CRlSP'S HERESY,
He Thinks tho special viii Probably
Run Into tho General Session.

BosToN, Aug. IA Washington special
to the Journal says: Speaker Crisp has un-
doubtedly placed himself under the ban of
the mugwumps, for, i'll the few things he
has said since he has been here he has left
it clear that he does not think that the
work of the extra session will be- speedily
accomplished and that there is probability
that the special session may be continued
isto the regular session. This is, of course,
heresy TO those who assume that the silver
law is TO bs repealed In two weeks and Con-
gress to be then sent home.
The time s coming when the advocates of
the repeal of the Sherman law will do we'll
to understand that their cause will not be
served by either deceiving themselves or
misleading the people, and that the business
interests of the country will not be pro-
moted by holding out false hopes of immedi-
ate action upon this great question. The
experienced parliamsntarians, aud those
who are in position to understand the sen
timent Of the coming Congress best, know
that there is no probability of immediate
action, and that the debates upon the sub
ject may continue for a long psriod.
And now comes Speaker Crisp and says
that ho may not appoint his committees
even for two weeks. This is increasing
hope that the silver purchase law may be
repealed, but 1t would be wise for bust
ness men to make their plans on the basis
of imm odate action by Congress.
Mr.. Crisp does not set good example
for non -par;isanship in the matter of the
silver purchase act. He speaks of it pr-
vately with some bitterness as a republican
Jaw, and thus invites hiI political opponents
to make it plain that the majority Of its
supporters we're democrats. Mr.. Crisp 10
not a broad man. On the contrary, he is
au intense partisan. But it had been sup
posed that in this crisis he would not enter
upon his duty with the language Of parti-
sanship.
Tho uttersuces Of Mr.. Crisp have created
the impression that he will favor a very
radical changes in the rules Of the House in
the direction Of the system which he, with
others of his party, denoupcsd 10 bitterly
when Speaker Reed devised and enforced it,.
The indications are, for that matter, that
this Congress is to be one of personal tri-
umph for Mr.. Reed of Maine.
He will undoubtedly discover that the
democratic leaders despair of carrying out
their tariff policy, or OF complishing sub
stantial legislation of any sort. without re-
course to the very system for which he was
so sharply denounced by the democratic
party, although his decisions have been sus-
tanned by the United States Supreme Court

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Durlng tho past two
weeks the provision pit on the board oil
trade has been extremely dull especially in
tho mess pork division. On some days last
woek there was not a single transaction in
that article for hours. There was a shadow
over the market and every body was afraid
10 touch it.
Last March trade became aware of the
fact that someone was "bulling" the mar
ket and after a time 1t became a matter Of
general belief that the deal was being run
Iy single heavy operator who did not ap-
pear in person but who worked through the
we'll known provision brokerage houses of
=. G. Steever q Co., L. w. Bailey a. Co.,
and A. Z. Hemholz.
As weeks passed it became necessary for
the operator to buy large amount OF pork
at high prices. Then came the stringency
and as ITS grip tightened those who had
been bullish on pork began to foresee the in
evtable and to stand from under. This
added to the strain on the manipulator of
ile deal and made the outcome more GER
tain.
The explosion came at the opening this
morning, when the secretary announced
from the balcony OF the trading room that
the three firms above mentioned were In
able to meet their contracts and advisiu G
those having trades with them to close them
out under the rules immediately.
Bsdlam broke lose in the provision pit
September pork, which closed at $40 per
barrel yesterday, was first offered at SIS. 10,
then SIS, then ST., 10, $3.50, $l7.16 and
10 on down by quarters, halves and dollars
lii the price touched $40, descent OF 50
within a little over half an hour. Brokers
shouted themselves hoarse and grew red in
the face in their frantic efforts to protect
Themselves and fairly tumbled over each
other in their struggle to let bidder have
mess pork at his OWE price in quantities to
suit.
At the bottom the deals seemed to be
about settled and the market for the first
time showed signs Of strength. Operators
began to see that pork at $40 per barrel,
with hogs at the ruling price, was cheap
md they began to buy. The price began
gradually to crawl up, touching $ll, then
Sl2, and nt l | o'clock tho pit was again
Cuict and the market steady at %11. 10. There
Is no means of knc wing just how much
is involved in the deals but the trade esti-
mates that the speculator referred to was
Long" on pork to the amount of 80, 900 or
Co. 600 barrels, which with loss Of 50 per
barrel would DO about $3.50, 900 to 800,
90,
-huSh sJ lhPaIuy Is Expressed on the poard
for the jailed firms, who were very popul ar
in tue trade and who were forced to the
wall through fault of their own, but by
the failure OF their principal, who does not
openly appear in the transactions to keer
his engagements with them.
The North American Packing company,
brokers for A. Ii. Wright ~ Co., have
failed. All firms that have failed so far
to day were brokers for Wright and were
unable to put w sufficient margin.

RUNNING HlMSElE.
Reports as to tho Failure of Lieut..
Psary', Expedition False.

Reports as to tho Failure of Lieut..
PSary's Expedition False.
NEW YOnK, Aug. 1.-The Sun says;
The persons who are telsgraphing from st.
Johns, Newfoundland, about Lieut.. Peary's
expedition are striving to be sensational
with poor success. The statements in thess
dispatches are as follows:
/. That it is 'imperatively necessary for
Peary to procure Labrador dogs, but that
the prices asked by the natives are SO high
that Peary has refused to buy them"
1t is not imperative that feary should
buy Labrador dogs, though he desired to
procure supply there. II 1t was impera
tive he would buy them for he has money
enough to buy anything in Labrador tn at
he thinks he needs The exhibition OF his
vessel in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Boston,
aud Portland added fully $1,000 to his re-
sources during his last days here and this
sum was over and above what ne expected
to have. He can:buy dogs in Greenland
and declines to pay an exorbitaut price for
them in Labrador.
,. His donkeys are perishing from ex-
posure.n
Not one of them had perished, however,
at last accounts. These same burros are
Injured to carrying heavy loads of silver ore
through snowdrifts in the Rocky noun
tains. They won't succumb easily.
''Peary is very much later now than any
exploring expedition which ever started,
and may be prevented altogether from car
rying out the objects OF his expedition. The
forming winter ice renders it extremely
likely that his ship will get frozen N and
be compelled to stop there till next year. ~
This is simply nonsense. About 10 days
ago Peary, according to the reports from
Labrador, was within u few hundred miles
of the south Greenland coast. In 1891 he
was only Eve days steaming from the Strait
of Belle Isle, much further south to within
sight OF t-e Greenland coast. He has had
ample time now to reach Upernavik or even
the southern edge of Melville Bay.
No intelligent person would write that
"Peary is very much later now than any
exploring expedition which ever started ("
As a matter Of fact he is earlier than most
previous expeditions bound for the same re-
gion. Melville Bay is the only
troublesome piece OF navigation on
his route, and it is least likely to be
Troublesome In August. Ross crossed to
the north side of Melville Bay on August
! II. Inglefeld on August 20, aud Hayes on
| August %. Kane reached Smith Sound, q
little above Psary's proposed camp, on
August T. and the Polaris reached the lati-
tude of Peary's camp August 81
Judging from the letters from Labrador
Peary has a good prospect of getting north
OF Melville Bay somewhere between August
8 and 10, which is earlier than most other
expeditions. He may be week longer in
reaching Bowdoin Bay, where he expects to
build his house, il he carries out his pur-
pose TO stop at all the Eskimo settlsmenta ta
between Cape York and his winter camp.

THIRD NEGRO l.YNCHED.
Handy Eaigler shares the Horrible Fate
of Thompson and Preston,

COLUMBIA, s. c., Aug. Handy Kaig-
ler the last of the three negroes who as
saulted Mrs. Sighter OF CASTOR, was taken
from the Lexington jail Sunday night. lie
had been placed there several days ago by
the CASTOR mob on an understanding with
Sheriff Drafts that hs should be delivered
whenever wanted. lie was wanted about
l. o'clock by deputation Of six men who
went from CASTOR. The sheriff kept his
word aud delivered Kaigler to the men, who
started Immediately with him for CASTOR,
about 20 miles away. A crowd from Co
lumbia went to Lexington and demanded
the negro before the Castor deputation ar
rived, but the sheriff refused to turn him
over to them.
Kaiger reached Castor yesterday morn
ing about daylight He was subjected to
many tortures, but he steadily refused to
confess his guilt. Notwithstanding this,
his body was barred and Sghter, although
he had been nights without sleep, beat tho
negro numerically with q rawhide The
mans cries could be heard for rods, but
they seemed to make the crowd more furi-
Gus. When Sghter became exhausted
another man continued the hoggng for sew
eral minutes. kagler was finally taken
under the tree whore the bodies of ThomD
sou and Preston were hanging and a rope
was thrown between them.
kagler was still protesting his innocence
when the ropc was placed around his neck
lie was drawn up and let down repeatedly
and, when almost dead, Sightlsr Cred q
bullet which ended his life. His body was
then suspended aud the crowd shot at it.
All three bodies hung on the same limb for
several hours. Then the mob decided not
to burn them. a trench was dug beneath
them. Then the mob cut them down,
shovelled a little dirt upon the bodies, aud
disappeared.

long ride through the woods. Already DR..
Webb has had constructed q bride path to
tho summit OF Bald mountain, which over
looks Lake Lila. This was constructed for
the especial use OF Mrs. Webb, who liked to
enjoy frequently tho grand view from this
mountain. Upon the Fourth OF July the
writer from the summit of this mountain
saw Blue Mountain, 30 miles to the east
ward; Mount Marcy, so miles to the north
east; Mcintyre, 40 miles to the northward,
and Seward 30 miles to the north west
ward. These include the biggest peaks in
the Adirondacks.
Still another improvement which DR..
Webb is making to his estate is the putting
of lerge portion OF it within the limits of
q wire fence. This will be the longest wire
fence in the State no less than 45 miles In
length. This fence will take in Lake Lila,
Ne-ha-sa ne Lake, all of township 3S, part
of township 81, and part of townships 42
and 43 of the Crosstied purchase, and part
OF township s OF Hamilton county. There
are "a, 900 acres in township 80 alone. Dr.,
Webb's design in constructing his great
fence is to have some means of OBTAINING &
within the limits of Ne-ha-sa.ne PARK
varieties OF deer which he intends to placs
within those limits. AS coon as the fence
is mpleted-whioh it will be in the presen t
year-elE, caribou, deer and moose will be
turned loose within the park.

stability of farm ers,
From the st. Johnsbury Republic

From the st. Johnsbury Republican,
Here in northeastern Vermont the crops
are immense and the prices Of farm prod
ucts are as high, as a rule, as they were be-
fore the commercial depression set in
Storms and drought may ruin or diminish
this or the other crop, but they seldom or
never are able to wipe out the entire grain,
pasture, vegetable, dairy and live stock
productions OF the farm aud prevent the
securing of a living. In times Of financial
stress the calamity party might consistently
take unto itself the bankers, merchants,
manufacturers, brokers and railroad men;
but not the tlIlsrs Of the soil, the landlords
