TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Oct. IS.
WHEAT-An unexpected advance at
Liverpool and light northwest receipts
strengthened wheat at the opening today.
The bulls made little effort, however, to
push their advantage and as calls had
been sold close to opening figures selling
against those privileges checked the ad-
vance almost Immediately. The freight
situation also encouraged liquidation but
as the session advanced the market be-
to take profits if the price moved a frac-
tiOn in their favor. December opened Il

THE SAN CARLOS TROUBLE.
Details of the Clash Between Indians
and o. S. Soldiers.

and q. S. Soldiers.
Globe, Ariz, Oct. 1S.-Information re-
garding the disturbance between negro
soldiers and Indians at the San Carlos
agency has been received as follows:
There has been friction between the
soldiers and the Indian police. and on
Friday night, October Is, q soldiers left
the post bent upon mischief. About half
their number went to the Tonic Indian
camp, situated below the officers quar-
terS near the Gila river, where insults
were offered the sQuaws. The insults
were resented by the Indian bucks, who
ordered the soldiers away from the
camp. There upon the soldiers attack
ed the Indians with clubs, beading four
OF them into insensibility and severely
in1uring several others. The Indians
while they showed a great deal of self
restraint, were nevertheless incenSed
over the unwarranted attack and the
bitter feeling has extended to other
camps involving all the Indians under
the supervision of the San Carlos
agency.
The Indians demanded the punish
ment of the soldiers who participated
in the assault, agreeing that if the cul-
prltS We're arrested and punishment
meted out to them the incident would
be closed; otherwise they would take
the matter into their own hands, and
threatening to exterminate the soldiers.
There are probably 1000 adult male In
dians at the agency, all armed, and the
consequences of an outbreak are viewed
with much apprehension. Thirteen sold
iers implicated in the assault upon the
Indians have been arrested and will
probably be held for trial in the United
States court. An Indian policeman who
was seriously injured by the soldiers
is not expected to live. His death might
greatly cOmplicate matters. The agent
and the commanding officers are doing
their utmost to quen the disturbance
and bring the culprits to justice.

FOOTPAD MEETS SHOPMAN.
Puts His Fingers In His Victims
Mouth With Unpleasant Results

An attempt was made about II o'clock
Monday night to hold up George Henry
of the Santa Fe blacksmithshOp, as he
was going home. The WOuld-be rObber
was scared away before he secured any
valuables or money, but he left his
hat as a little mementO of the occasion
in his haste to get away. Mr. Henry
has a farther souvenir of the hold up
in the shape of a bad cash in his head
where the robber hit him presumably
with the butt end of a revolver.
Mr.. Henry lives on Adams street be-
tween Second and First streets, and at
the time of the attempted hold-up was
going along Adams street and had just
passed Third street, when a man start
ed after him, coming from the Santa
Fe yards Mr.. Henry supposed that
he was one of the shOpmen and paid
very little attention to him. The man
followed Mr.. Henry until he got to a
dark place, when he rushed up and
threw his arms around Mr.. Henry s
neck, with one hand over his
mouth. The robber got two of his
fingers into Mr.. Henry's mouth,
and the blacksmith bit them so hard
that the robber was forced to let go,
but as he did so he struck Mr.. Henry
a blow over the head. Then he ran
away.
Mr. Henry cried to the man to stop,
but he only ran the faster, and the last
seen of him he was turning the corner
of Adams street on Fourth Mr.. Henry
picked up the robbers hat, which had
been dropped in the scuff1e, and tying
a handkerchief around the cut in his
head continued on his way home. The
hat is still waiting a claimant.

TWO CHURCHES A WEEK.
Organized During the Past Year by
the Disciples of Christ.

Cincinnati Oct. 18.-The jubilee mis-
sionary convention of the Christian
church reached the climax today when
the American Christian Missionary So
ciety continued its sessions in sections.
There are over Il, 900 visitors and many
from this city and vicinity. Music hall,
with a seating capacity of over $500,
is unable to accommodate the audiences
and other halls and churches are used
for the overflow meetings. The Odeon
Hall was used for the business session
with Dr. w. F. Richardson presiding.
Reports were heard from all the COM
mittees on different branches of the
work. At the main meeting in Music
Hall DR.. A. G. Thomas conducted the
opening exercises with G. e. Millard
as leader of the singing. The annual
address of President w. F. Richard
son was on Our Jubilee and Our Plea
The address of F. D. Power, on our
''Cities for Christ" and of A. NJ. Hag-
gard, of estate Missions to the Front"
were followed by general discussions.
In celebrating the hour of thanksgiving
for reaching a hundred thousand dol
lars the past year, for home missions,
c. B. Newman made the leading ad-
dress.
Corresponding Secretary Benjamin L.
Smith read his annual report, from
which the following was taken:
During the past half century $780,,
900 have been raised and expended for
missions, resulting in the organization
of 2,361 churches by missionary work
and the reception of 9S, $50 persons in
to the church by missionary agents.
There are As state Organiza tiOnS auxil-
larry to the general society and these
report 295, ,15S additions to the church
..nder their direction
The report shows that the last year
was the most prosperous of all. Two
new missionary churches have been or
ganized every week and 6,046 persons
have been received into the various
missionary churches. The board is
maintaining missions in sc different
states and have entered upon the work
of city evangelization in 46 cities.
The Christian church, the report
said enjoys the distinction of being the
first Protestant church to enter the
island of Porto Rico. J. A. Erwin went
there in November, 1885, and is carry
ing on a successful mission in San Juan
The work has been greatly enlarged
and the list of missionaries maintained
is a formidable one. Five gifts of $5.
600 each were given during the last year
as endowments of missionaries, the
home board agreeing in the name of
these funds to maintain a home mis-
sionary during all the years.
The society is out of debt and the
report stated looks to the future with
great promise of success. The fields of
Mexico and Canada and the foreign
populations are all asking attention
and will doubtless receive it.
The report recommended an evange-
Hstic movement throughout the church
to close the century and plans for a
thousand missionary revival meetings
to be held throughout the country dur
ing 1900.
The committee to select a place for
the next meeting has decided in favor
of Kansas City, Mo A strong effort
however, will be made to change the
report to Pittsburg.

The organizer could not get the Leav-

former fusion plans and he said:
1.-The Leavenworth Democrats would
barter their souls for an office. I will
not attempt an organization here. The
machine is against me and I won't

TAKE DOWN THE FLA"
A Woman Creates a Sensation
at the Anti-Imperialist
Meeting.

Chicago, Ill, October 1s.-Dur-
ing Rev. Mr.. Bigelow's speech at
the anti-imperialist meeting today a
sensation was caused by a stylishly
dressed woman who arose in the audi
ence and extending her gloved hand
toward the American flag which hung
suspended over the speaker, exclaimed;
Take down the flag, don't disgrace it
any longer"
She was hurried from the hall by
friend and as she left the building she
refused to give her name, but said she
was the sister of one soldier, daughter
of another and wife of another, all OF
them now fighting in the Philippines. A
declaration of principles was submitted
and unanimously adopted 1t denounced
liberty, as unconstitutional and as
tending toward militariSm- The policy
of the present national administration
is condemned and the immediate cesSa-
tion of the Philippine war demanded
Continuing he says; I'VE propose to
contribute to the defeat of any person
or party that stands for the fOrcible
subjugation of any people. We shall
oppose for reelection all, who in the
White House, or in congress, betray
American liberty in pursuit of un-
American ends. We shall hope that
both our great political parties will sup
dependence in the closing campaign of
the country The declaration closes
with an invitation for corporation OF
all men and women who remain loyal
to the declaration of independence and
the constitution of the United States.

an THRFE OAKS-
LIMIT IS REACHED.
Army Cannot Be Further Enlarged
Without Congressional Action.


Without Congressional Action.
Washington, Oct 1S.-At the war de-
partment today returns were received
which show that the full authorized
strength of the army has been reached,
and that 100000 men are now available
for any service required OF this force,
65, 600 men belong to the regular service
and $4,000 to the volunteer establish
ment.
Should it become necessary to further
increase the army, congress must act
before more troops can be secured. The
present army, under the law, can be
maintained until June 80, 1901, when it
returns to its normal strength.
Nearly One-ha1f of the enlarged army
has been recruited, armed and equip
ped since last June, when the first call
was issued for more troops; and of the
regiments enlisted for the campaign IN
the Philippines many have either been
landed in Manila or are on the way
there. 1t is estimated that Gen. Otis
has now under his command nearly 49,
600 men, and with the regiments now
on the way and those that will de-
part next month his strength by the
middle of December will approximate
6S, 900 rifles.
This is the army that the administra-
ton depends on to subdue the FilipinOs.
The movement of troops to Manila viii
continue without interruption, under
the programme arranged by the war
department, until every regiment as
signed to duty there has been trans
ported. Three of the regiments now
awaiting transportation viii go from
New York by way of the Suez Canal on
the transports Thomas, Logan and
Meade. These regiments are the 41sr,
47th and 43d.
There are 5000 men at San Fran
cisco ready for transportation-the
2Sth and 31st infantry, and 300 recruits
The ships available for these men are
the MananOnz, the Olympia and Vic
tOria, which are scheduled to sail this
week, and the Hancock on October %.
These vessels have an aggregate carry
ing capacity of 3,055 men and 120 Off
GERS.
The movement of twelve additional
regiments will also begin in a few days,
with the departure of the Pennsylvania
and the City of Pueblo, with more than
200 officers and men. Other ships are
to follow rapidly, so that by November
10, all the troops intended for the Phil
ippineS are expected to be on the way
thither.
The military authorities will wait
for the arrival of all these REINFORCE
ments before beginning the Luzon cam
paign, which, it is said now, will open
early in November with a general
movement against the enemy. Nor
does it seem probable that there will be
any change in the programme of main
tanning Gen. Otis in command of the
troops, with full authority such as he
has exercised since cen Merritt's de-
parture. The conduct Of the actual
fighting, however will deYolve on Gems.

BOOM FOR DIAZ.
Thousands of Citizens Join In a Man

City Of Mexico, Oct. 1s-Mrs. Diaz,
wife of the president, continues to i'm
prove in health although far from
strong yet. The yellow fever is de-
creasing at Vera Cruz on account of
the cooler weather and the better sani-
tary precautions. One yellow fever pa
tient has died at Cordoba, who had
tried treatment with Sanarelli's serum.
Several new cases have appeared at Or
izaba and a number of deaths from the
disease have occurred. A great mani
festatiOn for the reelection of Presi-

TRAIN SEIZED BY WASPS.
Passengers on a Connecticut Road
Have an Unpleasant Experience.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 1S.-A swarm
of wasps at Stamford held up" the pas
senger accommodation train. The train
was but few miles from New Haven
when the. venOmous little creatures had
issued from their nests behind the chan
deliers in great numbers and penetrated
every car in the train except the smoker.
Women rushed into the smoking car to
escape the stings. Men endeaVOred to
keep the wasps off by wildly waving their
hats. Windows and doors were thrown
open, but enough Wasps remained in the
train when it reached Stamford to neces-
state its side tracking and the dropping
OF the three infested cars.
