Lambs sold at $s.26. this being the
best figure packers would pay. but some
outside buyers were nlbbling at some

Sunshine and freezing temperatures
are needed to give really robust APP
pearance to live mutton trade. The
market. considering the handicap OF
soft weather all week and local sup
ply OF practically the same proper
tions as the previous week, has done
fairly creditable stunt, but dressed
trade is still sluggish. and killers are
protesting that current prices are not
warranted by the condition Of the
dressed market. On this account every
little swelling Of receipts above actual
requirements Is prompting the buy
ing side to put up very hostile front.
while the scoring of advances is
fraught with about as much difficulty
as the feat of drawing blood out OF a
turnip.

in aggregate receipts at leading mar
kets the past six days, as compared
with last. but supplies are still running
considerably In excess Of year ago.
The trade is generally Of the opinion.
however, that the heaviest runs OF
the season have been seen, as well as
the low SPOT in the seasons market.
At the same time there is nothing to
indicate much Improvement for tie

 The Russian government will lose no time in enlarging and increasing the eff fciency of the navy. It has been de- cided that the keel of four dreadnaughts for the Black Sea. fleet. are to be laid by the end of May. All Russia is mar yelling at the haste in which this defen- siye preparation Is to be rushed forward and the way in which the work thus far has been accomplished is extremely interesting. In the outset the peace loving duma was very strongly against this expenditure. Then, suddenly arose the trouble between Russia and China. The subjects of the Czar became im- pressed with the importance of increas- ing Russia's naval strength and the duma became reconciled to the idea of four dreadnaughts. The trouble with China then disappeared as suddenly as 1t had arisen. People note the relations of one incident with the other and they are be- ing freely commented upon.
 Not only Is the minister of finance, M Kokoffteseff, fast becoming the most popular member of the government in both houses of the Russian parliament

OFFICIAL ACTION
 ON PRISON SCANDAL

Odessa. May 6.-tSpeciai.)-Ohici action has at length been taken in re- gard to prison scandal of long stand ing at Novetcherkask.
 The Novetcherkask prison is con- structed to accommodate 250 inmates but for the past 8 months 1t has been congested with no fewer than S46, In one room alone, which by the regula- ton should accommodate maximum of 16 persons. 63 male convicts were packed This apartment is described as an unspeakably filthy den. Seven weeks ago an epidemic of typhus fever oc- cured in the goal and ~ prisoners died. but no medical assistance was proyided beyond the ordinary prison doctor. Fully aware of the scandal the townspeople recently addressed a tele- gram to the minister of justice and his excellency has now ordered the im- mediate clearance of the prison and the removal of the prisoners to the local hospitals.

INKSTAND THREE
 CENTURIES OLD

Berlin. May 6.--tSpecial.)-An ink stand that was probably in use 34oo- odd years ago is now exhibited in a Berlin museum. It Is of Egyptian make and Is supposed to belong to the eigh- teenth or nineteenth dynasty or some where about 1500 B. C., although It's real age can be judged only approxi7 mately. It is made, of wood and has two compartments, an upper che pro- vided with two holes one for black and one for red ink, and lower one for holding pens. The black and the red ink are certainties ftrs some still re- mains, in dry condition, within the receptacle. ,sssr,N
 Another ancient inkstand is sup posed to have been intended for the use of a shoolboy. It would certainly hold ink enough for schoolboy's needs for 1t has no fewer than four ink holes. Both inkstands were found at Thebes.

RUSSIA HAS ITS
 CHURCH TROUBLES

St. Petersburg, May 6.-(Special) )-Re- igious disturbances are still frequent fin many parts of Russia. The expulsion of the head of the Jesuits and other Roman Catholic zealots from Moscow has dis closed a hitherto unsuspected papal pro- paganda within the shadow of the very walls of the sacred Kremln. The scope of the movement has led the authorities to see that they are now confronted with a problem out of the ordinary.
 Since the enfeeblement of the Russian orthodox establishment, owing to the re- suits of the revolutionary movement and the liberal reforms, the Roman Catholics have evidently taken clever and prompt advantage of this new and favorable sit uaton to penetrate within the serried ranks of even such stanch adherents of
