CHICAGO, April 24.-The markets to-
day have been excited, and operators
have eagerly watched for news from the
Orient. Wheat touched the highest
point which it has reached since 1868.
The difference between the lowest point
yesterday and the highest to-day was
nineteen cents per bushel, an almost
unprecedented rise. The market closed
at 81 70, within one cent Of the highest
price for the day. No prominent fail
ures are announced, though one large
firm is pressed hard to keep its margins
good. The wheat is In five hands and
Is not for sale. though the chief bull
operator will, it Is said, sell the cereal
when the price reaches his objective

FOREST FIRES In MICHIGAN.
Peshtego and Menominee Again Threat
ened With Destructi0a.
LANSING, Mich. April 23.-From Fort
Howard to Pescanaba, a distance Of 100
miles, forest fires are raging, threatening
results as disastrous as In 1871. No rain
has fallen in three weeks, the streams
are at their lowest summer ebb, and the
timber dry and dinflammable as matches.
The fires began on Saturday. They are
not continuous, but cover extensive dis
tricts, and are spreading rapidly. On
Sunday night Peshtego was In danger al
moat as great as in that which produced
its total destruction in 1871. Menominee,
too, is in great peril, and unless con-
tinued and heavy fall OF rain soon
comes the destruction OF every city and
town in the entire region is imminent.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The daily
cable dispatch, received by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, announcing the
market rate Of the a per cent bonds in
London reported it today as from 1o3a
to 1897. The price Of these bonds, ac-
cording to the English method of quo
tation, is about 103, and is the lowest
price at which they could be sold with
exchange exactly at par. The sales OF

encouraged at the present state of
American credit abroad. The sale of
the Al per cent bonds will be continued
until the price realized is such as to
show that per cents would be sold at
par. Then the 41 per cents will be with
place.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The applica-
tlons for tickets to the Supreme Court
room to-day were very far in excess OF
any previous day, and long before the
hour for the Commission to assemble
thronged all the passageWays leading To
the Courtroom. Tue attraction con-
sisted in the announcement that Mr..
Evarts and MIR. O'Conor would to-day
debate the great question OF the power
of the Commission 10 go behiud the re-
turns.
Speculation as to the decision is rife,
but not much can be learned from the
opinions of even those who are watch
ing the case most closely. Republicans
say decision in favor of going behind
the certificates would open endless top
ics of discussion, and it would be ini-
possible 10 decide, in an ordinary lile-
lime, all the questions that would arise.
The ID mocrats, on the other hand, say
that such an inquiry was the intent OF
the Tribunal. But the Commission, by a
decisive majority, will determine to GO
not behind the returns, but 10 the re-
turns, and ascertain whether or not the
