GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

Chicago, July 2S.-There was sharp
decline in wheat today on fine weather
and manipulation by bears. September
closed at 81 3-4 or 1 Is per cent below
yesterday. Corn lost l is per cent and
oats IA to 3-S per cent. Provisions
made slight recessions. There was
good trade in wheat and a fairly active
market, the range being / 3-S to lie.
The feeling manifested early was fair
Iy steady. all things considered, but
weak spot set in later. Good buying by
several of the larger sellers of yesterday
absorbed the early offerings, but in
creased realizing followed and in the alb
sence of support prices weakened. Gables
were rather disappointing, early advices
showing declines of IA to Id which, in
face of the fact that the prices were
maintained on this side yesterday, was
taken as an evidence of weakness. An
other depressing factor was the absence
of bids for cash on foreign account, and
the bids to the interior were said to have
received more readily acceptance. The
break in corn was also felt in wheat to
some extent. The weather was more
favorable. being clear and warm in most
sections of the winter wheat belt and the
forecast is for seasonable conditions.
Corn was again weak and still further
declines scored. September selling off to
"a 3-Sc. The further reduction in rates,
the Atchison coming in with a fiat one
of 0 cents from the Missouri river, equal
to about ; cents per bushel, together
with heavy receipts and excellent crop
prospects, owing to the recent rains and
clear warm weather, abroad were the
prime factors in causing the weakness.
Hog products were weak from the be-
ginning of the season to the end. Though
heavy in feeling the trade was light and
the decline, which was the result of it
was chiefly in lard and pork and ribs.
September pork in fact rested with
gain of DC and January pork without
change Lard closed &c lower for Sep
TENDER and Z lie lower for January,
ribs closed at declines of 5d7 lie for
September and 1-2c for January.

MANOR MENTION.

Manor. Tex, July A.-!Speclai;)|A
contract was closed yesterday with A. a;
McGiloroy to drill the artesian well SUI
feet deeper. 1t is hoped before reaching
that depth or at that depth a flow of
better water will be secured. The de-
termined effort of our citizens to get a
well of good water speaks well for their
enterprise, and they will no doubt be re-
warded and a new era dawn when the
desired aim is accomplished.
Farmers report cotton in fine condition
and it is likely there will be plenty OF
silver in this vicinity soon, whether 1t Is
free" or not.
Rev. w. G. baltimore of Bolton is con-
Quoting meeting at the Baptist church
and is receiving marked attention from
intelligent and large audiences. Mucn
interest is being manifested.
Rev. Hamlin, at the Christian church,

large audiences.

APPROVE TILE SENTENCE

London, July 29.-Most of the morning
papers, III commenting upon the sentence
of DR.. Jameson and associates give it
their approval. The opinion prevails
that the sentence will be reduced by the
crown.
As DR.. Jameson was leaving the court
room many in the crowd tried to grasp
his hand and shouted: God bless YOU
sir"
The Chronicle has an interview with
Dr. jameson himself in which that gen
tleman says he was surprised at the
leniency of the sentence after Baron
Russelfs summing up. He said further
that he and his friends had all decided
TO return to Africa as soon as their
sentences had expired.
In an editorial the Chronicle says:
The sentences are merciful. At
length the raid is reduced to its proper
proportion.

Fifteen Lives Lost and Much Damage to
Property in Colorado.

Morrison, Col. July pa cloudburst
on Bear Creek canyon. just above here:
at o'clock this morning sent wall OF
water eight feet high. which not only
damaged property, but caused the loss
of fifteen lives.
The dead, as far as known, are:
Mrs. Miller and three children.
A party of campers. fifteen or eighteen
in number, who were living in hut just
below town.
Viola Foster. little girl of Denver
who was with this party, was saved by
people who heard her cries.
This much has been learned on this side
of the creek but as all bridges are down
and as the water is still high and swift,
nothing can be learned from the other
side. Searching parties are out on both
sides of the stream looking for dead and
injured.
Wires are down in all directions except
the telephone line to Leadville and heavy
storms between here and there threaten
to break that.

rapidly extended to this market on buy
ing orders from the south against shorts.
The local contingent were forced to buy
in many cases where stop orders We're
reached by the unexpected rise. Adj
verse crop news alarmed the shorts. The
cable news was disappointing. The out
standing short interest is very heavy, and
in view of the bad crop news the shorts
are nervous. Manipulation in. August

McKiniey's Great Victory.

The Illinois battle has been fought
and Mckinley has won. This probapi!
means that the presidential nomination
will go at st. Louis to the Ohio candi-
date, if not by reclamation, then not
later than the second ballot. The peo-
pie of every section appear to be 1or
him, with an enthusiasm which not
even the politicians, with all their ef-
fective political mechanism and COM
mand over the arts of manipulation.
can suppress or ignore.
1t will hardly be claimed by the sup
porters of Major Mckinley that the
amazing popularity of his candidacy
rests on personal grounds. AS man
he is amiable, courteous, and unques-
tionably honest. No syllable of scandal
has ever been whispered against either
his private or his official life. He has
emerged from a score of years activity
in politics under circumstances which
leave no doubt as to his entire integrity
and conscientiousness. In his daily in
tercOurse with people he attaches men
to him, and so far as we know he Is al
most wholly without personal enemies.
Yet it is not alone the personal quality
of the man which can account for the
remarkable present demand for his
nomination.
To attempt to explain that demand
in all its bearings would be to exceed
present limits; but the chief reason
very obviously is that McKinley's cam
didacy has filled the public imagination
with the notion that the surest way to
undo, in 1896. the mistake of 1892 will
be to honor the man whose prosperity
creating handiwork was then rejected
and reviled. The man is identified with
the idea the popularity of the one is
the vindication of the other. AS has
been appropriately remarked, the peo-
pie recognize that in William Mckinley
they have candidate for president
whose very name is an all-sutficient
platform.

"Progressive RepubIicanism !"

Senator Davis of Minnesota delivered
before the Americus club of Pittsburg
on Monday night powerful speech
upon the subject, Progressive Repub-
licanism."' Every word of it went
straight to the mark of political COM
mon sense, but there were one or two
paragraphs which we deem worthy of
special notice. For his central theme
he chose the idea of protection,-not
alone the levying Of revenue duties on
Imports so as to discriminate in favor
of the home manufacturer but consist
ent, progressive, all-round protection
for American as against foreign inter-
ests. Said he:
Il would protect the shipping inter-
ests Of the United States on the high
seas until the consolidated glories Of
that flag should blaze once more in
skies from which they faded long ago.
We have protected our coastwise mar
inc until its tonnage is the greatest in
the world. Is it not worthy of atten-
tion that the tonnage In ship construc-
tion on the great lakes, under protec-
tion to our coasting trade, is nearly
equal each year to that on the whole
length of our $1,000 miles Of ocean
coast? The freight money of our coast
ing marine is paid to American owners,
masters and seamen. Why not protect
those who go down to the great deep
in ships and flee, as with the wings Of
the morning, to the uttermost parts of
the sea? Why not pay to the citizens
of the United States the scores of mil
lions of dollars in gold which are now
annually drained from us into the cof-
fers of foreign shipowners and UNDER
writer's?
II would protect agriculture to the
utmost limit. ], do not believe in send
ing half way around the world to Aus

pense Of its production having been

pendence Cuba would be a second San Do,

pendence Cuba would be second San Do
mingo.
Thus the president of the United States
has taken a stand contrary TO that Of q
great majority OF the people and of con-
gress. The president may be right, but
the friends of Cuba complain of the meth
od by which he has reached his conclu-
sion. Since congress "meddled' he has
listened to but one side of the argument.
His recent effort to induce Spain to accept
mediation or TO extend reforms in Cuba
was proposed only after full discussion
with the Spanish minister here. II was
argued in a wholly friendly spirit on both
sides. There was nothing in II to which
Spain objected. There Il small chance
that it will amount to anything. So far
as the president Is concerned. his hobby
of getting ahead of congress appears to
have led him into an attitude which the
people are not likely to indorse. At the
same time 1t is only just TO Mr.. Cleveland
IN say that he believes the Venezuela af-
fair with Great Britain should be dis
posed of before we seek any new inter-
national troubles. and that his recent prof
fer of good offices may be only ine fore
runner of more decisive and effective ac-
tion later on. But there is disappoin;-
ment in Washington because the presi-
dent moves so slowly and gingerly, and
there il irritation because he sets himself
up as more than the people, more than
congress, and more than "a king.
