NEW YORK, Feb, I4.-Althougn 1t cut no
figure in governing the course of prices on the
Stock exchange the failure OF the American
Sugar Refining company TO hold Its adjourn
ed annual meeting today was fruitful sub
ject of comment. II was foregone con-
ciusion that no meeting would be held, and
but few stockholder and only one OF the
officers attended at the place OF meeting.
Evidently the officials of the company are
not yet prepared to let the public at large and
the senate and house of representatives into
their confidence It looks now as If the an
nual meeting would not be held until after
the tariff bill is disposed Of
In the stock market the principal activity
manifested was during the morning, when
the trading was chiefly in Sugar, Chicago
Gas, Western Union, Distilling, the Grangers
and New England. During the afternoon the
speculation was light except for Chicago Gas,
Western Union and Sugar. AT the opening
a firm tone prevailed, and most of the shares
traded in were higher than at the close yes.
terday. Better prices was the rule in the
early dealings on moderate buying. A brief
period of depression occurred between 10 and
III O'Clock, which was followed by a sharp
upward movement. The advance was
steadily held during the afternoon until
o'clock, when the general list gave way a
fraction. In the final dealings partial rally
was made and the railway list closed fairly
firm.
On report from st. Louis, where the an
nual meeting was being held, that the Ma
tionai Llnseed OIL company had decided to
issue s., 5000 900 6ebenture bonds. the stock
broke AZ per cent on sales of 600 shares. The
selling movement quietly ended, and re-
covery of 2Sl4 per cent was made on buying
by insiders.

market was strong during the forenoon but

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. IA story OF real
destitutlon comes to Topeka direct from
The western part of the state. 1t was IN
the nature of a petition of thirty-nine clti-
zens of Lane county, living in and around
the small town or Healey, on the Missouri
Pacific railroad, asking for aid. Accom-
panying the petition, which is dated Feb.
TO- was the following statement, signed by
William J. Hyde, H. y. Brown and John
Hanney, all of Healey:
''At this writing there is terrible
storm raging in this part of the country.
and we pray you to furnish us some coal
Immediately, less we suffer for want OF
fuel. Our people are ou5 of coal and
money, and have not cow chips enough to
aurn three days"
The communication was not received by
he commissioners until today, being de-
layed by the blizzard. In similar emer-
gences before, the railroads have kindly
donated coal for the sufferers, and it IS
probable they will do so IN this case Act
ion must be taken Immediately, for four
davs have now passed since the communi.
cation was written.

HARCOURT IS RAMPANT.
Goes After Joseph Chamberlain and
Scores Him Roundly.

PORTSMOUTH, Feb. l4-At an enormous
meeting here tonight. Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer
ridiculed Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain's idea
of a national party that would sink all
minor differences and have In view only
the common interest of the country. He
said that such a party would end-as all
such parties previously formed have ended
in its protector being its last member.
In regard TO the position of the house OF
lords, Sir William declared, with much
emphasis, that the bishops have been the
most militant, the most aggressive, an
tagonistic of popular rights. Tumultu-
ous cheers gave evidence OF sympathy
with this declaration.
Lord Salisbury had thrown the gage OF
battle, and the Liberals would not shrink
from the fight. The audience here rose III
a BODY, cheering frantlcaIiy and waving
hats and handkerchlefs.
1--WE have to face probably the rashest
and most fearless leader that has ever
headed the Tory party. So extreme have
been his counseis that even his own foi-
lowers have shrunk from his violence.
We know what we have to deal with.
Misery acQuaints man with strange
bed-fellows. Laughter They Will
shelter. we understand. under Mr;
Chamberlain's gaberdine. Birds OF
Il feather flock together. Mr.. Chamber
lain dares us TO dissolve. We do not take
the doctrine Of the constitution from a
politician who bespatters the lords with
vitupertlon one day and beslaves them
with his adulation another"
The work in the house of lords during
the last fortnight had marvelously opened
the eyes of the public. Give them rope
enough" the speaker exclaimed. Let
us have few more such fortnights. Let
it be burden to the minds OF the coun-
try that the lords have become the CHAM
pions of all abuses and the enemies of all
reforms. To judge from the tone OF Lord
Salisbury's amendments, it might be sup
posed that we were living six centuries
back and listening TO the words OF Front
de Bouif, addressed to some
Saxon churl. Let us hand up
bill after bill for them to maui
and mangle. When the cup Is full and the
time is ripe, the verdict OF the people will
determine once for all whether what Lord
Russell calls the whisper of fashion Is to
prevail over the will Of the people"
Loud and long cheers were given to Sir
William when he flushed his speech.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The general mana
gere of the Central Traffic association
lines running east from Chicago met to-
lay, and decided that all divisions of busi-
ness shall hereafter be made on the basis
of the association agreement. No money

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Ormonde club
states that its offer of purse of SIS, COO
for fight between Corbett and Jackson
still holds good.
1t is the belief here that the fight will be
pulled off on this side Of the pond" The
pugilistic fraternity is disheartened over
the watchfulness of the state authorities
in America. and while the contest at
Jacksonville did come off, they regard it
as more luck than anything else.
''Parson" Davis, Peter Jackson's man
ager, is travelling about America. looking
into the numerous bids for the fight. 1t
is understood that he will ask II guarantee
of $40, 600 of the bidders that the fight shall
not be molested. 1t is believed that no
such guarantee can De secured, and the
Ormonde clubs offer will have to be taken
finally from necessity.

THE GUTHRIE LIAR.
He Gets in His Work in Reporting the
Recent Storm.

PoyCA CITY O. T., Feb 14.-[Special i
II makes one who is on the ground aid
Knows the facts not only weary but indig-
liant to read such rot a. that telegraphed
from Guthrie on Feb. T. 1t is true we
had some snow and moderately lively
wind down in Oklahoma on last Sunday,
and it is likely some who were compelled
TO be out during the day suffered some
from the cold; but we do not believe there
has been single death in the strip or in
the other parts of Oklahoma On account
of the storm. The report Of a man named
Stone with his wife and five children being
found in n claim house near Cross with
their frozen throats cut from ear to ear,
and the other story purporting to tell how
a family near Ponca station had been
frozen we have investigated, and we now
assure the EAGLE and its readers that
they are. pure, fictions-myths, construct
ed out of an uncut piece of cheese CLOTH
We have yet to hear OF the first case of
severe suffering, let alone death. The
storm was not severe in this latitude. The
snow is two or three feet deep in occasional
drifts, but does not average to exceed six
inches. The temperature did not fall
lower tnan 10 degrees above zero, and that
only for one night. 1t has hardly been
down to the freezing point since: The
settlers in this section are generally well
provided with the comforts OF life, and are
not asking hep from any source.
ALvA, .. T., Feb. 14-[Special ]-Alya,
after Two days without mail, is again in
communication with the outside world.
We got yesterdays EAGLE this morning,
aud our people were greatly surprised at
the report sent out from Guthrie that
great suffering had existed here by reason
Of Sundays snow-storm, and that ], 900
head of cattle had frozen to death. TIE
report would have been just rs near true
inquiry from all parts of the county fails
10 disclose any suffering or loss Of stock,
and. further, no courier went from Alva
to Guthrie, aud no relief committee has
been organized to scour the country.
Parties have been in from all parts of the
county, and inquiry has been made in re-
lation 10 the condition of the people and
stock. All admit that stock would suffer
should the snow remain on the ground
many days. The snow is now badly drift
ed in places, but at no time during or
since the storm has the temperature fallen
TO zero. This morning 1t is clear and
pleasant, and things indicate a nice day.
lnasmuch as the EAGLE few days ago re-
ported the Wichita liar at home, we are
apprehensive that he has moved TO Guth-
RE. 1t is true that the trains on the Santa
Fe were snow-bound, hut it was in Kansas
That they got stuck, and not in the strip.
The snow now on the ground is about six
inches on Level, and is very damp. 1t
will probably make about three-fourths OF
an inch of water when melted.
