the misfortune to be handed in by the DO
lice hereafter on the charge Of drunken
ness, will not have 70 go to the trouble
Of procuring a bondsman. provided they
nave sufficient cash IN hand to make
whatever deposit may be required OF them

sons arrested for drunkenness In lieu of
the bond now required in such cases. The
amount Of deposit to be required is left to

objections were raised, however. The a.
aermen wanted more information as to
the object Of the measure.
Alderman Guckenheimer explained the
ordinance and it was then permitted 10 90
on its second reading and was passed
The ordinance specifies only arrests for
drunkenness. Frequently, when arrests
are made, as at night. or of Strangers

Judge Robert Falligant left last night
for Atlanta where he goes to watch the
progress OF the bill now pending before
the legislature providing change in the

IS particularly interested in the PROPOSE
ton TO make a separate circuit OF Chat

" court last week stated that he would
go to Atlanta this week in the interest Of
that measure.
Heretofore some Of the counties OF the

they have more recently realized that they
do not have as long court terms during
the year as they need for the transaction

their consent to the passage Of such i.
measure.

The following opinions of the local stock

Nugent & Co, bankers and brokers:
The local stock market is very quiet. but
prTces are firm bnd brokers are well supplied
with orders at about exchange bid' prices.
Very few shares are offered. however, at be-
low exchange asked" prices

IN THE
se.**$S

The stock market opened steady with not
much business being done. London houses
were practically without orders and the fea-
ture Of the first hour was tendency toward
liquidation on the part Of traders in Omaha,
this being the first turn Of importance that
this stock has made since it began its big rise
several days ago
The London market rallied today and was
strong to steady. Bank rates were unchanged
and consols were at liz 1-l6. gain Of l-l6
The American securities ruled firm and the
reassuring news from the seat OF the war I'll
mors had a restoring tendency ON the entire
list Practically the only orders to the New
York foreign houses were few TO purchase
Louisville.
After the first hour the market rallied
again. Chicago Gas was materially higher on
the best kind of buying orders. In regard to
this line of stocks e. J. Knight & Go say
today: ''The sentiment IN regard to Chicago
Gas is constantly improving and the good
judges are Of the opinion that the stock will
sell considerably higher during the next few
months. The earnings of the company are
increasing handsomely. and when the consol-
idation bill is passed and the company is placed
on a sound legal basis there will be nothing to
prevent an increase in the value Of the securi-
ties"
Cordage was weak again. and it is now
stated that the break is due TO the effect of
the bonds on the stocks. The Standard Rope
a. Twine SIS were freely offered, and as there
were nc supporting orders this security alone
dropped per cent. yesterday. AS the cord
ago business is very poor and there is no
brighter outlook, the company has few
friends.
There has been considerable inquiry Of late
as to who was holding the Sugar stock, it hav.
ing been stated that the inside holdings were
comparatively small. Yesterday the ste tement
was made that the Standard Oil people were
big owners Of the common, and this. ii is be-
lieved. accounts for the strength of the stock
in the face of all the adverse conditions.
The railroad statement today showed that
Chesapeake g. Ohio. for the second week of
March, had an increase in earnings of $50 $40,
while Missouri Pacific, in the same period, in
creased $50, 900.

TIE WOOL TRADE.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter
says of the wool trade
The past week has been distinctly period
of higher prices and increased activity. The
market is broadening, and as we go 10 press
the indications all point 10 larger rather than
smaller transactions. The principal topic of
conversation has been the tariff. Every one is
of the upInfou that President Mckinley i'm
tends 10 push the new tariff measures through
with the utmost dispatch, and rs it is by no
means certain that his effort will not be
crowned with success, the eagorness to buy
wool has become intensified. Taking tho
market as a whole, it may perhaps be safe TO
say that low grade woods are M one cent and
fine grades one-half 20 one cent.
Territory woolsl are still in vory.strong de
mand, and prices may be said 10 perhaps show
an advance of 60 &c. on secured basis. The
market for foreign woods has been character
lied by degree OF activity, goodly sales OF
Australian, foreign secured and South Amcri-
can crossbrods being recorded. Fleece woods
have developed great strength, owing TO their
scarcity and Go tho excellent demand for them.
Sales i'm Boston for the week aggregate :, 16l,
00O pounds, 3,156,00O being domestic and 1855,
600 pounds foreign, compared with total OF
l,3io,5yO pounds the ecorrcsponding week OF last
year. Sales of the week in Boston, Now York
and Philadelphia aggregate iOS2,OO0 pounds,
5,O,j,jOO being domestic and >, iQg, 100 foreign.
Sales since January 1 aggregate i03, 26l, 200

GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
Grand Old Man UnbOsOmS Himself
on Eastern Question.
Exposes the Pretense and Ineflciency
of the Concert of Powers.

London, March 1s-There will be pub.
l.ished tomorrow by John Murray a six
teen page pamphlet in the form of letter
from the Rt Hon. William f. Gladstone,
dated Cannes, March Is, TO the Duke of
Westminster. 1t furnishes remarkable evil
dence of Mr.. Gladstone mental activity
and interest in the political situation.
The letter begins by saying: "My ambf-
tion is for rest and peace alone but every
grain of sand Is part of the seashore and
connected as have been for nearly half a
century with the eastern question l feel
that. inclination does not suffice to justify
:ilence."
The letter then proceeds to review the
events in the East from the beginning of
the Armenian massacres and unsparingly
arraigns the Powers Referring TO his at
tempt in 1880, to establish the concert of
Europe, Mr.. Gladstone SAYS: "We soon
discovered that for several of the Powers.
concert bore n significance TO it and in
cluded toy demonstrations which might be
made, under the condition that they
should not pass into reality. At present
the Powers have no common purposes To
bring them together. What is worse than
all this pretense and inffcctual co-opera-
tions? IL is from this mischief that are
now suffering.
1T is time to speak with freedom. At
this moment two great states are under
the government of two young men, one
wholly without knowledge ard experience
ald the other having only such knowl.
edge and experience, in truth, SO limited
as to have excited astonishment and con-
sternation when an inkling Of them WAS
given 10 the world. These so far as their
sentiments are known, are using their
powers in the concert to fight steadily
against freedom Why are we t. have our
governments pinned TO their apronsy
ION the heels of this concert we have
plodded for two years and with all its
prctension of power it has worsened and
has not bettered the situation. Surely it
is timo we should have done with this
gross delusion 1t is time TO shake off
the incubus. Why should not Crete be
ANONYMOUSLY united with Greece? Yet
IL is as undotachod in theory from Turkey
as Besonia and Herzegovina. Greece by her
bold action has conferred - great sew lee
ON Europe and has made it impossible TO
faltcr with the question as we have falt-
cred with the blood stained question of
Armenia.

A CLEAN FIGHT,
Continued from Page l.)

Jim's sister-in-law, Mrs. Harry Corbett.
About 2 O'Clock there was not one of them
who had dry eyes. Their faces were
swollen with weeping and Mrs. Jim, who is
pretty, was almost unrecognizable. Not
only had their hero fallen, but the family
fortunes as well, for it is said that Cor
belts pere put all he owned up on Jim,
livery stable and all, his savings of years.
Corbett was up bright and early this
morning looking little the worse for
wear. He slept under the influence of
opiates. He was in good spirits and said
TO the Associated Press reporter that he
was feeling fine and felt no pain except a
slight distress from broken TOOTH which
he had fixed today. Jim says he is ready
TO meet Fitzsimmons any day for $40 600
and would fight this afternoon If Bob
would meet him. Corbett had breakfast
served in his ROOM
When Corbett was told a rumor was
about that he was dead he was having "a
broken tooth tinkered with by "a dentist
Dead am /, " he roared in voice of
thunder II wish the Associated Press
would tell every one that am the most
lively corpse you ever saw, and he shot
out his fist in pantomime style at the den
tist who retreated TO safe distance Cor
bctt says he will show himself on the
streets as soon as he is through with the
dentist Just TO show his friends how
well he is.
