LEADS THE WORLD.
Minneapolis the Wheat Market
Chamber of Commerce Annual.


At the annual meeting of the cham
Der of commerce it was the concensus
of opinion that the organization had
outgrown the present quarters and that
an extension must be provided in the
near future. The plan of adding story
to the structure was suggested, the
whole floor to be used by the board and
the secretary's Office. Then the present
chamber could be converted into Of
fees. President Greenleaf delivered
his annual address, in which he re-
viewed at great length the year
of phenominal prosperity in wheat
growing just closed. He tier
in ST. Louis were 1858, 600; Duluth,
17.12l, ,093; Chicago, 24,707, 100; New
York, %, 1851; Minneapolis, 51.7O4,-
055. These receipts have never been
equaled in one year by any city, and al
most equal the combined receipts of
any two or more mentioned, and fully
substantiate our claim to the largest
wheat market Of the world. The ship
mentS Of wheat were 1924, los bushels,
and flour, 7,060,3 barrels. The exports
of flour from this country exceeded
those of any year during the past
twenty-five. The total value of the ex-
pOl 10 vi llOul CASCOQCu Vic fdluO VI lHC
wheat by over Sl1,000,00O. Until the
year 1SSS.S9 the value of wheat exported
far exceeded that of flour. Were it
practicable to manufacture all the
wheat into -four before exporting. it is
easy to estimate the immense benefit
this country would derive, and we
should not depend upon foreign coun-
tries to regulate the price of wheat"
1t was shown that there had been
great increase in active membership
and the treasurer's books indicated "a
balance in the sinking fund of S53, 900,
and in the treasury s7,S096S. Since the
report was filed we have added to the
sinking fund $4,000, and still have
balance of over $4,000 in the treasury.
Our bonds of 100000 do not mature
until 1894, and before July of this year
we shall have the entire amount in the
sinking fund"
After speaking in sanguine tone of
the prospects for the coming year these
committees were announced:

MINNEAPOLIS.
TIMELY COMMENT.

The tribune is overanXious to place
political construction upon any un-
pleasantness or strife that may arise in
the administration of the affairs of the
city. The park board investigation,
brought about through charges of nepo-
tism preferred by the journal, is eagerly
seized as a choice morsel of partisan
scandal. "Supt. Berry will be retired,
even if 1T is shown that he has dis
charged his duties faithfully" eXclaimS
the morning exponent of Republican
theories. 1.-The Democratic members of
the board are quietly stirring up the
row and enjoying 1t. but at the proper
time. and with little Republican help,
he will be let out and Democrat
elected to his place." Indeed! Wouldn't
1t have been wiser had the Tribune first
informed itself upon the political prIn-
ciples espoused by Supt. Berry? 1t
would not have cost much of all effort
to have learned that Mr.. Berry is
Democrat.
The shabby condition of the pave
ments along many of the principal thor
Oughfares is serious commentary upon
the efficiency of the council. Where
the heavier traffic is handled, there the
paving naturally is the worst. The cedar
blocks along those streets that were
paved half dozen years ago cry out for
relief in their decrepit old age. Repair
is word that has been lost from the
administration lexicon, it would seem.
Where there is a dilapidated paving it
Is impossible for the street-sweeper to
do good service, and the consequence is
the streets are eXecrably dirty. as well
as shabby. Sidewalks. too, deserve
closer attention.
The Hall-Nichols controversy has
humorous tinge. They meet nightly in
Joint debate TO discuss the theory of
spiritualism, and the logic employed
proves highly amusing to the little
crowd that assemblies in the Labor
temple to listen to the harangue.

A PLACE OF TRAGEDIES.
Constantinople and Its Mysterious
Crimes.


New York Recorder.
ConStantinople is the place par ex-
cellence for mysterious tragedies, and
incredible as it may appear at the close
OF this matter-Of-fact and nineteenth
century, great men of European repu-
tatlon are put out of the world almost
every day without attracting any un-
usual attention. The last victim has
been Ali Saib Pasha, minister of war,
who the day before his death had long
Interview with the Sultan. partaking of
several cups of coffee at the palace. A
Jew hours later he was found corpse
at his own house. Some say that it was
case of suicide, but the latter is
crime which is absolutely repulsive to
every true believer in the Prophet.
Others again say that he died Of heart
disease. while the majority allege that
his death was due either to cup of
coffee or bowString. He is but one of
number OF prominent statesmen who
have thus come to an untimely end.
10 this day no one knows what has
become of Midhat Pasha, at one time
prime minister, and famed throughout
Europe as the most enlightened of
Oriental statesmen. The last heard of
him was that he had died an exile at

the present condition both of the eX-
Khedive Ismail of Egypt and the ex-
Sultan Murad. The death of both has
frequently been rumored throughout
the city, while if they are alive their
fate is but little better. for they are
close prisoners in the palaces which
have been allotted to them.
Grave doubt exists as to whether
Murad has ever been seriously insane,
and 1t is pOpularly believed that he was
merely declared demented and incapa-
bic of governing, because the Sheik III
Islam, together with the Softas, were
convinced that he was about to inaug-
urate all kinds of Western reforms.
The present sultan'S tenure of
the throne depends entirely OIL
the mental condition of his prede-
cessor. For If the Sheik III Islam were
to declare tomorrow that Murad had re-
covered his senses, Abdul Hamid's
prestige and authority, both spiritual
and temporal, would be at an end. I'm

FATALLY BURNED.
A Gasoline Stove ExpIodes With
Usual Results.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon
gasoline stove exploded in the kitchen
of the basement restaurant, 81 Bridge
square, owned by James Peterson. The
cook. Annie Matson, who was standing
near IL at the time, was badly burned.
Another girl was engaged in filling the
stove with gasoline. Miss Matson
rushed out the back door in flames.
Two boys, Frank Burns and Hugh Ben
nett, heard the screams, and jumped
over the fence to her assistance. They
whipped out their pocketknives and
commenced cutting her clothes off
while she lay on the ground. They
ripped the dress and even the saturated
and blazing stockings from her person.
DIR. Kelly was called, and found that
she was dangerously burned. The pa
troll wagon took her to the city hospital.
At late hour last night it was an
nounced that she would not live until

THE LAKE CITY MYSTERY.
Detective Rice's Vigilance Is
Never Daunted by Failure.

Never Daunted by Failure.
Again the body of Fred B. Matthews
has not been found. A few days ago
body was found at Lake City and De-
tective Rice visited the place to iden-
tify, if possible, the corpse. He did not
exhume it. but is willing to do so.
There were lot Of articles found upon
the body consisting of clothing, razor.
shoe brush and blackiug. none of which
correspond with the outfit with which
Matthews disappeared. A lady named
Mrs. Stanton, at Lake City, her daugh-
ter and daughter-in-law, were consider
ably excited last May by man appar-
emily seventy-five years Of age who ap-
peared among them with two bundles
containing wearing apparel and other
articles. who acted in a peculiar
manner, and then took his leave
and has not been seen since.
One of them identified a photograph Of
Matthews as that of the strange man;
the other two were not positive as to
that. Detective Rice believes that GER
tain persons are seeking to discourage
any effort to discover the missing mans
whereabouts, but shrewdly refrains
from assigning any cause for such con-
duct. He will visit Lake City again in
few days, add proposes to unearth the
cadayer and the mystery.

QUEBEC SCANDALS,
The Government Connected With
Bribery

QUEBEC, Oct. 15.-Nothing is talked
of here but the royal commission. While
speculations as to the probable outcome
are numerous, the impression that the
lieutenant governor is going to turn out
the ministry is gaining ground, and a
general election is confidently talked of.
In fact Chile Carrier and other MEM
bers of the legislature Will soon leave
for their respective cities to prepare for
the election. Armstrong, the railroad
contractor, was again on the stand this
morning and created sensation. He
admitted having indorsed checks to
Pacaud and said that the arrangement
TO pay Pacaud 100000 was made In
New York, and that the reason he made
it was because Pacaud had great influ-
ence with the government. Armstrong
also testified that Pacaud told him he
had to account for 100000 to Mercier.
This directly connects the Quebec gov
ernment with the transaction.

A. j. Carlson, a middle-aged man,
while walking across the Milwaukee
railroad track at Twelfth avenue and
Fourth street south, fell PROSTATE to

SETTLES FOR HALF.
Whites Creditors Accept Fifty
Cents on the Dollar.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The Chicago
creditors of S. V. White to-day accepted
his proposition to pay 80 cents on the
dollar. The committee appointed to in
vestigate the receivers statement re-
portet that it was correct, and the terms
were unanimously accepted.
Although there were no dissenting
votes at the meeting it is understood
that several of the creditors will stand
out for the face value of their accounts.
The report developed the fact that if the
Chicago house of S. V. White d Co. had
done its banking in this city independent
of the New York end the creditors here
would get 100 cents on the dollar.
