Heavy transactions and great excite

worse bugbears to unfortunate traders
than cold Hutchp or Partridge ever

nation, aided and abetted by Norman
B. Ream, are popularly believed to be
the master spirits in control OF pork. In
any event the crowd manipulating the

cleaned up an enormous profit, by some

Manipulation aside, the main.spring
under the market is the shortage Of

The scarcity of hogs at this season is
largely attributed by the alleged manip-

began to think they would not have q
chance to plant any corn. What to do
with the hogs was the question, with
no corn to feed them on, and they con.

what they could get for their pork prod

The consequence was that there was

were locked all the coal fleets, the nine
packets and several tow boats. The
harbor boats Comet, Benwood aud Alice
F. Barr, tried all day to break the gorge
but without result.
At half past four o'clock this immense
body OF leo began to move in solid

all appearances, escaped with little or,
no injury. On the other hand, every
coal fleet suffered.
The principal destruction is the fol-

PARIS, Jan. 6-The charges against
NJ, Balhut, who was minister Of public
works in the DeFreyciuet cabinet, has
aroused great interest largely on ac-
count Of the peculiar social career Of NJ,
Baihut and his connection with the di,
vorced wife OF NJ, Arminagsud, As
minister of public works NJ, Baihut had
an important influence upon the course
Of the government in regard to tho
Panama Canal company, and the charge
is substantially that he sold that inau.

The Figaro says that NJ. Frapqueville,
the Judge d'instruction, has decided
that the evidence against NJ, Baihut,
presented during the examination in
regard to the check for 100000 francs
alleged to have been paid TO him, war
rants putting him on trial, It is re-
ported that the proof against NJ. Baihut,
as well as against other important per-
sonages whom the government is prose-
cutting or preparing to prosecute, is due
to an understanding arrived at between
the authorities and NJ, Chas, Do
Lesseps. whereby the latter, in con-
sideration OF giving all the information
in his power in relation to the bene-
tlciaries OF Panama corruption, ia to be
treated with great leniency II not ad'
mitted to absolute immunity.
It's reported that M, Chas, DeLeSseps
has made an unreserved statement Of
all the facts within his knowledge and
will do the same on his own trial.
It is said that the acknowledgements
made by M. DeLesseps are OF the most
startling character and will create q
sensation in America as well as in
France.
