There was very little change in the general
market. The demand was fair and the prices
very generally in Saturdays notches. AL
though the trading was slow the feeling was
rather weaker, especially toward the close.
The dealers are looking for good run and a
lower market this week. In stockers and
feeders the trading was quiet and the prices
not quotably different from the close of last

very wide. A couple of choice heavy loads

NEW YORK, Feb 5.-Industrials. especially
revenue measures, furnished the chief inter-
est of today's market. The railroad list, with
the exception of Reading, was neglected. .
Sagar and distilling attracted the most at
tention, the first named leading in the trans
actions, and the last showing the most
strength. The report was current that it was
a certainty that the senate would take sugar
out of the free list AS a result the stock
moved up l5s pei cent, but when this point
was reached the support seemed to have been
taken from under it, and during the forenoon
the price gradually declined, closing at a
fall Off per cent from the opening figure

retained. Distilling opened % per cent higher.
moved up per cent additional, making l2s
per cent gain without break, and reacted /

shares tarried at the lower quotation but
briefly, and before noon had reached within
1s per cent OF the top price, the last being the
highest price of the day and 25s per cent
above Saturdays closing. Lead was in de-
mand this morning, on a report tnat the SEN
ate would not sanction the reduction in the
protective duty on white lead made by the
Wilson bill The advance recorded, how
ever, did not exceed "a per cent and of this "a

margin of ~ per cent, losing 1s on the day.

of 100 shares, rose Is; Northern Pacific pre-
ferred appreciating rs. New York. Chicago
and st. Louis declined l per cent. The

was dull, but closed generally firm. The

CRIME AND OUTLAWRY.
Being Hunted Down in the Indian Terri

tory.
Fort Gibson, I. T., Oct. 29-Perhaps
at no time In the history of crime and
bold outlawry has this country been
in such fever of excitement and uni
versal dread as the present time.
Martial law has been declared and
Is infOrced strongly at every point In
the nation. There are to-day nearly
300 Of the Cherokee militia in the field
approaching the stronghold Of the out
laws from the east and north, while
Agent Wisdom's force Of Indian po-
licemen are securing the country to-
ward the west. A large force Of Unit
ed States marshals under the command
of Heck Bruner have gone straight
into what Is supposed to be the home Of
the gang near Red Fork, as it is here
that the people in general are friendly
to them and assist them In every way.
A strong force is kept on guard at all
depots on the Missouri Pacific, and
should an attempt be made to rob any
point the result would be disastrous to
both sides. Deputy United States Mar
shal Dobson, who with his posse has
been out for two days, has just come
in and says he and his men were close
to Jim French, Sam McWilliams, Will
Harlan, and two more of the Cook
gang, but after a twelve-hour chase
they were compelled to give 1t up, as
their horses were completely worn out.
He is Of the opinion that the gang sep
arated and is scattered all over the
country.

Killed wife and Child.

West Newton, Mass, Oct. 29.-Philip
Raymond was watching last night, gun
in hand, for musk rat, which for sew
eral days has been making depreda-
tions in his hen house. He stood at
the window of his house, his wife and
9-year-old boy at his side. AS the an
imal appeared he fired. One barrel of
the gun exploded, shattering the stock
and tearing the barrel to bits. The boy
sank to the floor with cry Of pain.
Mrs. Raymond uttered no cry, but
blood was flowing from wound in
her right side. The boys wounds were
made. one by piece of flying steel.
which barely missed his heart, tearing
a wound in the left side. and another
in the roof of the mouth by flying shot.
Mrs. Raymond died shortly after the
accident, and the boy Is probably IA
tally injured. Mr.. Raymond's right
wrist was so badly shattered az to
necessitate amputation.

WHY CAPRIvI RETIRED.
Reported That tho Emperor Picked .
Quarrel With Him.

Reported That the Emperor Picked .
Quarrel With Him.
Berlin, Oct. 29.-As the political posi-
ton clarifies, the retirement Of Count
Won Caprivi from the chancellOrshsp 10
assumes still further the character Of
an actual dismissal. The trouble ap-
pears to have originated In the empe-
ror's reception recently Of a deputh-
ton Of East Prussian Agrarians head
ed by Count Zu Gutenberg. The dep
utation was submissive, but the
Agrarian organ used the reception as
proof that the emperor was favorable
to Gutenberg. AS the latter appeared
to be determined to remain In office,
Won Caprivi submitted n memorandum
to the emperor on Tuesday, Offering to
resign IL Count Gutenberg remained
in office. Being forced to choose be-
tween the two the emperor, as Is
known. gave his unqualified approval
to Count Won Caprivi's policy. There
upon, MS a set-off to the emperor's re-
ceptlon of the Agrarians, the article In
the Cologne Gazette attacking Count
ZU Gutenberg appeared. Enlenberg
resigned on Friday morning.
The emperor sent Herr Won Lucanus,
chief of the civil cabinet, to ask Won
Caprivi whether he had inspired the
article in the Gazette. Won Caprivi
replied in the negative, but expressed
his sympathy with the papers views.
The emperor then summoned Count
Won Caprivi and demanded public
disavowal Of the article. Caprivi re-
peated that he had not inspired the
article and would not publish a dis
claimer because he agreed with Its
views. He now had no alternative but
To xryhfnh hn did ia
known rs a fact the emperor tried to
reconcile the personal differences be-
tween the two men but failed.
Comments are made on the curious
eruption of tho imperial personal lido
syncracies into the domain of govern
ment. Had Caprivi been discarded for
the purpose of inaugurating an alter
native policy the public could readily
understand the change, but that . new
chancellor should be appointed to exc
cute exactly the same policy his prede-
cessor advocated Is altogether . new
development in political ideas.
Prince Won Hohenlohe visited Count
Won Caprivi to-day. The latter will en-
joy a pension as ex-chancellor, but his
army position will be cancelled. After
n visit to Geneva he intends to take up
his permanent residence with his
nieces on their estate in Brandenburg.
Prince Won HohenlOhe's age-he 10
now rs years old-is regarded as pro
Guiding long tenure Of office or active
participation in affairs, especially In
the Reichstag. The imperial policy
will now more than ever before be un-
der the personal guidance Of the en-
peror, to the no small alarm Of all
liberal minded Germans, who COM
pare the seeming instability Of the en-
peror's character with the steady pur-
pose and aims of the old Emperor VII
liam.

Lexow Needed In Paris.

New York, Oct. 29.-A special dis.
patch to the World from Paris says:
This capital has a police scandal Of its
own this week, which has caused as
great a sensation as the Lexow rev.
elations did In New York.
NJ. Fidee is the chief of that depart
ment of police which has the anarch
lists to watch. Mr.. Desangle, q former
customs house official, was in prison
under sentence Of defrauding the gov
ernment of 10000 francs. M. Fidee
took him out to dinner and somehow
Desangle escaped. NJ. Fidee protests
that he was unearthlng a big an
archist plot and that Desangle was to
help him in the work, but the excuse
is not accepted and further revelations
Of police corruption are promised, par
ticularly In respect to the relations of
private gambling houses with the Do
lice.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1894-11-01

In an audience the chancellor was
given by the emperor, the latter ex-
pressed his dissatisfaction that Capri
vi was without a working majority in
the Reichstng, which, In his majesty's
opinion, accounted for the fact that
the adoption of the proposed socialis-
tic measures was doubtful.
The emperor also insisted upon .
reunion of the chancellorship and the
Prussian premiership, and here again
Caprivi found himself directly Mt vari-
ance with the views of the emperor.
Caprivi said he could not acquiesce
in Eulenbcrg's opinion that drastic and
exceptional measures were necessary
to cope with the progress of socialism.
Moreover, he was convinced they
