Senate met in secret caucus and voted TO
pass the joint resolution 10 adjourn from
March j until April 9, in concurrence

SENATOR LODGE IN MADRID.

PARIS, Nov. S.-United States Sena-
setts, has returned to this city from
Madrid. Owing to the prominently
expressed views of the Massachu-
setts senator to the effect that the Am
erican congress should take a definite
stand In behalf of the Cuban insur-
gents. it was rumored that his visit to
the Spanish capital had broad polit-
ieal significance. In fact it was stated
that HE was pursuing the inquiry as
to whether a proposition to purchase
the island of Cuba by the United States
woilld& be entertained by the Spanish
government if that matter was
brought forward. This morning Sen
ator lodge said that while he was at
the Spanish capital he was fortunate
In meeting many of the men prominent
III ptfblic life, and among others SEN
ator Canovas del Castillo, the premier,
bait In none of these interviews did he
brdach the subject of the purchase of
Cuba.i, The senator stated that he
visited Madrid simply as "a tourist and
he desired to emphaticly deny that
he had any political purpose or had
EXPRESSED any views regarding Cuba.
At the same time it is understood that
the senator, while at Madrid, studied
the Cuban question from the Spanish
standpoint, and in so doing gathered
much information which may be
of use to him when the matter comes
I'D for discussion before the United
States senate.

the early part of the present week. Ex-
treme unsteadiness characterized the
market and the larger operators were
evidently using their power to force
values as low as possible and thus
shake out such stocks as remained in
weak hands. By Wednesday it became
evident that liquidation had about run
its course and that the professionals
were inclined to purchase on any fur
ther depression rather than sell on
rallies. The increase in the bear in
terest is also an element of Importance
A good many holdings have apparently
passed from spectators into the pos.
session of strong interests, and though
public participation is nea ly exit Il, the
combined influence of the enlarged bear
account, and of the traders who con,
sidered that rally was due, resulted
in tendency to advance prices The
troubles in the foreign markets, which
reasserted their influence on Friday,
are considered as serious only in a
temporary sense. Prices have in some
cases been forced lower, but the sell
ing, save in cases where foreign inter-
ests were involved, was mainly for
short account"

Hon. George w. Wing, Mayor of the
Capital City of Vermont, is a man of
high eminence. A distinguished law
yer, he has served the state in many
high offices, having been Deputy Secre-
tary of State, occupied position in the
State Treasury, was Postmaster Of
Montpelier, and was elected to the
State Legislature in 1882. Owing to his
great popularity, he had the distir-
gu;shed honor to be elected Mayor of
Montpelier, position he now fills with
illustrious success.
When such a man, occupying so high
a position in community, indorses the
great curative powers and recommends
the sick and suffering to use DR..
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy, no one will hesitate for a moment
to use this grand medical discovery,
this great restorer of health and
strength.
Mayor Wing says: "I have used DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy in my family, with marked and de-
cided benefit.
ESPECIALLY has it been useful in in
somnia, arising from Indigestion and
it's attendant evils. I think well of
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, and freely grant permission
to use this letter in advertising it.

number of passengers. The platform
side of the big train is usually we'll
filed with passengers who do not set
on board until the last minute, friends
who come to- the depot to say farewell
to departing travellers, railroad Off
cials, who have business on the spot, in
cluding always the genial Cal Stone
and his aide-de-camp, George Flanders.
Nothing delights Cal Stone so much as
to see the long train pull out with
big list.
Yesterday he had on a long face.
Even the tourist car was not full. ITS
a funny thing he said mourufully to
the little group which played under
study to the customary crowd, "how
many people are superstitious. This
is Friday, and of course the business
is not up to the standard. You'd be
surprised to know how many people
there are who will not under any cir
cumstances start a journey on Friday.
AS for the 18th of the month, why it's
useless to try and get any travel start
ed on that day at ALL"
Casting a last glance at the disap-
pearing train he slowly wended his
way to the city ticket office. 1t was a
poor day for Stone.

ALLEN G. THURMAN DYING.
Injury From Fall fastening
the End.

the End.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. Son Fri
day evening last, Judge Allan G..
Thurman had fall which resulted
in serious injury to his hip. No
bones were broken, and his consti-
tuition being so wonderfully strong,
led to the belief that he would soon
regain his accustomed health. The
effect of the nervous shock appeared
to have passed away and Tuesday
and Wednesday he had improved SO
much that his physicians and friends
thought he would undoubtedly get
up again in a short time. Yester-
day, however, a severe relapse oc-
Cured, and there is today but little
hope that he can recover. His Vigor-
Gus constitution may yet pull him
through, but the chances are all
against him. This information comes
from members of the family.
Mr.. Thurman was alone in his par
lor when he fell. He thought he
was strong enough to walk to the
library and back to his chair. In
returning to his chair he fell.
Judge Thurman was suffering con-
siderably tonight from the injury to
his hip, and from rheumatism, but
otherwise was much better, having
fully recovered consciousness. He
is able to take nourishment, and may
survive for several days.

GEN. THOMAS JORDAN DYING.

4 NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Gen. Thom-
as Jordan is said to be dying at his
home, 124 East Twenty-fifth street.
Gen. Jordan was classmate of
Gen. Sherman, and was chief of the
staff of Gen. Beauregard. He was
made brigadier general just before
the close of the war by the Confed-
crate congress, on the recommended
tion of Jefferson Davis. He was ed
ucated at West Point and was a room
mate of Gen. w. T. Sherman. He
served all through the Seminole cam
paign, and afterwards in the Mexican
war, where he served in the quarter
masters department. At the close
of the Mexican war he was the rank
ing officer, all the others in charge of
the troops being dead or disabled,
who had charge Of the removal of the
United States army from Mexico.
Gen. Jordan was said to be the last
of the United States troops to take
his feet from Mexican soil after the
close of the Mexican war

TRANs-MISSoURI LINES.
Strong Probability of Their En-

tering the w. II. a.
CHICAGO, Nov S.-Officials of the
Missouri lines held meeting to-
day for the purpose of determining
whether or not they would cast their
lot with the Western Passenger as
sociation and allow its agreement to
cover their business up to Colorado
common points. The meeting ad
journed without taking definite action,
but the chances are very strong that
the lines will come in under the as
sociation agreement. The greater part
of the day was taken up by a conSid-
Grafton of the association agreement,
and the lines got over it without any
particular trouble. Tomorrow the
rules of the association will be taken
up. The only disagreement today was
Missouri river. The Rio Grande West
ern insisted that the Union Pacific re-
duce its rates from Utah points to the
Missouri river from $50 to $25, on ac-
count of its low rates from Montana
points to Missouri river points, routed
through Utah. The Rio Grande West
ern claimed that, as the matter now
stands, the rates from Montana
through Utah to the river allowed
scalp on their Utah business and they
wished it removed. The Union Pacific
demurred, and the result was a long
argument, and no result at the end of
it. 1t is probable that the matter will
be taken up at the meeting tomorrow.

PRICES ARE DECLINING.
Yet the Waves of Increased De
mand Have Yielded Net Gains.

mand Have Yielded Net Gains.
NEW YORK. Nov. s.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: 1.-The interruption
of general trade throughout the coun-
try incident to the elections has been
emphasized by unusually mild wea ther,
which checks demands for clothing,
heavy weight textiles and other sea-
sonable goods. .Jobhers at most of
the larger distributing centers report
that orders now received are largely
of a filling-in character. Except for.
iron, steel and cotton, the larger por-
ton of advances in prices of commod-
tiles reported since March last has
largely disappeared Earlier anticipa-
tions of continuous advances in prices
and demand this year, the outgrowth
of the activity of two and three months
ago, have met with disappointment
But there is little reason for the re-
action in sentiment by many who dis
cuss business conditions. Every wave
of increased demand since the tide
began to rise in March has resulted
in net gain. The sentiment of traders
generally is that the outlook promises
an active spring trade and that the
holiday season will prove satisfactory
The total exports of wheat from
both coasts of the United States this
week (iour included as wheaD amount
to 2,566,0OO bu, against 2,7430OO bu last
week, as compared with 2,6S9,0 600 bu
in the week a year ago, 2,S13,000 bu in
the week two years ago, S,SS5. 900 in
the first week in November. 1892. and
with 100000 bu in the corresponding
week of 1892. The feature of the bust
ness week among larger Eastern cities
is an improved demand for textiles,
with increased strength in iron at
Pittsburg after the recent reaction.
Business failures throughout the United
States reported to Bradstreet's are 260,
against 299 last week. In the week a
year ago there were 241, and two years
ago $685. There were 80 business fail
ures in Canada this week, against IS
last week and 40 in the week last year."

IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Plan to Extend 1t for the Benefit
of Postal officials.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The presi-
dent today approved an amendment to
the civil service rules which will result
in bringing many postmasters and
their employees within the classified
service. The addition is as follows:
"And whenever, by order of the post
master general, any postofflce shall be
consolidated with and made part OF
another postoffice where free delivery
office thus consolidated, whose names
appear on the list of said office, ap-
proved by the postoffice department.,
and including the postmaster thereof,
shall from the date of said order be EN-,
ployes of said free delivery office, and
the person holding on the date of said
order the position of postmaster at
the office thus consolidated with said
free delivery office may be assigned to
any position therein, and given any ap-
propriate designation under the claSSi-
fication act which the postmaster gen.
eral may direct"
1t is the intention of the postoffice de-
partment to consolidate many offices
throughout the country. This consoli-
dation will not necessarily do away
with the Office, but will establish them
as stations of some central point. The
postoffice department intends to make
experiments in this direction, and if
they prove satisfactory the system will
be largely extended. 1t is probable
that presidential offices, as we'll as
fourth-class offices, will be included in
the consultations. The order does not
mean, however, that when any office
is consolidated with another that it
will be served as a free delivery office
or station, 1t will receive and dis
tribute it's mail as at present. The
postmaster may become a clerk or
chief of the station, or he may be dis
charged and some other person ap-
pointed, but as soon as he becomes the
clerk in the station he is included in
the classified service, and protected by
it. The civil service commissioners say
if the new plan works as well as an
ticipated by them and the postmaster
general that it will result in placing
large number of postoffices under the
civil service rules.
