KANSAS CITY MARKET.

Kansas City, August 16-Fairly good cattle receipts at all points last week, and continued hot weather, gave the advantage to buyers again, and prices declined 10 to 9 cents for the week Western cows were an exception, and
 found a ready sale all week, in fact. more of them could have been disposed of than arrived Tht run today is 1S,0OO head. market steady with strings of good western cows selling a shade stronger. Up to last Thursday there were fears of injury to crops account of dry weather, but copious rains all
 over Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri on Thursday and Friday changed the situation, and the improved feeling is evident today, especially in the market for stockers and feeders. Panhandle steers are selling at $40 to S425, good weight wintered Westerns from native pastures at $4.50 to S5.75, western cows at S2.90 to S3.35. Calves have been coming freely, 45OO here today, market about 50 cents lower than week ago. veals at $4.50 to S5.50, heavy calves,
 s325 to s425. The rains last week
 practically assured the corn crop in many sections, and put pastures in good shape so that demand for coun-
 try Z>ades will be good unless there is some bad turn in conditions. Stock CTS bring $3.O0 to $4.60, feeders $3.65 to $4SO
 Liberal supplies of sheep at all points and the hot weather, which cut down consumption, have been against the market for a week or more and prices declined 20 to 30 cents last week The run is 5000 here today, market a shade lower, Colorado spring lambs at $5.75, Colorado wethers. 1O2 lbs, $3.25, and western ewes $3.65. Shipments from Utah and Arizona are strdggling noth- ing to speak of here since the middle of last week, when Utah wethers, me dium grade, sold at $3.75, and Arizona lambs brought $5.S5. Some 57 Colo rado feeding lambs sold at $4.65 today, and a string of 55 Colorado feeding lambs sold today at $40. There will
 likely be an improved demand from the country for stock and feeding stuff from now on.

TIE POSSIBILITIES
 OF THE TELEPHONE
Transmission at the same Time of the
 Voice, Writing and Pictures.

London, Aug 16.-Simultaneous writing and speaking by telephone is made possible by the wonderful inven- ton of Gustave Grzanna of Germany, who has been demonstrating his in- strument in London.
 With the Grzanna telephone hand writing sketches, etc, can be transmit- ted over an ordinary telephone wire for very considerable distances in few seconds. This means a great improve ment on the old system of electric writ ing at at a distance which was slow and clumsy.
 Messages on the Grzanna system are passed through as fast as they are written. one can actually speak and write or draw at the same time through the same wires; the telephone being connected with the apparatus (to use the technical term) through a cOnden- ser of two microfarads.
 By this system, an artist reporter can telephone to his office a description and sketch of any event simultanel- ously; in military operations maps and sketches Illustrating the enemy's movements can be wired back by scouts as they unfold themselves, to- gether with a verbal despatch. or an engineer can order material by tele- phone from a manufacturer, accom- panying his message with drawings of the goods required.

Tilt PLAN OF BRYAN
 RUIN0US 10 BUSINESS
Van CIeave Points Out the Danger
 ous Planks of Democratic Platform.

St Louis, Aug. 16.-James w. Van .Cleave, president of the national as sociation of manufacturers today is sued an answer to the recent reply of Bryan to an article by Van Cleave a few weeks ago in which he pointed out especial reasons why, accord ing to Van Cleave, business men should vote against Bryan. Speaking today, he says the injunction, tariff and banking blanks of the Denver platform assail the interests of every man in the country engaged in trade.
 He tells Bryan that the association, like the courts. have always recoS- nized the rights of unions to get any terms from their employers which an amicable agreement could gain. but the association was op- posed to intimidation and violence which he says is sometimes practiced by some unions. He says the country is interested in getting a plain direct answer from Bryan as to whether he favors Iegalization of the boycott. He asks if Bryan does not know that the banking plank would bring ruin to the country in a larger measure than his silver debasement would have brought it.

R0STAND'S NEW PLAY
 THt "CHANIlCLfER"
1t Will Be Produced Simultaneously
 in London and New York.

Paris, Aug. 16-In Edmond ROs-
 lands long promised play "Chantie- lleer' all the characters are barn lyard animals and birds.
 Ever since Sarah Bernhardt ap- ipeared in "L'Aiglon" eight years ago the theatrical world has been look ling forward to the next work of the famous playwright who has not pro- Iduced anything in the meantime. At last arrangements arc complete for the .production of "Chanticleer' at the Theater Port St. Martin by Jean Coquelin and Hertz who have paid the record price of $50,000 for the worlds right. The play will be lproduced almost simultaneously in New York and in London in a yer sion written in English by Louis N. Parker.
 The play is described by those who have read it as a unique piece of dramatic literature, exquisitely writ ten and constructed with an amaz- ling sense of dramatic effect. Ip the mouths of the birds and beasts are put speeches of wonderful poetry and philosophy which will make the piece rank high among the fantastic tours de force of literature.
 The heroine of the piece, a part to be played by Mime Simone le Bargy, lis a golden pheasant, and M. COque- lin will growl the part of an old watch dog. The actors and actresses
 will all be dressed in fur and feather. Nothing human about them but their faces and voices. The play will be the great event of the next theatrical season.

MIGHT HAVE ERRED
 HAYNES THOUGHT NOT
The Arraignment-o the Captain and
 His Brother Continued Until Today.

New. York. Aug. 16.-The arraign- ment of Captain Peter C.. Haines Jr. U. $. A., who yesterday shot and killed William Annis, advertising manager of Recreation and Burr McIntosh's Monthly, was postponed today until tomorrow by magistrate Smith, of Long Island City. Similar action was taken in the case of Thornton J. Haines his brother. who held the crowd at bay with a revolver, while the Captain accomplished his work of vengeance. The men appeared unperturbed. They spent last night at Flushing police station, and tonight at the Queens county jail.
 Eyewitnesses to the shooting say they were prevented from going to the rescue by Thornton, who held them back with a revolver. After he had been shot six times, Annis tried to step from the boat in which he was sitting to the float, but toppled over board and tried to swim afloat. and came close enough so that bystander could grab him and pull him out of the water. While stretched on the float. he turned to the captain and said he had made a mistake and Haines replied that perhaps he had, but he didn't think so.

He claims to have known on board the Panther, Brady the famous horse thief, who is engag- ed in selling on commission some kind of diamonds to the sailors when their pay comes round.
 The police arrested another man yesterday for drunkenness who they thought was also a deserter. He has been a sailor but probably is not want ed anywhere.

LONDON Is FEARFUL

A Severe Winter Will Contribute to Dangerous Outbreaks.

London, Aug. 16.-Although the general public affects to ridicule the doings of the extreme socialists, the police are perfectly aware that should there be a severe winter with more unemployed than ever in London there is every possibility of serious riots. The extreme socialists have been much irritated of late and dis loyal speeches against the king such as would never mean immediate inn priSonment in Germany, are heard every day in Hyde park and at street corners.
