By T.legraph to tha Moraine Star. Chicago, October 81. Ia great con trait with tbe exciting scene witnessed in tbe grain trade on every day within the past month were to day's markets. A little animation was noted at the opening, bat with that all activity ended and for the remainder of the half ses sion a dull, listless feeling prevailed. As is generally the case, dullness brought weakness with it and the tendency of prices was to gag. Scalpers were the only traders, commission houses report ioe a dearth of orders, whiltt influential professionals were not in the markets. Liverpool failed to follow our advance of yesterday, a mere gain being re ported at tbat pl&ce, whereas an equiv alent would have been at least a penny. x t nca uucucu U4 auuui 7 iyi ecus- tion, which was established on the curb, declined lc, rallied slightly and held steady. December wheat opened from 73& to ?3c. declined to 72c closing at 7723c ic nnder ; yesterday iasn wheat was steady. Corn There was no trade and some people ascribed the steadiness to the In activity. May corn opened at 283c. sold between 28 and 28c, closing at 2328&c ic hignec than yes terday. Cash corn was steady at yes' terdav's prices. Oats were disposed to emulate the tone of the corn market. May oats closed Uc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were steady with no material altera' ; tions in prices. ' Provisions Business was slightly more active, some eventeg np for the week and month taking place.

Fatcres here advanced seven to nine points, bat reacted slightly, closing steady at a net advance of five to seven paints, with sales of 96.800 bales. The trading to-day was quiet and al most wholly local, but the tendency of prices was upward. The Chronic Ws weekly statistical report showed a much smaller movement than had been expect ed and there was some covering by local shorts, while the advance in Liverpool and a good demand for spot cotton there , contributed to strengthen tbe tone. The Cftntkar atrvSNt- m n alr at T el ssvakraw firm Ollrl New Orleans futures advanced. Before the close there was ar slight reaction on telling toy 'scalpers.

Twenty-one Spaeohea Hark the Day's Record Crowds at . Every FUo Greeted tha Speaker. Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. Council Bluffs, Iowa, Oct. 81. The last day of the last week in William Bryan's ' memorable election tour ended to-nigbt in a blaze of fireworks and a wild vent of enthusiasm. To morrow tbe candidate will repose at his Lincoln home, and on Monday he will make bis final assault on tbe Republi can defences, devoting the entire day to his own State, and concluding his extra ordinary -campaign at Omaha in tbe evening. All through Iowa to-day tbe bead of the Chicago ticket saw the golden danger signal of what he has termed the ' yellow fever." At nearly every town visited on bis trip across the State from the time he entered it early in the morning until he reached the banks of the Missouri, alter dark, he found material evidence of Republican sentiment displayed through devices emblematic of tbe gold standard. At some places the atmosphere took on a decided orange tint. Men and women, boys and girls, and even babies carried in the arms of their mothers were attired in golden regalia; ' Osceola and Redack made tbe most notable displays ot the orange. At the last named place shouts for McKinley from the crowd Mr. Bryan was addressing brought responses more emphatic than good; so emphatic tbat tbe counter-demonstration was aban doned. At Osceola, too, a disposition to mke the nominee uncomfortable was shown. He was equal to the occasion. bowever, and his reply brought de lighted shouts from his followers. But displays of golden emblems . and attempts to embarrass tbe man from Nebraska did not constitute tbe entire story of the journey through the State. It was a day ot remarkable crowds, of wild enthusiasm, of a venting of that surplus political emotion, wnich the close of tbe campaign made necessary, If Major McKinley friends were anx ious to show their loyalty, so were the supporters of Mr. Bryan as earnest -in that desire toward the leader. The demonstrations for the young Demo cratic standard bearer were extraor dinary. He was cheered from one end of Iowa to the other with a heartiness that could not be mistaken. As a rile, the wearers of the yellow contented themselves with making their display in the neighborhood of the candidate's special train or along the streets through which be passed, while bis own people composed the big throngs that congregated to hear him expound the doctrine of 16 to 1. Brass bands, young women in costumes of white and silver. marching clubs and a liberal display of Bryan badges all had their part in tbe demonstrations. Twenty-one speeches, including three at Ottumwa and four here to-night, con stituted the day's record. The others were made at Mount Pleasant, Fairfield, Batavia. Albia, Chariton, Osceola, Crea ton. Corning, Vilison. Red Oak. Hast ings, Malvern, Glenwood and Pacific Junction. Mr. Bryan's second addreas at Ottumwa was the most important of the day. It was devoted to summing up tbe campaign and caused those who heard it to become wild with entbu siasm. Ottumwa, Iowa, October 81. A summing up of tbe campaign was given b? W.I. Bryan in a speech he delivered here this morning. During tbe hour, spent in Ottumwa, Mr. Bryan talked to three audiences. He arose early after a night of shouts and howls from oeoole who gathered at little stations along his route from Madison in tbe hope of see ing the candidate. At freeport, ill reached after midnight, about 4,000 people were waiting for a speech, but as Mr. Bryan had spoken there earlier this week, and as be was so thoroughly tired out, those in charge ot his trip would not waken him. Mount fleasant was tbe first speech-making point this morn ing. It was 7 o clock wben tbat place was reached and the air was biting cold, Fairfield came next, and Mr. Bryan talked there from a temporary platform to a couple of thousand persons. At Batavia there was a short stop and some hand-shaking, bat no speech. Ottumwa's crowds were large and lull of enthusiasm. A big gathering of laboring men at facaing House cross ing heard .Mr. Bryan first. At the Giand Opera House he made his am mmg up, reviewing tbe issues of the campaign from a Democratic stand point. Tbe Opera House was packed witn numanity, ana tne nominee re ceived an ovation. Then he went to Central Park, a public square in the business part of the tows, and talked to another large audience. An outcrop ping of gold badges was noticeable at Albia,1 where 8.000 people beard Mr. Bryan make an open air address. It was as nothing, however, to the Repub lican display at Chariton. Tbe yellow was, everywhere, some men and some women were literally covered with it. The gold badges did not frighten tbe ardent Democrats in the Chariton gatherings They cheered with all the more energy, and succeeded in making a flattering demonstration. Mr. Bryan made a fifteen-minutes speech. Osceola, Iowa, October 31. When Mr. Bryan was shown the table publish' ed in the morning papers as the estimate of Chairman Hanna, of the Republican National Committee, and asked if he had anything to say as to its correct- nest, he made this answer : 1 shall leave the National Commit tee to issue estimates, but 11 1 were to express an opinion upon his (Mr. Han na's) table, I should say tbat fully one- half ot the electoral votes ; which he counts upon will be found in tbe free silver column. Unless the reports which come to ns from various States are en tirely erroneous, we shall have consider ble more than 800 electoral votes." Mr. Bryan also stated that he was con- firmed in the opinion, uttered sometime ago, tbat study of the money question had increased tbe numberjof Republicans who would support free silver and bad decreased the number of gold-standard Democrats. Council Bluffs, Ia October 81. Thousands of wildly enthusiastic Bryan i.es thronged tbe streets of Council Bluffs to-night and gave the heartiest sort of a welcome to Wm. T. Bryan when be arrived at 7 o'clock. The can didate and the procession that escorted him to tbe Dohany Opera House, where ne made nis nrst speech, passed nnder a literal archway of pyrotechnics, and all along tbe route wild cheering of those in tbe parade and on the side walks wasjaugmented by a continual fir ing of shotguns held by a squad of farmers. , The Opera House was crowded to the doors, and Mr. Bryan received an ova tion. He spoke again in a big hall used as Democratic headquarters, where many of his most partisan supporters had gathered to do him honor. A third addreas was made .to an assemblage that crowded a tent - erected for tbe purpose, and be concluded the night s speech' making and bis lowa campaign from a platform erected in front of the Grand Hotel, aronnd which a great throng had -gathered.. . Mr. and Mrs. Bryan will spend the night at tbe bouse of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Evans, a former Republican, and in the morning will go to Lincoln on tbe nomi nee s special car.

ESTIMATE OF THE VOTE BY THE DEMOCRATIC NATIOMAL COM MITTEE Assures tha Damoeratle Candidate 253 Elec toral Votes With An Evan Chaooe in Djubtru 8 1 ei Chairman Jones Ap peal to Voteri. Br Telegraph, to the Morning Star. 1 Chicago, October 81. The 'last ap peal and warning to voters, together with an estimate of the Bryan vote in the Electoral College, was issued by Senator Jones on behalf of the Demo cratic National Committee as follows: The great struggle-to right the wrong ot 1878 has been won. The only work remaining to be done is to see that the people have tbe opportunity to vote as their consciences dictate and that their votrs shall be counted as cast. - I urge all lovers of the country and our institutions to exert themselves as they never have before in this holy cause. Watch the polling places, scrutin ize every act at the polls and see to it that the law shall not be violated.- "This committee, has offered a reward of $500 for evidercs necessary to convict anyone guilty of bribing or attempting to bribe any voter to vote ' or refrain from voting; also, a reward of 1500 for ev.dence to convict aiy one of cosrciag. attempting to coerce, intimidating or at tempting to intimidate any voter. Mr. Hearst, of the New York Journal, with the patriotism and liberality which. has characterized him throughout this straggle, has offered an additional re ward of tl 000 for the same purpose. These rewards will result in the detec tion of any attempt to corrupt or coerce the voters and will defeat the Republican conspiracy to steal the electiou. I have received from the chairman of each State committee full estimates of tbe standing of voters in each State and am confident that Mr. Bryan election is assured by a veiy larte majority. He will carry tbe following btates: Alabama, Arkansas California. Colorado. Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Ken tucky. Louisiana. Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi. Missouri, Mon tana, Nebraska, Nevada. North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina. South Dakota, Tennessee. Texas. Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming, with their 253 electoral votes. , - in tne louowing btates l look upon Mr. Bryan s chances as the best: Dela ware, lowa, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin a total of 75 electoral votes. There are other States I regard as doubtful. 1 'J as. K. Jones, Chairman "Democratic National Committee. FOREIGN NEWS. Negotiations For a Coafarenoe of the Powera on tbe Turkish Question Statement That the Vene- -saelan Siffioulty Heis Been Settled. - By Cable to the Morning Stat'. LONDON, Oct. 81. The progress of the negotiations for the holding of tbe conference on the Turkish question, pro posed to tbe Powers by Prime Minister Salisbury, is favorable. Tbe official ex pectation in London is tbat Lord Salis bury will be able to announce at the Lord Mayor s banquet at the Guild Hall on November 9th, that tbe conference has fixed on terms that are likely to re suit in tbe preserving df peace. The fact that the holding of such a confer ence is virtually a crushing defeat ot British diplomacy does not enter tbe mind of the average Briton. Reliable thought through the Foreign Ofnce credits the saltan with appoint ing a private commission, composed of distinguished and wealthy Turks, with other personages outside of official cir cles, to inquire independently, into tbe Anatolia troubles and the Constant! nople riots. The obvious intention of the Sultan is to pose as a truth-seeker and impartial investigator. Another intended announcement at the banquet, towards the enabling ot hich the Foreign Office is making strenuous efforts, is a statement tbat tbe Venezenlan difficulty has been settled Sir Julian Paunctfote, the Brit if m Am bassador to the United States, has been instructed by the Foreign Office to acce! erate tbe negotiations. Tbe Cabinet will meet on November 4th and again on November 7th. when the mimsteralists hope tbat Lord Salis bury will be able to tell his colleagues of tbe success of bis diplomacy regarding tbe European and American questions. Madrid. - October 81. A cyclone swept over tbe city and province of Seville on Wednesday, wrecking a great many houses and killing and iciuring a number of their inhabitants. The storm covered a wide area, in which tbe wires rere prostrated, cutting off communi cation and greatly delaying the appeals lor assistance made by the sufferers. A FEARFUL EXPLOSION. Seoraa of uonaea to Geneve, Indiana, Wreaked. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Geneva, October 81. The Empire Magazine, situated half a mile west and north of this city, exploded this morn ing. Seven hundred quarts of nitro glycerine, which were stored there, tore the magazine to. atoms and wrecked scores of houses in this city. Hundreds ot windows were blown out. walls were cracked and chimneys were torn down. It is reported that a wagon was unload ing at the magazine at the time of the explosion. . The rumor has not been positively verified, but it is believed that such is the case. Not a tiace of a wagon, norses or driver can be lound. A remarkable fact is that the Hercu les Torpedo Company's Magazine, situ ated only 75 yards from the Empire Magazine, did not exolode. Twenty-five nunareo quarts oi . explosives were stored in toe Hercules Magct ne where a wall was blown in. M'KINLEYITES PARADE. Bepnbliean Demonstration in Hew Totk , City A Handled Thousand Hen ; in Line. By Telegraph to the MomiuavStar. -r New York, October 31. What undoubtedly goes on record as the greatest political parade in tbe his tory of this country was finished at 6.30 to-night, at which hour the last of the paraders in the great demon stration in honor of McKinley and Hobart, passed the reviewing; stand at Madison Square. One "hundred thousand men marched in line. Vice Presidential Candidate Hobart, Got. Levi P. . Morton, members of the Republican National Committee and others looked upon the scene from the reviewing stand all day, and everybody, including nearly a half million onlookers, was unanimous ia declaring that such a spectacle as was presented in to-day's parade had.no parallel in American history.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. . Atlanta, . Ga., October 8L The Republican gain is problematical. The Populists having withdrawn their elec toral ticket, in Mr. Watson's own State, Bryan and Sewall will receive not only the practical solid vote of the Demo crats, but also a great many from the Populists. It is not believed tbat tbe Palmer and Bucaner ticket in this btate will poll as many as 5.000 votes. Mc Kinley will get the solid Republican vote of the State. It Is estimated that the Democratic plurality will be ap proximately 50.000. the Democratic State ticket receiving 58.000 in the October election. There seems to be no doubt tbat every Democratic nom inee for Congress will be elected. Richmond. Va October 81. Vir ginia votes Tuesday for Presidential electors and congressmen only, and tbe prospect is tbat a very large vote will be brought out. The canvass has been one of the most heated in years, and personal feeling has entered very largely into it, especially between the regular and tbe National Democrats. Both tbe Repub lican and the Democratic parties claim the State on the national ticket, but will give no figures. There is hardly reason' for doubt, however that it will go Demo cratic , Jacksonville, Fla.. Oct 81. The' indications are that Florida will give her four electoral votes to Bryan and Sewali next Tuesday, though the gold Demo crats and Republicans express them selves as not without hope. They claim that there is a large silent vote which will be cast against Bryan and may cost him the State. They are also hopeful that the railroad vote, which is large. ill be cast against Bryan, though here tofore Democratic. The best political jodes t built the State will give Bryan 7.000 to 10.000 majo rity over tbe com bined opposition. Birmingham, Oct. 81. A conserva tive estimate, considered below that Di Chairman Shelly, of tbe campaign com mittee, places Bryan's majority at 40,- 000. The defection of gold Democrats will be more than offset by tbe Popu lists, tbe great body of whom is ex pected to vote for Bryan, and Sfewall. Tbe middle-of-the-road element will stick to Watson, but its strength ' has been overestimated. Bryan will also get many Republican votes, due to the exertions of ex-Governor Smith, one of their most trusted leaders, who has been earnestly advocating the Chicago ticket for tbe past month. As to the Congres sional situation tbere is little doobt of the election of eight Representatives in accord with the Chicago platform. New Orleans La, October 81. Reliable information from all the par ishes of Louisiana indicate that tbe election on Tuesday will result about as follows: - Bryan's majority in the State will be 85,000 to 40.000. The four Populist electors who are on the regular Demo cratic ticket, as tbe result of the fusion of the Democrats and Populists, will cast their vote for Bryan and Watson, leaving four electoral votes to be cast for Bryan and Sewall; but political pres sure might be brought to bear on the Populist electors sufficiently strong to make them vote for Bryan and Sewall. This, however, is unlikely. The Demo crats will elect Congressmen in the First, Second, Fourth and Sixth dis tricts, with some 'ehance in the Third. Nashville, Tinn., October 81'. The campaign in Tennessee has furnished plenty of excitement, everybody seems to betaking a band and tbe indications are that over 280,000 votes will be polled more than ever before In the history of the State. The gold Democrats for a while caused some doubt over the situ ation because it was not known how many there were, bnt as the cam paign proceeded it became evident tbat their strength was not as great as at first thought. ' Still it wilt probably reach as high as ten thousand, half of which will so to' McKinley and half to Palmer. The Democratic plurality in 1892 was 80.000. Ten thousand should be taken from this for bolting Democrats, This will be made np by the accession of 12X00 Popnlists votes. Tbere were 23,000 Populists in 1802. It is estimated that jthey will be about evenly divided between the Bryan and Sewall ticket and the Bryan and Watson ticket. Democrats will gain about 8.C00 silver Republicans. This will make a bard lead for the Kepubii cans to overcome and they will have to get an unprecedented vote in order to do it. This they claim they are going to do Thev are claiming with great deal of confidence the election of their candidate for- -Governor, G. N. Tillman, over R, L. Taylor, Democrat They admit that Bryan will lead Taylor several thousand vote?, bnt now claim that while the race will be closetJ if the tide is running right, McKinley will easily turu the trick in Tennessee. On the other band the Democratic Committee appears serenely confi aent, and claim the state Dy upwards of 35,000. From an impartial stand point it would appear that Bryan is reasonably certain of carrying the State by 20,000 and over. GOLD IMPORTATIONS.

Gentle, reliable and sure. t The EngUeli Militia. The militia is now between 500 and 600 officers below the establish ment, and the n amber of vacancies tends to "increase. The chief cause of this is the great agricultural de pression, wbioh has utterly ruined the smaller landowners who former ly offioered tbe militia and has crip pled the great ones. Tbe landed gentry are living abroad or are crowding into the cities to earn a living. Every younger son and most elder ones are going into business and find they have no time to devote to soldiering. A man who only gets few weeks' holiday can hardly be expected to spend a month of it at gome dull country town or at some camp of instruction and give np all forms of sport Many regiments have had a number of vacancies for many years, and this causes a large amount of extra work and heavy extra expense to the officers, or else the plan of resorting to attached officers must be followed, a method unsatisfactory to both sides. The fact remains a serious one that the militia is something like 15 per cent short of its establishment of officers. Even this does not show the whole state of the case. The establishment in the artillery and infantry is only three subalterns to two companies, like tho peace establishment of . the regular army, and in the event of war, if the militia is required for foreign or even home service, it would want some 600 subalterns to make, the battalions up to war strength.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-: ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health.
