WILMINGTON, N. C. Wednesday Morning, Dec. 2, 1891 CHICAGO MARKET REVIEW. Fluctuations tn Prioes of Grain and Provisions. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Chicago, Dec. 1. Wheat was strong and advancingduring the forenoon to day, but later it grew weak- and made a decided slump, closing materially lower; The influence which governed its move ments were chiefly local, the early news was chiefly of a bearish character. Fear of December liquidation, which has been a depressing factor for some time. "lost its influence after the deliveries to day, and this with the steady decline which has been going on lor some time, led to some buying by the friends of wheat, while the selling furor was some- 1 . 1 1 .4 Ti 1 'J advance; Dec opened c lower at 91 ah n Arr noM TUnM the lower closing cables together with increased stocks at Liverpool, created weakness. ' There was a good deal of wheat thrown on the market on long ac count, bought early, and some short wheat on the way; prices tumbled short' ly before the close from 92c. December dropped m the last hour to 90c, and closet! at 0c. Corn was strong early on coverii by shorts, who had miscalculated the ef fect of the November deal. They had sold short on the theory that there would be a reaction. After that the deal was closed out. Finding that they were mistaken this morning, they began to buy in their shorts. December which opened at 46c. was bid up to 47Jc, but broke with November to 46Jc at which it closed. Oats followed corn and were without independent feature. Hog products opened easier owing to free deliveries ana the continued enormous receipts and lower prices for hoes. There was rather free covering by shorts, how ever, ana prices rallied some alter a time; then there was another recession. and the loss was at or near the bottom and at a moderate decline from yester day's close. - . BRAZILIAN AFFAIRS. vonmcung reports Dispatches JLndenUy Colored by the Senders. Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. T AATTMt T a J : r T" .uvjii . ici x. nuvicca irorii ora- zi! regarding the situation in Rio Grande do Sul are of such an extremely conflicting character, it is nearly im possible to conceive the true situation there. A dispatch was received here to day "from the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs, stating that immedi ately upon the restoration of legal gov ernment of the State, after deposition cf the dictator, Da-Fonseca, the insur gents laid down their arms and that Se- the Rio Grande Do Sul as represen tative of the government, has been satisfactorily received by the people. This dispatch does not in any way agree with the statement telegraphed yester day that the people of Rio Grande do Sue had refused to obey the Orders sent from Rio Janeiro instructing the au thorities to restore Governor Castilnos to office; that national guards had been mobilized; that the greatest excitement prevailed and that a serious outcome was looked forward to. Brazilian dispatches are evidently colored by the wishes of senders, and of course, with censorship of cables re moved, each side endeavors to impress the outside world with its own view of the situation. -COTTON FUTURES. The New York Futures Market Yesterday By Telegraph to the Morning Star. cotton circular savs: Futures opened lower, further de clined, and closed barely steady at 10 to 14 points reduction from the final figures of yesterday. The bears made a savage attack upon the market to-day with a good degree of success. They had the aid of a very weak market at Liverpool, private advices being even more dis couraging than the published reports. Then it was cviAcr.t that fha . - raa uia tress at the South under the load that is carried, reflected in the fact that the early months declined more than later months. There was nothing in the crop movement that had special significance. There was a decline from last year at the ports and at the. big four interior towns, but this had po influence in view of the vast accumulation of bales, and the final figures were among the lowest of the day.

FOR THE SPEAK v --7--J:: '.: ; ERSHIP. - - " am Five of the Candidates Hopeful Ex - Congressman ilcClammy a Candidate for Postmaster of the House. . . By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Dec. 1. The Speaker ship contest is increasing in liveliness and interest . with ' each 7 day, and this morning there was a fair accession made to the list ' of members . in town. Al five of the candidates expressed them selves as hopeful and - reported , matters progressing satisfactorily from their point of view, which is in the case o the two leaders that the speakership wiilbe settled very early in the caucus and in the case of the Other three can didates that they with the assistance of a candidate with the second highest number of votes will be able to hold the leaders in check and if his lines can be forced, then way will be opened -1 for a second choice - man. One -important statement to-day is made by Gen. Cutch- mgs, ot Miss., one of Mr. Crisp s chief lieutenants, that the Georgiacandidate has captured the entire Democratic delegation from New Jersey. Mr. Crisp's friends also said they had assurances o: four votes from New England. Mr. Mills was sanguine that forces were working favorably to his interest, and expressed himself as entirely conn dent of the result. The aim of the two candidates who are generally conceded to occupy the loremost position in the race is to concentrate tneir votes in sections where they nave a ciear ma jority, and to induce members who are inclined to vote for some one else to re consider gtheir inclination and go with the majority in their respective State delegations, inus tne Aims men are endeavoring to make New England a unit, and they say they expect all votes from that section except two. This claim, however, is not conceded by the other candidates, nor is Mr. Crisp's claim to New. jersey conceded Mr. Crisp is also working to make State delegations where he is strong and solid, l here win this evening be a meeting of the Indiana delegation to consider Mr. Dalton's canvass for clerk ship, but it would not be surprising if there should be an lnlormal discussion over -the speakership. Maryland and New England have also decided to hold State and section caucuses later to-mor row, and the iormer about the end of the week. Mr. McMillen said to-day that he saw no reason to change his -opinion that the fight would be a long one, in which case his strength would increase, ana ne ieit tuat matters were going along satisfactorily. Springle was also in a cheerful mood, and said he was more than holding bis own as respects "first choice' votes and had to-day made material pro gress in providing for the event of a break among other candidates, a great many representatives having given him assurances that he would - get their votes whenever they changed. The arrival of Judge Holrnan, of In diana, and announcement of his posi tion on the speakership are awaited with some interest. Friends ot Mills express more confidence than those of any one else of securing his support. It is reponea that rio.man has for months been in correspondence with many new members of the House, which fact it is said would increase the weight of his opinion. At Hatch s headquarters it was said that things were "quiet." A good many persons had called to pay their respects. iaoGiaates lor minor offices are be ginning an active campaign. Marsh, of Pennsylvania, has probably withdrawn from the contest for Clerk of the House. and Pennsylvania is advocating the claims of Kerr, while Indiana is urging Daltons selection for postmaster, and then ex-Congressman McClammy, of North Carolina, has become a candi date. James R. Fisher, former assis tant postmaster and chairman of the Virginia Democratic State Central Com mittee, is iegarded with favor by many members for this position. TRAIN ROBBERS. $15,000 Taken From an Express Car Hear St. Louis, Mo. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. St. Louis, Dec. 1. One of the most daring train robberies that has occurred for years was Deroetrated nn th St Louis and San Francisco road almost within the limits of- St. Louis last night. When passenger train No. 3 on t hnr road left the depot last night -at 8.25 o'clock. it was twpntt.fivc minutes late. The limits ot the city had been passed and the engi neer was Dreoarinc to mal . nn tr.r lost time, when three men whn had boarded the train at Old fWharl climbed over the water tank and r-rial and covered the engineer and fireman with revolvers. The fireman was or dered to stop the train near .Glendale, and as an additional inducement to him to obey orders, three men .who were in ambush at that point opened fire on the train, but whether they succeeded in wounding any one is not yet learned. When the train had been brought to a stand the engineer and fireman were ordered down from the cab, and after detailing two, of ,the band to keep guard over them the other lour men started back tor the express car m which was the safe of the Adams Express Co. containing about $15,000. Messenger Mulrenen, in charge of the car, Jiad ob served the. slackening of the train and had opened the door of the car to see what the matter was, suspecting some thing wrong and becoming suspicious of the men he saw advancing toward him, hurriedly closed and secured the door just as the men reached it. The robbers first tried to induce him' to open it, and failing, tried to pry it open, bat the stout door failed all their efforts, and after spending about ten minutes in this work, they put a charge of dynamite un der the door and blew it open. As soon as the door was broken four men leaped into it. Mulrenen made a brave resistance,-but the robbers turned on him and after beating him into a condition of passivity with the butts of their re volvers, began operations on the safe. This did not long resist their attacks, and after rifling it of its contents the guard was called off and the despera does took to the woods, The issue of the new Windom $2 sil in ce"'ficates began yesterday morn ing.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. .".v;' Nashville, - Tenn Dec. i. The following special was received . from Knoxville, Tenn., last night : ' . . s information ; reached thisr place . to night of more trouble in the mining re gion at Oliyer Springs. : This is one of the places where the stockade and other property was burned- and convicts re leased. There has-been another reign of terror mere auring tne nun three or tour days. It started Fridajmight when the free miners got on a big drunk, should ered their Winchesters and marched on houses where negro- miners were em ployed. It will be remembered that when their convicts were turned looe the Cumberland Mining Company through : its President, Captain Ren fro. of Atlanta, announced that it would employ free labor immediately and every miner, white or colored, to be had was put to workr Things moved peaceably until Friday, when the white miners determined to run off the ne groes. They attacked their houses, firing hundreds of shots, and told the negroes that if they did not leave with in twenty-four hours all would be killed. A number of the negroes fled; others more bold, called on the president of the company for protection. He se cured the names Of ten of the leaders of the mob and took out warrants for their arrest. The men fled to the mountains, though the officers succeeded in cap turing two. They postponed their trial, and on Saturday the white miners struck because their demand that the warrants against the ten men be dis missed was refused. There are now no men at work. Nashville, December 1. There was a meeting to-day in . the Governor's office regarding the convict trouble. Besides the Governor and three p-ison inspectors, the Treasurer, Secretary of State, Comptroller. Superintendent of Prisons and the Warden, were present. The status of affairs was discussed, and the superintendent was authorized to employ 100 men at Brlceville and 100 men at Coal Creek for guard duty, should that many be required. Nothing was done in regard to Oliver Springs, but the same number will prob ably be allowed there. It is pretty cer tain that it is the Governor's intention to create a military guard of at least seventy-five men at each stockade. As soon as the stockades are finished . the recap tured convicts will be marched into them against whatever opposition may be offered. Their capture has alreadv cost the State $9,699. DtBT STATEMENT.
