Mckinley today sent to the senate a
message with a report from the secre-
tary of state relating to the lynching in
1895 at Yreka, CAL, of Louis Morena,

Italians in Louisiana, in August, 1896,
l have recommended the appropriation

tions and without reference to the
question of liability of the government

be paid by the secretary of state to the
government OF Mexico, to be distrib-
uted among the heirs of Louis Mo-
rena.''

Washington, Jan. 2O.-According to
statistics at the treasury department,
the value of exports by the United
States for the calendar year 1897 aggre-
gated 81, 100, 900, 900, an increase of
500. 900, 900 over any preceding year.
Another record was smashed with
the trade balance of 1855, 900, 900 in
favor of Uncle Sam, the highest point
ever reached in the history of this
country.
Exports for the fiscal year which
ended June 80, 1897, were 81 ,032, 000,-
900, thus furnishing third record,
for the top notch prior to these figures
was reached in 1899, when the exports
amounted to $l,015, 100000. Bread
stuffs furnished the bulk OF the expor.
tations in every instance.

rnoueb Of the Sealing Question.

London, Jan. 20.-Great Britain has
again declined to reopen the sealing
question. 1t seems that her previous
refusal gave as its reason that while the
negotiations were pending between the
United States and Canada, Great
Britain could not reopen the matter.
To this the United States replied that
no negotiations were pending, and re-
newed the request, but the foreign
Office sends its regrets that the govern
ment does not see it's way clear to re-
open the question.

BIG STRIKE NOW ON.
over one Hundred Thousand Cotton
Operatives Affected.

Boston, Jan. l9.-The fight between
employer and employe in the New
England cotton mills is on, and what
IL VIII lead up to cannot be foretoId.
Inc great corporations in New Bedford
are silent, and thousands of operatives
are Idle, while here and there discon-
tent has cropped out all day, the most
serious being at Biddeford, Me-, when
$500 persons refused to work, TINS
closing two mills, and at Lewiston
Where one mill was crippled by 800
Weavers staying out. The general wage
reduction is estimated to affect 1877 900
persons in about $50 mills.
Tonight finds the textile operatives
everywhere intently interested in the
New Bedford strike, for there the real
strength and endurance will come, and
upon the outcome will depend the uues-
tlon OF an industial battle the entire
length and breadth of the New England
states. The chief point in this will be
discipline. From the point of view of
the millowner the New Bedford situa-
tlon is now lockout. Intervention
by the state board of arbitration this
week is hardly likely to be allowed, and
no overt act on the part of the strikers
and no attempt to open mill is expect
ed for number of days. The New
Bedford strikers will receive strike
money from operatives elsewhere, but
the sum total will be reserved until a
protracted battle brings on want and
hardship, which the unions will then
try to relieve.
All the New Bedford mills opened at
the usual time. When noon came the
lights went out, speed stopped, over
seers and second hands prepared to
make everything snug, and mill gates
were closed indefinitely. The labor
unions did little work today except to
carry out plans of campaign which will
be developed only as fainthearted
weavers seek to return to work.
OF the other strikers, little has beer
developed in them as yet to forecast the
future. All of the employees of the La.
coma and Pepperell mill works in
Biddeford struck because they were
anxious to, while the weavers alone il
the Androscoggin mill simply tool
matters into their own hands, regard
less of other departments. These two
strikes, with identical issues, will
serve only as minor fights along thC
line, unless the strike fever grows ant
they become the nucleus of genera
fight in Maine cities.
One other minor fight now is at Bur
lington. VT, where the Queen City
mills shut down indefinitely becaus,
the operatives refused point-blank tc
accept the reduction. The trouble
however, began number of days ago
but reached the acute stage today
Taking today's events throughout, i
may be said that things came to pas
just as expected. 1t is the immediate
future which awakens apprehensions.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Grade Conditions in the Leading Cities
of the World.
The wheat traders are at sea and are
watching three things closely, as they
nave a directly opposite bearing on fu-
'ure prices. One is the Argentine
prospects, The others, the cash de-
mand and Letters position on the cash
wheat that he holds. From the news
Saturday from Argentine, London and
Paris, the prospects are that there will
be good exportable surplus in that
country. A direct cable from Rosario
10 parties in the trade here from one of
the best posted men on the Argentine
situation estimated the exportable sur
plus mt 46,000,000 bushels, or about
two months supplies for the leading
consuming countries of Europe. A
number of characters have been made
IN London to load wheat in Argentine
and freights have advanced sharply.
Arrangements have been made to ship.
81 800, 900 in cold from london 70 Ar.
gentine; also $250,000 from France
The Argentine wheat will be available
in the latter part of March, as it takes
about six weeks for freight steamers to
make the trip. Argentine offerings in
European markets had a depressing
effect, European buyers using it as
stub to break prices in this country.
On the weak spots they bought liber-
ally, export purchases for the week ag-
gregating nearly 1900, 900 bushels. So
long as the Argentine prospects remain
good, it will be used as the bearish fac
tor. st. Louis traders in close touch
with the foreign situation have been
selling May and July on a liberal
scale. The latter is about loo under
May. Were they to start to cover the
difference might be reduced, as no one
but the bears have been selling the new
crop futures. The situation in regard
to supplies in Europe and afoat is not
strikingly bullish, stocks January
being II ,620, 900 bushels, or 1855, 900
bushels less than last year, which is
about one weeks supplies. The in
crease during December was 1,12O, 900
bushels, while for the same month in
1896 the decrease was 10000, 900
bushels. In the United States and
Canada the stocks, compiled by the
Daily Trade Bulletin, aggregate S5,-
8S9, 900 bushels. The decrease in De-
cember was only 626, 900 bushels,
! striking contrast with tho raductinn of
77l2,O00 bushels in December, 1895.
The net increase in the worlds avail
able supply during December was 494,-
)0O bushels, while for the same time in
1896 there was a reduction OF 17,7l2,-
900 bushels. The worlds available is
l57, 900, 900 bushels, as compared with

OVERLAND TRAIN DERAILED.
DISASTROUS Wreck on the Southern Near
Colfax, California.

Auburn, CAL, Jan. 20.-One of the
most disastrous railroad wrecks that
ever happened on this branch of the
Southern Pacific road occurred this af-
ternOOn about mile above Colfax, the
accident derailing overland train No. 2,
going west Trains are drawn over the
mountains by two engines, and it is
supposed that the front engine broke
an axle. The two engines were tele-
scOped, and the baggage car thrown off
the track.
HaCkett, one of the Oldest engineers
on the road, was killed outright, and
the body OF his fireman, Lightner, was
found under the engine, horribly man
gled. Brown, the second engineer, and
bis fireman jumped and escaped injury.
W. Burke, the express messenger who
bad miraculous escape at the recent
Reno wreck, was again favored, and
escaped with severe, though not serious
injuries. Many of the passengers were
badly shaken up, though none were in
pred. Two wrecking trains, with Su-
perlntendent Wright, are out from Sac
'amento, and special train was made
up at COlfax.
The accident occurred just below one
Oh the most dangerous places on this or
any other railroad. At Cape Horn, the
angle is 40 degrees, and there is no OBJ
slruction between it and the abyss

Cu6A'S TIME NOT YET

washington, Jan. 2O.-Cuba had =
nearing in the house today, and for a
time 1t looked as though parliament.
ary Precedents would be set aside and
the senate resolution, recognizing tbe
insurgents as belligerents, would he at-
tached as rider to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill.
DeArmond, Missouri Democrat
preclpltated the issue by Offering the
resolution as an amendment. but a
point OF order against it was sustained
DeArmond appealed. He urged tba
Republicans, who had professed friend
snip Tor the struggling Cubans. to
override the decision of the chair as
the only chance of securing action on
the proposition.
Bailey, the leader of the minority,
and other Democrats joined in the an.
peal. The excitement became intense
out the appeals of Dingley, the floor
leader of the majority, as well as other
Republican leaders, to their associates
not to join in the programme succeeded.
Coison warned his side that, unless
ne was soon given an opportunity to
vote his sentiments on the Cuban oues-
ton, he would cooperate in any revo-
lutlonary method to secure action.
The Republican tactics kept to the
front the point that the minority was
seeking to override the rules of the
house, and they got every Republican

the vote of 152-114. A Democrat,
Fleming, voted with them, on the
ground that he could not violate the
rules.

Hit to give the house an assurance
that an opportunity would be offered
to vote on the resolution passed by the
senate at the last session, but he re-
ceived no reply.
Before the diplomatic bill came up,
the army bill was passed.
Today's session of the senate was
brief. Practically the only business
accomplished, aside from the routine
proceedings, was the passing of the ur-
gent deficiency appropriation bill. The
measure, as finally passed by the SEN
ate, carries $l,9l3,S1O. The Teller
resolution, providing that bonds of the
United States may be paid in standard
silver dollars, was favorably reported
by majority of the finance committee,
and notice was given that it will be
called up at an early date. An effort
was made to fix time for the final
vote on the pending census bill, but it
was abandoned until tomorrow.
