WEED COMPOUNDED.

AS 1t is to be presumed that Mr.. Weed
had pretty good ilea of his own shrewd-
ness and suhtility, it is easy to believe
that he was astonished at Lincolns sumo
rior talents in that line, but he was i'm
partial enough to admit to Governor
Morgan, upon his return to New York.
that Lincoln knew more than he did, and
could he implicitly relied upon to do the
right thing and TO refrain from doing the
wrong thing.
The rest is history.
The first Presidential candidate to de-
feat himself by an unfortunate utterance
was Henry Clay. That was in 1874. Pre-
vlous to that time candidates had been
allowed to do pretty much rs they pleas
ed, and according TO custom Mr. Clay en-
joyed that privilege for him. Despite
the fact that he had used it freely from
the beginning of the campaign his
chances were excellent, and his election
almost conceded, until he wrote that ia
nous Alabama letter., which contained
an unfortunate allusion to the admission
of Texas as State. That was received
very unfavorably everywhere, but with
particular disfavor in New York. where
It's effect was so disastrous as to turn the
State against him and thus defeat him.
since that time managers of Presidcn-
tial asprants have tried to keep their can
didates in tie background. But certain
conditions have occasionally operated to
bring them into active participation, vet.

CHAPMAN TO GO TO JAIL
New York Sugar Broker to Be I'm
prisoned and Fined 500.
He Must Serve Thirty Days for Re
fusing 10 Answer Questions-Re-
leased Pending Appeal.

Elyerton L. Chapman was this morning
sentenced by Judge Cole to thirty days in
Jail and to pay 500 fine. His offense
was his refusal 10 answer questions i'll the
famous sugar trust Investigation by
a Senate committee in the spring of SS4.
The motion FOR a-pew trial was argued
aud overrul led Just before the sentence was
passed, aud Immediately after sentence an
appeal was taken, appeal bond fixed at
$3.50, and Mr.. Chapman gave balm 81 600.
His surety on the appeal bond was Mr..
JUhr W Mccartney. and on his bond to ap-
pear when wanted was Mr.. Charles Bell,
the banker.
In the argument Judge Wilson first
spoke for Mr.. Chapman. He went over
much the same points as already made
supporting each with such authorities as
could he produced.
He was followed by Assistant District At.
torney Hugh T. Taggart, who ably cppo sed
the contentious made 10y Judge Wilson.
Mr. sheiiabarger closed the argument for
Mr. Chapman.
Judge Cole, in brief opinion, overruled
the motions for a new trial and in arrest
of Judgment. He said it was not necessary
to prove that Mr.. Chapman had acted
in willfuI disobedienCe OF the law. 1t was
only required to show that the questions
were asked, that they were pertinent to
the inquiry and the inquiry was authorized
By law. This had been done.
He did not think Mr.. Chapman had acted
in contempt of the committee with a
thought of breaking any law. He appre-
ciated the circumsta noes surrounding the
case. Yet he was Obliged to impose q
double penalty. He would make 1t as light
as possible.
Mr.. Chapman was then called upon to
stand up. He did so without any sign OF
nervousness, and Judge Cole pronounced
the sentence.
There were few in court besides the i'm
mediate participants in the trial.

STOCKS TOOK A RISE.

Among the Strong Ones Were Grang-
ers, COnIers and General Electric.
New York, Feb. 1.-The weakness in the
stock market this morning was short lived
and soon after the opening the whole list
developed strength. The decline at the
start was due to London selling and to
local realizations by holders who fear
that the passage of the free silver amend
ment to the bond bill will have bad effect
on the security markets. The selling.
however, was not important, and the Of
feripgs were quietly absorbed.
The particularly strong stocks were the
Grangers, General Electric, Tennessee

was based on reports of more favorable
earnings while General Electric was higher

this morning in the office of Leon Tobriner.

arate assembly outside of Gambrinus, and
the Federation assenis to this.

all of the locked-out men. This the Feder:i-
ton positively demands, but the bosses say

The Cattle Market.

There is every indication that the
cattle market is on the eve of boom.
The demand for good cattle in the
Eastern markets is sure to raise prices
and when Eastern buyers go as far
west and north as Shasta county Cal
ifornia, to buy cattle to fill orders
and pay the additional freight and
expenses of bringing them this far
when stock can be shipped from Ne
vada points SO much cheaper it is
certainly fair to presume that Nevada
shippers can hold stock at reason
able advance in prices and realize
good profit. The extraordinary in
terest displayed by agents of Eastern
railroads ought to convince stock
owners here that there must be de-
mand, for if the shipment of cattle
was not anticipated by these agents
they would not be here. They study
the market and the buyer comes first
to see what he can do and argues
charges of transportation and asks for
reduction in prices on that account
then comes the agent and makes rates
and between the two the stockman
sells his cattle at low figure and
pays the freight-Reno journal.

steamer ever built in this country,
with the exception of two trans-At-

glided into the water. The latter was
christened the Grand Duchess by
Miss Nellie Eldridge of Boston.
The Helena was named by Miss
Agnes Steele, the daughter of the

which soon begins the construction
of the mammoth battleships the Ken
lucky and Kearsarge, authorized by
