MISSOURI A NEWS.
Important Experimerts.

Arrangements have been completed
by the executive committee of the Mis-
souri, state board of agriculture for a
series of experiments with Texas cat
tie. These tests will include the fol-
lowing: Experiments to ascertain
the value of dipping infected
southern cattle in some huid that
will kill the Texas tick, with a
view of rendering them incapable of
spreading the infection. Native cattle
will be inoculated with a serum in or
der to render them immune to south
ern fever, thereby enabling Missouri
breeders to supply Texas with i'm
proved males. Experiments will also
be conducted to ascertain what con-
n%ection, if any, the Texas tick has in
communicating splenetic fever. A box
of ticks has been received from Aus
tralia by Prof. Walters, director of the
experiment station. This is supposed
to be a Overwhelming insect, and will
be thoroughly tested on native cattle.

puN's COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

Gradual Increase In the Numbe of Fall
ures Reported-The Late Speculative Re-
action Had No Effect Upon the Business
Outlook-UnreliabIe Government Crop
Reports Discounted in Advance-slight
Advance In Boots and Shoes.
New YORK, June 13.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. say to-day in their weekly review
of trade:
Failures for the week have been 246
in the United States against PAL last
year and IS in Canada against "a last
year.
Speculative reaction has not the
least changed the business outlook.
The fictitious price made for wheat
and cotton meant no good except for
individuals, and the change in prices
nearly in accord with actual re.
lations OF demand and supply, only
conforms to conditions which have
been known for months.
The attacks on stocks on Wednesday
was so plainly artificial that it's infiu-
ence passed with the day and neither
in foreign relations nor in domestic
business was there any thing to JUS
tify alarm.
The government report as to wheat
indicated a much smaller yield than
anybody really expects, but that has
become so much the rule that the re-
port had nc real influence and the
principal effect was the serious depre-
citation caused by large sales in antici.
patton of the report, which seemed tC
be thoroughly known in advance tc
some spectators. The government
estimate as to cotton vas unexpect-
eddy favorable, and has caused a de-
cline of more than half a cent il a
single week.
of June were Al per cent. larger than
last year
1t is not the time to look for marked
Improvement in industries, and the
best thing that can be said of them is
that nOne have as yet been seriously
disturbed by threatened labor difficult
ties. 1t seems not improbable hat al
such difficulties may b. averted, ex-
cept, perhaps, tn controversy about
wages of iron puddlers and tin plate
workers. Markets are extremely dull,
because a great number OF orders for
finished products are kept back by I'M
certainty regarding the maintenance
of prices by the various pools and com
binations. In all the markets the
tendency is toward lower prices.
The demand for boots and shoes
seems slightly better notwithstanding
an advance of 2lE cents per pair is de-
mandeG on some staple qualities. The
textile manufacturers are making nc
Improvement. The accumulation OF
cotton goods continues. Print cloths
have declined to the lowest point eyeI
reached and a general stoppage to re.
lieve the market is expected. Sales OF
wool in two weeks of June have been
only 5,S23,OO pounds. against 12,562,-
o pounds last year, and no gain is
expected in the manufacture for some
time to come.

sARBARous TURKS

Repeating, with Impunity In the Island of:
Crete. Their Awful Atrocities In Arme-
Il Russia, as Before, Opposing ANY,
thing Beyond Diplomatic Protests, which
Means n Carts Blanche for Rapine aud
Murder.
LONDON. June l4.-Though the
smoke of burning villages can be seen
from the European cruisers along
leagues of the Cretan coast, the porte
has sent official communications to the
various embassies, declaring that per-
feet order and peace prevail through
out the island. Russia has again be-
come a lightweight or any action by
the powers in connection with Crete.
She opposes anything beyond diplo--
matte protests, which would, Of
course, be as futile as they were in the
case of Armenia. In the repre-
sensations of Greece against
permitting the Turks to crush
the rising in the island by sheer
force of arms the powers have mau
and will make no response, while the
porte is sending fresh battalions of
troops to Crete to be employed against
the Christian insurgents. The forces
on the island under command of Alb
dullah Pasha will soon number 20.00D
men. Russia is not even neutral in
the matter. She has brought pressure
to bear upon the king of Greece to pre-
vent any action being taken by the
Greek government and also to put a
stop to supplies being sent to the in
surgents.
The sum of the position is that the
Turks are getting Il free hand to deal
with the Christians as they will, and
they are doing it with Il vengeance.
Reliable advices from Constantine
pie are to the effect that the sultan is
suffering with q tumor of the spine.
His physicians wanted to perform an
operation on him, but when he was
told that it could only be per-
formed at the risk of his life he
declined to permit the physicians to
operate. 1t appears that at the
Selamlik on Friday, the Moslem sab
bath, when the sultan drives in state
from the palace to the mosque to per-
form his religious duties, his ace was
painted in order to conceal from the
spectators the ravages caused by his
illness.
The British government displays no.
interest whatever in the Cretan ques-
tion. Its hands are full with the Sou
dan campaign.

Gen. Baratieri Acquitted of the Charges
for which He was Court MartfaIed.
MAssowAH, June 13.-The court
martial trying Gen. Baratieri yester-
day found him not guilty of the
charges preferred against him. Gen.
Baratieri was commander of the Ital-
ian forces employed in the campaign
against the Abyssinians. He was in
personal command of the army when,
in March last, the Abyssinians inflicted
a crushing defeat on the Italians.
He was tried before a court
martial for crime, coming under the
provisions of articles 81 TO SIS of the
military penal code, of having on
March ! last attacked the Abyssinians
from iueXcusable motives under cir
cumstances rendering defeat inevita-
bic, and of having abandoned the chief
command of the troops from 1890 on
March l until nine o'clock on March
!, thereby failing to give the orders
required for lessening the conse.

Anent Gov. Morton's Telegram Declining
the Nrce-Presidency.
ST. Louis, June la.-Mr. Platt last
evening received an answer from a tel
egram to Gov. Morton asking if it
were true he had notified Mr.. Depew
that he would not accept the vice
presidency. Mr.. Morton answered
that it was true.
A humorous incident occurred in
connection with this episode. An en-
terprising newspaper reporter came to
MIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew and said that
II was whispered about the corridors
OF the hotels that the telegram he re-
ceived from Gov. Morton with refer
ence to the vice-presidency was a.
forgery.
Well" said Mr.. Depew. with a hu-
morous twinkle of the eye, come to
think of it, it wasn't in Morton's hand
writing, and then he laughed heartily
and the enterprising newspaper man
vanished.
