Impeachment Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The house com
mittee on foreign affairs today held a meet
Ing and considered the Barrett and Mccall
resolutions relative to the speeches of Am
bas7ador Bayard. The committee decided to
report the Mccall resolution in a modified
form. AS agreed on it calls upon the presl-
dent for information as to the alleged ut
terances of Mr.. Bayard and the correspond
ence on the subject. The resolution has
been very much toned down and made
mild in comparison to what 1t was when
introduced. 1t was thought that in view
or present circumstances 1t would be much
better to make the resolution simply one
Of inquiry.
The Cuban revolution was brought before
the through one of the resolu-
lions for the recognition of the insurgents,
introduced by Mr.. Bingham of Pennsylvania.
1t was the unanimous opinion Of the COM
mittee that congress should not take action
until further information was in its pos
session; so a resolution calling upon the
State department for correspondence and in
formation on the uprising was drafted.
The case Of ex-Consul Waller was brought
up and the resolution Of Mr.. Miller of Kan
sas asking the State department for the
records Of the trial and all correspondence
with the French government will be re-
ported to the house.

TRADE REVIEW.
The Volume of Business Shows
Noteworthy Increases.
ADVANCE IN WHEAT QUOTATIONS,
Reports from Grain Dealers and Mlllcrs In
the SIX Principal Winter Wheat
States on the Prospects Of
That Crop

New York, April s0-liradstreet's
to-day says; The volume Of general
trade has maintained the previous
weeks proportions, and at some points
shows noteworthy increases, as COM
pared with the total year ago. The
reaction in petroleum prices appears to
have been overcome and the tendency
is again upward, based on drop In
stocks from about 100000 barrels OF
Pennsylvania oil in January, 1894, TO
less than 100000 barrels Of merchant
able oil, So marked and rapid has
been the appreciation in price Of petro-
leum that speculation In 1t has been
excited.
Further advances in quotations are
noted also for wheat, on improved de-
mand for export; cotton, on wide
consumption, present and prospective;
print cloths and other cotton goods,
because of higher raw cotton; Besse-
mer pig iron, on the increase OF cost OF
ore, coke and labor, and shoes and
leather, on the further stiifenng OF
values Of hides The upward turn OF
prices for dressed beef and live cattle
has been maintained. Coffee is lower
as are lard and oats, but Indian corn
and pork remain steady ut last closing
quotations. Wool Is barely steady, as
consumers are waiting the new crop
before buying,
Exports of wheat from both COASTS OF
the United States this week, Hour in'
cluded as wheat, show n third weekly
gain In succession, with the total
amounting to ,, lG5, 900 bushels, against
1904 900 bushels last week, 3,OlV'oOo

Senator Allison believes in bimetal-

demonetization of silver in 1873, he
said, was not to make money scarce as
gold was more plentiful from the in
crease IN California, and it was then
considered that 1t would continue, a'

WASHINGTON, April 20. Officials and
diplomats regard the answer OF Lord
Kimberly to Nicaragua as bringing
the British. Nicaraguan question to o
critical stage, The ultimatum ex.
pired two days ago. Under these
circumstances II is considered set
tied that Great Britain will now
proceed to collect the debt, as
II is viewed from the British stand
point. The fact that Great Britain's
exercise Of force will not be exerted so
as to affect the United States inter-
ests is indicated by the fact that neither
the state department nor Sir Julian
pauncefote has been notified OF Lord
Kimberly's response. II is said such
notification would be given II United
States interests were to be even re-
motely impe.iled.
