Hoar market ha but small arrivals for the day and trade la again on a batter basis. According to President Daughtrex the demand for hogs is much better than current supplies, and It is quite likely that some very good run oould be moved at prevailing figures The run for the day was but 100 head. compared with 160 head a year ago, nono two years ago and 198 head threo year ago today. heap Xua gtUl JTomlnaL Only a nominal run of cheep con tinues, but this 1 having; absolutely no effect upon price making, for values are already at aucn a neignt that the trade is not inclined to see them atretched higher.

McKlnley. who escaped from the Chinese authorities at Mukden on November 11, and who wa reiaaen at Kharbln on Friday lat, arrived In Tientsin on the 80th in custody of Vice American Consul Marvin, and is being held In the Jail of tne urltlsn consulate- sreneral. wliers lie will remain unui ar- runs-Amenta have bean made for his de parture for America, lie la expected to leave In a few days, probably under the escort or Robert Htevenaon, uie United State marshal here. McKlnlev la not only wanted as a witness, but la himself implicated In the noted Oregon land frauds, involving a United States senator, several con- greaamen and oth men of note. Over 100 Indictment hav been Issued, the case now being up for trial. There being no extradition treaty between the United State and China, the American government eougnt to es- laoiisn a preccaem in aiuiiiiioj a to ascertain whether or not China would cooperate in extraditing any criminal and adventurer who sought refuge in her territory, witnout a treaty. "Had McKlnley made good hi ecape It would have undoubtedly defeated thla first attempt. . " Aa China wa dcslrou of howlng that ah was in ymnathy with the mnvMtnnnt an d that her cooperation could be relied upon, and alo because the provincial officials euspected their ubordlnates of assisting in his escape, a special effort was made to effect his capture. iney onereu San Francisco Office Oregon Journal 1206 Call BIdg.
