The Wool Market Excited

BosToN, July 1oth.-The excitement in
the wool market continues without abate-
ment. The demand is good from manu-
facturers, and there is more or less specu-
latiye inquiry. The recent advance has
been established on permanent basis now.
and there is every indication that it will be
maintained. In some instances further
improvement has been realized. The me-
dunn grades are most sought after, and
command extreme prices. There NAV be a
further advance in desirable lots, but fine
woods are in good supply and the demand
for them is not so pressing and urgent.
The tone is firm, and holders are confident
that there is every prospect of good trade
aud good prices for seme time to come.
The demand for California wool continues
good, and the market IS firm. The sales
for the week have been 1,210,000 pounds.
of which zoo, 900 pounds were sold at lS(a
22c., and $4,000 pounds on private terms.
Choice Northern woolsis held at 276 9sc.
Ninety-five thousand. pounds of Oregon
wool were sold on private terms. The re-
ceipts of the week have been 32.O59 bales
domestic and 1892 bales foreign.

Succes& ui Passage Th.ovgh the Niagara
Whirlpool.
BUFFALO IN. ", July 11th.-Verv few
of the thous ands of persons who visited
Niagara Fahs to-day had any idea that
another adyentur, Us man would ATTEMPT
to swim the whirlpool rapids in which
Captain Webb lost his life. For some
time past c. d. Graham has been making
preparations for the attemst. hut few per
sons really believed that his courage would
hold oat.loDg enough for hiIn. TO make il.
Such, hogever, was not the case. and at
about O'Clock this afternoon Graham
started on his perilous voyage, which he
successfully accomplished. Graham had
told Mr. Porter all about his plans, and re-
lated that he would carry them out at the
ume ne dld, but requested that the time be
not given in publishing the article for
fear thas the authorities would Prevent
him III his purpose. Accordingly veyy few
were among the spectators. Graham kept
the cask, in which he intended to make his
trip, IN saloon i'll this city Asout
ii o'clock last night he loaded it in q.
wagon, and accompanied by several friends.
started tor the Fails. They arrived there
about o'clock this morning and unloaded
the cask at point on the American side of
the river, below the Falls, and about 300,
rods above the Cantileyer bridge. Some no.
Hcemen arrested him on suspicion of being
a Tonawanda horse thief, but his Buffalo
friends secured his release on bail. When
everything was ready, Graham got into the
barrel and closed the manhoie at the ton.
At this point of the river the current is
very slight. A small boat towed the cask
out into the river to a point where the cur
rent would catch it, and where Graham
was started on what might have turned out
to be his trip to eternity. The towing pro-
cess took only few minutes, and then the
stream caught the caslS and started it toward
the whirlpool AT push it moved slowly
down, then faster and faster until the mad
current dashed ii on with its full force.
The cask bounded up and down over the
great waves, and several times turned a
somersault, but the wider por-
ton remained uppermost, although it
turned around like top. The cask kept
pretty well in the center of the river until
it reached the whirlpool. when it struck a
strong side current and was carried swiftly !
through, reaching the waters beyond in |
safety. From here the Journey was COM
paratively quiet. The cask was picked up !
At Lewiston, about five miles below the |
starting point, and Graham crawled out of |
the barrel with only slight bruise on his !
arm. He remarked When struck the |
eddies it was one continued round of Jerks, |

WASHINGTON, July 11th.-To-morrow is
District day in the House The Com
mittee on District of Columbia has a num-
Der of local measures awaiting action. but
it is possible that it may yield sufficient
| time TO allow consideration of the fortifica-
tions appropriation bill, the only appropri-
alton bill that has not yet been passed by
, the House.
Under Saturdays order, Mr.. Morrison's
surplus resolution will be called up on
Tuesday
The action of the Appropriations Com
| mittee on amendments made by the Senate
to the legislative appropriation bill is
| awaiting consideration by the House. The
subject is likely to be taken up about the
middle of the week. The bill for new
naval establishment will be called for ac-
| ton, if opportunity offers, toward the end
of the week.
If there should remain few hours after
the disposal of the measures above men
toned, several committees stand ready to
call up bills for which special orders have
| been made, including the Pacific railway
| funding bill, the interstate commerce bill
and the land grant forfeiture bill. The
| river and harbor bill remains at the begin
| ming of last weeks unfinished business in
| the Senate. Senator Mcmillan. who has it
| in charge, expresses hope that it will be
| passed tomorrow, but no attempt will be
made to cut short the debate upon it. 1t is
possible that the Mississippi river clause
| mot yet reached) will keep the measure
| before the Senate two or three days longer
There is an understanding that the naval
appropriation bill and the oleomargarine
bill shall follow the river and harbor bill,
and these are likely to consume a week
The sundry civil bill will probably be re-
ported to the Senate on Monday or Tues
day, but will hardly be called up until
next week. The executive calendar has
sixty or seventy unobjected cases, and
nearly dozen of which are reported ad-
versely.

WOULD CREMATIesss HIDE CRrME-The
only objection to cremation which has any
real force is that the practice might destroy
evidences of crime. This is a superficial
view OF the matter, Tor if cremation were
established, greater precautions would be
taken to ascertain the true causes of death.
AZ present, if person dies suddenly, or is
found dead in bed, no post mortem is held
or legal inquiry instituted. A medical
man signs the certificate of death from par
alysis of the heart, apoplexy, or some other
supposed trouble. Consequently, our vital
statistics are worthless. and afford no facts
on which to base deduction in regard to
the mortality ofthe country. If cremation
were the custom, a, mach more rigid course
of inquiry woulds be adopted. Necropsies
would be the -rule>Instead of the exception.
