Below Expectations at Easy Prices.
Inquiry among the leading wholesale mer-
chants show that trade with a majority of
them is not up to the expectations of the
early DAYS of the month. Travelling sales
men say it requires a good deal of coaxing
TO get a retail merchant TO buy more goods
than he can sell within a few days. II
would be a surprise TO have one stock up
for thirty or sixty days. There IS one good
thing about this. said an old merchant
Yesterday. 1t shows that they expect to
pay their bills. GrOcerS have no COM
plaints. Conversation with three OF them
showed that in January this year they sold
more goods than in January, 1898 but most
IL staple goods, fancy groceries being SLOW
OF sale. Seed men report a singular state
of affairs. Trade is good Tor FEBRUARY,
but prices are downward and profits small.
On Commission row there Is not as nuch
doing as in February last year. but trade
Is better than last month, consequently they
are not grumb.ing. Stocks are large OF veg
etables and fruits. apples excepted. Orders
are 50 limited that TO sell n carload Tor

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Whatever changes
are seen in the dry-goods district are for
the better, with possibly a few exceptions.
The presence of a larger number of out
of-town buyers is noted. Mail orders show
an increase as TO the number and the guam
titles of goods called for. The resident
demand also shows more spirit and posi-
bly, ~1ore confidence. A favorable feature
of .e general market is the reasonable
proAaptness with which collections are re-
ported. AS heretofore, the demand comes
chiefly from the new South. The West
ern demand is tickle and small. Cotton
goods are selling above the average and
show frmness. Print cloths, on the basis
of 27sc, rule steady, with less demand,
however. Ginghams, prints, printed fab
RIGS and woven wash goods are holding
their own. Dress goods and foreign dry
goods must be suitable for the spring and
summer demand to sell well. Dark goods
and the heavier weights are avoided. The
jobbing demand shows signs of improve
ment without material changes in prices.

Peace Overtures Rejected.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-The Central News
claims to have the highest authority for
the statement that overtures looking to
a declaration of peace between China
and Japan were made yesterday even
ing, but japan rejected the proposals
made, considering them inadequate.
According to the Central News, how
ever, therezis every reason to believe
the proposals were eminently satisfac-
tory to China and her representatives
signifed the willingness of their gov
ernment to acquieece in them.

BRANCH ASYLUM CASE
Supreme Court Reyerses the
Decision.
AN OPINION BY JUDGE woLvERTON,
Who Does Not Consider the Constitu-
tional Features--Cause Remanded
for Further Proceedings.

SALEM, Or, Oct. 16.-In the supreme
court this morning the case of the state
of Oregon ex rel A. G. Taylor, respond
ent, vs. Sylvester Pennoyer ct al, ap-
pelant, appeal from Marion county,
judgment was reversed and the case re-
manded for further proceedings. The
opinion of Wolverton in this case was
that the decision of the lower court was
based upon an objection made by the
defendant that the complaint does not
state facts sufficient to call into requisi-
ton the RESTRAINING powers of the court of
equity. The court holds that it will not
consider the grave constitutional ques-
ton until they are presented with facts
otherwise showing cause of suit. The
questions presented are held to be in
effect the same as presented in the case
of Sherman VS.. Bellows, involving the
location and erection of the soldiers
home at Roseburg, and the holding of
the court approves that decision. The
decision sustains the demurrer to the
complaint and the cause is remanded to
the court below with directions to sus-
tain the demurrer and take snch action
then as may seem proper. This is the
Eastern Oregon branch asylum injunc-
fion case

Johannesburg, confirms the Reuter- dis
patches in regard to the attacks recently
made upon the Portuguese town of

Southeast Africa. Nine Portuguese SOL
diers and two white women were killed
in the attack Sunday. The Portuguese
declined the offer of the Transvaal re-

concessions from the Russian holy
synod such as no princess in like posi-
ton ever before secured in embracing
the orthodox faith. The princess will
not declare her former religion accursed,
nor state her conversion is due to the
conviction that truth lies not with her
own, but with the Russian church. 1t
ia added the holy synod will be satisfied
with simple declaration if the princess
joins the Greek church to be of the same
religion as her future husband.

The Heroic Escape OF a Young Lady from
a Wild Animal.
Not long ago, according to a Bowling
Green (Ky.) exchange, young lady
was lying half awake in bed. Suddenly
she became wholly awake with the
consciousness that q mouse was run
ming over her bosom. She had pres
ence of mind not to move, reasoning
that the mouse would presently run
away without harming her. But, in
stead, the little creature crept onto her
neck, and there nestled comfortably
down, his back curled against the
lower part of her. cheek, which lay on
the pillow. The lady's blood was sim
ply frozen with horror, but she did not
dare to move, fearing that the mouse
would bite her if she did.
Collecting her wits, she resolved that
she would by sudden and mighty eff
fort jump sidewise in the bed away
from the mouse, leaving him high and
dry on the pillow, and then get quickly
up and out of the bed on the other side.
She would count three and jump. She
counted one, two, three-and then did
not jump. The mouse nestled com
fortably closer to her neck. 1t was now
or never. She began again, and counted
one, two, three. This time she jumped
sideWise, downward, upward and every
where, and screamed besides at the top
of her voice What became of the mouse
could not be learned, for when all the
family came, with lamps and pokers
and various other weapons, to her aid,
no trace of the poor little creature
could be found.
