Cambridge and the Poets.

Cambridge has been always the home of
poets-a nest or nursery of singing birds.
1t has been said-and perhaps with a little
exaggeration Cambridge produced
the martyrs, while Oxford burned them,
and so it might be said that Cambridge
has cherished her poets, while Oxford
usually expelled them
Clough and Matthew Arnold are happy
exceptions, but Shelley was sent down
from the university for airing his atheist
ical opinions, and the Jacobin Landor had
to leave Trinity for firing gun across the
quadrangle at the windows Of his opposite
neighbor, who happened to be Tory J;
but, as matter of fact, nearly every Eng
lish poet worthy of the name who was at
q university at all was.--for q time at least
IA member of one or another of the coll
leges on the Cam. Chaucer's connection
with Clare this aSolere Hall . must, we
fear, be consigned to the region of ro-
nance, but Milton was undoubtedly at
Christ rs, and his mulberry tree is still the
object of attention III that charming little
garden the loYeliest thing in its way in
all Cambridge Blackwo0d.

TODAY's MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Dec. 2.-WHEAT-Liberal Ar
gentine shipments and rather bearish for
eign crop statistics exerted a downward
pressure on the wheat market today. May
opened &c under yesterday at 692sd6915
Liverpool advance of 1c had a steadying
effect and at the decline the market held
for some time. Trade was dull. Receipts
here 81 cars, 50 of contract grade. Min
neapOlis and Duluth reported 40 cars
against 3S5 last week and 7S6 a year ago.
Later in the session the market ad-
vanced a. trifie on covering by shorts and
on buying against puts, but trade did not
attain any activity. May closed 1sc under
yesterday at 695sd69Ac.
CORN was little easier with wheat
but as the market was very dull huctua-
lions were narrow for some time. May
opened 1sc down at 527sc. Receipts here
OATS were dull and featureless with
wheat, the influence. May opened 1sc
down at 233sc. Receipts here were 1855 cars.
PROVISIONS were quiet, opening a
shade down, May pork at Stops, May lard
at s.. 621a and May ribs at IS APP. At the
decline the market was steady. offerings
of eastern longs being taken by packers
and traders who bought presumably to
cover recent sales at advanced prices.

cal shortcomings as discovered on this
side of the Atlantic. MarcOni's attitude
toward the army was scarcely different
and the signal corps is going ahead on
a system of its own, which avoids the
Italians patents and already IS said
to be producing better results.
Rear Admiral Bradford believes that
some of the electrical experts of the
naval equipment bureau, if the Oppor-
tunity is given to them, will produce
apparatus to meet the peculiar condl-
lions of the navy without appreciable
expenditure, and in all probability the
experiments he desires will be ordered
One station will be located at the train
ing station and the other at the torpedo
school, on islands about a mile apart
and as progress is made other stations
can be set upon at various points IN
Newport harbor, where torpedo boats
are always available for experiments
with vessels in motion or for miniature
fleet evolutions. Several forms of ap-
paratus from American inventors have
already been submitted for test and
doubtless others will be received when
the work is actually successful.

BETTER THAN MARCONI'S.
Admiral Bradford Thinks His Method
Can Be Improved Upon.

New York Dec. PA special to the
Tribune from Washington, D. c., says:
Rear Admiral Bradford has asked
authority from the navy department
TO establish a bureau at the naval
training station at Newport for the de-
VelOpment of a naval system of wire

several officers having high electrical
knowledge at this station and to fur
nish facilities for study and experiment.
in the belief that something better than
MarcOni's apparatus may be devised.
The project to secure the A1arcOni Sys-
tenn for the navy has been practically
abandoned. In the first place, its range
was found to be exceedingly limited,
especially when vessels were rolling in a
sea way and their tOpmasts continuous

Then there was the insuperable OBJ
lection of Interference. two stations be-
ing unable to hold intelligent cOmmun-
icatiOn when a third station within
their circle of sensitiveness undertook
TO send a message to either point. This
defect destroys the value of the sys-
tenn where more than two ships cruised
in squadron or where an enemy chose
TO send disturbing messages. Finally
Marconi's terms of $4,000 for the first
year and $4,000 annually thereafter
We're regarded as eXOrbitant for the

declined absolutely to modify his prOpO-
sitiOn, which compelled the navy to
take twenty sets Of apparatus or more.
and to pay $500 outright for each set
and $500 a year each as royalty for their
use. He refused to send two or three
sets for experimental purposes and
gave American naval officers to under
stand that he did not care to do bust

Chicago, Dec. 22.-WH EAT-The open
ing trades in wheat were at decline of
Il cent from previous close apparently
for no other reason than that the stock
market showed a great deal of weakness
and financial circles were disturbed by
the failure in Boston. After the early
break rumors of a renewed demand for
cash wheat together with an advance in
both the United Kingdom and Continental
cables caused a sharp rally The Argen-
tine shipments, the Russian report and
the fact that investors would not come
after our wheat with present condition
of affairs existing. were put in free use
by the bears crowd but the undertone re-
mains the same and wheat seems to be
growing stronger each day. The close
shows but little change from opening
values.
CORN has been quiet within less than
a cent range all day but with the tone
steady. The western offerings have not
increased nor has the shipping demand
improved. Speculation has been very fiat
the market of the holiday sort and likely
to continue that way for some days.
OATS like other grains have been quiet
and rather easy within very narrow linn
its, prices are off about 1sc from Thurs
day. close. There is very little demand
on the one hand and very light receipts
on the other.
PROVISIONS which early in the day
yielded a little with grain rallied later on
buying which seemed to be for packers.
There was further commission house
selling Of January but the packers took
it all. J. F. HARRIS.

WIRE CUTTERS CAUGHT.
Two Men Taken In the Act In Cincin-
natl Suburbs.

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 22.-Anthony
Kilz and Ward Pordens1y were arrest
ed today on the charge of grand larceny.
They are held on the charge of cutting
the wires of the Postal and the West
ern Union Telegraph companies. Both
are junk dealers and it is claimed that
they have disposed of large quantities
of wire. Wire cutting has been going
on in the outskirts of this city for
months and the telegraph companies
apprehension of the guilty parties. This
reward has caused the detectives and
officers to give special attention to the
matter and the officials claim they have
the parties who have stolen miles of
copper wire. These two prisoners were
caught after midnight while loading
wire onto their wagon near Bond Hill
and there was such an exciting chase
that at first it was reported that one of
the men had been killed.

STATUE OF WEBSTER.
It VIII Be Unveiled at Washington
January ID.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The joint COM
mittee of senators, representatives and
citizens of the district appointed to
make arrangements for the unwilling
of the statue of Daniel Webster pre-
scented to the government by StilsOn
HUtchins, met today and perfected the
plans. The exercises will be held at
the Lafayette Opera House, January
Is. Senator Chandler of New Hamp-
shire will preside and Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts will deliver the adj
dress. President Mckinley will accept
the gift on behalf of the United States.
After the exercises at the theater, the
committee and the invited guests will
drive to Scott Circle, where the statue
will be unveiled.

is encouraging in the speculative situa-
ton in Wall street. While there Is much
to, cause hesitation on the part of those
who feel friendly to stocks a these UNI
usually low prices, the market shows so
little rallying power that the shreWdesr
judges view with anxiety the immediate
outcome. 1t is the opinion of many trad
ers that further shrinkage ia values IS
certainty unless the tenor of the news
and the temper of the street undergo q
marked change for the better The eX-
cessive weakness of the sO-called Flower
stocks causes much comment That fore
ed liquidation is going on in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit is no longer disputed This
property, so it is reaiably stated has
passed into the control Of the Wander
bits. Nothing but forced liquidation alone
could have had such an effect upon Peo-
pies gas and Rock Island, both excellent
securities and admittedly worth consid-
erably more than current quotations a
decisive victory by the English army In
South Africa is the only thing that can
check the feeling of anxiety and unrest
that now exists in London The street
has been so absorbed with other matters
that the bank statement has received
very little attention. A decrease in the
reserve is looked for and loans are sure
TO show a large decrease. Until the fog
disappears it will be safe to sell stocks
on rallies as there is no vigorous support
likely to develop in any direction until
after the New Year. r. N HUDSON

I'VE DON'T CARE"

Now Say.
He Will Get That $4,000 Per
Year Anyhow.

Their Own to Use.

Spite of President Mckinley.

ut makes no difference whether the
president approves the Chickasaw bill
creating an attorneyship; or whether
he rejects it. Mr.. Burton viii get his
$1,000 per year just the same"
This remark was made recently in
Topeka by Pete Foley, who claims TO
have been responsible for the enact
ment of the law by which the job whlcn
Mr. Burton was to have was created
Mr.. Foley is quoted as having further
said: The council representing the In
dian nation has local funds over which
the government exercises no control
From these moneys MT Burton will be
paid if the law is not approved by the
president.
The Indians can employ Mr.. Burton
and pay him outside of the regulations
provided by the government and this IS
what viii be done in the event Mr.. Bur-
ton is turned down at Washington
These remarks on the part Of Foley
are taken to mean that Burton viii not
be deprived of the 5000 per, even
though the president has declined to
approve the bill creating the position.
1t is taken also to mean that the deal
has been made whereby the official
sanction OF the powers controlling the
Indians is not necessary when a kan
sas politician wants job
BurtOn's enemies finished him before
the president at Washington and they
are watching closely to see if the threat
that he will have the job anyhow, is
may count on more trouble because the
fellows who are opposing him are after
him in earnest. The fight is not one of
nOn-resistance now, but the opposition
is training his heavy guns on the Bur
ton strOnghOlds and a constant fire of
opposition is being maintained.
on the other hand Burton has adopt
ed a cOnciliatOry policy. He is not Op-
posing the denomination of men who
served in the last legislature, even
though they are opposed to his election
TO the senate. But, where such cOndi-
lions exist Burton is cultivatfng these
men very much
The Burton people are very indignant
at the defeat of their candidate for the
Indian attOrneyship. They charge Sen
atOr Baker with the responsibility
thereof. but other politicians claim Ba-
ker had nothing to do with it. It is
said that the policy of the administra-
ton is opposed to this policy of Great

unnecessary legal services and that the

and the decision in the joint traffic as
sOciatiOn case, we think the evidence
will warrant such proceedings as the
action of said official classification COM
mittee is CLEARLY inviolatiOn of the
federal statute known as the Sherman
antitrust act"
For some time the attorneys for the
shippers argued in favor of the com
mittee taking the suggested action,
Chairman Knapp of the committee
no more authority to make recOmmen-
datiOns t. the attorney general than
had representatives of the shippers.
The committee had no objection to fur
nish to the attorney general at the sug-
gestiOn of shipping interests a trans
cript of the evidence addUced at the
hearing together with the petition Of
the shippers for action under the anti
trust law.
The attorneys for the shippers offered
to furnish testimony showing that the
operation of the new classification
would be in restraint of trade and to
that extent a violation of existing law.
1t was determined finally that the ship
perS would offer some testimony and
b. W. Brown, representing Schofield,
Schurmer & Teagle of Cleveland, o.,
was sworn He said the new classified
ton on petroleum would be absolutely
ruinOuS to small shippers. On less than
carload lots, the increase above the
rates on carload lots was in some in
stances as much as 273 per cent and in
no case was it less than So per cent.
Mr.. Brown said the small shippers of
oil could not successfully compete with
the Standard Oil company because the
rates given the Standard on carload
lots We're so much less than the small
shippers could get on less than car
load lots that the latter practically were
shut out of much territory.
Mr.. G. H. De COyliar, a carriage man
ufacturer of Cincinnati, testified tN at
the proposed increase in classification
Of vehicles would limit Ohio and Mis-
sissippi valley carriage manufacturers
to territory adjacent to their factories
and that it would be destructive of
competition throughout the country.
This closed the testimony and the
hearing was adjourned.
