WHEAT IN A FURRY.
1t Was the Most Exciting Day
Ever Known in Chicago.
Small Fry Rush to Cover and Are
Allowed to Make Private Settle
ment With the Combine.
Special to The MoRN1ss CALL.

CHICAGO. March 29.-There were lively
times ON the Board of Trade shortly after
noon to-day. In view OF the evident cor
ner in May wheat here, which has held that
future far above parity with other markets
for several weeks aud has rendered ship
ment impossible, thereby filing all the ele-
vators in the city to bursting, the board OF
directors at secret session last night de-
cided that q storage emergency exists.
Extra emergency houses will now be cre-
ated as applications are made and the ne
cessity presents itself.
This fact was not known until about
noon. Meantime in the early trading, with
Kansas and the whole West clear, according
to the weather map, and no prospect of
ram, the shorts were excited and pushed
prices up until the clique began realizing
heavily. The early advance was aided by
statements that Secretary Mohler of Kansas
had said tue good rain reports throughout
the State were bogus and private reports
from that State were bad.
When the clique began to sell, however,
and the action of the board became known
there was great rush TO buy and prices
went up in great jumps, tumbling within a
few minutes from s2A cents to 1914 cents.
But at the bottom the shorts who sold on
there was quite a rapid recovery 10 70 cents.
Later the market weakened again and
closed at 1875 cents.
The clique has been selling for two or
three days, and it was supposed had got rid
of over 100000 bushels. To-day business
was almost paralyzed for time, and
rumors were current of large private settle
ments by the clique.
In the excitement of the break much
wheat was thrown on the ket on stop
loss orders.
At the same time that " heat broke pro-
visions took a tumble. lard went of over 81
a tierce, pork % cents per barrel and ribs Is
cents hundred.
John and Michael Cudahy, rich pork
packers. are at the head Of the bull CLIQUE,
with many other wealthy Chicago and New
York men. The deal was the most gigantic
in the history of the grain trade, and mighty
accumulations of capital were arrayad
against each other. 1t is said the CLIQUE
controls 1l,0o0 600 bushels of contract wheat,
and is ready to take as much more if stor-
age room can be found for it.
Tie elevator proprletors are emptving
lines of corn. oats and barley into the holds

The following is a comparison with high
prices here to-day. Wheat was IS cents
lower in St Louis. 1917 cents in Duluth, II
cents in Minneapolis. 1e cents in Toledo
and cents in New York.

HE MUST EXPLAIN.
Bad Days Ahead for Mr..
Roach.
RATHER AN UGLY FIGHT.
There Will Be Counter-C Changes and
More Senators May Be Drawn
Into the Muss.
RATHER AN UGLY FIGf
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator White
arrived to-day from New York and within
the week ne will leave for home. He is not
in sympathy with the proposed investiga-
ton of the private character of Senators
whose alleged misdeeds were committed
long ago and whose reformation" has been
complete enough to seat them in The Senate.
The proposition 10 Investigate the charges
against Senator Roach has been talked over
among a number of Republican Senators
since they were given such prominence in
the dispatches to New York. The Republi-
cans thought it was decorous to wait until
Senator Roach himself had an opportunity
to rise 10 question of privilege and make
some explanation. This Senator Roach has
not done, aud the Republican Senators were
not disposed to wait as patiently as the
Democratic Senators waited for the speech
of Senator Quay, in which he denied the
truth of certain charges against him.
speech or call for an investigation is
usually made by any Senator against whom
specific and serious charges are made, but
Senator Hoar believed that time enough had
been given Senator Roach to make such
speech or motion and that the dignity of the
Senate required prompter action than in
the case of the charges against Senator
Quay.
1t is reported that the friends ut Senator
Roach will bring counter-charges against
other Senators and that an ugly fight will
be opened mp. full of personalities. Some of
the Democratic friends Of Senator Roach
are disposed to take the view that the Leg
lslature of North Dakota passed upon the
Senator's early life when it elected him, and
that the Senate cannot properly take cogniz-
ance Of matters which do not arise after he
has been elected.
The debate over the contested elections is
likely TO last week, and no one can pre-
dict the length of the struggle over the
offices of the Senate and over the charges
against Senator Roach. The prospect is that
the Senate will be kept busy for three weeks
to come, and perhaps longer, without wait
ing for any nominations from the White
House or spending much time in executive
session.
The possibility of a report from Mr..
Blount on the condition OF the Hawaiian
Islands has caused some discussion as to
whether the Senate might not be called to-
gether in May or June to consider the new
draft of an Hawaiian treaty. The work
which was cut out to-day may keep the
Senate here long enough for Mr.. Blount to
return to San Francisco and submit his re-
port to the Senate for action before the
present session ends.

NO TRUTH IN 1T.
Panama Railroad People
Content.
PACIFIC MAIL STANDS ALONE.
There Have Been No Overtures Made,
and There Are Not Likely to
Be Any.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

New YORK, March %. The Herald says:
There have been rumors for some time that
the Panama Rqilroad Company and the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company may yet
reach an agreement. The Pacific Mail
Steamship Company is preparing a revised
proposition, which it will submit to the
railroad. in which it is believed it will make
various concessions. The railway company
denies all Knowledge of such overtures.
Secretary ODpenhem said in an interview
that they had given their ultimatum. The
North American Steamship Company has
not yet signed the contract with the Pan
anna Railroad Com pany, ostensibly because
II has not thus far been able to secure YES
sells such as are called for.''
General Newton, president of the Panama
Railroad, was seen this afternoon regarding
the rumors published in the several morn
Ing papers that the Pacific Mail is nego-
uatlng with the Panama Company with
view 10 securing certain concessions as to
lstAmus freight and passenger rates, which
would probably lead to new contracts. He
said: The rumors are not founded on
1aet No oVertures nre now being made Of
this sort by either side, though up to Janu-
Rry the Panama Company did make re-
peated propositions to the Pacific Mail.
The whole situation is absolutely un-
changed as far as either is now concerned.
cannot imagine how the story arose, per-
hsps on Wall street. where it was circulated
yesterday to influence stocks in some direc-
tons"
As to other rumors printed here that the
North American Navigation Company will
perhaps be unable to perfect the contracts
withlthe Panama Company because it is un-
able to get steamers, Newton said it was
absurd. and that denial is surely unneces-
sary in San Francisco. where steamer
has just sailed for the isthmus to connect
with the Alamo, which sailed from here
this afternoon. The company had all the
steamers now needed. and is abundantly
able to get others when wanted.

NEW RUSSIAN TREATY.
Neither More Nor Less Objectionable
Than a Number of Others.

WASHINGTON, March 29-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations held
meeting this morning, and 1t Is understood
that while the committee was favorable to
making public the text Of the Russian
treaty its members were unable to agree
upon favorable report by reason of dis
agreements relative TO the correspondence
accompanying the convention. A we'll
known Senator, champion of general
humanitarian legislation. stated that, when
published, the treaty would be found TO be
neither more nor less objectionable than
several other treat ties that have been in
operation for some years. The criticisms,
he says, are due to miseonception of the
effect of the instrument based upon garbled
extracts In surreptltious publications Of the
treaty first sent to the Senate.
