The Baltimore American has an ex.
ceedingly interesting and we'll Informed
article upon the situation in Servia
TALLY says that the offer of Russia to
provide arms for the Seryian army ought
to open the eyes of the Austrian govern
nent. 1t is very tempting offer TO the
little kingdom. Servia is said to be hes
itating because the guns are not of the
newest pattern. This calls to mind the
beggar who refused a bushel of corn be-
cause it had not been ground. Servia's
real reason was, probably, desire to
learn what Austria would have to say
to such proposal. 1t is not the first
effort of Russia TO brihe the Balkan
states. The ragged legions of Montene-
gro are armed with guns presented by
Russia, and what little the royal family
has at Its disposal most likely comes from
Russia. There was a time when the
army of Bulgaria was ficered by Rus
sians and the principally was practically
a Russian province. Stsmbouloff changed
all this. Russia's action is evidently
inspired by the recent conference between
Servia and Bulgaria for concerted action
against Turkey. 1t would violently in
terfere with Russia's plan for the two
armies to pounce on Turkey at the mo
NEXT that Greece strikes on the Mace
DOMAIN border. The three little nations
together might be more than match
for the Sultan's desiccated regiments.
But what will Austria have to soy to
this offer to arm the forces of her south
ern neigh bors? This move of Russia is
distinctly unfavorable to Austria, who
would be best served by compact union
of the Balkan states, something that
has been frequently dreamed of but
which has thus far proved abortiye be-
cause of the turbulence aud iealousies of
these states. This act of Russia is
covert attempt to ALLEVIATE Servia and
prevent such a combination in case of
war with Turkey.

Bryan to be Nominated Without a OOnven-
tion.

Chicago, November 27.--The Posts
Washington special says: From mem
bers OF the Democratic National commit
tee who are now in the city, 1t Is learned
that plan Is on foot to inaugUrate a
new departure next time In the methods
OF nominating a candidate for the pres
i0ency The scheme Is briefly this:
"The Democratic State conventions
will be held as usual in 1900 for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the ma
tional convention and doing the usual
part toward keeping up the machinery
OF the party. The convention will order
the delegates to meet at once and In
struct the national committee to readopt
the Chicago platform in its entirety and
without changing 1t In the minutest par
ticular. The delegates will further be
instructed TO direct the national commit
tee to cast the votes Of the State delega-
tions for Mr.. Bryan and TO authorize
that gentleman to name his own rum
ming mate Unanimous consent to this
scheme Is not expected, but an over
whelming majority is anticipated, and
the result will be that there will be no
national Democratic convention.
"This proceeding is yet three years
distant, and many things may happen
In three years, but there Is no question
about the intention OF the Bryanites TO
force the denomination of the NebraSkan
in the manner that has been outlined
above"

with attempting to bribe juror. Clar-
encc M. Boyd, butcher, had been drawn
as a juror in the case. He says that
Latshaw came TO him and offered $75.
II he would qualify and hang the jury
The proposition was to place the money
III the hands Of Boyd's employer until
the case was tried Boyd refused TO-.
serve as juror stating that he had
read all about the case and had formed
an opinion. Hung juries have become
so common in Kansas City that 1t will
not be much OF surprise to know that
in at least one case bribing was at

THE GROWING WINTER WHEAT.

The probable acreage of winter wheat
sown the present autumn is about 9,S45,-
600 acres, or an increase over the pre-
vious year of 16 per cent. An increase
is reported from every county. In spite
of an unusually dry fall In much Of the
State large proportion Of the wheat,
even in those parts, has terminated, is
growing, and promises we'll. The price
Of wheat for the year averages for the
State rs cents per bushel.
CORN.
The prices at which the corn crop is
being contracted to feeders and others
in the cattle-fattening and corn-raising
counties averages % cents; SO per cent.
of the crop is likely to be sold at these
prices before January.
An estimate of the cattle to be grain
fattened shows practically the same as
one year ago, with big increases in the
heavy-yielding corn counties.

Bull Market Starts Again
Today.
Higher Prices Anticipated For
Next Week.
Lower Quotations Prevail In the
Wheat Marker.

Those who have been insisting that the bull
market was over and tat II was no time for
a reaction were treated 60 genuine surprise
his mo ming. for at the opening everything
started mp and higher prices were the rtle
during the entire session. WHAT was more sat-
isfactory. however, was that the advances
were not measured by actions. but that, in
stead, several OF the issues advanced points
The opinion in Wall street, therefore. was
brighter thaD.It has been in days. and the
purchasing power that was displayed even at
the hi hest prices seemed TO promise that the
next week will record some important bull
movements
Holmes 6 Co. sum Up the situation today
~ is proper TO bear in mind that this mar
kct is not being advanced on the short inter
est or on the manipulation, but on actual
conditions> and prices will b' mcrited by the
enorn o1s earnings that the railroads will
show from week to week. The basis of spec
ulltion has changed and although prices now
look high as compared with those we have
be n accustomed TO for some FIVE years past,
they will seem low when they come to be con-
trasted with the quotations that will be
reached in about three months"
As is seems 10 be the expression of opin.
ION Oh hfhhJoTlly Vi lHc ptHA Juhkts
il cannot be regarded as strange that prices
continue TO break records, rs they did today,
ana that plenty Of good buyers are to be
found even at the high prices.
The bank statement today was Reserves,
decrease, s285 $50; loans. increase. 81. 256, 200;
specie decrease, sS77, 800; legal tenders, in
crease, 1891, iO); deposits, increase, $685., 600
circulation. increase, sl66, 200.
The wheat market was active TODAY, br {
lower prices rangei. This was particularly
evident in the December option which sold
at considerably lower prices than any that
have been seen since the last big bulge. Cor n
was also lower and less active, and p'ovis-
ions, while somewhat neglecio', We're strong.
The general opinion Is that while the Chicago
market may be n sale on turn, the best
profits will be found in buying these stocks
at the cesSions.

AT THE ACADEMY TONIGHT.

We often hear the remark that farce
comedy Is on the wane. Nothing can be
further from the truth. 1t is true sew
eral farce comedy stars aud double stars
have had to discontinue stellar work and
travel on salary, but the cause il easily
ascertained, in that the great ma jol ity uf
the farce comedy talent is not versatile
Many are capable of doing some certain
things cleverly, but their capabilities are
confined to those few things only In
most cases it is individuality that makes
the public take kindly to them. and they
not only gain lleeting prestige but
make money rapidly. But when year
after year they come around doing idep
tically the same thing and in great
many instances with no perceptible i'm
provement, the public tires of them, and
soon they wake to the fact that they have
no following, and either stick to their
old routine through mistaken ideas until
they are classified as transformers ard
are financially ruined. or quit in time TO
profitably Join with some one of the big
New York productions. Realizing this
fact at the beginning of their career. Muir
ray & Mack, undoubtedly the most sue
cessful. farce com ,dy stars Ion the road,
made fort and practice of changing their
specialties. So each season they add
new specialties and discard old ones.
They also make it rule not to play one
piece to its utter extinction in public
favor. and in line with this policy this
season they have brought with them for
representation at the Academy to- night
II brand new play from the pen of George
II. limerick, entitled, "Finnigan's Court
ship" Mr. limerick is the author of two
of their former successes and thorouL hly
underst ands how to fit theuI. Murray &
Mack are this season duplicating their
former successes and have by all odds the
most pretentious company they have ever
carried
