. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. '
Chicago, November 7. At the close
of to-day's half session the wheat market
rested with just a shade better prices
quoted thin at the end yesterday. Bat
from the opeoiDg until the final trade
was mide, the action was raptsLand
most erratic. Liverpool's advance
. l2d, did not meet expectations, and
aitnouga toere was a bull feeling at the
start, the disappointment at the absence
of visor abroad soon found expression
in a swift decline of almost a cent. -. At
the expiration of the first hour an ad
vance, which was ascribed -to Brad
s '.reel's report that oniv 2 i.000,000
bushels available for export remained in
this- country, set in. It grew in force
until SJfe rise from the inside was
scored. The New York bank statement
made a poor snowing Jor the week, and
when it was properly digested there was
a slump of z. After that, fluctuation
were rather narrow. Dscember wheat
opened from 79c to 78Hc sold v be
tween 79caad 7 7ic, closing at 78c
a shade over yesterday. Cash wheat
'was firm.
Mav cam opened frcm 29M29c,
declined to 28c,tclosing at 88c
Jic under yesterday. Cash corn was
Jc higher, closing about steady. ,
May oats closed Ytz higher than yes
terday. Cash oats were farm and
Kc higher.
Provisions displayed a little strength
at the opening, but soon lost it on mod
erate selling. Higher hog prices were
instrumental in causing a slight advance
in this market, but that gain disappeared
within the first half hour. Later there
was a fair recovery. January pork closed
at 10c higher. January lard and rios

423.867 bales.
The New York Sun says: Spot cotton
here was unchanged. Liverpool was un
changed on the spot, with sales of 8.000
bales. Futures there declined one to
to points. The exports were 21,835
bales. The receipts at New Orleans on
Monday are estimated at 14.000 to
16,000 bales, against 10 427 last week'
and 12,439 last year, Houston expects
on Monday 4 800 to 5 500 bales, against
10.612 last week and 6 615 last year. In
New Orleans January declined two
points, but recovered this and advanced
'ave points.

The exports from

1.503.796 bales, against 932,906 in the

here opened four to Eve, jpoiots lower,
recovered the lost on most - months, but
later reacted and closed quiet bC1
steady at a net decline of two to three
points, with sales of 78 100 bales , ,
The speculation to-day was quiet and
featureless. At the opening prices de
clined slightly. The Liverpool market
was lower and some sailing orders were
received from thn market, but in the
absence of any decided selling pressure
for lcal account, prices rallied on pre
dictions o! colder weather and frosts in
South Carolina, Gsorgia. Tennessee,
Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana and
E is tern Texas. Before the close, how
ever, the market reacted again on a
large estimate of the port receipts for
the cominar week, the estimates ranging
from 280,000 to 300 000.

THS IRISH QUESTION COMIS UP IN AN
'V ACTJTI FORM.
A 'amine Impendinc The Tutkiah Ques
tion Negotiation! for a CongTesa ot the
Power British Oooapttion of Egypt
to Be Prolonged With a Free
Hand to Extend to the TJpp;r
Nile.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
London, November 7. The ever
lasting Irish question is coming up in
an acute form, through the old and too
familiar occurrence of an Irish famine.
Tbe Bishop of Rapboe, in a recent ap
peal for subscriptions in aid of the Irish
party fund, spoke of the bleak prospe
before the agricultural population as
operating against the fundThe Bishop
hardly seems to havfrealized how des
perate the jsiiaation is. The correspon
dent of the Manchester Guardian, one
Lot the .most trustworthy and least sensa
tional papers in England, declares that
no such appalling prospect has pre
sented itself during the present genera
tion. Concurring reports show that the
prolonged and continuous riins of the
autumn have ruined the crops from
north to south. The rich lower lands
have been flooded for weeks at a time,
when the harvest ought to have been
proceeding. Stacked corn and hay
stacks have been submerged, and pota
toes are rottening in the fields. In the
poorer hill lands the small farmer and
cotter population are again face to face
with one of those failures of the potato
crop, which has too olten brought th
uitermost horrors of starvation a
famine and disease among them
As usual the Government yf doing
nothing. Tbe Irish Secreta ry's tour in
the west, and northwest oct irred before
tbe bad weather setirff ana at a time
when little couldfJe predicted of the
harvests. Sincjithen he has obtained
reports f romgfficial sources from land
lord sougesi which can only be de-
scribeai misleadinz. The farmers on
of tbe large estates have apprised
landlord's agents that no rent can
be paid this year because no rent has
been earned. But the landlords have
entered into a combination f jr whole
sale pressure on the tenants. Using
their utmost privileges under tbe
Land Act they are applying for
ejectment decrees by the thousand,
and an eviction campaign, such ag has
rarely ever been witnessed in Ireland, is
now in progress in many districts. As
soon as the rigors of Winter set in the
demand for relief will be clamorous. The
Government will be compelled to inter
vene before Parliament opens, or face
an accusation of reckless indifference to
soffsnng such as ought to overwhelm
any English ministry. With this famine
impending, combined with the revela
tions of the Foreigns Relation Commis
sion, showing how Ireland is annually
bled ot millions of money to the advan
tage of Great Britain, it will be no won
der if Irish discontent assumes a more
active form than mere jabber over legis
lation for home rule.
Lord Salisbury in his speech at the
Guildhall on Monday on the cccasion of
the banquet to be given by tbe new Lord
Mayor of London, wili not, according to
the b;lief of the Ministeralists. make any
allusion to the abandonment by Great
Britain of the island of Cyprus. Indeed,
if the statement made yesterday by tbe
officials of tbe Foreign Office be true
there is no foundation whatever for the
report, which was fiist ;pub.isbed in tbe
Truth and then copied by tbe Daily
Graphic. It does not require any polit
ical acumen to see that no reference
will be made to tbe evacuation of Cy
prus. It is highly probable, however,
that Lord Salisbury will, in "his speech,
attack the Porte as destroying the value
of the Anglo-Turkish Convention of
1878, under which Cyprus was turned
over to the British for administrative
purposes.
The negotiations for the holding of a
conference of tbe Powers on the Turk
ish question progresses on the lines be
fore mentioned in this, cable -correspondence;
that is to say. the proposals made
by Lord Salisbury that tbe clauses of the
treaty of Paris giving the Porte power
to refuse the passage of the Dardanelles
to warships shall be rescinded, that the
administration of the Turkish provinces
shall be under the supervision of the
European Powers, and that tbe consid
eration by any conference of these pro
posals shall not include any reference to
tbe British occupation of Egypt.
Judging from the last information ob
tainable, it is believed tbat the Czar's in
fluence has brought about an arrange
ment of tbe Anglo-French differences
regarding Egvpt. This implies a pro
longation of the British occupation of
Egypt, with a free hand to extend it to
the whole of the upper Nile.
Paris, November 7. Advices re
ceived here from Constantinople show
that when the Sultan received a report
of the speech delivered by M. Hano
taux, tbe French foreign minister, in
the Chamber, of Deputies last Tuesday
in response to an interpellation de
manding to know what action France
would take In defence of the Arme
nians, hestnt one of his secretaries to
M. CamboY the French ambassador,
who impressed upon the secretary the
urgency that existed for the Sultan to
adopt measures that would reassure
public opinion and Satisfy Europe.
The Turkish Ambasiadarin Paris has
now informed M. Hanotaux that tbe
Sultan has decided upon carrying out
the following reforms: The release of
prisoners throughout the empire against
whom no charges are preferred; to l ob
struct the police that peaceable Arme
nians are not to be persecuted; to con
voke an Armenian assembly to elect a
patriarch; to court-marshal Maxhr Bey
for allowing Father Salvator to be mur
dered; to dismiss the Vali of Diarbekir
for the share he took in the disorders
there; to precisely instruct the Valis to
suppress violence; to undertake the in
demnification of the Roman Catholic
convent in Anatolia which was damaged
during tbe outbreaks; to assist the in
habitants of the districts which suffered
most and to publish a decree ordering
tbe prompt execution in Anatolia of tbe
reforms granted in 1895 and tbe exten
sion of these reforms to the whole em
pire." M. Hanotoux thanked the ambassa
dor for the information and told him
that he had precisely instructed M.
Camon to watch the application of these
preliminary measures. In hit speech to
the'Deputies in response to tbe inter
pellation, which was Submitted by M.
Denys, Deputy for Cochin, China, and
supported by Delafosse, Hubbard and
others, M. Hanotoux said that the
Armenian movement would not have
taken upon itself such an intensity if
contact with Europe -had not imbued
certain Armenians with a desire for in
dependence. Tbe excesses of tbe Ot
toman Government, be said, bad fur
nished legitimate - motives for com
plaint, and when the question assumed
an aspect of grave importance England
understood the danger of acting alone. A
concert was established among the Pow
ers, and in October, 1895. an Understand
ing was reached with tbe Porte that the
latter would grant reforms, which un
happily had not yet been applied. Ow
ing to the anarchy which reigned, trou
ble ensued and France was bound to use
language, tbe strong significance of
which Turkey understood. Tbe Powers,
he said, were convinced of the necessity
of solid nnion, but there must be no iso
lated action and no interference with tbe
integrity of tbe Empire.
"Among the fertile results of tbe re
cent visit of the- Emperor of Russia to
Paris," M. Hanotaux said, "mav be men
tioned the precise exchange cf views in
regard to Armenia and tbe perfect com
munity of Ideas which exists and will
give the Sultan to understand the neces
sity of his assuring the security of all
his subjects of whatever race. But
violence will not aid the task of
Europe. France does not forget the
traditions of the religions protectorate
which sbe exercises in the Orient, nor
the bonds Which unite her to the Otto
man Empire, but she must proportion
her efforts to tbe extent of all tasks
devolving upon her."

Mall 1 Gazette announces that it is

Bow Thrifty Paris Makes It Cheepe For
tba Stranger to Stay Than to Go An
American Who Best the Game Tbe
Way It,Ia Done In England.
Before going abroad it is meet that
the unsuspecting native should under
stand one of the ways be is expected to
add to the income of thrifty France if
he means to stay in tbat country. This
illnstrated by a veritable experi-
A New Yorker engaged an apart
ment that had been previously ocenpied
by a member of his own family. When
the time came for giving it up, the china
was all spread ont on tbe table, and
monsieur, madame and the concierge
and candles went through, the rooms
looking for tbe damages that would have
to be settled for before the stranger left.
They found the chairs were so injured
they would have to be reseated so
much. There was a crack in the mirror
over the mantel. A new glass would be
necessary so much. Passing their
hands under each of the pieces of china
they discovered so many nicks and dis
figurements that a new set of china
must be bought so much. "Very
well," said the American, settling the
bill at once.
- f'Now I have paid for the chairs, for
the new glass and the china, haven't I?"
"Yea. Monsieur was Very amiable. "
"Then they're mine. I always did.
want to smash china. Here goes. " Rais
ing his caDe he brought it down on the
table, and the china flew into fragments.
''This is my mirror. I'll break that
too. " Whack went the s mirror. The
group was speechless, bnt they were not
through with this madman plying his
cane. One by one he stuck it through
the seats of the chairs, wrecking them
utterly.
"They are all paid for, yon know,"
he said, with a. gratified smile. For,
yon see, his relatives had told him that
when they gave np tbe apartment they,
too, had paid for reseating the chairs,
replacing the glass and for the damaged
china.
Doubtless, the articles had been paid
for many times. Many of the owners of
these lodgings have secondhand stores,
and from these 'the rooms are furnished.
One set of broken down chairs give place
to another, decrepit sofa succeeds de
crepit sofa, and each is a constant source
of income. ' -
After a time the wary stranger learns
to protect himself. The manner is tedi
ous, but rneasnrably effective. One fam
ily, after a residence of nine years, has
reduced it to a science. When engaging
an apartment one day is devoted to go
ing through it with the owner and lo
cating and registering all the blemishes.
Even the stains on the walls are num
bered, with descriptive attachments.
. The proprietors invariably protest
against such minuteness. "Ah, madame,
Between jaaies, Deiween peruus ox onsr
acter 1" But the mistress unrelentingly
pursues hev way. When she gives np
the apartment and tbe pnrsnit for dam
ages begins, she has with her her regis
ter, and drawn horses conld not make
her pay for a stain if it is recorded in
her book.
In England the matter is not such a
personal one. When a house, lodging or
an apartment is given np, each party is
represented by an agent, paid at the rate
of a guinea a day and expenses. These
agents are left to themselves. One of
the requirements is that everything
must be touched, to assure by personal
contact it3 state. A wall cabinet filled
with curios must be opened and a finger
laid on each piece in order to keep with
in the law. These agents, who are usu
ally fat and easy going.hnve an amicable,
sociable time. They are full of apolo
gies, each to the other. ; - '
, "Now, dear sir, we are not going to
draw the lines too tight IV
"We, on our part, are qnite sure that
yon are disposed to ho qnite fair. "

Now comes the word of another dis
covery, which if true will excel in in
terest and importance the celebrated dis
covery of Roentgen, the X rays. It ia
paid that a photographer named Rogers
set np a postage stamp and fixed his
gaze npon it for a moment. Then a
photographic plate was . put where the
stamphad been. For several minutes
the photographer fixed his gaze intently
npon this plate and held his mind in
tently npon the image of the stamp at
the same time. When the plate was de
veloped, two impressions, one for each
eye, were found npon it, each distinctly
resembling a postage stamp. And this
idea can. thns be carried out ad infini
tum, it is claimed. A poet can dispense
with the pen by affixing npon the sensi
tive plates the beautiful images that
arise in his brain. Criminals may thns
be forced to yield np the secrets of their
past lives. The lover can give proof of
his faithfulness, and so on into the in
exhaustible field of tbe marvelous. Of
course there will be skeptics on all this
for awhile. Cincinnati Times-Star.
Hydrogen Peroxide.
The bleaching agent of the future,
says a writer in one of the textile jour
nals, is hydrogen peroxide, and it is
even now considerably used in wool
bleaching. The yarn is steeped in a so
lution of hydrogen peroxide to which a
little ammonia has been added, thereby
causing the decomposition of the perox
ide into water and oxygen. The latter,
being in its nascent state, readily at
tacks the coloring of the wool and forms
a color lees oxidation product. This is a
permanent white, and should tinting be
necessary it can be done after the bleach
ing. The bleached yarn is sometimes
washed in acidified water. ' From time
to time various additions have been rec
ommended for the peroxide bath, bnt
with very little or no advantage. The
bleaching solution is to be kept alkaline
indeed the more alkaline the liquor
the quicker is the oxygen liberated;
hence too much ammonia is almost as
bad as too little.

To recognize a person's voice over a
telephone is not regarded as at all
strange, and there are times when one
can identify a voice conveyed even
from a long distance positively as to
be able to swear to the identification in
a court of law and have the testimony
accepted. Bnt to be able to recognize a
person's "ring" is qnite another thing.

buildings declares that he can almost

the knowledge, that so many forms of

family laxative, Syrup of Fis, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the

If in the enjoyment of 'good health,

other remedies are then not needed. If
