AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE

At Which Canada is Called Upon to Cease
Her Unjust Determination in the Matter
of WeIland Canal Tolls, or Pay for Her
Obstinacy by Losing Some of Her Saule
Ste. Marie Privileges.
WASHINGTON. June 4.--Hon. Geo.
Foster, Canadian minister of finance,
and Hon. Mckenzie Bowel, Canadian
minister of militia, representing Cam
ada, and Secretary Blaine and Gen. j.
w. Foster, representing the United
States, met in conference. yesterday
morning, at the state department to-
regulate the differences between the
two countries arising out of the eXac-
ton of tolls on American vessels pass
ing through the Welland canal The
conference will last several days.
Secretary Blaine left the conference
shortly after it opened to attend the
cabinet meeting but returned within
half an hour. 1t is stated that under
the arrangement with Great Britain
the vessels of this government and.
those of Canada are to have like pri--
vi!eges in passing through the canals.
connecting the great lakes. AS re-
suit the Canadian vessels are allowed
to pass through the Sault Ste. Marie,
canal without paying UOll anu Tic SdihC-
through the ST. Clair Flats canal In.
this respect the Canadian vessels have
precisely the same privileges as YES
sells belonging to the United.
States. But when it comes to the
Welland canal, where American
vessels should have reciprocal adj
vantages, the Canadian govern
ment, it is alleged, violated the
treaty by discriminating under re-
bate system. BY this method, if YES
sci goes through to Montreal there is a.
rebate paid on tolls at the Welland
canal. But if the vessel does not go
through to Montreal, the rebate is not
paid In this way any vessel bound for
an American port on Lake Ontario has
to pay very much larger tolls at the
Welland canal than n vessel that.
goes through to Montreal This dis
elimination has proved very injurious.
to the trade of Oswego Ogdensburg and
other American ports on Lake Ontario.
The New York, Ontario & Western
railway recently constructed expensive
coal trestles at Oswego, with view of
coal to the west by lake, but.
found that excessive tolls of the We'll
land canal badly interfered with the.
project. 1t is for the purpose of pre-
venting just discrimination that the
present conference is called

AFTER PARDRIDGE's SCALP.
Sudden and Unexpected Advance in the
Price of Wheat and Corn.


Price of Wheat and Corn.
CHICAGO, June 4.-The wheat market
on exchange this morning opened with
one of those delusive calms which so
frequently precede it's fercer moods.
For half an hour or SO nothing occurred
to indicate that anything of an unusual
character was to take place. The bulls
and the bears were cycling each other,
but doing very little business. The
conflicting elements resembled the in
gradients of seidlitz powder previous
to its sudden admixture in the same
glass. Suddenly they were thrown to-
gether and the pit was Immediately in
Il state of violent ebulition. The price
of wheat, which started at S316 cents
for the July delivery, mounted, amid
great waves of excitement, to 81, S.
and before anything like calm sue
ceeded it reached SIS.
The reason for the sudden and unex-
pected advance was the subject Oh
much conjecture among the traders.
1t is generally believed that the effort
to boost wheat is for the purpose Of
making Ed Partridge suffer. Many
say that the pushing up Of the price Is
being done by traders who believe that
wheat is or will be worth an even dol
lar a bushei. on account of the recent
storms and floods that have been sc
disastrous to farm IS this spring. They
who have confidence that the grain
will command that price before long. it
is said. have been quietly buying many
millions of bushels at so. 81 and as high
as SO cents. with the expectation of re-
ceiving rich returns when the shorts
begin to falter. 1t was learned that
the clique supposed to be engineering
the deal bought million bushels yes.
terday as another step toward the eli
max which they hope will enrich their
pockets.
Who compose the. clique is mere con.
lecture. but the names mentioned in
clude p. D. Armour, Sidney Kent, N.
X. Fairbank. n. Il. Ream and George
T. Smith. Partridge is thought to be
heavily short on wheat. which gives
rise to the report that the parties seek
ing to advance the price long to obtain
the plunger's scalp.
The excitement in wheat commune
Gated to the corn pit in short time,
and the two whirling centers made thu

How the Decision was Received by
holland,

ST. LOUIS June mir. NOlands first
intimation of the courts decision was
through private telegram directed to
him at his residence on Chestnut street
He was taken completely by surprise,
and his wife and family were pros
trated with grief.
Mr. holland recognized that the next
proceeding would be for the marshal Of
the court to come here and convey him
t. TIE penitentiary, and he at once con-
cluded to avoid this humiliating expert
ence by at one going to jefferson City
and delivering himself to the warden.
of the prison.
During the afternoon Mrs. Noland's
illness from the shock became quite
serious. and after consultation with
his cousin and lawyer. Mr.. Chas.
holland, Mr.. NCland decided to re-
main over till his COUSIN could go
to jefferson City and file motion for n
rrhearing in the case. In accordance
with this programme Mr.. Chas. holland
left last night for jefferson City where
he will this morning file the motion.
Mr. holland will await the action of the
court on this motion before surrender
ing himself. and it is probable the mat
ter will not be disposed of for several
days. unless the court takes up the mat
ter at once.
Mr.. holland, on being seen last night,
sad: Il was much surprised at the de-
cision of the supreme court III my case,
OF course | have not seen the opinion,
and even if i had / am not competent
to criticise it, SO / will leave criticisms
to those mere competent to suggest
them. / have never thought that
would have to go to the penitentiary,
/ have an abiding faith that the
court will find in our motion for a re-
hearing sufficient reasons to justify
them in changing their decision. How
ever, if the motion for a rehearing is
denied. no officer will be necessary to
take me to the penitentiary. for l shall
promptly deliver myself to the warden.

why Sir John Hesitates to Accept an Al
bitrst ton Commissionership.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 4.-Sir John
Thompson has not accepted the posi-
ton of British representative in the
Behring sea arbitration, which has been
offered to him by Lord Salisbury, and
it is doubtful whether he will do so. 1t
is felt in political circles that it would
be unwise for one who is practically
the chief advocate of Canada to take
such position, because if the decision
of the abitrating powers, France and
Sweden, should be in favor of the.
United States, Canada's situation would
be one of deep humiliation.

murder occurred here Thursday night.
J. NJ. Dominguez being shot down in a
side street by unknown parties. Frank
Borrego, an old enemy, was arrested on

a feud of some years standing when
Borrego. then county coroner, shot and
killed his predecessor in office.
