Boston Wool Sales.

Boston, September 14.-The tone of
the wool market has been quiet during
the past week, although prices have
held strong. There is no prospect of
lower prices, as no feeling exists among
dealers that higher figures will be OBJ
tainable before the end of the year.
There have been several big transac-
tions in territory woods on the secured
basis of 50@52c for fine medium and
fine, with staple lines running as high
as 55@57c. Fleece WOODS are firm but
sales only moderate. Moderate offer :

THE CITY COUNCIL.
A Meetiie at Which Routine Business
Was Trnsacted.

A meeting of the city council was
held last night, routine business only
being transacted. Rev. S. L. Barker
was granted permission to erect an
adobe dwelling house in the vicinity f
the adobe -four mill in the northwest
part of the city.
A resolution was passed calling upon
interested property owners to adjust
buildings and fences to the proper line
on the west side of Grand avenue, ex-
tending from the San Miguel bank to
Mackel's pavilion.
) A petition signed by msjority Of
the property owners concerned, asking
for the construction of cement side
walk on the north side of Douglas
avenue, between Sixth and Seventh
streets, was presented and referred.
], w. collars appeared before the
council in behalf of the proposed pri-
gate sewer line He explained thhi..t the
persons interested desired some finan-
clal assistance in putting the enterprise
through and suggested that the city
take hand in the construction of the
same. 1t transpired In the course of
Mr.. collars interview that the esti-
mates originally made of the cost of
the system proved to be about $4O0
less thau the lowest bidders were will
ing to construct the line for, the total
cost being upwards of $1,000. This
difference, Mr.. collars thought, might
be made good by the city. Another
suggestion made by parties intert sted
was to the effect that ell subscriptions
should be turned over to the city and
the latter take up the construction
work. The entire matter was laid over
for future meeting.
The council went into executive ses-
sion and spent the balance of the even.
ing behind closed doors.

The Chicago Conference.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-The second day s
session of the trust conference opened
with William Writ Howe of New Or
leans, in the chair, and a falling off in
attendance of both the delegates and
spectators. Chairman Howe put be-
fore the house resolution introduced
by f. G. Farr of Missouri, for the ap-
pointment of a committee on resolu-
tions. He called for a committee of
fifteen to be selected by Chairman
Howe. To this committee all resolu-
tions, according to Fdrr, were to be
referred without reading or debate. The
motion developed an undercurrent OF
strife between factions for and against
the trusts. Various speakers vigor-
Ously argued the resolution should be
amended to allow that appointments to
the committee should be made by the
delegates themselves, one committee
man from each state. An amenGm ant
IN regard to the manner of appointment
was carried by standing vote of SO to
IL.
Upon the suggestion of w. Bourke
Cochran, it was finally decided that
the committee on resolutions consist

each state delegation but from each
national organization. To this oom
mittee it was resolved that all reso
1utions be referred without reading OF
debate. 4at
Lawson Purdy of the New York
tariff reform club opened the tariff
debate, speaking in part as follows;
81 do not contend the only cause for
a combination which restrains trade
is the tariff but the tariff does foster
and assist in maintaining such combi
nations.
John F. Scanlan of Illinois, took
up the cudgel on behalf of the protee-
tionists. He said it was brave man
who, after the experience of the last
few years, would advocate the policy
of free trade. Congressman Thomas
Updegraff of Iowa, followed in defense
of the protective tariff system. il s
A paper by Horatio w. Seymour
publisher of the Chicago Chronicle
was read by John H. Hopkins. Sey'
mour said the trusts should be de
stroyed by a repeal of the tariffs
which foster them and by the enforce
ment OF criminal laws. ia

TAKING TESTIMONY.
The WeIls-Fareo CO. has Claim Against
the Government.

The Wells-Fargo express company
has an Indian depredations CLAIM
against the United States government
dating back to the days when its
coaches ran to all the various mining
and trading camps on the great plains
Of the west. The government-or
more properly speaking, the court try.
ing the claims-is taking evidence in
the case and in order to expedite mat
ters all the parties interested are trav-
cling through the west. stopping at
various places to take the depositions
of witnesses who are stiIl living
The government is represented by
Charles Allen of Illinois, who acquired
little notoriety recently by introduc-
ing a bill in. the Illinois legislature,
giving fifty year franchise to the
Chicago street railways, and the
Wells-Fargo company is represented
by Isaac r. Hit of Washington.
Mr.. Hit is accompanied by his son.
All the gentlemen named were in
Las Vegas for several days this week,
taking testimony before United
States Commissioner Strausberry.
They left yesterday afternoon on the
late train for Albuquerque, where they
will continue the taking of evidence.
There are comparatively few wit
nesses left around Las Vegas. One
of these is Mike Slattery, who handled
the ribbons in days agone on one of
the Wells-Fargo stages. The attor-
neys also consulted with other old
timers, among whom is Colonel La
Rue, secretary of the cattle sanitary
board.
The amount of the claim of the
WellsFargo company is not known.
Mr.. Hit was asked a direct question
ON this point but refused to give the
information, saying:
Q 1.-THE Wells-Fargo company isa't
that anxious to have its business af-
fairs known" .l.4
1t is reasonable to suppose, however,
that the claim is not a small one.
John Veeder, a member of the law
firm of Veeder & Veeder of this city,
accompanied the visitors on the trip
to Albuquerque yesterday afternoon.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-The Transvaal's

It's nature is not yet known. 1t was re.
garded of significant nature, however
The Boer reply was communicated to
the commander-in chief, Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley, who Immediately sum-
moned General Sir George Stewart
White, V. c., former quartermaster
general and prospective commander of
the British forces in the Natal.
AT 3:20 II. m. today South African
advices continue TO be of the most con-
flictlng nature, regarding the tenor of
President Kruger's answer to Mr..
Chamberlain. The morning Post, in a
second edition, prints special dispatch
from Pietermaritzburg, capital of the
Natal, saying the reply is "iruculent,
loquacious and blasphemous.'
The Manchester Guardians corres-
poDdent at Cape Town telegraphs the
outlook is of the gloomest character.
The Cape Town papers take more
hopeful view of the situation, basing
their views on the probable acceptance
by President Kruger of the franchise
measures suggested in Chamberlain's
latest dispatch. But even they admit
that it is impossible to learn or FORE
shadow Kruger's attitude to ward the
suZerainty of Great Britain, which,
after all, is still the main issue.
PRESIDENT WILL NOT OFFER.
WASHINGTON, September IA Mot
withstanding the sugg estion of Bourke
Cochran, President Mckinley has no
intention of proffering mediation in the
Transvaal dispute.

LONDON, Sept. IA The consul gen.
eral of the South African republic,
Montague White, said today: 81 have
good authority for believing ihe Trans
vaal's reply will be unsatisfactory to

received by Chamberlain today. it is
now said, was probably information re-
gHrdIng the nature of the Boer reply.
The text of the reply will probably not
be received for several days.
