The Anurcliist memorial celebration at
"bieago was very tame, in fact the only notu
Worthy incident was furnished by Mrs. Lucy
l'arsoiis, who, in defiance of the police pro
hibition of red Hags, hung one from the win
dow of her residence on Milwaukee avenue
early in the day. A oiicemau was sent to
her house to notify Iter to take down the
Anarchist emblem ''This is a free coun
try," said Mrs. l'arsons "Why can't I wave
the Hag of in v doctrine'.'" "Hecause my or
ders are to pull it down," said the patrolman,
nnd without further parley he tore down tht
flag and took it to the stution. Mrs 1'arsoni
fumed for awhilo and then lef for Wald
hvi m.
The day was dreary and cold, nnd lack ol
enthusiasm was the most noticeable feature
of the celebration at Wuldheiui Cemetery.
From a crowd of 5,000 lust year the attend
ance on Suuduy last had dwindled to less
than U.oon, of this number not a few were
merely curious spectators. The floral dec
orations ut the graves of the executed men
were profuse and beautiful. The only in
scription among the various offerings which
Lad any of the old time Anarchist style was
that from the l'ioueer Aid Society reading:
"Murdered, but still alive."
During the exercises Miss Spies, Mrs.
Schwab and Mrs. Fischer stood by the graves,
while Mrs. l'ursous, sitting on the damp
ground by her husband's grave with her lit
tle hoy by her side, buried her face in her
liaukerchief und abandoned herself to tears.
After musical selections by the band und a
singing society C. G. Clemens, of Toa.-ku,
Kun., and i'uul Grot'kau made sccchcs. No
disturbance occurred throughout the day.
Indeed, tne luck of enthusiasm w hich gen

The bearing of the Cronln trial was re

in better humor after a day's rest. 'The
crowd was larger than on any day of the
trial so far.
R. T, Stanton, a printer of I.nkevlew, tes
tillisl to having printed a lot of cards for
O'Sullivan the latter part of April. The curds
were delivered to U'.sullivan by a boy in
witness's employ, May '2. WitneM identi
fied the card handed to Dr. Crouin by the
assassin's messenger as beinj exactly like
those be printed. On cross-examination the
defence tried to show that It was possible for
other persons beside O'Sulli van to buve got
ten bold of Hi 'Hi" of the cards.
Kx t'apt.iin Villiers was recalled to resume
the tracing of the trunk, and with the nid of
a map rhowed the territory between O'Sulli
van's bouse, the Carl-on cottage, catch basin
and the ditch where the trunk was found.
Other witnesses testified to the finding of
their-Ik which wils brought into court,
and 1 e C .clitimi of the Carlson cottage.
The sensation of the day was the evidence
of William I.. James, a youth, who positive
ly identified Kunze, one of tlie defeinlants,
as the man who occupied the rvrni in the
Clark building when tho furniture, lifter
ward removed to the Carlson cottage, was
stored by the conspirators before they had
completed their plans.
A number of w itnesses were examined In
the Cronin trial Thurdny, and some of th
testimony elicited was decidedly important.
O Sullivan and Kunze, in particular, were
implicated in the plot to murder (some

Tor tho first time in the lu-tory of natural
pas its commercial standing has b.-eu fixed
by a court of npp .i:e jurisdiction. The
Supreme Court of Indiana handed down a
decision, in which all the judges concur, in
which il is held that natural gas may be
come a commercial ennmodity, mid that
the State legislature cannot en set
any law regulating commerce, be
tween the States, for the reason that
the Federal Constitution forbids the States
from legislating on the subject. Therefore,
the Legislative act of last winter prohibiting
the piping of gas out of the State is unconsti
tutional. The law was passed to prevent the
Chicago Gas Trust from piping gas to Chi
cago, and under this decision work will be
gin ut once to connect the gas fields with the
City by the Lake. The home gas compan
ies hoped that tne Court could give the law
some standing by holding that foreigners
inight not- condemn the right of way over
which to pipe Kit". This was their strong
hope, but it Comes to uauglit.

The return trip to Washington Is now In

: the first session of the International Ameri

j The main question thut will bo considered
I are these; 'J be grunting of subsidies to

measures that now prove a barrier to trade;

a Roard of Arbitration that will settle ull dis
puted question tbat may arise on tho Ameri

All agree that the subsidy question is one
of the greatest importance, and must be set
tled before anything elso can be done.
The tariff question will bo a delicate one
to hntidle, but the majority of the foreigners
say that the questions will be considered
without regard to politics. Senor Gill, of
Ecuador, made the following statement,
which shows how the principal questions
are considered: "Tho Republicans must
pass a modified tariff law of somo sort; tho
Democrats must allow subsidies to bo
granted."
The metri. system is nlr ndy in use In all
South American countries, and a reomuie
dat icn for its universal adoption on this con
tinent will be probably unanimous.
The arbitration question will bo presented
by Ecuador, mi 1 it bus many wunu adhe

many minor ones to bo brought up and the
Conference w ill be a busy one.

THE CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
DCR'S BEPORT SHOWS AN KNOOf BAOINU STATB
orArrAius all around.
The business outlook continues to improre.
A I the news this week is favorablo for the
public, even the decision adverse to the Sugar
Trust and tlio exposure and proposed re
organization in cotton oil are hopeful signs.
The monetary situation has decidedly lm.
proved hero and abroad, and while the Rank
of England rato is still held at 5 per cent.,
money is quoted in open market at 2) er
cent. Thut bank bt tr.1,150 for the week,
hut the Hunk ol France gained V,0n0, and
fall In foreign exchange to II 85, or lower,
shows that apprehension for a foreign de
mand for specie have vanished.
The volume of business is still enormous,
and the bank clearings for October exceeded
those of last year by 5 per cent, over the
previous year. Roston showed a loss, Chi
cago little chang", and Philadelphia a gain
of l'l per cent, over last year, while the gain
at all other cities outside New York aver
aged l't.Gper cent. Most of the increase In
payments comes from legitimate business,
for spwu'ntion Is still restricted, except in
trust stocks, These began to rally, but were
met with the decision adverse to the Sugar
Trust and tho disclosure that over f .siO.OOO
had been lost for cotton oil stockholders in
attempts to sustain the market.
Peculation in wheat was temporarily
stimulated by an ofllcfal publication by Mr.
Dodge, the Government statistician, putting
the probable yield at 4i.n (is) bus, vis.
Whether the paer had left bis hands befo.0
the olllcial returns, indicating a larger acre
age mid yield were made up, no one seems
to have nsked. Rut the lowest estimate
would have the supply for exort much be
yond the largest foreign demand iu recent
years, and the net e.iilt f,,r the week has J
been a do line of j of a cent, with sales of j
only 10,00 ,() bushels. Com is an eighth
stronger and oats Jc, hut pork is half a dollar J
nnd atd half u cent lower, nil has advanced
4 cents, with moderate trading, and Coll'ee is i
unchanged. Tho merely inominal price
of raw sugar has been made actual,
the Trust having entered the market as a'
buyer ut 4j cents for Muscovado and f for'
U0 degree centrifugal, but rcliucd shows a J
decline of i cent. I
It csn only bo reckoned a sign of improve- '
ment that wool has yielded about 1 cent per j
K)uml, since the concession has induced I
considerable buying. Manufacturers hold
that no advance Is possibly iu be ivy wool
ens an l h ive bought little except at reduced
prices. There Is aiorc encouragement in the
clothing trade of Philadelphia, but some
tardiness in collections duo to on weather.
Cotton is also more uctive mid i lower, with
sales for the week ol 010,000 bules, exorts
for the week falling below last year's by 2.V
100 bules, while receipts thow on increase of
30.000.

STREWN WITH THE DEAD.

A special Crom Dayton, N. M., says: Un
less the snowstorm which has been raging
for 8 days comes to an end soon, next sum
mer will show a country covered with tho
dead bodies of animals as thickly as was
the old Santa F tr ill In the sixties. The
depth of snow is now not much less than 2 1
Inches on a level, and In many placos It has
drifted 7 feet high. When the storm struck
thisM"tion 7 largo herds of cttl. number
ing from 4-X) to 2.0n, wore being held near
this place awaiting shipment to Eastern
markets. The recent rain was followed by
hlizturds of snow and sleet which sent the
herds In a southerly direction.
Iu vain did the already half frozen cow
boys ry to check the inarch of tho herds,
but on they went through the Increasing
storm until finding it utterly Impossible to
hold the cattle, the cowboys roilo aside and
let them piss nnd when nearly dead rode tho
exhausted horsei Into canyotts on partially
sheltered places, where they passed many
hours of misery, without fiwxl or fire. Two
cowboys drifted into a canyon w here they
found a ce lur tree with a rut's nest In it.
'i bey manrgcd.to light a tire' with this. Dur-1
lug the second night one of their horses died
from cold, mid having nothing to eat the
men cut pieces of flesh from the dead animal
w hich they warmed and ate without salt.
After remaining there sixty hours they start

ships from their weakened condition niun-
aged to reach the ranch, thirty miles away,
where they were aired for. j
Henry Miller, John Martin, Charles Jolly

The snow blockade on the Denver, Texas
i. Fort Worth Railway, running due south
from Denver, Colorado, has been raised,
snd Saturday evening, for tho first time in 8
days, a through train arrived from the
South.
The situation along tho line was rapidly
becoming desfierute, as entire towns had ruu
short of supplies, while ranches within aru
dius of 15 or 2) miles were completely clean
ed out of stores. Stockmen say they huve
never ex erieuced such a blizzard on the
southern ranges in the vicinity of Folsoni,
N. M. It is suid on good authority that 50,
OoO sheep were on tho drive to the railway for
shipment to Nebraska and Kansas us feed
ers. The fall of snow bus averaged over three
leet on tbe level, while the force of the wind
bus piled the snow into drifts ns high as 15
und 20 feet. Hardy range c ittle were unable
to face the terrible blasts or rustle to uncov
er the gruss or Hud wuter. The loss of beef
is simply enormous.
Advices from ueurest points continue to
tell of great loss of li e among shephcrJs und
cowboys who remained faithful to their
Hocks und died at their posts of duty. A
special from Raton, N. M , States thut losses
on cuttle alone will aggregate 10,000 heud and
result in the ruin of several couipunles. R.
G. Head, manager of tho Hea l Ranch and
Cuttle Company, left Denver Tuesday morn
ing with cotlins for three of the herders who
jierished the first day of the blizzard. Ill
hud .'00 miles to t uvel, but only reaches I
Folsoni Suturduy evening. Tho last 7. miles
between Trinidad and Folsoni occupies threw
days.
