brutal OUTRAGE was committed in this city
yesterday afternoon in broad daylight. Mrs.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec S.-There was another
panic at the Oil exchange this morning and
prices dropped to 66@, decline of 13 cents
since the opening yesterday. The oil traders
i'll this city are entirely at sea- and old dealers
who passed safely through the great break in
1882, and still later the panic following the
failure of the Penn bank in 1884, unite in say
ing that never in their recollection was de-
mOralizatiOn so complete. No one seems able
to give satisfactory explanation for the
sudden break, and the fear OF a still further
decline is written clearly on the faces of all.
A number OF local banks are now calling in
their Oil loans, and others refuse to accept
them without heavy margins. This it is
thonght, will have tendency to check spec
ulation. The market opened feverish at
72s4c, and after hcvering in that neighbor-
hood for some time

slight reaction then followed and at noon CSC

that hour all the sheets had passed the clear

barrels OF his oil were sold under the rule to

The amount is small, and it is said will not
exceed $500. In the af ernoon, toward the
close dealers in Oil City began buying heavily
and this had the effect of stihening values
here and elsewhere. feeling that the
worst is over is prevalent in oil circles this
evening. but it will be some time before the

panicky again this morning, and at noon had
dropped cents from the opening figure.
There were several lots of oil sold under the
rule for the account of brokers who were uu.
able 10 deposit margins There is very un-
settled feeling in the market. All street op-
orators generally believe that the decline is
caused by the high rates ruling in the money
market. The production, notwithstanding
the new wells reported, remains below 10000
barrels per day.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. SIT is generally
believed here that diplomatic questions of
grave Importance will soon arise between the
United States and Mexico, growing out of the
position taken by President Cleveland against
the right of Mexico to try Americans COM
mitting offeuses against Mexican laws while
on American soil. TIE newspapers of all
shades of opinion stand by the
government in this matter on
the ground that the principle
is sound one, and approved by some of the
most highly civilized nations in the world.
Preliminary judicial proceedings have been
taken to bring criminal libel suits against the
authors of the recent reports regarding
Minister Manning's conduct at q private
dinner. The physician who has been at
tending Minister Manning saws he has been
suffering from two distinct complaints, dis
tressiug umbillical affection and incipient
pneumonia. Minister Manning is at the lega-
tion discharging the ordinary duties of his
Office.
