A JUBILEE.
The Venerable Archbishop Kendrick to
Celebrate the Fiftieth AEniyer-
sary of His Ordination.

ST. Louis. Mo, Nov. 27.-All arrange
ments for the grandest religious celebration
that has ever occurred in this country are
about completed. The celebration is that
of the fiftieth anniversary Of the ordination
to the priesthood OF his grace Archbishop
Peter Richard kendrick 1t will
be second only to the Pope's
jubilee. Cardinal Gibbons, who
arrived yesterday passed very quiet day
to-day. 1t had been arranged that the day
would be one of rest after his long
journey from the city Of churches.
Many aymen called at Archbishop
Hendricks residence, but they were unable
to see the distinguished head of the
Roman church in America. A trip
TO kirkwood. where the home of
OF the redemptorial father is stationed, was
arranged by Cardinal Gibbons when he left
Baltimore, but the day broke gloomy and
cloudy. with the faintest show of
rain. and the trip was therefore postponed.
At the earnest solicitation OF the sisters
of Visitation convent, his eminence this
morning went to the convent and cele-
brated mass, and tomorrow morning he
will celebrate mass at the Nullan-
ply hospital at 1:30 O'Clock.
The arrivals this evening include
Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia and Arch
bishop Williams of Baltimore. His grace,
Archbishop Corrigan of New York, was ex-
rected this evening. but it is now stated he
cannot reach ST. Louis before tomorrow
morning

DUN's REPORT.
Everything Looks Bright for
the Republic.
EXPORTS EXCEED IMPORTS.
Some People Lie Awake Nights Wonder
ing How Europe Can Pay Her Debts,
but What's That to Us:-Let
Her Walk the Floor.

New YORK, Nov. 27.-R. G. Dun 4 Co. s
weekly report says: The week, broken by
a holiday. has shown The usual charac-
teriStic work. Speculation inactive, whole
sale business moderate. but the trade
which goes to make national prosperity
is unalterad. In Nashville and Montgomery
trade is very fair; at Charleston. good with
improving exports; az New Orleans, re-
ceipts of cotton and sugar are large, and
both are in demand, and Savannah
alone reports present trade light and
money no easier. but prospects bright.
Speculation during the past week has not
been active. but corn at Chicago has been
put up. Pork is - cents higher: oats 1isc
and wheat l3Sc per bushel higher. while
cotton and sugar are heavy.
Receipts of cotton exceed those of the
same week last year by $4,000 bales ana eX-
ports by 81. coo bales, but the stock in the
country is $4,000 bales larger.
Wheat receipts a. the West continue at
the rate of more than 5000, 900 bushels for
full week, and exports have been 1,S00, 600
bushels Of wheat alone from the Atlantic
port for three days of the present week.
Oil and coffee show no considerable
change. The volume of specula-
ton in most lines is fOrtu
nately so restricted that legitimate
business and movements are not at present
hurt.
IN the great industries the OUTLOOK IS M
proved. There is better demand for iron,
and on the whole there are evidences of an
enormous consumption already, nearly
equal to the production, with the prospects
of an increase next year.
The market for wooden goods is distinctly
improved with colder weather. though some
holders make slight concessions on old
stocks.
Cotton goods are fairly active, though
print cloths accumulate.
Money is comparatively easy and collec-
tiOns for all lair.
The exports of products in
four weeks from New York
exceed last years S1,6+l,S21, indicating an
aggregate for the month probably exceed
ing 50. 500, 600, and at the same time there is
decrease of II per cent in the
value of imports. There is
certain to be large balances payable o
merchandise account by Europe and much
anxiety appears in some quarters rs TO how
the strain abroad will be met, but this far
there are no signs of real trouble
except in speculative quarters. II
is to be remembered also
that this country is at present unusually
independent of foreign disturbances.
Business failures occurring through the
country during the past seven days number
295 as compared with total of 2S5 last
week. For the corresponding week last
Year the figures were 2i9.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-The Republican
mountain has labored, and the mouse is
named Minneapolis In Other words, the
upon Minneapolis as the place where its
next convention is to be held. The Western
men. representing Minneapolis and Omaha,
declared that il was an absolute necessity
for the convention to be held IN the North
west in order to retain those states in the
Republican column, and doubtless those
Republicans, distinguished men as they ure
in their party, knew what they were talk
ing about At least they convinced the
forty-eight gentlemen who composed the
national committee that they did and as q
result Minneapolis is the place and June
the time when the Republicans viii select
some man to be sacrificed in the next cam
pdign.
The managers of the Chicago fair were
present during the fight and are still in
Washington. They hoped to get the con-
yention ar Chicago. though they kept very
quiet about IL, and to get Springer as
speaker. and by those two methods to Sc
cure the s., 100000 which they want out of
Uncle Sans treasury to enable them to
carry on the fair, which they pledged them
selves to do out of their own money. En-
Senator Palmer, president of the fair com
mission. called on the president and re-
qUested him to say something in his mes
sage TO congress in favor of giving this
money. The president did not give him
much encouragement
Now that the Republicans have concluded
their work in Washington city the trouble
commences over the speakership. All the
candidates are heI Q and have opened their
quarters Mr.. Mills has one place at Viii
lard's and another at the Metropolitan.
Springer is al the National; Mcmillan and
Crisp are at the Metropolitan, and Bynum
has withdrawn from the race announcing
that he intends to vote for Mills. The
friends of the candidates are making wildly
extravagant statements as to how the vote
will be on the first ballot. Crisp's friends
claim 100 votes for him; Mills about sixty,
while they apportion twenty-three to Nc
MILAN, fifteen to Springer and thirteen to
Hatch. They will be very much astOnished
when they find that Springer has three
times thirteen votes on the first ballot. Car
Isle and the Cleveland men are working
hard FOR Mills because he represents the
Cleveland IDEA of free trade. The fact that
the New York Times is advocating Mills
candidacy will really do him harm, while
it Is being brought out now very promi-
nently that Mr.. Crisp was born in England
so as TO prevent Democrats voting for him
on the fear of losing the Irish vote.

The killing of Will Landrum was on
July q, 1850, but not until some four
months thereafter was any one arrested for
the murder. and then only through the CON
slant working of Sheriff Allison, who has
done more to put down lawlessness than al
most any sheriff along the fro..tier.
He al last succeeded in landing
three of the supposed murderers in the
7 Midland jail, two at one time and one ut
another. One OF those captured at the
same time with Lorenza Porrez was tried
the next day after him and was found
guilty of murder in the second degree and

with them whatever After conviction,
the case was appealed, but finding no errors
in the proceedings of the lower court. but
~ather complimenting the same, including
the judges charge, which they pronounced
faul;iess, the Judgment was affirmed.
Some time after the death sentence had
been pronounced upon Porrez he was Wis

whom, in the presence of Sheriff Allison
and all the prisoners, he made 4 full con-
fession of his guilt as charged, and stated
that he, himself, had used the knife upon

that purpose.
The condemned man was about twenty
years of age, moderately good-looking and

position, and il seems hard to think that
one 50 situated could have been guilty of
such crime.
