failing the losses sustained in recent spec

ing of dividends this month.
The circular gives the report of a COM
mittee of local bankers and brokers' who
examined Irwin x CO. s books and found
that the firm had speculated heavily in
grain for future delivery on the Chicago
board of trade. The circular says that the
newspaper attacks injured the firms cred

stop by prompt payment. In this man
ncr their finances were weakened. Deals

LONDON, Nov. 5.-An Odessa dispatch
to The Daily says that city is draped in
mourning. A grand requiem mass was
celebrat ed in the cathedral and was at
tended, within and without the building,
by 100000 people. The Prince and Princess

The issue of the manifesto by the party
of the peoples rights has led TO numerous
arrests. Lists of the persons to whom
copies We're addressed through the post
have been handed to the police. Nearly
all the university students in Odessa,
Kicff, kharkov, Moscow and St. Peters

tiers the moderate and reasonable spirit

Opposed to N Vote of Condolence.

BUDA PEST, Nov. 5.-Several Hungar-
ian newspapers suggest that opposition
should be raised to the proposed vote of
coincidence with the Russian nation which
1t is proposed to pass in parliament. The

sage of sympathy could be addressed. The
Liberals, however, intend TO support the
motion of coincidence, which will be pro-
posed by Dr.. Wekerle the premier, and so
it is expected that the motion will be
