Bears Took Possession Of
the Market Today.
PRICES DRIVEN DOWN.
Timid Longs Were Afraid to Hold
Stocks Over Sunday.
WAS NO MARKET AT CHICAGO.

Although Saturday is a short day, ths de-
clines that were recorded this morning were
not Of a slight character. London came high
er just before the opening of our market,
and as the result of the foreign demand there
was quito an exhibition OF buying orders
uring the first few minutes OF the session.
The bears rallied, however. and soon put a
stop to the advance, and from l0:l5 TO the
closing Of the market nc noon there was
period o: constantly lower prices.
The object of this IL is difficult TO under
stand. There has boen no information OF a
sufficiently discouraging character 70 cause
such a series Of reactions, and the only rea-
son given Is that there were n large number
OF timid long holders who were afraid 10 re-
tain possession OF their stock over Sunday.
All the adyices are still bullish, however,
and there was quite a demand for the various
securities at their lower prices, the orders
coming from the commission houses and other
good quarters. This demand was not suffi'
cient however, to stop the progress of the
bears, and they beat down prices just as IL
there was no bottom TO anything.
In spite of al this there is a general opin-
ion that next week will see change I'm con.
ditions and that the bulls will once more take
hold Of stocks ana send them up the plane.
II 1t ID possible for the bullish msnipulators
90 get control OF the market again, there is
'eason to believe that the market will be car
fied higher than IL has been since the Last
pullish movement was inaugurated.
The bank statement issued today was: Re

was no grain arket, but "a dispatch from

One Sounds Ikea Stiff UNFOLDING
of Civil Service.
AS TO IT'S APPLICATION
THERE'S WHERE THE RUB
COMES FOR M'KINLEY.
In the Judgment of the Members Tt
Would Be Quite Proper to Modify
Cleveland's Order = No Definite
Policy outlined-No Uniform Elk
preston.

Washington, Dec. 21-Today's cabi-
ly to discussion of the operation of
the civil service. The resolution adopt
ed by the senate last Friday, calling on
the executive heads of the several de-
partments of the government for infor-
nation concerning the application of
the civil service to their departments,
and for an expression of their opinions
as to what, if any, notifications ought
to be made in it, was subjected directly
under discussion.
All the members of the cabinet were
present except Secretary Alger, and
there was no dissent from the opinion
that the civil service law should and
would be upheld. The principle of the
system, in the opinion of all, must be
maintained, but there was some differ
ence of opinion as to the extent of it's
application. In connection with the
senate resolution it was pointed out
that in some of the departments not
ably those of the state and navy COM
paratively few changes could be made
that would be an Improvement upon
present conditions. In some other de-
partments exception to the operation
of the law, in the opinion of the cabi-
net members, ought to be made. Some
positions, they reported, would be in
cluded in the blank order of President
Cleveland that might or might not have
been included. Such cases are isolated
here and there in several departments.
In the judgment of the heads of the
departments it would be quite proper
for the president to modify Mr.. Cleve-
lands order While the system was
pretty thoroughly discussed it can be
said, upon the authority of three mem
bers of the cabinet, that no definite pol
icy was outlined, beyond determina-
ton to maintain the principle of the
civil service.
No effort was made today to adopt a
reply to the senate that would embody
uniform expressions of opinion 1t is
likely that each member of the cabinet
will prepare his reply in his own way,
embodying such suggestions as he may
deem proper, the replies to be well
within definite scheme to be outlined
later

France since the ambassador left, but
the action in the chamber OF deputies
yesterday, when the raise of duties on
certain meat products was put through
by the premier, M. Meline, leads to the
conclusion that the French policy viii
not be toward abohshing the restric-
lions, but toward increasing their
stringency.
The figures of the foreign bureau of
the agricultural department show that
the American shipments to France on
the one article of lard reached 81, 073, 342
pounds last year.
It is not thought that the bill was
expressly aimed against the United
States, as it covers some products
which are not shipped from this coun-
try to France. In the particulars men
toned, however. its effects will be to
further restrict the American meat
trade In view of this action, little
hope is entertained that France viii
grant the condition on which recip-
rocity agreement between the two
countries depends. 1t was announced
from the chamber of deputies in be-
half of the government that a supple
mentary bill would be presented to re-
strict the Introduction of adulterated
hog products. 1t is the understanding
here that this will operate particular
ly against such lards going from this
country as contain cotton seed oil.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
Cities and Towns In the Territory
Without Courts or Law.

Washington, Dec. 21.-In his state
ment to the Indian committee of con-
gress, ex-senator Dawes, of the COM
mission to negotiate with the Five
Tribes, saws:
I'VE cannot do anything for the
Chickasaws. But such legislation may
be agreed upon this winter as may
make this people see that it is better
to sit down with some of the commits
sioners and arbitrate. There is a more
serious question vet, and that IS they
have invited 100000 or more white
people there who are residents and
not intruders. Never was a territory
organized in the United States which
had half as many white people as there
is in Indian Territory, and congress
could never turn its face away from
an applicant for recognition which con-
tanned 900 whites In the territory
there are over 100000 white people.
with cities and towns, without MAYOR,
without constables, without courts, and
without law. Therefore, I believe this
is a question which must come UP be-
fore congress this winter. l hope. 1t
would not be wise to wait until there
is another outbreak between the In
dams and these people who must be

EVEN UP WITH RED SHYLOCKS
HOW TT rs DONE IN THE INDIAN
TERRITORY.
Indian Debtors Burn Up the Court
House at Ardmore With ALI the
Records-Indian Conspiracies.

Chicago, Dec. PA special to the
Times Herald from Wichita, Kan,
says:
Information has been received at the
office of the United States marshal at
South McAlister, l. t., to the effect
that the lawless sentiment among the
Indians has formed a conspiracy to
burn up the United States court house
there and all other United States court
buildings in the Indian Territory. The
burning of the United States court
house at Ardmore the other day, with
all it's records, is believed to be the
first attempt to carry out the plot. The
Indians are said to be growing more
FESTIVE as the 1st of January ap-
proaches as upon that day all of their
tribal courts are abolished and the
federal courts have full jurisdiction in
litigation affecting the Indians.
Under the Indian law one Indian fan
not sue another for debt of any nature
There are vast numbers of notes held
by Indians against their less providenG
brethren now uncollectible, which can
be sued on and collected as soon as the
Indians come in under the federal law
1t will ruin many thousands of Indians
who have heretofore been considered
wealthy, and it is the discomfort of the
debtor class that is thought to be re-
sponsible for the plot to burn the court
records and impede, so far as possible,
the administration of justice in the
United States courts Detectives are
watching the movements of the sus-
Dected Indians.

GERMS OF TROUBLE.
Investigating the Killing of Ameri-
can Sailors In Japan.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The depart
ment of state has undertaken an in
vestigation of two very disagreeable
incidents that may contain in them
selves the germs of very serious trouble
in the near future. These are the kill
ing by japanese of two sailors al
tached to the United States fleet on
the Asiatic station. The exact condi-
tons under which the killing occurred
are not known here yet, and the state
department is trying to learn through
the United States minister to Toxic
and the United States consuls in Japan,
preliminary to determining what steps
shall be taken to secure reparation, if
it shall be found that the killing was,
as is expected unjustifable. The first
killing was of a sailor named Mont
gomery formerly attached to the York
town while she was on the Asiatic sta
ton, and the last was that of Frank
Epps, a sailor, native of New York and
an apprentice on the flagship Olympia.
He was killed at Nagasaki. The Of
ficials here have been advised of the
bare facts only. but, following so close
ly on the terrible assault at Kobe last
September of a Japanese mob upon the
sailors of the Yorktown these killings
have aroused them to a determination
to secure protection for our sailors in
Japanese ports.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery were
genuine cases of that dread and fatal
disease? You need not take our word
for it. They have, in nearly every in

and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial OF Golden Medical Discovery,
but who have been forced to confess
that it surpasses, in curative power
over this fatal malady, all other med

Nasty cod liver oil had been tried in
nearly all these cases, and had either
utterly failed to benefit, or had only
seemed to benefit q little for short

Actions of the Bull Clique In the
Pit Yesterday.
Chicago, Dec. 21.-May wheat opened
easy and about l5c lower than it closed
yesterday. at 931sG9S5s. Liverpool was only
1sd higher at the opening here. Chicago
receipts were very heavy, amounting to
$40 cars. of which number $40 were of con-
tract quality. Minneapolis receipts were
only 172 cars. and Duluth reported lis
carloads there, as compared with total
of $50 last week. This turned the gen
eral feeling toward the bull side again,
to considerable strength. This was fol-
lowed by a reaction, and later the mar
ket turned strong again. This see-saWlng
was kept up all morning.
The first advance was led by the DUH
clique and on several subsequent occaS-
ions. when the market appeared to re-
quire help, the same party was created
with being its rescurers- There is

OUR WOODEN HULLs.
Need of Modern Vessels In the Rev
euue Service.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Chief Shoe
maker, chief of the revenue cutter
service, in his annual report says that
of the 81 vessels in the service two
years ago, there were 10 old wooden
hulls, Ii iron, three of steel and one of
iron, wooden sheathing.
1t is asserted that no class of sea-
men have been compelled to go to sea
since the general introduction of steam
motive power for marine purposes in
such a type of, water craft as, for the
most part, comprise the list given. AS
conditions now obtain (and must con-
tinue until the old vessels are replaced
with better) when one of them is or
dered upon a cruise of six weeks or two
months duration it becomes necessary
to load it far beyond the danger limit,
so that when it puts to sea the decks
are fairly awash.
Within the last three years congress
has authorized the building of seven
new vessels, four of which already
have been completed and are in all
particulars swift modern vessels and in
every way suited to the service
Authority is asked for the construc-
ton of five cruisers to take the place
of some of the old wooden vessels now
almost past repairing.

FLOATING DOCKS.
Naval Committee Inclined to Favor
Steel Structures.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Hale,
chairman of the senate committee on
naval affairs, was in conference today
with Secretary Long, with reference to
the proposed legislation for increasing
the docking facilities of the country.
The conference related especially to
the advisability of substituting float
ing for fixed docks at some points
where docks are contemplated The
estimates of the navy department so
far as made are favorable to the steel
structures on the point of economy
but all the figures have not been COM
pleted. Senator Hale thinks that the
continuing contract system will be
adopted in preparing for the work, so
that the immediate appropriation re-
quired will not be comparatively large.
