Wheat Opened . Shade Higher but Gave
Way tn Bearish News.
CHICAGO, July 15.-Wheat opened q
shade higher than it closed yesterday, in
sympathy with the strength in corn, but
the appreciation was quickly lost under
the influence of the besrish news of the
day. The most potent piece of news was
IN unconfirmee Paris cable which quoted
wheat In that market demorallzed and the
equivalent to 712c per bu lower. Tho I'M
derstanding on the board was that. earlier
in the season. when the outlook for the
French wheat crop was at its worst. French
spectators had loaded mp with futures
high prices; so that the subsequent better
outlook there and the evidences of bOun-
tiful and tine crop In this country given by
the recent receipts OF new wheat. together
with the recent reduction of the French inn
port duty. had convinced these speculative
holders that their expectations of high
prices could not be realized and that they
had therefore decided to accept their losses
and had thrown their holdings overheard.

weather was favorable for harvesting. All
of this could have only one result-a de-

load of offerings. There was some reaction
later. on purchases by shorts to take
profits. but it was not q substantial adj
vance. and when corn broke later in the
day another wave of weakness swept over
the wheat pit, carrying prices to even
lower figures than before. Estimates of

Anarchist Convention in Texas.

ST. LOUIS, July 2s.-The Farmers Alliance
and Knights OF Labor of the Third and Fourth
congressional districts of Texas are holding an
encampment at Sulphur Springs which will
continue through the week. Among the promi-
nent persons present are Senator Pfefer, of Kan
sas, and Powers, president of the Indiana AL
lance. The speeches far all favor the Peo-
pies party movement, and some are of quite an
intemperate character. L. P. Holds, of Van
Zandt county, predicted a revolution in the
event that relief fails through the ballot, and
said that John Brown had succeeded Lloyd Gar
rison: that the people intend to break the reign
of plutocraey, "peaceably if they can, forcibly
If they must"
President Powers, of Indiana, said he had
looked across a gun barrel at the South not
many years ago. but he was here now to take
them by the hand in q fight to the death against
the two old parties, who were two old dogs trot-
ting in the same path. There had been bloody
chasm between the North and the South for
twenty-five years, but the people would Ill that
chasm with dead politics and wipe out mon
opoly and plutocracy and restore the govern
ment to the people. The exception written
across the greenback he held in his hand de
stroyed the sovereignty of the people. The
evils aggregated when exception was made
against the silver dollar.
The speaker showed a map illustrating the
national banks by which the people could not
approach the treasury, and showing the banker
in 1sS6, receiving 100000 from Treasurer Hop
per. He also had map showing q see-saw on
the backs of two farmers on all fours and Re-
publican and Democrat on either end. He had
still another map, representing the farmers
reversing the operation. Every slur on the
Democracy was cheered, but no sympathy was
manifested over his structures OF Ingalls,, Sher-
man and the Republican party.

PARIS, July 2e-The Chilean congressional
party have issued statement TO the effect that
the election of Vicuua as president OF Chile
IS null and void for several reasons; because, as
president OF the cabinet he organized a coup
detat in January last, thus violating the consti-
ttution; because the election was not carried
out in conformity with the law relating TO cleo
uons; beeanse only part OF the country voted,
and because the election occurred during sus-

WASHINGTON CITY, July 29.-The Chilean con-
gressional ENJOYS emphatically deny the reports
from Santiago TO the effect that thousands of
soldiers of the congressional army AZ lquique
refused to leave there when ordered TO africa
because they had received no pay. The
soldiers OF Iquique, they say, are vol
unteers, but aside from this fact the
government has plenty of money with which to
pay them. Bslmaceda, they affirm, sought to
negotiate a loan in Europe and also in the
United states, but was unsuccessful. The gov
ernment OF Balmaceda, they assert, has made no
progress since the commencement of the revolu-
tion, and each month since ii began has expert
eneed losses, which the envoys say, have
been as follows: In January, the
navy; In February, the province of
Iarapaca; in March, the province OF Antafogas-
Ia; In April. the province of TRcna; in May, the
province OF Ataeams; in June, the Lobos guano
islands, and during the present month, the val
ley of Huasco. Balmaceda has not, the envoys
insist. been able to recover any of the losses
which his government has sustained.

SEDRo, July 29.-The examination of J.

with the murder of George w. Poor, was
concluded at noon today, Justice Terry
dismissing them on the ground of insuffi-

Interest in the examination began to
manifest itself early in the morning. Long

parties arrived, the courtroom was filling
up with men, while a number of ladies
were also present. Nobody knew what
the result would be, but change could be
seen in the sentiment, and il was notice.

good work among the men. The first wit
ness examined was the defendant Baird
himself. He had taken off the bandage
from around his head and had put on a
piece of sticking plaster about two inches
long and half inch wide. He had also
taken the roll out of the bottom of his
trousers, and looked altogether much more
respectable and less worried than he had
before since the shooting.
