Judge Brooks settled the question of
whether or not the defense would be

tories found they could not live
on the wages paid by the protect
ed industries of the empire, they
struck. And as strikers they
marched in peaceful procession
last Sunday to the palace of the
czar-'the one man in power in
the whole empire in whom they
trusted and asked to be heard.
Their request for an audience was
met with an order to the soldiers
to fire upon them. The order
was obeyed and hundreds were
mercilessly slaughtered, -inhu-
manly murdered, before the
palace of the ruler whose only
act worthy of international COM
ment was the calling of the peace
conference ut The Hague. This
is the answer the great ruler gave
his humble subjects who came to
ask his aid in throwing off the
yoke of their financial oppressors.
Where the affair will end can not
be foreseen. The Russian people
are convinced that the ruler in
whom they formerly believed is
against them. There may be O
revolution which will end the
Japanese war and overthrow the
government. The dynasty may
fall.

SATURDAYS EXHIBITION.

Saturday mornings exhibition
was in no way a disappointment
to the large crowd which attended
the show. Captain Bass and Mr..
Dean, his assistant in the arena,
made good from the standpoint of
those who attended.
In addition to the regular dem
onstration of how real bull fight
is conducted. Mr.. Dean gave an
exhibition of being tossed about
the ring by a mad bull. This
number was highly pleasing to
the crowd. Captain Bass dis
played great deal of agility and
presence of mind in his part of
the performance. His costume is
very elaborate and costly one
and the exhibition brought out
nothing cruel or inhuman. The
show as given was one to which
no more objection as to its bru-
tally could be raised than one
could find in a mimic play of
fencing or duelling on the stage g.
The bull fighters go away from
this city bearing the goodwill of
a large number of San Angeles

Market Letter.

Special to The Press.
Kansas City, Mo, Thursday,
Jan 10, 1905.-The movement of
fed cattle Is well under way now,
and receipts in quarantine divi-
sion this week are best of the
winter, at so cars for four DAYS.
The bulk of the receipts, of
course, are steers, and the quail
ity has averaged very good Steer
prices were lower Tuesday, but
market was strong to 10 cents
higher yesterday, barely steady
today. Cows and heifers have
sold strong to II little higher each
day for more than two weeks and
prospects point to a continued
good demand for them. There is
a free marketing of fed steers
from native territory at all the
markets now, and prices are
little shaky in consequence, but
the general conditions show
strength, and prices are little
higher than week ago on steers.
Steers of 1000 to 1850 pound
weight sell at $500 and 81 SO this
week, lighter ones between So. As
and $3.50. Cows have ranged
from 50 so to $500, a few Gamers
at 50, bulls So 30 to So. 10, some
nice, light veal calves have sold
up to 1925.
Prices in the sheep yards are
extremely satisfactory to ship
pers. Another advance was made
this week over the good prices of
last. Best lambs now range from
81 to $50, good yearlings So to
$500, wethers, So 25 to SIS, ewes
1925 to SIS These prices apply
to fed Western stuff, of which
most of the receipts are made up.
Natives sell shade higher.
