HOGS WERE HIGHER
Receipts Very Light but the
Demand Good.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.90
Better Quality of Hogs Would
Bring More,

The receipts Of hogs at the Union
stock yards yesterday were light and the
demand strong. The top price was $3.50,
and the market ruled active all day. Had
the quality been as good as the receipts
Of Wednesday, there is every reason to
think that the too price would have
Seached at least a.s5. At the close it
WAS steady. Dold was the principal
purchaser, but Armour and Nashville
both bought actively.

their present attitude is one of antagonism
to the trusts. and that the latter, who COM
PEELED them to abandon the policy of free
trade with Porto Rico, have always wanted

contrary is complete. and the evidence is
conclusive and damning that the nefarious

bargain and sale of national honor, the
Constitution of the United States and Off

SAVANNAH. April 3.-In the United
States Court this Afternoon the grand jury
made a special presentment in the con-
spiracy case of Greene, Carter, ct al,
brought by the United States. asking that
Congress amend the laws of the United
States so that something could be done to
bring men indicted by United states grand
juries from one State tc another without
such lengthy delays. The presentment,
after reciting the cases. says:

But, after all, thoughtful people are often
inclined to wonder whether the mere con-
tinuance of life is to be considered bless

occupations into which old people may en-

light home employment away from them.
In addition TO this, there are various ner-
vous diseases which too often wreck per-

property along the Texas Mexican from
tier than could in any other way be ac-

The action of Mexico in Torres case
is interesting and important in that 1t
is the first arising under the new extradi-
tion treaty between Mexico and the Uni
