the opening there was a rush to buy as
a result OF orders placed with commission

that Spain had addressed the United
peace. This early demand was fed quite
freely by realizing sales, which held
prices back to within a small fraction
above last night, and even dragged them
below the last nights level. but these
offerings were confidently and aggressive

satisfied.
The market was apparently embarked on
a sustained upward movement when SUI

blocks of the stock, many of them of

1t Is thought hat no difficulty will

mated bank in Chicago. To what extent
this request has been complied with Is
not known, but there a hardly be any
trouble over this detail. The bond
holder would hardly care to fight q

sellers would be witnesses testifying

be accomplished by republicans united

The silver republicans have as yet NJ

somewhat shadowy party, but many
republicans, gold or silver, feel that

campaign of 1896 is not of the pleas

Great Falls, July 27.-This morning
Chief Guerin arrested George O'Donnell
aud Frank HASTE. each 13 years Of age.
They are charged with and have con-
fessed to .he theft. or rather a success
sion of thefts from h warehouse of
Sam WILDER of various articles of mer-
chsndise. They say that there is a
regularly organized band of youthful
brigands led by older boys, who have
been making a practive of differing
from the warehouses. They have them
selves taken a large quantity of
canned gools from time to time. The
direct cause OF their arrest was the
theft of some pickles and two razors
from a shack in the vicinity of the
werehouse. and they then confessed to
the other crimes. They take the mat
ter cody and seem to think they have
done nothing out of the commonplace.
