In dry goods it is noted that there Is no
talk OF prices, as is usual on the eve Of a
new season in mems wear goods, and the
business in light weights is not whatwa
expected, but the orders for dress goods are
far in excess of any previous season. Sales
OF some cotton goods are recorded at the
lowest prices ever made. Wool moves
slowly, but yielding at the west gives a bet
ter prospect. In brcadstuffs the decline
continues, but wheat is 219 cents lower;
corn,.2 cents: oats. 15s cents, and cotton
also declined 3-16 cent. Pork products arr
lower and coffee about 31a cents. In general
the approach of harvest, which is expected

SIR JOHN MACDONALD,
FIRST OF ENGLAND'S EMPIRE
BUILDERS

Since Give and Hasttngs-The An'ction.
,te R.rard in Which .Old To-Morrow"
was Held by the Dominion People
The Greatest Canadian Has Fought HIS
Last Fight
1t is very long since any other man
held place so peculiar in the affairs OF
any country as Sir John A. Macdonald
has won for himself in the affairs OF the
Dominion of Canada. There is not, nor
has there been in modern times, man
in the United States whose demise could
seriously disarrange the settled policy OF
the country. No such man now lives In
England. The political observation OF
Bismarck did not disarrange the policy
of Germany. There is no man now Nv
ing in France whose death would cause
lar or pause in the motion OF the
political machinery of the country. But
the death of Sir John will leave the
Tories of the Dominion without leader.
While his life was devoted to the service
of Canada, he was for many years one
of the foremost men in the British EN-
pire, distinguished above his fellows IN
those vast colonies of Britain that glrole
the earth.
To look back over the great retrospect
of Sir John A. Macdonald's long public
life is to review the whole history of
greater Canada. He was native
Scotchman, but he became identified
with the affairs of British North Amer
lea before the patriot war, commencing
the practice of law in Kingston in 1896.
in his 21st year. He was active in
political life from this time. He was
first elected to the Parliament of Upper
Canada more than forty-seven years ago.
He was chosen for Kingston, for which

Farmers and sugar Bount,cs.

Farmers in several western states have
been writing to the internal revenue office
that they fear there will be so much red
tape in securing maple and beet sugar
bounties that they will have to abandon
hope for it, The law gives a bounty of
about two cents pound, so that all the
bounty realized on 1000 pounds, which is a
good yield, will be $50. To secure this a
farmer must take out license and submit
his product to a government inspector to be
tested, weighed, etc. Furthermore. as the
inspector may not get around on time, the
farmers say they may miss the opening of
the market in the first part of the maple
sugar season when the product demands
about cents more than it does later in the
season. Commissioner Mason says that he
expects to recommend to the secretary OF
the treasury the appointment of the ten or
twelve sugar inspectors within a week.

Not Encouraging.

The prospect is not encouraging for
special session OF the legislature to make.
an appropriation for a worlds falr eAhipit
for South Dakota. Since the legislature adj.
journed some of the members have removed
from the state and one Of the strongest adj
vocates OF the world fair appropriation mas
died. The state Farmers Alliance is said
to be strongly opposed to an appropriation
and as about thirty Of the members OF the
legislature belong to the alliance IL Is
almost certain that they would oppose the
proposed measure. About one-third OF the
members of the legislature have thus far
signed pledge agreeing to vote for an ap-
preparation. Should two-thirds OF the
members pledge themselves the governor
will call a special session of the legislature,
each member to defray his own expenses.
The outlook is far from encouraging, and
it may be necessary to resort wholly TO
private subscription as means OF raising

Illinois Legislature Adjourns.

The Illinois legislature has adjourned
after one of the most exciting sessions i'll
its history. The contest which resulted in
the election of Gen. Palmer to the United
States senate will be memorable. Although
one of the chief issues Of the last campaign
was the amendment of the present compul-
sorry education law it goes over without
change. The republicans insisted on a
clause requiring the teaching of English
history in the English language in all
schools in the state, public OF private. but
the democrats refused to accept any COM
promise not covering the elimination of
every requirement for the teaching of Eng
lish. The worlds fair appropriation was
compromised at $500. 1000.

NEW STOCK YARDS.
Chicago Pork Packers Will Leave the
Old Yards.


p. D. Armour. the Chicago packer, says
in an interview that ground has already
been broken for new stock yards at Tolles-
ton. Ind, to be owned jointly by Armour,
Morris and Swift. He said they proposed
to establish packing houses there. They
will not be cramped for room as at.the old
yards, which, he says, are altogether out of
place in such close proximity to the best
part Of Chicago. They propose to issue Sl0,-
100000 stock. which they will divide among
the packers and dealers who follow them
The English syndicate which recently pur-
chased the old yards for S25.000,Ooo will be
left holding costly bag by this move of the
big packers but they are plainly without
redress unless they enter the field them
seles as rival packers. Mr.. Armour said
there were also sanitary reasons why the
change should be made. In the new quar-
tiers they shall have the most perfect ar
rangements for the proper examination and
packing of pork, and he thinks as soon as
Germany is convinced OF proper eXamina-
tion, ETC., it will ALLOW the importation of
American pork.

The Emperor William of Germany has

speeches Of his which will attract unusual
attention and provoke comment. 1t was
not intended for the public ear, and every
effort was made under stringent orders to
keep it from publication, but it has leaked
out and now published for the first time.
1t was delivered on the occasion of an adj
dress to body of spring recruits for the
army. In the course of it the emperor said !;
II warn you, who are mostly young
countrymen, against the social democrats.
Always remember the oath you have taken.

who marries leaves father and mother and
follows her husband / say to you, having
taken the oath of q soldier follow me i'm

without question, or hesitation, when
ordered.''
This language startled even the young
men to whom it was addressed, but was re-
ceived with loyal outburst of cheers. 1t
spread like wildtire through the army and
was talked about in all the barracks. Such
an utterance could not long be kept secret,
and it is now being sent over the wires to all
parts of the world. But nowhere will it
create more astonshment than in Germany.

the discovery which Prof. Rosander, of

on investigation to be based ON fact.
According to this statement he has
cured four cases of this disease by the
incubation of the patients with some
lymph VT his own invention, His eX-
periments were varied in so far as the
place in which the fluid was injected
was concerned. for two of the patients
were inoculated in the breast and two
in the face.

A HORRIBLE accident occurred on the
Mocnchen, Stcines & Bale railway in

people on the way to attend musical
fete. Sixty persons were killed out
right, while hundreds were injured.
Two engines and the first car plunged
into the river and all the passengers in
the car were drowned. Two cars. re-
manned suspended from the bridge. All
the trainmcn were killed. The bridge
was an iron skeleton structure, which
was considered we'll built and substan-
tial. The only apparent reason for the
collapse of the bridge is that the train
left the rails and threw its entire weight
on one side of the bridge.

Pension for Woman when Remarked.

Assistant Secretary Bussey has rendered
another important pension decision. The
record shows that the mother of q soldier
was pensioned under the old law. but, sub
sequently remarrying. her pension ceased.
During the year 1890 she applied for q pen
sion under the act of June % Of that year,
but the claim was rejected on the ground
that, having remarked after the sons death
and prior to the filing of her claims, there
was no period of time for which she could
be pensioned. Assistant Secretary Bussey
overrules this action and holds that under
the act of June q, 1890. it is only necessary
to show the mothers present dependence,
and that the question of her remarriage is
not material to the case. Her pension will
begin at the date Of the filing of her claim.
