An IndIrnant Protest.


WASHINGTON, d. c., July 26.-The Penn
sylvania newspaper correspondents located
here sent the following protest to Governor
Patsison against the punishment of Private
Iams, at Homestead, for cheering for the
''man who did it, meaning Bergman.
'DEAR Sm:-The shocking treatment of
Private Iams, Company K, Tenth regiment
N. G. p, who was punished without trial by
Lieutenant Colonel Streetor, is disgrace to
the military establishment of the state. Such
bafbarity, perpetrated by the officials of the
state, is a serious reflection on the common
wealth. We therefore ask that Lieutenant
Colonel Streetor be relieved from further
command.
at appears that General Snowden and
Colonel Hawkins approved the atrocity, and,
therefore, are equally responsible.
Hoping you will find an opportunity to
give this matter your serious attention, we
are yours, etc"

Weekly Review of Trade says:
The weather has been extremely favorable
for growing crops, excepting in limited dis
tricts where damage was done by the storms,
and the crop outlook is on the whole Gecid-
edly improving. Money has been abundant
and cheap, and collections generally good
for the season, and there are no signs Of
threatened disturbance.
Finished products of iron and steel are
stronger and 8 to s. per ton higher, but
greater Generalization is expected in pig
IRON unless more of the consuming works
start speedily. Bar and sheet iron are very
active and manufacturers of plate and struc.
tural iron have more orders than they can
well handle, but no Improvement u seen In
rails.
In woolens there is a better demand, and
more activity is seen in the purchases Of wool,
while the cotton mills continue to do well.
Boot and shoe shops are running full OF busi-
ness and the shipments exceed last years
every week.
Speculation has been seriously affected BY
the prospects that the Hatch antl-Option bill
will fail. Lard and coffee are higher and
corn 10 u of cent higher for early delivery,
the supply being scarce. Wheat has fallen
81 cents, with sales of 15,O00,0 900 bushels,
and oats cent. Western receipts OF wheat
arc heavy. Receipts of cotton are light. and
exports are slightly more than last year. but
the sales of phantom stocks exceed the sale5
of tangible ane visible cotton about 80 to 100.

copper and the price is strong at III to IL

American buyers of stocks are encouraged
by the improved prospects.

Carnegie U.Ices watched.


PrTsBURa, Pa July 3O.-The Carnegie
Offices are now under constant police sur.
veilance. Suspicious looking characters have
been lettering about the building for several
days, but no attempts were made to enter it.
All operatives of the Duquesne mill. includ-
ing laborers, were admitted to membership
into the association, and the plant is now
more thoroughly organized than any mill In
Western Pennsylvania. It is yet idle and the
settlement peaceful. The transportation de-
partment of the Edgar Thompson steel works
at Bfaddock have struck for higher wages.
The men out are yard trainmen and have
charge OF all freight cars consigned and
shipped from the mill. The association men
claim that as nothing can be shipped into or
from the works it will have to shut down if
the transportation department remains out
for three days. In this case the last largest
plant in the Carnegie interests will be shut
down.

Mr.. Frick's Story.

P1TTsBuRG, Pa, July 2.-Mr. Frick was
able to describe TO friend more fully than

shots had been fred, Bergman still held his
revolver in his right while with his left hand
he drew the knife. Mr.. Leisman had the
maddened man by the right, trying to wrest
the knife from HIM, and Mr.. Frick had

The Supreme Court Confirms.

The Supreme Court Confirms.
LANSING, MICH, July 3O.-The supreme
court has handed down opinions declaring
unconstitutional the two acts of the legisla-
ture, Reproducing the representative and
the senatorial districts in this state.
The effects of this decision will, in any
event, be to make it practically certain that
the republicans will elect the next United
States senator. Although the governor may
call an extra session of the legislature and q
new reapportionment bill be passed, the dem
ocrats have lost enough members of the SEN
ate by death and resignation to throw that
body in the hands of the republicans, and as
any bill unfavorable to the latter would not
pass, it is believed that the democrats will
take their medicine and go into the election
under the law of 1881, which is more fair
than either the laws of 1885 or 1891. Stripped
of its legal verbiage, the decision is really
based upon only one point-that Of an unfair
apporionment

shattered. number of houses in the vicin-

In spots there have been good rainfalls,
both in Durango, Coahuila, Chihuahua and

The Army to Herd Cattle,

The Army to Herd Cattle,
Secretary Elkins was shown the interview
with Joe Guthrie, the Cherokee strip cattle
man. After reading it with evident interest
he said he had concluded to make thorough
search for cattle on the strip. The order, in
fact, had been issued, and Colonel Wade, at
Fort Reno, would, in due timo, cover the
entir strip looking for intruders.
The secretary of war is being flooded with
letters from citizens along the border, re.
questlng that the strip cattle be kept out Of
Kansas. The reason assigned is that they
are Texas cattle and the result of driving
them up INTO Kansas would be to spread the
fever among the native cattle, and the inter-
ests of the citizens would be jeopardized.
THIS brings up question for the secretary to
settle, for he wants to know where to drive
the cattle before commencing the work. He
refused to state for publication at present
whether or not he had fully determined upon
this feature of the trouble.
