Mr.. Blaine Will not Write An
other Letter. This Is Off
cial and Until
The Next Dispatch May Be Given
Absolute Credence That
Harrison Has
693 Delegates Provokes the Risi
bles of National Committee
man Conger.

CHICAGO, May 31.-"Mr. Blaine will
not write another letter." said national
committeeman A. L. Conger, of Ohio, this
morning. He is in Chicago en- route to
Minneapolis and stopped over day to
break the journey.
"Either Mr.. Blaine or the president
will be nominated," continued Mr.. Con-
ger, land am satisfied that Mr.. Blaine
will be the man. The country wants
Mr.. Blaine and his reciprocity plan
which has made him so deservedly popu-
lar"
Mr.. Conger laughed to scorn the claim
of the Harrisonites that the president
has 693 delegates pledged to him. Mr..
Conger believes there is no doubt that
Blaine will accept and in any event some
of his friends will know his intentions
before tine convention meets.
Mr.. Conger will hold conference With
J. S. Clarkson, j. Sloat Faesett, Henry
G. Payne of Wisconsin, National Com
mitteeman Hobart, of Michigan, and
other Blaine leaders tonight at the
Grand Pacific, and there is little doubt
that this meeting will outline the plan
of campaign at Minneapolis.

COLONEL PLUMMER TALKS.

Though an Appointee of Harrison Thinks
Blaine Is the Coming Man.
M1NNEApoL1s, May 31.-Colonel w. G.
Plummer, of Minot, is in Minneapolis to.
day. The colonel is not here on political
business, but to meet Miss Plummer,
who arrived from the east this morning
and will accompany him to Minot to.
night.
II expect to come down here for about
four days, dating from June s." said
Colonel Plummer, speaking of the con-
vention. II believe that will be long
enough. 1 see no reason why it should
last longer than that"
"Who will be nominee, in your opin.
ion, colonel?"
"Eh, oh, they are all Blaine people up
my way; Blaine clear through, sir"
"What is your opinion as to Harrison's
chances?"
"Well, you know, Harrison has been
unfortunate in his appointments. Office
holders are not coming forward to his
support with necessary enthusiasm. It's
the old story, square pegs in round holes
you see, and they wont tit."

NAY CORN.

Spectators Endeavor to Corner the
Cereal and Get Badly Worsted-Fail-
ures for $5OO,OOO.
CHICAGO, May 31.-The elimination
of the corner in May corn to-day resulted
in an extraordinary scene on the floor of
the board of trade.
A dollar bushel was the price de.
manded by clique that has secured
control of nearly the entire supply avail
able in this market.
The crowd of traders in the corn pit
occupied every inch of room and far ex-
ceeded the wheat crowd in dimensions,
to say nothing of lung power.
Samuel Adams and other CLIQUE
brokers were necessarily bidding 81,
while Baxter and the other set howled
offers at So. No such amount of trading
at 81 bushel for corn is remembered in
the history of the trade in Chicago. Over
a million bushels was sold at 81 per
bushel. In the midst of the excitement
the situation suddenly changed. Within
less than two minutes the price dropped
80 cents bushel. The fall was
from the 81 price fixed by the clique,
and at which they had given the tip
they would settle with any and every
body. The amount that was crowded
upon the clique at that price had proved
too much for their resources, however.
So far the only result of the deal was the
failure of Coster e Martin for half a
million.

Protesting Democratic Convention.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 31.-The con-
vention of protesting democrats was
called to order at 1909 p. NJ, and John
d. Herman was made temporary chair
man.
Mr.. Herman spoke at great length on
the intentions of the convention, and
after appointing committees a recess was
taken. After reassembling the conven-
ton chose Frederick r. Coudert. of New
York, A. E. Orr, David G. Robinson and
Mayor Bishop, of Buffalo, delegates at
large to Chicago.

ANOTHER BLAINE BOOMLET.

An Effort to be Made to Rush the Nomi-
nation-Alabama's Anti-Administra-
tion Delegation to Take the Initiatory
F.. Step. :.
MINNEAPoLIs June IAN important
conference to decide on chance to
nominate Blame will be held here tn 9
latter part of the week by Senator Quay,
Chairman Clarkson and other Blaine
boomers. An earnest effort will be made
in the committee on credentials to have
the anti-administration delegation from
Alabama recognized, in which case it's
spokesman, a man named Austin, will
rise when the first ballot is called, and
with flourish of words will cast the
vote OF his delegation for James G.
Blaine.
The Arkansas delegation has already
been seen, and while it is not certain
that it's entire mem bership will vote for
Blaine, there will be enough votes to
keep the ballot rolling. The sixteen
votes in the delegation will be divided
about equally between Harrison, Alger
and Blaine: Then will come California.
Senator FELTON,, one of the delegates
at large says its entire delegation will
vote for Blaine if the other states do
likewise. When California has cast it's
vote for Blaine, it will be followed by
Colorado, which delegation will also, be
solid for Blaine. By this time, to use
the expressive words of senator, '.the
team will have run away" It is not ex.
pecred that anybody will try to stop it,
but that on the contrary, there will be-
wild excitement to make the run away
fly along all the faster.

North DakSs Delegation Said to
Be For .Blaine-With One

CHICAGO, June 1.-Even Emmons
Blaine:apparently does not know how his
father stands regarding the presidential
nomination. The son of the secretary
of state was at the Grand Pacific hotel
to-day in conference with Messrs. Clark.
son, Conger and others. In an interview
afterwards he declared he knew nothing
regarding his fathers intentions, though
admitting that the secretary's silence
meau good deal.
Mr.. Clarkson declined to see reporters.
He was in receipt of dispatches by the
dozen.
Senator b. G. Hansbrough of North
Dakota, came in from Washington, cap
tured a handful of kilograms at the
hotel counter and at once went to Mr..
Clarkson's room. MIR. Hansbrough's
correspondents wired him that of six
uninstructed delegates from North Da-
kota, five had announced themselves for
Blaine, and the single Harrison man,
Gerald Pierce, son of Ex-senator Gilbert
Pierce, was bound to Harrison only
through his fathers efforts.
The instructed delegation from South
Dakota had swung around for Blaine,
but two Of the eight delegates have said
they would vote for Mr.. Harrison.
"Blaine will be nominated on the first
ballot" said Senator Hansbrough. "My
ticket is Blaine and Rnsk, and the name
OF the Wisconsin man for vice. president
is on every lip at Washington. He
would capture the farmer vote. Blaine
and Rusk would carry every state west
OF the Mississippi and also Tennessee
and Louisiana. New York will give
10000 majority for Blaine, the action of
the Cleveland men at their 'kick' con-
vention yesterday having shown that the
fight in the democratic ranks there will
last until after election day."
Members of the executive committee
left for Milwaukee this afternoon on a
special train over the Milwaukee road
tonight. The committee will be ban
quetted by Henry G. Payne. To-mor-
row the trip to Minneapolis will be re-
sumed. The committee held no regular
meeting this morning, but there is
general discussion on the appointment
OF temporary chairman of the conven-
ton.
The latest gossip was that the honor
would fall on Tom Reed, j. Sloat Fas,
sett or ex-senator John j. ingalls,, of
Kansas, with the chances in favor of
the Name man. -.

Boyle said: II know that the governor
intends to vote for Harrison, and that he

Mr.. Blaine cannot afford to let his name

MADISON, Wis, June 1.-Governor
Peck has issued proclamation calling
a special session of the legislature June
%, to reapportion the state into senate

Estimates of Flood Damages.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-Now that the
great flood has about passed away in the
south, the following estimates is made of
losses occasioned by the high water-a
loss unprecedented in the history of
floods.
Missouri, S11,OOO,OOO; Tennessee, ST.
100000; Kentucky, 100000; Mississippi,
$1,000,0OO; Louisiana, S5,OOO,OOO. Total
over s29,OOO,OOO.
This estimate does not include stagna-
tion in business among the mercannts
and transportation lines. A conservative
estimate of the amount of damages
caused by the loss from high waters
from Kansas City to New Orleans will
reach the enormous figure of $50, 100000.

wind and rain storm ragged all day and

put the Arkansas river ON another boom.
The wind is driving the waves against
the Mississippi shore and will give the
levees severe trial. Should they give
way opposite this place body of water
twelve feet deep would sweep over their
country for miles, carrying death and
destruction in it's path.

SPURIOUS SWEETS.
a. Connecticut Mine That Pans Out Large
Quantities of Bogus Sugar.

a Connecticut Mine That Pans Out Large
Quantities of Bogus Sugar.
A peculiar seizure was made by one
OF the officers connected with the health
Departments in a little East side gro
Gerry store recently, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. Three
innocent-looking -four barrels were ap~
pretended by the iron hand Of the law
and borne away upon truck, a pro-
ceeding which caused the proprietor of
the establishment to swear in high, low
and medium height Dutch. These in
nocent~looking -four barrels came from
a little village which decks the verdant
hills Of central Connecticut. the home
of the soft, fine ham. where the sur-
rounding landscape smiles with the con-
viction Of being fully insured and the
wooden nutmegs ripen In the sun. New
Preston is the name Of this sequestered
hamlet and it is distinguished for two
things-a boarding school at which
thirteen young men Of cadavero71s APP
pearance subsist upon hope and Greek
roots and the only sugar quarry in the
land. A large deposit of soft lime rock
has been mined for some time past, and
the result of this labor, after passing
through certain mysterious processes at
a neighboring mill, makes its bow as
first quality graduated sugar. This
pleasing little industry has been -four
ishing for about ten years, and the pro
prietors OF the sugar mine have waxed
opulent. The bulk Of the rock dust is
sent to New York as -four, and here it
is mixed in it's proper proportion with
the real article and worked off on the
gentle consumer. OF course the spuri-
Gus part of the shortening doesn't melt,
and it is only detected by close in
spection of the bottom of the cup after
drinking The extent Of this little vari-
ETY. of food adulteration may be grasped
when it is stated that the output of the
Connecticut sugar factory is several
hundred barrels per week.

His final report will not be presented

for an interesting and excellent display
from them is most encouraging: each

deal directly with the director general
and the authorities of the exposition at
Chicago, and not through the English
colonial office. The people of Bermuda
are particularly DESTROYS that their ex-
hibit should not be placed with that Of
the West India islands, the preference
of the commission being for space near
or adjoining that allotted to Canada.
Strong efforts are being made to dispel
the impression that Bermuda is West

COLUMBIAN SOUVENIR COINS
The Plan to Coin 2O.O0O,OO0 of Them In
dorsed By The Treasury Officials.

The Plan to Coin 2O.00O,OO0 of Them In
dorsed by the Treasury Officials.
Capt, Porter of the secret service re-
ceived information from Washington
recently that the treasury officials had
Endorsed his scheme to coin 10000, 900 Or
1000, 900 silver half dollars Of q special
design for use in lieu Of admission
tickets at the fair. The face value OF
these coins would be SO cents aud each
would bear an appropriate design: an
inscription on one side and the head OF
Columbus ON the other. These coins
would be legal tender for admission to
the fair, and it is believed at least 49,,
1000 of them would be bought by
visitors and retained as souvenirs. AS
the actual cost of the coins is but so
cents each, the government would
make between 100000 and $4,000, 600
profit or almost as much as the govern
rnent is asked to appropriate for the
fair. II 2o,0o0,000 were kept as SOU
venirs, which the treasury officials say
would be quite likely, The profit would
be 81, 600, 900. A congressional legisla-
tiou pernni ting the issuance Of the
coins will be necessary, but as Capt,
Porter's plan has been Endorsed by the
local fair officials it is not unlikely
that q bill will be prepared authorizing
the issuance OF the coins.
Should congress take favorable action
Capt. Porter says a coin could be de-
signed that would cost much less thar
80 cents and yet be as attractive as one
4, 70 I'm
government would be much larger.
Capt. Porter has made application for
a patent on his scheme. Director Leech
of the mint has Endorsed it and says he
can see no objection to it.

Guides Are to BE Appointt,d.

Already SO many are visiting the fail
grounds each day that the necessity for
a corps of competent guides is apparent.
Indeed there seems to be a greater need
for guides at present than there will be
when the buildings are all completed.
1t is no easy matter to find ones way
about the gigantic structures that are
only half completed, and about which
immense piles of lumber. iron and stone
are heaped. Two guides are now doing
service at the park under the direction
of Superintendent Geraldine. and they
are constantly employed. The ways
and means committee has recognized
the need for guides, and has taken oc-
casion to supply the want. At its next
meeting the matter will be fully dis
cussed, and subcommittee will UNI
doubtedly be appointed and given full
power to act Guides appointed now
will probably come under the supervis'
ion of the chief of the department Of
public comfort when he is appointed.
