CHICAGO, April 7.-Foreign markets came in
q penny lower on spot and opened higher on
cargoes. The boys thought if they were starving
cash property wouldn't deceive, 30 took the
benefit of the doubt and waited in selling
Yesterday was a great mistake, being a.holi-
day, and the boys that were not around to slip
in few fires at fifteen are growing like bear
with sore ear to-day. The opening this morn
ing was with considerable vim at 81. 144. 1t
advanced to $l.14% bid for May on the ru-
mors that the gang had sent in a list of receipts
numbers and houses stored in, to firm chosen
by the whole, so no cash property could be de-
livered on the April option without detection.
This had its effect for few moments but ex-
cited more ridicule than anything that has hap
pened on the board in some time. Good
traders accepted the rumor as a weak feature
and everlastingly got on top of it. Traders
that have felt bullish and were playing care
fully on that side Topped over quicker than
lightning, dumped their load and have been
happy since. This, and reports from New
York of light money market and the severe de-
cline on stocks and cotton, made the breadstuffs
market very sensitive and the closing is sicker
than pig, and if the foreign market lets up
tomorrow just trifie, hell will be to pay sure.

options largely dealt in, but quotations uncer-
tain. There was some demand early for
April at half cent discount, but the last price
was cent and a quarter. 1 can't hear of any
large lines of April out yet at half cent off
Saturday to make it regular.
Corn-If wheat had sold to ten this cereal
would not have been influenced more than it
was. The first steamer through the straits
came in last evening, making an
opening earlier than for years. This always has
stimulating effect OIL this cereal. as the active
shipping is always in corn. Transactions to-
day are without hardly any range; it was May
$3.50; June 3615; July 361. Charters good.
Provisions-No animation and trade liberal,
but wholly of a local nature. The poor, dear
granger is not even grunting and the Jews are
jubilant; May 80. 2719; June S10.40 bid.
Lard, $6.9711 May; $7.O5 June. Didn't hear
of trade in ribs this afternoon.

HIS STOMACH CONTRACTED.
| From the Little Rock Gazette. |

Dead men tell no tales, but they some
times frighten people out of their para
graphic wits and humors. Several days age
Mr.. j. McCloud, of Faulkner county, died
of rheumatism of the stomach. He was
very highly respected in his vicinity, and
when it became known around the neighbor-
hood that the soul had gone from 9
body that had been of such use to
agricultural society, a gloomy shadow
that the old sun could not lift seemed tc
hang over the "new. grown" fields. The
men left their grubbing hoes sticking in
the ground and went to the scene of sorrow
and the women, leaving half cooked meal,
in charge of children, accompanied them
A large party volunteered to sit up with the
corpse, and when night came many sad
faces of many sad women and men
were seen, sallowed by the mellow.
ing light of tallow candles. The min
lister came and, entering the door, remarked,
"earth to earth and ashes to ashes." The
corpse lay on table covered with sheet.
"He has gone over the road we must all trav-
ell" said the minister.
81 thought saw the sheet move," said one
of the watchers. "See if there is cat under
it,
The company sat still.
"I am confident that the sheet moved"
said the man.
The minister arose and lifted the sheet,
and standing he looked at the pallid face of
the dead man. The corpse's head left the
table. The minister fell back. Stiff, stark
and terrible the corpse slowly arose from the
table and attained sitting posture. The legs
remained stretched out and the arms fold
ed. The women shrieked and ran from
the room, and the minister, reprimanding
them for their weakness and want of con-
fdence, climbed fence and stood in the tur-
nip patch. When the frightened people saw
that the corpse did not intend to follow they
went back into the house. The corpse still
retained the upright, rigid posture, stiff as
the attitude struck by an amateur on the
stage.
With fears somewhat allayed the minister
advanced, and, placing hand on the dead
mans breast, pressed him backward. Pro-
as his head went down his heels
came up, and when his head touched the
board his heels were high in the air. The
cause of the dead mans freak was then dis
covered. The muscles of the stomach, distorted
by rheumatism, were contracting. It re-
quiredkhe efforts of two men to straighten
the corpse. A gentleman who was present
declares that he never before passed such a
fearful night, and with Clarence adds, 81
would not pass another such night thou gh
'twere to buy a world of happy days; 30 full
of dismal terror was the time."

Washington Special N. Y. Herald of Monday.
Among the numerous reports circulated here
concerning the influences affecting the decision
of the elections committee in the notorious
Donnelly- -Washburn case was enc in the follow
ing words, printed in Washington newspaper
some weeks ago:
Donnelly can't come in. Despite all state
ments to the contrary it is very doubtful if the
elections committee of the House
will report resolution unseating
MIR. Washburn, of Minnesota and seating
Donnelly, the contestant. The gossip is that
Tilden thinks it bad policy to unseat Wash
bcrn, and his influence seems to be powerful
enough to SECURE Washburn his seat, SO far at
least as the committee on elections is con-
cerned.
Mr.. FL. 81. Finley. who is supposed to act
here as Mr.. Tilden's confidential agent, was
moved to write to Mr.. A. s. Hewitt enclosing
this paragraph, and his note was, as near as he
recollects it, in the following words:-
WASHINGTON, March II, 1880.
Hon. A. s. Hewitt:
DEAR SIR: Please show the enclosed to
Mr.. Tilden and have an authoritative de-
NAL of it that / may show here. 1
know how absurd the charge is and do
not need any assurance myself, but it would be
we'll to have something to show that it is au-
thoritatlvely denied. VeryEuly yours,
II. Fl. FINLEY.
To this MIR. Hewitt replied:
New YORK, March IL, 1880.
r. q. Finley, Esq, Postoffice box 29l, Wash
ington, d. c.:
MY DEAR SIR:-Yours of the 11th inst.
is received. 1t is simply absurd
to suppose that Mr.. Tilden has
interfered in the slightest degree in the matter
to which you refer. You can assure Mr.. Donnel-
ly that there is not word of truth in the state
ment published in the Star. Yours truly,
ABRAM 8. HEWITT. .

DONNELLY'S DEFENSE.

He Replies to Springers Attack-That Gen.
tleman for DonnelIy When the Bribe
Giver's Offer Was Received-The Change
Sudden and Later.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Mr. Donnelly pub
fishes this morning long reply to Springer's
attack on him, and the general verdict is he
makes out strong case. He shows that when
the anonymous letter was mailed to Syringe,
he was paired to vote for Donnelly, and hence
he (Donnelly) could have no motive forfsend-
ing him such a letter. He also shows that
Springer was supporting him until the last
moment, and being confident that he
was to have that aid there was no occasion or
incentive to attempt to secure his (Springers)
vote by any such means as alleged. The letter
creates decided sentiment in favor of Donnel-
ly and leaves it difficult for Springer to explain
his change of heart. 1t is the general feeling
that Springer was both hasty and unjust in his
attack.

NEW HAVEN, Ct.. April THE Republican
State convention was held to-day, Amos s..
Treat, chairman. "a resolution was introduced
favoring the nomination of some man like Ed
munds or Washburne, but was withdrawn, the
temper of the convention appearing opposed
to anything like instructions. The delegates
chosen at large are Henry G. Robinson, of
Hartford; John M. Douglass, Middleton; Au-
gustus Bandage, New London; Samuel Fessen-
en-. Stamford. The convention pledges itself
and constituency to the hearty, vigorous and
loyal support of the nominees of the Republi-
can national convention at Chicago. 1t is
thought the delegation stands: Blaine, 5; Ed
munds, 4; Washburne, 3.

BIsMARoK's RESIGNATION.


LONDON, April IA Berlin correspondent
telegraphs that no small excitement and evil
dent alarm was at tlrst produced by the publi-
cation of the momentous news of Bismarck s
resignation of the chancellorship, these foot
ings soon give way on more sober reflection to
the conviction that the incident must not be
looked at in it's most serious light. No one
can possibly believe either that the chancellor
earnestly desires to withdraw from office-he
has confessedly too much important unfinished
work for that--or that the emperor is convinced
of the serious intention of his illustrious SER
want to resign.
WILL BACK DOWN.
BERLIN, April TN parliamentary circles 1t
is considered certain that the bundesrath will
reconsider the bill passed by that body impos-
ing imperial stamp duties and agree with The
views of Bismarck. The statement that Bis
marck rendered his resignation three days ago,
and that upon the emperors refusal to accept
it he rendered it again on the ground of i'll
health, is unfounded. Bismarck only rendered
his resignation yesterday. The decision of the
emperor regarding the resignation is not yet
made known.
MASTER OF THE SITUATION.
LONDON, April IA Times dispatch from
Berlin says: On all hands it is not for NO
ment doubted that Bismarck will succeed in
carrying his point. and in the interview to
which he was summoned by the. emperor he
doubtless heard enough to induce him to with
draw his resignation. 1t is said the wrath Of
Bismarck will not be wholly appeased without
thesaacriice of certain high officials.
dispatch from Berlin says the emperor has
had long conference with the crown prince,
at which it was determined Bismarck should
remain IN office.
CHANNINa's ANNIVERSARY.
LONDON, April The one hundredth ami
versary of the birth of Rev. DR.. William Ell
lery Charming was celebrated last night at st.
James hall. Two thousand persons were pres
ent. The platform was adorned with Ameri-
can and English flags. A letter from Mr..
Lowell, American minister, was read, excusing
his absence on account of the illness of his
wife. DR.. Collyer. of the United States, deliv-
cred the final address.

citing the alleged outrage perpetrated upon
johnson Whitaker, cadet at West Point acad-

any information which he may have in regard
to the alleged outrage, and also as to what
steps, if any, have been taken in regard thereto.
Mr.. Cox hoped the resolution would be adopt
ed and the matter investigated.
Mr.. Aiken objected. He represented the
district from which Whitaker came, and he
felt fully competent to see that he was tho
roughly protected. The authorities of West
Point were now investigating the matter and
he thought it better to await that decision than
to Jump at conclusions based on newspaper re-
ports, especially later reports said that it was
