ceipts, $500 hogs, 500 cattle and 300
sheep, against 1,662 hogs, AS cattle
and 81 sheep a week ago and 2,144
hogs, $50 cattle and 265 sheep a year
ago. There was a fair run Of hogs
and with limited demand from out
side sources and packers Indifferent
the trade was quiet and steady to &c
lower than Saturday. Shippers
bought a few loads of light hogs at &c
lower, but local packers reported they
bought some of this class 10c lower.
There was an average Monday run
of cattle with a better variety than
usual at this time in the week. Con-
ditions here were Influenced to
some extent by the less favorable re-
ports from neighboring markets.
Trade was quiet. about 10 cents lower
than the close of last week. The
good to best cattle in their class were
easiest to sell.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were
equal to requirements of the trade to
this time, and, as result, trading
was not as active as it might have
been. In point of prices there was
not much change, compared with Sat
urday.

A BRAZILIAN STATESMAN.
DR.. Joaquin A. Nabuco, President of
Pan-American Congress.

DE-. Joaquin A. Nabuco, President OF
Pan-American Congress.
1t is customary for the president of
a pan American congress to be a citi-
zen Of the republic il which it is being
held. In accordance with this prece-
dent the conference which met on July
% at Rio Janeiro chose a Brazilian for
its presiding officer in the person of
Or. Joaquin Aurelio Nabuco de Araujo,
Ambassador of Brazil to the United
States. The choice was recognized as
an appropriate one and as compliment
tary to the United States, in view of his
being accredited to it as ambassador.
He is one of the ablest statesmen of
Brazil and a diplomat Of wide expert
encc and varied knowledge.
DR.. Nabuco is not only statesman
and diplomat, but also an author and
a scholar of unusual attachments. In
his writings he has expressed senti-
ments of special friendliness toward
the United States, and for this reason
his appointment as the first ambassador
of Brazil to this country was most
pleasing at Washington. When young
man he graduated from the law de-

Farmers of Wayne and contiguous
counties say their hay crop this year
has been shorter than they at first
expected. Early in the season eSti-
mates. on the crop ran between so
and 50 per cent of the usual crop
When cutting started it was seen
that these estimates were far too high
in many cases, for the meadows did
not give their usual yield. Farmers
now say the crop as whole is not
more than 80 per cent. of the average,
probably not more than 40 per cent

THE TURKISH KAIK.

"ConstantinoDle owes much" writes
be, ito the matchless beauty of the
three waters which run together be-
meath its walls, and much of their
reputation again has become world
wide by the kaik. 1t is disputed and
disputable whether the Turks copied
the Venetian gondoIa or whether the
VenetianS initiated the Turkish kaik,
but the resemblance between them is
they have q common origin. Take
from the gondola the 'felse,' or hood,
and the rostrated stem and the re
mainder is practically the kaik. 1t is
of all craft of it's size the swiftest, the
most easy to handle and the most COM
forta BILE, and the Turks generally are
admitted to be the best oarSmen in
Europe.
Indeed. they have need to be, for
both the Bosporus and the Golden
Horn are crowded with craft of every
est of currents. The distances, too, are
very great ana such as no ordinary
oarsman would undertake for pleasure
or for the sake of exercise. 1t is no

SIX MEN MEET DEATH IN ACCIDENT
ON THE BAT1LEsH|P KEARsARGE

Wilkesbarre. Pa. He is married and
his wife according to the departments
information is with his father.
Immediately upon receiving the ca
blegram from Admiral Evans. Acting
Secretary Newberry carried it to the
president at the White house and was
authorized to send the foregoing ex-
preston of sympathy. He also COM
municated the sad news to Secretary
Bonaparte at his home in Baltimore
over the long distance telephone.
The feeling of the officers at the
navy department after reading the
cablegram was one of surprise that
the accident resulted in SO little loss
of life. The Kearsarge's forward tur-
ret, where it occurred. is of the super
posed type in other words an S-inch
gun turret set upon the top of the 13-
inch gun turret. where the accident
occurred In the lower turret were
twenty-four men and in the upper tur-
ret sixteen. An ammunition hoist con-
nected the two and had the powder
in the tower hoist exploded probably
every man in the two turretS would
have been killed. The full charge of
powder for a thirteen inch gun is too
large to be handled by any one man.
so it is divided into sections in canvas
bags and it was three of these. proba-
bly, just enough to fill one compart-
ment in the ammunition hoist which
ignited. AS the cablegram states the
cause of the ignition was not known,
but the first belief at the navy depart
ment is that in clearing up the turret
and throwing open the breeches of the
big guns after the last round had been
fired some small bit of smouldering
canvas bagging was blown out of one
of the guns as the big breech block
was swung around, only to fall upon
the loaded ammunition hoist where
the surplus powder was being return
ed to the magazines below.
Lieutenant Graeme. who was men
toned as being in a very critical state
at the time the cablegram was sent.
did not belong to the company of the
Kearsarge He was attached to the
Maryland and was aboard the Kear-
! sarge in the capacity of an umpire to
check off and record the performance
of the gunners. a very necessary func-
ton in view of the keen spirit Of rival
ry obtaining between the crews of the
big battleships in the matter Of efh-
cheney at target practice.
Naval regulations prescribe exact
ly what is to be done in a case Of TINS
kind The admiral-in- in-cOmmand or
ders Immediately a court of inquiry &c
ascertain the cause of the accident ano
places the responsibility therefor, and
a court martial will follow if any one
is found at fault.
