Chicago Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, March 13.-There was still much
hesitation in 4 > wheat trade at the re-
sumption of business for the week The
bull clique did not appear to be badly fright
ened. The great crowd of wouId-oe tail
ers were at standstill The uncertainty
about the visible supply report early in the
session made them wait. There was alto
gether firm tone to the market up to II
O'Clock. At this time elevator people, in
Guiding Armour, Counselmas and Severns,
TOOK the lead in selling May wheat. In few
minutes the price broke nearly 1c. The
July held by good buying at
the same time Early sales for May were
at IKE, to 1890, to nc, and the break be-
fore midday was to 7614c. July sold 7318c,
to 7314c, to 725sc, 10 731lG013$8c, and off to
725@c. There was a rally in May to 761Ic,
or better a little later. There was little
indication up to l o'clock of any important
move in the market for che day.
There was no important trading in corn.
Ream appeared to befeeling of the market
by buying some and bidding good deal
The May price dropped slowly from 4414c
early to 1880. July sold 4428c and back to
44l4c There was a dull market after the
decline. Corn closed at the low figures of
the session at 4135c March, 1890 April

The Sioux Food SBake.

II liz not generally known that the
james River valley was once the home OF
the only species Of snake which ever
furnished an abundant and nutritious
supply of food for the use Of man. Re-
cent and most exhaustive investigation
proves II to be true. This valley. IN which
no snake is now found, was once full
Of serpents called by the Sioux Indians
the food snake" by reason Of the size
and delicious flavor of its eggs.
By untold dozens these eggs were laid
IN pits followed out Of the soil for their
reception. AS a rule the PITS were from
five to eight feet deep, eighteen inches
In diameter and contained from 100 to 200
eggs, snugly packed at the bottom and
covered with dry grass and leaves. The
eggs were a little larger than those of
the domestic hen and more palatable, but
deadly poisonous.
Many of the Sioux, tempted by hunger
died from eating them. often they were
purposely exposed TO the discovery Of
invading enemies in order that they
should eat and die. Not only were these
eggs imbued with poison, but they were
equally peculiar I'm that they remained
fresh and palatabie in all weathers for
thirteen years and were finally Matched
by the cold OF the winter and not the
heat Of the summer
Three hundred years ago Blue Goose, a
mighty chieftaln, ruled the Sioux. His
wife discovered a mixture which was
perfect antidote to the poison I'm the
egg. The simple washing IN the mixture
rendered them perfectly wholesome.
Blue Goose was a lover OF war. He saw
that by revealing the secret Of the anti
dote the hunting az buffalo, then numer-
Gus, would largely cease. and that the
people. finding abundant food in the snake
eggs, would grow indolent and less war
like
He therefore formed a council Of several
discreet women, most solemniy pledged
to retain among themselves the secret
OF the antidote and TO use II only I'm
times Of famine or defeat in war. This
council was self-perpetuating and elected
new members only as vacancies occurred
by death. Never was the secret betrayed.

There IS a little tendency toward the

The new watered velvet is a beautiful

effects does not confine itself TO shifting
colors merely, but has invaded the realm

TURN ABOUr ~ HAWAII.
Prssident Cleveland Said to Believe In
Restoring Queen Liliuokaiani

A diplomatic bonbsheii, IL was fepo''eU
last night. will burst within the next Ie"
DAYS in the Hawaiian Islands. 1t IS re-
garded rs rot unlikely that the explosion
has already taken place. Tor il AiIilisIe I
While and Admiral irwin have arrived on
schedule tine Il is believed there IS more
excitement in Honolulu over the latest
phase Of Havaiian affairs than there Is III
Washington over elections.
The present administration Is salo 10 DC
a total disbeliever I'm the foreign policy OF
its predecessor, and especially IN us con-
duct Of Hawaiian affairs. Mr.. Cleveland
does not believe that this country should
mix I'D in matters concerning Iorclsh
powers, and IT will b his aim 10 uhdo
what the previous administration alo
when II deposed Queen Liliuokalanl ana
to restore the condition OF affairs existing
at the time when Minister Stevens ordered
marines from the Boston ashore at Hon
olulu and thereby practically accom-
p-1shed the Queens reinforcement.
Il is said tbet the conclusion 20 which
the administration has arrived has been
reached only aftcr a careful and unpreJu-
diced consideration Of the whole matter
by the President and Secretary Gresham,
VINO fully realize, Of course, that ii Is d
direct slap at their predecci ors. Thus
TAR details are lacking as 10 Just how the
old order Of things is 10 be brought about,
but there is said 10 be no manner of
doubt as 20 the intention TO restore the
status QUO ante.
IL Is supposed that the manner I'm which
Liliuokolani will be restored will be By
withdrawal Of support to the PROVISIONAL
government by the United states. Thus
far that government has been sustained
in power by the United States. In the
opinion Of President Cleveland and his
Secretary Of state the late administration
was not justified in indirectly forcing The
Queen from her throne. This opinion the
president has reached as the result OF a
most exhaustive consideration Of the facts
and reports concerning Hawaiian affairs
IL is said that he has given more attention
10 Hawaii than to anything save the
silver repeal bill since his Inauguration.
The belief prevails in official circles that
az that VIII be necessary 10 bring about
The restoration OF Liiuokolani will be 10
let il be known that the administration I'm
the United States does not flvOr the pro
Wisional government, which represents but
small part Of the people Of Hawaii II
IS doubtful If the United States would
resort 10 force TO restore the Queen. but
IL is expected that a withdrawal Of its
naval diplomatic and moral supper,
win be sufficient.
The representatives OF the provisional
government i'm this city, ii is said. are al
ready preparing TO leave the city, autici-
pating an announcement from the Presi-
dent adverse TO their cause.-Washingto
