This They Cali "Business."

New YORK, JAN 11.-Russell Sage was badly
squeezed yesterday on sudden call of William
H. Vanderbilt for 200 shares of Michigan Central
stock. Sage's excuse was that he was attending
a funeral, and had thus neglected to make delv-
cry. Only those who were present on his return
to his office can appreciate the state of his feel
ingsl just before the close of business on the
Stock Exchange today Chairman Mitchell read
a notice from one Of Vanderbilts sons s-in-law to
the effect that Sage had failed to make delivery
of 200 shares of Michigan Central, and in default
of delivery, request was made that the chair
man buy in 200 shares on Sages account For a
moment the members in doubt as to the
amount of undelivered stock, and the horrible
suspicion of Sage's failure and its consequences
crossed their minds. Then the humor of the
situation flashed across the board droom, and there
was one prolonged yell of delight

The Railway Lobby Appears in Force and
Demands Hearing.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE railroad lobby arp-
peared to-day at the rooms of the committees ON
commerce and Judiciary with as much assurance
as if the Huntington letters had not been pub
lished and wanted forty days time to debate
the interstate commerce bill Another lobby
wanted three days debate in which to show
the railroad committee that it ought to
turn some of the bills before it as to forfeit
ing land grants over to another committee
The commerce committee decided to give
only three days to the hearing of the interstate
commerce bill. since the arguments before this
committee at the last Congress were in print and
covered the whole ground of opposition. Chair
man Reagan is much in earnest, but the other
members say that no legislation is likely to rem
edy existing evils, and prefer to let these ques-
tions settle themselves, as do other purely busi-
ness matters.
The subcommittee the judiciary. charged
with considering a bankrupt bill will await the
result of the session of the national bankrupt
committee, soon to assemble here.

The Weakness Caused by Depression in For

CHICAGO, JAN .-"Demoralizedm He was
. DULL and had just escaped from the seething,
boiling, yelling crowd of sellers in the wheat pit
when he was asked the condition of the markets.
Seated in his office, and having caught his
breath the trader delivered himself as follows:
'Wheat has all gone to pieces; it is weaker to-
day than bean soup without the beans"
what has transpired to break the backbone
of wheatg"
I'm tell YOU replied the trader assuming
Webster unabridged dictionary tone of voice,
which carried conviction with it, ''the weak fea-
ture in wheat was continued depression
in foreign markets, and the fact that the large
short interest which had existed for some time
has been covered, and the market, being evened
up, sank of its weight The crowd to-day
were all sellers, which of itself was enough to
break down the market. The winter wheat crop
never promised better at this season of the year,
and this, with large stocks and no demand is
not encouraging to better prices. Wheat is ten
cents higher than it can be sold at, and it is
bound to go down"
The weakness in wheat at the commencement
Of trading was largely owing to the failure
of Waterman, in San Francisco and the restora
ticn of freight rates between Chicago and New
York The break may be attributed, for the
most part, to heavy sales of Schwartz & Dupee,
who it is said, unloaded to the extent of several
millions of bushels Bangs was also reported to
have done his best to bring wheat down to 81. He
sold two lots of 5000 bushels each at that figure;
but it is pretty certain that the sales were never
intended to stand and were washed off" after
ward. The statements of some, to the
effect that the ''shorts" are all in,
is sharply disputed by a few
who consider the present break owing entirely
to the concentrated efforts of several big
bears" natural causes tending the other way
They mention several strong houses which,
they assert, are still Short and are firm in
their belief that wheat will never see 81 again,
but will sell at least at 81 % before June
On the call, prices were lower and the market
weak There were few transactions at 81 for
May wheat, but not nearly all the orders to
buy at that price could be filled To
night there is very weak feeling, and
the "bears" will make q determined effort
to break May wheat as low as 81.

CHINESE GORDON.
Prediction that He and Stanley Cannot Work
i'm HARMONY,


i'm Harmony.
LONDON Jan. u.-"Chinese" Gordon is occu-
pying large share of public attention at pres
ent. 1t is now fully understood in London that
King Leopold has not appointed him to succeed
Mr. Henry NJ Stanley in the command of the
Congo colonization expedition, but has invited
him to accept a joint control with Mr. Stanley
of the future operations of the African Inter
national Association. Some public men here
wlro have had experience in previous
schemes of colonization on the Dark Continent
insist that 1t will be impossible for General Cor
don and Mr.. Stanley to work amicably together
They say that both are men of positive char
acter, accustomed to independent command and
autocratlc control; and that Stanley is already
in the field, Chinese" Gordon will be prac-
tically his subordinate when he joins the expe-
dition.
This situation is likely to chafe the spirit OF
any soldier like General Gordon and will the
croakers assert lead to dissensions which will be
fatal to the success of the colonization move
ment. King Leopold, however, cannot see why
the two explorers should not get on harmonious
ly, and expresses the hope that the different
sphere of their duties will prevent a
clashing of their interests or wishes
General Gordon himself says that he
accepted the command rendered him by the
KING OF the Belgians solely in order to continue

which was so vigorously prosecuted by Sir
Samuel Baker and himself in the Soudan region,
and which he now proposes to revive in the
heart of Africa. As measure toward extirpat-
ing slavery General Gordon declares that he
will enlist force of at least l. 900 blacks, with
which he will hunt the slave-dealers intercept
their caravans, and release their victims from
the Congo to the Red sea.
Ever since the outbreak of Ell Mahdi's rebel
lion General Gordon has very freely criticised
the policy of the British governmental regard to
the Soudan trade, and since his arrival in London
his criticisms have been more outspoken than be-
fore. 1t is certain that these choleric express
sons of the old fighter have been the cause Of the
cold shoulder that has been turned toward him
in the war office 1t is hinted now, in circles
supposed to gain information directly from official
sources that the government prefers the serv-
ices of Colonel Coetliger, now bottled up in
Khartoum, to those of 'Chinese" Gordon and
that the official tide is setting in favor of the
restoration of Arab Pasha to the military com
mand to which his services entitle him, and the
rehabilitation of the National or young Egypt"
