THE WEEKS NEWS.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY rs.

CHICAGO was visited on the night OF
Feb. IS. by the most singular meteoro-
logical phenomenon that has ever come
under the observation of the local
weather observers. Black snow. yellow
snow and brown snow fell in binding
clouds over the entire city, and reports
from suburban towns brought the news
that the vari-colored storm was not an
exclusive Chicago production.

Mrs. MAMIE d. FIELD, wife of Mar
shall Field. the great merchant OF Chi
cago, died on Saturday at Nice, France.
of peritonitis after an illness of two days
duration. The sad news of her death
reached Mr.. Field by cablegram at l
o'clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Fields
death was wholly unexpected and was
great shock to Mr.. Field and the friends
of the family. The deceased had resided
abroad for several years. Her last mo-
ments we're cheered by the presence of
her daughter in law, Mrs. Marshall Field,
Jr., her grandchildren and her sister, Miss
Scott, of Ironton, Ohio. She has been
an invalid for a number Of years and for
the greater part of that period had been
constantly attended by her sister.
Mrs. Field died in her fifty fourth year.
She was born at Greenup, KY, the
daughter of Robert Scott, who moved to
Ironton, Ohio. while she was child and
entered the iron business. She was one
of three daughters who we're famed in
that section of Ohio for their beauty and
cleverness. In 1868 she became the wife
of Marshall Field, who had just entered
upon the threshold of the great success
which has attended him in the business
world.

In news way the wheat prospect is
very uncertain; in a speculative way
very uninteresting. There seems to be
left no great interests on either side.
The short lines are certainly growing,
but there is no very energetic bear cam
paign under way. Those who believe
in lower prices are still fearful of the
out siders; still apprehensive that some
thing may start enough public buying to
cost the shorts a good deal of money.
There is as much timidity among the
bulls as the bears. Some who owned
important lines have become discour-
aged at the lack of general interest in
the market; others at the increase in
the movement toward Europe from the
other surplus countries; still others at
the very slow decrease in supplies at
home. Wall street, finding its securities
advancing, is less interested at Chicago.
The foreign markets have been showing
too much weakness to encourage specu
lative buying by either the British or
continental spectators in America.

Chief of the Weather Bureau.

A DISPATCH from Washington, Feb.
81. says that the Populist senators
have now decided that when the mo-
ton is renewed for the consideration
of the tariff bill they will cast their
votes in the affirmative. Ii they adj
here to this decision they will be able
to turn the result from the negative
to the affirmative side of the scale, and
thus secure the consideration of the
measure in the Senate, providing as
large number of Republican senators
vote in the affirmative as did on the first
occasion. These senators say they have
never been opposed to the consideration
of the bill, but that they were taken by
surprise by the first motion. They will
not now initiate the move, but it is ex-
pected that this will be done by Senator
Morrill,. 1t is understood that Mr.. Nor
rill considers it in the interest OF the
bill to postpone for some time another
effort to secure action, so that consider
able delay is possible.

THE Westminster Gazette publishes
an article urging Lord Salisbury not to
further delay the reply to Great Britain
to the proposal to appoint Joint Brit
ish and American Venezuelan Commits
sion. In the course of the article the
Gazette says that England is free to &C.
cept the Cancellation proposed by Amer
lea, in the way of which there is no OBJ
stacle except the possible objection of
Venezuela to Great Britain and the
United States taking the matter out of
her hands and treating it as question
between themselves. For England, the
Gazette thinks. there is great advantage
in settling the question with the United
States instead of Venezuela. If Ameri-
ca claims the dispute as her own she
must assume the attendant liability of
becoming surety for Venezuela. Eng
land, at least. has nothing to complain
of.

THE Secretary of the Treasury an
nounced last week that "Messrs. j. P.
Morgan & Co. and associates, under their
bid for S10O,O00,OOO of United States 4
per cent bonds of 1925, are entitled to
receive bonds of the face value of about
S4.700,0O0. in addition to those of which
they have already been notified. Exact
figures cannot be stated until returns
from various sub-treasuries are fully
verified" This will give Mr.. Morgan
about S38, 100000 of the new bond issue.

THURSDAY of last week it was decided
to hold the Southern States and Chicago
Exposition in Chicago, beginning Aug.
next. The precise location will be
fixed later and the Exhibition will not
run to exceed three months. Mayor
Swift has named committee of forty
to manage the Chicago end, the strong
est. as Mr.. Giles declared in the conven-
ton, that was ever appointed in this
city. The Southern States will adver-
tise the scheme throughout the South,
will collect the exhibits, bring them to
Chicago and install them, all at their
own expense. When the Fair is over
they will remove their exhibits within
fifteen days after the closing. Chicago
will provide a home for the Exposition,
with no less than 100000 feet Of floor
space, and as much additional room
within door and without as may be
deemed advisable; will conduct the
whole financial end of the enterprise,
pay all the cost of maintaining the Elk
position, including police and fire pro-
lection, but will not be responsible for
losses by theft or fire.

THERE are indications that the Senate
will order an inquiry into all the circum-
stances attending the issue of bonds.
The resolution of Senator PETER to
create special committee for this pur-
pose was sent to the calendar through
the opposition of Senator Hill. who
talked it out of parliamentary position in
the morning hour, and assigned it to a
place from which it can be relieved only
by vote of a majority. The next day
however, Mr.. Lodge renewed the subject
matter by presenting similar resolution
directing the inquiry to be made by the

countries being present. Mr.. Morgan of
Alabama occupied almost the entire day
in narrative and historical speech. He

LAST week the first important strike of
the cutters and trimmers of Chicago was
declared in operation. Between 500 and
600 men who had been employed steadily
in the shops of the big clothing manu-
facturers remained at their homes when
the hour for work came and the cloth
ing, cutting and trimming industry is
practically at standstill. The men who
went out upon the order of the union
are prepared for long fight. Their
numbers are augmented by the 100 or
200 cutters who left off work earlier in
the week or during the recent troubles.
1t is hoped that arbitration may finally
settle the strike, but just now there is
small encouragement in this direction.

HITBBARD BROS COTTON LETTER.
New York, Aug. 25.-(Speciai) The
foreign market showed more strength
than the trade anticipated this morn
ing, under the report from the south
that the recent rains had done more
injury than good, and that the state
Agricultural Department reported a
worse condition of the crop than any
one had believed. Possibly an advance
in our market followed, only to be lost
at the posting of the official rainfall
showing that light rains had again
fallen in Texas, and that fair down
pour prevailed in the Mississippi val
ley.
Exporters also became sellers, as
their bids were accepted, but it was
noticeable that the speculative buying
showed some increase under the adj
vices of further injury to cotton due to
the recent rains
The trade does not know what TO
make of these reports as they believe
that what was needed to develop the
crop after the breaking of the drought
was slow rains, and they are not dis
posed, at the moment, TO look for a
further decline, especially as the week
ly government report is expected to be
a bad one. This afternoon under the
influence of anticipated bad bureau re-
port, our market closed steady, at a
Slight advance from yesterday. The
feeling among traders is bullish, based
on these anticipated crop reports.

In Fact in Two Fights, but Winner in
Only One.

rel with a man named Jake Kriss. who

We're two fights one at Fulford's house
yesterday morning and a little later at
the stone crusher west of the city in
Ward S pasture.
Kriss went to Fulford's house at 81
West Fifth street and asked for his
wages. There was a dispute and Fulford
elected kriss from his house, using
chair to aid him, and infiicting on him an
ugly bruise over the left eye and bump
on the back of his head. Later FulfOrd
went to the stone crusher and, there the
two engaged in another combat in which
Fulford got the worst of it. He came out
of the encounter with q black eye and
