THE RALLY ON CHANGE.

of Days Trading.

A Long Leap Upward Again the Result
of a Days Trading.
CHICAGO, April 19.-Wneat and corn
opened this morning with premonitiOns of
weakness, and under heavy selling the
prices shaded off trifie. A quick rally
followed, and the advance was so pro-
nounced and sharp as to make trading
during the middle of the session very eX-
cited.
May wheat sold at one time at $3.50, and
May corn advanced to 541ac., and a large
amount of trading was carried on even at
these quotations. After y O'Clock trading
grew less active, and prices receded to about
medium figures. Seventy-fve thousand
bushels of spring wheat were exchanged for
May at l cent difference, ana three lake pro-
pellers were chartered to carry 100, 900 bushels
of wheat to Buffalo. Outside buying orders
were more numerous to-day, which was one
of the leading causes that gave strength to
the market. Foreign advices were also more
favorable. The crop showing has not greatly
improved, and this with the promise of colder
weather, tended to strengthen the market.
Prices opened 4(G15c. lower, rallied 2G21sc.,
then declined nc. and closed 2sGs4c. over
the closing of Yesterday. April closed at
S64c. and May at S754c.
The corn market was greatly excited during
most of the session. Advlces from other
points were more favorable, and the ''shOrt'
interest were anxious to cover. The market
opened a shade lower, quickly rallied, ad-
vancing in all 25SG3l &c. above the inside
prices, with June showing the most strength.
Later more desire was shown to realize, and
prices declined l34@2lsc., fuctuated and
closed sc. higher for May, and &c. higher for
June than yesterday. April closed at 5l54c,
May at 53c.
Oats showed more strength at one time dur
ing the session but closed about the same as
yesterday. May, June and July closed at
3212c. Mess pork ruled irregular and showed
very little change. May closed at SIG so and

The Swiss Government Bent on Their
uppressiOn-Degaieff on Sudeikin.

pressed intention of the German and
Austrian Governments to open books and
papers in the mails from Switzerland, in

ing the latters character, aims and ac-
tiOn. Col. Sudeikin is described as the
typical embodiment of the social and poll
teal immortality which is destroying the
vitality of Russia. Col Sudeikin. De
gaietf SAYS, was no patriot, but an adven-
turer who was dead to feelings of human
ity and utterly unscrupulOus. Degaiefi
was once ordered by Col. Sudeikin to kill
a spy at Kharhoff. Col, Sudeikin aimed
at the office ofAIinister ofthe Interior and
the dictatorship of the whole of Russia.
The Car believed that Col. Sudeikin was
his only saving angel.

PHILADELPHIA, April IA special
from Limerick, Pa, says that the stove
works of Buckwalter & Co., of Royers-
ford, Montgomery county, are to be
moved to Elizabeth, n. j. This is done
in order to avoid the workmen lately en-
ployed in the works, who intimidate all
hands taken since the strike.
BLACK LISTED STRIKERS USE THE TORCH
PITTsBURG, April 19.-At Reynolds
vile, Jefferson county, the residence of
Mr.. Powers, Superintendent of Powers,
Brown & Co.'s coal mine, was burned this
morning, the inmates barely escaping
with their lives. The loss is $1,000.
Anonymous letters have been received by
Mr.. Powers for some weeks, warning him
to leave, and stating that his property
and life were in danger. The company
employs about 300 miners, a number of
whom were black-listed after the strike
last fall. The fire, without doubt, was
the work Of an incendiary.
BUFFALO "COURIER's' COMPOsITORs.
BUFFALO, April 19.-Trouble is still
brewing in the Courier office. Four men
left their cases to-day, and as many new
hands were taken on. Both sides remain

THE AAIALGAMATED CONFERENCE.
PITTsBURG, April 19.-The conference
of the AmaIgamatiOn Association and
manufacturers this afternoon, contrary
to expectation, resulted in Il disagree
ment. The workmen demanded that the
present rate of wages-$5 30 per ton for
puddling-be continued, with the eXcep-
ton of the extra 81 10 for axle iron, which
shall be dropped, and also presented adj
ditiOns and amendments which, it is
tain class of workmen from to 20per cent.
The manufacturers peremptorily refused
to accept the w0rkmen's proposition and
demanded a uniform reduction of 10 per
cent. in wages, which they claimed was
rendered necessary on account of Eastern
competition and the depression in the
trade. The wOrkmen denied that such
reduction was necessary, and also denied
that their scale provided for any increase.
The discussion lasted three hours, when
it was decided that an agreement was
impossible. Both sides profess to be firm
in their position. If one or the other does
not yield work will be suspended in all
the mills in the West after June /.
ONE HUNDRED MINERS DISCHARGED.
PITTsBURG, April 19.-One hundred
miners have been discharged from the

NEwBURGH, n. Y, April 19.-In the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Zion Conference,
now in annual session here, Bishop j. j.
Moore, presiding, Rev. T. G. Harper,
to-day offered his resignation as minis
ter of the denomination. He gave as his
reason that he did not like this country,
which he said was free only in theory.
He spoke of the caste spirit and the
ostracism Of colored men. He was calle1
here from his native country,
British Guinea, to become professor in
a Centenary College of New Jersey, but
owing to his color, his services were dis
pensed with. He said that he would enter
the Protestant Episcopal Church, receive
ordination and return to British Guinea.
Bishop Moore said that they all knew that
many of these statements were true.
ColOred men were not rightly treated
in the South, not being allowed decent ac-
cOmmOdatiOns in cars. Rev. Harper's
resignation was accepted.

An Editor ChaFacterizes the Population
as not Inclined to Revolutions.
BosTON, April 10. Simeon Levy, editor
and proprietor of the Uericdn FjRdlcieT,
who is in this city on business connected
with the Worlds Exhibition TO be held in
the City of Mexico in 1886, was interviewed
to-day in regard to reports of disturbances
in the interior of Mexico. He said that
the recent stories of such disturbances
were the merest fabricatiOns put
forth for stock jobbing purposes, that he
should not hesitate to say that there is
more inflammable material in the mass of
the population of the United States than
exists i'll Mexico, and that the lower
classes in Mexico were never better OFF
than they are to-day, particularly in the
large cities and towns along the railway
lines, where wages have adyadced 80 to
100 per cent. in the cOnstruc-
ton Of roads. He could truly
say that popular sentiment regard ing
Americans in Mexico had of late changed
rapidly for the better. The class Of
sharper" Americans, which first invaded
Mexico, had disappeared and left in their
places American business men, who are
appreciated by the natives. Prob
ably, more property had changed
hands in the last year than
in the previous ten years. The stamp tax
trouble, he said, was not a revolution.
The government had imposed a stamp tax
too heavy to be borne, and the merchants
quietly closed their places of business.
OF course the government had to give in
to the merchants, but no one talked of
revolution. 1t was sensible manner of
protesting against an OnerOus tax.
