CHICAGO, April 1.-THE bull clique in
the wheat market was after big game to-
day, and apparently Dagged some of it.
The famous plunger Ed Partridge
seemed to be the person aimed at, and he
was numerically crowded. Partridge
was found to be sleek in responding to
the calls for margin which the brokers
showered upon him, and forthwith they
bought in lot Of Pardridge's wheat
Partridge sent to John Cudahy, the os-
tensible head of the bull clique, suing for
settlement. He was accorded one of
from two to three million bushels at 81
cents, it is said, which it is thought leaves
Partridge poorer man by S750,00O. But
Partridge is not secure yet. He is under
stood to be still short of enough to lose
him another million besides the losses of
to-day.

A CLEVER RUSE,
How Riverside is Liable to BE Left on
the County sent.


the County sent.
SAN DIEGO, April ll.-An entertaining
story comes from the new Riverside
County of clever ruse to locate the
county seat at Menifee instead of at River,
side. 1t had been supposed that nothing
could keep the latter from getting it, but
something may. Manifee is on the
plains, between Perris and Elsinore. al
most in the center Of the new county.
The managers of the project secured
enough land at Menifee to cut it into
5000 town lots, all numbered. They
drew up contracts providing that the per-
son to whom a lot may be assigned shall,
in consideration of 81, become an owner
in the event of Menifee becoming the
county seat. These contracts have been
given to the working people and others
at Riverside who do not own land there.
the expectation being that they will vote
to put the county seat at Menifee and
thus make their lots there worth several
hundred dollars at a clip. a few hun
dred votes will, it is argued, settle the
question.

CYCLONE IN KANSAS.
Three Towns Reported to Have Been
Laid in Ruins.

HIAwATHA Kas.l, April u.-Meager
dispatches received here tonight from
the southern part of Kansas state that a
cyclone passed over that part of the State,
and three towns, Willis, Everst and
Powhatan, were laid in ruins. AS COM
munication with those points is slow it is
impossible to estimate the loss of life or
property. 1t seems almost certain that
some lives were lost. and it is feared but
few in the villages named escaped injury.
Hail broke hundreds of windows, and it
is feared has spoiled the prospects of
fruit crop this year. Near Robinson, the
l4-year-old son oil f. 2. Potion, wealthy
merchant, was struck by lightning and
instantly killed.

Commits Suicide.
BOWLING GREEN Ky, April 11.-Last
night George Bradley, a well-known
negro, flew into rage about something
his 7-year-old boy had done and beat the
child to death. Horrified at what he had
done, Bradley went down town and pur-
chased some rat poison and went back
home. He and his wife both took a dose
of it. The poison did not operate fast
enough for Bradley, and he procured
razor and cut his throat, nearly severing
the jugular. The neighbors this morning
found the lifeless body of the boy on the
floor, and in bed together were Bradley
and his wife, the former bloody and gasp
ing for breath and the wife in fearful
agony from the poison. Bradley will die,
but it is thought the woman will recover.

were thrown back, and the carnival of
1898 had opened. Never before did the
great building present such a magnificent
appearance. 1t is one bower of beautiful
foliage and fragrant flowers. The tim

moss, and which, after winding around
and around the pillars and cross tho
beams, trails gracefully down toward the
floor. Fan and date palm leaves in largo
numbers are arranged here and there,
and go toward making a background,
and festoons of flowers swing gracefully
from arch to arch. The display is com
pleted by the exhibits. which surpass by
far those of the previous year.
Interest centers in the procession of
decorated vehicles and the battle of flow
ers tomorrow. The principal buildings
held, are being decorated, and by to-
morrow the street of business houses
will be transformed into a shaded drive.
Stores, banks, everything, will close, and
the day will be given up to pleasure.

Excitement Over a Report of Their
Seizure by Japan

MADRID, April u.-Much excitement
has been caused here by dispatch to the
effect that Japan has seized the Pelew
Islands, group of islands in the North
Pacific, claimed to belong to Spain, $50
miles east of the Philippine Islands, at
the western extremity of the Caroline
Archipelago. The Governor of the Philip
pine Islands has sent cable dispatch
asking for reiuforcements, whether with
the object of attacking the japanese or
not is not stated. The Pelew Islands have
about 10000 inhabitants and are very

encroach on the Spanish possessions in
the Pacific. The affair may lead to grave
