ADMIKALi DSWBT'S TWO BIIOTUKKS/ BUSINESS SITUATION. § y e*cc<j>oc<x>a>a>a>^^ Chicago Correspondence: There have been few changes, and none of any importance, in general business conditions. The money markets continue unsettled. The hardening of the mar­ kets has begun to attract gold from Europe, engagements aggregating about $2,000,000 being reported by various New- York importing houses in the last few aays. lu: a broad way the industrial situa­ tion «ho.ws a constantly growing trade, Commodity prices hold strong, and there is no decrease in the demand for all kinds of staple goods. Clearing-house exchanges are phenomenally iirge, and railroad earnings continue to show good gains over the corresponding period of last year. Grain sad provision hroJbers generally reported an increase in speculative busi­ ness during the week. Prices were firm, with AS up«\ai>d tendency, that having probably much to do with the increased activity. There were several causes at work that stiffened values of the cereals for future delivery. In the case of wheat the trade was beginning to experience in a tangible way that there had been a sad failure in the winter wheat crop. Up to a recent period the impression largely prevailed that the loss of 125,- 000,000 bushels or "more, compared with the previous year's crop, was a matter ot* quite minor importance, bet a use of reserves left ovei' from the previous sea­ son's abundance; but the latter being now practically exhausted, it has been found that the farmers, aft a rule, are disposed to part with the present' sea­ son's lean crop in qnite homeopathic doses at present prices. Foreign demand is excellent, and instead of diminishing as the season advanced, as has been fore­ told. has actually been increasing. The exports of wheat and floor from all American ports since July 1 exceed tho«* for the like period of the previous year by 4,000,000 bushels. The corn crop has reached maturity and escaped iiyury from frost. Its bulk is very large, although considerably less than at one tiftj" seemed possible. Owing to, the bad effect upon pastures by the season's drought both here and abroad the demand for porn for home use and exportation promises to maintain prices at a point that will prove highly remun­ erative to the growers.

The court- $ martial in his case was ordered Dec. 6, 1887, convened Jan. 12, 1898, and the trial ended May 12, 1888. The sentence 'was dismissal from army, imprisonment for five years, $5,000 fine, publication'of his crime and disgrace in the newspapers of his home town for a period of .one year. The action of the President in approv­ ing the recommendation of the court- martial brings to an end this most cele­ brated and sensational of American mili­ tary trials. In the War Department, as well as elsewhere, the severity of the sentence has amazed everyone. Even the most sanguine of Capt. Carter's friends had long ceased to expect that he would he vindicated, but they clung to the hope that he might escape with dismissal from the army and a fine, and avoid the degra­ dation of going to prison. Capt. Carter's friends in Washington, both in and «\«t of the army, still assert his innocence and claim that be is the victim of circumstances and persecution, but it is the general opinion that in view <»f the careful consideration given the case the verdict of the court mast be <«nsidered a righteous one. From the President's decision there Is no apiR'uL, except to his clemency. The President has it in his power to pardon Oapt. Carter, and undoubtedly snch an application will he made in the near future, but for the present at any rate the former captain of engineers will have to go to the penitentiary.

Property worth thousands of dollars, stolen from the helpless and perishing passengers on the Scotsman of the Do­ minion Line, which webt aground in the Straits of Belle Isle, was recovered Sun­ day from the villainous members of the crew by the police of Montreal. Prompt steps have been taken to pun­ ish the offenders and recover Other valu­ ables. Warrants were issued by the De- minion Line for th§ arrest of the Scots­ man's firemen, who were brought up by the Montfort, and the warrants were given to the Monrteal detectives to exe­ cute. Warrants were also issued at Que­ bec for the firemen who were brought up on the Grecian, but the proceedings were bungled at that city. The Quebec officers went down to the wharf in uni­ form, and when the Scotsman's crew, who were on board tne Grecian, noticed them, they dropped the articles they "had into the river and the Quebec police could find nothing on them. . The Montreal police managed the busi­ ness much more skillfully. A squad of twenty-five detectives in plain clothes under command of Sergt.

Aguinaldo's third attempt to shift his difficulties into the field of diplomacy is a repetition of the other one or two, with an Impossible endeavor to obtain some sort of recognition of his so-called govern­ ment. The Filipino envoys had an hour's conference with Gen. Otis at Manila Snnday morning. They brought from Aguinaldo a message that he desired peace and wisned to send a civilian gov­ ernmental commission to discuss the question. The conference between Aguinaldo's envoys and Gen. Otis shows the insur­ gent leaders are well informed regarding the strength of the American army. Agui­ naldo is anxious for peace, but insists upon independence for the Philippines. His emissary argued the insurgents are able to continue the guerilla warfare in­ definitely, while he is counting upon the American people to become dissatisfied with the war. Gen. Otis absolutely re­ fused to recognize Agunialdo as Presi­ dent of the so-called republic, but offer­ ed to treat with him as commander of the insurants. •'ji. A BIG SNOW STORM.

Charles Rankin, a farmer 27 years of age, murdered Frank Walker and his wife, whom he had married but a few hours before, and then committed suicide, at the home of James Cook, niue miles east of Montgomery, Mo., on Tuesday evening. Rankin was a jealous lover of the bride, formerly Miss Goshorne. The bride and groom sat side by side at the heud of the weddiug supper table. There was an uncurtained window be­ hind them. Suddenly there was a min­ gled din of screamsv gunshot reports Rnd crashing glass.

Terror stricken, the guests at the feast summoned the sheriff and a posse was formed to search for the murderer. In the yard of the house lay the mur­ derer, dead. He had bared his foot that he might get a better hold of the trigger with his toe and had then blown his bend off. He left a note explaining that he could not live without the girl, and as to kill her husband would be to make her miserable, he had decided to end the Uvea of both and then kill himself. fla»of<l| BtiM K-wmr Mad«, Tha «wt Ave persona procuring the EBdl«**r Cthtila Starch Book from their jprocer Wtn each obtain one large 10c package of "RED CROSS" starch, one large 10c package of "HUBINGER'S BEST" starch, two Shakspeare pic­ tures, printed In twelve beautiful col­ ors, as natural as life, or one Twenti­ eth Century Girl Calendar, the finest Of Its kind ever printed, all absolutely free.

The distinguished statistician, M. G. Mulhall, who for many years has fouud a favorite study in the development of the resources of our great republic, contrib­ utes to the October number of the North American Review a striking article, en­ titled "Five Years, of American Pro­ gress." His statements and figures con­ stitute a marvelous exhibit- of national strength and pro!»|>erity. Mr. Muirinl! ventures a prediction as to the population of the United States at the next census: "The decline of immigration may be traced directly to the vexatious regula­ tions against what are termed 'Eqrojiean paupers,' but it is not so easy to account for the diminished rate of natural !iU crease. We must suppose either a higher death rate or a lower birth rate, and the former is the more probable, in view of the exceedingly rapid growth of urban population, while there is no reason to suppose a declining birth rate. In fact.- to judfce by European countries, the birth rate of towns is usually higher than that of rural districts. It may be well here to observe that, according to the growth of population in the last five years the cen­ sus of 1900 ought to show 77,300,000 in­ habitants." frHP (OLLtta thecome- T.itailr.a ajgaibs d s em* town.

The principal reason that coli# struck nnd not cast is the well-known fact that molten metals contract on cooling. Thus counterfeit coins, which are always cast show fatal variations in size, which authentic stamped coins do not. Secondly, It Is Impossi­ ble to get the same sharpness of. de­ lineation as In stamping and lastly, when the stamping machine is once set up the process of striking coins is in­ finitely cheaper and more rapid than that of casting ever could be.
