723 DEATHS IN TMENTy.FoUR DAYS

PITTsBURG, March 24.-FrOm a stree
joke the grippe has become generally
dangerous disease. The death-rate ha.
increased to a great extent and this month
will break the record by an alarming in.
crease of 30 per cent. Closing at noon
1853 deaths have occurred in Pittsburg
and Allegheny in the twenty-four days of
this month. Thirty-eight deaths have
been reported within the last twenty-four
hours, and many, no doubt, have not been
reported. The direct causes given on
certificates are the grippe, influenza,
pneumonia, typhoid, and diphtheria.
From the last-named disease one death
per day has occurred within the last
three weeks. In the two cities there
were fifty funerals Sunday, and there
were not One-half enough hearses to 90
around. Respectfully covered wagons
are used and carriages are daily at a pre-
MUM. In one large clearinghouse
twenty-three clerks are laid off with in
f~iuenza, which is daily growing more Sc
we're, and now numbers its victims some
where near the 5000 mark in the city
and suburbs. Physicians are overworked
and some have as high as fifty to sixty
cases of grippe per day.
1t is estimated that owe 1000 persons
are suffering with the grippe In towns
along the Fort Wayne road. In Belle
vue and West Bellevue over 200 cases
are reported some of which are of a very
serious nature. At Ellsworth and Hays
Ville there are over 100 cases. There are
also many cases in Sewickley and it IS |
estimated fully 300 people are confined
their homes. Reports from other towns
how results somewhat similar, though |
lone are so afflicted as this city.

A Big Corner in Wheat is Being

by a Combination Of
Capitalists.
Nothing Further Will be Done in the
New Orleans Matter Till
the Italian Minister is

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The war de

sation of hOstilities among the Indians o.

to the probabilities of another outbreak
This spring careful investigations have

bud rgencies and their reports are not al
together %reassuring. In substance these
Officers assert that there need, or need not
DE any treble, just as the government de-
sires. The outbreak can be prevented or
on the other hand a very little will fan
the slumbering feelings of the abor-
igines into fierce flames. That Is to say
the whole case rests with the appro-
priations. If the Indians get promptly all
that is due to them, and there is not too
much haggling there will be peace. But
the moment the government attempts to
pinch the Dakota tribes the hitherto
friendly Indians, who do not feel very
complacent over the late trips to Wash
ingtOn, will, it is predicted, surely revolt.
These Indians are at present in the ma
jority in the two Dakotas. as most of the
hostile chiefs have been taken by the In
dian show for a European trip, and the
remaining hOstiles are thus short of lead
ers. They realize perfectly we'll that the
chiefs are not held as hostages, but have
gone as a matter of enterprise, and so
they would not necessarily be deferred
from an outbreak through a fear of re-
taliation on their fellows. These absent
chiefs, however, are perhaps the worst
fighters of the nation. Among them Is
Lean Bull, who has a reputation of being
one of the most dangerous Indians in
America, as we'll as one of the most afro.
ciOus. His absence would be a great
help to the government.
WASHINGTON, March PA gentleman
this city has received a letter from a
friend at Pine Ridge, S. d., commenting
the state of the feeling existing among
Indians at that agency. The writer
Is not an official of the government, but
Is said he is in a position to know
whereof he speaks. He writes in effect
that there is a great deal of dissatisfac-
ton among the Indians as a result of the |
late trouble. Many of them have lost |
much of their stock and means for sus-
1t and In some cases their |
houses have been destroy cd. This, IN
connection with deep SHOWS and a hard

the writer expresses the belief that it |
will be rather difficult for them to get |
till the snow is gone without
help. These misfortunes, he says, fall on

GIGANTIC WHEAT CORNER.
Capitalist Combine to Force up the Price
of Bread Stun.

SOniDIu0 10 EOrCo uD the Pric0
of Bread STUFF.
CHICAGO, March 24.-An afternoon pa-
per says there have been rumors on the
board of trade for two or three months
to the effect that a corner is being worked
in May wheat. the corner having begun
to buy up wheat when the price was
about 93 or "a cents, but that the deal has
been so quietly and so scientifically
worked, If there is one, that 1t has been
absolutely impossible to determine the
fact or the names of the persons con-
nected with 1t. Rumors ~variously
pointed to a combination of New York
and Chicago, and a clique in charge of
Chicagoans exclusively. 1t is ascertained,
so at least it is claimed, that many of the
buying orders come from New York,
and chiefly through commission houses
here connected by private wire with Wall
street. The purchase of the manjpu.
lators' paper continues, and must now be
high up in the millions. for it is a well
known fact that st. Lous, the northwest
and heavy local spectators as well, have
a shortage which probably aggregates
from thirty to forty million bushels.
Now, if the clique holds one-half of
this and the intention, according to the
theory of the programme, is to work
prices up to $1.25 at least at which price
the profit would aggregate over IS, OO6 1000. |
Despite the denlals of those who are al |
legged to be interested, the idea has grown
general that the wheat market is being ,
Manipulated. 1t is the impression, too,
that the gentlemen behind the deal and
those who are conducting it for them un-
their business thoroughly, and
neither principals nor brokers are
troubled for lack of ready cash,

ST. PAUL, March 25.-The house com.
mittee investigating the state prison man.
agement made a very voluminous report
today. 1t is in three parts, the first civ.
ing a history of the contract convict labor
system, the second detailing the purcbas.
OF binding-twine machinery for prison
use' and the third discussing the alleged.
compulsory resignation of Warden J.. J.
Randall, who died this morning in tbi,
city. The history of the contract ~systeul
goes back ten Years, describes various
contracts, explains the workings of the
system, and gives some inside working.
OF companies securing contracts. Il
states that by letting out convict labor at
a low figure and paying out big prices
Ior work to companies employing sa3
convicts the state was the cause of BIZ
expense where little or none should have
been incurred. The committee finds tina,
in this way the state paid in ten years
100000 more than it received from con.
tractors who had secured the convict la.
Dor. The report gives copies of letters
OF companies employing convict labor in
which they speak of getting such labor
for "merely a nominal price," and de.
scribes how they have arranged matters
to prevent the possibility of n other 90.
curing convict labor. In discussinp ths
olndlng-twine matter crooked methods
are alleged against those securing ma.
chinery for the penitentiary. As to the
removal OF Warden Randall the commit.
Tee believes 1t was brought about at the
instance OF convict employing manufact.
urers who wanted to make appointments
