BRAVE WOMAN AND A HATPIN
Combination Which Fooled Two Bandits
in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-TWO men who
last night tried to rob Conductor War
rem, of a Blue-Island avenue cable
train, were foiled by woman passen-
ger named Miss Sadie Williams. Be-
sides Miss Williams there were three
other passengers, another woman and
two men and the gripman on the train
Neither the male passengers nor the
gripman came to the help of the con-
ductor, who was having a desperate
fight with the robbers. just as the
robbers We're getting the best of the
fight Miss Williams concluded to take
a hand. Grabbing her long hatpin,
that fastened her hat to her hair, she
made plunge with the pin on the rob-
Der nearest her. All her strength was
lent to the thrust, and the man screamed
with pain. He released his hold on the
conductor and turned on Miss Williams.
She struck him again and he quit the
fight.
Miss Williams went for the next man
and made a thrust for his eyes. The
point of the pin struck his cheek.
Take her off, cried the robber. He
turned to look for his companion, who
by that time was on the platform, MAX
ing ready to jump. He was asked to
come back, but he did not. Meantime
the young woman was striking for more
vital parts than his face. She reached
with her pin for his stomach. His
thick clothing saved his lie.
The conductor was bleeding and in a
half-dazed condition. When he came
to his senses there were but two passen-
gers on the car. The others, whose
names could not be learned, had gone.
So had the robbers.
When the excitement was over and
the robbers had disappeared Miss Will
liams replaced her hat and then asked
the conductor if he was hurt. He was
not. Then she tainted. She was soon
revived, however, and escorted to her
home.
Miss Williams resides with her
parents, and is employed in one of the
downtown offices. She is small of
frame, but it is said that she has the
courage of a soldier.

ANTl-SEALING LAW.
Works a Hardship on Residents in the
Vicinity of Niagara Falls.

Works a Hardship on Residents in the
Vicinity of Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls, Jan. 12.-The United
States customs officers stationed at both
bridges have been notified to seize any
thing that looks like sealskins. Nearly
all of the Canadians were notified to
leave their sacks, gloves and caps on
the other side if they did not want
them confscated.
The situation at Niagara Falls is
probably different from that at any
other point on the frontier. Both sides
of the river are thickly settled, and the
Canadian and American populations go
back and forth daily. On the Cana
dian side, back of the high bluff, a
number of wealthy American families
have country seats, and great many
of the women in these families, as we'll
as Canadian women, who wear sealskin
coats, pass over the river to the Ameri-
can side daily, while out driving and
making calls. Several sealskin hats of
Canadians were seized belonging to
gentlemen engaged on business to Buff
falo and New York, and many man
went on to his destination tonight
wearing a little travelling cap, after
having left his name and something by
which he could identify his oonfscated
headgear.
The law also affects the Canadian
railroads running from Chicago east
ward. These include the Michigan
Central, the Grand Trunk, the Cana
dian Pacific, the Wabash and the Le-
high Valley.
The sealskin garments taken from
their wearers are turned over to the
appraisers at custom-houses, where the
owners, after filing an application, must
wait until notice has been sent to the
secretary of the treasury for decision
in the matter. -

Portland, Or, Jan. 10.-The awards
on the bids for supplies to be furnished
for the government relief expedition,
which were received at the Office of
Captain Allison, chief commissary off

terday, were made and given out by
Captain Brainerd today.
Portland and Seattle were the only
cities submitting bids for the supplies,
and the contract will be divided be-
tween these points.
The proposals submitted were quite
numerous, and it was no small task to
segregate and classify them in such a
manner that the proper awards might
be made. Captain Brainerd stated
that the awards in each case had been
made to the lowest bidder when the
proposals conformed with the condi-
tions and specifications named in the
advertisement.
In a number of cases, proposals
which would otherwise have received
consideration had to be laid aside for
the reason that they contained condi-
tions not in conformity with the adver-
tisement. For instance, several bid
ders submitted their bids on goods to
be delivered at some certain point, as
at Skagway or Dyea, while the alver-
tisement gives the government the OPP
tion as to the point of delivery.
The following orders have been re-
ceived from the war department.:
First Lieutenant Guy Fl. Preston,

headquarters in compliance with tele-
graphic instructions from the major
general commanding the army, is here

In the House.

The attendance in the house was
light today, but the galleries were we'll
filled. The civil service debate was
resumed, and Cooney, Democrat, of
Missouri, took the floor. He opposed
the whole civil service reform idea,
which he denounced as cheat and a
narrow swindle. A civil pension list
and office-holdlng class, he argued. were
logical and inevitable if it was to be
maintained.
Dorr, Republican of West Virginia,
followed with set speech in opposition
to the law.
Cox, Democrat of Tennessee, said he
was so utterly opposed to civil service
reform that he would vote to strike out
the appropriation for the commission
and for the repeal of the law.
Little, Democrat, of Arkansas, an
tagonized the principle, theory and
practice of the law.

Russia Wants a Permanent Hold on
Port Arthur.
London, Jan. 1O.-According to a
special dispatch from Shanghai, Russia
is edeavoring to obtain terms similar to
Germany's for the occupation of Port
Arthur and the Kiao Tung peninsula
from point considerably north of La
Lien Wan. 1t is believed that the at
titude of England and Japan will frus-
trate her designs.
The Hong Kong correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle SAYS:
The Russian occupation of Port Ar
thur completely blocks the entrance to
Peking, and it is imperative that the
court should be transferred to Marking
(the southern capitaD.
1t is learned on excellent authority
that in the event of Great Britain IS
guaranteeing the new Chinese loan, the
concessions required will be the open
ing of the new treaty ports to all ma
tions alike. According to a special
dispatch from Shanghai, the existence
of an Anglo-Japanese alliance is openly
asserted there in well-informed quarters
an alliance to maintain the status
quo in China and Corea and to declare
the independence of Corea under the
joint guaranty of England, Russia and

committee, and others, the principal
portion of the debate for the first two
hours of the session being upon this
motion.

bate the Hawaiian proposition in open

Exports of -four and wheat from both
coasts last week were 4,595,O00 BUSH
els, or 700,0 bushels more than the
previous week, and double the same
week last year. Receipts are expected
to fall off. We have now reached the
time where the exports generally de-
crease; at least they have in the past
years, as the first six months Of the
crop year generally marks the largest
export business. There is every indi-
cation, however, of good export move
ment from now on, as liberal engage
ments have been for wheat, corn and
oats. Foreigners continue to buy mod
erately when the market gets weak, SO
that the outward movement will grad
ually cut into the wheat stocks. which
are none too heavy if the exports are to
keep up large. Argentine news favors
an exportable surplus of about 30, ,O00,-
900 bushels, but some good authorities
make it only 100000 bushels. This
is used as club by the bears and con-
sumers to prevent an advance here.
There will be no Argentine wheat avail
able in European markets before the
latter part of March. In the meantime
their light stocks will be reduced, and
they will have to come in as buyers.
The American visible supply of wheat
increased this week AZ, 900 bushels, and
now totals 38,S63, 900 bushels against
53,872, 900 bushels for the correspond
ing period year ago. Although the
movement of corn for 1897 was 49,
747,0OO bushels, and the shipments
97,427 200 bushels an increase in the
receipts of 100000 bushels and in
100000 bushels in the shipments,
they were less than the arrivals of oats,
receipts of the latter being 1880
bushels in excess of corn, while the
shipments were 100000 bushels
greater, aggregating 1O4, 1866, 900 BUSH
els. The feeling in corn and oats is
bullish. There is strong disposition
on the part of many local traders to
keep on the long side. The Trego-
Smith people have accumulated big
line, and they are getting quite a fol-
lowing. Exports of corn for the week
were heavy.
