he suggested Senator Cullom. to make
reply to Mr.. Roots speech which
would eNonerate, not Lorimer, but Hi.

Mr.. Root began his speech soon
after the senate convened without
having previously announced what his
position was to be. Before he had
proceeded far it developed that he
went beyond the position of others
who have condemned the election of
Lorimer as having been accomplished
by bribery.
The rottenness shown by the test-
mony commended Mr.. Root, was suai-
c1ent to invalidate the election of Lori

following Of Lee O'Neil Browne, the
Democratic leader in the Illinois as

testimony had been merely of for

fact that he was closeted day and

Mr.. Root reached the conclusion
that, deducting the seven votes, MI.

CATTLE-Recelpts OF cattle were mod.

Sniahest 81, Tor the first hall or any week

compared with year ago of over 3,U0O
mead. In spite of the fact that receipts
were 1ar from burdensome the market
as whole was very slow and unsatls-
factory from start to finish. In the first
place the quality of the cattle was not
very good, the yards being filled with
trash, and in the second place buyers
dld not appear at all ANXIOUS for any
great number of such cattle as were on
sale. Thus Is happened that the fore
noon passed with comparatively small
amount OF business being transacted and
II was well along toward midday before
buyers and sellers could get together on
trading basis.
As strictly good beef cattle were very
along that line would command steady
prices, but there was very little of that
kind on sale. Inferior grades were slow
and more or less neglected.
Cows and heifers were anywhere from
weak to az much SIS lOql5c lower in some
cases.
There were very few really good feed
eLs aho they possibly may not have
SHOWN much change, but the tendency on
the market was both slow and lower.
