NKw YoRK, April 17.-William Blanch-
ard, grain operator, has failed. He is re-
ported largely "long" Of wheat in ohica-
70 and New York. Blanchard is reported
to have been "long" Of Chicago wheat to
the extent Of $50, 900 bushels, and here to
the extent Of 100000 bushels. He mar
gined up yesterday morning, and last 15s
night was compelled to 90 over Sl0O, 600
short in his cash. There are no heavy
sufferers by the failure, the liabilities be-
ing widely distributed. The suspension
has caused decline in the wheat market
here Of two cents per bushel, and the mar.
ket Is very teyerish, margins being called
for very frequently.
Atthe Produce Exchange the impression
prevailed to-day that Blanchard will effect
an early settlement.
Blanchard this afternoon submitted Q
plea OF settlement, which all creditors &C

PErERsBuRo, April 1.-THE forest fires
which have been raging in this vicinity
the past week have become uncomfortable.
The flames are plainly visible here. Barns
and stables In large numbers have been
destroyed. In many instances the farm.
ers have lost their crops, horses and farm.
ing implements. A number OF cabins
have been burned, the occupants barely
escaping with their lives. The destruction
OF cord.wood timber is immense. In
Prince George county the fire has been
very destructive, invading orchards and
destroying hundreds Of fruit trees. It Ia
feared that unless an early rain occurs the
FIRE will destroy the railroad bridges and
telegraph poles.
Passengers report destructive fires along
the line OF the railroad from Lynchburg
to Norfolk. Several dwellings were burn.

had gone after the beating.
It seems that Snyder got very uneasy
about what he bad done before the old
mans death, and made an offer OF settle
ment TO Henry Wright, tendereing as much
as 81 600 to have the matter hushed up,
But 1t was not hushed up. On the con.
trary, Il has obtained much publicity, and
Fountain Smith, Esq, Of Fairmont, has
been retained as counsel by Henry
Wright to prosecute the case. The first
thing done was TO make post mortem
examination Of the body OF the deceased.
This was done before the interment, but
with what result has not been made pub
lie as yet. The excitement, however, Is
intense, and public opinion runs high
against Snyder.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE desk on
which Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declare.
ton Of Independence has been presented
to the United States. Its to be presented
in the name Of the children Of the late
Mr.. Joseph Coolidge, Of Boston, to whom
it was given by Jefferson himself in 1925,
whose granddaughter Mr.. Coolidge had
married, and has an autograph inscription
as follows: Thomas Jefferson gives this
writing desk to Joseph Coolidge, IT,, as a
memorial Of his affection. It was made
from drawing Of his own by Ben Randall,
cabinet maker, Of Philadelphia, with
whom he first lodged on his arrival in that
city in May, 1776, and is the identical one
on which he wrote the Declaration OF In.

has its superstitions. These, gaining
strength with time, may one day
give imaginary value TO this relic for It's
association with the birth OF the great
charter OF our independence"
Its probable that this desk will be de-
posted in the fire proof library OF the
State Department, where are kept the
original draft of the Declaration, written
on this desk, and the engrossed copy which

DON Cameron Beasts That HIS Grip u
Secure on the Pennsylvania Delega
Iion, and That Everything Il Fixed fol
Grant NJ Chicago by Lord Roscoe ans
HIMSELF
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Lew weitze
had an hours conference with Don Cam
oron tonight on political matters, and
more especially touching the Presidential
situation. Cameron told weitzel that he
had no doubt but that Grant would be
nominated at Chicago on the first ballot,
Il, indeed there was ballot. Said he:
"Colonel weitzel, as TO Ohio, l think
the Ohio Republicans should give Sher-
man complimentary vote in the Chicago
Convention, because such course will
keep the State from breaking up Its dele
CATION between Grant and Blaine, and the
chances seem TO be that Blaine would get
the bulk OF the delegation II Sherman Is
pushed aside. 1haye,. however, no doubt
OF Grants nomination. No other candi-
date has any reasonable chance OF sue
cess"
Senator Cameron showed Colonel Welt.
eel q list OF the delegations he expected
Grant would carry. Lew says this Is q
good deal more than enough, but he con-
siders that he was shown It in confidence,
and refuses to give the Cameron estimate.
As to the Democratic situation, Gamer
on thinks that II the race is between
Grant and Tiden, Grant will have walk
over. Cameron Is strongly OF opinion
that Tilden will be nominated. Weitzel
told Cameron that he thought II Tilden
and Grant were the nominees Grant
would carry five Southern States. To this
Cameron replied: "Yes, more; think
be will carry eight of the Southern
States"
Cameron told Weitzel that the Grant
managers had no literary bureaus, and
that moreover, they didn't propose to es.
tablish any; that the confidence OF Grants |
friends, was such that none were needed.
"The people" he added, "knew all about
Grant, without the aid Of biographical
sketches, gotten up for campaign pur.
poses" He rather ridiculed the manage
nent, especially Of the Sherman Literary
Bureau.
As to the rumor circulated that there
will be detection in the Pennsylvania
delegation against Grant, Cameron said
~ am satisfied as to that point. Penn.
sylSania will cast her fiity.elght votes for
Grant"
Weitzel left for oinncinati tonight.

20 the Future Of Grain.

10 the Future of Grain.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE markets have
been rather panicky the last week. owing
generally to fine weather, fair receipts, and
very depressing cable and seaboard news.
Some reports Of damages to the wheat
crop by freezing and by drouth are coming
in, but not more than usual at this time Of
year, and, barring the report Of the De-
rartment. OF Agriculture Of the disastrous
result OF the sowing OF winter wheat in
the Northwest, the outlook for crops has
been steadily OF bearish nature. In
England, the weather having been par
ticuIarly fine, the markets there have been
very steady, declining in the lace OF their
large deficiency and almost pressing i'm.
mediate wants. Many small operators,
and q few heavy ones as well, have been
compelled TO sell out ut loss on account
OF expiring margins. THIS has broken the
market heavily in both grain and pro-
visions, and unless there are further sales
on the same account sharp rally OF pri-
ces is deemed probable in view OF the
fine shipping margins between here and
Liverpool, and on account OF the dead
loss at which all provisions must be packed
at the present relative prices OF hogs and
hog products.
Stocks in store here have been reduced
over million bushels. Water rates to the
seaboard are about II cents, while rail
rates are IS cents for grain. Shippers are
holding off for better rail rates, but unless
q very decided reduction is made 1t Is pro-
bable that heavy shipments Of wheat by
water will be begun, and the greedy policy
OF the railroad kings will have oyerreach-
ed itseli. The week closes with the lowest
prices on all kinds Of markets that have
been reached for six months or more.

CHICAGO, April ls.-A fire early this
morning destroyed a large three story
brick building, occupied by A. @. LOOMS
manufacturer Of buggies, DC, and Wal.

50, 900, and Walfnger Company, 1000.
Both fully insured.

The building was owned by Messrs. Bar
ton and Jones. Loss to machinery and
building, S25, 900; insurance 5000. Frost
& Co. place their loss at $4,000, but the
estimate Is regarded too high; insurance
5000.
The Packingmen's Protective Benevolent
Union, the organization Of which inaug.
urated the mammoth strike at the stock
yards last winter, and which at one time
comprised nearly 10, 900 members, virtual.
ly disbanded to-day, only twenty.seyen
appearing at called meeting, and not
one being willing to serve as officers Of
the organization, consequently no cleo
ton was held and the meeting broke up.
Storm signals have been flying at all
lake stations for nearly two weeks, but
until within three days there have been
few disasters to shipping. Now, however,
there are daily almost hourly reports OF
vessels ashore, dismantled or disabled by
the loss OF seamen. Three losses OF life
are reported tonight, Oliver Il. Dahl mate
OF the schooner Elizabeth Jones, in Saginaw
bay; Peter Peterson, master OF the schoon-
er Garibaldi, his nephew having been
rescued in frozen condition from the
same vessel (which was Of only thirty
tons burden )atter being in therigging twen-
ty-nine hours. The third loss OF life was
sailor, name unknown, from the schooner
Thomas Gowan. The wind has been very
high all day and amounts TO q gale to-
night. Other accidents on the lakes are
expected.
