AN INEVITABLE DECLINE.
Copious Rains GLADDEN. the Heart of the
Farmer, but Depress the Spirit of the
Bull Speculator Correspondingly-Other
Grains Take Their Cue From Wheat

CHICAGO-There was a slight but obsti-
nate decline in the wheat market from the
opening to the close to-day, and the most
herculean efforts to brace up prices were
effectual only in securing temporary rallies
which were quickly dissipated by the sue
ceeding rush OF sales. To-day's decline
however, was 3 logical one and was caused
by what is gladdening the heart of every
American farmer-general rains throughout
the great wheat belt and continued mild
weather. The drop to-day would have come
yesterday hut for the reports of cold wealth
er indications.
To-day's opening found the cables quite as
strong as yesterday. but the Chicago trader
failed to take his inspiration from Liverpool
and Berlin markets, and the cold wave scare
having subsided the inevitable decline
came. Subsequently cables weakened
doubtless on reports of the decline in Ameri-
can markets, and the amounts of wheat and
-four on ocean passage showing increase of
9S4, $50 bushels, contributed Also somewhat
To the decline. New York was a free seller
FROM the start.
yesterdays close, and with only slight
fluctuations declined rlc more then re-
recovered slightly, again ruled easy and the
closing was about ls4@2c lower than yes
terday.
Corn opened strong and higher. the bull
clique evidently bidding the market in
OrueT 10 unlOau. Dub Wuen Cney ATTEMPTED
TO do so there was quick collapse and a drop
of 16@lc with but little subsequent recov-
cry. November corn, which yesterday
closed at 5t7Sc opened this morning any
where from $50 655slc, but by noon had re
ceded to 54szc. Year corn, which had sold
in the opening scramble at 4sG4s1Sc, declined
in the same time to 47c, and May from 45lLc
early sold Off to 4f4c. The weakest price of
the market was toward the close of the ses-
sion. November sold as low as SIC and closed
a: that Year and December declined to 4615c
leaving of at the lowest point. and May
touched 453sGI4554c and closed l5Slc bid.
Oats opened firm and &c higher at 3i3zc
for November and S35zc for Nav, these being
the high prices for the day. There was con-
siderable realizing and November sold off
to BIC, closing sc lower at that figure, while
MAY, after several ups and downs, reached
bottom at 325zc, that being the closing price.

NO POLICE INTERFERENCE.
The Dempsey -Fitzsimmons Fight VIII
Come on as Scheduled.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. l4.-The state au-
thorities have reluctantly arrived at the
conclusion that they have no warrant for
interfering with the Dempsey Fitzsim-
mons match tonight After his confer
ence with Governor Nichols, Attorney
General Rogers went through the statutes
and finally rendered an opinion that under
the most recent law the Olympic club
people had a clear right to 90 ahead. The
governor then directed Rogers TO present
the matter to Mayor Shakespeare, who is
sick in bed, but the latter also said that he
could do nothing unless the affair assumed
the features of a slugging match in which
event the police would break into the ring
and compel the combatants to 70 to their
rooms.
Dempsey will see his opponent for the
first time when he enters the ring. He
has been very anxious to size him up and
take a mental photograph Of his move
ment and shape, but the Australian is
willy and does not propose to give the
Nonpareil any points in advance. Bitz-
simmons will reach here barely in time TO
20 to the amphitheatre A Denver man
who stopped over at his training quarters
last night says that he is in as fine form as
he has ever been in his life, and that there
need be no mistake about his condition.
He is awkwardly built, and the muscles
and flesh on his body are queerly distrib-
uted, but he will make fine showing in
the ring His legs look larger than they
did some months ago, and while he i
knock-kneed and slender below, he is
great above the hips. The muscles Of his
back stand out prominently and his arms
are large and muscular and we'll curved.
Fitzsimmons is in condition to take a
tremendous amount Of punishment and
yet come up smiling. Financially the af-
fair is already a success all the fifty boxes
have been sold at 500 each, and OF the
1000 seats two-thrds have been taken. A
theory Endorsement Of Dempsey by Sulli-
van telegraphed here has sent up the Non
pareil's stock, and the betting is active at
100 TO 80 in his favor The amounts, how
ever, are not phenomenally large The
arrivals today were numerous, and includ-
ed Kilrain, Muldoon, Mike Cleary, George
Slosson, Billy Edwards, the retired light
weight and Steve Brodie, the bridge
Jumper.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.-No surprise was
created in diplomatic circles here by the
reported revolt of the Chilian navy against
the government For some time past
more or less trouble has existed between
President Balamaceda aud his people. So
great has been the breach between the
president and citizens that recently the
Chilian congress was convened in special
session without order or sanction OF the
president, the Legislators acting on the
call Of commission extraordinary," {"
which had been appointed to adjust certain
governmental matters. Diplomates hera

CHICAGO, Jan. 14-What is said to be
the heaviest damage suit ever begun in
federal courts has been brought by Will

V. Farwell, Charles B. Farwell and Abner
Taylor, the amount sought being placed
at s., 900. According to the attorney
for Mr.. Sturges, the present suit is based
on a claim for six years services in ne
gotiating bonds for the defendants to con-
struct the Texas state capitol Tho
Farwells and Congressman Taylor en-
tered into a contract in 1881 to build
the Texas state house, and in considera-

defendants filed an answer denying ali the

CRAB ORCHARD, Ky, Jan. 14-Henry
Mullins, aged 10, was shot and killed last
night by his mother near here. A few days
ago a relative Of the woman went to Dan
vile, leaving little 3-year-old child with
her to raise. Last night Henry, coming
back from town in rollicking mood,
snatched up the child and began pitching
it up in his arms. This angered his moth
er, who told him to stop or she would kill
him, but he went on with his oapers The
woman reached for an old army pistol,
aimed at the boy and shot him through
the breast, killing him almost instantly.
After the unnatural deed was done she
seemed to comprehend its enormity and
tried to drown herself.

ASHLAND, Pa, Jan. Awhile a Read

Saeger, Smith and Bolich were killed
outright, and Humph was so badly in

The Supreme Court VIII Probably DeoIda
Against Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The effort OF tho
British government, through counsel for
Canadian officials, to bring the Behring
sea controversy before the supreme court
of the United States is the chief topic Of
conversation here in diplomatic and Off
cial circles. IL is apparent that the ad-
ministration is but little disturbed over
the alleged flank movement on the part Of
the British or Canadian lawyers. AS it
stands now it is simply this;
The petitioners have asked the supreme
court to take hold OF a case involving dis.
puted international questions and treaty
rights. Attorney General Miller promptly
objected to the introduction of the motion
on the grounds that the supreme court had
no jurisdiction in the case at ISSUE which
originated in the district court OF Alaska;
that the case sought to DO introduced was
political case, without legal aspects, and
had no place in the supreme court
He also held that it was unconstitutional
for the supreme court TO administer upon
matters belonging TO an executive depart
ment.
The court at once denied the right Of the
petitioners to make their motion, but set
a day two weeks hence when the question
of admitting the motion will be argued.
Attorney General Miller declined to talk
about the matter, merely dismissing all
interviewers with the remark that it was
not a good plan to practice law in the
newspapers, and assuring them that he
would have enough to say about the mat
ter in a fortnight, when he should make
his argument before the supreme court.
Friends OF the administration say they
have no doubt the court will, after hear.
ing arguments, reassert its conclusion OF
yesterday, aud decline to become a board
of arbitration for the settlement Of the
vexatious Behring sea matter-a political
question already under negotiation be.
