SLIDE.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-The wheat bulls
began to feel today the effect Of prices
which they permitted last week. The
inspection sheet showed there had been
a rush of grain in this direction from
every quarter, as much probably as
forty-eight hours. A little inquiry
showed that the inspection sheet did
not begin to show all the arrivals. One
elevator concern had eargoes aggregat-
ing 100000 bushels in the river, not
bushel of which had been inspected.
Armour and Weare had cargoes in, and
the car lots showed q jump. The ma
jority of this grain was to fill shorts
made months ago. Some Of 1t had evil
IDENTIFY been brought, however, to get
the benefit Of the Chicago December
price There was scattered December
selling, largely by elevator people,
against new receipts of this sort. Ar
mour was credited with more Of it than
any other interest. The December bulls
themselves sold more or less Decem-
Der in order to hasten its decline. There
was a remarkable drop in price, 71a
cents bushel, and it was accompanied
by no corresponding exciAment and by
no great trade. Decem1 r opened at
s1O5, sold between B1.O5k and
971a cents and closed a 9s1a cents.
The January option was influenced
by the May, as it has been all along,
dropping from So to 9215 cents, and
closing at 1914 cents. The Letter party
did today what their friends thought
they ought to have done last week-let
down December. They did not sell
much because the market would not
take much and because Armour was
selling enough to make the price weak,

the revenue will increase, and it may
produce better results
Mr.. Eckels, who is in the city as the
guest of the Commercial club, delivered
a speech before that body tonight, TAX
ing as his subject "a Great Nations
Weakness" He said In part: 'This
nation stands out from all it's sister
nations as having monetary and finan-
cial laws which invite public disgrace
and private disaster. The govNnment
now presents the rather pitiable spec
tacle Of a boasted great nation resting
its monetary integrity upon the mere
chance Of having man Of sound prin-
ciples and strong sense of right in the
executive chair. If, by the accidency
Of an election, a man Of unsound views
should be placed in office, the whole
financial fabric would go to pieces, and
the country would find itself without
credit at home or standing abroad. The
banks Of the country are strong enough
to undertake the Issue Of all the credit
currency that circulates. If they are
tco weak to support safely guarded
bank note issue based upon assets by
which only the commercial needs of
the country can be responded to, the
government is not less weak. The in
solvency Of the one would mark the
insolvency Of the other for when
point Is reached where the combined
assets Of the countrys banks will not
beaF'the volume Of currency needed to
carry on the country's business, the
government, as well as the individual,
will be hopelessly involved in bank
ruptcy."

ST LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 13.-James H.
Eckels, when asked today If he agreed
with the recommendations as to cur
rency made by President Mckinley in
his recent message to congress, said:
IT think they are very good as far as
they go. He has not gone far enough
in my opinion when he says certain
things ought to be done if possible
Things that ought to be done should
be done, and especially when they SO
vitally touch the country's business
life. The president admits that the

Sherman legal tenders should be taken
up and would, dare say, like to see
it done; but it is a conditional prob

FARGO, N. D., Dec. 13.-One of the
boldest robberies in the history of the
Red river valley occurred at Argus.
Vile tonight. About o'clock two
masked men entered the store Of F. D.
Payne and commanded Mr.. Payne and
c. H. Dill, travelling man, of Fargo
to hold up their hands. Payne took the
matter as q joke at first and laughed
when Dill raised his hands above his
head, but the ominous click of reVoI.
vers and the oaths of the robbers soon
dispelled all doubt. Both men were
searched, and a gold watch and SAC
were taken from Dill. Payne was fore.
ed to give up the key to his cash draw.
er and that to the postofice, both OF
which were rifled. Here the men got
another watch and $1,000. The Payne
store is the third door from the rail-
road. One door south is the general
store of NJ. r. Clancy. The next move
of the men was to march the two vic
tins into the street and to the Clancy
store. At the appearance of the men
CLANCY, too, thought that the whole
thing was q joke. In the store beside
the proprietor was NJ. H. Hudell, a
school tecaher. The four men were plac.
ed in line. A watch and $50 were taken
from Clancy and SIS from the school
teacher. The four men were then faced
to the wall, and with threat of in
slant death were commanded not to
move. The two robbers then disappear
ed in the darkness. The robbers were
in the first store some fifteen minutes
and about the same length of time in
Clancy's. A posse is in pursuit. 1t was
the evident intention of the men to
go through the town, starting at the
depot and going down the whole street,
but as the Great Northern agent was
absent at the time that much of the
plan miscarried.

DISAGREE.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Davis, of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, will
proceed with the fight for Hawaiian
annexation during the coming week.
He is fully aware of the fact that
there is big money-spending lobby
here diligently engaged in efforts to
defeat the annexation treaty. Various
interests have combined some Of them
being pure and upright, and others en-
gagged in corrupt practices. For ex-
ample, 1t Is a matter OF self-interest
which brings the representative OF the
Oxnards, Of Nebraska, to Washington
at this time as an anti-anneXationist
The Oxnards have invested hundreds
of thousand of dollars in the develop
ment of the beet sugar industry. Ha-
waiian annexation would cripple their
business. It is not a corrupt influence,
but an impulse of preservation
which induces the Oxnards to oppose
annexation. An influx of 100000 tons
of Hawaiian sugar annually free Of
duty would seriously affect the sugar
beet business. That is but a sample of
IL.
Louisiana and contiguous sugar-grow-
ing sections. Senator Davis regards
this Hawaiian treaty of annexation
from a broad view Of international law,
and as a matter Of party policy. The
Republican national convention having
declared in favor of protection for Ha
Waii from all the world, he says that
annexation is the best means Of pro-
lection, and should be accomplished,
now that it is feasible.
Senator Nelson is pushing his bank
ruptcy bill. He will probably appear
before the house committee on the tu-
dietary some day during the coming
week to urge the adoption of his bill
as 1t passed the senate He believes
that some bankruptcy bill, If not his
own, will be considered and adopted
by the house Of representatives before
the Christmas holidays.
The caucus Of Democrats which is to
be held in the hall Of the house Of rep
resentatives on Tuesday evening, will
be a lively one. The Democrats have
no well defined policy, and a number
of them declare that they are dissatis-
fed with their leader, Mr.. Bailey,
whom they claim to be too much in
harmony with Tom Reed. There will
be an abortive effort made to dislodge
Mr.. Bailey, and select another for
party leadership. One of Bailey's
active opponents this evening said:
Joe Bailey's strong point is, the fact
that he is always cool. No matter how
trying the conditions and eircnm-

nights Caucus.

stances. Bailey always keeps cool.
We who oppose him realize his strength
in that particular, but we want a lead
e. who will work with Democrats
alcne, and who will not dilly daily with
Tom Reed, nor any other Republican.
Instead of reaching some conclusion as
to party policy, ii seems quite likely
that the Democratic caucus will con-
sumo most Of it's time over Joe Bailey
His leadership will probably be sus-
tanned; but another caucus will be
necessary to determine what the DEM
ocrats shall do with McKinley's pro-
posed policies concerning Cuba, Ha-
waii and the currency 1t will ulti-
mateIy be disclosed that the Democrats
oppose McKinley's Cuban policy, and
will insist uOpn calling up the Cuban
belligerency resolution which has
passed the senate. They will oppose
Hawaiian annexation and will make
a party matter Of that subject. They
are hoping for the introduction of bill
in both branches of congress, provid-
ing for annexation; because the treaty
Is known to be doomed. The Demo-
Gratis are all now welded to the free
silver plank of the Chicago platform,
and they will declare themselves to
that effect in their caucus. There will
be lots of interesting political contro-
versy In Washington, before many
Gays nave passed..
Mr.. Morris today recommended the
establishment of a postoffice in Crow
Wing county, to be called Klondike,
with Louis P Akin as postmaster.
Mr.. Morris also recommended Edgar
White as postmaster at Clear Lake,
and William w. Hutchins, as post
master at Crow Wing.
Smith D. Fry.
Representative Stevens has recommended
the establishment Of postofice at Hew-
sen, Isanti county, MINI.
Senator Nelson today introduced a bill
opening to settlement certain public lands re-
served by presidential proclamation in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. The lands were set aside
for the building OF dams and reservoirs TO aid
navigation at the headwaters OF the Mlssis-
sippi and ST. Crox rivers, and OF the Chip
pewa and Wisconsin rivers. Under Senator
Nelson's bill they are TO be opened for home
stead entry six months after the bill receives
the presidents signature. All such lands,
however, are to be Subject TO government uses
for dams and reservoirs, and no claims for
damages from overflow Of waters are to bo
allowed.
