REPORT NO PROGRESS.
Treaty Commission In China Comes TO
Stopping Point.

Washington, May l8.-No progress is
reported from the United States Treaty
Commission IN China, and the exact
nature of the obstacle TO the consumma-
ton of the trade treaty is not known.
The Chinese commissioners make one
statement in the matter; the Russian
government makes another in conflict, and
the commissioners do not know which to
believe. 1t is probable that the State De-
partment may feel it necessary to cause
the Chinese government to give more de-
finite instructions to its commissioners.
Pekin, May 1S.-China, in reply to
further representations of the United
States and Jspaneee ministers, has again
pointed out the impossibility of including
in the commercial treaties the opening to
trade of Manchurian towns, on account Of
Russian opposition. The American
miAister proposes that China open
Mukden, Harbln and small port at the
mouth of Yalu river.
G. G. Baldwin of New York, a repre-
sentative of the Southern cotton mills
who has Investigated the trade conditions
in Manchurla, reports that the American
cotton trade WAS increasing enormously
until recently, when the Russians began
to exert pressure upon the Chinese,
amounting to coercion, for second orders
for Russian firms amounting to SOO,OOO
bales of goods which otherwise would
have gone to America.
Mr.. Baldwin says the foreign firms com
plain bitterly of the difficulty in conduc-
ting business under the Russian admin
stration, and be believes that unless Rus
sian absorption Of Manchulia is checked,
the United States will be deprived of a
most promising market for cottons within
a few years.
Washington, May, 1S.-The State De
partment has been fully aware of the ob
stacles which the Shanghai treaty com
missioners are meeting with the Chinese
In the effort to include in the commercial
treaties the opening to trade of Manchu-
ran towns. The Chinese, as stated in the
Pekin dispatch, point ont the imposslbility
of this on account of Russian opposition
The accuracy of this statement, however,
is denied by the Russians themselves.
Nj. Paul De Lessar, the Russian minis
ter 10 Pekin, who has been absent from
his post of duty for some time, is now re-
turning to Pekin. His arrival there is
awaited with some interest, for it is ex.
pected that he will be able TO speak au-
tboritatively on the subject Of Russia's
position and thus clarity the situation con-
siderably.
Meanwhile, the United States, anxious
to secure additional port facilities for
American trade interests in Manchuria,
will continue to exert its efforts to bring
about that result.

The Price of Ice.

Summer is here and with it the Ice
season. We wish to tell you that we are
still in the business, and ask that we may
be allowed to furnish you with ice this
season. We hope not one of our patrons
has any reason to make change, as we
have always done our best to please every
one. We begin today to send out ice
made from distilled water, and just here
we want to say a few words about our sys-
TEN, and prove by figures Its superiority
over other systems. All know that in
order to have pure water, it must be dis
titled, which process removes all bacteria
germs and foreign mineral matter. The
census of 1900 shows that 96.4 per cent
of all ice manufactured in the United
States was made by the system We use,
leaving only SO for all other systems. The
average value of all ice made by our sys'
tenn mot cost to make), but value after
ward was 26c per ton more than any other
ice. Is not this conclusive evidence in
favor of our ice. The above facts are
taken from "Mechani ;al Refrigeration and
Ice Making" that may be seen at our
store by any one who has any doubts on
the subject. Again asking you for con-
tipuance of your patronage, we remain
yours to please,
Buston & Sons.
Our prices as heretofore will be right.

PRISONERS SLEW CAPTAIN OVERTON
Fifty Insurgents Broke from House and
Rushed on -Four Americans who had
Failed to Destroy BOlOs.

Manila, May I7.-Captain Clough Over
ton, of the Fifteeth Cavalry, and Private
Harry Noyes, wko we're killed May 10, at
Sucatlan, Mindanao, met their death at
the hands of insurgent prisoners whom
they were guarding. Their companion IN
this duty, Private Hartlow, was woun led
at the same time.
Captain Overton's troops of the Fiji
teenth had been scouting in the depart
ment of Misamis, Mindanao, on the trail
of the insurgent leader, Flores. The
cavalrymen captured fifty of Flores fol-
lowers and confined them in house at
Sucatlan. Captain and three men re-
mained to guard the prisoners while Lieu
tenant Cameron continued in pursuit of
Flores.
The prisoners suddenly broke out of the
house where they were confined, secured
their bolos and rushed the four Americans
on guard.
CAPTAIN Overton was slashed with bolo
and bIed to death. After escaping the
insurgents gathered and renewed the at
tack on the Americans The cavalryman
who was not wounded repulsed the enemy
and defended his dead and wounded COM
panions until the return of Lieutenant
Cameron. Captain Overton is criticised
for having kept only three to guard fifty
and for having neglected tc destroy the in
surgents' bolOs.
Flores is a Visayan, and the majority OF
his followers are Paganos living in the
Misamis Mountains. No Moros were
concerned in the affair.

FIRE AT MAX MEADOWS,
Fourteen Buildings 90 up In Smoke
Started In Stable.

Wythevllle, Va, May l9.-The town Of
Max Meadows suffered the worst fire in
it's history this afternoon, when fourteen
buildings, including some of the best busl-
ness houses and residences went up in
smoke. The fire originated IN a stable,
and is believed to have been caused by
someone smoking. The flames quickly
spread to Heuser's drug store and the
building and stock were quickly consumedi
as were also the former Office building of
the Max Meadows Land Company, the
Odd Fellows hall, the IL. J. Shafer store
building and the handsome home of Mrs
Bridges. Besides the above named, which
are the principal losers, eight other bull.
dings were reduced to ashes in quick
order. The loss, while not given, will be
heavy. Fortunately the buildings burned
were pretty well insured.

Pulaski, Va, May l9-The loss by fire
at Max Meadows. will probably reach a
total of $40, 900 or $4,000. The property
was well insured. The town was at great
disadvantage at the time ofthe fire, owing
to the fact that there was a break in the
waterworks plant and the only means Of
fighting the flames was by bucket b igades.

RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMAN.
Judge Ferriss Says State Law
Should Be Changed.

Circuit Judge Ferriss said yesterday
from the bench that the law prohibiting
a woman from testifying in favor Of her
husband is a relic Of barbarism and should
be set aside.
He made the statement in overriding a
motion to set aside a nonsuit in the case
of John A. Peck against the st. Louis
Transit Company. Peck sued for dam
ages because Of an accident to his wife,
Alice. She had sued, but lost her case.
The Transit Company raised the point
in Peck's case that the law did not per-
NIT his wife to testify for him; Judge Fer
riss said the law originated at q time
when a married woman was supposed to
bel under the absolute dominion of her
husband. and 1t was thought that the
marriage relation would render her an un-
safe witness.
The wife to-day, he said, is the equal of
her husband before the law in substan-
tally every respect but this. The law, he
said. is a rank injustice and an insult to
womanhood. He said he would be very
glad to see the State Legislature put u
married woman pom perfect equality
with other witnesses In suits brought by
her husband.

DECREASING RECEIPTS
LIFT WHEAT PRICES.
CASH DEMAND AT ALL
POINTS is IMPROVED.
Corn Contends Against Favor.
able Weather Conditions and
Closes Slightly Lower.

Chicago, Nov. H.--Decreasing receipts in
the Northwest and strength in outside
markets caused a firm tone in the wheat
pit to-day and Dec. closed k@&c higher.
Dec. corn was off 1s0hc. oats were a
shade lower, while provisions were steady,
the Jan. products closing from 2sc to &c
higher.
WHEAT.
There was a good commisslon-house de-
mand for wheat and the market ruled
firm after a slightly easier opening. Con-
tinued favorable weather in the face Of
predictions to the contrary and rather dis
appointing cables caused some selling at
the start. and initial sales on Dec. were
unchanged to &c lower at 76tsG76ko. Out
side markets were all higher, however
and this fact soon resulted In creating a
better sentiment here. Minneapolis re-
ported heavy sales Of -four there yester-
day and an excellent demand for cash
wheat, n in consequence the Northwest
demand here was also good. and this
helped to give strength to the speculative
trading. New York reported the Dec. op-
ton strong on account of the exhaustion
showed big gains. Ali these influences
were factors in causing a better demand

CORN.
Corn had to contend with weather con-
ditions. which were most favorable for
drying out and curing the new crop. and
this feature produced more or less bear
iSh feeling. Trading was only moderate

Oats ruled steady OH a fair demand from

some selling by longs at the start, which
caused Il little easier feeling. but prices
soon responded to the demand from locals
