Profound Sensation.

fore the opening of the stock exchange, an
nouncing the troubles of Barring Bros, and
stating that the Bank of England, Roths-
childs and other bankers had taken I'D &C
counts of Barring Bros amounting to 910,-
O0,OO0 created q profound sensation.
At IL a. m. a semi-panic prevailed, prices
gave way in every direction and brokers were
dismayed at the prospects. After Ills there
was rally, caused by the following cable
from London:
'"The guarantee fund of Barring Bros.
Co., it is stated, amounts to ten millions
sterling. The various financial, banking and
discount houses guaranteeing the fund, state
that the crisis is over and the failure of the
firm has been averted."
kidder, Peabody i Co., who are the agents
here Of Barring Bros. & Co., London, say they
had private advices from London that what
ever trouble there may have been has been
completely arranged. The trouble was
doubtless caused entirely by the depression
in Argentine securities. Our house is in nc
wise affected. Thomas Barring, who is now
at the Office of kidder, Peabody 4 Co., states
that he has nothing to- add to the above state

E1cIt.ment at 81. Joseph.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. November 1S.-A short
time after the east bound Rock Island pas
senger train pulled into the depot, and while
the platform was crowded with passengers, a
report equal to a cannon was heard and Dor
tons of the dining car, a miscellaneous as
sortment of eggs, meat, vegetables and cook
ing utensils few in the air in the midst of a
dense cloud of steam and smoke. A mixed
assortment of colored cooks, walters and a
few guests who were at supper in the car
poured out of the doors and windows, and
some of them almost forgot to stop running
for several minutes.
When the excitement subsidized it was found
that the large steam reservoir, nearly in the
center of the car, had exploded and sue
ceeded in quito effectually wrecking the car.
What caused the explosion is not known, but
it is supposed the water was allowed to run
too low.
A piece of the reservoir weighing a couple
of hundred pounds was blown nearly fifty
feet away, but luckily went in an opposite
direction from the crowd of people or serious
damage might have resulted. One of the
cooks who was near the reservoir, was con-
siderably scalded about the hands and face,
but was the only one injured.

Oklah ema Legislature.

GUTHRIE, o. T., November 15.-The CAPT.
tai bill locating the seat of government al
Kingfsher was signed by Speaker Daniels,
Of the house, and the clerk rushed frantically
with the measure to the senate. A most
ridiculous scene was INDUCED in in that body
by tho democrats, republicans and people s
men alike. They acted ike wild men. The
president of the council was voted out of his
chair and his Office declared vacant. This
occurred because the president modestly re-
quested that he be allowed until the morning
hour to consider the measure before attach
ing his signature. Demands were made:
Sign it, or step down and out" Garden
hire took seat on the floor with the bill IN
his hand. After long time the president
was reinstated and then he signed the bill.
The impression is that Steele will veto it.
Then another high time is anticipated.

Gould, in which Mr.. Gould says that he and
his friends have secured controlling interest
in the Union Pacific railway; and that Pres

view includeg statements affecting the Santa

PRESIDENT ADAMS DENIES IT.
BosToN.-President Adams. of the Union
Pacific railroad, sand, in an interview with
an Associated Press reporter: 81 am ALSO
lutely ignorant of the alleged facts in Mr..
Gould's interview, and l greatly question
whether Mr.. Gould ever made the remarks
attributed to him. The Union Pacific is not
negotiating with any railroad; is at peace
with all the world; is maintaining good rates
on its traffic and will probably continue to
be operated with conservatism in Its traffic
affairs"
BosToN.-A special from New York says
Mr. Gould was asked whether he was secur-
ing control of the Union Pacific. He replied
that he was not giving away his own bust
ness. He further SAID, 81 am not buying

Patriotic Sentiments.

COLUMBUS, ON his speech at the BAN
quet given in honor OF his 18th birthday,
Allen G. Thurman said he was now, at the
age of n yeaas, able to repeat his testimony
of his confidence in the beneficent effects OF
free institutions, and his firm belief in their
duration on this continent, and their extension
over large portions of the globe. In his sew
enty years of observation. he had seen his
native land increase seven fold in population,
and to greater degree in wealth. extent OF
territory, and in the well being and pros
perity of the people. In the same seventy
seven years, the constitution of nearly every
government in Europe has been ameliorated
by more liberal principles. More marvellous
yet, the light seemed to be breaking over be-
nighted Africa, to awaken her from her bar
barrie sleep of centuries. Freedom, he con-
tinued, was gradually circumventing the
globe, and proud thought for US, the polar
star of the navigator is our own republic of
the United States.

The Fate of His Father.

LONDON, November 1S.-From good sources
- Germany-the same sources which pre-
dicted the fatal termination OF the Kaiser's
malady when the inspired German papers
were full of unfounded congratulations on
his convRlescence-comes a confidential re-
port to the effect that the present emperor is
in grave peril of insanity.
He Is suffering from an aural disease, akin
to that which affected his fathers throat, and
about the exact nature of which his physi-
clans differ.
Some, it is understood, say that 1t can be
cured or, at least, held In check. Others say
The emperor has insisted upon full and
candid reports from his medical advisers,
and his characteristic habit of lestlessness II
growing on him more month by month.

cago Dressed Beef company, who was arrested
some months ago on a charge of selling
meats that had not been inspected in this

The lower court held that the law was I'M

decision of the lower court was affirmed,
Judge Berkshire holding that the act of the

Western Nebraska Hungry.

LINCOLN, NEB., November 15.-The yield
of corn is much less than anticipated, the
average in this part of the state being less
than ten bushels to the acre and further west
even less.
Farmers have nothing to feed with and
vast quantities of hogs half fattened are be-
ing rushed to market and sacrificed at very
low prices. Corn is selling on the streets for
from so to So cents per bushel.
1t is impossible to disguise the fact that in
western counties there is much restitution.
Many homesteads are heavily encountered
and few have been abandoned.
Women and children are suffering for food,
clothing and fuel. The churches and beney-
olent inclined people are quietly organizing
for their relief.

Industrial and Commercial Conditions so
Favorable that Wall Street Gamb-
ling Has Not its Old Time Ef-
feet on General Business.
NEW YORK. November 17.-R. G. Dun &

NEW York. November 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Those who have long expected severe reac-
ton in the stock market have now seen the
average of prices thrown back to lower
point than has been touched at any other
time for more than four years. 1t remains
the fact that the legitimate business through
the country is the largest ever known, not
much inflated or endangered by speculation,
and so far sound that complaints in regard
to collections have been much fewer than
usual. The check now sustained may not
improbably produce some shrinkage in trans
actions and dImiLutIon of prices, but the in
dustrial and commercial conditions have
been so favorable that speculative disturb
ances are the less likely to effect general
business seriously. Reports from other cities
show hat at most points the events in Wall
street have had little or no effect as yet.
At Cincinnati money is light, but collec-
tions very fair.
At Omaha. st. Paul, Den7er and Kansas
City money is in strong demand, collections
healthy and business good.
Southern cities make much the same re-
port. The demand for manufactured pro-
ducts is now distinctly smaller, and in rail-
road supplies decrease is foreshadowed by
financial troubles. The coal trade is dull.
Tin is "a cent lower; copper steady and lead
weak because of considerable importations.
India rubber is lower. The boot and shoe
trade is somewhat checked by the prospect
of reaction in leather, but prices range
higher than last year. In dry goods. there
is observed some hesitancy by buyers, but
mills are well sold up. Woolens, slightly
better prices in some cases, and dress goods
are firm. Breadstuffs are slower, exports IN
October showing a heavy decrease. Wheat
falls cents for the week; corn 81 and oats
nearly cents. Pork products are steady,
coffee and cotton unchanged, and oil is 81
cents lower. In general speculation in pro-
ducts is less active than usual. The treasury
has put out 100000 more silver notes, but
taken in 81 100000 more of other money, its
offer to buy bonds being ineffective.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past seven days
number 266, as compared with 215 last
week. For the corresponding week of last
year the figures we're 265.

For Fnture Pnnishment.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. November 17.-Reports
to the national alliance headquarters regard
ing the situation in Kansas grow more and
more discouraging.
The officials here have about given up hope
of defeating Ingalls,. Letters have been re-
ceived from B. II. Clover, the president OF
the Kansas alliance and others.
They say it is becoming apparent that
some of the men elected to the legislature on
the alliance ticket are not to be depended
upon.
These men slipped into the farmers move
ment when the tide was the highest, secured
places on the ticket, were elected on the anti
Ingalls, platform, and are now going to vote
for Ingalls,.
They are branded by the writers as trait
ors to alliance principles, and are to be
spotted for future punishment.
