which she made was that at the court balls she
must be invited to dance by the most desirable
young men present. The desirable young men
absolutely refused to ask her. Then before the
state balls came of, n certain number ofthem were
notified that they were to ask the Princess DOL
GORoUKI TO dance. Two or three thus notified
stayed away from the balls, and were sent to
Siberia for period. After that she had partners
enough. All the sensational reports of the attcn-
tons paid her by the present c2ar come from her
self; there could be nothing but hatred between
her and the children Of the cars first marriage.

nothing but printed paper. The Wall
street philosophers argue now that Nc
Geoch's failure is very lucky
thing, as it will bring down
the price of lard, create an exporting
demand and increase railroad earnings, but
how much lard is there exported and trans
ported By rail during the year? Have
they ever thought of the figures in the
cash? The Mark Lane EcpresS shows an
alarming falling off in the proportion of
American wheat arriving in England.
What chance is there to create a demand
for lard, the importation of which is pro-
hibited in most of the European countries,
and which has been declared to be adulter-
ated even by the Chicago dealers them
selves? The only good this failure is like
ly to do is to drive still more people away
from all kinds of speculative ventures.
1t looks as if business would be uncom-
monty dull in Wall street all through the
summer. Mr.. Vanderbilt has returned
from Europe, but he ignores the street,
drives Maud S. and concentrates all his
energy in beating Frank Works team.
He even refuses to go to Saratoga, and the
stock brokers who have summer Offices
there are in the depths of woe, as there
will be no one on the piazza of the United
States to give valuable friendly points.
Western Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 18.-The story in regard
to the great break in lard appears to have
been very completely told. This morning
on change was looked forward to with
considerable trepidition, in apparent fear
that the market might take another down
ward turn, but it proved otherwise and at
IL o'clock the July option, which closed at
$97712 Saturday, had risen to 1895 and
the feeling was comparatively firm.
Beyond the firms reported in these dis
patches Saturday none others have sue
cumbed, and the firm of Files g. Lighter,
among those reported as crippled, have
transferred their deals and in this manner
have tided over. The Associated Press
estimates as to losses, putting them at
$2,50O,OO0, are nearly as accurate as can
be made. Some published accounts this
morning swell the figures to 100000,
but this is largely based on conjecture.
The firm of McGeoch, Eyeringham & Co.
decline to furnish any additional data at
this time, and will make no statement till
some days have elapsed.

A pleasant incident occurred during the
afternoon session yesterday. While the

engaged in his duties, lady handed him
box, with the hurried remark that it con-
tanned testimonial from the ladies of the

poor fellow feeling and doubtless looking
very foolish. Upon opening the box it was

could only thank the whole lady portion
of the convention, which he did.

A "REMINISCENCES.
supplementary Proceedings in the Star
Route Cases


WASHINGTON, June 18.-In the criminal
court this morning Rerdell appeared, &C
companied by Merrick and Ker. Judge
Wylie asked Rerdell if he desired to with
draw his plea of guilty of conspiracy in
the star route case. Rerdell answered in
the affirmative, 'Under the circumstances -
said Judge Wylie, ''the court has no hesita-
ton in allowing that to be done. One man
can't be guilty of conspiracy. The jury
has acquitted the others, and that is
enough" Merrick said the government
would enter a nolle PROSE- for him. The
court directed the clerk to enter the nolle
PROSE-, and Rerdell left. After the organi-
zation of the juries for the June term, Ker
called up the case against VIM. Pitt Kel-
logg, charged with receiving money in con-
nection with mail contract while in the
United States senate. Ker said he under
stood Kellogg was under bail. A messen-
ger was dispatched for Kellogg, and Ker
then called up the two
cases against Thos. ]. Brady,
charging him with receiving money while
second assistant postmaster general in
consideration of increasing certain mail
services. Ker said bail had not been fur
nished in these cases, and asked for a pro-
cess to bring Brady into the court. Judge
Wylie replied that Ker could have pro-
cess and the court would make it returna-
BILE tomorrow.
Wilson said Kellogg would waive the
reading of the Indictment in his case and
proposed to kill certain pleas in abatement
Judge Wylie replied that Kellogg must
waive the reading = of the indictment in
person. Kellogg soon appeared and did
this. Wilson then presented his pleas.
One of them attacked the
construction of the grand jury
that found the Indictment. Another raises
the point that the orders of the court were
disregardsd by the failure to return an in
dictment corresponding with the present
ment. The others complain of Ker's pres
ence in the jury room, and his participa-
ton in the deliberations of the grand jury.
Judge Wylie fixed Saturday next for q
hearing of the argument upon the pleas
Williams, for Gen. Brady, asked that the
warrant ordered to issue in that case be
Withdrawn, stating that Gen. Brady was
already under $4,000 bail in the untried
and original star route indictment. The
court said bail was necessary in this case,
but consented to withhold the warrant
upon Williams promise to cause Gen.
Brady's attendance IN court tomorrow.

BRITISH GRAIN MARKETS.

LONDON, June 18.-The Mark Lane
Express, in its review of the grain trade
the past week, says: Rain is greatly
needed, but the crops promise fair. Re-
turn trade unchanged. Native wheat is
becoming scarcer and rates are firm.
Trade in foreign wheat is not encouraging.
The number of arrivals continues large
and cargoes are inanimate. There were
seventeen arrivals and three sales, but
there was no demand for futures. Flour
is lifeless and prices remain unchanged
The same may be said of foreign -four.
Barley and oats are unchanged. Foreign

After the Break.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-The casting up of
accounts among the smaller firms forced
to the wall by the break in lard on Satur-
day, as far as it has progressed, gives no
occasion to change the estimated losses al
ready sent in these dispatches. Nothing
definite is obtained as yet from McGeoch,
Everingham & Co. One of the results of
the break and excitement caused by it over
the country was that the Western Union
Telegraph company sent and received the
largest number of dispatches ever handled
in the Chicago Office in one day. The com
mittee of the board of trade investigating
McGeoch's charges o. adulteration in lard
by Fowler Bros, was continued this after
noon. and the case for the prosecution is
concluded. Nothing new was developed.
The defense begins tomorrow.

MODJESKA WASN'T POISONED.
But the Mishap at the Denver Opera House
Served to Advertise Her Pretty Widely.
LSnecial TELEGRAM f., the Glnhnl

Served to Advertise Her Pretty Widely.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
DENVER, June 18.--An alleged attempt
to poison Modjeska at the Tailor Opera
house Saturday night is now denied by
Modje5ka's manager. When Barrett was
here q few weeks ago it was found reces-
sary in playing Hamlet to give the ghost a
luminous appearance. For this purpose
the property man then employed at the
theater procured at drug store a large
vial filed with phosphorus and sweet oil,
with which most of the ghost was annoint-
ed, the preparation becoming luminous on
exposure to air. In playing Juliet last night
Modjeska was gwen vial containing the
sleeping potion, which is usually harm
less colored liquid, but which was taken by
new property man from the bottle of
phosphorus and sweet oil. As soon as
the cork was removed the liquid ignited,
which of course prevented Modjeska from
using it. She did not throw the bottle
away, but handed it to Mr.. Stinson. Mod
jeska was interviewed in relation to the
matter this evening, and stated she did not
suspect any one of trying to poison her,
but if she had not through the merest &C
cident looked at the vial before swallow
ing the potion she would have swallowed
the burning liquid. The prop
erty man who purchased the
liquid said he called upon Modjeska'5 hu5-
band, Count Bozenti, and explained the
matter to him to-day, that the count
seemed incredulous and declared that
three or four attempts had already been
made to poison her. Her agent, however,
claims that the count referred to similar
accidents. The druggist who made up the
preparation claims there was only per
cent. Of phosphorus in the oil, a proper
ton too small to cause death. All admit,
however, that Modieska had a very narrow
escape, as had the liquid spilled on her
costume the latter would have ignited. To-
day when the large vial containing the
mixture was being removed from the thea
ter the heat caused 1t to explode in the
hands of an attendant, burning him badly
Modjeska denies having threatened to sue
the proprietor of the theater or having
charged that there was any wilful attempt
to poison her.

Fears of Indian Trouble.

Wilcox, Arizona, June 1S.-It is under
stood that the Indian agent at San Carlos
will not receive the captured hostiles and
a serious result may be anticipated. The
hostiles are now awaiting to surrender
near the Mexican line and will not do so
unless first assured of good treatment on
the home reservation. Runners have ais o
deserted to return to the line with this
intelligence. There are from $50 to IT'S
able-bodied warriors yet to surrender. 1t
is feared there will be repetition of the
18th of April, 1882, when the hostile
Apaches came into the reservation and
took out forcibly Loco and his followers.
The reservation Indians fear the Chiraca-
huas would make very weak resist
ance. The Indians fear Crook. If his
Judgment prevails all will be we'll, other
wise trouble is still ahead. The Indians
are still out, we'll armed, and with plenty
of ammunition.
