leaving was because he knew that there

Superintendent Potter denies the
story. He says there is physician con

there is no sickness of any kind. He
thinks the smallpox story started with
vyorkmen whom he overheard saying that
two men had died of smallpox and that
they had been buried in the mill yard.

Amer Grain Gamblers.

Senate. Y. ID. Wpshburn, the author
of the opttsa bill introduced by him In
the Senat. last month, in an interview
In Chicago the other day, said: Il have
just finished reading the interview with
Mr.. CounSelman In which that gentle
man sevely criticisee the bill introduced
by me to prevent grain gambling. am
not surprised at that gentleman's hos
tility nor at all disturbed by the sar-
castle reference to my philanthropy in
the premises, for any effort directed
toward curtailment of the great evil
known as short selling can be expected
TO call down the wrath of all dealers in
illegitimate or fiat grain. But Mr..
Counselman wholly misunderstands the
situation when he assumes that this bill
is put forth as perfect bill in all its de-
tails. recognize the extreme difficulty
In drawing the line between what is
hurtful and what is helpful to the pro-
ducer, and introduced 1t early to draw
out criticism and suggestions from all
quarters. already see places that 1
think are weak, and before the discus
sion is over may see other places that
should be improved.
The future selling of real grain Is
perfectly legitimate, and should not be
interfered with. In fact, to prevent a
man from contracting his grain for fu-
ture delivery would be ruinous in its ef-
fects on the producer, and no one is
seeking to encompass that.
What want to do, said the Senator,
"is to stop this thoroughly pernicious
and demoralizing practice known in
gambling parlance as short selling,
where a man can go on the board with
out kernel Of grain, either real or
prospective, and sell millions of BUSH
els, thus depressing the market the
same as il so much real grain had been
dumped on. Why, Mr.. Pillsbury, the
largest buyer of real wheat in the
world, tells me that there are men in
Minneapolis with their Offices in their
hats who sell more wheat in a year than
he buys, and that there are days in Chi
cago when men sell more than he will
buy In whole year, and yet these men
have the audacity to claim they are
helping the market.
Referring to a meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce at Minneapolis for a
conference with the Senator, Senator
Washburn said:
~Of course the Board of Trade folks
up there occupy the same position as
does the Chicago Board, they claiming
to believe that the bill means the utter
demolition of trading in futures, but
they will find their mistake when the
bill formally becomes law and goes
into effect. 1 was especially surprised
at the statement made then by Prcei-
dent Sawyer, of the Sawyer Elevator
Company, when he said that not over 10
per cent. of the sales made on the boards
of trade in the country were of the
gambling character. / had not the data
with me, but find on looking the mat
ter up that quite different state of
affairs exists. No board furnishes any
data to make a comparison from except
the New York Board, which is small
compared with the Chicago Board, but
even then the figures are startling
Here is very interesting table that
/ came across the other day. 1t shows
that during ten days of the summer of
1890 the real and bogus sales of wheat
were as follows:

THE facts are that during the days
named, for each bushel of wheat
sold, New York market-yreckers sold
372 bushels of fiat grain, and that it
would require but thirty-six days for
them to sell options equal.ng in amount
an average wheat crop.
An expert, writing on the subject,
says: 1T is not unusual for as much
fiat wheat to be sold in day as there is
Of actual grain received In year. For
Instance: On the 18th of April, 1890,
New York spectators sold 100000
bushels of fiat wheat, probably more
than twice as much as reached that city
dnring the year. While the Offerings"
in single day, at either Chicago or New
York, are said to often exceed 800, ,000,-
600 bushels, such offerings having the
intended effect of depressing prices"
What would wheat have been worth
had 1t not been for the board of trade
methodist"
We'll, 1 think that every bushel would
be worth 20 cents more to-day. In fact,
all Europe is astonished that 1t is get
ting our wheat to-day for the ridiculous
ly low price considering all the circum-
stances. They expected to pay more,
and 1t Is an outrage upon the producer
that he should thus be sacrificed to the
relentless greed and disrcputable deals
of the short seller on ou- Boards Of
Trade. Yes, sir, in my opinion, some
kind of relief will be granted our pro-
ducers In restrictive law that will pre-
serve all the good features In future
dealings and eliminate the bad. BY TAX
ing up this question, and drawing In the
views from all sides, a great service
will be rendered to the people of the
Northwest. What we want is intelli-
gent, honest investigation, and some
thing good will come out OF It,"

tHucE PLOT IN MEXICO.
The Church Party Implicated In n Co
snfracv In Overfh ROW the Governmenf

The Church Party Implicated In a Con-
spiracy 10 Overthrow the Governments.
Advices from Monterey, Mexico, say:
The excitement here over the revolu-
tionary movement against President
Diaz, inaugurated by Catarino Cara, is
on the increase. 1t has been learned
here from an authoritative source that
there is to be general uprising of what
is known as the church party throughout
Mexico in supporter revolution within
the next four weeks. 1t is also learned
from the same source that the recent
visit of Catarino .Garza to the City of
Mexico was made for the purpose Of
comforting with leading officials in the
church.
II beginning his movement last Sep
tember Cara had no funds with which
to carry it on successfully, and he de-
pended solely upon the sympathy of the
oppressed people in Northern Mexico to
augment his resources. 1t is believed
hereythdt he would have been successful
at that time had his attack upon Guerrero
and Melr resulted differently. The rev.
'olutionists were, however, scattered,
and Cara sought refuge in the mount
aims of Tamaulipas. While still in hid
ing he received a summonsfFom a prom
inent and wealthy Catholic citizen of
the City of Mexico to come to the cap
ital mcognito, and he would be given
funds to carry ON the campaign in the
northern part of the republic, while u
plan of campaign would be mapped olFt
for the people of the Southern States.
Cara answered the call and was we'll
received by the instigator of the church
peoples movement, who, In addition
to supplying CARA with considerable
amount of money, caused secret appeal
for aid of the revolution to be sent to ali
faithful and devout Catholics In the ne
public. Numerous copies Of this procla-
nation have been discovered here, and
are In the hands of the Government.
As a result of this understanding
President Diaz has increased his vigil
ance and priests are being quietly ar
rested upon trivial charges in all parts
OF Mexico and sent to jail, from which
not many of them will escape alive.
The belief Is growing here that
Garza's operations along the Rio
GTande frontier was intended as a blind
TO draw the Mexican troops to that quar-
ter, when the real leader and an army OF
revolutiunists will appear in either the
State OF chihuahua or Durango and adj
vance on the City of Mexico.

Chill Is sincerely sorry, and has said

Montt. Minister Montt hopes that
within week every cause OF irritation
will be removed.
Otictal lips are sealed regarding what
took place at the interview held by the
Chilian Minister with Secretary Blaine,
but the following is the situation: The
Chilian Government has expressed its
regrets for the attack ON the Baltimore
and the subsequent proceedings which
were so unfriendly to the United States.
1t has formally disavowed any intention
of offense in the diplomatic correspond
emce and has repudiated Minister Mat
tais insulting letters as not rejecting
the sentiments of President Montt and
his present Cabinet.
1t has submitted the findings of the
Procurator Fiscal as evidence of its
good faith in investigating the Nalpa-
raisO riot, and the punishment cf the
men found guilty will follow in due
course. 1t formally disclaims the idea
that the attack on the sailors was be-
cause of the uniform they wore. 1t does
not unreservedly admit a financial ne
sponsibility to the families of the sailors
kllleu, DuJ lcdNe5 Inc QutSJlOHOl vi 1luCht-
nifty open to be decided by third parties
or to be settled by future arrangement
between the two countries. 1t does not
admit any hostility or negligence on the
part of the police, as the government
cannot go back of its own courts on this
point
But realizing that the United States is
equally bound by the findings of it's
officers the Montt administration is will
ing to leaveithe question OF fact to fu-
ture determination, which means arbi-
tration. Incidentally, though, the hope
is expressed that on fuller examination
the United States will be convinced that
there was no cause of complaint against
the Valparaiso police, and this phase OF
the controversy may be dropped.
1t will be seen that the concessions
made by Chilli come pretty close to full
filling the definition of PREPARATION"
which was demanded by President Har-
rison when the news of the Valparaiso
murders reached Washington. This de-
mand included expression of regret for
the occurrence, punishment of the Offend
ers, and indemnity to the families Of the
victims.
These concessions are couched in dip
lomatic language, but their meaning is
clear. In addition there is the guaranty
of personal safety to the refugees If
given up for trial and Of freedom from
penalties If tried and convicted.
