LONDON, May 2l.-Tho Mark Lane Err
press, in its review OF the British grain
trade during the past week, says:
English wheat values during the week
have been difficult to maintain. The
demand for flour is small, but the guam
titles now ground locally are so much
reduced that the provincial markets
have raised the price of country flour.
The hot weather has given an impetus
to crops and the barley, oat and wheat
fielAs show an excellent plant. II the
favorable weather lasts the crop prom
ises to be above the average. Foreign
wheat is slow and unchanged, with the
exception Of Russian, which is u fraction
cheaper. The excitement in the markets
Of America has not affected prices here.
India is beginning to ship more freely.
Lower freights are also causing anima-
ton in the shipments from Australia.
Foreign flour is held against buyers.
Corn is in less demand. Values are
rather weaker. There is Il fair trade for
oats at enhanced prices. Linseed is

CHICAGO, May 2l.-In the Turner'S
Convention to-day resolutions were
adopted ordering the National Executive
Board to defray the expenses Of crema-
ton OF the body Of Kruger, delegate,
in accordance with his last wish.
A communication was read from the
League for the preservation OF Freedom
and Right of Cincinnati denounCing all
proposed knownothlng enactments like
the bill OF Congressman Adams, rs "the
outcome Of the old hatred against all i'm
migrants not especially English, and us
n reaction to the absolute idea that Eng
land and Europe was the mother coun.
try OF the United States. The communi'
cation had been approved by number
OF Turner societies and was referred tor
action to the Committee on National Al
fairs.
A warm debate was caused by an
item in the Auditing Committees re-
port OF $732 expenditures for sending
delegates to the convention OF the soci.
ety for physical culture at Brooklyn. II
was finally decided that the expense
was justified as having contributed to
the establishment Of friendly relations
between the German speaking and
American promoters ofphysical culture,
Perhas pthe most important business
OF the day was the adoption OF an
amendment to the report OF the Com
mittee on Constitution, making it obi.
gatory for all members Of the Turner'S
societies to become citizens Of the
United States. A demand for the abol,
ition of the United States Senate and
for the election OF the President OF the

the first time since his return from the

Cincinnati with no ideas Of vulgar COM

us but We are perfectly resigned to the
result. Many Of their delegates were

Other Ball Games.

Other Ball Games.
Special DispGteh TO he IRteIliOenoer.
KALAMAZOO, MICH, May 2l.-Rarely,
If ever, has there been a finer game OF
ball played here than was witnessed this
afternoon between Kalamazoo and
Wheeling. The game was replete with
brilliant plays, each team seemingly
determined to out-shine the other.
Knauss went into the box with grim
determination to retrieve his defeat of
last Friday or die in the attempt. His
work was very fine, especially at crit
cal points. Three separate times the
Kazoos had a man on third base with
only one man out, but the side was
retired in each instance through his
strategic work. Side by side with his
pitching stands that Of "Bill" Sweeney.
He was in excellent form and puzzled
the Virginians greatly, but his support
at critical moments was weak, Calhoun
and Day being responsible for all the fair
runs scored By the visitors. The CHIEF
beauty Of the pitchers work was their
coolness and steadiness. While the
number OF hits made off each was not
small, yet there was sequential hitting.
An additional feature OF the game was
Delahanty's fine work. This was his
final game with Wheeling and he played
it for all he was worth; he ran bases In
great style, his headlong slides being i'm
mense. 0tterson, Yak and Van Zant
also put up an excellent game.
For Kazoo, Dwyer, 0'Neil and Riley |
did the best fielding. Calhoun caught
well outside Of one rank play. With
the stick Daily, Delahanty, Daley, Mich
oI and Van Zant led, Daley making a
drive to right centre for a
home run in the eighth. The Wheeling
team has made a fine impression here.
They have shown that they are ball
players from the ground up, and the
pace they have now set is too fast for
the Tri.State League. The score:

abroad proposed to give to the Smith
sonian Institution a very large collection
of armor from middle ages, some Of it
connected with the most eminent his
torical names. These objects, number
ing some five thousand, had been col
lected at vast expense, and the colleC-
ton was said to be the most valuable OF
its kind in the world. The condition Of
the presentation was that the Smith
sonian Institution would furnish a fire
proof building for the protection OF the
armor. The bill was passed.

the enjoyment OF the first day OF the

Military Affairs to report whether some
amendment ought not to be made to the
lnws in relation to army enlistments, SC
us to prevent the enlistment in time oi
peace of men with wives or families de-
pendent upon them for support without
notice to or consent OF their wives.
The Senate then proceeded to the bust
ness on the calendar and passed numer-
Gus bills.
The Senate bill for the erection oi
postofIice buildings in towns and cities
where the postotiice receipts for three
years preceding have exceeded three
thousand dollars annually, having been
reached on the calendar, objection was

out authorizing the Postmaster General
to accept sites granted or donated for
postoifice buildings and contributions to
the purchase OF sites, or in aid OF the
construction, and directing preference to
be given to localities that provide sites

ARRANGING FOR THE CONVENTION.
How the Delegates will be sented-Admis
sion Tickets Limited.

How tho Delegates VIII De Schtou-aumis'
sion Tickets Limited.
CHICAGO, May 2l.-The subcommittee
OF the National Republican Committee
has been in session in Chicago for two
days arranging the details OF the Con-
vention, and deciding upon the distribu'
ton OF tickets and allotment Of seats to
the press, and other matters OF detail.
The seating capacity OF the Hall is seven
thousand, thus neCesSitating smaller
apportionment OF seats than heretofore.
The committee decided to give to each
delegate three general tickets for distri-
button, and one press ticket to each del
egate, thus enabling the delegates to
take care OF the local press in their dis.
trict and State. One hundred and
forty-seven working seats and tables are
provided for such OF the larger daily
newspapers us will make up and send
out from the hall special telegraphic re-
ports to supplement the verbatim report
OF the Associated Press. No other pa
pers excepting those sending out such
special reports can be given representa-
ton at these tables.
In the 147 seats are included the seats
required by the Associated Press and
officials .stenographers. The local
press committee was directed to carry
out these PROVISIONS and also notified
that the largest number OF working
tickets or seats given to any paper should
be three. The greater portion OF the
daily papers taking reports will have but
one seat. Alternate delegates will have
no tickets except their own, or none for
distribution. The remaining tickets will
be divided between the press and the
members OF Congress, Governors OF
States and other distinguished guests.

Sny district are unaccounted for,
and no trace Of them whatever can
be found. 1t is probable that
many fatalities will be recorded
when all the facts regarding the flood
are fully known. Much sickness pre-
walls among the destitute people from
the inundated districts, but the relief
committees OF Quincy are rendering
every possible assistance to those in dis.
tress. The river to-day is falling slowly,
having declined nine inches from the

PlTrsBURGH, Pa, May 2l.-The iron
manufacturers of the Mahoning Valley
have formed a combination to advance
their mutual interests. The Iron Manu-
facturers' Association, as it is known,
has enrolled in its membership every
manufacturer of iron and steel in the
Mahoning Valley. The officials assert
that the object of this centralization Of
interests is to prevent any unjust dis
elimination against them by the rail
roads in shipments to and from the
Mahoning Valley. 1t is probable the
new association will figure prominently
in the settlement Of the scale question
this year.
