Government Bond Purchases.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-It is authoritative ly stated at the Treasury department to-day that Secretary Fairchild's visit here yester- day had nothing to do with the matter of bond purchases and furthermore that there has been no change in the policy of the de- pertinent in that respect except to limit the purchases for the present to bonds other than those held ss security for national bank cir culation. An official who does not want his name mentioned, but who is in position to speak with authority, said this afternoon
 that there had been no change whatever in
 the policy of the departments in the matter of
 buying bonds except as indicated in the mo-
 tice issued yesterday that offers of bonds held
 as security for national bank circulation will
 be accepted for the present. The reason for
 this was simply because the deposits on this account for October had reached the limit fixed by law. It is an open secret, he con- tinued, that the department prefers to apply the surplus to the purchase of 411k per cent. bonds as the loan nearest maturity and there fore the one for the payment of which pro- vision must first be made, but it must not ! therefore be taken for granted that the pur- chase of per cents. is to discontinued until the 41z's are redeemed. To sum it up, said | the official, there will be no change in the \ treasury policy unless something unforeseen ' renders 1t necessary.

 year. He advised them to have gymna- sium even though it could be carried on only in a very small way.
 Greetings were received from California and Massachusetts. The next subject, "Work among boVs," was handled in an able manner by John P. Huntington of Norwich, ], 6 young man about seventeen years of age,
 and president of the boys branch there. He
 dwelt on first, the beginning; second, some methods employed, and third, results.
 MT. S. H. Berry, librarian of the Brooklyn
 association, ,gave good points as to what should be placed on the files and tables as good read ing matter for the young men.

This evening there was large attendance to listen to Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, author of the book entitled Successful men of to-day" Rev. Mir.

A sHAKx WHEAT MARKET.
FluctHatImE Up and Down Within
 Range of EO0r CeREa.

EkWctMa9AmE UP ana DoWh W1th4n a
 Range of FO1r Cents.
 CH1cRGo, Oct. 12.-Daily Business says: The fluctuations in December wheat to-day were compressed within the limits of 11436a 11S1S, 6 little less than four cents. May changes did not extend beyond the range IA a11714. The May discount went from one cent to two cents greatly to the disgust of the prsfsasional straddlers. Within the first three minutes the price of December travelled from IF to 11s1S and back to 116, and within i've minutes thereafter it had gone back to 118 and was on it's way down to 1142<, which was the inside price of the day. May was less yeasty, but it moved from 116 to 1171< while December was making it's initial squirt and it worked down to IA, with occasional violent reactionary spasms, rallying nearly one cent from the inside. At the bottom the selling was especially vigorous. A scramble ensued, December climbing to 117L and May follow ing more slowly % or cents behind. .Spscu- lative values did not hold at the full outside, but they were not again suffered to slip back as far as previously and trading for the last hour was on a basis of passable steadiness, if that term my be applied to 8 market that is in state of continual jelly-like nervous ness.

A Man Arrested i'm Belfast and Be-
 Meved to be the Murderer.
 LONDON, Oct. 12.-Much importance is att tached to the arrest at Belfast of a blood stained man, with razor and knives in his possession, on suspicion of being the White- chapel murderer. It was known beforehand that the man who had been writing mysteri- ous letters to editors of newspapers actually was in Belfast. On October 9th he wrote from London to the editor of Welsh news- paper. Two days afterwards he wrote to a Belfast editor, the envelope bearing the Bel. fast postmark, evidently addressed by the same person, the handwriting being. the same and the paper daubed over with red inkto initiate blood, exactly as in the specimens inspected. Since the evidence st the inquest yesterday about the handwriting on the wall, the identity of the murderer with the writer of these letters is generally be. lieVed
