All the substantial terms of the treaty have now been settled. There only remain {minor questions of detall_and the signing of the treaty. These formalities are so far advanced that the treaty Is considered to be an accomplished fact tod: The advanced stage of the negotiations has not yet been communicated to the public. The treaty follows the general lines of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which to a considerable extent served as a model. It is pointed out that the Hay-Pauncefote Iu-mu although rejected by the United States senate, now serves the useful pur- pose of giving a basis for this important Anglo-French treaty. The officials also view the negotlations as evidence of the | aympathetic attitude of the United States, | France and Great Britain on the practical adoption of the theory of arbitration. s Distrust of Centurles. The treaty. is mainly suggestive in being the culmination of the approachment be- tween France and Great Britain after cénturles of warfare, the maintenance of defensive armaments and the recent ani- mositles growing out of the Fashoda incl- dent and the South African war. It is lllm- significant of the tendency toward a rearrangement of the European political alliances. | The treaty is mainly the outcome of the {exchange of visits between King Edward |and President Loubet and the visit of Baron d'Esteournelle de Constant and the Frenoh parliamentarians to London.

Outgalt went to Washington to argue their case, Attor- ney Miller representing the other side. Ryan claimed his company had enough money to pay all depositors in full, and as a resuit of the hearing Acting Attorney General Christiancy recommended that the post- office inspectors make another investigation. They did so, and a second time a fraud order was recommended. A few days later, according to telegrams produced before the grand jury, Miller telegraphed Johns to deal with Ryan. A meeting was held st the Gibson house be- tween Johns and Ryan, in which Ryan paid $4,600, of which 82600 was for a favor- able decision en the scheme, allowing Ryan's continued use of the malls, and 32000 was for revising Ryan's advertising matter so as to conform to the ruling of the attorney general. Ryan paid the amounts in checks, which are held as evidence against Johns and Miller. Later both Miller and Johns appeared in court and entered pleas of not guilty. Johns made his plea conditional, rserving the right to change It after reading the in- dictment.

With & crash that recalled the dayvs of 1890, the hog market broke today and the wildest excitement prevailed. A hreak of from 50 to 60 cents on light grades and from 4 to 50 cents on other grades was registered during the day. It is the first step to put hogs on a 4lg-cent basie, a cording to advices. It means a loss of hunderds of thousands of dollare to the shippers and farmers Since Monday there has been a steady decline, which foreshadowed the break of today. Since Monday morning the whole market has broken from 0 to 90 cente on heavy hogs and an even $1 on lghtweights. Furthermore, there were 11,00 hogs un- sold when the market closed today. The condition of the hog market has not been so bad since the Cudahy failure in 1888, It is the direct result of tbe closing of the lard and ribs corner operated hy Swift and Company. Tn cleaning up that deal it was necessary to hold up the high prices which have prevafled in the pust year. During that time hoge sold as high as 35 and ranged between that price and %. Now it is the intention, 1t is declared, to put the market on a firm $4.60 basis. n the market today Swift bought heavy packing hogs for $4.75 to $4.80, while Cudahy bought them for $4.75. At that rate it means a loss of §100 to $150 a car to shippers who bought at the old rates. This will entafl a heavy loss on the farmers if the plan succeeds. They have reaped a harvest from the high prices in the past year or two nd the whole country has gone vrawy over the hog market. The country, it Is said, is filled with hogs being fattened to take advantnge of the high prices.
