The supply was large and the demand was very limited, There were orders in hand for more prime cattle than were here, and buyers in some cases took cattle that did not exactly suit them as regards quality, but there were too many of all kinds below choice. The quality was very poor, and the pens were crowded with thin, light cattle. In the market for common to fair cows and mixed stock there was A WEAKER FEELING. The supply was lur&;‘ and prices averaged but the supply of low grade cattlo was Stockera and feeders did not show any material changa as compared with the closing days of last week. grades were abundant, while good to choice kinds were scarce. but buyers complained of the high prices. Towards the middle of the week the market recovered while there was not much improve- ment in common grades, pri quoted 16@20c higher for all good stock. Shipping cattle averaged poorly in qual- ity. Their weights ran from 1,050 up to weighed more. Most of the poorer grades fell into the hands of dressed beef oper- ators, and some of ihe best droves were taken by exporters for the English mar- pect of liberal arrivals next week also ex- erted a restraining influence, and while holders of fat cattle were, because of the strong rates, the general run of shipping cattle were not wanted at any advance.

GarvestoN, Tex., February 3,—San Antonio special: Alexander Trumble, a Texan, was arzested by state rangers, charged with being one of the leaders of the Mexican National train robbers lnst November, and-who was brought to San Antonio by a United States marshal, was released to-day, by order of Secretary Frelinghuysen, ‘Phe discharge of Trum- ble is execrated by citizens of the border counties, and thers is much unfavorable comment. The evidenco developed at Monterey is said to be conclusive against Trumble. Judge Russell, of the United States, courtthe oxtradition agent, was anxious todeliver Lxumble to the Mexican authorities, but the secretary holds that under the clause of the treaty with Mex- ico which provides that neither govern- ment shall be bound to surrender 1ts own citizens, an Amerlean citizen is not sub- ject to surrender either by the United States government or the state of Texas. The ruling causes the greatest surprise, as it is a violation of the precedent established in 1877, when the jail of Rio (irande City was raided by a party of Mexicans who reseved a number of pris- oners who killed & deputy sheriffi. The leaders were surrendered by Mexico on the demand of the United States extrd- dition agent, one of them was subse- quently hung, and the other sent to the penitentiary. The interpretation then was to leave the aurrender of citizens by either government discretionary with the extradition agent. 1t is said the treaty was not only 80 construed at the time by the Mexican authorities, but also sanc- tioned if not approved by tho state of Texas. 1t is believed any other inter- pretation will invite rapine and plunder on the border. DICK LIDDIE'S IMPORTA: Kansas Crry, February 3. ques- tion has been raised as to the compe- tency of Dick Liddle to testify against Frank James, he having served a term in the penitentiary, being released under the three-quarter rule without pardon. The supreme court recently decided such o witness incompetent under the present statute, Prosecuting Attorney Wallace, of this city, has appealed to Governor Crittenden to pardon Liddle, and a re- ply was rnsei\l'pd to-duy in which the governor declineg. fo pardon on the round g}mt it vevg;fld bo & vaflaotion an rockmeyer, acting governor at the time of Liddle’s release, and on Judge Goodman, who admitted Liddle's testi- mony at the Winston robbery trial.

Ralls, of New London, Ralls county, Mo., came to this cifi’ yesterday, having in custody George M. Biddy, of Appleton City, Mo., whom he had ar- rested on a charge of forgery and grand laxceny at the latter place. When Ralls got to Sedalia he put his prisoner in the calaboose for safe keeping and got on a spree. Last evening Ralls, who soemed to be acting as a special deputy or de- tective, got some telegrams from the sheriff of Ralls county which he thought authorized him to release the man, which he did, Biddy declared in the presence of Ralls and others that he was not only innocent and perfectly willing to go with Lard gained 20¢ On the curb the NALS.

RAILROAD RATES, PASSENGER RATES, Omicaco, February 8 —At an ad- journed meeting of general passenger agonts of roads intereated in business to 0 Missouri river, yesterday, arrango- ments covering west-bound business were entored into by which the local passen- ger agenta of this city will be compelled to form an association similar to the one now in existence at Kansas City, which provides that each ticket agent shall de- polit a stipulated amount in bank, and n case a cut rate is made the agent will be cnm&ellod to pay upon conviction double the price of each ticket sold un- der schedule rate. The new oment will go into effect to-morrow. The Han- ibal & St. Joe road has agreed as soon as ratos are restored that it will re-onter the Kansas City agreement which has been modified to the extent that no road can roduce rates without consulting other may have no revenue from operatives working to support those on the strike, L — A Woman as Master, WAsHINGTON, Feb, 2.—Secrotary Fol- ger, in a letter to the inspector of steam veasols, roveiws the application of Mary A. Miller, who seeks to be liconsed as master of a steam vessel on inland waters and says: ‘1 know nothing imperative, in the reason of things, in natural law, in public policy or in moral law, why woman, it she is skilled, honest, intelli- gont, hardy and Irudout enough, ma not have command of a steam vessel an navigate it, and mannage and conduct the business carried on with it. To do that is to be master of a steam vessel.” Tho secrotary, in quoting common law and statue on the subject, remarks: “‘Any person, whether male or fomale, may paddle his or her own canoe, or steer or conduct his or her own vessel. There is no reason in unwritten or writ- ten law why Mistress Miller may not lawfully demand an examination, and, if she prove herself duly qualified, to have a license to serve as master of o steam vessel, nor is there need of talk, pro or con, on the social status or, wom- an rights so-called. Having been put on Gods foot stoul by Him, she has a right to win her bread in any moral, lines. Repregentatives of the Missouri river roads also decided to no longer permit eastern lines to issue coupon forms of railroad tickets from eastern points to points west of Chicago, but to compel them to sell one continuous passage ticket, and thus obviate the opportunity afforded scalpers under the form of ticket used to demuralize rates by selling *‘stubs” of through passage tickets, NEDRASKA DBUSINESS, General Managers Potter and Cable returned from the east last night and both unite in declaring that the situation respective of Nebraska business remains practically unchanged. They declare it 18 probable that another meeting will be held between the Burlington and roads in the Western Trunk Line association sometime next week in a further effort to readjust their differences with regard to Utah business. The meeting of the Waestern Trunk Line association will be held Monday, and it is believed the Union Pacific will concede the right of its eastera allios to make rates on west bound business, and that the association will then order an advance in rates, though it may not adopt the exact sched- uleagreed upon at the recent Omaha meeting, AN INHARMONIOU: 8. Louis, February 3.—The publica- tion of a statement that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad had charged other pool lines with cutting rates on east bound freight here, and that a meeting had been held in New York to take action on the matter, created somethimg of a com- motion in railroad and commercial circles here, but had no effect in restoring rates, a8 it is positively asserted that one of the pool lines made contracts for grain yes- terday at 16 cents to New York. This is a clear cut of 14 cents per 100 pounds. It is also understood that two other pool lines are ready to make a similar cut. It is also asserted that not more than twoof the pocl lines here will be represented at the meeting in New York next Thurs. day, when an unharmonious time is an- ticipated, : A GENERAL CUT COMING, UHICAGO, Tobrusty O.—Thy Oiand Trunk openly acknowledges it is cutting seventh and eighth classes 10 cents under schedule rates on east-bound business, and the presumption follows that other eastern trank lines are doing likewise, Unless a settlement is speedily reached the belief is entertained that rate cutting will become open and general. It s de- clared that the Baltimore & Ohio thus far has maintained rates. AN EIGHTH CLASS CUT, 8.

Allewyne Smith, recently of St. Paul, occurred this n(ternou%. The remains were placed ina vault, Parties are expected from St. Paul who will confer with Coroner Rogers and if it is considered advisable an examination will be held to test the story of malpractice. A young Englishman, three months ago, married Miss Mattie Maud Hinkle, of Kansas City. Miss Hinkle was a prominent society young lady of that city, aged 10. It is stated that before her death she told Coroner Quinn, of St. Paul, that she used instruments to pro- cure a miscarriage, but stoutly denied that her husband any knowledge of her action, The peculiar part of the affair is that the coroner certified that she died of ‘“‘heart failure,” after Mrs, Smith had made the above confession to him. Smith is a cousin of Lord Carrington and closely related to several very wealthy families in London. intended to reside in that city. e —— Ho has made largo investments in St. Paul and THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

FROM WASHINGTON. CONGRESS AND ITS WORK, WasniNaron, Febru: 3,—The sen- ate accomplished little work last week except in committees. The bill to pro- vide for ancertaining and settling private land claima in certain states and terri- tories remains the unfinished business for to-morrow. McPherson’s banking bill is more E:oly than any other on the calondar to be taken up in advance of its order, and an effort will probably be made during the week to bring it before the sonate. Senator Edmands' civil rights bill and his Utah bill stand next. in importance, In the house to-morrow, during the call _of states, Mr. Morrison expects to introduce his bill providing for a hori- zontal reduction of the tariff, and the call will probably be followed by a suspen- sion of the rules to open the way for in- dividual requests for consideration of particular measures. Converse has asked to bo recognized, and contemplates call- ing up his bill providing for an increase of the tariff on wool. It is understood, if the bill is brought up, that Hurd wid oppose it, and urge that wool be placed on the free list. Converse says the in- terests of nearly $3,000,000 men has been imgnrflsd by the tariff legislation on wool by the last congress.
