higher, something of a surprise, in view OF
the break here yesterday. There was Iaore
liqu dation and early some influential local
selling. The seaboard reported 50 ioSis
for export.
Oats were decidedly steady, with I'M
vsanged cash demand. The market held
own. even with corn when 1t was weak.
Receipts were large. however. There was
some talk at the seaboard OF demand
from Russia This should be taken with
allowances. The seaboard was the best
buyer.
Provisions-The report of two cases OF
yellow fever in Florida caused weak and
lower opening in provisions with consid-
erabe selling by miscellaneous longs. The
packers bought the list freely. Shippers
bought against cash sales The cash de-
rand was good. The market closed firm
at partial recovery. Today's scare seems
to have had its full effect.

activity in the stock market yesterday
morning, in which real buying Of securities
seemed 10 be taking place, in addition TO

The Rock Island net earnings state
ment for June showed an increase OF Sob
800. This completes the record OF the
grangers for the month. st. Paul is the
only system in the group that showed
decrease in the net Atchison had an inn
,neuse Increase, and Rock Island and Bur-
lington both creditable ones. With wheat
and corn news good, with earnings con-
tinuing excellent, and with money easy,
the present prices of the grangers are con-
sidered entirely too low by many compe-
tent market critics.

There was buying of the Pacific seeuri-
ties for London and on this side. Union
Pacific is looked upon with much favor on
account of its intrinsic merit as 4 per
cent stock. and also as speculative ven
ture, because il is selling so much lower
than Baltimore and Ohio common. The
price yesterday advanced to so Ia, and
closed at SO rs. Northern Pacific adj
vanced to - is ard closed at 81 rs. Mis-
souri, Pacific advanced to 80 rs and closed
at the Top. Southern Pacific was strong.

vance 10 10 1-2 and a close at 112, with
an important net gain. Burlington ad-
vanced to l27 Ia and closed at 126 rs,
and Rock Island advanced to 107 and clos
ed at JOG ga. Atchison preferred advanc-
ed to 20 3-S and closed at 20 Ii. The
St. Paul statement of the fourth week of
July, showing an increase of SS4,47S, was
one cause of the bouyancy of the group
and the Rock Island June statement was
another. The st. Paul statement was
surprise generally, as the street has be-
gun to look for a decrease of earnip IS
every week from the company recently.
The increase cuts down the decrease in
gross for the entire month TO S164,OOo
1t is never well to expect st. Paul to make
a bad showing.

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

Gen. Sir Rsdvers Buffers artillery
was bombarding the Boer trenches
north of the Tugela river at Potgieter's
drift, Natal, yesterday. This move is
regarded In London as preliminary to a
battle. 1t is rumored that the battle
has already begun, but there is no con-
firmation of this. A Durham dispatch
states that British wounded are arriv-
ing at the Moot river field hospital.
An official dispatch from General
Butler, forwarded through General
Roberts. at Capetown, confirms the
report of the bombardment. The
heaviest guns which are doing the
work are stationed on Mount Alice,
south OF Potgieter's drift and 16 miles
west OF Colenso, which was recently
the main Boer position.
la their advance movement General
Buffers troops were accompanied by
5000 vehicles carrying his supplies.
This is regarded as possible element
OF weakness.
General Butler has issued an appeal
to his troops saying "There will be no
turning back"
Charles E. Macrum, former United
States council at Pretoria. has arrived
at Naples on his way to New York. 1t

day the couple sailed for New York

The brokers who gave information
concerning Count de Castellane's losses
on the Bourse refuse to allow the use

OF the House this morning took up the in
vestigatons Of the charges that polygsmists

venor, OF Ohio, made sweeping denial OF the
charges that he had intmated to Lentz' of
Ohio, that the letters in the case would no
longer be found on file at the Postotfice De-
psrtment He said, IL certainly should never
have made such a statement 10 Mr.. Leuix,
the bitterest enemy of tie President" Post
master General Smith testified that in the
Provo case no charges had ever been pre-
ferred, while the charge against Smith at Lo-
gan was made in letter to the President re.
days after the nomination had been sent to
the Senate. Congressman Lentz explained
that no would have been present earlier but
he had misunderstood the hour of meeting,
General GrosveDor's statement was read to
him and Mr.. Lentz reiterated the statement
he had made at the last meeting. He denied
thst it was a private conversation but insisted
that is was public talk on a public subject
between public men. There were exchanges
Of compliments between the two men, who
said that they "had nothing against each other
but each despised some Of the others ways"
On suggestion of Mr. Griggs OF Georgis, that
the bar is on the other side, they left the COM

Clemenson letter. No doubt it was received,
but at no time prior to the confirmation of
the nomination was attention called to IL by

the next meeting. Tuesday, what clerks
handled the missive. Another letter en-
bodying charges, is on file, but Chairman
Loud, of the executive committee, declined to
make it public in advance OF Tuesdays meet

received by this government in an official Ca
caeity when he shall call there. He is now

1t is said here that il the bill nov before

FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. 10. 1900

THIS is the anniversary OF the birth
day of General Lee and will be cele-
brsted everywhere in the Soutl'. Wise
nations do nothing to commemorate
their int rnicine troubles, but this ls not
a wise one, and as in the North every
thing that can be conceived Of is done to
perpetuate the memory of the war be-
tween the States, from statues 10 every
public square in the national capital to
monuments to John Brown and Fred
Douglass in Northern States. it is only
natural that the birthday OF the most
distinguished military man OF his time
should be honored by the people for
whom he gave up all but his honor and
his life. and would have gladly sur
rendered the latter If by doing so he
could have secured the success OF DIS
country's cause, and especially should
II be in Alexandria, his county town,
where he went to school and attended
church, ard within few miles OF which
his wife and his children were born and
raised. Of General Lee it may truly
be said that he "stood iccnr square 10
all the winds that blow" He re l'ecIeu
credit not only upon his State, but upon
the American people.
