Persistent Selling of Big 0per-
ators Broke the Market.
PRICES A TRIfLE LOWER

Chicago, Nov. Both the cash and
an extremely dragging nature and prices
showed little inclination 10 move one
way or the other Continued selling of
December by Armour was the only feat
ure to enliven an otherwise dead market
and this selling had depressing inhu-
ence throughout the day and finally sue
ceeded in forcing prices a trife lower.
The early market was inclined TO firm
ness on smaller Russian shipments and
steady cables, and after opening un-
changed 10 sc higher at S05saS1c. De-
cember sold up 10 S1SsaS112c. but soon
eased off again TO the opening price
Toward the noon hour there was an
other slight upward movement on a de-
crease Of 26S,O00 bushels in the visible
supply. compared with an increase last
year of over 100000 bushels, but The
persistent selling by the big operators
held prices down, and with u let-up in
the demand from commission houses an
easier tone developed. December selling

week and LAS cars Il year ago
Corn had firm undertone. but the
market was an extremely narrow aft At:.
Local traders were inclined TO be bear
ish, but did not sell much owing TO he
weather conditions and TO reports Of
small acceptances. The presence of Il
few buying orders from the country had
a stimulating effect. as did the better
tone in cables Trading was duh ard
featureless. After selling between &c

Selling by local traders, due TO lib
eral increase in stocks, caused weakness

Local receipts were So cars.
Provisions ruled firm. with fair trade.
Decreased stocks at Liverpool and an
improved cash demand for lard were
bull influences. Packers sold pork and
ribs through commission houses and
those products were easier at times. but

PARDON FOR THOMPSON.
One Is Asked tor Paroled Smith
County Boy.

The people in the vicinity of Lebanon
Smith county, are petitioning Governor
Bailey to grant pardon to Charles
Thompson, who was sentenced from
Smith county in 1900 to a term of ten
years in the penitentiary for man
slaughter in the first degree. Secretary
of State Burrow has also taken an in
tereSt in the case and is lending his in
f1uence to securing the pardon
Thompson has been out of the peni-
tertiary over a year on a parole and has
been working on a farm near his old
home but his friends want a complete
pardon for him.
The man killed, it is claimed, was a
gambler and fakir by the name of R.
E. Jackson. 1t is asserted that Jackson
visited Lebanon during a celebration a
year before he was killed and that he
swim died a number Of young fellows out
of a lot Of money on the shell game.
Among the number was Thompson. A
year later when Jackson came back
again he was assaulted one night, from
the effects of which he died. There was
no positive evidence, but circumstances
pointed to Thompson as the man who
had struck Jackson, and he was arrest
ed and convicted of manslaughter in the
first degree and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for ten years on December
Il, 1890. He was paroled October IL.
last year. He was guaranteed employ
ment then by Mr.. Burrow, but the
neighbors in the community where he
had lived gave him work, and more re-
Gently he has been farming on his own
hook.
A pitiable feature of the case was
that on the day of Thompsons arrest
for the crime his mother died, and he
had to attend her funeral in charge of
the sheriff Later his father, overcome
with grief at the crime fastened upon
his son and the loss of his wife, was
sent to the Topeka insane asylum a
maniac. Within the last year, however,
he has recovered and has been sent
home.

tory agreement has been reached re-
garding Korea. Russia contends that
Japans treaty rights in Manchurta
were secured from China and stands on
the same footing as those of the United
States and other powers. Russia's re-
ply to the latest Japanese proposals is
still unsent. When it is framed it will
not be in the nature of an ultimatum,
but it may lead to counter proposals. It
is possible that the end may be a new
Russo-Japanese treaty covering Korea
Regarding the suggestion that the
United States may ask Russia to sub
nit the question of the evacuation of
Manchuria to The Hague tribunal, it IL
pointed out at the foreign Office and in
diplomatic circles that political issues
being involved, it is impracticable and
would be unprecedented to leave them
