IRON TRADE REVIEW.
No Change for the Better Noticeable
in the Local Situation.
TRYING TO CARRY LIGHT STOCKS.
After the Holidays More Active Movement
is Expected.
REPORTS FROM THE LEADING CENTERs

There is no change for the better in iron
markets. since last weeks report. The time
Of the year is at hand when transactions are
uniformly light, and this season proves e1-
ceptionally dull, owing to tight money
market. Consumers OF raw irons aim to
carry as light stocks as possible at the close
of the year, and hence no active movement
is looked Tor until after the holidays. AS
finished products have held up well thus
far. manufacturers will, no doubt, be COM
PEELED TO replenish stocks of raw iron at an
early day. Prices of gray forge and Besse-
mer iron stands as quoted last
week, and while markets are slow
aud dull. there is no disposition
on the part of holders to make conces
sions. The feeling is general among dealers
that bottom has been reached Manufactured
iron Is not so brisk as ii has been Tor lew
weeks past, but this was anticipated by manu-
1acturers, and the quiet time has been longer
delayed than usual. Steel nails aud rails are
quiet, but prices remain unchanged. The
demand Tor structural iron holds up unusually
well or this time Of the year.

4 Runaway.

Mr.. +. II. CarOtherS. who is here buying
and shipping fine horses to Mexico, had
serious runaway this morning on Com
merce street. A fine racer he had bought
in Kyle was hitchrd to a buggy belonging
to the Hicks stables, and was tied in front
Of PanCOaSt'S store. Some vehicle must
have struck the buggy in passing and this
frightened the horse and away he dashed
up Commerce street, taking in the side
walk on the south side. When he passed
the Singer Sewing Machine office. the
buggy cOIided with the new red wagon of
that company. standing at the curb, and
damaged it very badly. Continuing up
the sidewalk the horse took the foot walk
of the bridge and the now overturned
buggy was wedgcd in, about the center of
the bridge, a complete wreck. The horse.
unhurt, was caught in front Of the LIGHT

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-The Republican
Senatorial caucus tonight was the most
important held this year. 1t was very in
harmonious meeting. Quay and Cameron
both made speeches and strongly repre-
scented the political inexpediency of doing
anything with the Federal Election Bill at
present, and urged the necessity of an
early adjournment from party standpoint
Aldrich, who is also on that side of the
house which desires adjournment, was the
spokesman for those Senators who view
the embarrassment and delay over the
Tariff Bill as outweighing all other consid-
era tions in deciding the policy to be pur-
sued. Plumb also spoke, and, it is under
stood, opposed the Election Bill out and
out.
For the friends of the bill which caused
these numerous caucuses Hoar and Spencer
were champions. The latter made a
strong speech, which some denominated
reading the Riot Act" He warned the
Senators that they must meet the issue
squarely The Election Bill must be
passed at this session or not at all. 1t would
be futile to 20 before the country with any
statement that this bill would be passed at
the short session. 1t was Of supreme I'M
portance that it should be passed at once,
His remarks brought out sharp retorts from
the opponents Of the BILL
The discussion showed there was a
greater number of Senators than has been
generally supposed. who for one reason or
another are willing to adjourn without the
Election Bill being voted upon. The num-
Der of these Senators are placed at fifteen.
Finally, about 10;3O o'clock, adjournment
was proposed and was forced by majority

The Suicide of Nswton Graaoru.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 14-Information from
Oceanside is to the effect that Newton Greg
DRY, California Southern Agent at that
place, committed suicide by firing seven
shots from a 22-caliber revolver. Two
shots were fred in the forehead, two over
the right temple and three back of the
right ear. The bullets in the forehead were
f1attened against the bone. but not fractur-
ing the skull. Those over the temple made
slight fracture, aud those back of the ear
produced death. He fired the first three
shots while sitting in a chair. These not
having the desired effect he reloaded his
revolver, blew out the lamp and fired four
more. He fell to the floor and lived TWEEN
ty minutes. The inquest to-day found that
deceased died from the effects Of gunshot
wounds inflicted by his own hands while
labOring under temporary insanity pro-
duced by oveTwork, loss of sleep and anx-
iety. His parents live in Redlands, and bis
remains will be taken there for burial. He

CHICKASAW ELECTIONS.
Separate Polls for whites-Ths Result to Pc
Contested

Separate Polls for Whites-The Result to Pc
Contested
ARDMoRE, Aug 14.-News is received
here from the ChIckasaw election from Dap
land, polling place 10 Pickens County.
The polls were opened early In the morning
by the full-blood party and the first sQuaw-
man who attempted to vote was refused the
privilege. Other sQuaw-men made the same
attempt and met with the same experience.
The squaw-men, about one hundred in num-
Der, held council ami were addressed by
George Bennett, the Indian agent, who ad-
-vised peaceful measures, ana Z. 81 &c s,ssit
them to put up poll Of their own. He tid
them he would recognize their judges Of
election so far as certifying to the returns
went The squaw-men acted upon his id-
vice and erected poll. at which all lhe
white men voted Close by was an indian
poll, and every one with Chickasaw blood
in him voted there.
The plan of the squaw-men is to contest
the election and carry their returns to
the Indian Court. II the Indian Court
adjudges the squaw-men to be aliens
then they must be citizens. and AS such
they will appeal to the Federal Court. The
latter Will then decide as to whether they
are United States citizens or not, and thus
finally decide the question.
WYNwooD Qnd. T.), Aug. IA runner
arrived early tnlS morning, alter travel
ing fifty miles, from Stonewall. The
largest voting place and the center of in
terest in the election. Both candidates for
Governor, Sam Paul and William Byrd,
were at the polls all day. Each had large
number of men at his back Paul's sup
porters were the dlsfranchised whites,
while the full bloods and most Of the
halfbreeds were for Byrd. Governor
Byrd brought the militia about the
poll, forming circle about it. The first
squaw-man was refused the privilege of
voting and retired, and the whites left, and
Byrd and his militia ran things to suit
themselves, and even prevented those Indi-
ans from voting whom they knew were for
Paul. The result was Jog for Byrd. for
Paul, and 10 for Burris Qnd.) Enough is
known to assure Byrd's election and the
success of the So-called Indian party, but
the election is bound to be contested.
