CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Wheat fell again to-
day under the influence Of accommodating
stocks, and December closed with loss
Of 12Q5sc. Corn declined 1sqAc and oats
&c Provisions were strong and closed
unchanged to 10Q12lac higher.
Small Argentine shipments and higher
cables, Notwithstanding the decline here
yesterday, started wheat at a fractional
advance over last nights close. Shorts
were apprehenSiVe for the moment be-
cause Of some excitement in England over
the TranSvaal situation, and some cover
ing resulted. Liquidation on the bulge be-
came so excessive, however, that the de-
mand was withdrawn and then turned
suddenly weak. From that point until
the end the course was downward. Put
figures were reached without making any
opposition, and this fact alone added i'm
petus to the selling movement. The main
factor Of weakness was the rapid increase
in the domestic visible, the indications be-
ing that an addition of over 100000
bushels would be made during the week
Light clearances, slow cash demand and
the reported improved condition of winter
wheat also had a depressing effect. De-
cember opened 1s@Ac higher at 69Q69Bc
advanced TO 69ls069Ac, declined TO 6S14c,
and closed at 6SA G6S3sc.
Chicago received 1873 cars, twenty-three
of which graded contract Minneapolis
and Duluth got us cars, compared with
643 the same day last week, and 1042
year ago. Total Western primary re-
ceIpts were $4,000 bushels, against 1,444,-
000 bushels last year. Atlantic port clear
Rrces in wheat and flour eQualed 226, 600
bushels. Argentine shipments Of wheat
during the week were $4,000 bushels,
against 1,0720 600 a week ago, and none the
corresponding week last year. The crop
outlook in that country was still pro-
nCCpced excellent, with the indications
that fully S00G0 zoe bushels would be avail
able from this seasons yield for export
Diminishing country offerings, owing to
continued wet weather, strengthened corn
early. An advance of I'D at Liverpool
also encouraged buying, but the market
Gaally yielded under heavy liquidation, in
duced by a poor cash demand and reports
of a serious blockade at Buffalo. The
market was active throughout, but clos
ed weak at the bottom. Receipts ga cars.
December opened 14c higher at 311sqS1Ac,
advanced to 3llz d3lssc, and declined to
S03sc at the close
Oats followed other grains There was
no special feature to the trade, however,
prices ruling easy within narrow limits.
Receipts, lS2 cars. Shipping demand slack.
December opened &c higher at 226sQ224c,
declined TO 222sc, and closed at 22ssQ2212c.
Provisions were slow and firm. Liberal
shipments and a steady decrease in stocks
encouraged buying of ribs and pork, and
substantial gains were scored. At the
close January pork was 10@1212c higher at
$9.7OQ9. 7212; January lard unchanged at
S5.25. and January ribs 213@5c higher at

England, was. in its inception without the
pale of Roman jurisdiction. Indeed it is
satisfactorily established that the British
bishops themselves acknowledged the author
ity of st. Augustine, and whatever opposi-
ton was shown to the Roman missionary was
dictated-as may be inferred from Gildas
the historian-by an unwillingness to submit
to the reforming measure which St. Angus
tine proceeded to enforce. These and other
historical arguments of equal value Bishop
Tuttle should dispose of IN scholarly man
ner before he again ventures upon the as
founding statement that the Church of Rome
is an offshoot of the Church of England
Not less astounding is Bishop Tuttle's state
ment that, There are scores of churches in
America, and some whose bishops who can
not be true Americans, because they owe
their first allegiance to pontiff in foreign
land"
Obviously this attack is leveled against the
Catholic church. Students of history are
aware that the Catholic church always stood
for human liberty. Dean Church, whose au-
thority in this matter Bishop futile will be
the first to recognize, says that the ministers
OF the church, in the middle ages were rep
resentat1ves, not of religion only and the
claims of God, but of moral order of the
rights of conscience and the sympathies of
men, of the bonds of authority of human So
ciety-the only trusted guides of life Is it
not one of the plainest facts of history that
Catholic prelates frequently exerted their
powerful influence towards wrestling from ty-
rannical monarchs charters of liberty for the
people?
Father McNulty then quoted authori-
ties on the position of the Catholic
church and the cause of liberty in all
ages, and concluded as follows:
After all the insnuation Of dsloyalty comes
with bad grace from one whose church seems
10 nave been hampered to say the least by
foreign allegiance. 1t iii becomes an Episco-
pal bishop to journey to a city like St Paul.
noted for religious harmony, and to seek to
revive a spirit of distrust by bending the
facts of history and to Guido the ignorant
A-P-Aists by linking Catholics with commu-
nsts.

recommended by the Minnesota
Senators for Marshalship.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Senators
Davis and Nelson have decided to rec
ommend William H. Grimshaw for
United States marshal. The senators
were in conference nearly two hours
before a decision was reached. At the
conclusion of the conference senator
Davis said that he and Senator Nelson
had made a thorough canvass Of the
situation, examining all the papers of
the applicants and finally concurred in
recommending William H. Grlmshaw.
After considering all the facts Senator
Davis said he concluded that he could
not recommend either Warner oar Shee-
han, and Minneapolis therefore wins IN
the person of Grimshaw. Stephen
Picha, of St. Paul, has been selected
as chief deputy to Mr.. Grimshaw.
Representative Stevens will leave the
city tonight for Old Point Comfort. He
will return to Washington in about
week and shortly thereafter leave for
home. -5
