Our local market Is strong and ac'
tive. One could not wish for better
trading market than the one offered IN
biscuits. We have predicted from time
to time In our letters that these securi-
ties would sell much higher, especially
the common, ana what Is the result
from 33 to 43, ana 1t Is just beginning.
Some of our customers have been wait
ing for reaction and they are still wait
ing. l am a great believer In the old
maxim, "He who hesitates Is lost" es-
peclally In the hull market. Suppose
we do have reaction OF few points.
VIII any Of us get In on bottom? We
venture to say few. Reactions will
come In any market, but our advice II
TO buy biscuit common. 1t will reach
20 before next September. The In.
siders have simply been amazed at the
earnings of this corporation. Buy Wes,
and North Chicago r. r. stocks. Dia'
mond Match will do better.

DUNHAM WOULD LOWER TUNNELS.

4 twenty.foOt deep channel through.
out the course Of the Chicago River will
he made In the near future X the pres.
cnt plans of the River improvement
Association are carried out. 4 move.
mcnt II now on foot to have clause IN.
serted In the river and harbor bill to
be passed mt the coming session estab.
fishing that depth rs minimum.
This means that the three tunnels,
which have long been regarded as the
most serious obstacles to permanent
Improvement OF the chocolate.hued
stream, will have to be lowered. Six
teen to sixteen and half feet Of water
is all that now covers them, though
boats drawing seventeen feet are said
ccaslonally to slide over them. In fact,
1t Is frankly admitted by officers OF the
association that the movement II In.
tended to secure the lowering OF the
tunnels first OF all. They are regarded
as q permanent bar to the development
| OF the river In their present condition.
and the Government engineers refuse
to consider plans looking to greater
depth elsewhere until they are disposed
of.
Pledges have been secured from
prominent Congressman that they will
introduce and support such u measure.
| \ similar movement started ut the last
session of Congress was not carried
through owing to the failure OF Con.
gress to pass the usual river and har.
bOr bill. This year u bill II regarded
as certain, ana the Importance OF the
proposed requirement Is said TO be
much greater than 1t was last year.
Chicago Is declared to he doing no more
than to hold Its own this year In the
volume OF Its shipping, while most OF
the cargOes are being carried In deep
bottoms. Year by year the tendency or
lake traffic Is to longer, wider ana deep
or vessels. Twenty feet has been estab-
llshed as a standard depth for nearly
all the lake ports where Improvement
by the Government Is being carried on,
and 1t Is declared that Chicago will lose
rapidly in the future II greater depth
Is not secured.
The Importance OF a river to q port
Is shown by the fact that the combined
tonnage of entrances and clearances
for the year 1897 was over l4,WO,WO
tons, as against the combined tonnage
of Liverpool for the preceding year OF
less than 100000 tons. As grain
shipping port Duluth Is coming rapidly
to the front, while Milwaukee, Sheboy-
gan and other towns show far greater
percentage of Increase than Chicago.
The question OF who will bear the ex-
pense Of lowering the tunnels Is unde.
clded. The River Improvement Asso-
citation is Indifferent about this point,
its only object being to benefit the
navigation of the river.
If We can only get the depth estab-
llshed by law" said Captain j. 3. Dun.
ham, President Of the association re.
Gently, I'VE will leave the question OF
expense to be fought out by the city
ana the street car companies"

Bankers who were willing to discuss

Neither J. j. Mitchell Of the Illinois

Controller Eckcls of the Commercial
National Bank. the former member
Of the Monetary Commission and the

advocate of currency reform In the
country. would enter into any criti'

Mitchell said:
"The point the Controller brings ur
that nOtc.holders should enjoy no pref

WAR INVESTIGATORS PLANS
Will lear Important Witnesses at the
Capital and Go to New York
for Two Weeks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-All the mem
bers Of the War Investigating commission
except ex-governor Woodbury. were present
at today's session, which was devoted to a
discussion of the subcommittee which went
to western cities and to preparation for the
New York and Boston trip. A large number
of complaints have been received from that
city and the opinion was expressed that two
weeks time might be put in there. Among
the witnesses who will be heard before leav-
ing for New York are Generals Young,
Humphrey and Breckinridge; Colonies Knox
and Forward and DR.. Huidekoper. DR..
Huidekoper has been much criticised as an
army surgeon and he has sought an oppor-
tunity to go before the board for his vindi-
cation.
General Dodge, Colonel Sexton and DR..
Conner gave the other members of the board
n great deal OF information concerning their
western trip, which they consider was pro-
ductive OF important developments. General
Dodge expressed the opinion that the COM
mission would be lille to conclude its duties
by the LIST of January next.

GOVERNMENT WILL NOT ACT
Riots in CRrolinas Will Probably Not
Now Receive Attention of
Fedora authorities.

WASHINGTON, Nov. '12.-Except In the
unlocked for event OF a recurrence OF the
race rioting in the Carolinas, 1t is altogether
improbable that the government will inter-
fere by force or otherwise. The attorney
general had another conference with the
president this morning in regard TO the
matter, and the conclusion was promptly
reached that as the demonstrations were
not directed against the collector Of Gus
toms in the performance Of his duty as
such, the government had no authority
under the constitution or laws to exercise
its federal authority. Collector Tolbert was
shot while away from his home and on
business entirely disconnected from that OF
his office. and under the circumstances the
government, it is said. has not a shadow
Of right to interfere If the collector had
been shot in the discharge Of his oficiai
duties and in an effort to enforce the laws
Of the United States, the case would have
been very different and the duty Of the
government would have been clear. In the
present case, however, it is said that the
lawless acts Of the mob were not directed
against the execution Of the laws OF the
United States. but against the individual.
The case would have been the same had
Tolbert been shot on the highway by a
robber.
Administration officials have no sympathy
with the Carolina rioters and regard their
acts with adherence, but up TO this time
there is no evidence that would warrant any
interference by the government. The attor-
ney general late, last night sent the follow
| ing telegram to the assistant United States
| attorney at Anderson. near Phoenix, S. c.:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WASH
INGTON. Nov. 11.-Ernest f. Cochran, AS
sistant United States Attorney. Andersen,
S. c.: You will at once take energetic steps,
mourning the necessary expense, to ascer-
tain the exact situation in Greenwood and
| adjoining counties and report the same at
once to me with a view to advising me
whether any such condition of insurrection
or disturbance exists as i~ustifes the federal
authorities in interfering to suppress 1t.
JOHN w. GR1GGS. Attorney General.
To which the following response has been
received:
ANDERSON. S. c.. Nov. 11.-Attorney
General, Washington: My information Is
that there was much rio.ing near Green
wood, at Phoenix, Tuesday and Wednesday
Several negroes killed and wounded. One
white man killed and several wounded
Thursday there was also some rioting, but
condition uuieter. My information is thai
it is quiet there now, though the community
is very much excited. From all Information
| have l think federal intervention is toe
late now. 1t seems the mob was espe.
cially anxious to get the Tolberts, and | an
informed they are now all safely out Of
their reach. Intense excitement still pre-
vale there. but no violence now. Will wire
further tomorrow.

BARN AND CONTENTS BURN
Family Of Proprietor Unable to Es-
cape Before the Infammable
Structure In Consumed.

OWOSSO. Mich. Nov. 1.-THE village Of
Perry. south Of this city. was visited by a
terrible fire early today. Rowe & Co.'S
large livery barn, with its contents, was
burned to the ground. Charles Taylor, one
Of the proprietors. and family, lived over
the barn. Mrs. Taylor, her daughter and
an old man named Clark were buried be-
meath the fallen roof and burned to death.
The building was so suddenly enveloped in
flames that they could not escape. Mr..
Taylor was able to get out, but he was
frightfully burned. DR.. A.. l.. Compton, a
veterinary surgeon, and a boy, who slept
in the Office, also escaped. The cause o;
the fire is unknown. The bodies when pulled
out Of the ruins were burned beyond recog-
milton. A dozen horses and carriages and a
few cattle and hay, grain, ETC., were burned.
The village has no water supply and moth
ing could be done to e%Xtinguish the flames.
The property loss is about $4,000, partly in
sured.
