TO BUY TWO ISLANDS.
NEW ANNEXATION SCHEME OF
SENATOR LODGE.
The MASSACHUSETTS, Senator Will Push
His Plan to Purchase St. Thomas and
st. Croix Is1ands-San Houston's SON
Lightly Punished.
West India Islands Wanted.

Immediately upon the reassembling of
Congress Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts
will make vigorous effort to secure early
action upon his scheme to obtain legisla-
tive authority for the purchase of the isl
ands Of st. Thomas and St. Croix, which
are in the West Indies group and belong
to Denmark. A year ago the Senate pass
ed a resolution requesting the State be
partment to ascertain whether the ISL
ands are in the market, at what figure
they were held, and whether any other
country was after them. The reply has
not been made public in it's entirety, but
it is known that the Danish Government
intimated that the islands were for sale
and that there had been preliminary nego-
tiations to that end with two European
Governments. These are supposed to be
Great Britain and Germany. The figure
asked for the two islands by Denmark
has not been made public. The text OF
the reply has been transmitted by the
State Department to the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, but for diplo-
matte reasons it has been held for the
present as confidential. Senator$ Lodge
is sanguine of securing an appropriation
that will enable the islands to be trans
ferred to the jurisdiction of the Stars and
Stripes

Latest Cattle Census.

The latest cattle census showed that the
bovine population of the country had I'M
dergone a shrinkage of nearly 100000
head. 1t is also well known that heavy
percentage Of that shrinkage has taken
place in the so-called corn belt States,
which is better understood as Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. The
prime cause Of the shrinkage in beef cat
tie was the very low figures for the same
beginning two years ago, and only ending
about the middle of this year. Then farm
ers and feeders began to skirmish for
young cattle to feed; to find something to
consume the big corn crops Of the past
two years. Every inch of territory in this
country and Canada was searched for the
young steers ready to go on grass ana
corn afterwards; prices were run up 10
the highest range known in the trade, ana
yet the farmers wanted more. The ranch-
men saw here their way to get out OF the
misfortune they had met on account OF
destructive winter and Disappointing
spring season; their cattle coming ID IN
an emaciated condition to meet scant
and wasted pasturage; the season for
feeding going out rapidly, so that they
were unfit to send to market for beeves.
Especially were these the conditions IN
the British Northwest, Montana and
North Dakota However, by selling their
thin cattle to Kansas and Nebraska, also
to the feeders at the big distilleries OF
Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky, realizing
steady demand ut prices that seemed
low, but at the same time doing better
than if they had undertaken to crowd
them on the barket as beeves.

GETS A SMALL FINE.
Slayer Of Judge Jennings Escapes with
Light Punishment.

Judge Jennings Of Woodward, 0. t.,
was shot and killed nearly year ago by
Senator Temple Houston, the son Of Gen.
Sam Houston, first president of the re-
public of Texas, at Wichita, Kan. Hous-
ton entered plea of guilty to an offense
less than murder, and was sentenced to
pay a fine of $500 and the costs Of the
prosecution. Houston first killed Ed Jen-
nings in a saloon fight in Woodward near
ly two years ago. Ed was a son Of Judge
Jennings, the first Of the family to fall
in front of Houston's gun, and the faith
ers death was the result Of the feud then
declared. John, another brother, was
wounded in the fight, and he and AL Jen-
nings-the West Point graduate and lat
est train robber who distinguished him
self by the recent daylight hold-up-are
left as avengers upon the trail Of Hous-
ton. Houston is lawyer of reputation
and headed Oklahoma's silver forces in
the Chicago convention.

BIG HOLIDAY TRADE.
PRICE CHANGES ARE IN UPWARD
DIRECTION.
Pronounced and Notable Activity in
Retail Trade Is Reported by Brad
street's-RussiaP Plans a Great Canal
The State of Business.

= Bradstreet's commercial report says:
"Quietness in wholesale lines, but pro-
nounced and notable activity in retail
trade have been the salient features in
this week trade situation. Price changes,
which are numerous, are largely in an up
ward direction, and the year draws to
close with results as a whole fully equal
ing and in many instances surprising
early expectations. Perhaps the most no.
table feature has been the unanimity with
which the trade reports from all parts of
the country, with some few exceptions,
point to very heavy holiday trade, in
nearly all cases comparing favorably with
recent preceding years. Reports are that
stocks of these goods have been heavily
reduced. Particularly prominent in re-
porting a good retail trade in the West
are Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas City.
In the Northwest colder weather has inn
proved the demand for seasonable goods,
and this, combined with the usual holt
day business, has resulted in good total
trade, with specially good reports from
Milwaukee, st. Paul and Omaha. Proof
that the unsettled condition of the wheat
situation affects the export business IN
that cereal is furnished by the figures of
shipments from both coasts of the United
States and Canada. The total exports
reported to Bradstreet's aggregate flour
included as wheat) 4,757, $50 bushels, as
against 4,6O4,OOO bushels last week and
6,266000 bushels two weeks ago. They
also compare with exports of 2,l11,OOO
bushels in this week last year, 3,47o,OOO
bushels in 1895 and 1,S14,OOO bushels in
1894. Indian corn exports for the week
are 4,S79,O11 bushels, against 4,129,S7S
bushels last week, 2,46s,0OO bushels this
week a year ago and 1885, 900 bushels in
1895. Commercial failures in the United
States remain about normal. The total
for this week amounts to 2SO, as COM
pared with 2S3 in the previous week, but
is smaller than the total in 1895, when 3l6
were reported.

RUSSIA'S LATEST SCHEME.
To Conrec the Baltic and Black Seas
by Canal.

The Russian Government will begin
next spring upon stupendous piece Of
engineering work. The project contem-
plates the construction of canal con-
meeting the Baltic and Black seas, which
can be traversed by battle ships of the
heaviest tonnage at six knots per hour.
BY means of this canal Russia will be
able to mobilize a huge fleet in the Baltic
in 1877 hours by bringing to that sea the
Black Sea squadron, or can collect in the
Black Sea in the same time the Baltic
and Black Sea fleets. In case of gen
eral European war over the division of
China at the time of the completion OF
the canal it would not be a difficult matter
for Russia to send her fleet through the
Bosporus, the Sea of Marmora and the
Dardanelles into the Mediterranean, down
the Suez canal, across the Indian ocean
to China, while she could utilize the trans
Siberian Railroad to transport troops.

,Fr;sco Looks for Another War.


In mercantile circles of San Francisco
much attention is paid to news from the
orient. The intelligence that Russian
fleet has occupied Port Arthur, following
closely on the news that Russia had OBJ
tanned firm grip on Korea, leads to the
belief that active hostilities between the
mikado and the czar cannot long be de-
ferred. It is regarded as significant that
agents of the Russian empire have recent
ly made extensive purchases of army sup
plies in the United States for the garrison
at Vladivostok. A few days ago cable
messages from Vladivostok, via ST. Pe-
tersburg, were received in San Francisco,
inviting several firms to bid on an I'M
mense quantity of provisions. The mer-
chants anticipate a great demand for
supplies to maintain the fleets and armies
now assembling in the orient.

FATALITY IN A WRECK.

Collision at Chattanooga Results in
Deaths and Injury.
A vestibule passenger train on the Nor
folk and Western Railroad, came in col
lision with a freight ut Clarks Summit,
Tenn. The engines of both trains were
badly wrecked, as were a number Of
freight cars and the baggage and postal
cars of the passenger train. Postal Clerk
Hoffman was instantly killed, his body be-
ing ground to pieces and thrown under the
second coach. Fireman Coils had both
legs cut off, and was otherwise horribly
cut and bruised. The wreck was occa-
stoned by the engineer of the freight train
mistaking his orders. None of the pas
sengers was hurt
