[By Anglo-American cable TO the Dispatch.l
ROME, May 19.-The controversy with
the United States growing out Of the New
Orleans massacre is playing an important part
in Italian politics. II furnishes material for tho
opposition and may yet result in the oyerturn OF
the present Ministry.
1t is reported that the Marquis di Rudini avOws
that Signor COrte was recalled from New Orleans
because the Cabinet did not approve Of his con-
duct.

Tile BILLS ouIEscENr.

The late bull leaders are doing nothing nj
present, and In the opinion Of the best informed
people, are not likely 10 do anything until the
European situation Is clearer, which, according
to adyices, cannot be before the end OF this
month. The general expectation Of better
state OF affairs after that time, however, pre-
vents anything like liquidation oflong holdings,
and the progress made in depressing prices is
almost entirely tho result Of the efforts OF the
active bears IN the market.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1891-05-20

Tho opening advances to-day reached as high
a. IS per cent, but further gains were not made
until after u severe drive had brought prices
down again, wlpiug out all the early opening
gains, and even more In Missouri Pacific and the
Northern Pacidcs. The general bullish feeling
engendered by the buoyancy Of foreign markets
and the buying Of arbitrage brokers' was SUM-
cicnt TO cause a rally, which, before noon, had
placed almost all the leading shares somewhat
above the opening prices, 81. Paul, Rock Island,
Chicago gas, and Union Pacific being especially
prominent for the strength displayed, the first
named gaining nearly per cent.

DAILY MOVEMENT AT INTERIOR TOWNS.

GRAIN AND PROVISION MARI Ts.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, March 17.-All traders
were trying to buy wheat at once this
morning. The market suddenly responded.
After it once got started upward it looked
as though it was going up out of sight.
Before the last of the sherts had bought
their wheat the price for May was l.021a
against LOIS.
The bulls III corn found it no trouble to
advance prices sharply. After the market
had scored good advance, however, they
found that some of the holders of grain
were selling. May started at 62%c to 631Sc,
sold 63Hc off to csc, up to Csc and off 10
63Hc.
Receipts of hogs at the yards were 10000
head short of what the trade expected. The
result was great scramble to buy among
shorts, which was helped along by ju-
dicious buying by packers. The rise which
followed was met with heavy sales by
halders.

different ears and under different CIR
cumstances. When Mr.. Seward was
in Alaska, says his son, the people
were naturally very desirous TO treat
him handsomely.
Some amusement was occasioned at
the table, n day, by the remark OF
one OF the ladies that they had been
much disappointed at obtaining no
beef by the last steamer, as all were
looking for steaks.

Electric heating is promised as one
o the new uses OF electricity, A Chi
cago company has already, in fact, a
system of electric heating which it is
introducing with fair prospects OF sue
cess, The heating OF railroad cars is,

system has chiefly addressed itself,
though it is also applied to domestic
purposes. In the parlor, l~iving.rooms

odious stove and range, with their
smoke, SCOT, coal, dust and dirt.

Easily ~vanaulshea.

A novel mode of modern warfare
was recently tested on the ship Alice
Minot while bound from Guam to
San Francisco, which proved a com
plete success, During the early part
OF the passage she was driven out OF
her course by a monsoon, and the
Marshall Islands suddenly appeared
in sight, and 1t the same time 200
naked South Sea Island savages
came alongside from canoes and
boarded the vessel. They had never
before seen a white man andcould not
speak a word of English. They took
possession of the ship and remained
until the captain thought that they
were staying there to gain time, muir
der all hands and take possession OF
the ship at night, No persuasion
could get them ashore, and as q last
resort steam was gotten up in the
boiler and the warm water thrown
with a hose over them. In less than
five minutes they were all overheard,
swimming away for dear life to the
shore.-PhiladeIphia Record.
