THE CHICAGO MARKETS.
Unusually High and Strong Prices for
Everything Except Wheat.
Corn Still Advancing, and EverybOdy Anx-
iOus to Purchase--Closing of a Great
Week for the Bulls.

Chicago, Dec. S.aThe week closes with
everything except wheat at the top notch
and very strong, and the feeling a very ex-
cites one. May corn is going to 61c tonight
in the alley; January wheat, 97Ic: January
pork at $14. 25; January lard at $500, and
January ribs at $3.50. These figures are a
little higher than the regular close at 1
o'clock. The interest was divided to-day be-
tween corn and provisions. There was at
about the middle of the week notable fall
ing off in the receipts of hogs. 1t staggered
the buyers and packers and upset all their
carefully-laid plans. On Monday, it will be
recalled, there were enormous receipts of
hogs. On Tuesday they were not so heavy,
and less on Wednesday, On that day the
buyers tried to play one of their old time
tricks by withdrawing to the houses and re-
fusing to buy; but the trick has failed. The
commission men at once ordered the coun-
trymen to cease shipping. To-day they went
up 15c Mondays receipts are figured at only
10000, and big advance in live hogs and
provisions is anticipated.
Pork to-day advanced Csc barrel, and is
nearly 81 higher than it was a week ago.
Lard went up SOC per 100 lbs, and is so
@60c per 100 lbs higher than it
was last Saturday. Ribs to-day advanced
35c per 100 lbs, and closed 75c higher than
seven days ago, This shows that it has been

rels of pork, and that the Fowlers and Ar
mours bought on even a larger scale.
day-302 cars-but less than one-fifth of
them graded No O. This, however, is as
well as the grain graded last year at this
time. There is, by the by the same cry now
out there was twelve months ago, when
Lindblom and Handy were running their
corner-dishonest inspection. Strange to
say, the people who raised the outcry last
year are the very ones against whom it is
raised this. Messrs. Cudahy & Stevens were
very large buyers, and so were Baker q Co.
Ream, ComStock, Hobbs and others were
sellers
The feeling is such tonight that 5000, 900
bushels OF corn might easily be sold without
greatly affecting the market Within week
May corn has advanced 7c, and the other
options about 4c. Tonight the frenzy for
buying seems greater than ever The ad-
vance of corn from 48c for December to 54c
and 55c, where it was a week ago, was due to
the manipulate of the clique at New York,
loaded by Jack Sturgis The advance this
wJek. which has been nearly as far as last
week, has nothing to do with Sturgis's New
York clique. Indeed, the biggest advances
were made upon days when in popular es-
ImatIon the Sturgis crowd were sellers,

The victory of the Mahdi would cause no
surprise whatever to Arabi Pasha, who over
and over again repeated to me that his infu-
ence was very great and that England ought
to be prepared to see him march some day or
other on Cairo. Arab Pasha said that moth
ing had struck him so much as the complete
ignorance of Europeans as to the power of
MohammedaniSm. What Europeans were
pleased to call fanatcsm was a spirit of
selt-sacrfce and devotion, combined with
courage and organization, which must
make Europe trembe. 1t was that
sentiment. and not his personal ambition,
which had made him in the space Of few
weeks master of the situation in Egypt, His
name had become popular all over the Mo-

during his exile in Ceyion, had been filled by
the most influential personages in India who

umph in books which are purposely kept in
the house occupied by Arab. Ever since
his arrival in Ceylon Arab Pasha expressed

of being overpowered by Christian nations

tire Courier journal.
o. o, s. in Saturdays Paper.
Now, about the tariff question in Indiana.
Any respectable gentleman can carry Indi-
ana in 1884 if he runs on plank in favor of
fair and just revision of the present tariff
law. If the indianapolis Journal were
not such a dolt it would know this.
If the editor will watch public senti-
ment he will soon find it out. In
the meantime the Journal had better keep
its eyes upon Gen. Tom Browne and Hon.
W. H. Calkins. They are both here in
Congress, and are not such all-fred fools as
not to see the danger this protective bull
pup is giving their party. Mr.. Calkins will
doubtless be made member of the ways
and means committee, and it is dollars to
cents that when the tarlffquestion is brought
up in the committee room he will frequently
vote for reduction amendments. Then Gen.
Tom Browne has a mind of his own, and if
don t mistake the man, he will often be found
voting on the side of the people against the
protective barons. If the Journal succeeds
by its believing and hogwash about the
solid South" in diverting the minds of the
members of its party from live and vigorous
issues. such as tariff reform, it will accom-
plish all it has set out to do. But it will not
succeed, and the Republican party will go
down for good and forever in Indiana in

The Policy the Speaker Will Adopt Mem
berShip of Senate Committees.
WASHINGTON, Dec SIT is the under
standing among leading members of both
sides of the House that the plan of creating
a standing committee on rivers and harbors
and internal improvement will be carried
out, and it is probable that the rule will be
amended so as to provide for the new COM
mittee before the membership of the COM
mittees are announced by Speaker Carlisle.
Congressman Dingley, Republican, from
Maine, who has conferred with the Speaker
on the subject, said, to-day, that the policy
referred to would be adopted, and that the
Speaker would appoint commerce commit
tee especially fitted to consider shipping
questions, interstate commerce questions
and questions of kindred nature.
Congressman Lowry, of Indiana, one of
Carlisles enthusiastic supporters, expressed
the opinion, to-day, that the ways and means
committee will certainly reflect Carlisle's
views upon the tariff, and the House. without
doubt, will take steps this season to lessen
the tariff on necessaries Of life and reduce the
surplus revenue.
The Senate caucus committees of both par
ties were in session to-day and finished the
work of recasting the membership of Sem
ate committees. After adjournment the
chairmen of the two committees held con-
ference and decided to lay the result of the
labor of the committees before their re-
spective caucuses on Monday morning If
the work is approved by the caucuses the
Senate committees will be named on Monday

New Article of Wharf.-The Surplus Revenue
Pay of United States Marshals.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-A bill to make an
additional article of war has been intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Plumb, and
in view of the fact that it is directed towards
correcting practices that have brought scan
dal upon the military service, the bill will
doubtless receive early and favorable action.
The bill provides that any officer of the army
serving with troops, or any soldier not on
furlough, who CANDLES, bets or plays for
money or other valuable stake or considera-
ton, at any game of cards or otherwise, shall
be brought to trial By court-martial, and
upon conviction shall be punished as fol-
lows: If an officer, by dismissal from the
military service, or such other punishment
OF less grade as may be inflicted by the SEN
tence of the court-marta; if a soldier, at
provided that any officer, whether or not
serving with troops, who, by gam
bling, betting, or playing at
cards or otherwise shall win money from a
Junior. or inferior officer shall, upon convic-
ton by court-martial, be punished as pre-
scribed above. This provision is aimed at
what has become we'll known here as the
Army Poker Club" to which young officers
from the frontier posts visiting Washington
have been invited and dcspoiled of their sur
plus funds by the old veterans located at the
national capital The majority of cases of
officers duplicating their pay accounts are
chargeable to the game of poker as played at
Washington.
The second section of Mr.. Plumb's bill pro-
vdes that any post trader who shall keep or
allow to be used in his establishment or else
where, any buildi ng or room for gambling,
betting, or playing for money or other valu-
able consideration at cards or otherwise shall
have his appointment revoked by the Secre-
tary of War. Section 3 makes it the duty of
every commanding officer to enforce the pro-
visions of the bill by bringing all offenders
to trial.
SURPLUS REVENUE.
Senator Logan has introduced a bill in the
Senate which Is probably intended as kind
of opposition scheme to that recently pro-
posed by Mr.. Blaine in reference to dis
trbuting among the several States annually
the amount received from the tax on dis
titled spirits. The aim of Senator Logan's
bill is to appropriate and expend $4,000, 600
annually of the sum received from the in
erna'-revenue taxes and the sale OF public
lands, for the education of all the children
living in the United States, The bill pro-
vides that this amount shall be expended
pro rata in the several States and Territories
as shown by the census of 1880, and each
succeeding census, and that the education
shall include such instruction as is pro-
vded in the curriculum of the public
schools of the country, and maintenance of
normal schools, teachers institutes and
instruction in the industrial and me-
chanical arts. 1t also provides that
