Fort Dearborn skyscraper, had at
tempted to leave his wheel in the base

permission being refused carried the
matter to the courts. Judge Payne

PROF. HUXLEY DEAD.
The Long Illness of the Eminent Scientist
Closed in Death.

Closed in Death.
LONDON, July l. - Prof. Thomas
Henry Huxley, the scientist, died Satur-
day, aged 20 years He had been crit
ically i'll for weeks. Prof. Huxley was
born near London. His school days
were very short. At 81 he was al
ready professor of two sciences
of natural history at the Roy
al School of Mines and of physi-
ology at the Royal institute. AS
assistant surgeon to Fl. NJ. S. Rattle
snake he had spent three years in
studying natural history off the Aus
tralian coasts and had written out the
record Of his observation in the earliest
of his books. The admiralty refused
to pay penny of the publishing ex-
penses. The young assistant surgeons
salary was rs Cd day and the volume
only saw the light some five years
later, when it was issued by the Royal
society. But from the days of his first
fight with fortune, Prof Huxley's
fame rose steadily. At the age of Al
he had become president of the Brit
ish association, had developed that
limpidity of style and strength of logic
which makes him both the most re-
doubtable antagonist in the literary
arena, and the most popular exponent
of the discoveries of science.

CHINESE sMUGGLERS.

Prominent Officials Arrested at Spokane
for Issuing Fraudulent Certificates.
SPOKANE, Wash, July 2.-The gov
ernment, through Special Agent F.
d. Schuyler, has unearthed a gigantic
conspiracy to defraud the government
through the wholesale issuing of coun-
terfeit Chinese registration certif-
Gates, and as result warrants were
issued to-day by United States Com
missioner Kenyon for James Graham,
register of the land Office at Coeur
d'Alene City, Edward Rick and
w. Floyd Pollard, engrav-
ers of this city, and Hen
ry Tolton, of Kenrick, Ida. The
first two were arrested yesterday, the
former giving bonds in $4,000 for his
appearance at the September term of
court. Schuyler has been at work Sc
cretly on the case for several weeks
and found that government officials
and others at points in Montana. Idaho
and eastern Washington had entered
into a conspiracy and for months past
have issued bogus certificates on
large scale, 300 of which have
already been discovered The GER
tifcates bear the counterfeit seal
of A. L. Wyman, collector of
internal revenue for the district of
Montana and were printed in news
paper office in this city, the work be-
ing done by several printers after office
hours. United States Attorney Brinker
is on his way here from Seattle, and
when he arrives it is expected on good
authority that other prominent gov
eminent officials will be behind the
bars in connection with the conspiracy.

hOma CITY,
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, July las the
result of jail delivery at this point at
o'clock yesterday evening two people
are dead and several wounded more or
less severely. When Jailer Carver en-
tered the corridor of the Jail at the
usual time to lock the prisoners in their
cells, Vic Casey, Robert Christian and
William Christian made a savage on
slaught on him with weapons they had
managed to secrete. He was struck
terrific blow over the right eye and
knocked insensible. The prisoners
dashed over his body and away
to freedom, scattering the people
on the crowded streets and keep
ing at bay their pursuers with
a rapid discharge of revolvers
which in soma mysterious manner
they had obtaiaed. Vic Casey jumped
into passing vehicle containing a
man and a woman, and at the point
Of pistol compelled them to
jump out. Almost before they
had time to obey his com
mand Chief of Police Milt Jones
opened fire on the escaping prisoner,
who promptly returned the fire. A
perfect fusillade then took place be-
tween the Christian brothers, Casey
and several officers, in which Casey and
Jones were instantly killed, one man
shot through the leg and a woman
slightly wounded by spent bullet.
One of the Christians then mounted
the dead officers horse, while the other

in recent years well known Baptist
pastor of Washington, died at his home
in Northeast Washington Saturday.
Gen. Smith came within half a
vote of being president of the United

candidates for Lincoln's vice presi-

more than Gen. Smith. When Presi-
dent Lincoln was assassinated Vice
President Johnson assembled to the

FARM PRODUCTS.
Wool Clip Short-The Movement OF Wheat
and Corn.


and Corn.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 2.-The ir-
regular upward movement of the gem
eral range of prices, which has been in
progress for four months, shows no
sign of ceasing, and there is no reason
to believe that it will not continue
with natural reactions for many
months to come. Wool, the last of the
great staple products to feel the up
ward impulse, has now been reached.
Extraordinarily large sales were made
last week and the price has advanced
to 3 cents. Investigation into the
supply for the year leads to the con-
clusion that the clip in this country
will be reduced 20 per cent.
A good many influences will be at
work to cause a light early movement
of winter wheat. There is less reason
this year to doubt official estimates
than there has been during the past
three years. The government figures,
indicating winter wheat crop $4,000
600 bushels less than last year, are
probably right. Then the scarcity of
old wheat will cause country millers
to buy more freely of the first new
wheat than they usually do. 1t is
difficult to see how there can be much
of a movement out of a $4,000. 600
buskel crop in Kansas when the
states requirements for bread and
seed are nearly 10000, 900 bushels, and
the Kansas mills ordinarily grind TO-
600, 600 to $1,000, 900 bushels more for
trade outside of the state. It may be,
though, that enough farmers will be
forced to sell to cause considerable

NEW SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.

Six Hundred and Sixty-four Factories
Started During Three Months.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. July 2.-The
Tradesman has issued its quarterly re-
port of new industries established or
incorporated in the southern states for
the quarter year ended June 80. The
total number reported is 664, as against
638 for the second quarter of 1894, 654
for the same period in 1898 and ITO for
1892, showing that the industrial devel-
opment of the south is being we'll main
tanned. The great interest which the
south is manifesting in the building of
cotton mills is shown by the fact that
1Of new textile plants are announced
as in progress, whereas in the second
quarter of 1894 the whole number re-
ported was thirty-two, the number for
the same period of 1898 was seventy
two and in 1892 it was ffty-nine for
the second quarter.
