dOrf AstOr.


dOrf Astor.
NEW YORK, March 29.-A morning
paper, in two column article, with
glarjng headlines, claims that there has
been an anarchistic threat to assassina.e
the prince of Wales, should he visit
America.
As the story goes, it is an open secret
that efforts are being made to induce
the prince to visit America. It Is lust as
we'll established that the prince has
looked with favor upon the idea, aud
80 we'll is the latter fact known that
people in position to understand the
undercurrent at work toward this event
say it has become quite possible that the
prince would accept an invitation ex
tended him by Mr.. William Waldorf
Atlantic. 1t is believed that Mr.. Astor
will charter either the Majestic or
Teutonic in case the prince of Wales de.
cides to accompany him, and will 90 di
rectly to Boston. When the party
reaches that city it will go to Chicago
by special trains chartered by Mr.. Astor
by way Of Canada. The principal de
sign, the paper says, in having the prince
visit Canada is to use his presence as a
| check to the annexati IN sentiment.
The article continues:
Major Charles Fox Billings, of Peter
boro, not long since wrote to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, stating that he has accurate
information ;hat an extensive anarchistiC
plot has been begun, in which the lead

ernmeat crop report was generally given a
bearish construction, and the market
started weak. with the selling pressure
enormous. For time the bulls fought the
decline, but in the face OF weak cables and
growing financial complications the ngnt
was a losing one. First, news OF the In
dauRpOhs failure became known. Inen
the ciimaXs was reached when IL was
announced that the Columbian Bank of

a partial panic, but it was soon checked
Deductions made from the government re-
port varied widely, but it was evident that
the most influential part of the trade con-
strued it bearishly. In this they seemed
partially sustained by the Cincinnati Price
Current During the last hour buying was
on a liberal scale, aud there was good re-
covery. The corn market did not act with
wheat, except in showing little weakness
at the opening. Prices made good rally
before being checked by the bank failures.
This caused hesitation, but no setback OF
