TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
Tho Shooting OF Miners by Militia
Might Have Been Avoided.

LONDON. Dec. 9.-The government COM
mites which was appointed TO investigate
the action of tlse military called out to sup
press the riotous coal miners at Lord
Masham's Featherstone pit, near Ponte-
fract, reported yesterday.
The members of the committee deplore
the fact that no magistrate met the troops
mt the Pontefract station when they left
the train there on Aug. 7. 1t was also a
mistake. they say, that the troops were so
divided that no one body was strong
enough to overawe the riotng strikers
II force of adequate strength had been
marched into Pontefract, they think, the
necessity of firing upon the rioters would
have been obviated, as the miners would
not have dared to defy superior force.
The committee also urges that an in
quiry be made to ascertain whether sol
diers called out to quell riots may not be
armed with weapons less dangerous.

SPANISH TERMS.
Ridisns Are Not Likely TO Accept Them
War ON Larger Scale.

LONDON. Dec GA dispatch from
Madrid TO The Central News says that
General Martinez de Campos. commander
of the Spanish troops at Melilla. has
offered such conditions for the settlement
of the troubles there that the Rifiians are
not likely TO accept them.
General de Campos fixed short time foi
the Riflians to vacate their positions. He
requires the surrender of 1900 rifles now
held by the Riffians, and the punishment
of all persons whom Spain considers guilty
of being the leaders of the movement
against the Spanish. He also demands the
surrender OF important hostages. Such de-
mands, the dispatch adds. are tantamount
to a renewal of the war on larger scale.
A dispatch from Madrid says that the
war Office has no confirmation OF the re-
ported demands that have been made
upon the Rifiians by General de Campos
The officials Of the war department say
that II the report is true few days will
be granted before an ultimatum is sent tc
che Sultan of Morocco.

Market Revie w.

The market has become SO narrow and
continues SO professional, that traders
who have been accustomed to operate in
large lines of steeks,- Afd-ttt induce
ment to speculate. AS n matter
OF fact only two or three
leading interests are at all active just
now, and their transactions are of so
limited character that little room is
offered for comment. AS was the case on
previous days OF the week, yester-
days spcculations wavered within narrow
limits, and the trading was about as un-
satisfactory as any yet recorded, being
without distinctive features and without
developments, bearing upon values outside
of the usual petty details OF professional
movement.
As attacks have failed to bring out
stocks, the bears were not aggressive,
while the uncertainties surrounding the
situation tend TO keep the bulls in
action; consequently with such apathy
noted on both sides of the account specu-
lation was practically dead.
The number of business failures in the
United States for the last seven days
is placed at 3s6. and in Canada at
a., total of d2s. For the corresponding
week last year the total number OF failures
in tho United States was 271 and in
Canada 26.
There was disposition to sell Chicago
Gas, although few took any stock in the

The Pennsylvania railroad has just

nails at uniform price OF ga per ton,
making a total expenditure of S96o,OOo.
This will have good effect on he trade.

MADRID, Dec. 9--General Campos has

The convict guerrillas were armed by a
Spaniard named Arida, who obtained the
rank of captain in the guerrilla service in
Cuba. Arida says that Ferren, when a
fugitive from justice years ago, sought
safety in. Amadi's hut. Amadi betrayed
him, aud Ferren vowed he would clip the
Riffs ears the first chance he should get.
Amadi occasionally had been a spy in the
pay Of the Spaniards.

A Silver Wedding,

A. few old and young friends were for
tunate enough to meet Capt. and Mrs.
Sam c. Lyle, last night, on the 25th an
niversary of their welded life: I'VE are in
formed that our "West End Echo" man
broke his rule, never to visit the city at
night; he attended and felt so rejuvenat-
ed at the happy faces he saw there that,
after hearing some excellent piano and
vocal music, he, rather than "back out -
took a stick with horse hair attachments
and sewed them over some feline intes-
tines. The company assembled at their
hospitable Avenue G home would not
depart without expressing the sincere
hope that all may meet again in % years
for their golden wedding eve.
