JULY WHEAT.
Low Water Mark Was Reached on Yes
rerday.

Low Water Mark Was Reached on Yes
Ierday.
CHICAGO, June 30.-The low water mark
in price of wheat set again today. Sep
TENDER was comparatively steady, but
July very weak, Notwithstanding the ex-
tremely low price, being IL cents lower
than deferred option, equal to 40 per
cent. for money. The selling of July
was due largely to the report that 5000,
600 bushels OF 'skin" wheat was here,
added to rumor that Paris bank was
in trouble. At the bottom Armour came
into market, bought July and sold Sep
TENDER, steadying the farmer. The re-
ported advance of 6 points in silver in
New York also helped. July, which
62H, dropped Ia to 611s, recovering to
62H.
Scared spectators had to pay so per
cent. interest today for money to carry
wheat. Liquidation was on stupendous
scale. 1t was the last day before July de-
livery, and numbers of unIucky traders
had to hold onto their July wheat hop1ng
for some bulge or squirt on the bull side
to let them out. When the last day ar
rived and September was at too much OF
premium TO buy, the only thing left was
to throw July wheat on an already sick
market. This made a sensational turn
and resulted in knocking prices to point
never before reached. The low record
has been broken many times in the past
six weeks, but at no time 8 abruptly as
| today. after a session of great excite
meut, July closed 14(d1% lower than yes
terday, though Yesterdays figures were
the lowest previously known in the his

IRON AND STEEL WORKERS.
An Agreement Reached rs to the Scale
of Wages.

PITTsBURG, June 30.-The iron and
sheet steel scales were settled in confer
ence between masters and men on the
basis of last years. scale, subject to new
schedule in the event of a reduction in
the tin plate tariff. The settlement af-
fects IL, 900 men and twenty three mills in
various parts OF the country. The settle
ment is compromise, the masters want
ing 10 per cent. reduction. The con-
ference as tothe scale in other depart
ments was resumed this morning, and
must be settled today or the mills will
close tonight.
The fires in all the glass factories were
drawn today for the usual summer shut
down. The bottle plants will resume in
sig weeks, and the window glass plants
will open in September.
At midnight tonight the scale confer
eDce committee adjourned until tomor-
row without reaching an agreement. In
consequence all the mills governed by the
amalgamated association will be closed
tomorrow, and it is estimated that 80. 600
men will be idle in western Pennsylvania
until settlement is reached. The COM
mittee will resume its sessions tomorrow.
1t is learned at o'clock this morning
that Jones and Laughlins and Paint and

COLORADO RAILROADS.
All the Lines Laying OFF Trains Caused
by Mines Closing.
There VIII Probably Be No Extra Session
of the Legislature Calied-The
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Opinion.

DENVER, June 3d. Especial. = The
Denver, Leadville and Gunnison, the cor
porate name of the Union Pacific in Colo
RADIO, will be very directly afflicted by the
closing of the mines. Its officers estimate
the loss at rs per cent of its whole traffic
of about 5000, 900 a month. They say
that should suffering become apparent in
the mountain towns they will carry sup
plies at nominal figure.
A conservative estimate of the loss to
the Rio Grande road is 80 per cent. of the
gross earnings, or about $3.50, 900 month
and this will increase if the mines re-
main closed for any length of time.
The Colorado Midland will lose about
the same proportion of its earnings. The
roads have all commenced to lay off train
crews and have received orders from the
smelters and sampling works to accept no
ore shipments Even good ore. is not
taken as it cannot be handled in most
cases without silver and lead fux.
A meeting of bankers was held tonight
but the proceedings are kept secret. An
address reviewing the situation and ex-
pressing confidence is expected. The
first bank suspension for years took
place today when the Clear Creek County
bank of Georgetown closed with assets at
1897, GOO, liabilities 1888, 900. Inability to
realize on good security is the reason.
Attorney General Engley gave Gov
.ernor Waite an opinion tonight that the
proposed stay or general suspension law
is illegal under recent decisions of the
United States Supreme court as opposed
to the constitutional provision prohibit
| ing infringement of contracts. This will
probably knock out the extra session
though it may be called to change the at
tachment laws and consider public works
to give work to the unemployed
There is also a proposition to organize
large company to purchase silver bullion
on which certificates passing as currency
within the state would be issued.
Tomorrow morning the Republican will
commend Engly's opinion and denounce
the stay law as wild proposition SAVIOR
ing of reputation.
| The Rocky Mountain Neaos will condemn
the opinion as erroneous, quote Justice
Story and others, and demand the extra
session.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-It seems that
there is every reason to believe that all
speculations as to the time of the meeting
of Congress INDUCED in prior to one
pm. today. was guess, pure and SIM
pie. 1t is almost conclusively established
that the calling of the August session was
not even determined upon until after
midday today, and consequently could
not have been communicated to
any person in confidence or otherwise
days in advance. The plain facts appear
to be that the disturbances of values aris-
ing from the uncertainties of silver were
so alarming that Mr.. Cleveland was at
last compelled to acknowledge unexpected
contingencies necessitating an earlier
meeting of Congress than that which he
spoke of in his celebrated interview of
June 5.
The action of the British government in
India brought matters to crisis. Pre-
vious to that startling event Mr.. Cleve-
land manifested firm determination to
adhere to his plan of calling Congress in
September, but when today he found
kilograms on his table not only from the
eastern and middle states, but also from
the sonth and even from some of the
silver states, urging that Congress be
called together at the earliest day posi-
bic to end this; uncertainty, he determ-
ined to delay no longer. Even in taking
this action the president took steps so far
as he could to prevent It's being known
before the stock exchange closed, SO as to
avoid any appearance of exercising an
undue influence on the stock market.

WAS DIXON HYPNOTEED?
Henry A. Root Files His Answer
to the Charge.
A VERY SENSATIONAL CASE.
The Answer Exposes the Family Skele-
ton Long Hidden Away.
It Says the Complainant from Boyhood
Up Has Been n Common Drunkard
and That He Had Been Con-
fined in an Insane Asylum.

CHICAGO, June 30.-Attorneys today
filed the answer of Henry A. Root in an
action in which Root is charged with
having hypnotized Henry W. Dixon OF
Flushing, Long Island. and defrauded
him of large estate. The bill which
was filed last March made another SEN
sational charge against Root who is
we'll known as contestant of the DAVIS
will case of Montana. The answer ex-
poses family skeleton. 1t covers Roots
entire business relationships with the
Dixons.
He says James w. Dixon, complainant.
from boyhood till the time he was sent
from home by his father, Senator Dixon
of Hartford, Conn.,, and placed in charge
of Root in New York was a common
drunkard on the streets of Hartford; that
about week before the Senator died he
sent for Root, and discussing the I'M
Worthiness of his son, urged Root to pro-
tect the interests of his other son and
daughter against any attacks, legal or
otherwise, that might be made by James
w. after his fathers death.
That defendant kept this promise invi-
olate by mourning the hatred and ma
licious animosity of complainant, who at
different times made propositions to Root
to enter into an intrigue against his
sisters for an enforcement of unjust
claims and for proving that his father's
Will was obtained by virtue of the undue
influence of the sisters, all of which Root
refused to do.
In 1874 Root effected settlement with
complainant of all claims against the
estate and paid him SIS, 600. Since that
time complainant has endeavored to en-
force false claims, and because Root re-
fused to aid him has pursued him (Root)
with unnecessary malignity.
The answer states that at the time of the
death of his father, Henry Dixon, the al
legged victim of hypnotism was located in
private asylum in Connecticut where he
was sent by his father himself. Root
charges Dixon with having attempted to
levy blackmail and declares further that
he has preyed upon his weak minded
brother by threats and other devices.
