Chicago Change. s

Chicago, Feb. 14.-The two extremes strength and weakness, were present at different times in the wheat market today. In the morning the tone was exceptionally strong, and it was a difficult matter to solve why it was. An oversold condition of the market was doubtless the real cause of strength. After noon prices broke away rapidly in explanation of which it was claimed that the advance being unnatural the decline merely lighted matters May wheat opened at 66ssg661ac, sold between 67ssm671a and 66Ac, closing at the inside, asc under yesterday. Cash wheat was about steady.
 Corn was moved altogether in sympathy with wheat. Nothing new in the situation was reported, the trade continuing to look for moderate arrivals until the roads are fin a better condition. May corn opened at S0lsc sold between 30as and BOG, closing at the inside, hc under yesterday. Cash corn was quiet, but steady
 Oats were dull, but joined wheat and corn in the early advances, later declining. There was nothing interesting or especially en- titled to mention in the trade. May oats closed a shade under yesterday. Cash oats were steady.
 Provisions-The hog market after opening firm and higher later became weak and lost the advance Provisions opened in sympa- thy with the latter tone, but subsequently, ruled steady. Packers sold liberally and commission men reported many outside buying orders. May pork and May ribs each closed a shade under yesterday and May lard unchanged. Domestic markets were quiet and steady.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

tie, and so did the south. There was a lack of speculative vim and as soon as 4he buying died out prices fell apparentlyssof their own weight. The receipts for Ihs than expected, and they are compared aAth exceptionally small receipts of a year, ago when storms at the south caused sltodeil and very sharp diminution of the crop Inopel ment. The dullness of spot cotton and the sluggishness of speculation are really thei worst features of the situation. There IS q tendency, however, to oversell the next crop, and next crop months accordingly showed great steadiness today.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cottop Letter.

New Fork. Feb H.-(Special)-An unex- pected improvement in Liverpool today caused an advance here at the opening. May selling on the call at 790, but the re- ceipts were heavy and the sellers outnum- bered the buyers from start to finish, prices gradually gave way and there was a great pressure to sell in the last few minutes. The close was easy with 7.S3 bid for May. New Orleans estimates the receipts there for the coming week at 35,OO0 bales, and at all the ports at 100000 bales, which would be a much heavier movement than in the season of 1893, with which comparisons are being made. Unless Liverpool interposes a further check to the decline prices. will probably go lower. s4s

TO ALL CHRISTIANS,
Pope to Address Them on the Re-
union of All Churches.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10-Special ad-
vices to the World from Rome say:
The central object of Pope Leo's poll
cy has always been to bring about,
or to prepare, a grand reunion of the
Christian churches. The holy father
has already published two encyclicals
devoted to that end. One was ad-
dressed to the princes and the people
The other took the form of an appeal
to Anglicans. A third encyclical will
shortly be made known. 1t is to be
addressed "Ad Homnes Christianos''-
ITO All Christians" Thus one more
innovation will be added to the others
Of the present pope. In former times
it was the custom to address the papaI
documents 'To the bishop and the
faithful in communion with the Holy
Apostolic church" Leo XIII. has de-
fled tradition by dedicating his ency-
clical to non-Catholics as well as Cath
olics.
The next encyclical is really meant as an
appeal to Protestants and schismatics. It will
attempt to prove to them by theological and
historical arguments that from the days OF
ST. Peter onward the pope has always been
the proper primate of all Christian churches
In support of this thesis Leo Kill will quote
not only from the Catholic theologians but
also from number of heterodox authorities
choosing passages from the works which they
had published prior to their rupture with the
papacy. Among other writer's (and for the
first time probably, since the Reformation
Luther will be quoted.

war, and in 1869 was elected governor,
which position he filled for four years.
After that Gov. Marshall pursued the
quieter walks of life and gave his at
tention to his dairy, stock and realty
interests. In 1874 he was, however, ap-
pointed a member of the state railroad
and warehouse commission and served
until 1881.
Gov. Marshall was a member of the
State Historical society and was it's sec
retary from November, 1893, until No
vember Of last year. when i'll health
compelled him to resign. He was
member, too, of the Old Settlers asso-
citation, and an enthusiastic companion
OF the Loyal Legion, at the gatherings
of Which he used to lead the singing of
Marching Through Georgia" and other
war songs.
He has been prominent character in
the history of Minnesota and the North
west, and his services have always
been of great public benefit
Although successful in other ways he,
through various misfortunes, never ac-
cumulated much money. He had d pen
sion from the government and his life
was insured for a good sum. but beyond
that there will not be much.

ANTI-BRITISH ALLIANCE,
Russia and France VIII Act With
Germany.

LONDON, Jan. "a special dispatch
from Berlin this afternoon says that
Russia's cooperation with Germany
in the Transvaal matter has been as
sured, and that France will act with
Russia This apparently tends to con-
firm the report OF an anti-British al
lance and that the action of Emperor
| William towards the Boer republic was
a thoroughly weighed step. A dis
patch from Pretoria says the Beers de-
mand the surrender of all British
rights and suzerainty over the Trans
Vaal, the pre-emption of Delagoa bay
and the canceling of the charter of
the British South African company
1t is further stated that the Beers
have arrested, on the charge of trea-
son, eight leaders of the recent move
ment among the Uitlanders of Johan-
nesburg. There is a decided tone Of
"back-down" in the utterances of the
German press towards Great Britain.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
says: Steps were taken in the high
est quarters to obtain, by family In
fiuence, full explanation from EN-
peror William, and the communica-
tions which have passed have done
more than anything else to bring about
the change of tone in the German Of
hclal press towards Great Britain. The
German newspapers, official, semi
Official and reptile, are tumbling over
one another in their anxiety to ex-
plain that the tension of relation was
the fault of England. We are now told
1t was no concerted action with the
Transvaal, and the extrme point of
German interference would have been
reached by the landing of q few no.
icemen at Delagoa bay to protect the
German Ultlanders, and that the en-
peror's telegram was not meant for
what 1t was thought to mean"
Ihere was little orno abatement in the
anti-German feeling here. At meet
ing of the London Radical fedora tion
today, after many fiery speeches, a
resolution was passed demanding the
immediate removal of the name of Em
peror William from the British army
and navy lists. A baseless report was
received at the meeting that the officers
OF the First dragons, in garrison at
Dublin, of which regiment the emperor
was made honorary colonel by Queen
Victoria, had burned his majesty in
effigy. 1t caused a loud and prolonged
outburst of cheering. The colonel of
the First dragons this afternoon tele-
graphed that there is absolutely no
ground for this story. 1t is said, how
ever, that before the receipt Of this Off
cial denial the German ambassador.
Count Won Hatzfeld-W Wildenburg, made
representations on the subject to the
Marquis of Salisbury. asking to be in
formed as to the truth Of the report.
The secretary of state for the colo
nfes, Joseph Chamberlain, has sent the
following dispatch to President Kruger:
II have received the queens commands
to acquaint you that her majesty has
heard with satisfaction that you have
decided to hand over the prisoners to
her government. This fact will rebound
to your credit and conduce to the peace
of South Africa and the harmonious CO.
operation of the British and Dutch races,
which is necessary for it's future devel-
opment and prosperity
