Chicago Grain.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Wheat was lower
this morning but there was fairly
steady undertone and a moderately
good demand at the decline. The de-
probation in price was due to Liver
POOLS disregard of the French crop
shortage, to which our strength of yes
terday was mainly ascribed. The Paris
and French country markets were also
in no apparent worry over the out
look and the belief that we were Dor
rowing trouble found expression in the
decline which took place this morning
The northwest received 299 cars against
1874 last Friday and 5S4 a year ago
Chicago had 10 cars and inspected out
106. 325 bushels. Quite liberal export
clearances, 4S5, 1913 bushels, impaired
strength about the middle of the ses-
sion, but closing weakness at Liverpool
destroyed the growing confidence and
resulted in a set back to prices. Clos
ing Paris cables were lower and Berlin
higher. Antwerp was unchanged
May wheat opened from 1878 to 751R,
advancing to 761h, closing at 1875 @754 ::
a shade under yesterday. Estimated
receipts for tomorrow 25 cars. No. 2
red spot wheat ranged from S41s@S61s,
closing S45s @S534.
Oats-No very great activity was
noted in oats. although the trade was
not dull. London cables quoted Sd adj
vance per quarter on oats. Receipts
were fair at PSI cars and 51,423 bushels
were taken from store. Export clear
ances were 27,214 bushels. May oats
closed Is lower. Estimated receipts for
tomorrow 300 cars.

'RAH FOR M'KINLEY.
TWO MORE BANKING INSTITU.
TONS GO TO THE WALL.
Cashier Hatcher of the Northwestern
National of Great Falls, Mon,
Charged With Playing Havoc
With the Bank-An Ohio Bank
Goes Under.

Great Falls. Mon, Feb. 5.-The North
western National bank of this city failed
to open its doors today. The failure
is due to an alleged shortage of the
cashier, B. D. Hatcher. The bank has
a capital of s250,000 and a surplus of
S45, 600.
An unofficial statement gives assets
$750000; liabilities 100000. The directors
discovered that Cashier Hatcher had
drawn $4,000 from its Boston CORE
spondent. the Globe National bank, and
used it in the purchase of bank stock,
formerly owned by Conrad Bros. The
bank officials knew of the purchase of
the stock. but were told by Hatcher that
the money was being furnished by Boston
people for whom he was making the pur-
chase. Cashier Hatcher is at home in
this city but declines to see any one.
He is said to be i'll and has nothing to
say.
Joseph A Coram of Boston is president
of the institution. and has been conduct
ing an investigation of its affairs.

ALARM IN MARSEILLES.
Dread the Importation of the Plague
From India.

Marseilles, Feb. 5-Many vessels
from India arrive at this port, and the
ravages of the plague in that country
has created very lively fear that
some of them will be the means of in
Producing the disease here. The most
vigorous precautions have been taken
by the authorities to guard against
such an occurrence, but nothing they
have done served to allay the panicky
feeling that pervades all circles. The
authorities have appealed to the gov
eminent at Paris to SUPPORT them in
their endeavors to prevent the disease
from entering the city, but some
doubts are expressed as to whether the
central authorities will give their
sanction to some of the measures taken
by the local officials through excess of
fear. The steamer Caledonia, bound
Tor London, arrived today from Bonn
bay, having on board II passengers, a
majority of whom intend to travel
overland TO England. and thus escape
the discomfort and loss of time that
would be occasioned by the Caledonia.
The steamer had clean bill of health,
but this fact had no weight with the
health officials. who forbade any of the
passengers to land. The appeals of the
passengers from this decision were
many, but the officials We're obdurate
and the passengers will be compelled
to proceed by sea to London.

The sugar-Coffee War.

New York. Feb. 5.-The Herald says:
The latest developments in the sugar
coffee war now waging between the
sugar trust and the firm of Arbuckle
Bros. was the execution of a flank
movement by sugar people.
In Trenton, n. j., yesterday, the
American Coffee company was incor-
porated with a capital stock of $780,,
000. The incorporatorS are Henry O..
Havemeyer, John E. Searles, John
Parsons and Theodore A. Havemeyer.
The new phase in the war reached
Wall street yesterday. A lively dis
move by the Arbuckles. The latter
thus far, if not having a decided ad-
vantange in the contest, have rendered
it a drawn battle, through their eX-
ceedingly shrewd purchase of the mi
nority stock of the WoolSon Spice COM
pany of Toledo, second only in size to
the Arbuckle plant, among the coffee
roasting establishments in the country.
The move is considered one of the
smoothest bits of business of the gen.
Grafton, for though they could not con-
to apply for receivership for the COM
pany and testimony on this application
is now being taken in Toledo.
1t was said if the sugar trust lost
the case in Toledo that it would turn
some of its dismantled refineries in
Brooklyn into embarrassing plants.
and the Incorporation of the company
in Trenton yesterday was by some per-
sons taken as foreshadowing the be-
lief of the sugar people that the case
would go against them. Other opinions
were in effect that the sugar people
had secured the incorporation of the
American company in Trenton with a
view of forming an immense coffee
roasting trust in which, after some
more fighting, the Arbuckles, the Wool
sons and the new company would mon
opolize the trade and drive out all
smaller competitors.

TORPEDO BOAT NO. 6.
Her Success Now Only Question of
Mechanical Detail.

Newport r. l., Feb. SIT has been
proved that the principle on which tor
pedo boat No. has been constructed is
correct and the extent of her success IS
now only a question of mechanical detail.
1 here may be flaws in her machinery that
will cause he'd to be disabled. but these
are always to be looked for in new ma
chinery. but in her tuning-up, which has
been severe. none has been developed to
date. She differs from department ideas
in many respects and this is where many
predicted failure, while others were
equally sure of success.
Wednesday night she came off the dry
dock in Providence where she had been
to have her bottom cleaned and painted
as the specifications require, before she Is
given her official speed trial. and today
She came down the bay for the further
breaking in or her crew for endurance.
She was speeded for upwards of an hour
and a quarter. during which time she
made eight runs over the government
measured mile, and developed a mean
speed of 2S.76 knots. Her best soeed
over the course for two runs. once against
and once with the tide, gave the remark
able mean of just 20 knots. During these
runs there was carried a steam pressure
of from 205 to 230 pounds, but most of
the time it was about 30 at the engines.
All on board We're convinced that the
boat can make even better speed when
the crew is broken in as thoroughly as

CRUSADE AGAINST POVERTY
SALVATION ARMY LEADERS
WILL INSTITUTE IT SOON.
To Organize Vast System of Social
Settlements Similar to That Or
ganized by General Booth in
England.

Chicago, Feb. 5-Commander Booth
Tucker and Colonel Brewer of the Sal
walton Army will meet in this city
within two weeks to arrange the pre-
liminaries for the establishment of a
vast system of social settlements SINH
lar to that in operation in England,
organized by General William Booth.
The venerable founder of the army win
come here when the preliminary work
is done, and after setting the great in
dustrial and economic scheme in mo-
ton, he will leave it in care of the
American officers mentioned. The es-
tablishment is intended TO be a cru
SADIE against poverty in all it's forms.
Chicago is to be the center of this
system and its boundaries will be the
United States. City colonies are to be
established, where at least temporary
work will be offered every idle man in
the city; spacious tenement houses are
to be provided under army supervision,
and eventually the colonies are to be
extended within a radius of several
hundred miles from the city. Mr.. Har-
per of the Chicago university and
President Roberts of Northwestern
university and other university presi-
dents, educators and philanthropists
have taken an active interest in the
movement as outlined by the army
leaders.

CRUISER BRooKLYN'S DAMAGE
CONFINED TO PORT SIDE.
All the Ammunition Taken Out and
the Vessel May Leave Anchorage
For Dry Dock Today.

Chester. Pa, Feb. 5.-If the conditions
remain favorable it looks today as though
the cruiser Brooklyn may leave her an
chorage at Marcus Hook for the dry
dock at the League Island navy yard to-
morrow afternoon. The stevedores finished
unloading the coal from the vessel this
morning and all the ammunition has been
taken out. The divers report shows that
near the bow to n point Under the engine
room, but the damage is confined to the
port side. The injury is serious but it is
not as bad as was at first thought from
the quantity of water forced into the
double bottom compartments. The skin
is not damaged and the bolts are not
sheared off. Captain Cook has received
a telegram from eleven Point Light
house. Mich, expressing sympathy for the
accident to the Brooklyn. The captain
for a number of years was stationed at

a WARNING.

Weyler Weyler, beware of the day
When the Cubans shall meet thee in bat
tie array
For the blood of their leader will stand
in their sight,
And his spirit will CLEAN in the thick of
the fight.
They will rally and bleed for their God
and their land.
And revenge on the chief of the treach-
erous hand.
You trapped the brave eagle-his plumage
is torn,
His power and his valor by vultures GER
borne;
But yet. through the fast-hashing light
nings of war,
A spirit of vengeance-he flies from affair."
Weep. Weyler, that infamy covers thy
headi
But all of thy tears cannot waken the
dead:
Ard a merciless sword in the battle
shall wave.
That may dig for thy body nurderer's
crave.

For the Hands.

A verv good preparation for chapped
hands may be made as follows: Three
drachms of camphor gum, three drachms
of white beeswax, three drachms of
spermaceti, two ounces of olive OIL Place
all together in a cup or basin on the
stove TO melt slowly until they form
white ointment. Apply to the affected
parts at night after washing If badly
chapped it is well to put on pair of SOFT
kid gloves. from which first cut out the
palms and the finger-tips to allow ventila
ton.
However. the best plan is to prevent
this chapping by never falling to dry the
water should be used, and if oatmeal is
occasionally substituted for soap IL will
help to whiten the hands.
