Yesterdays Drop in Wheat.

He Pocketed Cool Half Million by
Yesterday's Drop in Wheat.
CHICAGO, April 11.-Everything fa-
vored Partridge on the board of trade
today. 1t is estimated that he is richer
by at least half million dollars, by the
operations of the day. The board of
trade was crowded throughout the day.
Partridge's manner was much calmer,
and it was evident that his plans
were more settled than on Saturday.
From 85ac May wheat dropped by big
jumps to 8O1ac, and finally closed there.
This is 23sc below Saturdays close. The
market opened at S4@S41ac and settled
down to $3.50, then went up to $3.50,
dropped again to 82hc, and at noon was
82Ac. May then went off to S14c,
braced up to S1Ac, and at o'clock was
811ac. At the close of the session it fell
to 5000 or thereabouts.

The Senate Executive Clerk Bounced
For Betraying Secrets.
WASHINGTON. April 11.-After a
stormy debate in executive session, the
senate today yielded to the pressure of
the committee on foreign relations, and
vacated the Office of executive clerk,
filled for ten years by James r. Young.
When the doors were closed, an effort
was made to have the conduct of Young
Investigated. This was defeated after a
spirited contest. Cameron presented
letter from Young, signifying his will
ingness to surrender the office, but re.
questing thorough investigation, stat
ing that if he betrayed executive secrets
as alleged, he was liable to punishment
under the law, and was perfectly willing
to abide by the result. The motion for
an investigation was defeated by a mall
majority. The senators who betrayed
reluctance to convict the clerk without
an investigation were told that the com.
mlttee on foreign relations had abso-
lutely satisfied itself of the justice of the
proposition. They stated that if the
senate decided to maintain the secrecy
OF the executive sessions, the number of
employees in whom confidence is re-
posed must be decreased, and that
secrecy had been maintained since the
employees were excluded. Finally the
committee made the matter a personal
issue, and intimated that they could re-
fuse to participate in executive business
if the clerk was not dismissed. Despite
the efforts of Henderson and other ad-
vocates for fair investigation, the
junior senators who were fearful of in
curing the ill-will OF the powerful COM
mittee on foreign relations, voted re-
luctantly for vacating the offibe, which
carried by ten majority.

over the Lake Shore 70 Sumas. and thence
over the Bellingham Bay e. British Co

In the Skakit valley the Northern Pa
cihc has a slight advantage through its
traffic arrangement with the Seattle &
Northern, though the Great Northern gets
II also at Burlington and Sedro. Yet
nearly all the business of the Skakit valley
is gathered up by the Seattle & Northern
and delivered to the Lake Shore at Sedro.
So long as Nelson Bennett retains con-
troll of the Bellingham Bay & British Co
lumbia. the Northern Pacific will be able
to reach the bay towns by the roundabout
Sumas route, but if the taIked-of sale
should take place this inlet might be cut
off. Such q possibility makes it all the
more probable that the Northern Pacific
will go to Beilingham bay direct by build
ing the branch from Wickersham by way

made last spring.
