Niulvey has created considerable excitement and
the matter Will undoubtedly be taken into court.
1.-The EAGLE has contradicted the
outrageously false statements of the
Times Wichita correspondent in matters
affecting this city, until it has become
irksome in the extreme. Why he per
sists in defaming the city and its people
is past finding out, and it does seem that
repeated contradictions made of his
ISLANDERS would prompt that paper, as a
matter of self protection if nothing else,
to be little more guarded in publishing
statements from him touching this city
and its material concerns. As TO the
special above quoted, every citizen OF
Wichita who reads the published reports
of the council proceedings knows that
there has been no charges preferred,
directly or indirectly, against ex-City
Engineer Mulvey, or any other city
officer, nor the sewer contractors, but on
the contrary the sewer committee in
their report to the council at the meeting
referred to by the special liar, stated
specifically that the sewer work was be-
ing performed, both in the construction
and material used, according to the
terms of the contract,

If really serious war broke out, in
which one or more of the great naval
powers endeavored to intervene between
England and the sources of her food
supplies, there would be famine in that
country in week. The London Ship
ping Gazette says this is fact which
has never sufficiently impressed itself
upon the imaginations of the English
people, or upon the intellects of their
statesmen. But it is a fact nevertheless.
And Notwithstanding this fact the food
supply of the United Kingdom, of its
own production, is constantly decreas-
ing. In view of these facts it may be
safely stated that England will never
become engaged in another really seri-
Gus war that might array one or more
of the great powers against her, if it be
possible to avert it by diplomacy.

The wool interests of the country still
appear to be much disturbed over the
disadvantage at which it is placed in the
matter of competition with foreign
products by reason of alleged adverse
legislation by congress during the past
few years. The officers of the National
Woolgrowers association have recently
addressed letter to the president urg-
ing him to call congress together i'll ex-
ira session at as early day as possible
for the especial purpose of remedying
the evils of which they complain. The
Fifty first congress will most likely be
convened before the regular time of
meeting, but hardly before October.

Neither does the editor. He is not

engaged started the bears TO hammering.
They did not part with much stock, and after
a temporary reaction the market ffrmed
up TO about the opening prices. The bears
still maintain that nothing will be accom-
plishcd at the Chicago meeting of the presi-
dents this week, and that stocks will sell
very much lower in the near future. The
bulls did nottalk with the assurance that has
lately characterized their utterauces, though
they had by no means lost confidence. Stocks
were IN plentiful supply in the loan crowd,
graugcrs being about the only stocks in de
mand. Money ruled easy at 11sM2 per cent.
At noon the market was quiet and fairly
steady, generally at slight fractions from the
opening prices. The market ruled soft dur
ing the afternoon, with large selling in Atchi-
son and Union Pacific by the Boston houses.
The news from Chicago was not so s~atlsfac-
tory rs the bulls had hoped for, the absence
of Illinois Central and Chicago, Burlington

rumors Of a disagreement. The net declines
for the day show Atchison, ~ Union Pacific,
