CAUGHT IN THE GAVE
A CapSizing in the Dark
 Echo River
The Perilous Experience of Party in the Mammoth Cave - Extraordi- narily Saved.

Louisville, Jan. 17.-Eighteen dele gates to the convention league of com mission merchants were thrown into the icy waters of Echo river, which winds a course through Mammoth Cave and were saved only by the coolnes5 of the guide, John Nelson.
 The roof of the cave over Echo river is arched and the space in the center OwirS to an unaccorntable rise in the river was only two and a half feet above the water.
 In order to secure the passage of the boat the men and women were forced to stoop over. The beat swerved to one side. r;iking the heads of those occu- pants seated next to the bank. These leaned farther forward. which lowered one end of the boat and water began to flow in rapidly. The guides saw the danger and called to MuehlbrOnner to jump and take the chain. This he did, landing on steep bank, which offered only a slight footholG, Lying down on his face he held fo tEe chain and pulled t:e boat toward the banl;.
 The boat sank in eight feet of water. Further back where there was no land inC the water is eighteen feet deep.
 By the light of a single lantern, the party escaped by clinging over Muehl- bronner's prostrate form and after waiting several hours for a boat were brought in safety to daylight.

Senate Will Handle Post office Department Matters
II WILL BE DONE BRIEFLY
It Is Probable That the Panama Dis cussion Will Be Resumed Tomor- row - The House Will Hurry the Appropriation Bills Through.

Washington, Jan. 17.-It is the inten- tlon Of the senate to begin the week by again taking up resolutions having in View an inquiry into the conduct of the postoffice department and it is a gen. eral understanding that they will be referred to the committee on postofices after a comparatively brief debate. Senator Hale, who has general charge Of the resolutions, will make a brief statement concerning them and prob- abl- will be followed by Senator Cor man. It is expected that Senator Spooner will add to his previous re- marks on this subject but his state ment will be postponed until later in the session. It is the hope of the Re publican senators that the postoffiCe matter may be properly disposed Of be- fore the close of Mondays session. and in this event the discussion of the Pan anna canal subject will be continued on Tuesday and probably during the re- mainder of the week.
 It is likely. however, that before the close of the week the debate will he transferred from the open senate to the executive session as it is the purpose of the republican majority to insist upon taking up the canal treaty as soon as 1t shall be reported from the committee on foreign relations which has had it under consideration for the past two weeks. The republican members of the committee hope to report the treaty ! early in the present week. The discus sion of the treaty is expected to last a month or more
 The committee on appropriations vii { take up some of the annual supply bills during the present week As soon as these measures are oh the calendl-. I their consideration will be pressed. Tho present indications are that the urgent deficiency bill will be the first to receive i attention and after that has been dis | posed of the legislative. executive and [ judicial appropriation bill will be talk
 en up.

GERMAN EGGS FOR NEW YORK

New York, Jan. 1I.-Consumers of eggs in Greater New York may not realize that the product of the hen which they have lately been eating may have travelled all the way from Germany, but such is q fact. During the past month. when the supply of do- mestic stock was so small, several west side merchants, following the example set several years ago by potato inn porters, commenced securing European markets. and were successful in se- ing to about 1000 American cases, which contain 90 dozen each.
 The stock was shipped in cases con- taining 120 dozen and came through in excellent condition and with break ages no heavier than if shipped from nearby sections.
 Although prices have been kept q secret. t is generally believed that large profits were made in the trans actions This new departure of sup plying the demand for eggs will neces- sarily create some timidity this year among speculators who have never counted upon this unexpected source of supply. believing a duty of five cents a dozen would effectually bar importation.
 The quality of the German eggs was not entirely satisfactory, some lots leaving a tasty flavor, but in others the stock was generally acceptable to high class trade.

BRYAN'S DOLLAR DINNER
It Is Supposed That Nr. Bryan's Re-
 marks Will Be General.

lincoln, Neb., Jan. 17.-F'ive hun dred tickets have been issued for the dollar dinner to be given tOmor- row night, in honor of Wm. J. Bryan. The speakers comprise many of the leading democrats of the state. The subject of MT. Bryan's toast has not yet been announced, but it is unlike ly that he will announce the policy he is to pursue in the coming campaign. It is more likely that his speech will be short, along general lines and larg- ely extempOre, with a possible brief review of his European trip.
 Mir. Bryan's present stay in Lincoln is to be short.
 Tuesday he leaves for New York city, where on the 21st he is to partici- pate in the Holland Society banquet. From there he goes to the south to fill number of lecture engagements. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Bryan and his daughter Grace.

Conditions Under Which the War May Be PreCipitated
RUSSIA WILL NOT YIELD
There May Be a Concession to Japan But Russia Will Not Accept Dicta-
 ton - The Point in Dispute Is the
 Hanchurian Question.

London, Jan. 1S.-In what is claim ed as an authoritative statement the Daily Graphic this morning announces that negotiations have arrived at stage leaving two points upon which neither Russia nor Japan is inclined to yield, and as to which no means of compromise have yet been found.
 Both these points concern Manchuria and their acceptance would not in the slightest modify the legal status quo or change the administrative situa- ton in Manchuria, but Japan insists that they be embodied in a treaty be- tween Japan and Russia, while Russia as matter of amour propre. refuses to accept such a dictation at the hands of Japan Much, however, is still hoped from the czar's influence. The statement adds: "Of course any attempt of Russia to increase very largely her naval force in the east by moving her Black Sea or Baltic fleets would make the war only a question of a few hours
 At the Japanese legation last night. it was said that no fresh news had been received and that the situation remained unchanged.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Week.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 17.-Cattle receipts at Kansas City last week amounted to 10000 head including calves, as compared with 36,0O0 same week last year. More fed steers were offered than during any week this winter. The proportion of she stuff was light, and of stOckers and feeders extremely small. A good many west ern fed steers arrived and sold at q range of from s3.50 to S4.6O. There were plenty of buyers, and the market was strong every day up to Friday, when it reacted , to r. cents Eight loads of Pan Handle feeders got in Thursday. They weighed S33 pounds and brought $3.35. Prices on stockers and feeders were very satisfactory all week. Yesterday, however. conditions were against salesmen on account of too many cattle in sight at all the markets. The supply at Kansas City is 1,CO0 head. Killing cattle are most affected of course, but stockers and feeders are lower in sympathy.
 Packers were anxious for killing stock and gains were made all along the line last week in the sheep diVis- ion. Although receipts were more than double those of the previous week, prices were uninjured and closed the week at the best point of the season. Yesterdays supply was 5000 and-the market strong and active. Yearlings brought S5.5O of the same quality as those at $3.25 last Monday. Western fed stock is quotable as follows: Lambs, S5.75 to s6.10. Wethers, $4.0c to 4.55: yearlings $5.20 to S5.5O; ewes, S3.6G to $4.S0.
 More feeding stock could be used at prices from $3.OG to S3.25 for orders wethers; s3.75 to $4.OO for lambs
