English Owners OF Chicago Ele-
vators Attempt a squeeze.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Shippers and re-
ceivers of grain on the board Of trade
are considerably exercised over the ac-
ton of the elevator syndicate that Is
controlled by English capitalists IN rails
ing the storage rate from nine to more
than ten cents year per bushel for all
sorts of grain. The advance was entirely
unexpected. Board of trade men
thought when the English syndicate got
possession of the Wheeler e Munger
storage properties that rates would be
Systematically lowered. and that
elevators that have for years
been practically "shut down"
under system similar to that
practiced by trusts and other monOpo-
lies, would be opened for the purpose of
eoualizing rates of storage. The. syndi-
cate seems to have anolhel course in
view, however. AT conference held
yesterday, the following changes in
grain rates were adopted: On all grain
received on and after Jan. l, 1890, one
cent per buShel for the first ten days or
part of same, and Is of cent per bushel
for each additional ten days or part of
same, so long as it
REMAINS IN GOOD CONDITION.
On and after Jan. /. 1870. storage will
be at the foregoing rates until four
cents per bushel shall have accrued,
after which no additional storage will
be charged until the first day of May,
1890, so long as the grain remains in
good condition. On and after the
first day of December next, storage
will be al the foregoing rates until four
cents per bushel shall have accrued,
after which no additional storage will be
charged till the first day of May, 1891, so
long as the grain remains in good con
ditiOn. The increase. it seems, is direct
ed chiefly against Robert LindblOm &
Co., the board of trade firm who on Jan.
will receive a delivery of wheat
amounting to considerably over 100000
bushels. II do not know" said Mr..
Lindblom, '.just what the board of
trade will do in the matter, but meet
ing to protest against the advance has
been called"
"What is the maximum charge
allowed by law?''
Fifteen cents; so you see the elevat-
or pr0prietorS are keeping well within
the law"
"What is the, purpose in making the
advance~
simply to make the properties pay
more than they ought to. Why, if they
were to charge the full legal rate on an
elevator that holds 100000 bushels of
grain. and that the same elevator was to
remain full year. they would realize
every cent the plant cost them"
"What will be the effect of the
raise?''
sit will simply draw money from the
board of trade. from the farmer and the
producer. 1t will not, however, be per-
manent. 1t can't be. There are too
many elevators outside of Chicago
where grain can be stored, and which
can be utilized by us, DIS we'll as the
ones we have here. This raise is simply
the result of the elAyator prOprietors di-
verting wealth from It's natulcsl channel
by purchasing and tilling their store
houses, so as to compel the board OF
trade TO pay them excessive storage.

exposure had its sanitary effect. Agents
accused of dishonest and fraudulent
practice have repeatedly been up for
Investigation by the authorities since
that time, and the poor patti Onizers OF
employment agencies have no doubt
prOiited thereby. The Bee Hive En-

tigatlon 10y Mayor Smith yesterday.
Several complaints. backed by indISput-
able evidence, satisfied the mayor that

money into the concern on promise of
work. being afterwards decoyed so far
from the city that they were not liable
to return. The license to the place, is

in which Atlanta and Boston, Georgia and

That, remembering the last word Of our

WIDE APART AS THE POLES.

Attorneys Arguments In the Car
penIer-Roche Mandamus Pro-
ceedinss.
Judge WIlkin was yesterday occupied
the entire day in hearing the argument
in the mandamuS proceedings against
City Comptroller Roche.
Attorney C. n. Bell, arguing on be-
half of Comptroller Roche, contended
. that the board of park commissioners
| had no legal authority to condemn the
land for Carpenter park, because 1t al
ready belong to the city. The plat
4 used IN The condemnation proceedings
showed on its face that the city owns the
1 land. The act of the legislature giving
authority to the park board was not
. broad enough TO warrant the proceed
l ings of the board as taken in this ease.
Mr.. Bell also asserted that the comp
troller possessed the power to look into
the affairs of the city, TO inspect the
books of the treasurer, to supervise
their keeping. and in other ways to eX-
ercise a discretion as to the acts OF Off
GERS of the city. His duties were not
merely ministerial, such as a mayor or
CITY clerk could exercise. The law did
not ONLY provide that he can, but that 1t
was his obligatory duty 20 review anu
pass upon warrants presented for MS
Signature, and exercise discretion In
deciding upon their legality, and that OF
the actions of the board authorizing
their issue.
Gordon E. Cole, as attorney for the
park commission, also made an eX-
haustive argument. He cited Dumer-
Gus decisions based upon the theory
that the regularity or proper form OF
paptrS in the assessment of damages
and benefits could be examined into by
the comptroller: but he only acted as
ministerial officer, and if the papers
were regular III form he could not make
an inquiry into the matter as
as TO whether or not the
park commissioners had authority
for the action taken by 1t. or whether
the authority given it by law was eX-
ceeded. The authority OF Mi. Koche
could be no greater IN determining
whether or not he should sign the war-
rant than a judge or an election IN de-
Gliding as to signing a certificate of cleo
ton. The Judge of election could not
decide who was elected, neither could
the comptroller decide whether the BEN
etits or damages assessed by the board
were excessive or too little, it being a
matter for the parties themselves TO
seek remedy as provided by law. The
law provided that the park board, and
not the comptroller. shall decide upon
questions of assessment of benefits and
Injuries. If the warrant on its face
conforms TO the law, the comptroller
must sign it without questioning out
side facts. Judge Wilkin took the mat
Ter under adViSement.

Ogilvies Corner Wheat in th'

vie Milling company, the largest mill
ing organization in Canada, has secured
a corner OIL all the wheat in the pro-

of bushels. 1t is an open secret that the
firm secured pointer from the domin-
ion government that the duty on -four
would be increased in the pending SEES
sion from so cents to 81 per barrel. The
Ogilvies have large mills in the North
west and will manufacture all the grain.
Their deal cuts a lot of other milling
companies ont of sufficient grain to
keep them going, and in consequence
wheat has bounced up to so cents and
over in the country. The price paid by
Ogilvie was within cent Of what Du-
luth wheat at present prices could be
laid down here for. There is not within
