terfere With Program.

Special to Times-Republicar1
Hampton June 1.-The weather here
Saturday interfered somewhat with
the Memorial Day exercises, being cold
with light showers Of rain in the
forenoon. Despite that, a large crowd
was in the city, and the program of
the morning was carried out practice
ally as announced
The afternoon services, including a
speech by Hon. Burton p. Sweet, of
Waverly, was carried out in the court
room. Mr.. Sweets address was a
splendid effort, and the applause he
received at intervals proved that he
was appreciated.
Altho a candidate for congress from
this district, he wisely refrained from
any reference to present day politics,
but dwelt on matters pertaining to the
history of the United States and of
the events in the life of the nation
that eliminated in the civil war, not
forgetting to pay high tribute to many
of the men who made history during
the early sixties.
Baxter Biandon recited selection
from Lincoln's famous Gettysburg
speech, and the music was furnished
by a large chorus choAr A drum corps
was also present. The meeting was
presided over by Past Commander d.
B. Henderson.

London. June 1.-The British balloon,
Valkyrie, won the great international
race from birmingham to Burchetts

distance of thirtyone miles. late
Saturday. Thirty-o one balloons. rep
resenting five nations, were entered In

The balloon bumped into the single
Swiss entrant and the Belgian balloon
was disqualified

Receipts Meagre, and Demand
Good at Prices Ten to Fiji
teen Higher
ADVANCE ALSO IN HOG MARKET
Market Was Ton to Fifteen Higher on
Light Supply and Good Early Buy
ing by Shippers and Spectators
Sympathy With Other Livestock
Causes Strength in Sheep Market.

Chicago, June I. Cattle receipts
were meagre for Monday. The de-
mand showed considerable life, at an
advance of 10@15.
Packers have had plentiful stocks
of beef in coolers for the past two
weeks. and despite slim supplies at
Chicago have been in no urgent need
to BUY freely.
Until consumptive demand broadens
it will require only meager receipts
to supply killers needs and return
to liberal marketing operations by
country shippers would be poor pol
icy, as it would mean still further
declines in values.
Hogs.
Hogs were 10@15c higher, on a
light supply and good early buying by
shippers and spectators. Later. pack
ers came in the market. adding fresh
strength.
That the country is not bare of hogs
is evident when nearly 10000 reach
Chicago in one day the last week OF
May This may be the accumulation
Of the corn planting season and 1t
may also mark the inception of the
regulation June run. but packers, who
by the way are not always right, as
sumo that the country is still full OF
hogs and that the market will be we'll
filled all thru the summer June VIII
undoubtedly witness liberal move
ment and prices are likely to rule low
err than during May. but July may
witness an upturn. provided. always
the country is not in possession OF too
many hogs.
Sheep.
Sheep were strong. in sympathy with
other livestock. Demand was not
very energetic. and trade was rather
slow.
Trade in the sheephouse has pros
poets not bright for this week. The
holiday was a depressing influence at
the finish. This weeks trade Will de-
pend on how many southern lambs
show up at Louisville.

Senator Hepburn broke in with the
complaint that he had been treated In
bad faith. He had understood that
he was to have few moments time
to explain why he could not support
the bill before the vote was taken,
and he complained that the chair had
ignored him and ordered the roll call
started while he was shouting ~
recognition.
La FolIette's Last Stand.
Aldrich hurried over to MIN and
said it was too important to get the
roll call started before La Toilette
returned
But ! assured you 1 did not want
to tilibuster, and you agreed that l
should speak, shouted Hepburn. ang-
rily.
Aldrich again pointed out that La
Toilette might come in at any moment
and in the meantime Mr.. Fairbanks
had ruled that the roll call. having
been started, could not be interfered
with. 4
While the roll was being called La
Toilette walked into the chamber.
He was plainly annoyed. and when
his name was called he voted INC"
with much JUNCTION and energy
A moment later he had an inspira-
ton and asked the chair If he could
move to reconsider the vote If he
changed his vote and cast 1t in favor
of the measure.
Regular order" cried all the reac-
tionaries in chorus.
THE regular order is demanded
repeated Fairbanks.
II will take a chance on 1t any
way" said la Toilette. II change
my vote to aye"
Two Leaders in Clash.
The moment the result was an
nounced La Toilette was ON his feet,
addressing the chair in roaring
voice Aldrich was also on his feet in
the center aisle, just few feet IN
front of Vice President Fairbanks. AL
drich was recognized.
II rise to point of order" shouted
La Toilette
81 decline to yield" snapped AL
drich.
II rise to point of order and do
not have to have the consent of any
senator" replied La Toilette, furiously.
Mr.. Fairbanks wavered and saw La
Toilette had scored.
"rhe senator will state his point Of
order" he said.
1.-The senator from Rhode Island and
/ addressed the chair at the same mo-
rent was In my place, at my own
desk He was out of his place. Under
the rules am entitled to recognition"
NO sllStaiO the
point of order" said Fairbanks, where
at he received smile and nod OF
thanks from the father in-law OF
Standard Oil.
La Toilette appealed from the deci-
sion of the chair, but was hopelessly
outvoted, many of the democrats sid
ing against him.
Democrats Sat Silent.
Motions to reconsider and to lay
that motion on the table, made by AL
drich and Foraker, speedily passed by
roll call and the bill was ready for the
presidents signature.
But if the democrats had extended
any aid to La Toilette and had pre-
vented Aldrich from getting the agree
ment this morning for a roll call with
OUT seconds. La Toilette might have
been able to carry on the fight for
considerable time longer. That was the
trick which enabled the reactionarles
to get the drop on him by starting the
roll call at the drop of the hat the sec
ond an opening came.
And the moment the senate passed
the bill the house resumed business
and put thru the delayed public
buildings bill which carried as high
as a million dollars for the democratic
states.

Suckers and Feeders.

Farmers are selling their corn,
which they think is more profitable
than feeding it under present condi-
tinns, but there is an abundance of
pasture everywhere and the cattle talk
en- out are put on grass. This has in
creased the demand for light steers
some, but still ii is much below the
normal for this time of the year. The
fact that prices at this end of the line
have not suited stockmen who mad
light steers to sell has encouraged
them to hold the stuff back. which
they have been able to do without In
convenience for the reason that they
were long on grass. This accounts for
the light supply here lately.

Disagree in "sponee Case

Davenport June 1.--F'or over twen-
ty-six hours the jury that tried Dav-
exports celebrated sponge case for
a second time wrangled over its YER
dict. and then reported disagreement.
Charles Cruys, the one obdurate jury
man, split the jury on the question OF
whether Mrs. Arp was entitled to
damages, and the Jury never got to the
question of the amount at all. Mrs.
Arp sued Dr. A. Hageboeck, Daven-
ports wealthiest surgeon, for $4,000
for causing her husbands death by
leaving a sponge in his body after
performing an operation.
