Special Telegram TO the Globe.
New YORK, April 26.-Stocks have been
feverish and excited the greater part of the
day. The Coalers suffered severely. Jersey
Central, which closed on Saturday rather firm
at so, fell to 76I during the morning. Large
lines of shorts were covered, but even that
failed to help the situation. The Changers
were unfavorably affected by reports that the
prospects for peace were very slim. Canada
Southern on small trading went points be-
low Saturdays figures. The Wabash stocks,
though dull, were lower and looked badly
The total sales up to noon amounted to over
200, 900 shares. Oregon Transcontinental
collapsed, and the light weights generally
were all lower. Canada Pacific was about the
only property that held its own. Western
Union acted worse than ever and was pressed
for sale. The announcement of the failure
of prominent firm Of brokers did not help
rady engaged for shipment tomorrow.
Though prices rallied trife at the finish the
feeling continued feyerish up to the close of
business.
Henry Clews & Co. say: 'The bulls have
not been able to extract much comfort from
to-day's market. 1t opened weak, grew
weaker, and although it closed with moder-
ate rally it betrayed feverishness that can
not deceive the professional eye as to its
real strength. The Gould stocks were evi-
IDENTIFY left to paddle their own canoe, and
pretty mess they made Of it, careening on
the slightest provocation. st. Paul's friends
are becoming alarmed about the prolonged
illness. Jersey Central had another of
those bad attacks that threaten some day to
carry it off into that bourne from which it
has SO lately returned Union Pacific acted
queer to say the least, and behaved in a
manner that should not be thought of by
any strong, wen-balanced, diyidend-paying
stock"

ceedings at the Fire with Loss

PANAMA, via Galveston, April 2S.-A ter
rible fire ragged here from II o'clock last
night till o'clock this morning. No water
was available. The market and two blocks
of houses were totally destroyed, Loss es-
timated at S15O,0O0 During the progress
of the fire, large mob of men, a portion of
them armed with revolvers, did considerable
plum dering, and many of them became in
toxicated. The soldiery were called out and
quarreled among themselves. The owners
of the burning property then fired upon the
plunderers, KILN g several Of them.
The ruins are still burning. The damage
is now estimated at half million dollars
houses were demolished to check the progress
of the fire. During tho early part there was
perfect fusilade Of Chinese crackers, with
occasional heavy explosions. Most of the
buildings burned were Of wood, and nearly
all contained stores of petroleum, spirits and
gunpowder. One soldier Is said to have been
shot dead for disobeying orders. An Italian
fell into the flames and pershed. Hamburg
insurance offices are the chief losers. The
natives are busiy engaged searching for
treas ure amongst the debris. The Chinese
suffered heavily.

THE ORDWAY INDICTMENT.
Bribery in the Organization of Faulk
County the Charge-s10,000
Bail Given.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

YANKToN, D. T., April 2S.-Under an in
dictment charging him with asking and re-
ceiving bribes as United States officer, Gov.
Ordway to-day gave bail in the United States
court in the sum of $4,000 for his appear
ance at the next trial term of court, probably
in June. Alex. Mckenzie, Vermillian
banker, went on his bond. The indictment
refers to alleged bribery in the organization
of Faulk county, the particulars of which
have been repeatedly published.
Ordway did not come nearer Yankton than
Vermillion. From there he sent his attor-
ney, and his bond was accepted without the
appearance Of the prisoner The jury dis
charged this noon have been waiting week
for Tebbitts, Ordway would have subpenaed
but the officer could not find him.
The jury adopted lengthy resolutions, re-
futing all the charges made by the Ordway-
ties against the United States judge and at
torney, and certifying under oath to the i'm
partial character of the investigation. The
resolutions state that the evidence shows the
necessity for investigation, and that while
many points have been examined which can
not be made public, the whole is sufficient to
cause serious alarm over the methods Of con-
ducting public affairs.

cred by lack of funds, although the former
branch costs very much less than that Of any
other frst-class power, while the latter is
more than self-sustaining. The primary
duty Of a government is to protect its
citizens wherever they may be. To this
duty, the question Of money must be subor-
dinate, and the cost of single post, or even
the entire service of this country does not
merit serious consideration, when compared
with the jealous protection of the rights Of
American citizens abroad, which they have a
right to expect and demand.
Several representatives of the Indian
Rights association appeared before the senate
committee on appropriations to-day and
made appeals for a more liberal provision
for Indian education.
NEW MONEY ORDER OFFICES,
tits estimated by the postofice depart

cent decision Of the United States court at
Louisville, and the determination expressed
by Postmaster General Gresham to enforce
the law forbiddiug the use of the mails for

JEANETTE INVESTIGATION.
The Cause of the Dispute Between
Collins and Melville.

COllHS dHu mtlFlllc.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-In the Jeanette
investigation Lieut.. Davenhower was on the
witness stand a few minutes.
Melville followed him and stated the gem
eral social feeling among the officers and
crew of the Jeannette was never better in any
ship that had so long cruise. During the
talk between DeLong and Collins witness
heard Collins say: "Captain, wish the Off
GERS would try to treat meas courteously as
try to treat them.'' DeLong picked him up
rather sharply, asking, "what Is the matter
with youa If you have any particular charge
to make against any officer, make it now,
and will have it Investigated. Witness
heard no more, but was told by DeLong next
day that Collins complained OF witness
about always singing Irish songs and maxim 6
Irish jokes to make game of my country
men. Delong advised witness to sing psalms
or not sing at all. Witness went straight TO
Collins and said to him he didn't think his
conduct was manly. Collins replied he could
explain it In minute. Witness declined to
listen to any explanation and said, ''Now
from this time forth you keep to your side Of
the boat and will keup to mine" Witness
never sang Irish songs or made Irish jokes
In Collins presence thereafter, nor did he
ever speak to him, except when required by
the necessity Of the service to do so. In ref
erence to the failure of his boat to go to
Bulun to take news concerning the missing
parties, witness said such an expedition was
impossible and that when the attempt was
abandoned all hands were very glad. Capt
Delong had told him to go to some Russian
settlement with his own party before looking
out for others.

THEY DOWN ED HIM.
Great st. Louis Speculator Ruined by
the Chicago Deals.

ST. LOUIS, April est is announced this
afternoon that Moses Fraley, prominent
grain and stock speculator of this city, has
failed for a large amount. The full facts in
the case are not yet known, but it is stated
on high authority that Fraley was short about
two million bushels Of wheat and corn in
Chicago. His losses on this will be upwards
of S4O0, 900. He is also said to short large
amount of wheat in New York, and he lost
S190, 600 in Union and Texas Pacific stocks.
Mr.. Fraley is president of the Fraley Carter
Commission company, but that concern Is in
no wise interested in this affair, Mr..
Fraleys speculations being conducted solely
on his individual account. Mr.. Fraley was
formerly junior member of the brokerage
firm of Donaldson & Fraley, was known as a
successful business man, and cut something
Of figure in local politics at one time. 1t
is said by his friends that he made some
$780, 900 on wheat and corn during the last
big break in prices in Chicago, and that since
then there has been com bination formed
against him, which was too strong for him.

possible there may be more than will be
wanted before the week is out. Shippers
should keep sharp lookout and be well
posted
A. NJ. Wright & Co. says: ''We still re-
gard the intrinsic position of the market as
strong for both wheat and corn.''
Crosby 81 Co. say: eve think there is
little desire to manipulate or bull market fur
ther at this moment, and the parties under
it are content to let one crowd play with it a
day or two, expecting, with fine weather, to
create local short interest. The days ac
ton and trading indicated that this latter
feature is now working, and we think wheat
purchase now on all weak spots.n
Milmine, Bodman & Co. say: ''The whole
ingly nervous, and we think it is shaping for
lower prices, but there is no use making any
predictions as to the future when the specu-
latiVe fever is running so wild, yet we think
sales now should be reasonably safe for a
quick turn The market Is not in good or
safe condition to be bought from either side
with safety. There are certainly no legiti
mate causes warrauting this extraordinary
advance. and it Is plainly the result OF man
ipulation, having its source at New York,
where some shrewd operators, taking adVan-
tage Of the meagre stocks, contract wheat and
the shortage in the market, gave that market
first-class scare, which has been fully re-
fected here, We should not be surprised to
see a rapid decline follow this soda water
bulge But at the same time the visible sup
ply is likely to show more rapid decrease
than formerly, and we think the export
movement will be somewhat increased also.
While we look for some decline from the un-
called for advance we advise caution in short
selling until the next crop is better assured
We anticipate continued light receipts OF
corn now until after planting is over We
think there is more to hold the advance in
corn than wheat.''
s. H. Wood g Co. of Minneapolis in their
circular letter tonight say:
The grain markets to-day have been very
much excited, as room traders are expecting
Il e1ner in the May deal, but they are look
ing little too far ahead. They will have a
little more ground for their fears a month or
so later, especially If orders to join US con-
tinue to come in from the country as fast
as they have for the past three days, as
our house alone will have enough backing to
buy the entire cash stock in Chicago, and
with the Chicago house will make huge
corner.

A TOWN DEVASTATED.
A Great OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES De-
moIished to Stop Its Progress.

GLENsFALLs, n. H., April 28.-A terrible
fire is raging. The loss will reach over
100000 The union hall, opera house and
Presbyterian church burned; also fifteen
stores and twice as many offices. The fire
is still raging at 7:15 q. m.
The firemen demolished part Of "murder-
ers' row. a line of shanties, each one being
occupied as saloon, to prevent the spread
of the flames. The people regret that the
s'row'' was not destroyed. A band of In
dians giving an exhibition here saved good
deal of property. The high wind carried
the flames beyond the control of the local
fire department, and the fire apparatus of the
neighboring villages assisted in the work of
subduing the flames. Thirty business firms
are burned out. Total loss, 100000. In
surance, 100000,

BRITISH MARKETS.

LONDON, April 2S.-The Mark Lane En-
press, in its review of the British grain trade
for the past week, says: The weather is
milder, with rain. Native wheat is scarce
to-day and the demand less active. Flour
is quiet. Maize is Cd to Is dearer. In
the off coast trade there is rather more de-
mand. There were nineteen arrivals, eight
cargoes sold, three were withdrawn, and
nine remained. Inquiry for cargoes on pas
sage and for shipment has slackeued Sales
of English wheat for the past week were

/ %, $50 bushels; shipped, 19,407 bushels.
We have to report continued activity under
this head and further appreciation of 2@3c
per bushel for the week, with the cash in few
hands, yet fairly held, and the heavy advance
in other markets was having regular ten
dency for higher prices in rye. The demand
for cash was less free and the movement
lighter, still the stuff is largely sold ahead
aud would not come on sale on this account.
The receipts of barley for the week were
136,07S bushels, shipments 92,540 bushels.
Received for the corresponding time last year
SO, 242 bushels; shipped 46, COS bushels. A
neglected and dull market was noted for the
week and values have been reduced &c per
bushel from Monday to Saturday, with more
liberal arrivals Of cash and a higher demand,
giving dull tone, while a desire to realize
on the outstanding trades for May and the
willingness TO allow reduction In order to
do SO, gave tho decline noted for this month.
