WAR RuMoRs.

II would be impossible not to be
aware Of the fact that our time Is one
Of "rumors Of war; as web as Of ac-
cidents Of many kinds.
Central America has its troubles, as
usually The spirit Of revolution and
international jealousy Is abroad there.
In South America. too, the spirit Of
strife Is alive. The little State OF
Acre is Insignificant enough when size
Is considered, but It is supposed that
some day Il viii become important as
gateway between German, British,
and Italian spheres Of influence, and
hence Il may cause boundary dls-
pute.
Disquiet also prevails in China. From
there come rumors TO the effect that
another boxer rising may be looked for.
IN fact, II Is positively stated that an
other war on foreigners In China may
be looked for, unless the powers fore
stall It by another expedition to the
Chinese capital. The Empress, II IL
said Is as much opposed TO foreigners,
as she every was, and is seconded IN
her anti-foreign policy by her chief
minister. Monaghan troops are even
now being drilled on the northern Dor
der OF the kingdom, from which the
inference IS drawn. with very strong
logic, that the Manchu dynasty has de-
termlned once more to try conclusions
with the foreign devils.
But the most serious war rumors
come from the Balkan peninsula The
powers have presented joint note to
Turkey demanding certain reforms.
Turkey undoubtedly win promise any
thing. but the promises win not be
carried out as an the world knows, and
hence the danger Of revolutionary
outbreak ami the interference OF the in
terested larger powers.
Some commentators on Turkish az
fairs have thought that the powers in
the past have been guilty OF a great
mistake IN endeayorng to protect on
~ Christian rights. forgetting or over
looking the fact that such dlscrimna-
ton has simply stimulated the hatred
Of the Mohammedan subjects OF the Sui
tan Of their Christian nelghbors, and
made It much more difficult TO properly
protect the latter. The reforms that
should be insisted upon. these commen-
tators ray are those which would

Christian. These could b. better car

But those who so argue. forget that
the Turks with the possible exception
Of The few liberals. do not want any re-
forms. They as a rule, are well salts
lied with the conditions under which
they live. Mohammedans generally
consider themselves the masters OF the
world By virtue Of their faith; and the
Turks especially believe IN their own
superiority over all human beings. As
consequence they consider It as their
right to live of the subdued races,
without much work Tor a living. I'm

The uIspUsI Ion of the days receipts was
as follows, each buyer purchasing the num-
per of head indicated:

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were not ex-
cessIve this morning. and as a result a
fairly active and steady market was ex-
%perienced. Buyers started out In good sea-
son, and as most OF the trains were in at
a reasonably early hour the bulk of the
offerings was soon disposed of.
The better grades of beef steers were
rather scarce this morning, and In fact
there were no choice punches on sale.
Packers, though, took hold in good shape,
and the market could safely be quoted
steady. Buyers evidently had to have some
cattle to NIL their immediate orders, so
that In the absence OF. good stun the COM
moner grades were more easy to dispose
of h usual. -.
The COW market was fairly active and
just about steady on all grades. Gamers
and the medium kinds seemed to be in
good demand, as we'll as the better grades
OF cornfeds. A large propoI zion OF the
offerings consisted OF COW stuff, but the
demand was sufficient to take everything
offered at last weeks prices.
There was no particular change In the
market on bulls. veal calves and stays.
The supply of stockers and feeders was
light again this morning, and as the de-
mand continued in good shape the market
was active and stronger on all desirable
grades. There were several punches good
enough to bring over 500, and one big
string sold at $4.35. The demand for feed
ers at this time Is not what would be called
large, but still buyers claim they cannot
get enough of them to fill their orders.
