THE TRADE REVIEW.
DutIncss Picking ap After the Elections
The Outlook.

New York. Nov. 9--Dun & Co.'S review
of trade tomorrow will say: Business
has been waiting the greater part OF the
past week. and the elections are expected
TO give it sharp stimulus. Whether men
are right or wrong in expecting better
times. the fact that they expect them does
tend to make things better. In specula-
tive markets there has been scarcely any
movement, and nothing favorable 10
holders. Scarcely anything Is doing In
woolen goods for spring delivery, and the
demand for fall and winter goods has
nearly disappeared. In general. 1t IL be-
lleyed spring orders thus far are not more
than half the usual quantity. Sales OF
wool at the three chief markets OF the
east have been only 3,375,900 pounds
against 3,S6i,7OO last year and 4,2lh,00O IN
1892 for the corresponding week. There Il
no speculative buying, and manufacturer
are purchasing only for their immedi-
ate needs, so that prices, though averag-
ing about a quarter OF cent lower than
a month ago. show no tendency as yet
TO improve.
Failures during the past week have
been 26l against 1856 last year"
New Yor, Nov. 9.-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say; "The main interest In elec-
tions naturally tended to restrict trade,
particularly in the south, where Il in

AS BAD AS COOK HIMSELF.
Two Bold Men hold mp Town and Com.
matt Murder.

Coffeyville. Kan. Nov. e.--Two mem
bers Of the Cook gang plundered the
town Of Lenapah, /. T.. and left bloody
trail behind them this afternoon. They
entered the town i'm the character OF
bold bandits. without any attempt at
concealment, and terrorlzed the clti-
zens until they had carried out their
plan OF robbery. Il. Il. Melton. a brave
young man who attempted 10 stop them
with his gun when they were riding
away, was shot and instantly killed.
Another man, whose name cannot be
learned tonight, is reported to have
been seriously wounded. Both of the
victims were with a small force of citl-
zens who hastily armed themselves and
attempted TO prevent the escape Of the
bandits.
The robbers were mounted on fast
horses and were heavily armed. Some
of the citizens claim to have recobnized
them as Cherokee Bill and Jim French,
well known as the lieutenants of Bill
Cook. The robbers held up the pro-
prietors OF two stores and looted both
places. They also robbed the post
Office. John Shuffeldt, proprietor Of one
store, lost 500 in money and gold
watch.
shuffeldt proclaimed his loss TO the
town before the robbers had finished
their work, and the band OF citizens
was almost between them and their
horses when the robbers We're ready TO
mount. An effort was made to stop
them, but they were on horseback with
drawn pistols, and were flying away be-
/ fore their would be captors could make

These Gentlemen May Have a Con-
trolling Influence In the
Next Senate.
A Point not Generally Considered
by Those Figuring on the
Election.
Republicans or 30 Discovered In Texas
Some Related Rsturns Coming
In From the Woods

Washington, Nov. "a point that
has been overlooked in computing the
political complexion of the next senate
is the admission OF Utah with senators.
The act OF the last session OF congress
admitting Utah provided that In March,
1895, constitutional convention shall
be held. on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday In November OF that year
n constitution II 10 be submitted 10 the
people and. II ratified and found by the
president 10 be in accordance with the
act, he will issue a proclamation admit
ting II as astate. The act also provides
that a representative TO the Fifty
fourth congress shall be elected at the
same time vote Is taken upon the con-
lature shall be chosen, and that II the
constitution is ratified the legislature
shall Immediately meet and elect two
state senators. As there is about u
month from the time the election is held
TIL congress meets, there will be ample
time TO have all formalities complied
with and Utah proclaimed state In
time for Its senators and representa-
tlyes to participate In the organization
of the congress. This would make in
all ninety senators and. as the next
senate now stands, the politics OF the
senator's would cut an important figure.
Another probability which arises is
the admission of both Mexico and Ari-
zona, which may be accomplished in
time, so that four more senators would
participate In the organization of the
next senate. Bills have already passed
the house for the admission OF both
these territories. The senate commit
tee on territories has reported them fay-
orable 10 the senate, and tney aIe now
on the calendar. Senators of both par
ties have been urging their passage.
II is, therefore, quite likely the battle
for control of the senate will yet be
fought out in Utah, New Mexico and
Arizona next year. The admission of
these new states would make total of
ninety-four senators and any party to
control would need forty-eight for a
majority. With the vice president, the
democrats could control the senate
with forty-seven senators.

of Pendleton, democrat, and Barber
