Judge Gest dissolved the master
in chancery v oodmen ipjunctions 1t
Cambridge this morning BY sustain
ing the motion of the Woodmen to
dissolve each. This removes the I'M
Just means by which the courts Of
Whiteside county have been used to
prevent the carrying out of the oft
expressed will Of the order.
Before the ruling Of the court was
made known, the Fulton obstruc-
tionists this morning went before
Master in Chancery McPharran at
Sterling and attempted their old
trick Of getting out another
injunction before the pending one
was disposed of, but the master re-
fused the application. Doubtless
this action was due to the admoni-
ton given by Judge Gest to the
Whiteside people, when the argu-
ments were made last week, which
was that the courts would not longer
be trified with in the matter of SUI
perfiuous masters injunctions. and
that all subsequent ones would be
considered 40 . part of those CONSOLE
dated and disposed Of. The ruling
Of Judge Gest thus swept away all
that was left the Fultonites as q
means of thwarting the orders pur-
pose to come to Rock Island.
To alsim the Prop rty.
Realizing the damage to The order
that the suspense and delay in this
matter has wrought. the order and
the Rock Island people who have
cooperated with its officers, decided
this afternoon that prompt actior
was necessary, and hence . special
train was arranged for ON the Bur.
lington road, and 1t left for Fulton
with 800 men at o'clock this after.
noon for the purpose Of bringing thu
head Offices to Rock Island tonight
The object of the expedition is not
to sntagonize the Fulton people, bu,
merely to carry out the will of tn,
order. and knowing that the obsta
cles raised against which have beer
removed by the courts. Unless I'M
forseen difficulties are encountered
the Woodmeu Offices will be in Rocl
Island sometime tonight. or by to
morrow morning, at the outside.
The various local industries
showed their patriotism to Rock Isl
and and their Loyalty to the order il
affording every opportunity to theil
men to accompany the train.

Judge Gest has taken is receivet
with happiness on all hands, as i

THREE MEN DROWNED.
Fishermen Lose Their Lives Near
Bonneville.

Bonneville, Or, April 2s.-Three
Finnish fishermen - John Sunquist,
Anton johnson and man named Suyne
were drowned yesterday morning in
the Columbia, in the narrow channel
between the Oregon side and the island
directly above this place. Only the
body of Sunquist has been recovered.
The men had been visiting their nets,
which were set in an eddy, near the
shore, and were tacking back to Bonne-
vile. There is fearful current in the
river in the channel, particularly at
the present stage of water, and naviga-.
tion is alway dangerous. When in one
Of the most hazardous places in the
stream, the wind, which was blowing a
gale, caught the sail and capsized the
boat, dumping the three men into tho
rapid water. They instantly disap-.
peared.
A man named Olin, who was walking
along the track of the o. r. & NJ, witt
messed the accident, and endeayored to
get boat out to the rescue, but was
unable to launch it in the rapid cur
rent Seeing that all efforts to save
tee men would be in vain, he ran down
the track abreast of the boat, which
was drifting swiftly down stream, and
caught it after it had lodged on boom
near the mouth of Tanner creek, below
Bonneville.
A taut rope extended from the boom
into the water, which pulled and
tugged in the current, as if there vas
an anchor attached to it. Pulling it
up. Olin was Mortified to see that it sup
ported the body of a man, and lifted
out Sunquist, dripping and lifeless. S
He Immediately searched about in
hope that the other TWO men had Sc
cured themselves to the boat, but could
find neither of them, and their bodies
have not as yet been recovered.
Sunquist's presence of mind in secur-
ing himself to the boat might have
saved him in easy water, but it availed
only to save his body in the terrible
water below the cascades.

GENERAL GRANTS TOMB.
Was Dedicated With the Most I'm
posing of Ceremonies.

New York, April 29.-Never but
once in the history of the world and
never before in the history of the Unit
ed States has such tribute been paid
to the noble dead as when today, with
wondrous pageant by land and sea, the
nation dedicated the tomb that now
holds the body of Ulysses S. Grant. It
was an occasion more of triumphant
eulogy and national pride than of
funeral rite, for in the twelve years
since first the nation mourned for
Grant, the keenness of the grief had
worn off, and there lives in the hearts
OF men the hero-worship which found
such tumultous vent today. The great
est of our citizens, our soldiers and our
sailors today stood side by side with
men of fame, and almost every nation
of the earth paid, without regard to
race, creed or party prejudice, the last
and long-delayed honor of the living to
the dead, while the greatest throng that
ever filled the city of New York added
it's surging peans to the loud belching
of guns and the tramp of marching SOL
diers. And in that throng there was
no North and no South, for since the
soldier-president had said, "Let us
have peace" the gray had blended with
the blue.
Before the presidential party left the
city to take part in the dedication cere-
monies, the fag-decked streets were
black with people, who cheered vocifer-
ously as the great men drove by. When
the tomb was reached, strange sight
met the eye. All around the oval. in
the center of which stood the monu-
ment to Grant, We're what seemed to
be black hillocks. This somber back
ground was formed by thousands of
spectators, who filled the stands built
up from the ground on both sides of the
tomb to the level of the steps that led
to it's massive DOORS To the south,
where the loop around the oval met
the riverside drive there were two solid
lines of humanity. On all four sides
of the monument oval stands were
packed to overf1owing, while facing
these crowds was the great mass of
eager sightseers who had not been Off
cially provided for.
The solemn services of dedication
seemed to throw strange hush over
this vast throng. The president stood
bareheaded in the wind. When he
spoke he was heard distinctly by the
$4,000 people who stood directly in
front of him. %
General Porter's oration in honor of
the hero seemed to impress the crowds
less than the sight of the pale-faced,
bareheaded president beside the widow
of the dead general, ex-President Cleve-
land and the gray-haired statesmen and
soldiers. 1t was their presence rather
than their words that lent solemnity to
the occasion, and when it was all over,
and Mayor Strong had formally received
from the nation the trust of the tomb,
and the president and party disappeared
in thes luneheea tent, a SIGH Of relief
went dp from the crowd, for at last the
hero laid in the tomb beftting such re-
nown and fittingly dedicated by grate-
full nation.

The Importers Little Game.

When the importers allow the bill
10 pass some months hence several
hundred million dollars worth of goods
will have been brought in by them.
That will swell the revenues this
spring and summer, but they will be
lean for two years or more to come.
Then, next, there will be lack Of
revenue. The consumers will begin
to ask why that is the case when they
are paying more for goods. The disap-
pointed people will put this question to
the politicians, and they will be unable
to answer it satisfactorily.
The men in the factories and mills
will ask how it is that under law de-
signed to give them more protection
there is less demand for their services.
The politicians can explain to them
that such vast stocks of goods were
brought in prior to the enactment of
the tariff law that the market is over
supplied and there is no demand for
American products. But will that ex-
planation be satisfactory?
If the people are not satisfied then
1898 may be repetition of 1890, and
1900 may be repetition Of 1892

Plan of fCampaign-Detai1s of Retreat.
Athens, April 27.-Larissa has been
completely evacuated by the Greeks,
who spiked their guns and carried away
all the movable cannon and munitions
of war.
.AH telegraphic communication with
Larissa is interrupted, but it is under
stood that the retreat OF the Greek army
was conducted with the best of order.
The excitement and disquiet at Athens
because of the sudden abandonment of
Larissa continues, but the tranquility
of the city is unhroken.
The foreign warships have been sig
nailed off Phalerum. A special dis
patch received from the frontier asserts
that the Turks, while attacking Matt,
were repulsed several times yesterday.
At 6 O'Clock in the evening, the Greek
forces were obliged to give way. The
Greeks retreated in good order on Ka-
racles, where they are intrenched.
The wounded remain at Larissa un-
der protection of the Red Cross flag.
The evening papers counseled the
people of Athens to receive the bad
news with patience and sang froid, con-

GREECE UPSET.
The Country Is the Verge of a
Revolution.


Revolution.
Athens, April 29.-Popular feeling
points to a revolution in favor of re-
public. The citizens are greatly excit-
ed at the revelations made by ex-Min
lister Ralli, as to the conduct of the cam
paign. Today, large meetings have
been held in Constitution square and
other places, and fiery harrangues have
been delivered by well-known orators
in denunciation of "those who would
betray Greece"
The fall of the ministry is regarded
as certain.
This afternoon 500 men formed them
selves into a volunteer body, forced
their way into the gunsmiths' shops,
armed themselves with rifles and re-
volvers, and paraded the streets in front
of M. Ralli's residence. Several depu-
ties addressed them, exhortipg them to
remain calm and await the progress of
events. Finally they proceeded to the
royal palace, where, after making a
demonstration, they dispersed without
further disorder. This incident has
made great sensation.
The legislative assembly, in the
absence of "a quorum, suspended the
extraordinary session until tomorrow
morning. A majority of the deputies
have signed the manifesto exhorting
the people to be calm.
M. Ralli and the opposition leaders
had conference at the palace with the
king this afternoon. After the con-
ference, representative of the press
had an interview with NJ. Staloudis,
one of the opposition leaders. He said
the leaders of the opposition had i'm
pressed the king with the fact that it
was his first duty to organize the Greek
forces. To this, the king had assented.
The leaders also pointed out that new
ministry must be product of a vote
taken in the legislative assembly.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.

The past week has been very active
one in the wheat market, prices adj
vancing materially and substantially.
Liquidation by the long interest has
ceased and the speculative short sellers
have been liberal buyers to cover pre-
vious sales. The principal causes for
this reversal have been the renewed ex-
port demand and the unprecedented
large sales of flour, mostly for home
consumption. In addition, crop pros
poets in American are much less favor
able. The winter wheat crop now
promises no important increase COM
pared with that of last year. The ex-
cessive moisture has generally retarded
the seeding offspring wheat, particular
ly in the Northwest, where severe
floods in the Red river and Jim river
valleys promise to seriously delay
spring seeding, and is certain to pre-
vent any large increase in acreage sown
as compared with last year.
Hot winds in California have caused
extensive damage and advanced prices
in San Francisco markets equal to 12c
per bushel
The total crop yield now promises not
to be sufficiently larger than that of
last year to meet the increasing demand
for American breadstuffs by importing
countries. In this connection it should
be remembered that since the war with
China, Japan has subsidized her mer-
chant marine with the war indemnity.
The consequent reduction in ocean
freight rates has led to large sales of
wheat and -four to Japan and China,
amounting to 20, 900, 900 bushels during
the present crop year. The opening
up of this new market for our wheat is
certain to have stimulating effect on
values. Nothing but the lack of specu-
lation prevents an advance in prices.
The export demand, if continued, with
our present small stocks, may lead to
increased speculative activity and fur
nish the market with that support the
lack of which caused the recent de.
cline

st. Louis, April 29.-Points on the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers above
here report serious condition OF
affairs, the water having risen to the
danger height. Thousands of acres of
farm land on both the Illinois sides of
the Mississippi have been inundated,
and considerable stock has been
drowned and crops destroyed. Accord

THE DINGLEY TARIFF
FEW CRITICISMS AND THOSE
EASILY ANSWERED.

Current Comment Upon the Bill as 1t
Was Passed by the Lower House
Opinions of Able Writers.
It will only be another evidence Of
The capacity of the Democrats to blum
der if at this time they make any fac
tious attempt to delay the prompt pas
sage of the bill. If the new tariff can
be put into effect by the first Of May
instead of the first of July it will save
to the treasury $15 900, 900 revenue. If
the delay takes place, that sum, and
perhaps even a larger one, will be
turned into the pockets of speculators,
who will hasten to import foreign goods
before the new tariff can be enforced.
The element of time is therefore an inn
porant one in the problem, and the Re-
publicans of the house have good rea-
son to push the measure forward as
rapidly as possible and to allow no con-
cession whatever to obstructive tactics.

Shcddy Shut Out.

One of the most pleasantly remem-
bered fruits of the Mckinley tariff,
while it lasted, was the practical exclu-
sion of foreign shoddy cloths by prohib-
tive duties. The repeal of those duties
by the Wilson German act let in upon
the country a flood of shoddy importa-
tions, by means of which our people
have been swindled as never before.
The Dingley tariff goes even further
tina did the Mckinley bill in the effort
to shut out shoddy and give our people
honest clothing once more. 1t levies
duties on shoddy cloths ranging from
100 to IT'S per cent. These duties will
make the importation Improbable, in
asmuch as it will be cheaper to buy
homemade fabrics really made of wool
and lasting several times as long.
American woolen manufacturers resort
ed to the use of shoddy with reluct-
ance. and with protection for honest
weaves such use will very likely be
abandoned Press.
