WASHINGTON, April 16-After bills had
been introduced and referred for various
purposes, under instructions from his com

The ore and bullion firm OF James +.
Matthews 4 Co.. Denver, Colorado, under
date Of April III, review the copper situa-
tion as follows:
Copper has taken a big jump, and the
price OF Spot Lake ran from 16c. to 1855,
while all the other months advanced in
equal proportion. It is noticeable, how
ever, that there is far less than the usual
difference between spots and futures, SINCE
the highest price obtained for any month
(May) is 1910, while April and June both
rule at 1866, and spots at 16.56- The
chief cause of the advance was the appear
ance in New York of the agent OF
q large London metal house, who
purchased over one million pounds
of copper for near future delivery. In
addition to this, other operators took up
another million pounds. and this drainage,
coupled with the fact that the exports thus
far this year foot up twenty million pounds,
against two million over the same period
in 1887. In addition to these facts it must
be considered that all the large Waterbury
buyers have run their stock down to the
10 vest bed, and must soon purchase very
freely. The syndicate now has absolute
control of nine-tenths of the United States
product, and they will certainly rig the
market to suit themselves. Chilli bars
have remained steady, ranging from $50
5d to ESQ 12s Cd.

Brief Sketch of the Defeat of Glow ;
Ashland.

The following account OF the Glow Conley
fight, at Ashland, Wis, is from the Omaha
World:
1t is doubtful it the conceit was ever SO
quietly whipped out of man as was the
case with John r. Glow tonight in his six
round battle with Conley, the Ithaca giant.
Glow had won forty-two BATTLES without
losing, but he slipped on the forty-third,
being done upir thefourth round. The tight
attracted a bigger crowd to the Ashland
Theatre than was ever before seen there
Every line Of railroad runninginto the town
brought delegations of the sporting frater.
nifty from Duluth, Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Milwaukee and Chicago.
The conditions OF the fight were that il
should last six rounds, Conley to use four
ounce gloves and Glow two-ounce gloves.
Paddy Mcdonald was selected as referee
without any wrangling.
Billy Lyhn, speaking for Glow, said MS
man diI not want any the best oil the hight
and preferred that both wear the same-sized
gloves, but Hayes, for Conley, said he pro-
posed to stick by the articles OF agreement
that Conley would wear four-ounce gloves
and that Glow would wear the smallest per.
missable by law. Glow used the small gloves
first.
The first round was slightly in favor ol
Glow, the Colorado man getting in two good
ones on the giants neck and face.
In the second round Glow got in a fail
blow on Conley's face, but it had no effect
other than to induce Conley to force the
fighting and punish his man. Glow made
efforts to reach Conley's iugular but fel
sbort Glow TANNED Conley on the law and
was knocked down by clever upper cut
AS scou as he regained his feet Conley
pounded his man right and left.
In the third round Conley hit his man five
terrible blows upon the face, following him
around the ring and winding up in Conley' 4
corner, where Glow hid his face in his arms
which he threw over the ropes.
In the fourth round Glow could hardly
hobble in the ring. Conley went at him
hammer and tongs, knocking him against
the ropes, from which he slid to the fooi
and crawled to his corner. The Colorado
"Wonder' refused to fight the NTH FOUND
| and the big Ithacan was awarded the mill.

4 GEORGIA MYSTERY.
A Strange Animal That is Playing Havoc
With Farmers Stock.

StSOhAs
ATLANTA. Ca, April 16.-The farmers in
Barlow County are much excited over the
appearance of an animal that has never
before been cen in this country. For
weeks past sheep, swine and young calves
have been found dead with no visible
cause. but on examination small punct-
ured wound was found under the throat,
smooth and small resembling the stab OF a
stilletto. The mystery became SO great
that the farmers sat up all night watching
for the deadly visitation. A few nights ago
Calvin Leonard, while concealed in his corn
lot, at about the dawn OF day, saw an
animal steal from a thiek underwood near
by and in crouched position.
CAT-L1KE IN MOVEMENT,
crept to a sleeping calf and was about to
thrust it's mouth to the throat OF the call
when Leonard shot. In a second the ami
NAL was out of sight. He says it's move
ment was like that OF the coyote, but in
appearance was unlike anything he had
ever before seen. It was of a dark copper
color, with a sharp, possum-shaped head
and small bead-like eyes, the head bushy
and erect, and the body long and smooth.
Men have banded together and searched for
it day and night, but have been unable to
kill or capture it. On one occasion pack
OF hounds pursued it, when suddenly the
leading dog came whining back with stream
OF blood oozing from the throat, and in
half an hour died. A scientist by the name
of Gredulet has offered $1O0 for the animal
dead or alive.

Young woman named Emma Tombs, who
goes into frances, the length OF which she

trance owe thirty days. Emma sank into
her present sleep Sunday, March IL. She
had laid wide awake eight consecutive days
aud nights, partaking during that time
of more nourishment than in all the ELK
months OF her previous trance, the amount
being about glassful OF milk, administered
in teaspoonfuls. During
HER PRESENT TRANCE
the physicians who called has managed to
force between her lips few teaspoonfuls OF
the liquid, but this is difficult feat, as she
rarely parts her lips. When closed her teeth
are firm as a vice, an effort to pry them
open proving useless. She lies almost per-
fectly still, her legs and arms being perfectly
white and cold and pulse very feeble, being
rated in the absence Of chronometer at
sixty-five beats per minute. The lace is the
ouly warm part of her body, being flushed
with alternating fever. When some time
ago she predicted to the reporter she would
sleep for thirty days and perhaps longer,
she did so without the least hesitation.

New York Girls and Women Have 3 Pc
culiar Gait for Women and Summer.

There is material just now for an inter
esting social study OF the feminine gait in
walking. The city is in a transition state
between the old walk and the new. There
are winter walks and there are spring walks
and the differences between them, if subtle
are to the careful observer as clearly de
fined as those between the winter bonnet
and the gorgeous Eastern creation.
Cold Gather varieties OF the walk as ex
hibitei by city women and girls are, as q
rule, OF the short step, high action, side
wise, mincipg order. The prevalence OF the
muff habit has much to do with determin
| ing the character of the winter gait. Only
certain steps in walking are possible to the
nuff, and these are cultivated to high de
gree OF perfection. The summer walk, on
the other hand, is regulated wholly by ths
possibilities Of the parasoi, which requires
something of a demure, digniied; on occa-
sion, OF a stately order. Between these two,
however, comes the spring walk, differing
widely from both sui generis.
The English woman carries walking
stick. some few New York girls have been
yenturing enough to import the habit. The
walking stick has made it's debut ON Fifth
avenue-a slender, graceful, silver-ringed.
toy imitation Of the sturdy English proto-
type-and the stick or the gait generated
by the stick lu London, promises to control
the spring walk.
The walking-stick walk is distinguished
from the inuff walk or the parasol walk by
its long. easy swing. Itapproximates what
the DeIsartians call savage stride. 1t is
intended TO convey the idea OF physical
vigor of rejoicing in the fulness OF life and
health, it, is youthful and inyigorating, It
emphasizes it's absolute control over the
muscles, it is almost insoient in it's exulta-
ton in sunshine, bodily perfection, out-of-
door life and fresh. air. The walking-stick
walk is taiIor-made walk, but it admits
OF genuine exercise which the French mo-
distes' walk never did. It is a very good
walk in ite way. 1t is the fashion. lttakes.
