IDAHO STATE WARRANTS.
state Omcials Propose to Maintain the
States Credit.

State officials Propose to Maintain the
States Credit.
BOISE, Ida, March Especial THE
action OF local banks in discounting state
warrants three per cent. is being handled
without gloves by state officials. State
Treasurer Hill will use all the money at
his disposal for the purpose of maintain
ing the credit of the state by holding
warrants at par. The state board of land
commissioners has determined to use the
school funds for taking up warrants. II
the action of the banks is persisted in
there will be no further loans of school
moneys on hand for the next two years.
People have flocked to Treasurer Hill's
Office all day, receiving 100 cents on the
dollar for their warrants. If the state
funds hold out. and it is thought they
will, as there is over $4,000 still in the
treasury, the banks will be defeated in
their scheme to rob the people. They
will soon be clamoring for warrants,
and only too anxious to pay their face
value to get hold of them.
District Attorney Hayes arrived today.
He says he he will bring the state officials
and all others who know anything about
the alleged cases of bribery in the recent
legislature before the grand jury, which
convenes next Tuesday. Some very dam
aging statements are being made, but it
is thought it will be difficult to secure
evidence before the grand jury.

CAPTAIN BRUBAKER's CASE.

All Information in the State Department
Transmitted the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-In the case
of Captain Pharos B. Brubaker, of North
Dakota. imprisoned in Spanish Hondu-
ras, the president transmitted to the SEN
ate on yesterday, in compliance with its
resolution of the third instant, report
from Secretary Gresham giving all in
formation in the department relative to
the case. The papers show that Secre-
tary Foster on Sept. 80 telegraphed MIN
lister Pacheco to look into the matter.
Oct. is Pacheco forwarded telegram
from Secretary of War Alvarado of Hon
duras saying that Brubaker was one of
those who took up arms against the gov
eminent and captured Truxville on June
%. When the uprising was put down
Brubaker was captured, tried under Hon
duras laws and sentenced to seven years
mprisonment, which he is now under
going.
Secretary Foster replied that he did not
see that the government could do any
thing more, but as he had assured Frank
j. Thompson of Fargo that the minister
would do all he could for Brubaker he
wished Pacheco would do the same. On
November 25 Pacheco replied that he had
asked the Honduras government for full
particulars.

.THE MARCH BULLETIN
Surplus of Wheat the Smallest
in Ten Years.
SUPPLY OF CORN ON HAND.
Congressman Henderson's Analysis of
Congressional Appropriations.
The Presidents Withdrawal of the Ha-
swaiian Treaty Still Topic of Dis
cussion Among Senators "A
Modified Treaty Expected.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The estimated
proportion of wheat on hand is 1872 per
cent. OF the last crop, the smallest in ten
years.
The quantity on hand aggregates 1876,
100000 bushels, 80, 600, 600 bushels less
than last March, and $4,000, 600 more than
the remnant of the very small crop OF
1890. A very large proportion is found in
states that do not spare bushel for COM
mercial distribution. There are only
"a ,000, 900 bushels in the principal spring
wheat states, more than half OF which is
required for seed in the spring. Of the
winter wheat states only Kansas and CAL
ifornia have any considerable surplus
available Tor commercial distribution.
The corn on hand it is estimated aggre-
gates 626, 847 $40 bushels, or 1875 per cent.
been exceeded in March four times in the
last ten years, and the quantity has been
exceeded five times.
The consumption of the government s
8 ,001, 616, $50 bushels only exceeds that
following the smaller crop of 1889 and
1890. The aggregate sold from farms to
beyond county lines is 277 ,379, 900 BUSH
els, or IL per cent. of the crop. The pro-
portion OF mercantile is 1, 345, ZOO, or S2.6
charitable corn average AZ. g cents, for I'M
merchantable 27.7 cents, making the ag-
gregate $685., ZOO, 900, which exceeds the
December valuation by $13, 600, 900, aver
aging 40 cents per bushel. The amount
eX ported in twelve months is 1911 200, 000
bushels; the amount required for con-
sumption, 300, ZOO, 600; seed used "a 900,
600; visible stocks, 5000, COO; total OF
624, 900, 600, against an apparent supply OF
! 729 600 GOO.
There is, therefore, an apparent excess
OF distribution from the last two crops of
81 900, 900 bushels compared with
previous estimates showing, if pres
ent estimates are correct, which can
not be positively assured, that the crops
of 1891 and 1892, were underestimate by
two or three per cent, which would be a
very close margin on the safe side.
Very little old wheat is reported on
hand. The average weight of the crop
per measured bushel, calculated from the
and correspondents is 57.5 pounds,
reducing the estimated product
to 494, 900, 900 commercial bushels.
The crop report for March
of the department of agriculture relates
to the distribution of corn and wheat and
stocks remaining on farms. 1t is not the
census of individual growings but based
on county estimates of percentage of last
years remainings by correspondents in
each county, and also by an independent
board reporting to state agents of all
grain including any surplus of previous
years. These separate results are
scrutiniZed for obvious errors and in
consistencies regulated, distance harmon
lied and ultimate statements tabulated by
states to show both the percentages and
aggregate quantities.

THE WHEAT CORNER.
May Wheat Bulged Nearly Three Cents
Bushel Yesterday.

may VhcelO NCaAAJ AhAS0 OcAOS a
Bushel Yesterday.
CHICAGO, March 1O.-In twenty min
utes today on the board of trade May
wheat buiged nearly cents bushel,
from 75I to 1873. The shorts became
panic stricken ard fell over each other in
their anxiety to cover. The tumult was
emphasized by the fact that while May
wheat was going up July presented the
phenomenon of dropping at an alarming
rate. The rapid movements removed any
doubt that a corner was being run
in May wheat, and the only subject of
uncertainty was the identity of the cor
nerer. When the market opened it was
in nervous, apprehensive condition. 1t
needed only match to touch 1t off, and
the fire was supplied by representatives
of the northwestern milling interest buy
ing May in large quantities. Then re-
progression in July began. After the
bulge a gradual decline took place, until
at noon May sold at n and July 1875.
Eggleston the cash wheat magnate is
quoted as saying the market today
memoralized the result of the report of a
corner in May by j. B. Keene. Eggleston
claims that the actual cause was May
sales by northwest interests, but others
laugh at this and say Keene is selling
July as rapidly as he is buying May

WASHINGTON, March 10. - The Post
publishes the following work Of arrang-
ing the Senate committee chairmanships
which has so far progressed that nearly
all have been selected. The most inter
esting development is the fact that the
free silver men propose to run the Senate
their own way and are recasting the fl
nance committee so as to leave no doubt
of the stand which the committee will
take upon any coinage bills before it. The
Democrats on the committee up to the
fourth of March were Messrs. Voorhees,,
Mcpherson, Harris and Vance. Mr..
VOORHEES, will be chairman. Messrs.
Harris and Vance, both outspoken free
silver men, will remain, and Mr.. Nc
Pherson will step aside and take the
craftsmanship of the committee on naval
affairs. Other Democrats on the finance
committee will be Coke and Vest, both
of whom are avowedly on a free coinage
platform.
| 1t will be seen that no matter what
| President Cleveland may desire, the per-
sonnet of the Finance committee is such
as to make it almost impossible for him
to dominate the financial policy to be fol-
lowed by the Senate All the anti-silver
men, Sucn as Was, MCPHERSON ana
others, have been purposely kept off the
committee.

; firemeD and spectators shouted to the i'm
perilled man to drop. He had reached
midway between the two buildings and as
the smoke cleared away his white face was
recognized as that of Chief John Pagan,
out for the first time since suffering g
fracture of collar bone.
A squad of men quickly mounted the
building for which he was heading and
loosening the cable gradually lowered it
till the hook and ladder company res
cued the man and carried him
to place of safety. George McCaller
told OF seeing four men and women cling
ing to the stoneWork six stories up. 1t
was impossible to reach them, and one
by one they dropped, striking with a
sickening thud on the frozen ground.
Each Of them was unconscious when
reached, and from the nature of the fall
must have broken every bone in their
body.
The employees of many large stores in
the city were on duty until the fire was
under control, ready to move goods, if
necessary. Incoming trains from all di-
evening, and probably 5000 outsiders
helped to pack the streets in the vicinity.
A conservative estimate of the total
loss is g, SOC, 600. The insurance will
amount to about 81, 900, 600. No effort
will be made to compile insurance to-
night.
David Geddis who assisted in removing
people who jumped from the burning
building, tells of girls jumping from a
third story window and striking the teie-
graph wires which cut their throat. In
another instance he held a blanket into
which a number of women jumped, all
of whom were more or less seriously
injured. In the third place he saw some
thirty people jump into the street life
net which broke their fall, but all were
unconscious when taken out, aud most of
them were undoubtedly badly injured.
He says in the window of the third floor
from which they jumped was struggling
mass of people, and thinks many fell
back into the flames.

is still matter of discussion among SEN

that he had received an intimation that
the president is DESTROYS of modifying the

thought it possible the president might
so frame a treaty of annexation that it
would depend upon all HaWaiians as ex-
pressed by plebiscite.
Should a majority reject annexation
then protectorate might be established,
and this in turn would result in annexing
