THE ENGLISH SYNDICATE

Z ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 6.-[Special Tele-
gram to The BEE. AN English syndicate
is seeking to obtain possession of the princi-
pal breweries and the Touring mills in st.
Paul, as well as the Crosby mills in Mime,
apolis Their agents are now in the city ex-
amining into the business of the industries
which the syndicate proposes to buy If the
report of the experts be favorable 1t is un-
derstood that the owners are willing to sell
for an amount based on the profits which
their books show for period of years past.
The deal will involve in the neighborhood of

AMERICAN WOOL
The Great Bulk of Seaboard Pur-
chases Above Quotations.

Boston, Noy9 i6.-[Specal Telegram to
THE BEE. The American Wool Reporter
will say Tomorrow in its review of the
week, that while on the seaboard the sales
foot up fair aggregate from the daily pur
chases of man ufacturers, yet the latter make
q hard fight for lower figures upon nearly
every transaction. The great bulk of the
purchases, however, are above quotations.
The sales of Michigan x have been at 30c
and holders are so firm that it is generally
impossible to buy at that figure with a
brokerage off. The sales of Michigan de-
LANES have been generally at 33c and of
Ohio at 321s@3514c. Delaine woods hold
up better than shorter selections
and unless very marked and
unexpected Improvement now occurs there
is going to be great deal of money lost on
Michigan woods this year. and holders of
them naturally give way very reluctantly.
The fleece wool market is dull, put this can
be accounted tor by reason of the short sup
plies, though considerable wool is due here.
In the absence OF transactions we can quote
romnally Ohio XXX and above ut 34c. A
choice medium washer, combing, can be had
at &c. a fine Ohio unwashed is properly
quoted at 23C924c. Stale woods range from
21c to 22c and understandable at 25(D26c.
Buyers have gwen fair share of attention
to pulled woods, the sales showing q good
movement. Pullers are handling Canadian
combining very largely and good supply of
ModocS is coming In. Prices remain steady
A q to x blood lamb can be got up for about
4S(049c clean. The center Of attraction,
however, seems to be upon Texas wool.
There are very few short spring woods in
the market The sales made have been at
figures equivalaDt to 55c clean. The fall
woods are coming in freely and are being
taken up rapidly. The woods showing a
shr;nkage varying from 56 to go per cent are
being sold ut 2l6l23c A small sale of year
growth has been made, but the price is not
plVen. We understand that an offer of 25
cents was declined on u large line.
CALIFORNIA; have been in good move
ment. The fine fall free woods are
selling at about 4SQ150c clean. Seaboard
quotations are as follows Ohio Xxx, 1890

THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
Greeley's Annual Report OF the
Weather Bureau.

Weather Bureau.
WAsuINGToN, Nov. 6.-General Greeley,
chief signal officer, in his annual report saws
..In the performance of tho strict military
duties which by law devolves on him, the
CHIEF sigpal officer is seriously embarrassed
by the utter lack Of facilities for using or
caring for field telegraph trains or other
signal service equipments under his charges;
for the practical training and drilling OF the
officers and enlisted men of the signal corps
and lastly, to a minor extent, by the need
of liberal appropriations. Under such con-
ditions the officers and men OF this service
are gradually but surely retrogradiug as re-
CARDS tteir military duties and at the end OF
the fiscal year the condition of signal In
struction in the army is at the lowest ebb it
has ever known
He recommends, therefore, either that in-
structions in the art of military signalling be
abandoned or ample material and moral
support given the chief so that he may raise
it to high standard of efficiency.
Speaking of the weather forecasts, General
Greeley calls attention to the fact that under
the present conditions the forecast officer can
devote barely half minute to the predic-
tions for any particular state or district The
percentages of successful forecasts made by
Prof Marvin are for weather, S44; tenn
perature 15.S, with a general average of 81.
During the year 066 storm Signals of all
kinds were ordered, of which ESQ were wholly
and "a partly justified as to velocity and $50
as to direction. On the Pacific coast terri
tory, in charge of Lieutenant MaXfield, the
per cent of successful forecasts increased
from 1873 in 1887 to So In 1888.

LONG DELAYED JUsTfCE.
A Former Iowa Man Arrested For n
War Time Crime.


CHICAGO. Nov. 6.-Detective Norris, of
this evening and said he had just returned
from Joplin, Mo-, from tracing an old crime
committed in Iowa City during the war.
John Swsnton. now O wealthy and re-
spected resident in the vicinity of Joplin,
was during the war member of
Quantrell's band of raiders. He and
friend named Bailey were ac-
customed to separate from tho main
band and skirmish for themselves. One
night IN the year 1862 they and u third COM
panion came to the barn of a wealthy Iowa
farmer, Josiah Holbrook They took his
horses from the barn, left their old ones in it
and set fire TO the building. When they
were making away Holbrooks son, who was
coming home on furlough, saw them
and soon had posse in pur-
suit. Bailey was captured, Swanton
escaped and the other man was killed.
Swanton went to Ohio and settled down,
but Bailey escaped from the Iowa prison
and joined Swanton. They then returned to
Iowa and took revenge for the death of their
companion by burning the Sackard mill at
Iowa City because one of the Sackard fam
lily was member of the pursuing posse.
Both men were caught but managed TO get
released on bonds. which they jumped. Soon
after the war Swanton returned to his old
home in Missouri, where he has prospered.
Detective Morris says when he call ed
on Swanton the latter said the case was out
lawed but the sight of an indictment by the
grand jury of Iowa City cansed HIM to ask
on what terms it could be settled, Norris
says the case can be settled by Swanton pay
ing the 50, 200 insurance which was on the
Swanton will take. Bailey, he says will be
arrested in u short time.

Votes.

Tho Democracy on Top
Complete Returns.


The Result.
Completed unofficial returns from every
voting precinct in this county are herewith
presented to our readers.
The total vote of the county foots up
1868 This is less than GO per cent of the
actual voting population, and falls 5000 be-
low the vote of 1883. which brought out the
full party strength on each side in presi-
dental election contest.
Douglas county has this time gone
democratic by nearly one thousand
majority. But the general dissatisfaction
with candidates of both parties caused an
immense amount of scratching and an un-
precedented variation in the vote received
by different candidates. Thus while Coburn
is showed under by $500 majority, Megeath,
democratic candidate for recorder, carries
the county by about 1,3O0 and Snyder, for
treasurer, by 400. DIR. Harrigan, for.coroner,
Is elected by about 100, and Berlin, re-
publican, carries the county over Barney
McGinnis by about 500.
Joseph Clarkson, the bar association can
didate for district judge, is handsomely en-
dorsed by over 1,60o majority in this county.
