AID FEEDERS.

HOGS-The hog market opened this morn
ing at practically steady prices ana early
trade was reasonably active, The most OF
the hogs sold In good season on that basis,
the bulk going at S625N6.S0, the same as
yesterday with a TOP at t6.S5.
Toward the close and after nearly all OF
the hogs had changed hands a weaker feel
ing was developed. so that the market
wound up slow and lower than the open
ing.
1t had been anticipated that the receipts
would prove very light this week on &C
count of the almost impossible condition
OF the country roads, so that IL Is no sur
prise to the trade that receipts are running
Somewhat lighter than last week. The
only surprising feature is that they should
really be as heavy as they are.

The propriety of an investigation of the system has been talked of by members of the Commission for some ftyne, and that body, 1t is said, stands committed to an inquiry.
 swe have been informed" said q member of the Commission tonight. that this system in some of It's features Is not unlike the Northern Securities case, which was dissolved through the interposition of the Attorney General of the United States.
 Any steps that may be taken by the Commission along the lines referred to will be, it Is said, In accordance with the general powers of the Com mission conferred by law, and not be- cause nf any immediate specific com plafnt of a violation of the statutes.

 Four Texas Rangers seat to Rio GFande City to quiet tnrhulent poiitt- cal conditions thera and investigate tho assassination of District Judge Welch, which occurred the night before elec- tion, were ambushed by body of armed Mexicans between Fordyce and Rio Crande City late last night.'
 The rangers were asleep in camp when awakened by q volley of shots from tho darkness. A pltcned battle ensued and four Of the attacking party were killed. one fatally wounded and two captured.
 The rangers escaped unnarmsd Gov- ernor Lanham today ordered a company of cavalry to Starr County and a spe- cial train is now carrying the troops on 6 fast run.
 The situation in starr County was
 brought about by alleged election IT, regularities due to political clubs sup. plying Mexican residents with poll tax
 receipts and insisting that they be al-
 lowed to vote.
 Judge weleh. who was assassinated Monday night. had gone from his home in Corpus Christi, to be present at Rio Grande City on election day, in an ef fort to prevent disorders. He was ss- sassinated while asleep at night It is charged that armed representa- tives of political clubs controlling the Mexican vote, patrolled the voting
 places on election day ana refused to
 allow members of the opposing faction l to vote.
 Several shooting affrays occurred, but no one was killed or wounded 1T | is charged by one faction that Judgs ] welch was murdered by a hired asaas- | sin, and that last nisht's anlbuscade | of the rangers was instigated by inc same faction which inspired the murder of Judge welch.
