oAUaHr LONG on WHEAT.
A Clique OF Capitalists Trying to
Quietly Unload.

Quietly Unload.
CHICAGO, March 25.-A morning paper
gives the following as the cause of the
present excitemsntlin the wheat market
here THAT thereare a number Of wealthy
men who are largely interested in May
wheat there can be no doubt, but their
interest consists in letting 60 in a graceful
way OF their present holdings II they are
buyers from now on IL will simply be to run
up prices so they can sell at higher figures.
These men have been long on May wheat
and In the present state of the market they
would like to dispose of all their holdings.
THE BUYING.
"Early in October q number of brokers
acting for these millionaires began buying
December wheat, and so successful were
they, that before the end OF the month their
holdings ran way up into millions of bushels.
Then the financial panic came on and 1t was
found impossible to sell, so they had to carry
it over to May. Yesterday was the first time
these holders could see daylight. This was
the cause Of heavy sales.
PLENTY ON HAND YET.
"They have by no means gotten rid Of all
their holdings. and it is probable that the
market will be- allowed TO get back to its
normal condition before any more is sold.
They are desirous Of creating the impression
that an attempt is beng made TO corner
May wheat, and when prices revive suRi-
ciently they will let the remainder of their
holdings 90. II necessary, they may appear
in the role of buyers

A CATTLE TRAIN RUN DOWN.
Six Cars Full of Live stock Tossed
From the Track.

From the Track.
OMAHA. NEB., March 25.-A special to
the Bee from Sutton, Neb., says: "The
flyer on the Burlington road crashed into
the rear end of a stock train four miles east
of town at 7:30 o'clock this morning while
running at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
1t was showing hard at the time and
the flyer and two engines were pushing
snow plow. The stock train was not
seen by the engineer of the passenger
train until the trains were twenty feet
apart The snow plow ran under six cars
loaded with cattle, throwing them TO the
right and left of the track, and the seventh
car landed on top of the engine. The sec
ond engine was thrown twenty-five feet to
the side of the track and fell on its side
crushing and instantly killing Engineer
Roberts of Plattsmouth.
COOKED BY ESCAPING STEAM.
Henry Adell, his fireman, was caught in
the wreck and,the escaping steam literally
cooked his legs, arms and back, The pas
senger coaches left the track but were not
overturned, and none of the passengers were
injured. It is said that the cause of the &C
cident was, the wrong order given by a
train dispatcher. The cattle in the car
which landed on top Of the engine were re-
leased by the passengers, who built bridge
twenty five feet long and drove the animals
down. Only one steer was hurt.

LANGST0N AND MALONE.
THE TWO ENEMIES SAID I'd HAVE
BECOME RECoNCLED.

Langston Agrees to Make up Only on
Condition That the Color Line in the
Republican Party is to be Absolutely
Abolished-A Harrison Delegation
from Virginia.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The Star to-
night publishes a column story to the effect
that complete reconciliation between Ma
hone and Laugston has been brought about
through tho intervention Of ex-Congress-
man Waddell, from which the following
extracts are made:
This was their first greeting since the preSi-
DENTAL campaign OF 1883, and it was just trihe
formal at first. The genera, as the Star re-
porter was informed was very punctillous
however. in his reception OF Langston, who was
dignifed and cautious. For three hours they
travelled up and down the lin5 OF Virzinfa
politics, discussed the records OF the past, made
mutual explanations and promises, and calcu-
lated as to the next campaign, gradually
warming up TO each other until at the end OF
the conference they had become faster friends
than ever, and had formulated soma of the
features OF the campaign.
LANasToN's ULTIMATUM
IL was a memorable interview Langston
repeatedly made this assertion Of the platform
or his compromises Il shall Join you as a repub-
llcan, and as such shall do my best to promote
the interest Of the party. l shall work for you
and your success just as long as you help me,
but remember this Is TO continue Just 50 long as
you treat me as a republican. The moment
you oppose me in the least because my hair is
curly, or because am black | shall turn aroun1
and fight you TO the bitter end shall fight any
republican on the color line. but when that is
obliterated can fight with him"
MAHoNE's PROMISE
Malone replied that he appreciated the situa-
tion that henceforth there should be no part-
tion Of the party on the line OF complexions
With this understanding the ex-enemlss shook
hands.
A HARRISON DELEGATION.
II is understood that this means the sending
OF Virginia delegation to the next presidential
convention instructed for President Harrison.
No one, however, cares TO 20 80 far as to pre-
dict this without reservation. 1t is not known
whether the President had any haud IN the
effort TO bring about a compromise between the
factions, but it IL asserted that be has quietly
removed several obstacles TO this result within
the past two months, AMI has done much TO
relieve the pressure in the state.
The New York World says to-day that
the movement TO secure one OF the new cir
cult court judgeships for coIored man is
made in the interest Of Laugston and that
Langston in his candidacy relies for sue
cess In some measure upon the white ro-
publicans Of Virginia.

CHICAMACOMICO'S WRECK
ruE LOST VESSEL THE BRITISH
6TRAITHAIRLY.

o-Iv Seven OF Her Crew of Twenty
Sly Men Saved-A Break in the Gov
ernment Gable Cuts OF Commurica-
+,on-The Coast in the Vicinity of the
wreck Desolate in the Extreme.
NORFOLK, March 25.-The steamer which
want ashore a mile below the Chicamicomieo
Ife.saving station on the North Carolina
coast. Yesterday morning, is the British
steamship Straithairly. bound from San
,iooo de- Cuba to Baltimore with iron ore
01,t of a crew of twenty-six, nineteen were
Iosr including ali the officers except the
second mate. The steamer will be a total
loss.
II is difficult to imagine a more desolate
coast than that upon which the Striathairly
wss wrecked For 100 miles south from
Cane Henry there extends strip Of sand
cast M from the sea, and separated from
the mainland bv many miles of broad salt
sounds Sometimes this strip broedens to a
few miles. and then shrinks to a mere thread
of gray sand, The Inhabitants are few in
number, scattered in solitary dwellings
and witnout means of communication with
the world save by the occasional oyster
sloop or fishing boat that at irregular inter
walls cruise along the sounds.
HOW THEY LIVE.
Their living is derived from the sea, and
the strip is nearly barren of vegetation. On
the sea side long sand bars run out SO that a
vessel wrecked upon this coast is sure to
strike at distance from the shore and b3
speedily torn to pieces by the tremendous
Hatteras swell that has made the vicinity
the dread of the navigators for a century
l, -t,, xvbifa hpoab with he
tlmbers Of numberless vessels and countless
sailors.
THE LIFE-SAvING SERVICE.
The hfe-saving service is of the best in the
country, but owing to the character of the
coast the most useful of their appliances,
life line thrown from gun, can rarely be
used and the crews are compelled to rely
largely upon their surf boats, which they
manage to launch and land with marvellous
daxterity in the fierce surf, which con-
s.antly rolls upon the beaches and bars.
A BREAK IN THE CABLE.
Communication between this city and the
scene of the wreck of the steamer
Straithalrly at the Chicamacomico life
saving station is interrupted by break in
the government telegraph cable across Ore
gon inlet This is an arm of the sea about
three miles across, just south of Kittyhawk.
All information from the wreck has to be
brought across this break in , a
boat, and only two trips are
made daily, and only when the weather
permits. The last trip was made this
morning and all of the available facts have
already been sent No further information
will be received until tomorrow morning.
when it is thought the names of the lost and
saved will be secured. An order has been
sent from the agents of the line in Balti-
more to forward those of the crew who
we're saved to that city. and they are ex,
pected to arrive here the last of this week,
when the full story of the wreck and its
causes may be gotten from the second mate
who Is among the seven who we're saved.

will cause the governments forming the
triple alliance to be made aware of the main
feat ures OF the compact entered into between
Russia and France. Whether the Russian
