Chamber of Commerce.

The local wheat market was irregular
around the opening, and without any
new features or special indications of
marked tendency. Cables were weak
and diScouraging. Local receipts were
large, and, together with the Duluth
receipts, formed Il good-siZed club to
beat the average bull of these degener-
ate days; There is a general feeling
among the trade that after a break of
&c IN values and every bear in the coun-
try short more or less, reaction to a
. higher range of prices should naturally
take place.
Wheat ranged as follows: May, open
ing, csc; highest, roc; lowest, $3.50;

by Gov. d. H. Waite. of Colo
rade; eX-Congressman j. B. Weaver, of
Iowa; A. c. Fiske. of Denver, COL;
Gov. q. 2. Iillman, of South Carolina;
Gov. w. J. Stone, of Missouri, and
others, and at length it was decided
that each state delegation at large
should cast twenty votes, while all
other delegates from other sources
should cast their individual votes. II.
G. Walters, of Washington, delegate
from state whose governor refused to
appoint, was given power to cast the
states entire vote of twenty, as was
also j. K. Weatherford, of Oregon, for
his state. The settlement of this mat
ter admitted of the submission of the
report of the committee on permanent
organization, the following names being
announced as the selection of the COM
mittee for officers of the convention:
President, Gov. l.. d. Llewelling, Of
Kansas; vice president, NJ. E. Benton,
of Missouri; secretary Olney Newell.
OF Colorado; assistant secretaries.
Samuel b. Cook, of Missouri. and w.
Ii. Culp, of Arkansas. To the accom-
paniment OF the conventions appear
ance Gov. Waite, of Colorado, Gov.
Stone, of Missouri, and S. II. Snider, of
Kansas, escorted to the chair President
Llewelling, who briefly thanked the
convention. urging that the delibera-
lions of the aSsemblage be carried on
with care and caution, that the results
desired might be accomplished without
alternating those who would be friends.
The conventIan was small in numbers,
yet there were enough before him, If
guided properly, to set going principles
and a work which shall accomplish
wonders. But he preferred to yield to
those who, he felt, could speak better
than he, and with that he presented
Mrs. Mary E. Lease, of Kansas, for
whom he asked of the convention
hearing.
Mrs. Lease, when the echoes of her
greeting died away, opened with the
declaration that crisis was now on
which was more dangerous than that
which confronted the American people
in 1876. With that Introduction she
proceeded to argue for the union of the
West and South against the bondhold
ers of the East. AS she stepped from
the platform the warmth of the applause
attested the feeling of the delegates.
The committee on resolutions was
next appointed as follows: James B.
Weaver, Iowa; Old Mexico, H. l.. lay
lor; Colorado, D. II. Waite; Kansas, j.
w. Breidenthal; Missouri. r. NJ. King;
Montana, J. W. Powers; South Caro-
lima, NJ. p. Tillman; Oregon, j. *.
Weatherford; Texas, Otto F. Heckel-
man; Washington, II. c. Walters.
AT this point calls for President A. G.
Fiske, of the Pan-American Bimetallic
convention. brought that gentleman to
the floor with an address almost entirely
statistical in behalf of bImetallism, the
Nicaragua canal and the use of the
Mississippi and other rivers leading to
the gulf, thereby severing relations
with the East to the benefit of the West
to the extent OF at least SS3. ZOO, 900 on
freights to Europe on -four, wheat and
corn, and how much more in other pro
ducts?
Gen. j. B. Weaver briefly addressed
the convention in favor of bimetallism
i'll Its fullest sense, and then the con-
ventiOn adjourned until O'Clock to-
morrow morning.

James Baker. prisoner convict sent
from Minneapolis for three years, tried
to commit suicide tonight by plunglng a
file into his body. The gashes are deep,
but the wound is not cosidered dan
gerous.
Coroner Freligh has returned from
Forest Lake. and says that 6. w. Tuss-
ner committed suicide by sending a
load of shot through his brain. The
body was taken to Minneapolis for in
terment.
AS the date approaches for the audi
tors sale of lands upon which taxes are

into the county treasury each day for a
week or more.
lO oS1lC III w lilltlll StOlC,
on North Fourth street, was blown open
some time Monday night or early yes
terday morning, but the burglars must
feel chagrined at the small amount of
booty that they secured. Mr.. Smith
son had deposited all of his money in
one of the local banks on the day be-
fore, and ali that the burglars secured
was seven cents. A hole had been
drilled in the safe and the lock was
broken off. Some of the drawers were
taken down into the cellar, where they
were broken into pieces. Everything
indicates that it was the work of pro-
fesSiona!s, and the police are watching
all suspicious characters. One arrest
was made yesterday, but it is doubtful
if the police have the right party.

NO WAR IN SIGHT.
Guatemala Is Not Preparing for
Immediate War,

0uatCHaid As NOC preparing 1Or
Immediate War.
NEW YORK, Oct. ga special from
Guatemala to morning paper says:
President Barrios pronounces the re-
ports telegraphed to the United States
and Europe that Guatemala is prepar-
ing for war absurd. He says the re-
organization of the army and the re-
forming of the armament is only part
of a general effort to improve every
branch of the public service. The
financial condition of the republic, he
boasts. has improved so that the govern
ment will be able to perfect its service,
and he believes that even more can be
done. as the new tax and the revised
customs tariff yield sufficient to main
tain the government and also enable it
to pay off its debts contracted by pre-
vious administrations, while punctuallv
meeting interest on internal and for
eign debts.
Ex-PreSident Barillas denies the re-
port that he is implicated with the Sal
yadorean refugee Letona, or that his re-
latons with Barrios have grown cold.
Barillas insists that he is out of poll
tics; is attending to his coffee planta-
lions and has no idea of going abroad.
His greatest desire is to see prosperity
and peace continue in Guatemala.

ILLINOIS CROPS.
Heavy Yields and Happy Gran
gers,

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-The IIli-
nois weekly crop bnlletin says: The
rains have been of great benefit to
meadows and pastures, which are now
reported growing nicely. In some sec
tons stock has been turned out. Stock
water is now abundant. The ground is
generally in excellent condition for fall
blowing, and this work is being vigor-
ously pushed. Considerable seeding
has been accomplished, but has been
retarded somewhat by the heavy rains,
particularly in the southern division.
In some sections seeding has been fin
ished. Some farmers have delayed
sowing owing to the presence Of grass
hOppers. Grain lately sown will be
greatly benefited by the rains. The re-
ports indicate that the yield of corn, eX-
cept in few counties, will be greater
than was anticipated some weeks ago,
and the quality will also be good. The
crop is now being cut. and in some To-
calities Scribbed. 1t is thought that the
bulk of the corn will be ready to crib by
Oct. Is. Potatoes will be light crop
generally
