The increasing demand for wool though still confined to actual needs for consumption proves that the current prices, low us they ave, do not arrest produc- tion. The tradein boots and shoe leather is somewhat retarded by monetary uncertain- tics, and there is, besides, somo reason to suppose that the consumotion may not be quite up to expectations, Sales in the north- west, ng from Chicago reports, appear o exceed last year's, but it is doubtful whether eastern sales are larger, and from Philadelphia and Baltimote come some indi- catious that southeru sales may notbe as largo, The manufacture and sale of machinery, {imploments nd tools soems 10 bo [aTger thas ever and, while copper, tin and lead aro all a shade lower for the week, tho consumption of each is very heavy tin tho iron and steel manufactu ado is now cloarly por ceived to be the rosult of a marked shrinkage »r consumption.

[Copyright 1891 by James Gordon Bennett.\ Panss, Jan. 30.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tue Bee.]-—Sardou's “‘Thermi- dor” has furnished the most thrilling sensa- tion since Boulangism flared and died. All Panis is talking of the interdiction. “Ido not think that the interdiction of my plecos “Ihermidor’ will be revoked,” ‘were Viotorien Sardou’s last words to me last even- ngas I loft him after an hour's discussion on the great sensation of the day. Just at that moment a servant had entered with a saiver piled high with letters. Sardou took a handful, saying: “I know exactly what there is in them. They are all letters of sympathy—some from perfect strangers, They have been coming in all day. Took at these” and he opened a drawer In his desk crammed full of telegrams and letters which came from politicians, men of letters, and from representatives of all classes, but all similarin condemuing the interdiction of “I'hermidor,” Some writers expressed their anger agamst theauthors of the disturbances; some bid the llustrious dramatist to have a bold heart anaall would come right, whilo others ex- lained to him thathe was tho victim of po- itical antagonism between two members of the ministry. “Then don't you think everything will be settled in the chambers today 1" I asked. “No,” he replied, ‘I do not. 1 foresee that it will be ono of those debates which” will end by leaving things just ms they are. Constans will be justified in ls course, Bourgers in his, and nice things will besaid of everybody, but it will bo said that the piece created o disturbance {p a public place and therefore must not be Autinued.’ “And what will you do then?" M Why they dow't care & sou about me. Thoy will say, *Ah, Sardou can look out for bimself. I shall beable to say after I have :;mnl tho result of the debate, what I shall “Willyou, in case the interdiction is sus- tained, have the picce played in some other theater ! No," replied Sardou, with earnest decis- fon; “‘no, I wrote ‘Thermidor' for the Thea- tre Francaise, and it shall be played at the Theatre Francaise or notat all.” “But you will not be contenti” “No, [ look upon the whoie affair as an out- rage. It of political jealousy.” Here Sardou gave his version of the trouble, which hesaid without doubt originated in the jeal- ousy of two statesmen, and dated back to the time when there was talk of withdrawing subvention from the opera. He considers DeLessagaray was employed by a prominent politiciau to come down with & number of men_and raise a disturbance. “Youare a thorough republican, are you not?’ “Yes, ama liheral republican. Claretie wus always in the time of the empire an_ur- Cent vepuolican, and ail of the members of the committes of the Francaise, one and all, would have protested agatust *Thermidor ! hiad it becn anti-republican.” “Wouldn't they have felt some diffidence o protesting to @ man like yout” “Not at all. But it is not they alone that saw no harm ln it, Bourgers also read it, and he handed it to the president, who saw mo harm in it 1t was also read er by the munister of censorship, L mever a word of objection was raised.

Anothor point is this: According to law, the audience in a theater is precinded from whistling or objecting or making & _noise during the per- formanco of a piece. Botween the acts they can object and show as much disapprobation us they think proper. Therefore | want to know how it was that those who were thus acting illegally ot stopped to help re- publicanism !

He said that Duffy fell out when tho motor struck the buggy aud was shoved or dragged about cighteen steps by the motor car. Lou Harris, a colored woman who was aboard the motor car, stated that she thought Duffy fell out before’ the buggy crossed the traclk, and that the motor ran about ten feet after it struck nim. The jury returned a verdict which states that Peter Duffy came to his death from in- juries received by being crushed under a motor car at the corner of Kighteenth and Burt streets, and that his death was the re- sult of his own rashdriving, and that the street railway company was guilty of c: lessness in fuling to sound the gong and by ranning too fast while crossing Lighteenth street, who lives at Was Cross- half way . “When I arvived at Excelsior Springs, Mo., I could not even retain milk on my stomach.

WasniNartoN, Jan. 30.—In the sitver pool investigation today Dockery read a prepared statement giving more in detail the facts tes- tified to by him Wednesday. Hesaid he was anxious to beat the force Dbill. It was not known that if Camecron was re-clected he would vote for it, but his attitude of uncer- ainty led Dockery to hope that he would vote against it. He (Dockery) did not wish just before the election in Pennsylvania to make public auy private business transaction of the senator which might be legitimate and proper, but beforo he could show itto be such it could be used by political enemies to his detriment. Dockery had information that Cameron had purchased silver, but mo knowledge that ho was connected with any povl nor of any impropriety in his purchase, Bockery thought it only justice to 'Cameron that the matter should not be made public by him whea it might be used by Cameron's po- litical opponents to his injury before he could have an opportunity to explain the facts, There was no agrecment or understanding between Cameron and himself or any other person that his (Dockery's) testimony should bo delayed. He acted on his own judgment, induced solely by the reasons stated above, - Utah Miner's Luck.

UNION PACIFIO CHANGE General Manager Clark Says They Are Dictateu by Common Sense. “The action of Salt Lake City in making sucha disturbance about the reported ro- moval of the office of the guperintendent of the mountain division of the Union Pacificis entirely uncalled for,”” remarked General Manager Clark to Tue Ber, *They are un- duly alarmed and no such changes as they speak of are contemplated. The office of the superintendent and probably that of the train dispatcher will be removed to Ogden, but the oftice of the assistant superiutendent and all the other offices will remain where they ar “This change will not be made because the people of Salt Lake have been kicking about freight and passenger rates: on the contrary,the change was determired on some timeago, before anything was said about rates. When I took chargeof the road I saw at once that the office of the superintendent of the mountain division was in the wrong place. Instead of being on the main line it was several miles away, on a branch, and I suggested that, as soon as the change could he conveniently made, the ofico be removed to Ogden, “There has never been any Intention of re- moving the shops or any other offico except that of the superintendent and probably that of the dispatcber. “Thc change will be made for purely busi- ons. The office will not be removed Lis ot Salt Lake, but because it should beat Ogden on the main lino, and 1t would be removed there without regard to its present. location, simply because common senso and the principles of railroading de- and that it should be at that point. “As far as Salt Lake is concerncd, the change will not affect that city, and thoy irred up & muss without any cause, peuking of removals continaed Mr, he office of the superintendent of motive power has been ordered removed to Omaha for the simplc reason that an office of that sortshould be as near the general head- quarters as possible, where the superintend- be atall times accessible and where kuow at all times just what is going His assistant will be at Cheyeune in charge of the shops, ete, and things will move on just the same as before, with no change as far as the public is concerned. “These changes are not made at random, nor to ‘retaliate’ against anybody. They are made for the best interesis of the roud, as common sense would seem to indicate.” MERRIMENT AND DISASTER. One Starts Witha sting Party, the Other Meets It. A party of students at Bellevie collego met with an accident while coasting Thurs- day evening, the results of which were of a very serious and dangerous nature. The long hill leading to the college was theonged by students and visitors from tho illage, who were enjoying the coasting, which had been made excellent by the fall of sunow and sleet, The track became somewhat cut up by the large number of sleds that were in use and about 5:20 o'clock a party of young ladies and gentlemen started ona long traverse to break anew path. The leaders chose a side of the hill east of the college that adjoins the g(\)‘ park, which is inclosed by a barbed wire enice. The party started with a cheor of mirth which ‘was speedily changed to ecries of horror and ain as the traverse struck a holein the hillside, became unman- ageable and throw the coasters into the barbed wire fence, In thecollision the traverse struck a the fence and broke it off at the ground. Four of the coasters wore hurt, twoof them seriously. David Oastler of Bellevue, who was ing the sted, was thrown against the fence post and badly hurt. He was picked up inan unconscious condition and removed to lis home. His injuries are of an iuternal nature and the extent of them has not been ascer- tamed. Miss M. B. Davis of Missouri Valley, Ia., astudent at the colloge, had one of her legs badly broken and was cut and bruised by the ‘contact with the fence. She was re- moved to thocollego and a physician sum- moned to attend her injuries,” The broken linb was set, and yestorday the young lady was resting easily. Miss Mary Connor had her right hand badly lacerated ou the barbs of the fence, Miss May Bennett's left arm was severely sprained and bruised. Several other members of the party were bruised and badly shaken up, but none of thom were seriously hurt. After the coasting party had been taken care of at the college, a dofective lamp in the dormitory caught fire. Two young ladies who discovered the blaze lled a couple of young gentlemen totake charge of the burn- ing lamp. News of the danger spread, how- eve nd several young ladies fainted from dright. The lamp was thrown out of the Window and a fire narrowly averted. st of uid- COUGH, CATARRH, SORE THROAT The Soden Pastilles are highly recommended by Prot, Koch and Sie Morrell Mackenzie.Con- venient, active and pleasant.
