Gently refused a $4,000 position as
commissioner of the TRANSPORTATION
bureau at Kansas City, arrived last
night from Denver. Mr.. Tanner is a
good subject to look at for a study, as
there are so few men in the country
at the present time who are refusing
positions that paw $4,000.
Mr. Tanner is only 81 years of age
and is regarded as one of the rising
young freight men of the west. He
began railroading as a Stenographer
for w. F. White, passenger traffic
manager of the Santa Fe, rising to
the position of division superintendent
of the Chicago division and after
ward accepting the Office of assistant
general freight agent of the same road
On June l. 1895. he became general
freight agent of the Midland under
Receiver Restine. The authority that
went with the position offered Mr..
Tanner was enough to tempt anyone
at whom it was thrust but Mr.. Tan
ner has seen greater opportunities
with the Midland and therefore pre-
ferred to remain. AS customary with
railroad officials he does not disclose
the nature of his business in Salt Lake,
but it is said to be in connection with
the probable increase of the Midland
office force at this point.

New York. May 15.-Chicago Gas and
Sugar absorbed over one-third of the
total sales of the short session of the
Stock Exchange today. the dealings be-
ing about equally divided between
them.
Sugar showed weakness on the prob
able effect of pending proceedings
against members of the company for
contempt of the senate. but recovered
the loss. The grangers also were sub
jected to special attack by the bears
on account of the weakness of the
market.
There was a general covering move
ment at the close of the session. which
rallied prices slightly nearly all
through the list from Il to u per cent
Prices generally of securities are quite
substantially lower than they were
week ago. There have not been lack
ing encourage features in the week
trading.
That the balance of international
merchandise credits was materially
affected by the recent heavy import
movement is shown by the April trade
statement. which reports an excess of
imports of merchandise over exports
of s25 12s,134. But this still left for
excess of merchandise exported over
imports of s299.S11. 1894. with net gold
imports for the same period of SOL
COS, Isl.
The enormous import movement
seemed to be in full force still last
week, but this weeks imports of dry
goods and merchandise at New York
showed a total of s12.05S 694. This is
still abnormally large, but is s2.623, 325
less than last weeks total. The Gus
tom room receipts from day to day in
dictate that imports are still further
declining nearer to the normal level
London's very considerable purchases
of securities here during the week have
also exerted a manifest influence on
the exchange situation. There is,
therefore, nothing apparent in the sit
uatiOn to call for further extensive gold
shipments on account of legitimate
trade influences. The market depres-
sion due to gold exports was accentu-
ated by the Cuban scare on Thursday.
AS result the net declines of the Wee,
are very generally throughout the
list
The bond market was quiet during
the week and suffered some sharp de-
clines in the usually dormant bonds.
The undertone of the general market
was fairly good with purchases for
foreign account exerting quite a sus-
tanning influence. The dealings in
cluded a large number of issues, but
the variations in the speculative lines
were trivial.
Bonds were quite largely dealt in
and displayed general firmness with
the new fours gaining slightly.

81, 1896.
Egan in another indictment is
charged on three counts with selling
liquor to Pickett Murdoch. an Indian,

True is supposed to be the lone bandit
who held up the Union Pacific train at
Uintah this state. He was captured
in San Francisco and brought here and
now lies in the county Jail waiting his
trial.
WITNESS CULLEN ARRESTED.
L. F. Cullen, an important witness
for the government and against True
was put under arrest yesterday on the
application of Postoffice Inspector
Waterbury and he now languishes in
the county Jail along with True
Cullen was a pal of True's in San
Francisco, and True it appears made
a confidant of him to some extent and
while True was in his cups he let out
a good deal which can be used TO
convict him of the train robbery The
postoffice authorities got hold of Gull
len and gained from him valuable in
formation and for the past six weeks
they have been keeping him in tow
and treating him like prince. 1t is
now said that Cullen has got it into his
head that his evidence is indispensable
to the governments case and he has
