Corn occupies a very strong position.
in our opinion. The stock of corn in Chi
cage elevators and boats in the harbor
on January 49, 1900, were 4.600O00 bushels
less than a year ago. Total stocks of
corn in the visible supply January q,
1909, show II, 100000 bushels less than a
year ago. From July 1st 1899, to date.
we have exported S1,OOO.OOO bushels more
corn than for the same period the pre-
ViouS year, while the price in Chicago IS
sc a bushel less than it was a year ago.
There is practically no corn in cribs at
country stations. The supplies remaining
in the country are largely in the hands
of the producers. Farmers generally are
not marketing their corn freely. The bulk
of the corn that is being marketed is
being absorbed by feeders. In the terri
tory west of the Mississippi river our ad-
vices indicate twenty percent more cattle
being fed than q year ago. The period
when country roads break up is less
than four weeks distant, to be followed
almost Immediately by farm work, thus
shutting off any chance for a corn move
ment until later in the summer. So. with
out attaching any Importance to unfavor-
able spring weather conditions which may
become a factor in the market, we feel
that corn on its merits should sell higher.

both this meaning and TINS purpose.
some of them who had been arrested by
the local police for carrying deadly
weapons and for disorderly conduct
were, in advance of trial, pardoned by
the de facto governor. The snot that
killed Mr.. Goebel was fired from an
upper window of the executive office,
which SWarmed with the armed ad-
herents of the de facto governor. Ad-
mission to this building was at once
denied the civil authorities; Gordon
of troops was thrown about it; and
there, under the pretense OF being in a
state of siege, the de facto governor
has ever since held himself voluntary
prisoner though surrounded by the state
militia, called out by himself, and 1ssu-
ing thence proclamations disbanding
the general assembly and transferring
the seat of government of the common
wealth.
"All this while the contestants before
the legislature were proceeding strictly
in accordance with the laws OF contest,
as old as the constitution OF the state,
with not the least threat OF violence, or
show of disorder There was positively
no thought of insurrection, outside the
imagination of the governor. BY his
orders, the general assembly of the COM
mOnwealth has been denied access to its
chambers in the state capitol, close by,
members have been chased through the
streets of Frankfort from one place to
another, seeking a legislative abiding
place; and by his orders the processes of
the courts of law, including the writ Of
habeaS corpus, are denied service, and
the lawful procedure of the peace Off
GERS has been put at defiance, whilst
martial law has taken the place of the
cival law and on these lines an armed
conflict is invited.
This is the exact situation in Ken
lucky. I give it in answer to numerous
kilograms and letters from all parts of
the country asking it. I have no party
interest to serve. 1 am not now and
have not been for years in active fell
lowship with the leaders of my own
party; and my sole purpose is to repre-
sent to the sober sense and good feeling
of all parties that the condition of af-
fairs in Kentucky is not that of force
against force, justifying a certain neu-
traIity in public opinion but that of a
military usurpation unwarranted by law
against what the law writers call the
peace and dignity of the common
wealth. "

ACRISIS IN CHICAGO.
Outlook Is That All Building
Operations will Cease.

Chicago, Feb. Sat meeting of the
building trades held here today labor
difficulties reached what is thought to
be a crisis. The business agent of the
Hold Carriers and Building Laborers
union was ordered to call off men at
work on every building in Chicago
where the new rules of the building
contractors council were posted. AS
nearly every firm of building contrac-
tors in Chicago is bound by the rules
of the contractors council, this means
that 5000 men will be ordered to strike.
In addition to this number 5000 car
penters it is asserted will walk out next
Saturday. On that day the carpenters
will take their usual half holiday Sat
urday, which it is claimed is contrary
to the new rules formulated by the
contractors council. AS this will, it
is asserted. be looked upon by the con-
tractors as a strike, the business agent
at the meeting today was instructed to
inform the men not to resume work
the following Monday. This action was
preceded by the independent action on
the part of the plumbers union, which
called off it's members earlier in the
day. Two thousand plumbers refused
to go to work. A fierce struggle for
supremacy between employers and en-
DlOVeS is expected.

legislature to be held at London. The
Democrats state that they were given
to understand that the session at Lon
don would be abandoned and that the

Tor who was difficult of access early in
the day announces positively that the
London session will not be abandoned,

He, however, gives no Indication of an

-Adjutant General Collier who has ever

declaring Frankfort in a state of insur

understood this morning that no at
tempt would be made to prevent any
such proceeding. He called attention to
the fact that no demand to meet in the
capitol building had been made by
the Democratic members since Satur>
day and in reply TO a question as to
whether he would allow them to meet
if they desired to do so, replied:
1T is ample time to climb that noun

short session of the Democratic mem

morning, the only understanding being
that they were to meet in the capitol

ANOTHER COLLIER.
Manager of Otis Skinner No Relation
to "The Man From Mexico"

Mr. Walter Collier. manager of the
Otis Skinner company, who is in this
city today, sufficiently resembles Willie
Collier, the actor, to be a brother. In
fact, different people in different parts
of the United States think Mr.. Collier
is related to the Man from Mexico"
the nearness extending from brother to
thirty-second cousin. This is due to
the fact that in order to save discus
likeness the theatrical manager is in
the habit of telling people that he is
related to the actor. The relationship
is made to vary at will.
If Mr.. Walter Collier was a brother
of Mr.. Willie Collier his name would
not be Collier at all. This not at all

Her secured his family name from his
stepfather. His mother remarked
when he was young, and he has since
been known by the name of Collier.
