at the opening of court that Juror Fred

presented to show that Rehm had sworn

Considerable Steam Used. But the Output
showed Some Falling on.
MINNEAPoLIs, Dec 2.-The North
western Miller says: The mills were
considerably handicapped last week by q
shortage or water power, and despite the
use Of q good deal of steam the -four
output showed a decrease of 25, 900 bar
rels. The quantity ground was 2O4, las
barrels, against 229, ,345 barrels the week
before, 1S4,3i5 barrels for the corre-
spending time in 1892, and liza, $50 bar
rels in 1891. Contrary to expectations,
most of the mills this week have kept
hard at work up to Wednesday night.
The explanation is that they have been
able to squeeze in the -four made for
lake shipment. But it is understood that
all lake shipments were positively shut
off Wednesday night, and number OF
the mills suspended work, while several
will remain down Friday and Saturday.
Next week quite large capacity will be
inactive, and the output will show a big
drop. The direct export shipments by
the mills last week were only 3s, 10 bar
rels, against 43,5OO barrels the preceding
week

A IAsge Decline I'm Basiness For the Past
Eleven Months.
MlNNEAPoLIs, Dec. 2.--The Mississippi
Valley Lumberman reviews the lumber
business for the past eleven months as
follows:
The demand for lumber from the ter
ritory tributary to the Minneapolis mar
ket has been gradually growing less
each week during the month just ended,
| until the shipments of the past week
show decline Of over 2,000, 900 feet as
compared with the preceding week, and
are scarcely half Of what tney were for
the corresponding week Of last year.
The shipments from this point for ths
month Of November this year in like
manner falls nearly 10000, 900 feet be-
hind the shipments for the same month
last year. Less lumber was sent out
from Minneapolis this year since Feb.
ruary, during the month Of August than
any month. and Novembers shipments
ars as light as those OF July, the ship.
ments of which month were the small.
est of any month during this time, ex'
cepting those of August. The shipments
for December will, without doubt, show
q still further decline
During the Il months of 1898 gone by
337 ,445 900 feet of lumber was the out
put, while during the corresponding
period of 1892 there were 366, ,S55 ,00'
feet shipped out. This shows decreas'
of 20,000,0O0 feet. When it is takel
into consideration that the lumber GU
of the Minneapolis mills this year is q
per cent less than it was last season, i
is easily seen that the large output o
this year would leave stocks in rathe
broken condition now. Such is the case
The total receipts last week were 5, 1886,
600 feet: shipments. %. .69U. 900.

Haymarket Theatre Burned.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-The Haymarket
theatre, at Halsted and Madison streets,
caught fire at $50 d. m. The flames
had gained such Roadway that small
hopes OF saving the structure were enter
tanned. The Haymarket has been con-
sidered one of the most handsome play
houses in the city. 1t received its name
because of its proximity to Haymarket
square, where the great anarchist riots
took place.
The total loss is estimated 1. $10O, 900,
$50, 600 of which is on the building. The
loss is fully covered by insurance.

called TO meet In September. This will not
be an extra session, but an early commence

Congressional elections this fall to require
the attention of members in their several
States. and they may as well be in session
at that time as at any other. Congress
usually meets in December. and after few
days devoted to organizing aGjaurns over
to January. One result of this late meeting
is long summer session, involving the
transaction of important business while

THE EFFECT OF FREE WOOL.

The Boston Herald is one of the ablest
free-trade papers In the country. 1t claims
to be rather tariff for revenue paper than
a genuine free-trader, but the difference is of
little practical Importance. A Philadelphia
firm engaged in the wool business applied to
the Herald for advice as to the best course
TO pursue to pass from the Mckinley prices
for wool TO the prices that will be estab-
lshed under free trade. The Mckinley
prices, the Philadelphia firm say, are ad-
justed on the basis of s. cents for No. COS
tops. while free-trade prices are adjusted on
the basis of 40 cents in England for No. Cos
Botany tops. The wool-dealers continue:
The Herald OF the goth Intlmates that when
free wool comes he price OF tops all the world
over, Instead OF being 40 cents in England aud 80
cents here, as 1t Is to-day, may be 90 cents. or
even 60 cents all the world over. Upon what
calculation Is such a conclusion based? The
worlds supply Of clothing wool is about
1900. 600 pounds one-seventh OF which,
say, 330o00,00O pounds. is raised in the United
States, The remaining slx-seVeuihs being grown
elsewhere. 1t is probably perfectly safe to as
sumo that with customs dntles removed the
worlds price for wool would settle TO level
somewhere near the average OF present prices in
all countries. Taking No. COS tops at 40 cents
In England as the basis for free wool, and Amerl.
can No. COS tops at 50 cents as the basis for
American wool, the average would be about as
follows:
parts OF foreign free wool No SOS tops
part American No g0s tops at...... IS
Divided ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. D325
Observation-Disclosures. as 81
Which seems the highest that It is possible for
No. COS tops 10 reach under any condition with
free wool all the world over. To arrive at such
an average, foreign tops would have to advance
over cents per pound and American tops would
have to fall over IS cents per pound. Is there
anything not sound in this View OF the matter
The Herald makes brave but not very
successful effort to explain how the COM
mon basis could be reached without serious
loss to the dealer in the high priced article.
1t assumes that the enlargement OF the
market for wool in the United States will
cause greater advance in the common
price Of wool than the wool-dealers esti-
mated. The Herald says:
Not only will the American manufacturers
enter the English market to purchase their Ordl-
nary supply. but they VIII purchase large sup
: pies TO meet the added demand Ia trade, while
foreosr> manufacturers will also make Increased
purchases>of wool for the purpose OF manuiac-
turing for the american market.
1t is probable that after few years the
price of raw wool VIII be higher than at
present. The American wool-growing in
dustry will De generally abandoned. ANY
industry that is only fairly profitable on
basis of So cents will not be extensively
followed at so cents. When the one-seventh
of the worlds supply, which the United
States now produces, is reduced by one
half, the price of foreign wool would natur
ally advance. But in the meantime the
wool-grower would escape ruin only by
going into some other business.

HARD TO PLEASE.

delegation agree upon a candidate he is re-

agree upon an aspirant the place is given to
some other State on the ground that the
Californians could not agree. 1t is pretty
difficult TO get on the sunny side of a man
who has no sunny side. If any rule were
established the office-seeker might put HIM
