's masthead. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The Seizure of a German Boat in Africa by an English. Admiral Denounced. Copyright 1SS9. by the New York Associated Press. Berlin. July 6. The seizure of Dr. Peters's steamer Xeara has been the subject of a communication between the Einin relief committee and Count Herbert Bismarck. The committee asked the government to protest against tho action of the English admiral, but Count Herbert declined. The Cologne Gazette admits the legality of the Bcizuro under tho blockade, but denounces the real motive of the seizure, and adds that tho expedition is opposed to English comrneroial interests, and is intended to interfere with the trade of the English African Lake Company. This unfriendly action will prejudice Germany's prestige in Zanzibar and along tho coast. The paper expresses surprise that the English admiral should have been permitted to stop the expedition. t In return.it says, a German warship might go to tho mouth of the Zambesi and watch for and seize ships that carry arms to the lakes company.

The Pennsylvania Determined in Its Course Effect of the Reduction. Chicago, June 6. A morning paper says: As it was to be expected, the reduction in corn and wheat rates from a 25-cent to a 20-cent basis, Chicago to New York, applying only on Philadelphia and Baltimore business, has stirred up a great row among tho Central Traffic Association roads and the trunk lines, and it is now certain that the reduced rates will bo adopted by all roads, and to all seaboard points, but not only will the low tariff be applied on wheat and corn, but it will also involve tho rates on oats. Hour and mill stuffs, and probably provisions, which never could bo maintained at more than 5 cents above the grain rates. Chairman Blanchard is making herculean efforts to keep tho new rates out of New Y'ork and New England, and prevent them from spreading to other commodities, in which efforts he has the active support of the Vandalia line; but judging from the results of a meeting of the Central Tratlio managers, yesterday, thero is no possible chance to prevent a general collapse. The Pennsylvania Company has given notice that oil July 10 it will put into effect the 20-cent wheat and corn tariff, not only to Philadelphia and Baltimore, but also to New York, and apply proportionate rates to Pittsburg and Allegheny. The Grand Trunk has announced that if the Pennsylvania puts the new tariff in effect it will make the same to all seaboard points, including Boston and New England, and also reduce the rates on oats. Hour and other mill stuff and grain products. Tho Chicago & Atlantic aud Wabash, it is understood, take the same position. President Newell, of the Lake Shore, is strongly opposed to a reduction in rates, and says ho does not care if all the other roads adopt the reduced rates the Lake Shore will not. He claimed that the eastbound roads will not get any more grain at the redneed rates than they did at the old rates. The only effect the reduction can have will be to compel corresponding cuts iu local rates from interior Eastern points and inflict serious loss of revenue on the roads. President Newell's position causes somo surprise, as his road and the two other Vandeibilt lines, the Michigan Central and Nickel-plate are the heaviest sufferers from lake competition, and it would seem to be to their interest to make rates that would turn some of tho business to their roads. It is evident that Mr. Newell is lighting in the interest of tbe New York Ccutral, which would suffer heavily from a reduction in rates. This road now gets the bulk of the grain business going to Buffalo by the lake lines, and at the present 2--cent rate its propoition, Builalo to New York, is about 3 cents more than it would be at a 20-cent rate. ; Neither threats nor entreaties appear to have any effect on the Pennsylvania people. They are confident that the Baltimore fc Ohio tariff is in to stay, and they do not propose to abandon their through tariff to the Baltimore & Ohio. The Chesapeake & Ohio, it is understood, has withdrawn from the agreement which allowed it differential rates on this business. It demanded not only to be allowed to make the same rates as was being made by Jake and rail, but also asked to be allowed to deduct the amount from the rate tho lake carriers pay for insurance. This concession was declined. Wliat the Pennsylvania Propose to Do. gr. Iouis, July 6. The cut in rates on wheat and cot n in car-load lots from East St. Louis to the seaboard, announced by the Vandalia last night, aa given In the Associated Press report of last evening, seems to have been unexpected by Eastern Kncs, and not a few denials of the reliability of .the announcement were Indulged in. Bukthe six-cent cut was made,iieverthelcssr atG o'clock last night, tbe tariff sheet having been issued by Oeneral Freight Agent Ilibbard, of the Vandalia. In an inhirvlow with an Associated Press reporter, to-day, Mr. llllbanl raid: 'There Is no mistake ahou the tariff heet Issued last night.

cora ooming from Nebraska, Kansas, and elsewhere, from East St, Louis to tho seaboard at 20 cents, and wheat and corn In St. Louis and East St. Louis elevators to its same destination for 20 cents We think our proposition the fairest to the puMio at large, and wholly devoid of favoritism, and are wUlluc to accept the verdict of the shippers on that score." "Why was this cut made. Mr. UlbbardP "I have nothing to say. save that I am acting under Instructions. Yesterday D. T. McCabe, assistant general freight agent, representing all lines of the Pennsylvania west of Pittsburg, wired all the freight agents of tbe -Pennsylvania lines in the West that it had been decided to make the rate ou wheat and corn 20 cents from Chicago to New York the basinc rate and the tariffs were at once printed and sent out. and the new rate will be legally effective on July 10." The following telcjrrnm from (ieorpe R. Blanchard, of Chicago, chairman of the Central Tratlio Association, was received In St. Louis this afternoon:

The Chicaeo freicht committee, at a meetmic this moraine, decided not to meet the action of the Pennsylvania aud the B. fc O. companies. pending, in somo instances, furtner instructions from their managers, ana in others the action of the meetinir called at New York next week. It Is hoped that the meeting may be as full as praetieaDie," This dispatch shows conclusively tnat the Pennsylvania Lias entered tbe light, and with it wm naturally co the vanaana anaauoi tne Pennsylvania feeders. Action or the Dig Four and H. Jfc O. Baltimore, Md., July C.-Tho Baltimore & Ohio has not taken any action In regard to the order of President Ingalls, of the Big Four, for a cut of 2 cents below the new rate of the Baltimore & Ohio on freight east from Chicago. A prominent official of the Baltimore fe Ohio said to-day: "We expected IngaHs to take the action he did. Ho has been cutting rates right and left. and we were compelled to reduce to 17 cents. Ingalls is interested iu the Chesapeake & Ohio road as well as the Big Four, and he will continue to send all tho crrain he can procure to Newport jsews, tncre to be shinned to Europe, iiaa nor tho Baltimore & Ohio taken the step they did the Baltimore merchants would soon find their large and lucrative grain trade transferred to New York, Philadelphia and Newport News. A 8t, Louis paier says: "There has been some speculation as to the causes which induced the Baltimore & Ohio cople to make the cut, and it is believed by some of the freight men, who have obtained their information from local representatives of the road throughout Kansas; Iowa and Nebraska, that a big deal in cram for export is being engineered by Gill k Fisher, of Baltimore. Tbe wordcome8 from the gram points throughout these .States that buyers for this firm have been busy for some weeks purchasing all the grain they can get, but the Baltimore & Ohio road has been taken into the scheme, and being now ready to move the grain, has announced a tariff in accordance with an arrangement heretofore made." Vice-president Lord, of tho Baltimore & Ohio to-day said: "The 2 cents per mile rate for passengers iu clubs of ten or more has not been permanently withdrawn. It has, however, been suspended until the subject of the issuing of such tiekeU has been brought up before the trunkline committee. Commissioner Fink has decided that this course should have been adopted Del ore the tickets wero put on sale. President Ingalls Denies Cutting: Rates. Cincinnati, July 6. Mr, M. E. Ingalls, presi dent of the Chesapeake & Ohio road, having had his attention called to the statement widely pub lished that he had ordered a reduction in rates of freight on corn to ioints iu tho JJast, in consequence of the reduction ordered by the Balti more & Ohio road, said emphatically this evenine that he bad not made any such order, and that he was desirous that the false report be corrected. 1 Earnings or the C, Tl. & Q.

THE CONDITION OF TRADE. TRADING AT CHICAGO. The Ups and Downs of the Market, with the Kanjje in Prices of Leading Articles. CHICAGO, July C.-The session of the Board of Trade to-day was dull from the openiug to tno close. I no foreign news concerning wheat was rather mixed, and the domestic news was almost uniformly bullish. One member had a cable from St. Petersburg saying that the drought in north Kussia continued, and that reports from south Kussia were also unfavorable. Another had estimates that tho wheat yield of Europe, including tho United Kingdom, would bo 100,000,000 bushels larger than last year, and at least three weeks earlier. Parts quotations were higher; Liverpool quotations iirm. The weather was dry and hot, both in the winter and spring-wheat districts, and there was therefore a bearish inliueuce iu one direction and a bullish influence iu the other. Minneapolis millers were reported as buying new Xo. 2 red winter wheat in St. Louis for milling. Northwestern traders were also buying in the speculative markets here. Au operator 6tarted a bulgo in prices early this morning by picking lip a lew small lots of Jul'. This future opened at 0240 and sold up to 83c. and closed at 82"m. December opened at TOc, and after selling at 79, bulged to bOc. At the advance Hutchinson was selling December freely, and it reacted to 80c. The corn pit was almost deserted all the morning. Trading was light and featureless. September, tho active future, opened at S534'2) 35?bc. and sold at S."a4357tfC, and closed at the latter tigure. Oats wero dull and an easy feeling prevailed. Receiving houses sold September moderately at 22:,h'5 M22C; closed nt 22jc. Not over 8,000 barrels of pork were traded on the Exchange to day. Nevertheless there was a 10c kip iu prices. Lard aud ribs were much more active, and both were weaker. The trade in these, however, was of small proportions. Orlerings. while light, were more than the trade could absorb. The little speculative interest developed was centered in September, which sold from tSll.C1 early down to $11.55 for pork; from t!.50c down to 6.421oc for lard, and from 5.09L2C down to 5.85c for short ribs. Lard and short ribs for the same delivery closed at inside prices, and pork at Sll.pl1?. Other months were quiet. The leading futures ranged as follows:

SUCCESSFUL.

A Public Statement That Means Some thing. Gratitude Accomplishes More Than Wrath A Bold but Respectful Statement from a Lady Whose Name is a Syn- . . ouym of Truth. There are many acts happening about us every day . which call out not only our., sympathy and gratitude, bnt they demand our respect. They are those things which money does not pay for, and when one has been brought face to face with 6uch facta they are not to be put down or hid behind false impressions of due propriety. It was ; thus I felt when I consented to make a publio statement of facts known best to myself and friends,' said Mrs. LevinaYant, of No. 01 Decatur street. West Indianapolis. "I had been atllicted for tho last fourteen years with a long list of symptomn, which aro too disagreeable to repeat hero. But let me say that the many aches and pains, with restless days and sleepless nights, sick iu mind and body is too fresh in my memory to be passed without notice. It is, not possible for one who is hale and hearty to realize the meaning of such words, and I do not look for any sympathy or compassion from any such. But those who havo endured such pain and misery well know what condition of mind and body I was in, when, after waiting and trying for years for the needed relief, I finally decided to try tho method that so many others had found successful. I had read many statements of patients with a most skeptical eyoand was long in making a decision; but after a final consideration I determined to investigato to my own satisfaction. I began Blair Treatment some four months ago, and have continued it diligently and faithfully to a successful termination. My head and chest axe clear and free from pain. My eyesight, which was very defective, has improved wonderfully. My appetite ia good and I rest as peacefully as a child, and, indeed, I believe I am f ully recovered from my many ills." Mrs. Levina Yant is a modest, retiring little lady, who. though naturally reticent, will gladly verify her statement, and give) any information in her power.
