BIG WHEAT CORNER"
"Jim" Keene Secures Control Of Twenty Mil
lion Bushels in Western Storehouses.

CHICAGO, March 9.-"Jim" Keene, accord
ing to the Journal to-day, stands TO win or
lose s1O.0O0,0O0 on the Chicago Board of
Trade. Operating through Sigmund Cru
ner, stock. cotton and sugar broker of
New York, Keene has obtained control of
about twenty million bushels Of the best
wheat In western storehouses and has ac-
cumulated q prodlgious line of futures.
The cash end of the deal is in charge of
SANDY" Eggleston and the speculative
end in charge of John Cudahy, both mas
ters in their speoialtles. Nearly all of the
contract" wheat in Chicago. amounting to
about ten million bushels, Is lodged
with Eggleston, and nearly as much
more high-grade property in st. Louis
Minneapolis. Duluth and other Western
centers is controlled by the same individual.
Besides his immense cash holdings III this
city, Eggleston has cornered about all the
elevator space in Chicago that can,
by any possibility, become available for the
storage of new receipts between now and
the end of May. He has accomplished this
feat by contracting with elevator compa-
MES to provide him room for several mil
lion bushels of grain which he expects TO
receive before the end of Nay. If, by
any chance. he should not get the grain
the elevator companies will not care. as
Eggleston has contracted TO pay full stor-
age rates on the space.

THE PRENDERGAST CASE.
Closing Speeches of Counsel Begun
The Prisoner Seemingly Tired.

CHICAGO, Dec. %.-Assistant Prosecut-
ing Attorney Todd occupied most of the day
in the PrendergaSt case with the opening
speech for the prosecution Mr.. Todd was
followed by Mr. Essex for the defense, who
was still talking when court adjourned, and
will resume his argument tomorrow. Mr.
Heron will follow for the defense, then Mr.
McGoorty for the defense. and Mr.. Wade
will make the final plea for Prendergast
The closing speech Of the trial will be by
A. 5. Trude for the State.
Through the arguments OF the day the
prisoner sat listless and apparently very
weary OF the proceedings, which
mean life and death to him.
Not once did he seek to in
terrupt Mr.. Todd, even when that attorney
in the course of his address. questioned the
Yeracity Of the prisoners mother and
brother. At no time did he seek To give ad-
vice TO the lawyers. he has been very
fond OF doing heretofore. Mr.. Essex con-
fined himself closely to the points of evil
dence on the insanity question. He said
that he believed that If Prendergast could
have gone to Washington at the time OF the
great interest In the silver legislation dur
summer that he would have killed Cleve-
land. He did not have the money TO get
there. and confined his attention toward
doing what his impulsive delusion told him
was for the best good of the local public

mind stood in his way OF becoming corpor-

BAKERS' STRIKE SPREADING.
Employees of Ten Chicago Establish
ments Now Out.

CHICAGO, Dec 26.-The bakers strike is
spreading and to-day six more bakeries
were compelled to shut down for lack of
men. This now makes ten bakeries out of
the sixteen in which the men are controlled
by the association in which the strike is on.
The principal bakeries whose men Joined the
strikers to-day are Adolph Wagner. Lyd-
stand 81 Anderson, Olsen & Stevenson, S. j.
AkerSon. The other two are small con-
Germs. The strikers claim tonight that the
men employed by William Kafitz, forty in
number. will join them tomorrow.
The strike seems to be running largely
by natiO 1a4I ies Saturday all Ih- strikers
were Germans and to-day they are all
Swedes. The bosses claim that they will
soon have all the men they need, and Heiss-
Ter * Junge, the largest bakery affected by
strike. to day secured, Ituo 1t much
effort, seventy-One new men to replace tie
men who walked out Saturday.
The men admit that the fact of a large
number of unemDloy ed bakers is a heavy
handicap against them, but claim that they
will win out. The bosses, the other
hand, profess to be we'll satisfied with the
conditions at present and say that they
simply cannot lose, as there are too many
men out OF work and desperately anxious
to secure 1t to cause them to suffer any
great inconvenience.

PAUL GIBIER'S EXPERIMENTS.
The Doctor Explains His New Agent in
the Cure of Epilepsy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-As stated briefly
last night, just one year ago, Christmas,
DR.. Paul Gibier, director Of the Pasteur
Institute in this city. and president of the
New York Psychological Society, read
scientific paper before the New York Coun-
ty Medical Society at the Academy of
Medicine on "a New Agent in the Cure of
Epilepsy" In this paper the Doctor pre-
sented the result of his experimental treat
ment upon a large number of epileptics,
some of whom had been intrusted to his
professional care by leading physicians Of
New York and other cities.
DR.. Gibier, after examining the formula
of the aansfusion treatment, gave the re-
suits that had been reached in the treat
ment of patients at Bellevue Hospital, and
also at the Pasteur Institute. In some OF
the cases pronounced benefit had been OBJ
served and the Doctor expressed the be-
lief that the new agency would prove valu-
able in therapeutics. 1t was disclosed that
the material used had been prepared from
the vital organs Of sheep, great care hav-
ing been exercised in securing absolute
purity in the matter employed. r resh prep
arations were necessary each day Some
of the patients had been subjected to this
treatment twice day, the injections hav-
ing been made hypOdermically, the punct-
joint. The aim is to supply the nervous
force with naturally prepared food from a
clean, healthy animal. which will at once
assimilate with the blood and nourish, but
not stimulate, the nervous system. In no
case were any bad effects noticeable as
result of the injections, thus indicating the
purity of the organic matter employed in
the TRANSMISSION process.
Practically the treatment is an applca-
ton of the Brown-Sequard method of in
oculation except that no claim is set forth
that aged persons can be rejuvenated so
as to be inspired with the physical char
acteristics of youth. Dr. Giber also ex-
planned at the time he read his first paper
that he intended continuing the treatment
of other cases of epileptics, and would at
some future time explain to the medical
society the results that had been reached
in the individual cases. This he did in his
second paper. which he read at the Acad-
emy of Medicine last night, and in which
the Doctor reports the results of his treat
ment in the course of the year. He spcci-
fies a number of cases In which the treat
ment has been successful, and sums up
the results of the treatment of epilepsy
by his system as being especially bene-
fetal in adding to the favorable effects de-
rivable from other therapeutic agents. and
claims that by its application in the ma
jority OF instances the Improvement is
most satisfactory.

CLEvELAND's LONDON ORGANS.



System-Case of Lese Majestic.
LONDON, Dec 26.-The Post, commenting
upon the meeting of Congress. says that
it has to consider the question of how to
keep the government going amidst the con-
fusion and disorder due to the corruption
which professional politicians have intro
duced into every department. The McKin-
ley system. 1t adds, has killed the goose
which laid the golden eggs for the treas
ury. The pension expenditure, 1t declares,
is a most scandalous item A hundred years
ago the American politician tried to rob
the fighting man of his battles, and now
his successors have been wasting money
on any scheme, so long as there was an
excuse for maintaining taxation. The fact
that some persons hoped that the repeal of
the Sherman law would restore commercial
prosperity shows how little real knowledge
the Republic possessed. After a course of
folly and corruption uneXampled in mod
ern history, Ii is ludicrous TO expect that q
vote of Congress will set things right. The
personal merit of President Clevelands 5 poll

To Settle IN Miners QunrreI.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 26.-P. A. Penna, of
indianapolis. vice president of the United
Mine Workers Of America, has called a
convention of the Missouri and Kansas dis
trict, to be held I'm Kansas City, Mo-, Jan.
3. The convention will attempt to settle
a quarrel in the organization growing out
of charges being made by national officers
against NJ. l.. Walters, president of this
division. 1t is charged that while he was
conducting the Kansas strike last summer
and receiving support from the national
organization he deliberately worked to un-
dcrmine the organization that supported
him to form new one. There is consider
able bitterness between Walters's friends
and his opponents and since the strike the
latter have seemed to gained control. The
question Of organizing Kansas and Mis-
souri, into separate branches will also be
brought UP.
