WILL THERE BE A WHEAT TRUST.
A Report That Northwestern Millers VIII
Combine.

A special from Minneapolis, Mum, says:
The -four trust has already been formed and
is now in operation. The scheme is said to
have originated with Hubbard, the big miller
of Mankato, this state. All the meetings up to
this time have been held in Chicago. Most OF
the spring wheat millers in Buffalo, Chicago,
st. Louis Milwaukee, Minneapolis and tribu-
tary points have finally gone into the organiza-
ton.
of the plan of operation or the names Of the
officers. number Of millers have no. gone
into the combine.
The understanding is that the deal Of prices
is to so into effect after the next harvest. The
information given above comes from man
who says he has personal knowledge OF the
existence Of the organization referred to- and il
is believed to be reliable.
One OF the Minneapolis millers says that the
report il true and adds:
1.-The trust will include the Minneapolis mill
ers without doubt. The negotiations have gone
so far that these mills here will be in it unless
the whole deal falls through. 1t is expected
that the Milwaukee mills will be in it too So
with the Duluth mills. II they be not in
cluded the whole deal will probably fall
through
The expected passage of the anti-option bill
has something to do with this proposed COM
blne OF millers. The bill will give the buyers
OF actualwheat an advantage over those now
enjoyed, in that the market will not be affected
by the speculation in wheat on margins. The
miiiers who use the wheat will then be the
heaviest traders in the article. strong COM
bination Of wealthy northwestern millers will
be almost able to control the wheat market at
all times

AFTER OYSTER PIRATES,
One of the Boats of the Chesapeake Navy
Captures d Dretge.

One OF the Boats of the Chesapeake Navy
Captures q Dredge.
The scarcity of oysters on account of the re-
cent freeze and the high price they command
in consequence has stimulated the dredgcrs in
the Chesapeake to take big chances in securing
the oyster, and the first brush with the oyster
police has already occurred, with the prospects
in view of fighting all along the line
The tight took place at Woman's Marsh, in
the Pokomoke sound. about two or three hum
dred yards within tho Virginia line, between the
sloop Mcdaniel, Capt. Thomas Evans, and the
Virginia police steamer Rodgers, Capt. Reed.
The Rodgers was sailing along in a dense fog
when the man at the masthead sighted vessel
ahead, in the act of dredging. not 100 Yards
away. Capt. Thomas Evans of the Mcdaniel
had no idea of surrendering, however, and
rolled his wheel up to give his vessel the full
benefit of the breeze
The crew of the Rodgers then began to fire.
Capt. thomas soon had to pull down his fore
sail. but soon after repenting OF this placed
his men in the forecastle and endeavored to
hoist the sail again.
While thus engaged he received shot in the
shoulder, which compelled him to let his boat
luff up il the wind.
Capt. Reed then ran alongside and his son
jumped on board with a line. which he made
fast.
Even then Capt. Evans would not give up.
but attempted TO cut the line. when young Reed
grasped shovel and drove him down into the
forecastle.
prize crew was put aboard, and the Nc
Daniel was taken to Tangier Island and from
that place to Pungoteague. where her sails were
removed and the vessel was scuttled.
Capt. Reed took this precaution in order that
his prize might not be stolen. Capt Evans was
released on bail His wound troubled him a
great deal after getting aboard the police boat,
and he could hardly stand.
From three to four hundred shots were de-
livered by the Rodgers, and the Mcdaniel pre-
scented the appearance of having been through
a siege.
Capt. Reed expects to have some hard fight
ing before the oyster season is over. He
counted forty-five boats dredging on Woman q
Marsh Sunday. and there will probably be $50
boats there soon, as a large fleet of boats is
anchored in Horse Hammock waiting for q
chance to sail for the forbidden ground.
The Rodgers, however, will be with them
The boats engaged in illegal dredging are from
various parts Of the bay and its tributaries, but
chiefly from Smiths Island, Baltimore and
Crisfeid.
