A Grain R1ookaae in chicago

CHICAGO, Jan. 10 "A grain blockade
of prodigious proportions Is the feature OF
the grain trade in this market at present.
The elevators of the city which contain an
aggregate of sixteen millions OF bushels,
are very nearly filed to their utmost

also about q million bushels o1oat 10 the

Signs OF Trouble Ahead.

AUGUSTA, Me-. Jan. l0-In the house
when called to order, there were but fifty
four men in their seats; Republicans all
absent. Visitors were admitted by ticket
from Gen. Chamberlin's Office. At 20
minutes past o'clock the house adjourned
until Monday at 10 o'clock.
The senate adjourned at | o'clock until
Monday.
A resolve has has passed providing for
a com mittee on state valuation.
Mr.. Locke objected to such appointment
when cities were not represented.
There are said to be some 100 stand of
arms concealed in large storage room
connected with the state library, and a
guard of some 6 to 10 men, armed with
muskets placed over them. Mayor Nash
objects to these men remaining armed in
such manner, while his police force is on
duty. and is in consultation with General
Cha berlin in regard to their removal.
A letter has been received by fusionist
from A, P. Gould 10 substance as follows:
Say to all, that in my opinion the gov
ernor and council should be chosen before
action is taken ION filing any vacancy. /
also think the opinion of the judges should
be entirely disregarded. We must hold
the state government at all events, ii it
can possibly be done fairly. Let not
Republican be seated in either house, if
he can be excluded upon any fair legal
grounds.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 1O,-The fusionists have
as yet discovered no relief from the .em-
barrassment of not being in possession of
of quorum, and have no particular plan
next week. The treasurer directed that
no money be paid from the treasury on the
order of the legislature until he otherwise
decides. He refused this forenoon to
honor two orders passed by the senate. 1t
is expected that General Chamberlain will
issue an order for the removal of Offices to
the state arsenal at Bangor this afternoon
Should an order be issued the arms and
ammunition will be in charge of the mayor
and City Marshal White.
W While the night watchman was on his
rounds last night, he discovered armed
men 10 the middle Of the library in the
upper story of the state house. Two were
first discovered and afterwards eight other
men, who were carefully seereted, secure
from ordinary observation. and were sur
rounded By @ large amount OF arms and
ammunition ready for use This inteliI
pence caused considerable excitement and
the Augusta police force will refuse to act
until the secreted men are removed They
claim that in case of disturbance, a few
desperate men with appliances at hand
could do an incaleulable amount of harm.
The men have been promptly removed by
order of Gen. John Marshall Brown. A
rumor that has found its way abroad, that
the Governors room had been seized, Is
false. The crowd at the state house was
greatly diminished. The House was in
session but q few minutes. All quiet IN
the city. Most members will remain over
