Produce Exchange.

The feature OF this market was the radical
change in prices for butter. 1t dropped from
176119c to 12G115c for the best creameries. 1t is
utterly impossible to hold prices up any
longer against the lack of demand and the
abundant and increasing supply. 1t seems as
though the whole world had gone to making
butter and as though every lady had stopped
using it, This decline has been predicted for
several weeks and is not therefore unex-
pected. There is an immense amount of poor
stuff that will have to go into packing stock,
for the market must be cleared OF the over
supply. Cheese is unchanged and in fair de-
mand. For potatoes there is no demand. Eggs
are unchanged. The call:

Rosa Hints at the Wales Assassination.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, April 12.-O'Donovan Rossa's
face bears a more portentous scowl even
han usual on account. of the Prince of Wales'
tour in Ireland, presumably, and his coterie
are scarcely less hateful than their chief in
demeanor. They hint broadly that some
thing explosive is going to happen TO the
hated prince before he gets out of Ireland,
and when Rosa himself was bluntly asked If
an assassination had been planned his in
intense reserve might readily have been
construed by cynic as indicating that he
desired the questioner TO take silence for an
affirmative. The alleged dynamlter sat at
mean desk on a shaky chair in his dingy
office. The tiny hole through which Mrs.
Dudley's bullet had passed into his back re-
mained unmended in his almost threadbare
coat, and his toilet was disarranged.

Later and Fuller Advices.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, April II. "A report from Gen.
Middleton tonight states that his force is
within thirty miles OF Humboldt and making
good progress; that it will take four or five
days to reach the Saskatchewan. Half-breeds
are known to be on the east side of the river
but no trouble is anticipated, at least until
the crossing is reached. 1t was rumored
around the city to-day that there had been
an engagement, in which a number of the
Ninetieth rifles were killed. This could not
be verified and is officially stated to be
without any foundation in fact whatever.
Col. Otter with the Queens Own and B bat

orders that If the boats are not ready to go
down the river when he reaches the Sas-
katchewan he shall proceed straight across
the prairie to Battleford. Gen. Strange will
start from Calgary on Tuesday or Wednes-
day for Edmonton with force of infantry
and mounted scouts. Reports from Battle
ford say the garrison have plenty Of proyis-
ions but are anxiously awaiting help. A
courier, who left Prince Albert on April 9
and reached Humboldt on the 11th, reports
all right at Prince Albert UP to the

States, and it was only without his knowledge
and consent that few of his countless ad-
mirers succeeded in letting Washington
know what guest was about to visit it.
Vaughn's constitutional shyness would have
impelled him to come incognito had it been
possible, but in spite of his unconqueraole
reticence about himself his great deeds have
made his name and face so familiar to the
world that it would be easier for Bismarck to
travel incognito than Vaughn. But Vaughn
does not realize what dreadfuly famous
man he is and he thinks it necessary to put
a small amount of information about him
self on his card. This is where his diff
dence comes out strong. The average man
is so pulled up with conceit that
he has nothing on his card but
his name, sometimes shis residence, and oc-
casiona ally his Office. His vanity leads him
to assume that all the world knows the rest
But Vaughn is humble, very humble. He
supposed that nobody knew anything about
him, and so he put little general informa-
ton about himself on his card. This is the
inscription on the circus poster that
was announced at the White house
Yesterday: ''W R. Vaughn, mayor OF
Council Bluffs, Ia. Second term of office

By turning the placard up edgewise it was
found possible 10 get it into the white house,
and the sight of it aroused SO much curiosity
in the mind of the president that he ex-
pressed wish to look at Vaughn. So Vaughn
was taken into the White npuse, and the

It Was Not Cholera

CLEVELAND, April 12.-The coroner this
morning began the post mortem examination
of the body of the little Russell child, whose
mysterious death yesterday caused so much
apprehension among physicians. In view of
the choleraic symptoms the examination was
of the most searching character. The result,
however, has removed all fears. 1t was
found that the cause of death was colitis, or
Inflammation of the transverse colon, an in
fantile disease. The coroner is yet unable to
understand why death was so painless, a col
lapse having preceded it in this case, as well as
that of the child who died week ago. The
people residing in the vicinity of Alum
street, where the Russell family lived, were
much excited, and it was generally believed
that cholera had really made its appearance.

CONFEDERATE BAZAAR.
Most Brilliant Affair In the Monumental
City for the Benefit Of the Southern
Soldiers.

Special to the Globe.
BALTIMORE, April 12.-The attention of
society has been engrossed this week by the
confederate relief bazaar, which opened at
the Fifth regiment armory on Tuesday night
and closed this evening. For months this
bazaar has been the topic Of conversation in
exclusive circles, and no efforts were spared
to make it one of the most brilliant affairs
of the kind that has taken place in the country
Sectional feeling was laid aside, and those
who sym pathized with the Union cause dur
ing the war labored hand In hand with the
wives and relatives of ex-Confederates.
About 400 ladies, representing the best
ladies in the state, volunteered their ser
vices, and requests for contributions were
sent broadcast. The responses exceeded all
expectations. Large as is the armory, it was
necessary to arrange the exhibits com pactly,
otherwise the place could not have contained
them and allowed space for visitors. In ad-
dition. to donations, all Of the Southern states
loaned for the occasion relics of the late war
which are of inestimable value. Every
Southern state is represented by booth de-
signed by shield bearing the name and the
coat of arms Of the state. The bunting used
to decorate the hall and tables consists of
battle flags that give evidence Of rough
usages. Many Of them are perforated with
bullet holes, while a few are torn and ragged.
These are so arranged, however, that under
the gaslight their condition is not observed.
Covering them like network are the stars
and stripes. The scene ON the opening
night was superbly beautiful. Besides
the multiplicity of lights above,
each booth was supplied with
a chandelier giving off numerous
lights of varied colors, and the deft fingers
of the ladies had so arranged the different
shades that their works were shown off to the
best possible advantage. The hall was
crowded with ladies Of the best society, many
of them in evening costume. Among the
many relics having history are Gen. Lees
sword and headquarters battle flag, torn by
the bullets This flag indicated where Gen.
Lee could be found in battle. It was
on every battle ground fought in Northern
Virginia; also the headquarters flags of Gen.
Joseph T. John stoD, P. T. Beauregard and
Earl Van Dorm; stonewall Jackson's cap and
camp stool and autograph writings of all the
Confederate generals. The historical relics
form the best collection Of the kind ever un-
der one roof. The proceeds Of the bazaar are
TO be devoted TO caring for the poor and dis
abIed Confederate soldiers.

Capt. Couch at the Capital.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-Capt. Couch, the
representative of the Oklahoma boomers,
called at the interior department yesterday
on the understanding had with Assistant
Secretary Muldrow that an interview with
Secretary Lamar had been arranged for him.
He was accompanied by his counsel, ex-
Congressman Sidney T. Clark of Kansas, but
found it impossible to see the secretary, al
though both the boomers waited patiently
nearly all day in the ante-room. The failure
of Capt. Couch to get hearing to-day was
not owing to any lack of desire
on the part of Mr.. Lamar to
discuss the Oklahoma situation, but
due to a press Of departmental business that
could not wait. The president sent for the
secretary in the morning, and when the
latter got back from the White house he had
to give hearing or the matter of the Crow
Creek reservation. Capt. Couch's manner
is very quiet in discussing the subject of his
trip. He says be does not court any notoriety,
but is willing to state his case to all inquir-
ers. Capt. Couch has received a number Of
letters and telegrams from Arkans City ad-
vising him that the numbers of Oklahoma
colonists are increasing and that all are in
good spirit.

ANOTHER MEMBER DEAD.
Singular Fatality Among the Illinois Leg
islators.

islators.
SPRINGFIELD, H., April 12.-Death has
claimed another member of the Illinois leg
isature, this time the victim being J. Henry
Shaw of Beardstown, Cass cou nty. About
12;45 o'clock the clerk of the Hotel Palace
missing Representative Shaw at dinner, and
not having seen him during the morning,
went to his room to call him. Receiving
no answer be locked over the transom and
saw him lying as though dead. The door
was broken open and upon examination DR..
Kerr, who had been called, gave it us his
opinion that the representative had been
dead for several hours. The deceased has
been ailing during the whole session, but not
SO that he could not attend to his duties most
of the time Mr.. Shaw was over 90 years of
age aud served in the Thirty-secoud general
assembly, this being his second term He
has been an answering Democrat, and thus
there occurs another break in the ranks
of that party. This makes the third
death during the session. 1t was anticipated
upon Senator Davis assuming the office that
something tangible would be done in rela-
tion to The senatorShip question, but this un-
expected occurrence will agaiu throw it back
for twenty days at least. What makes the
situation still worse II leaves the house at
tie upon any question which will be construed
into party issue and thus retards business.
Members here who wished business to
progress are very much disheartened. The
clerk of Cass county has been tele-
graphed the occurrence and the governor
will be requested to issue writ for new
election to-morrow, which will doubtless be
done, but an election cannot take place be-
fore twenty DAYS after the call. The appear
auee Of the body when found indicated that
Mr.. Shaw died without struggle. His dis
triet is largely Democratic. The coroner had
an inquest this evening and the jury re-
turned s verdict that the deceased came to
his death from causes unknown 70 them.

CLEVELAND AND THE CoLoRED PEOPLE.
The President Makes Sensible Speech to
nusky Delegation.


Special to the Globe.
WAsnNGroN, April 12.-The president
will recognize the colored people of the coun-
try as Il political element, but he wishes to do
1t without making the color line conspicuous.
An that he can do he will do 10 ubliteratc
that line, and make the colored
people feel that they are American citi-
zeus and not special variety, sort of
national wards, for example Several col
orcd men have been urged for the position
of register of the treasury because Register
Bruce is a colortd man. No coored man
will succeed Mr. Bruce The idea that one
office belongs to one class of the community
and another Office belongs to another class
will not bc encouraged. The president in
tends to appoint colored man or two to
office and he wants to do il soon
lie feels that it Is time to do so and he is try
ing 90 decide what place TO put colored man
in. There are several members Of the colored
race whom the president knows and OF whom
he thinks very we'll His selection will be
made from such men as Rev. c. 5. Smith of
Bloomington, Wright Of Cincinnati, Mat
thews OF Albany and George 7. Downing
of Rhode Island. Yesterday when he
crushed Chase, the editor OF the Bee, so
thoroughly he defined his position very fully
10 the other members Of the delegation. Ee
assured them that hc should protect them in
all their rights, that the party he represented
would redeem all pledges it had made for the
fglI and equal protection and recognition Of
The colored people. He told
them to respect themselves,

thinking Of themselves rs American citizens
on q perfect equality with white citizens and
not as a particular set spart from the white
people with special necessities aud ambi-
uous, ana above all ne warned them to be-
ware ot putting too much confidence in dis
reputable leaders of their own color Their
great danger, be told them, was Of trusting
themselves implicitly to unworthy men OF
tbei7 own race like Chase, who used them
simplyto promote their private ambitions
and interests. Chase published in his paper
last November, just after the election, lurid
article asserting that the Southern negroes
should respond 10 any appealto arms against
the Democrats. The pSper had been
furnished 90 the president, aud when Chase
began 70 make his great oratorical effort. the
president pulled out the paper sud asked him
&, he wrote the article alluded 70. Without
paying him any further stteution the presi-
lent gave the rest Of the delegation the as
surance and advice summarized above.

THE BOLD BOOMERS
Awaiting the Presidents Decision-The Con-
dition Of Affairs in oklahoma.


dition of Affairs in Oklahoma.
Special to the Globe.
ARKANSAS CITY, April 12.-The Oklahoma
boomers are showing signs OF restiveness.
They are evidently tired of the do-nothing
policy of their leaders, and have sent Capt.
Couch to Washington for the purpose of try
ing what influence his eloquence will have
upon the president. They built largely
upon the hope that the new administration
would take a different view of the matter
than did the last, but when after giving
hearing to representatives of the would-be
colonizers the president issued his proclama-
ton, taking his stand upon the same ground
as his predecessor, their hopes were blasted.
Their remaining here in camp so long has
been rather expensive, and as they see
no immediate possibility of their
getting into Oklahoma, they are about con-
Guiding that the best thing they can do is to
90 back home, at least that is the way the
sensible people reason. OF course those
who have gone into the movement as they
would into a money-makiug scheme, coua-
sci holding out, assuring the most gullible
that they will tire out and coerce the
government into compliance with their
demands. In the meantime the
troops in camp on the Chilocco creek, six
miles distant, are keeping up their discipline
aud drill Gen. Hatch, whose headquarters
are here in town, keeps himself posted of the
coming and going of the ''boomers," so that
they cannot make u move but what
he is cognizant of it and it is
impossible for any considerable party to get
past the command and enter the coveted
country. If they do slip in in small de-
tachments there are other commands scat
tered through the territory in communication
with each other, making it an easy
matter to eject all trespassers. 1t is gener-
ally understood here that the boomers have
staked their all upon the result of Couch's
mission TO Washington, and that if he fails
TO induce the authorities TO favorable con-
sideration of his claims then they will de-
mart In neacn.

well, postal clerk on the Wabash railroad

at the Union depot to-day for robbing the
mails. Blackwell's operations have extended
over a period of two years and he has not
only stolen letters, but all kinds Of merchan-
disc passing through the mails. A consider
able amount of stolen goods was found in
his room here. He made a full confession
and was locked up.

think they are Wabash general mortgage 6
per cents. The bonds at the time were con-
sidered perfectly good, and since the date of
investment, about five years ago, the interest
has never defaulted. Once it was
delayed for thirty days in the hands of re-
ceiyer. What the bonds are worth now I
don't know. Gov. Morgan
GAVE HIS GUARANTEE
for payment of interest on these bonds for
fifteen years, and further promised to re-
deem all bonds at par if the railroad COM
pany should during that time, fail to pay
interest for six months after the day on
which it became due. The guarantee is per-
fectly legal and binding. The only
question which could possibly arise
is whether in case of a
default by the railroad, it would be possible
for the estate to escape from the necessity of
redeeming the bonds by furnishing the COM
pany with the money to pay the interest on
these specific bonds. The estate is abun-
dainty able to protect these bonds, being
worth millions after all debts and liabilities
have been discharged. In the settlement
of the estate the executors took an order of
surrogate that they should hold the residuary
trust estate subject to this
LIEN OF THE GRANT FUND
Even if any flaw could be found in the guar
antee from legal point Of view, under no
circumstances would the executors repudiate
Gov. Morgan's written promise, which he
himself considered sacred obligation as to
what might be done in case of a default in
interest by the railroad company. Whether
the attempt would be made to furnish
the company with money to pay these
bonds and so escape liability on principal,
the executors are not as yet called on to
state, for no such contingency has as yet oc-
Cured. If the company shall continue to
pay the interest regularly for ten years itwill
be morally certain that the bonds are good,
and no anxiety need be felt in reference to
them.
