CHICAGO, April GA bolder plunge was
probably never witnessed in the Chicago
wheat trade than that made by Partridge
today. Last night, with estimated short
sales of 10000, 900 bushels chalked up
against him, with the quotations shooting
skyward, and with every jump in the
price meaning a personal loss of hun
dred thousand dollars, the little specula-
tor was believed to be ready to throw bis
hands up in despair. Tonight all is
changed. Partridge was again the con-
queror A regiment of brokers at his
orders had dashed into the pic at the out
set of the day and had fought his enemies
TO standstiil. Before the day ended be
had pulled down the price over three cents
a bushel from the highest point reached.
The close was within Ia of a cent of the
lowest price of the day
Partridge, in person, was on the floor
bright and early. The galleries and pit
were crowded to suffocation, in the eXpec-
tatlon of seeing cyclone, when, losing his
nerve, he should attempt to buy instead of
sell. The noted plunger's keen, gray eyes
were fully alive to what was going on. He
denied that he had lost or would lose any
thing, and declared, when lose l lose
for keeps; but | am not worrying about
loss just now. | am feeling all right"
lie asserted that nothing would drive him
to cover unless the market went to 81. The
days trade was spasmodlc, and, on the
whole, not as heavy as yesterdays. At
times the market was very excited; at
others, quiet. The fluctuations were rapid
and violent and the feeling very unsettled.
Bull news was plentiful, and but for
Pardridge's bold tactics would have had a
marked effect; for bear advices We're
scarce. A telegram from Kansas City gave
the information that the state agricultural
department of Missouri put the condition
OF the crop in that state at 60 per cent, a
heavy decrease from the outlook in Decem-
Der last. ST. Louis, however, reported
that up to II o'clock nothing had been
heard OF the report there except in dis
patches from Chicago.
Partridge, far from showing evidence
of weakening, was bustling about aud
kept his brokers selling necessarily. After
the noon hour wheat began TO weaken.
The shorts seemed to be well covered, and
for a moment buying came to a halt. The
bears took fresh courage and began TO sell.
There seemed to be no one with courage
enough to extend any support, and Par
bridge continued his smuggling tactics, AID
when the break started the longs began
to unload and the pyramid tum bled Then
some of the operators became bold, de-
claring that Dodge's estimate on the
wheat condition will be from IS to S. per
cent or better This was followed by such
selling as caused many to believe that
some houses had inside information from
At any rate, the Dodge
puzzle is too uncertain to hold wheat
against. The general selling put the May
price off to S21$ cents bid at the close, or
II cents under the close last night on the
regular session, which was 2 cents under |
the latter curb prices.
1t was reported that George Payne, who |
traded In d small way had failed.

THE PENSION INQUIRY.

WASHINGTON, April 9-The Raum in
vestigation was continued today. Repre-
sentative Cooper, who had been out of the
city, said that he had seen by the papers
that frequent references had been made to
himself. and he asked permission to ex-
anime the testimony and certain records
in the pension office The attack made
had been especially directed at himself, and
there were things needing explanation.
On the face Of themrit looked as if he
had some knowledge OF matters which
were very reprehensible, and which had
been done in his name, but
without his knowledge. Hehad had
no connection with anything that was
irreg ular, and wanted to examine the
records before making a statement, in
order that his statement when made might
be full and complete.
James Donohue, pension office clerk,
testified that he caused the arrest of Major
Barker, the dismissed chief OF the record
division, for failure to pay borrowed
funds, and finally got the money; but
Barker, who was then chief, Immediately
reduced him from section chief to clerk.

THE -TIN-PLATE BILL.

WASHINGTON, April 9-The report of
the committee on ways and means on the
tin plate bill was submitted to the house
today by Mr.. Shively. The present law. it
says, subjects every American industry
which uses tin-plate to new and burden
some eXactlOns. The proposed measure is
a proposition to release these industries
from such exactions. The distinction in
principle between the two is the dlstinc-
ton between demand by one citizen that
is licensed to take that which is not his
own and the petition of another citizen
that he be permitted TO keep that which
is his own. The Mckinley act granted
privileges; the proposed act restores rights.
Nothing is withheld from an American
industry which in reason belongs to it,
while that relief is granted to many
American industries to which, by every
consideration OF justice and sound policy,
they are unquestionably entitled.

charge of killing Robinson, the
Englishman. at Yokohama, about two
months ago. A cablegram from Com
nlander j. r Bartlett, COMMANDER OF lsa
Marion. gave briefly the informa1iou that
Hetherington had been acquitted by the
consular court at Yokohama before
which he was tried. This action settles
the case finally as there is no other tribu-
nal than the consular court that has
jurisdiction in such matters. Hetherlng-
ton, it will be remembered, is the lieuten-
ant in the navy who shot aud killed Rob
inson, prominent member of the English
colony, on the ground that the latter had
been unduly intimate with Mrs. Hether-

OXFORD DEFEATS CAMBRIDGE.

LONDON, April 9-For the twenty sixth
time since the Inauguration ofthe Oxford
Cambridge boat races the crew of the
Oxford University Boat club have passed
the winning line ahead of their opponents.
The dark blue of Oxford was again carried
to victory today by the strong arms of its
wearers, and laundering cheers greeted
the carsmen as they rested on their oars
after their well-foughG battle for success.
Altogether forty-tve races have been
rowed, one of which that of 1870 termin-
ated in dead heat. The day was an ideal
one for oarsmeD. The summer weather

were packed with crowds of people Such
a gathering as was present today has

the supporters OF the two clubs The
crews took their positions at the starting
line just above the squeduct adjoining

starting signal was given.
