IL Is SAID on lne niSneSU authority Lnd
the report current in Canada that
treaty of commercial reciprocity has
been concluded between the U. S. and
Canada, and will soon be promulgated,
is without foundation. Last winter
the house foreign-atfairs committee APP
pointed Mr.. Belmont, Of New York,
and Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, a sub-commit-
tee to consider the matter. They have
about agreed upon a report in support
of resolution declaring in favor of
closer commercial relations with all
countries on the American continent,
and especially with Canada: and pro-
posing as to the latter country recipro-
cal free trade, with such an adjustment
of their respective tariff imports from
other countries as wilt make the Gus
toms duties uniform. Such a union
would probably be opposed by th: pol
iticians and fav ored by the business
men of Canada. 1t would enormously
encourage and increase the reciprocal
trade of the two countries. Its most i'm
mediate effect would be to make Chica-
go the entreport for the Manitoba trade.
The subcommittee will make its report
to the committee. The full committee
will probably report it favorably to the
house next session, and the house will
probably adopt It.

ber of orders to buy st. Paul, and it rose to
above 73 The market received set back
later, and became very dull The two parties
in the room seemed TO stand facing each
other, each waiting for the other to begin the
wrestling match and neither side caring To
lead OH or to exhiDit its intentions. Some
thought the market was being put up to sell
on. Others thought an up,uin was more
likely because of the large short interest out
st. Paul was sold of yesterday on the rumor
that President Mitchell had resigned, which
rumor was subsequently, shown TO
be without foundation. Neyerthe-
less a bear raid upon it was
said to be organized and nearly ready for
operation. The room was reported ready to
follow the selling OF St. Paul bat not Of
Northwestern. Points were given that Lack
awanna was no longer sale and that the
stock would be squeezed before the books
closed for the payment of the dividend.
Another pool in Lackawanna is said to be
formed, with Deacon White out. The dea-
con says he will not take hold of it again un-
til the new coal combin alton contract has
been signed. He would not sell at these
prices, neither would he buy. Large stock

Duluth as a Wheat Market.

DULUTH, MiDn., Dec. 23.-At a meeting
Of the stockholders of the Lake Superior Eie-
vator company held in this city yesterday, it
was definitely decided TO build another ele-
vator at Duluth for the business OF the com
ing year with a capacity Of 500, 900 bushels,
and it is understood that the Union Improve
ment & Elevator company viii also build
another Of 200, coo bushels capacity. The
erection OF these elevators has been rendered
absolutely necessary by the proportion which
the grain trade at Duluth has now
assumed. and by reason OF the
fact that the trade Is increasing so
rapidly. Large transactions now take
place on 'change daily, and many new mem
bers recently joined the board Of trade. That
Duluth is rapidly coming TO the front Us
trading wheat market is shown by the fact
that during the past season she shipped very
nearly If not quite as much wheat as Chi
cago, and that she already has in store for
winter storage 4,500, 900 bushels, and will
have 10000 600 bushels In store by next
spring. The capacity Of the Duluth eleva-
tors, when the new houses are completed,
will be 8, 100, 900 bushels.

An Organized Gang of Thieves.

WHEELING, W. Va, Dec. 23.-That an or
ganized gang Of thieves is working this city
is evidenced from the fact that another sue
cessful burglary was committed Monday
night FIVE miles from the city, by which far
mer was cruelty beaten and robbed Of sos.
This occurring soon after the Workenour
robbery Sunday morning, by which the
burglars got $4,000, gives color to the sus-
picion that the professionals are assisted by
home talent. The last robbery occurred Mon
day night. The house Of Elijah Marling, q
batchelor farmer, five miles from the city, or
Bethany Home, this county, was entered by
four masked men. MarliDg, living alone,
the thieves had things their own way. He
was quickly bound and gagged, and refusing
TO tell where his money was, he was cruelty
beaten. Again refusing the robbers heated
poker and scorched his flesh until his suf-
ferings compelled him to divulge the hiding
place. One hundred and five dollars were
secured, and the thieves departed, leaving
the man unconscious on the floor, where be
lay until O'Clock this morning, when be

A Horrible Tragedy.

DEs MONIES, Ia, April 3o.-A special to
the State Register gives details of horrible
crime near Roland last night. Edward
Thompson, young Norwegian, went home
intoxicated and tried to shoot his wife, He
was prevented by his wife's sister, who sue
ceeded in getting the revolver His wife got
out doors and started for a neighbours when
he pursued her with an axe. Overtaking her
he felled her to the ground and repeated the
blows twenty-six times, each blow indenting
and fracturing the skull. Supposing her
dead he ran away. The sister called help
and the wife was found in a comatose state.
The surgeons worked for hours extracting
pieces of the skull and relieving the pressure
from the brain. 1t is thought she has
slight chance for recovery. Search was
made for Thompson, which showed he had
plunged head first in a deep well and thus
ended his miserable existence. He was dis
sipated and had made his wife's life unhappy

dates in hopes that when the Republican con-
ventlon assemblies at Chicago the whole list
will be so besmeared with filth that the con-
the rest. The sudden and violent attack by
Blaine on Edmunds' reputation denotes
that senator is thought in
Blaine's headquarters to be strong
competition for a nomination which Blaine
is hunting for himself or some one he can
boss. From man like Edrnunds Blaine
knows he has nothing to hope. There will
be no jobbery if Edmunds is president nc
room for Shipherd and Peruvian intrigues
in the state department. Blaine's guano
policy would be adjourned, and it is under
stood Blaine is firing of literary pursuits and
hungering for another whack at his familiar
kind Of politics.
A SAD DISCOVERY.
The New York Times says: 'sSome OF
Blaine's supporters seem to have discovered
that If Edmunds should be the next presi-
dent they could not make their candidate
secretary of state"
NONE OF THEM FIT.
The New York San says: s'The New York
Tribune continues its good work of showing
how unfit Edmunds is to be nominated by
the Republican party for president of the Uni
ted States. At the same time the New York
Times is daily manifesting most intense dis
like of Arthur, while the Egeniag Post toasts
Blaine on its journalistic griiiron every af-
ternoon. Thus, according to three of the
most reputable newspapers, the three leading
candidates for the Republican nomination
are severally unfit for president, and what
furthermore is true, they are all right"
BLA1NE's DEFENDER.
Then with regard to President Arthur, fol
he is Republican, the New York Tribune
says: "sHe that taketh the sword shall per
ish by the sword it has been said. The po-
litical Pharisees who made broad
their phylacteries, and selected public
places for acts Of devotion, saw fit
to begin amalignant personal warfare against
Mr.. Blaine. By blackening his character
and holding up somebody else as a saint,
they calculated to attain their personal ends.
At this hour it does not seem probable that
efforts to elevate one man by slandering an
other will meet with much success. There
is not the remotest danger that the Republi-
can campaign will be based on the Mulligan
letters if Blaine be nominated The Multi
gan letters do not incriminate Blaine. The
Evening Post has taken those letters and at
tempted to make out a case and failed
to do it. 1t has more ability
than the average Democratic press and as
much maleyolence and partisan rancor; and
when it has signally failed no one else can
hope to succeed. If Mr.. Blaine be nomina-
ted it will be wholly unnecessary to explain
the Mulligan letter to defend his character,
The collapse Of the Evening Posts wanton
assault upon public leader whom the Re-
publlcans throughout the country delight to
honor, will leave the party free to make a
strong, aggressive snd successful campaign.
1t will find in the Tribune columns a daily
exhibit of what is expected if Blaine be nom
mated at Chicago, namely, ''an aggressive
campaign for Republican principles and
American integrity.'''
