According to his story it was Nc

had skeleton key. There was no col
lusion of any kind with anybody con-
nected with the asylum.
Quigley's story shows that the escape
was due to the violation on the part
of the attendants of the institution
and also to carelessness in the manner
of locking. Some days ago Mcguire
managed to retain two metal spoons

ants to count in and count out the
utensils at every meal. Out of these
spoons Mcclure fashioned two keys.

have opened all of the sixteen cells in

them to liberate Davis and O'Donnell,

FoREIGN MEAT PRICES

New York. April 12-The National Pro-
visioner, the organ of the meat and pro-
vision trade, will say. in its issue to-
morrow: No more absurd theory has
been advanced for some time than the re
cent attempts which have been made 10
make the consuming public OF this coun-
try believey that the shortage in cattle
now so apparent everywhere is due to
any other than natural causes. With a
wisdom, however, begotten of ignorance
and inability CT Discrimination TO accur-
ately Investigate false and erroneous
news, it has been trumpeted in every
state in the Union to such an extent
that the greater portion of the people
of America are under the impression today
this great food product is tied up in the
vicious grasp of a monopoly. It is alb
surd and unjust to couple the names of
reputable business houses with conditions
for which they are in no way responsible.
1t would be an absolute i1npossibility for
a combination of men, no matter what
the extent of their capital was, to corner
the beef or cattle market and the money
has not yet been minted that can do it.
A little philosophic reasoning and a
glance over the past history of attempts
to corner meat products would readily
demonstrate to our friends of the daily
press how fallacious their arguments are
in this particular instance.

that they had a right to organize to

New York, April ia special dis
patch to morning paper from Wash

Secretary Morton, Of the agricultu-
raj department, recently sent a note
of thanks to J. r. Buchanan, general
passenger agent of the Fremont, Elk
horn & Missouri Valley railroad. sta
toned in Omaha. Mr.. Buchanan re-
sponded in another letter, suggesting
that in Mr. C1eveland's nomination
for a third term rests the chief saliva
ton of the country from the silver
craze. Secretary Morton sent the let
ter containing this suggestion to John
De Witt Warner, of New York, a lead
ing light of the Reform club. Mr..
Morton's letter to Mr.. Warner reads:
United States Dept Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., March 81.
To Hon. John De Witt Warner, New
York City:
My Dear Mr.. warner-The enclosed
letter from J. r. Buchanan, general
passenger agent of the Fremont, Elk

Omaha, may be of interest to you. It
Is in reply 20 one written him by me,

culated out west. Ny object in send
ing you this letter Of Mr.. Buchanan's
Is to give you a thorough-going bust
ness mans views Of the situation The
letter shows how fallacies flourish
among the financiers Of the west and
south. The letter also points out the
necessity Of immediate coherent and

money. Having read the same you

would return the same and [ will
write Mr.. Buchanan. Possibly our
friends Of the Reform club may be
benefited by seeing Mr.. Buchanan's
communication. Very truly yours,
81. STERLING MORTON"
The conclusion Of Mr.. Buchanan's
letter to Secretary Morton is as fol-
lows: -
My Judgment IN the present outlook
is that the eastern conservatives of
both parties are likely to unite and
possibly renominate Mr.. Cleveland,
who will carry the east and south, no
doubt; the east on his able conserva-
tisn, and the south because they could
never vote otherwise than the Demo-
cratic ticket, thus ensuring a vote
which would elect; and the west will
undoubtedly support the Populists or
free silverites unless there is a great
change. II this is not done I feel that
the election will be thrown into the
House as the result of three tickets
being in the field, in which case the
balance of power would be with the
free silver interest. believe if a vote
were taken today on the naked ques-
ton Of a Is 20 1 silver platform, Ne
braska would give It a majority Of
so, 600 or near IL.
These suggestions are for what in
formation you may be able to CLEAN
from them. I believe the situation is
critical and of importance.
Yours truly,
J. R. BUCHANAN

ALL POINTS TO
BIG BUSINESS.
Improvement Is Slow, and Is
Met with Obstacles.
SILVER AND LEAD QUIET.
SHOWING MADE BY THE CLEARING
HOUSES.
Twenty-Three in the Decrease Col
unin, and Salt Lake is Among
Them-The Percentage is Small,
HoWever-A Quiet Day in the
Haunts of the Bulls and Bears.

New York, April 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade, which
issues tomorrow, will say: Progress
toward better business continues, but
it is slow and amid many obstacles.
In speculative aspects and in whole
sale demands for goods, the week
shows improvement. Money markets
are undisturbed, and little more ac-
tive. But among the chief obstacles
better wages, even while many man.
ufacturing works are running with
out profit and others at a risk of loss.
Retail trade has improved on the
whole since March. Crop prospects
will greatly affect the course Of trade
for some months, and the government
report had little influence to discour-
age.
For consumers, the worst feature is
the rapid advance in meats. For the
first time in long period, prices Of
commodities average a shade higher
than a year ago, and in Great Britain,
also, owing to different causes, a slight
advance occurred in March. On both
sides of the ocean the lowest level

lowed by some rise. Wheat has
yielded nearly a cent, although At
lantic experts for two weeks have
been 3,7O6,64S bushels, -four included,
against 3,599,6SS last year, with west
ern receipts only 2,0SS,476 against
APPS, 467 last year.
Decrease in the receipts of cattle are
exaggerated, 659,4 having arrived at
Chicago, against 7S9,543 to date last
year, and the prevalent opinion is
that western packers are helping ma
ture to some extent,
Sales of wool are particularly inter-
esting, amounting for the week to
$780, 200 pounds, and for five weeks
previous to 25,62,20O, against 25,277, 476
in the weeks of 1892. In brief, sales
are close to the quantity required for
full consumption, and the long delay
in placing orders and the lateness OF
the season make the proportion OF
mills at work larger than usual. No
Improvement in prices appears, and
domestic wool does not respond to
recent advances in foreign markets.
The low price encourages manufac-
turers to compete much more vigor-
ously with the foreign goods Of many
kinds than they had expected, and for
the medium and cheaper grades of
goods they have more than the usual
demand, because purchases by consum-
ers have for two years been compare

more effective, but there is a good de-

Paul Beaudreau and William Brohan,
retired for consultation with their at

come to trial next for conspiracy. It
was apparent that he would be con-

There are still four cases against

these men are also expected to plead
guilty. The convictions are the first
that ever occurred in Minnesota for
