MONDAY, Dec. IA, '
COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
Monday is usually blue in this line Of
trade, and to-day proved to be no exception
to the rule. Receipts of potatoes have de-
clined greatly in the week past, but, not
withstanding the decline, markets are still
quiet. Commission merchants are we'll
stocked up, and there are no signs of any
advance in sight. Apples are heavy stock,
demand being no better than it was in the
height of the fruit season. In tropical fruit
lines we note a better demand and higher
prices for oranges and bananas. Lemons
are quiet and a shade lower. ALI the Ma
laga grape crop is now In the hands of deal
ers, and choice stock Is firm at quotations.
Dairy products are fairly steady. Poultry
is still slow. Strictly fresh eggs are so
scarce that they are hardly quotable.

Mr.. Means, of Buffalo.
Chicago Tribune.


It happened on the North Side. A young
man whose name may be given as Regi-
maid Grimshaw. because it is neither AL
gernon McStab nor Patrick Fitzjames,
was looking through the young lady's al
bum. He saw the photograph OF a strange
face and inquired:
"May ask whose portrait this is, Miss
Annabel?"
THAT is Mr.. Means, of Buffalo"
"Hum! He isn't bad-looking fellow"
"You would never guess what queer
dream had about him not long ago."
"No?"
"No. I dreamed he had come all the
way here from Buffalo TOTO propose to
me. II was otherwise engaged. "A
friend had called-just as-as you have,
Reg-Mr. Grlmshaw, you know-and II
instructed the servant to say was not at
home"
Mr.. Grimshaw turned pale. He had
never been in any peril of this kind before
"If he should-er-call while I'm here,
you KNOW" he said, looking around fear

the young man, pushing his chair back,
"I-um-wouldn't be selfish enough, Won

Annabel, you know. Besides, l."
"Well, sir?"
81 don't go red cent on dreams, any
how"
In the cold, sepulchral silence that en-.
sued the young man melted somehow out
of the house, and if this should meet the
eye of Mr.. Means, of Buffalo. it will con-
vey the assurance that Miss Annabel
Ogleberry, of the North Side, will be at
home 10 him at any time.

ST.. PETERSBURG. Oct 22-Reports from the
provinces OF Simbeersk and Samara show that
the local government is unable to cope with the
prevailing distress. The authorities have for
hidden the local press to record the state of
affairs. Provincial assemblies are panic-stricken
and utterly unable to remedy the disorder. Tho
military granaries have been depleted, and the
funds for the relief of the starving people have
been deplorably mismanged. In some districts,

abundance of relief, while in other districts no
heed is paid TO the starving peasants.

STABBED IN THE BACK
Particulars of Attack on Ameri-
can Seamen in Valparaiso.
MURDER PLANNED IN ADVANCE.
None Of the Victims Were Armed-Cap-
tain schley Asks the Presence OF Ad-
miral Brown to Obtain Justice.

VALPARAISO. Oct. 22-The condition Of two OF
the six injured sailors from the Baltimore, who
were wounded in the attack by the Chilean
men-of-war's men last week, is now considered
critical. The names of the injured Americans are
Hamilton, Talbot, Turnbull, Anderson, Davidson,
and Prater. Captain Schley, of the Baltimore,
has again been assured by the intendente OF the
city that he will make a thorough investigation
into the affair, and punish all Chileans who are
known to have taken part in the assault So far
as the matter has already been looked into all
facts go to prove that gross cruelty
was praeticed upon Americans and that
the murderous assault was alto
gether unprovoked. Every government
ject has said that he regretted the occurrence
very much and hoped that the aggressors would
be severely punished.
The investigation by Captain schely confirms
the report that the mob was composed of
Chilean sailors and boatmen, and that
the attack was planned. 1t is now al
legged that the boatswain's mate, Regain,
was shot by a policeman. The Ameri-
can sailors were assaulted at various
points throughout the city. number
OF foreigners, not Americans, will tes-
tify to the killing of Regain. In
justice to the Chileans it must be
said that information has been received
that their army and naval officers
and seamen displayed bravery in try
ing to shield the Baltmoie's men from
Chileans express great regret at the
event. In no case was one of our
men armed, and all OF the injured were
stabbed in the back. Captain Sehey advises
the coming here of the admiral. to aid by his
presence in seeinf full Justice done.

REBELLION IN PARAGUAY.
Attempt to Overthrow the Government
Meets With Defeat.

BUgNos AYREs. Oct. 22-Advices recei we'd
here from Ascension, the capital of Paraguay,
bring the news of an attempt to overthrow
President Gonzales. The attempted revolution,
however, was promptly suppressed by the troops
loyal to the government Full details are not
yet procurable, but it is known that there has
been an uneasy feeling in Paraguay and spirit
of hostility to the government there for some
time past. The trouble originated in political
rivalries and disappointed ambitions, the "outs'
scheming against the Sins" and the latter
leaving no stone unturned to crush their oppon-
ents, politically and otherwise This Jealous
rivalry continued to grow in strength until the
governments opponents, some days ago, boldly
threw of the mask, and collecting the most
desperate of their adherents they made an APP
peal to the people, armed themselves and sought
to wrest the reins of power from the properly
constituted authority, claiming that the latter
had In many ways abused the trust vested in
them. The government Immediately sent q
force Of troops TO put down the insurrection.
An engagement took place between the govern
ment troops and the revolutionists, which re-
Sulted In the defeat and flight of the latter.
The insurgents in the main were so badly routed
that they were compelled to fly from the terri
tory of Paraguay and seek refuge within the
borders OF the argentine Republic. The Argen-
tine government was notified of this fact and
sent instructions to the frontier authorities or
dsring that all ParaguayaDs found with arms in
their possession on this side be disarmed. This
was done without any difficulty, the defeated
revolutionists readily surrendering their weap-
ons when requested to do so by the Argentine
officials.

Upon hearing this report hundreds OF men
