THURSDAY, Feb. 2O-8P.M.
The merchandise markets were emphatical
dull to-day, almost without exception. There was
but little manifest inclination to buy beyond the
pressing exigencies Of the moment and the little
speculative feeling obtaining was checked by I'M
wonted caution. On 'Change and In the street the
same story Of extreme dulness was current yet
there was very little disposition to force sales;
hence there was but little change to note in
values. Cotton was very quiet at the Produce
Exchange; almost nothing was done in bread
stufrs both -four and wheat being very
dull the latter being almost nominal. The orders
for shipment appeared to be confined to about two
three loads and the limits for these were too low
to admit of business Corn was also dull, but with
little Eastern and milling business always under
way, it is seldom that transactions are so small.
Oats were dull and heavy Whiskey closed
shade frmer. The movement in provisions was
less satisfactory, though the market remained
steady for both pork and lard. freights
were unchanged room and vessels
were both scarce, and fresh accession
to the available carrying capacity in port is pre-
requisite Of fresh impetus to the export move
ment Groceries quiet with the exception OF
sugar. which sold to fair extent at former prices Pc
trolum quiet to-day, but large business
ported have been done last evening full current
prices Naval stores were quiet but steady.

THE MASSACHUSETTS, sENAroRsuIr.


Politically, the principal excitement In
Massachusetts, Just now Ia the Forthcoming
election Of a successor TO Mr.. Wilson in the
Senate. The Boston Times describes some Of
the movements upon the political chcss-board
as follows:
"The making up OF pools In the party for dlf-
ierent candidates Is becoming decidedly interest
lng. The friends OF Mr.. Boutwell, think Mr.,
wilson had better resign at once: the sooner the
better for them. The friends OF Mr.. Dawes think
Mt. Wilson had better hold on as long as he can,
Tor they believe their candidate Is Improving In
his chances daily. Thus far the Held appears 10
have been pretty much appropriated by these
two parties, for we dislike very much to style
them factions. As for the Democrats, they enjoy
the struggle Of their opponents more than t6ey
think they would the success OF a candidate Of
their own, and 10 they preserve an attitude Of
quiet 10 which mOdesty Is very prominent ele-
lnent. But although Messrs. Boutwell, and Dawes
do seem thus to have the Senatorial ield TO them
selves, they are by no means without their ap-
prehenslons, aside from each others hOstIlity
There are other gentlemen behind, and no one
cloud.
"There are, for instance, MeAsrs. Whiting and
Hoar, and always Messrs. Butler aud LorinV,

occupies 80 conspicuous seat In one brunch OF
the Legislature, 1t might look somewhat ike in
delicacy TO say too much Of his prospects or
hopes right In bis very face. There Is no risk In
letting them take quiet and effective care Of
themselves. Judge HOar would, no doubt, take
senator Wilson's place II perfectly agreeable 10

Massacre Of xlodoc Prisoners.

| News from Boyles Camp, Tule Lake
Peninsula, June 8th. at noon, gives
the particulars, herein condensed, Of
as disgracefnl and atrocious an act OF
cold-blooded murder as was ever per-
petrated on this coast:
About daylight yesterday morning,
John and James Fairchild and a dozen
other citizens left Fairchild's ranch on
the banks of the Cottonwood Creek
with seventeen Modoc captives, includ-
ing Bogus Charley, Shacknasty Jim,
Tyhee Jack, Poney, Little John and
MoOch. John Fairchld, Bogus and
Shacknasty, and all the white men save
James being mounted and armed rode
in advance, soon after the start, leay-
ing the balance of the party several
miles behind. James had the Indians
In wagon drawn by four mules. At
the crossing Of Lost river, late in the
afternoon, james came across the
Oregon Volunteers under Captain
Hiser, who were In camp and en- route
for home. The members of the COM
pany were scattered around the camp
and engaged in various occupations,
but upon the approach OF the Indians
they ran and armed themselves, and
then gathered around the wagons.
At this point q long conversation oc-
CURED between Failphild and Capt.
Hiser, In regard to who these Indians
were, etc, after which Fairchild and
the train moved on. Shortly after
ward, about two miles from Crawley's
house on Lost River,
THE TRAIN WAS STOPPED BY TWO
ARMED MEN
Who presented cooked needle guns to
Fairchild's head, said they were going
to kill the Indians and Fairchild, too.
They nnhitched the mules from the
wagon and cut the harness, Fairchild
had no arms except small pistol, and
the Indians were entirely unarmed.
In moment there was q shot, and
little John lay dead In the bed Of the
wagon, with bullet In his brain.
The four mules dashed away with
Fairchild and tangled him In the har-
ness. Five more shots in rapid success
sion and Tee hee Jack, Pony, and
Mooch, the remaining warriors, were
dead, and Little Johns squaw had a
frightfNl wound IN her shoulder.
Away ahead In the road and IN the
direction Of BOyle's camp was a cloud
of dust, indicating the approach Of a
team and hurridly at that; the murder
ers espled the dust and In . moment
were riding rapidly away. Sergeant
