SDtc1uI Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-The Economist says: Rus
sian stocks rose nearly 2 per cent
on the fall Of Plevna, but imme-
diatcly lost much Of the rise, aud
the stock markets generally fell instead OF adj
yancing. a new set Of prcoccupations then
arose regarding the terms of peace should the
fall Of Plevna lead to negotiations for a settle
mcnt Of the Eastern question. Turkish stock
naturally suffered under the effect Of the
weeks revcrses and the Scrvian declaration Of
war. Much alarm was raised In the American
market by special dispatch to the Times,
dated Dec, II, saying that agitation for the
payment OF the debt in silver had been revived,
and giving the substance OF Senator Matthews
concurrent resolution. The effect OF this
news was to depress prices l per cent.
The demand for money continued good this
week. The rate for three months bank bills is
SO per cent. On sxty-day bills the rate is 35s
per cent, and money for short periods reaching
into the new year Is in demand In every form.

Snectas Dispatch 10 The CAfca7o Tribune.
GALEsBuRG, ILL.,, Dec. 15.-Noticc Of the ex-
istence of plot in the eastern part Of the
| county to take the outlaw Runde from jail and
lynch him was received by Sheriff Berggren last
evening. Tic notice was received by letter
| from one Of the most reliable mem at ellison,
and immediate steps we're taken by the Sheriff
I to thwart any such attempt. A strong guard
| was placed within the jail and watch kept all
| night, but there was no demonstration. No
| particulars Of the scheme have been obtained.
The movement was first set on foot
last Tuesday after the continuance was granted.
| The Knots OF men talking on the streets in the
| afternoon OF that day had this sole purpose in
view, and before they left the city preliminary
| organization was made. Six men. residents Of
| the townships in the immediate vicinity of the
murder, were made special committees. Each
was charged with the duty Of enlsting fifty men
for tho work. Enrolment was made Of citizens
living even in the extreme northeastern part Of
the county, and the required number, 800, was
obtained on Thursday night. Last uisht was to be
the time of attack. and Knoxville, four miles east
Of Galcsburg, the place Of rendezvous. The time
aud place were thoroughly understood by all
engaged In the plan, and about dusk last even
ing the men commenced to drop into Knoxville
sinCly and In pairs until something over 100
were present. Then came word from ellison
that those whowere to come from that place had
backed out, and would not make the attempt.
Those who had come long miles to carry the
plan into execution were terribly inccnscd 1t
this message, and, after soMt frutlcSs talk OF
going on with the force they had, gave it up and
returned home.
The exact reason OF the change of base by the
ellison people is not known, though it is thought
they feared the authorities were posted aud III
readiness for them.
