Display.
The sixth annual exhibition of the
Tri-City Florists club at Library hall.
Davenport. which opened yesterday
afternoon, is attended by the richest
and most magnificent display in the
line of Horticulture ever seen in the
three cities. Chrysanthemums are to
be seen in rich profusion of the old
standard varieties with colors of pink,
creamy. white, deep red and orange;
with petals smooth and beautiful,
and in some Of the varieties fully
five inches long. making a bloom al
most twelve inches in diameter.
The amateur as well as the pro-
fessional displays of blossoms are
subjects of admiration and de-
light. all contributing in SO fascinat-
ing degree to beauty's realm
which has thus been so charmingly
created. The three cities have
united in this gorgeous event which
in itself is a tribute to natures in
imitable loveliness, and to enter into
a minute detail of all that is to be
seen and enjoyed would be a task
impossible.

The TRADE OUTLOOK.
Great Advance In Cotton Has Arrested E1
pOrts-Wheat Receipts Large.

Great Advance In Cotton Has Arrested Ex.
ports-Wheat Receipts Large.
NEW YORK, Oct 19.-R. G. Dunn &
Co. weekly review of trade says: The
events of the week are promising,
though to speculative markets not en-
couraging. The great advance in
cotton had arrested exports, and so de-
ranged exchanges that shipments of
gold were for time apprehended, but
the break in the market indicates that
the national movement of the product
may soon be restored. The hating Of
demand and moderate yielding of prices
of the industrial markets show that
. season OF reasonable attention to
natural conditions has arrived. The
cotton market has been partly cor
nered for early delivery by a New Or
leans operator and his followers, and
it has been twice in no distant years
by Liverpool spectators. The esti-
mates of Mr.. Nei1l, who has been con-
spicuously correct in Judging recent
crops, indicate a yield of $500, 600
bales, where most spectators had ex-
pected much less, leaving many to re-
alize the meaning of 5000, 900 bales
brought over from last year. The
dCLud1 TGc01pGS illus Lar dT0 OA1y IL per
cent. less than last year, from a crop
of 5000, 900 bales.
Wheat does not go out freely and
the attempt to advance prices on Mon
day was followed by an immediate de-
cline. The Atlantic exports, flour in
cluded, have been in the past three
weeks, 4,55S, Ass bushels, against 1885,
Ill bushels last year, and the big ship
ments from Russia, and of late from
Argentine, show that the world is not
obliged to pay Atlantic prices for
American wheat. Western receipts
for the week were remarl1a-
bly, large, 1888, 900 bushels, and
for three weeks, 21,63s, 977, against
II, OF, POI last year. The rush of wheat
to market and the largest output of
flour ever known at Minneapolis are
not evidences of a great shortage in
yield, but the price has changed only
an eighth for the week.
Corn is stronger without clear rea-
son, for while exports in three weeks
are 326, 2s4 bushels, against 2S6, 7O3 last
year, they can at best be disposed of
an insignificant fraction of the great
yield.
Failures. for October thus far cover
liabilities of So, 925, 500, of which 81, $50
265 were of manufacturing, and So, 1885,
534 of trading concerns. Failures for
the week have been 263 in the United
States, against 253 last year, and 46 in
| Canada, against 43 last year.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
The Oldest Son of John w. ETackay Thrown
from "A Horse.


SAN Francisco, Oct. 21.-A cable
gram received here late last night
from Paris announced that John w.
Mackay, Jr., Oldest son of John w.
Mackay. was thrown from a horse in
Paris Thursday and died Friday night
without recovering consciousness The
deceased was about S5 years of age,
having been born at the Grand hotel
in this city in 1870. He and Clarence,
aged about %, were the only children
of the millionaire, the Princess CO.
lonna being a stepdaughter. For the
past six months he and his brother
had been spending their vacation in
Europe, partly with their mother, part
ly with their stepsister, Eva, the Prin-
cess Colonna; and at the time of the
fatality the two brothers and the
princess were in Paris together. Mr..
Mackay, ST., is in this city and received
only brief cablegram announcing the
accident and death. Efforts to obtain
particulars were fruitless. Mr. Mackay
is overcome with grief.

A Miner Drops His Lamp and Four Men
Lose Their Lives.
FRANKLIN, WASH, Oct. 81. - Fire
started last night in the main hosting
slope Of the Oregon Improvement Co.'S
mine, causing the death of four men.
The accident was caused by August
Johnson, who dropped his lamp, set
ting fire to a feeder of gas. Instead OF
throwing a shovel of dirt to
put it out he ran down the
slope to get the pit foreman.
While he was bringing help the tim
bers caught fire, and five lengths OF
the works were ablaze, and the smoke
became SO intense as to prevent get
ting at it. Finding that the fire could
not be extinguished, the four men vol.
unteered to 60 down and close a door
between the main and auxiliary slope.
They are supposed to never have
reached the bottom alive. The bodies
have not been recovered.

NEW BISHOPS ELECTED.

The EpiscopaIian Prelates Fiji the New
KiOtO and Alaska Di0ceses.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. 16-The
change of front of the house of bishops
of the Episcopal convention In voting
to name missionary bishop of Alaska
was due to the personal guarantee OF
the new bishops salary for three years
by Bishop Potter, of New York. This
guarantee is understood to have
been signed by j. Pierpont Morgan.
The bishops this morning began
balloting for bishops to preside over
the new missionary jurisdictions. Rev.
j. M. Francis was elected on the first
ballot bishop of Kioto, Japan. He is q
missionary now resident in that coun-
try. Rev. Peter j. Rowe, of Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich, was named as bishop OF
Alaska on the first ballot.
The conservative element in the
house of deputies won a signal victory
yesterday. By vote that was close,
as far as the clericals were concerned,
but decisive on the side of the laymen,
the Lambeth quadrilateral, which has
been discussed in every aspect by the
church on both sides of the Atlantic
during the past three years, and
which has proven a sore subject of
contention between the narrow and
broad church parties of the American
church, was scattered to the winds,
and the question of Christian unity
was declared as being outside the palo
of the consideration of the church.

THE VENEZUELA DISPUTE.

The st. James Gazette Says Lord Salisbury
Has Sent Ultimatum to President
CrespO.
LONDON, Oct. 21.-The st. James Ca
zette says it is in position to state
that Lord Salisbury has sent an ulti-
matum to President Crespo, of Venezu-
ella, demanding reparation for the ar
rest of policemen at Uruan, and
stating the terms upon which
Great Britain will definitely de-
termine the boundary dispute of
Venezuela. The ultimat um is either
on the way to Venezuela or, possibly,
has by this time been actually de.
ivered. Lord Salisbury and Mr..
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
both agree that it is necessary to end
the frontier dispute at once, even if it
had to be accomplished by force.

MORE BANK THiEVING.

with the Cash.
DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 19.-C. 81. Stuck
ey, cashier of the state bank, is miss
ing and with him SIS, 900 of the banks
cash. He locked the safe and closed
the bank as usual Wednesday evening
and everything was supposed to be all
right. He did not put in an appear
ance at his accustomed time
Thursday morning, however, and
when the safe was opened
it was discovered that all the bills
of large denominations and all of the
gold coin was gone. Investigation
showed that he had not occupied his
room at his residence Wednesday night
and further search failed to disclose
his whereabouts. The police were sum
moned and they are confident of CATCH
ing Stuckey. They think the great
bulk of the gold, So, 500, will help in
detecting him, as it will be hard to
conceal. For some time past Stuckey
has been leading fast life and it is
thought he was living beyond his
means. The bank officials say the de-
falcation will in no way effect the
solvency of the bank, as it is protected
by bond of $40, 600.

The British Intend to Hold the Frontier
Within a Certain Line by Force.
LONDON, Oct. 19.-The St. James Ga
zette this afternoon makes sensation
al statements regarding Venezuela,
which seem to show that the dispute
between that repu bile and Great Brit
ain has assumed very grave aspect.
1t SAYS: ''We are now enabled to give
the tenor of a remarkable dispatch,
in which IS outlined the imperial
policy towards the colonies. The
document is of much Importance, in
usmuch as it was followed by cabled
instructions from Mr.. Chamberlain to
the governor of British Guiana to OBJ
tain without delay a vote for the pro-
vision of two Maxim guns, one of
which is to be stationed at Uruan
or else along the frontier where
the Venezueleans may attempt
to cross. The mere fact that Mr..
Chamberlain ca bled instructions for
the defense of the frontier in this man
ner is positive proof that the imperial
government will not tolerate g. repeti-
ton of the Uruan incident and that it
intends to hold the frontier within the
Schom burgh line, by force if neces-

the track in front of the train. The
engineer of the train says he did not
see the wagon until he was right on
top of it, as there is a sharp curve ap-
preaching this point, and the engine
struck the wagon about in the middle,
demolishing it and killing all four
men. The horse escaped unin jured.

closed state bank of this city of ex-
Cashier j. r. Colean is declared by
Vice President J. J. Stewart to be
fully $4,000. This has renewed the

the other third will be re-
quired to collect on the securities
