A CREASED MARKET
Pork and Lard Go to Keep Com
pany With Wheat.

Chicago, May 1.-THE bulls on the
board of trade today transferred their
attention from the wheat pit to pro-
visions. Assisted by the heavy outside
buying, July pork was advanced soc
per barrel; July lard Csc tierce and
July ribs 45c per 100 pounds. The ad-
vance in lard was attributed to heavy
buying by Armour and Cudahy. Heavy
sales by packers to the government for
army use was at the bottom of the bull
movement.
Closing figures were at the top for
the day. July wheat at the close show
ed a loss of 315c and May &C.

Chicago receipts today: Wheat, 246 cars;
corn, 547 cars; oats, 235 cars.
Gables: Wheat I'D, corn 11sd lower.

last year, 1886 cars.

New York: The first important road re-
porting for the first week of May presents
earnings, of a most fiattering magnitude.
Reference is made to the st. Paul, show
ing gross earnings of 100000, against
1929, 1877 in the corresponding week of 1897
and $685. 416 in 1896. One has to go back
to the great time of five years ago to find
an excess over the st. Pauls current
earnings for time past. In the last.
month or two some of the large railroad
systems have not made gain in net earn
ings fairly proportionate to the increase
in gross. This has been ascribed to ex-
penditures for improvements and repairs
and partly to the effect of rate cutting.
The thought is suggested that if the roads
can do well in the general scramble for
tonnage, what kind of revenues would
they astOnish US with if the controlling
powers compelled them to observance of
reasonable rate schedules.

TEN MEN INJURED
Because One of Them Lighted His
Pine,

Cleveland, O., May 11.-Ten men were
injured by an explosion of gas today in
the new water works tunnel under the
lake. The diggers were 6.300 feet from
shore.
The explosion was caused by one of the
men striking a match to light his pipe In
Stantly there binding flash of flame
and a terrific roar, filling the tunnel with
smoke and binding the diggers. An
alarm was at once sent to the power house
on shore and a relief expedition was or
gained among other workmen for the
rescue of their comrades. Blackened
blinded and stunned the injured men were
carefully transported to the shaft and
thence conveyed by ambulanceS to hos
pitfalls.

greater hardship that can befall .
nation than the supine submission to
wrong" WAS accompanied by Secre-
tary Olney's previously written as
sertion. "the United States is today
practically sovereign on this CONT
nent, and its fat is law" Can any
one find a soul-inspiring sentence in
President McKinley's message or the
administration correspondence that
will 20 down to posterity? 1t is all
policy; 1t is previously weak; it is
keenly disappointing. Rather would
we pin our faith in such an hour as
this to that intrepid grand old DEM
ocratic statesman, Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee. who, as he departed from the
hostile harbor at Havana, cent back
q hot message to those who ]eered
him as he left, because he was an
American: You may tell Gen.
Blanco for me that the Fern Is the
last ship Of the American navy that
will ever 60 out of Havana har-
Dor while the Spanish flag flies
over Moro" And later he
sent this message to BIanco: "You
have broken every promise made me.
We have been whistled at and in
suited as we 60. We will return and
your whistle will be that of another
tune" Beneath the shadow of Moro
castle someone brought out bottle
of champagne and glasses, and Gen.
Lee gave this toast: "Here is to the
officers and men Of the Maine, which
was blown up by Spanish mine"
This awakened the true spirit OF
even . foreign subject. and in re.
spending. Mr.. Ackers, an English.
man, said: MAY SO guns speak for
each of the Names dead, and may
each gun mean so Spanish lives
That is the talk for q moment such
as this. 1t may have been q little
too impromptu for a presidential
utterance. but 1t had the right ring
to it. The statements of Lee were
prompted by the same spirit of re-
sentiment Of wrong and outrage upon
the American union that inspired thu
patriotism of Patrick Henry, Of
Thomas Jefferson, of Andrew Jack
son and of Abraham Lincoln.
The time has passed for parley,
We have taken off our coats to fight,
and we must carry out our attitude
unless our adversary voluntarily re
tires. 1t is not an evidence OF ma
tural Pugnacity to be ready to figh

Presidentisl supp,iostion,

President McKinley's message to
congress, anent the situation that has
come about id the relations between
this country and Spain cannot fail to
be o great disappointment to the
average American. The document
is without those elements that have
ever been characteristic of American
state papers, especially as the fore.
runner Of new stand on the part Of
this government before the world.
Politics aside, 1t is absolutely with
out syllable that would arouse the
enthusiasm Of even the most ardent
republican. 1t is simply an exhorta-
ton accompanying the shifting Of
responsibility. 1t is q suppl
cation that should not take the place
Of firm. unmistskabIe declaration of
duty discharged fearlessly by the
executive and Of expectancy Of SINH
lar attitude on the part Of
the legislative branch Of the
government. Il is neither the hsr-
binger Of peace nor is 1t portentous
OF war. There is nothing In it to
awaken the pride Of our own people.
or to awe the world. 1t is under
laid with the evasive tone 30 re-
markable in corporation uttersnces
wherein 1t is sought to convey one
thing and mean another, and always
leaving one carefully guarded loop
hole to creep out Of. In weakness oil
