DUTY VERSUS INCLINATION.
Should obey the Writ Of Habeas
Corpus, but Does Not Feel
Disposed to Do So.

Quebec, May 17.-Mr. Parent, pre-
mier of this province, acting as at
torney-general in the absence of Mr..
Archambault, is of the opinion that
Magistrate La Fontaine should obey
the orders on the writs of habeas
corpus in the Green and Gaynor case
which were served in Montreal yes
terday morning, and the same view
appears to be taken by Mr.. Archam-
bault, who is in Montreal. The de-
partment here is very reticent, but
it is known that instructions have
been given to Magistrate La Fontaine
to obey the order of the writs and
have the men returned here. Magis-
trate La Fontaine. as clerk of the
peace, is provincial employe, but as
extradition judge he is a federal Off
Ger, and, it is rumored, that he does
not feel disposed to obey the instruc-
tions received from here.

The Spanish statesman who de-
clared, recently, that his country had
been benefited by the result of the
war of 1898 is probably correct. Spain
has been freed from the drain of the
Cuban and Philippine instructions.
Even when there was peace in both
localities it is doubtful if they much
more than paid their expenses. Their
possession was source of social and
political Generalization to the moth
er country Spain lacked the talent
for colonization under modern condi-
tions.

Mark Twain's satirical fippancy

Mark Twain's satirical flippancy in
regard to Gen. Funston in one of the
current magazines is not only in
poor taste, but indicates lack in
the writer of some of the qualities
that every American and every right
minded man should possess. He
should not write at all about real
soldiers like Funston, and to do it
mockingly is, coming from such a
source, certain to cause disgust. Gen.
Funston has served his country well.
Twain is inclined to grow tiresome
md repulsive when he ridicules a
nan with such record.

Trade reports from over the cour

Trade reports from over the coun-

THE HOG RUN COLLAPSED.
Several Persons Killed and Injured whi's
watching Fire at the Cnicaxo
stock Yards.

Chicago, May 17.--The lard refinery
of Armour g. CO., situated at the cor
| ner Of Forty-third and Center streets,
was destroyed by fire last night, ana
during the fire a number of accidents
occurred by which many persons
were injured. The number OF dead
and wounded is matter OF con-
lecture as yet, the estimates running
all the way from five to twenty-five.
The fire drew great crowd to the
stock yards, and it is estimated that
at least ten thousand spectators were
gathered around the burning build
ing. Several viaducts traverse the
yards, at height Of 20 feet from the
ground, and upon these points OF van
tage the people gathered. One OF the
viaducts runs near the lard refinery,
and from the north side of this via
duct hog-run 300 feet long extends
to the plant of Armour g. Co. While
this was densely crowded with peo-
pie about two hundred feet of it gave
way, precipitating all who stood up
on it to the ground.
The firemen instantly abandoned
all efforts to save the refinery, which
was already doomed, and devoted
themselves to the work of rescue.
A call was at once sent for the
nearest police ambulance, but it was
half an hour putting in an appear
ance, for the reason that when the
horses were being attached to the
ambulance they ran away. Finding it
impossible to- recapture their own
horses, the men of the ambulance
corps impressed another team and
started for the fire. By the time they
arrived most of the injured had been
carried to hospitals, but number of
the more severely hurt were placed
in an improvised hospital in the plant
of the German-American Provision
Co.
The lard refinery was new build
ing erected during the. last two
months, and the building, exclusive
of the machinery it contained, was
valued at $150,0OO. 1t was of brick
and five stories high. The fire start
ed on the fifth floor from an explo-
sion of some vats of lard. 1t spread
rapidly throughout the building, de-
spite desperate efforts of the work
men to check it's advance, and by the
time the firemen arrived at the scene
the building was a mass of flames.
Calls were quickly sent in for addi-
tional engines, until 20 had been sum-
moned, but, even this reinforcement
was of no avail, and in a short time
the north, south and west walls of
the building were down.
Directly west of the lard refinery
is the plant of, the Upton Packing |
Co., and the flames, after the fall of
the west wall of the refinery, burst |
out against this building with ter
rife force, and for time it was
thought that it would be impossible |
to save the Upton building. 1t was
damaged somewhat, but the flames |
we're checked before the damage was
serious.

THE STOCK MARX EFT.
Renewal of Strength Yesterday,

New York, April S.--The effect of
 yesterdays furry in the money market
 was dissipated to-day and an aggressive leadership was developed on the recov-
 cry in stocks This leadership seemed
 to remain with the well Nquipped party
 of western men which took hold of the
 evidence of a recruitment of their forces I from other sources, while their position was stronger by reason of the shaking off of a weak following by yesterdays reaction. The extension of the shcrt interest during yesterdays decline was also a technical factor of strength in to- days market. The req assurance of the speculative element was not eminent this morning, and there was consider able waverng and uncertainty in the early movement of prices. In fact
 there was not much in the market up to noon outside of the persistent ab- sorption of Louisville and Nashville, and the sharp advance in Amalgamated Copper, apparently continuation of yesterday $ movement. lOulSVllle ana Nashville proved the central figure of the market and it's aggressive advance was the dominat ting factor in the broad ening demand for stocks. The dealings in the stock were on an enormous scale and there were indications that the western contingent of spectators was reinforced on the buying side by q well known operator who has long been quiescent and only recently returned from q long trip to recuperate his health. The explanations offered for the rise were mostly in the nature of surmises on the part of speculators. The reported acquisition of the Allan
 ta Knoxville and Northern railway was believed to be the preliminary to active incursion into new territory. The belief was professed that the new is sue of S5,000000 of stock for the purpose of this purchase has already been marketed, thus freeing the market from the future offering of it. The aggres- sive policy undertaken by the company

gave rise to conjectures as to the possi- bllities of the establishment of a com | munity of interest in the territory con- cerned. cerned. Illinois Central and Southern Railway prf. were benefited by sympathy. The movement spread into the southwestern stocks and St. Paul, but Union Pacific, Southern Pa cific and Atchison were conspicuously
 little affected by the movement. There was general movement in the Wander hilts of from i to 3 points and a large number of minor stocks of which the Wisconsin Central stocks were most conspicuous were vigorously advanced The list of minor industrials affected was also as large as has recently been the rule. The Westinghouse Electric stocks made sensational advances Of 14A for the common and 15 for the 1st pf, on the strength of an analogy with the history of General Electric. The whole market gave way on the profit taking which developed in the last hour, and the principal active stocks were carried back from 1 to points. The market closed easy. The rate for call loans to-day held firm at 5 and 6 per cent. It was believed that the rate would check further shipments of gold and this assurance was considerable relief to sentiment. The calling Of loans yesterday seemed to have strengthened the situation of the banks so far that the feeling in the money market to-day was much quieter.
 The Central of Georgia income bonds were the features of the bond market at advances of to 31a per cent. The Green Bay and Western Bs were also strong and active. Otherwise the bond market was rather quiet but firm. To tai sales par value s3,770000.
 United States bonds we're all un, changed on the last call.
