CHICAGO GRAIN CORNERS.
Settling the April DeaI-Talking
About the New Wheat Clique.

A Chicago dispatch SAYS the directors Of
the Board OF Trade met Thursday and con-
nrmed the committee first selected by the
PRESIDENT to tiX a price for the defaulted
April contracts. Only one director out Of
the full number was absent, and # is under
stood that only four voted against the com
mittee. The following is the committee
confirmed In the order given: G.. T. Smith,
w A Blair, II. A. TOwner, e. E. Culver, A.
NJ. Wright.
Everybody is mystified by the action of
the new "hest clique. Said a broker to-day:
There is not much trading in wheat, for
every one is afraid of it. They talk about a
big line of shorts being out for Nav and
June. They must have sold some weeks
ago, for l have seen no time within a month
when the market has been really active.
Maybe the clique is trying to tickle the pub
lie into selling short. Seller May has been
down to day to 81 %, and rose subsequently.
Corn is the great speculative article on
Change now. The trading In It has in
creased vastly since the manipulation Of
wheat became the rage. Old operators who.
a few seasons ago, never knew there was
any market but wheat, have deserted It en-
tirely and put their faith and money into
corn. They think It the safest market to
trade In. There will be a squefzs in corn,
though. and big one, the shorts will dis

see corn sell at ninety cents per bushel.
"The crowd have reasons for thinking the
two large traders heretofore named are I'm
the deal. One Of them is IN oats, too. l
think It quite probable that Hobbs will start
en- his long contemplated missionary tour
around the world after this deal is settled,
and Dows will by that time be ready. to take
a boat for Duluth, where be has exteusive
elevator Interests. Provisions would seem
to be an inviting field for some schemer, but
no one appears inclined to organize a deal
Just now. hope the committee who are to
fix on a price for the April contracts will
make a sweeping investigation and give the
result to the public, who are at present
deeply interested IN all that pertains to cor
ners. II It should be proved that the April
deal was a deliberate conspiracy to forestal
the market, the fellows who ran it might
find It convenient to skip out of the Stale."

Troy Press "The elevator In julius saul's
clothing establishments, early Tuesday
morning, became unmanageable after it got
up to the fourth fooI. aud all efforts to
lower 1t proved futile. After working for a
time maehinist was sent for and began In
yestigating the workings of the apparatus.
The elevator is propelled by water power,
and the water was pumped out of the pit,
but nothing was found to be the matter
there. The aaehinist labored all day taking
apart portions of the machinery. The
next morning the Investigation was re-
sumed, and the three-inch pipe through
which the water is forced was taken apart.
Here was found the cause of the trouble, in
the shape of an eel which had forced its way
into the pipe, and by the operation Of the
valve had been cut IN several pieces. By
actual measurement the eel was found to be
twenty-ni inches long and six inches in
circumference. After It's removal and the
placing together of the pipe the elevator
worked satisfactorily"

earthed.

ring who have counterfeited land scrip,

tensive. He says they realize fly per cent

must have realized from $500, 900 to $780, 600

THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
Latest ArraDgemen, of she Powers.

LONDON, May GA dispatch to the Times
from Paris says: ga consular report re-
specting events in London have revived ap-
prehensions, which were latterlY calmed
down. According to the latest exchange of
views between France, Germany and Aus
tria, the powers will allow France the initia-
tive in the Egyptian question, leaving
France to come to an agreement with Eng
land so as to secure the unanimity of
their views. The principle of Turkish in
tervention under any form in Egypt has
been abandoned. Mahomed Tewtk, the
present KhediVe, will be retained in power
so long as his retention is in compatibility
with the existence of order in Egypt, on
failure Of which Hahn Pasha will be sub
stituted for him through the medium of a
protest and the unanimous request of the
powers, but the powers have intimsted that
nothing must be done to precipitate the de-
thronement of Mshomed Tewfk, nor must
the accession of Hahn Pasha be broached
until the dethroneDent OF Mahomed Tewfik
becomes necessity in the interest of the
powers, and Of Egypt in particular. This
plan, while rendering the Porte an instru-
ment OF deposition, keeps the Khediviate
under the collective protection OF the pow
ers, and places them pro JornaG under the
control of the Sultan,

Mr.. Ernest Morris. the young traveller and
naturalist, who has just returned from
Brazil, repeats the general observation Of
explorers that the exuberance of insect life
is the principal obstacle to the enjoyment OF
a soiourn in that part OF the world. Cock
reaches swarm in every house despite the
iuroads of an army of spiders, which sslly
forth from every chink to prey upon them;
scorpions are intrusive and DANGEROUS;
small red insect called the "mecuimp is an
intole rable annoyance; at certain hours OF
the day the air is black with hies and mos
ouitoes; and ants are universal plague,
TO battle these las named foes of peace
Mr.. Morris was obliged to keep his entire
collections on hanging shelves, the cords
OF which were soaked in oil OF CO.
paiba. "The most destructive ant In
Brazil" says Mr. Morris, ''is the san
ba. It will strip the trees OF their foliage In
