It is claimed that Boyd's candidacy has knocked Holton's chances sky-high. It is now claimed by eome of the Re publicans that V. L. Lusk is to be , Speaker.

Stoiloff sprang to his feet and .exclaimed in a voice harsh with passion: "You .lie!".'" This exclamation immediately created a furore among the Opposition Deputies,, and the President of the Chamber ordered the expulsion of the member who had made the charge against M Stoiloff. The ushers endeavored to eject the of fending 'piernbt'-r,. but the Deputies of the Opposition attacked' them with their fists and drove the ushers from the hall.

The abandonment ofe Earl-Oicott plan for the reorganization! of the Reading, coupled with the announcement that the holders of the senior mortgages will in sist on foreclosure, added to- the bearish reeling. 'ihe selling, .however, was, chiefly for the account of the profes sional bears, although new houses were employed to do the bulk of the manipu lation. A firm credited with close con nections .with the Sugar people were large sellers of the Grangers, and. it looked as if an effort was being made to create the impression that the Sugar Crowd were liquidating in the railway group. The sales of the firm in question were ; accompanied by w ashmeton -ru mors that Congress will take up the Sugar matter as soan as it convenes.

It was very generally conceded that Bradstrect s statement would not show an increase, and short sellers were, in a measure, cautious. When it was announced that the report would not be issued to day prices edged off a little, but promptly recovered when they struct put. XNear the end of the session the temptation to sell was too great for the bears to resist, more by reason of the stand New York was taking (than con tingent seiiding bull news and at the same time disposing of "Wheat) that be cause of any new developments in the situation, and inside figures ; were reached at that time. Cash wheat -was steady. ' 1 ; i nere was no connoence teit m corn and the weakness of wheat further em phasized the sinking tendency. The trade was not important and the lack of eupport gave short sellers the better of the situation. Cash corn was 4c lower. Oat- had no incentive to:advanee imd, therefore, suffered by the weakness of wheat and Corn. The trade was not darge or of particular moment. The hogs were too many for the yard's market, and in the natural course product felt the weight of the havj arrivals, and late in the day was further depressed hy the estimate of a large run for to-morrow. csome ot tne pacKirjg concerns . were rather free sellers, but in the main the business wss not large or important.

Renewed, to be Prose cuted with Increased - ;, Vigor Mr. Foster's Position . Wahinoton, Jan. 2. Danger threat ens ,the peace negotiations between. China and Japan, and from present in dications it is exceedingly probable that hostilities may be renewed greater vigor, and the cry with even U ' On-to- Pekin" once more become the! . slogan of the Japanese forces. Despite a prevailing belief to the con trary, it is notunlikely that the Japanese Government will decline to make further postponement of the- actual "commence-' ment Of the negotiations in order to await the arrival of Mr. John "VV, Foster, the Chinese advisory counsel, and it is improbable that arrangements for the settlement of the dispute will have been completed before Mr. . Foster reaches Hiroshima, where the representatives of both the warring powers will meet. .Mr. Foster will sail from Vancouver on January 6th, providing he is not snow bound, and is due in Yokohama January lath or 20th. .T wo days will give him ample time to reach Hiroshima; so that the Chinese cannot ask for a 'postpone ment after the 2id instant. - i The two Chinese Ambassadors of peace are due in Shanghai on Janary 6th. and expect to reach Hiroshima,' on the 9 th iDsc, and the probabilities ate that they will be asked to begin thef negotiations without delay. The danger thathreatens the settlement which has seemed such a certainty, will arise atrthis point, for the Japanese Government will refuse, with out doubt, to agree to any temporizing on the plea that Mr. Foster has . not ar rived, and that th? Chinese Ambassadors cannot proceed without his assistance. rt may be stated with some -degree of positi vent ss that a direct declination by the Chinese Ambassadors" t begin the negotiations until Mr. Foster reaches Hiroshima will result in positive, disa greement and the breaking off of the overtures which will place the possibili ties for peace farther away than ever and cause the Japanese forces, to push their way with greater vigor to Wards the Chinese capital. In that event nothing short of the fall of Pekin i3 likely to put an end to hostilities. j Itrhas been known for some time that Ihe Japanese Government is suspicious of the good faith of their enemiesn the overtures for the suspension of! the war. h irst came the Detring affair, in which Mr. Detring was sent to Japan ostensibly for the purpose of making I terms of peace, but really armed only with"a letter from the Chinese court," to use his own expression, directing himi to make inquiry" into the prospects for a settle ment. . ! - j When Mr. Detring's mission failed, the overtures on which the present nego tiations are based were made by Chipa to Japan through Mr. Denby, the A mer ican Minister at Pekin, and Mri Dun. the American minister at Tokio. Japan ex pressed a willingness to treat with China if the Pekin Government would snd ah Ambassador. '.L dully accredited and armed with full power to inegotiate a peace treaty, i To this the Chi nese Government sent i answer ,that it could hardly agree to such a prop osition until it f n -w the basis on , wnc h the Japanese wished the arrangememlfor peace to oe maae. j Already inclined to look with suspicion oh the Chinese professionsjof good faith, the Japanese Government found in this. answer a confirmation of its growing be lief that the Chinese Government was attempting to- ascertain what their enemies would seek to exact from them as indemnity.in order to be prepared with arguments to secure a modification, and it was for hjs reason that Viecount Mutsu, the Japanese Minister q'f Foreign Affairs, declined to have further deal--Lhe ings with Pekin on the subjectrjuntil' the peace Ambassador was appointed. 'After some delay, China appointed, ) not one, but two envoys and it was thought that the negotiations would begin in' a very short time. But a few days agb the ap pointment of Mr. Foster was announced, , i .1 ri r 1 A 1 J " as counsel to me vuioese .muasaauor.
