In the course of the debate in the German Reichstag on the cattle plague, Bismarck, referring to the smuggling of cattle, took occasion to accuse the Liberals of having made the penal code so mild that it protected crimirals instead of citizens.

The pope in no other way than did his predecessors has protested and will protest until such provisions are made as right and reason require for the dignity and liberty of the Holy See.

FISHER

'.*«

Man of Nerve Re-

covered From a Blun-

A Romance oi the Chicago Board of Trade.

IMv.-i

From tbe Chicago Inter Oeean. --v. It begins to look as if that Jim Keene dispatch was really 1ogu$, and that the break in wheat on Friday was actually the result of a bungling but strangely successfully forgery.

It is almost incredible that business men of the reputation of J. K. Fisher & Co. could be gulled so easily, but the general conclusion is that they were really imposed upon, and sold themselves out of house and home at the bidding of some desperate man who proba bly took this last method of saving himself from ruin. Whoever the party is it is likely he succeeded, and in the drop of Friday brought wheat sufficient to make himself whole, and probably something more. If he is now lucky enough to escape the efforts that will be made to discover him on the spur of the

$10,•

offered by Mr. Keene, he may con gratulate himself. This incident illustrates the exciting," turbulent nature of life on the Board et Trade. There is nothing surpassing it in any gambling room of the world.

Supposing the truth to have been told, the behavior of Mr. Fisher, familliarly known as

in the face of the

trying ordeal preciptated upon him by Mr. Keene's repudiation of the dispatch under which the formor had acted, would gain for him the applause of the knights of tbe green cloth everywhere. He showed an astonishing amount of nerve and self-possession, and these proved his salvation.,

Mark the incidents in this man's life of {Wo days, The anxiety, hope, fear, crowed into those forty-eight hours would answer for a life-time to ordinary mortals.

Mr. Fisher is the junior member of the firm, the senior being absent. He gets what purports to be a dispatch from a principal instructing him to sell all the

300,000

wear of years in the effort but at last he is alone and can think. He says that no sleep visited his eyes Friday nighty and it is easly tp 'believe him. But he called in a couple of trusty friends and with them laid the plan for Saturday's campaign. Of course his appearance as a large purchaser would be the signal for an advance in prices at once. Others must act for him, and so his friends take hold of the matter. Mr. Fisher only appears Saturday to crack a few jokes and laugh in a pleasant sort of way over that bogus dispatch. But under that laugh is a fevered anxiety which it is difficult to conceal. The sales are large, at about the rates of the day before, or slightly lower, and his friends are among the extensive purchasers. When closing time arrives the victory is won, the terrible blunder of the day before is retrieved, and Mr. Keene's

Acting promptly he disposes ot

bushels, when the princpal to whom he has telegraphed the extent of his sales replies, announcing that he has sent no order, and that he shall hold Mr. Fisher respansible for the grain he had sold. This dispatch comes amid the hurry and .. .!?• bustle oftBe board. It tn&ffit to be recipient iust this: *You are ruined unless you car buy back the wheat you have disposed of at rates about the same as thoes for which it has been sold." The keen eyes ofhis associates are upon him, a ward, a look may betray him. It it is suspected that he la forced 10 repurchase that vast amount of wheat the price will run up like a rocket. All depends upon his 'purdence and ooolness. With a tremendous effort he turns smilling to the boaffa, and before the does has succeeded in buying back

bushels. But

i,000,000 still remains to be cot, and the rumor is now on the street that a forgery has been committed. Mr. Fisher knows that the rumor con not be verified, and that his conduct will be narrowly watched for confirmation of the report. He feels like rushing to his room, locking himself in, and giving way to despair. But this means certain destruction. Therefore he turns to his club and during the eyening entertains a party at dinner. The reporters fi'nd htm there smiling and pleasant, and they opine, as Mr. Fisner intends they shall, that man who had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars that afternoun would hardly spend the evening enjoying himself at a convivial party. He playes the part admirably, though there is age ind the 'f*

ill

bushels of

wheat are again in the possession of his agent. The latter is, perhaps, ahead a few hundred dollars on the entire transac* tion, but the money realized is as naught compared with the terrible experience he has undergone.

But, meanwhile,' numberless small operators have been annihilated by the two days transactions, and roundly'curse bogus dispatches, and Keene and his agent together. The world will "not hear of them, for their experience is an every day affair

misfortune is just as hard to bear probably, as was that which Mr. Fisher^ by his extraordinary nerve,turned aside and overcame.
