CHICAGO SENSATION.
Prominent Provision Dealers Arrssted ID
on u Charge of Conspiracy.

on u Charge of Conspiracy.
CnIt AGO, H., Oct Thomas Roush
swore warrants to-day for the arrest of
John Cudahy and Austin W. Wright,
charging them with consplrlng to run q
corner in short ribs.
When the cholere scare began many
packers being afraid of heavy losses
made haste to sell. Wright, it is claimed
was on the long side of this market at
that time and much of the short ribs
was unloaded on him. Wright believed
that as soon as the cholera scare blew
over he would be long on a staple arti-
body else would be away short and
wholly at his mercy. He could,
he thought, come out on top
if be could get backing to en-
able him to take in the ribs as
fast as they were thrown upon him.
The allegation is that John Cudahy, the
Chicago representative of the big Oma-
ha- Chicago firm, agreed to back him.
Thus reinforced Wright carried out his
campaign, bought heavily and plnched
the pinchers. Yesterday there were
l42 $50 barrels OF pork, %, 600, 900 pounds
of ribs, and % 600 tierces of lard in the
market in Chicago. Ribs went from SO
to SlO.3O during the day and deliveries
amounted to only 100000 pounds, and
it is said that Cudahy and Wright got
the whole quantity.
The deal is of great importance, in
view of the fact that the visible supply
of ribs is only 100000 pounds against
short interest amounting to i3,Vn,ooO
pounds. The corner has made 1t decld-
edly disagreeable for the shorts, and
they have been kept busy to keep out
OF hot water.
Neither of the men had been arrested

A JEALOUS CONSPIRACY.

Great Eritain, Germany aud Italy Bull
doing san Domingo.
New YORK, Oct. "a curious story
about the United States and reciprocity
was put in circulation in this city
yesterday. The governments of
Great Britain, Germany and Italy,
30 the story ran, had observed
with a burning jealousy the great
advantages which the Americans were
reaping from the reciprocity treaty
with San Domingo, and had entered into
common conspiracy to destroy that
treaty.
Just what part Great Britain and
Italy had taken or will take in these
manmuvers was not quite plain. as it
was given out yesterday, but the deeds
of Germany were indisputably set forth.
Germany, it appeared, had offered to
Ulises Hureaux, President of San Do
mingo: an annual bribe of $4,000 for
life if he would declare the reciprocity
treaty with the United States abro-
gated.
1T is true" said the Dominican con-
sui here, that countries mentioned
lldt Z ulduc n uouiduu III SAN I'UllilllSo,
in which they claim that, under a
clause to be found in former treaties,
each is entitled to receive all the
favors from San Domingo that are
or may be extended to the most favored
nation. That being the case San Do
mingO was naturally alarmed. The at
titude of Germany WAS espe-
cially dangerous. All our tobac-
co trade is with Hamburg, where
we were threatened with duty that
would have been fatal to our business.
For England and Italy we did not care
SO much. Still, if we should be COM
PEELED to accede to the demands of the
tripartite We would have to send all our
sugar to London. For this the United
States would reimpose the sugar duties.
| was sent to see Secretary Foster, and
conferred with him on the subject, and
We had a long talk
Were you instructed to say to Secre
tary Foster that President Heruex
would see that the treaty was main
tanned if he WAS promised an annuity
Of $50, 900 year ?" was asked.
"No, was not" saiG the consul, land,
as far as | know, no suggestion was
ever made. do know that
the American minister to Hayti,
Mr.. Durham, and the German
minister to the same country have
both left Port au Prince and are in con-
ference with the president of San Do
mingo at the capitol. Each is in COM
munication with his own government.
and | have no doubt that satisfactory
way out of the present difficulty will be
decided upon"

FOR ExTORTION,
A Knight of Labor Gets n Year in a New
York Prison.

ROCHESTER,, \. l., Oct. 3.--At the
court of oyer and terminer, which
opened its session here to-day, James
Hughes, master workman of National
Trades Assembly No. 23I, X. of l., Gar
ment Workers of America, was ordered
to serve a term of one year in the Mon
roe County penitentiary on sentence
for extortion pronounced against him
IN June, 1891. Hughes vas tried in
1891, and the jury returned verdict of
guilty. He appealed to the general
term OF the supreme court, where the
judgment was affirmed. A motion for q
re-argument was denied. The Knights
of Labor all over the country appealed
III vain to GOV. Flower to pardon
Hughes. Hughes defense has been in
the hands of National Trades Assembly
No. 23l, at Chicago, and organized labor
in general in America. His action has
been endorsed and approved by every
labor organization in the United States
and the Farmers Alliance.

Suggestions to Independents and Pro
lection Democrats.

When Republicans forecast as the re-
suit of a complete Democratic victory
in November the enactment of extreme
legislation respecting the tariff of the
national bank system they are con-
fronted with dangerous kind of OPP
timism based upon halftruth. the
reioinder is made: 'Gou predicted dire
calamities to the country in 1884, but Mr..
Cleveland was elected President and no
catastrophe followed. As ne served for
one term without running the country,
it is safe to assume that 81 second Demo-
cratic administration Will not involve
any disastrous consequences. This Is,
we think, a fair statement OF the posi-
ton assumed by many independents
and Protectionists, who are not IN SYM
pathv with the declarations Of the Chi
cago platform respecting the tariff, ma
tional banks, reciprocity and other pub
lie questions, out who are reluctant to
vote against Mr.. Cleveland.
Now the half-truth is this: Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected in 1884 and Demo-
cratic House with him; and in 1886 an
other Democratic House was chosen.
In order to make it the whole truth the
statement must he added that the Sem
ate remained under Republican control
throughout his term. The Democratic
victory was not complete. The Repub-
lican Senate acted as a breakwater
against the flood of Democratic tariff
legislation. If the Republican forecasts
of 1891 were not fulfilled in the enact
ment of such measure as the Mills bill,
and in the consequent disturbance OF
business interests dependent upon the
protective system, it was because the
Democratic party had not obtained pos
session Of that great stronghold Of polit-
icsl mower, the nited States Senate.
We ask independents and Protect
;onist democrats to consider calmly and
dispassionately whether they can afford
10 take the risks of a low tariff victory,
which NAV not be partial, as IN 1881, but
cpmplete. What assurance have they
that the Senate will remain Republican
it the Democrats succeed IN electlng
Mr.. Cleveland and majority of the
lower House? The Republican majority
N the Senate Is not large. and consider
