Senator Sherman having been aP-
pointed to the Cabinet, caused the
promotion of Hon. Cushman K.
Davis, of Minnesota, to the chair
manship of the committee on for
eign relations.
Mr.. Davis is another Western
raised man having lived in Mime
sofa since childhood, where his
father went at an early day as one
of the pioneers. Mr.. Davis is SO
years old, man of splendid health,
fine intellect, judicious and safe
legislator, and one whose every i'm
pulse is enlisted In the well being of
his country.
Being Intercepted relative to
Hawaii, he expressed himself as In
favor of annexation under certain
restrictions, and believed that that
will be the policy of the present ad-
ministration. He is very much
pleased with Mr.. Mcklnley's adj
ministration so far, and expresses
the belief that good times will
come, and come very rapidly.
In answering the question whether
he believed we had sufficient volume
of currency, he replied, that we had
more money now per capita than
we had from 1881 to 1886, vet the
country never knew so prosper us
an era as that. Mr.. Davis believes
that now the Republicans are In
control, that it will give confidence
to capital, and that the dollars in
stead of being lazy dollars, locked
up in the vaults, will be active,
eager dollars In the avenues of trade
and commerce, which will mean
general prosperity to all.

Prince & Whitely's dispatches yester-
day were of a very encouraging tenor
indicating that it was Wall streets
prevailing idea that the stock market
prices would eventually work to high
err plane, especially for the gilt edge
and sound stocks. Canada Southern
was among those of which good things
We're predicted. AS to wheat the firms
dispatches led them to take a bearish
view.
Kimberly, Root & Days dispatches
bespoke the bullish feeling still strong
in Wall street and thought there had
been large reali2ations from traders
who had bought early the offerings
were being absorbed The firm receiv-
ed dispatches this week predicting good
things for United States Rubber stock,
saying the property being free from
mortgage debt was very valuable
one, a splendid plant and that the
stock ought to be a fine purchase at
present prices.
Cuthbert s, Co. says: "By compar-
ing to-night's prices with the quota
tons current fortnight ago they look
high in many instances, and in view of
the many false starts that have been
made In the past, many will doubtless
be led to realize their profits. This Is
always a wise policy to pursue, but at
the same time we believe the market Is
destined to sell much higher in the end.
1T will, no doubt, experience occasional
sharp reactions, owing to the shifting
of the "long" interest and profit taking
sales, but, barring accidents at Wash
ington or some unforeseen developments
in the European political situation, we
believe the tendency will be toward a
gradually improving market.
"The wheat market continues in a
very feveriHh and irregular and uncer-
tain condition, owing to the conflicting
influences in the general situation"

Gordy was hanged at 1925 o'clock this
morning for the murder OF his wife.
He protested his innocence to the last.
The murderer had prepared a ram

scaffold, impugning the evidence of
those VIII testified against him. A por-
ton of the statement is as follows:

OF all the plays that Playwright
Charles II. Hoyt has turned out in the
past, from all reports it appears that
none has ever appealed so strongly to
the masses as his "a Stranger in
New York" 1t was first produced at
Buffalo last February and it is claim
ed to have broken all records. There
is an old saying that if you offer per-
son what he wants there will be no
trouble in finding a ready market. "a
Stranger in New York" seems to be
just what the people want, hence that
is why the capacity of the theaters is
tested everywhere.
"a Stranger in New York. comes to
the Hyperion theater next Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Hoyt and his various
comedies are well liked in this city.
and the coming of his latest work has
created more than ordinary attention.
Sale Of seats opens Monday at the box
office of the Hyperion theater.

POLICE NOTES.

1t was rumored about In police cir
Giles that an unknown man to the bust
ness men of the community was selling
locks, hinges and knobs. After failing
to find a market in several places he
approached Grand avenue pawnshop,
where he thought he would sell with
out any trouble. The man in charge of
the store said the boss was not in and
told him to call again.
Detective Henry Donnelly was put
upon the case. Learning of the down
town pawnshop, he went there to seek
information. He was met by the young
clerk, who gave a description of the
man wanted. Donnelly being informed
that the man was to call again was
unable to be there at the right time, as
he was attending court. The clerk in
meantime put off the man with the
hardware goods until the proprietor
should return. In the meantime Don
nelly made diligent search for the man
in various localities. He at last while
going down Elm street, near Church,
noticed a man answering the descrip-
ton given walking down the street
with large package under his coat.
The detective followed him and again
he went into the pawnshop on Grand
avenue. Donnelly followed him and
while listening to him trying to sell the
goods, he cornered the man at his little
game.
The man said his name was Frank
B. Clement and that he was hard UP
and took the goods in payment from
the man whom he worked for, as he
refused to pay him his wages in full.
The detective went to Scranton street,
where the man was employed by some
Hebrews and they claimed that Glenn
ent was in debt to them. The accused
man was placed in the lookup and will
be tried this morning

that the second trial of Adolph L. Luet-

this week. States Attorney Deneen said
to-day that unless the defense asked for a
continuance and still persisted in their de-
mand for the release of the prisoner on bail
he would put the case on trial call for
Wednesday. The states attorney does not
know what judge will be selected to hear
the second trial. Judge Horton has been
suggested, and the case may come up before
him. THE second trial will not be as long

CAPT. RAYS REPORT.
Situation in Alaska as Viewed by an
Army officer.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The War De-
partment has just received a most interest
ing report from Captain Ray of the condi-
ton of affairs in the gold region as he has
found them from ST. Michaeps to Fort Yu-
kon, supplemented by the accounts of the
most reliable persons he could communicate
with as to the state of affairs in the Klon-
dixie and neighborhood. The officer, who
was sent especially for the purpose of MAX
ing recommendations for the betterment of
affairs there, has some radical suggestions
to make Among them he urges the di-
vision of Alaska into two districts, the
southern district to remain under the pres
ent jurisdiction, while the northern dis
trict, including the gold region, is to be
placed under a form of military government
until Congress can make other provisions.
The place selected by the captain for a
military post is near Rapid City, about $50
miles below Dawson.
Colonel Randall, who was sent out to To-
cate a post at ST. Michaels, has reported
by telegram to Secretary Alger via Seattle
his arrival at St. Michaels on the sth inst.
He says: THE detachment arrived here yes
terday morning. Supplies were landed in
good condition. There are about $50 people
on the island. Good order prevails
Captain Ray makes some interesting
statements in his report to illustrate the
condition of affairs among the gold seekers,
and because his. reports are strictly official
they are entitled TO weight. He favors the
enlistment of twenty Indian scouts, who. he
says, would be valuable as guides boat
ship of the natives Circle City, the other
point considered, is as a post, practically
abandoned now he says, and its reoccupa-
ton Isl extremely doubtful. He says there
is no reason why horses cannot be success
