ALEXANDER G. McADIE, Forecast Officlal. | — | £ || =' EASTERN MARKETS. | Chicago Grain Market. | | CHICAGO, Nov. 5.—Everything in the wheat | ituation to-day pointed to better prices and | more active trade for some time to. come. Slightly improved cables from .Liverpool, Parls and Antwerp, based supposedly upon the re- cént rise here, were the initial influences for ! the advance. There was continued independ- ent strength in the corn situation, and this gave an added impetus to wheat. December | cperéd only a shade higher, but rose steadily | throughout the session. January shorts who have tried to bear the market were forced to | in at a loss and turned bulls when news ! arrived of shortages in the Russian 4nd Ar- | gentine crops and of the removal of the im- port duty on wheat into Mexico at thirty cents | a bushel. Sales to Mexico were reported and just before the close of the session came re- ports of a decline in British consols, probably | the result of the war scare. December and May were both bulled by pro- fessionals and sold at a difference of just 3 cents. “December closed strong 1@1% cents ad vanced. rn was active during most of the session, with a strong undertone. Commission houses were buyers and the selling was mainly by longs taking profits. December advanced to 59%@39%c at one time 2nd closed firm %c higher. Oats were active and strong.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. There was nothing new In the Butter market yesterday, stocks being large and.the demand Very light, owing largely to the municipal elec- tion. The houses kept open as usual, but hard- ly did business enough to pay them for it. Cheese remans unchanged. There is plenty here. Some dealers are quoting a firm market for strictly fine ranch Eggs, while others say that they see no improvement. It is largely a ques- tion of supplies. All dealers, however, quote a dragging market for everything but the very best goods.

[ & N itary Men Had a Price. tory About Mining Claims. Amicus Curiae Pillsbury had a few de- noon session of the Nome contempt in- quiry yesterday. That glib witness, M. J. pointees, was on the stand. military could be induced to violate the Judge Noyes came into the country, es- corporations. He even specified which cor- poraticns, meaning the Lane crowd. This it was that angered Mr. Pillsbury and forced him to drive the witness. “What do you mean by a price?’ Pillsbury. . “I mean that the military could be in- duced to violate the law of the district and pose as preservers of the peace when- ever a certain class used its influence,” responded the witness. Then he specified time, placé and circumstance. When Major von Orsdale arrived, according to Cochran, all was good and pure. Lieu- tenant Craigey was the bad man, he said. The day’'s work closed with Pillsbury still on ‘the hunt for the price. He'll try to get it this morning, when the cross ex- nation continues.’ The witness had other things to tell of during his stay and Metson came in for a fair share. Cochran Enters. “Billy” Metson, terror of ome gun fighters, figured in another role’in the far away arctic country. He was the leader of a gang of Swedes as well and with this backing and the moral support of a small and select coterie, proved quite a power when the time came for action. Such is the testimony of Cochran. Un- der McLaughlin's guidance Cochran went way back to times long ago. He gave a dissertation on mining and social condi- tions at Nome. He spoke of Willlam ti Metson and one Herrin, not the great Wil- llam F., but plain “Billy” Herrin, who was of the Lane crowd that organized the Swedish army of claim owners in the | vicinity of Nome. Cochran certainly en- | Joyed his position. He talked for hours and when the time arrived for adjourn- ment he looked longingly at Commissioner Heacock and his eyes begged for more. Cochran was put on by the respondents | to weaken the testimony of, W. T. Hume, After his direct examination Dafe Pence | was put upon the stand, but little time was consumed over him. When the ami- cus curiae reached Cochran he went at | him with earnestness and persistence. Metson occupied his old post, that of passer of yellow slips, these slips bearing | questions. His fingers became cramped | during the last minutes of the afterncon | session and his advice was then bestowed jupon the amicus -curiae by word of | mouth. | So absorbed was Judge McLaughlin in the examination of Cochran that he forgot to go before the Circuit Court of Appeais | to ask for an examination of Judge Noyes before the court. This will be done, how- ever, this morning, and in all gembnbmty Noyes will testify in his own behalf this | afternoon. £ Vawter Against Noyes. |~ Major Thomas Turnbull was the first witness to take the chair. He overheard a conversation between Marshal Vawter and several others in the Palace in which the Marshal threatened revenge. “Do you remember hearing Vawter say {In presence of a number of people in the | Palace Hotel that he would get even with | Judge Noyes?” interrogated McLaughlin. “He said he would get even with him yet,”” was the answer. ““Whnt was the manner of Mr. Vaw- er’ asked | { | ter? i ‘He was quite earnest.” { That was all there was of the direct | examination. On the cross-examination it 1 developed that the witness overheard the | conversation casually, and one day as he listened to Marshal Vawter giving testi- | mony in this case he recognized the | speaker in the Palace. He then wrote a | note' to Judge McLaughlin acquainting him with the facts. Quick work it was and then M. J. Cock- ran was placed on the stand. He was appointed by Judge Noyes as ommissioner of the Kaugarok. The first questions led up to the Park versus Over- man case, in which W. T. Hume and Cochran were both connected. This was the case in which Hume testi- | fled that his efforts were unproductive | until Cochran came into the litigation, !and as a friend of Judge Noyes moved | thirgs swimmingly. Cochran’s’ testimony | | was to the fact that Park, the plaintiff, | insisted that he should go into the case on account of Hume's conflict with the | court, and that it had already cost hfm | $§75,000. Hume seemed glad to have Coch- | ran in the case. { . To Repudiate Hume. “Did you hear Hume make hostile | threa.u‘ against Judge Noyes?” asked Mc- hlin. fes, every time we met and Judge Néyes’ name came up he said he would do [all he could to injure him. I remember | that when Senator Mitchell of Oregon was | elected Hume said that now he would | have Noyes removed.” | Then the witness delved deep into ‘the eplorable Nome conditions, social and therwise. As far as he was concerned : he was of the opinion that things were | greatly exaggerated and that ‘really it | was very much like a peaceful New Eng- |land village.” He was satisfied with | everything but the “sour dough” ele- | ment—the miners who could not be | miners. Lafe Pence, the quondam Colorado Con- | gressman and attorney for Mrs. Nettie R. Craven, took the stand at the call of the amicus curiae. Pence said adieu to the law \when the Nome fever reached the city ‘and since then has been several kinds of a mirer. He testified as to the facts sur- rounding the receivership, the arrest of McKenzie and the day of violence. The rest of the day was occupied in the cross-examination of Witness Cochran. | Many pointed questions were put by the amicus curiae, but the witness denied | them all with a rapidity and suavity that | took the breath from all but the cross- questioner. Cochr#n's afternoon tale was an attempt to picture a lang-grabbing Scheme on the part of Charles D. Lane, Pillsbury tried to draw from the witness | an admission of knowledge on his part | that Lane bought up all the properties which he possessed. i e CF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Changes Made i 1 the Postal Service and More New Pensions Granted.

The plan was to set ::ep to a house close to the barracks after dark and when the soldiers came out to assist in extinguishing the flames 150 con- spirators, armed with bolos, were to rush on the guard, capture their arms and pro- ceed to massacre the garrison.

Advices from Tacloban, capital of the island of Leyte, report that the presi- dentes” of various towns in the island have waited upon Brigadier General Smith and comgla.ined to him that the people are unable to procure food be- cause of the blockade that is maintained along the Strait of San Juanico. General Sml(qx replied that the strictest kind of a blockade would be continued until the people of Leyte brought in their guns and gave the authorities full information concerning the insurgents who infest the country. « All the arguments of the offi- cials of the towns were unavailing. General Smith has ordered the deporta- tion of the wife of General Lukban, lead- er of the Samar revolutionists. Four na- tive police officers were killed and their horses captured yesterday at _Baybay, island of Leyte. Lieutenant Julien E. Caujot, with a detachment of scouts, en- countered a body of insurgents southeast of Catbalogan, Samar Island, and in the fight which followed twenty-five repels were_killed. One hundred. and seventy- five houses were burned and 5000 pounds of rice and 2000 of palay were captured.
