BOSTON QUOTATIONS.
CHICAGo GENBRAL MARKET

Chicago, April 30.-Wheat, after about
fifteen minutes of weakness at the start,
became firm today and ended with a gain
Of u cent per bushel. After month s
steady liquidation of Nay wheat, it is to
be presumed that the last bushel has been
sold out which the holders were not pre-
pare TO take and pay for, if rendered, to-
morrow. While money is being pressed
upon carriers of wheat by lenders at S15
per cent, il does not seem likely that the
owners of the property will drop it at
present prices, unless it should be demon
strated later in the season that il spite
of drought, frost and diminished acreage
another phenomenally large crop is to be
the result of this years harvest.
An Increase Of 1855, 900 bushels of wheat
in passage, favorable weather in at least
two of the western wheat growing states
Kansas and Nebraska, and dull and weak
foreign markets, caused a dull opening of
the wheat at Is decline. The same in
fiuences caused a further depression, Il
for May and &c. for July. A recovery
soon followed, when it was found that the
demand for May wheat was more pressing
clearances were liberal and helped to con-
firm the strong feeling which had sprung
up. The Improvement continued until July
reached 60as060Is The spread between
May and July fiuctuated frregularly be-
tween 2 and ~ cents. For an hour be
fore the close the price kept within / Lie

ing the same time at discount of 2@21s

Corn was duh and closed 1-16c. lower
for July and a lower for May.
In the oat market, the shorts in May be-
came aware that the manipulators were
not quite done with them as is indicated

g of a cent decline which occurred at the
! opening.
! Provisions closed strong after weakness

The estimated receipts for tomorrow are:

an awkward, unrestful way to sleep.
but the antelope seems satisfied with it,
and, to his everlasting credit be it said,
that, thoroughbred as he is. he never
makes night hideous with snoring.
And oh, the monkey! Gregarious,
Sociable, sort O. human little wretch.
He likes company, whether he's asleep
or awake. And he chatters all night
long. Sometimes he is saying unpleas-
ant things to the keepers about over
crowded quarters and ill-digested pea
nuts, and again he is just talking Gar
nerese in his sleep and telling the rest
of the cage tales out of school. The
monkey-cage, with its score or more
of skinny and prehensible little villains,
back to back or cheek by jowl, is a
sight. It reminds one Of a f1re-escape
in the east side tenement district on a
Sitting summer night.
But last of all, before you go home
in the early morning, take a long look
AT a family of lion or tiger cubs, cud-
died together like kittens in cosy cir
|cles, sleepy and warm. That picture
alone is worth the price of admission.

MAKING CATHOLIC CONVERTS.
What a Reverend Thinks of the Am
grimes.

Atlanta, Ga. April So.-When Gov
ernor Northern appointed Hon. Pat
rick Walsh to the United States Sen
ate, the newspapers controlled by the
A. P. A. assailed him because the ap-
pointee was a Catholic. Rev. DR.. j.
B. Hawthorne, the celebrated Baptist
preacher, last night made the A. P. A.
the subject of his discourse: He as
sailed the organization as the enemy
of the state and of the constitution,
because it essayed to establish a re-
ligious test for office,
'They are acting the part of Judas
Iscariot," said he, "and the result of
their war upon religious liberty will
be to drive men into the Catholic
church.
The doctor then went on to say that
all good Catholics and all good Protes-
tants were equally devoted to the
country, and they should unite to
rush out an organization which was
un-American and visionary, The
Protestant preachers generally en-
dorse the stand taken by DR.. Haw-
thorne, and in their views they are
sustained by the press of the city.

IS CEMENT FIRE PROOF.
An Architectural Journal Says 1t Is
defective.

Defective.
The city and county officials f'atter them
selves that they are making the joint
city and county building absolutely fire
proof, and their claims seem well founded.
The inside construction of the great build
ing is certainly as nearly perfect as hu-
mans are now building, but according to
the Architect and Builder concrete work
speaking of the effect of fire on concrete,
says:
Concrete is often used as a f1reproof
building material, and as such is common
ly considered a safe material for walls or
foundations which may be built for that
purpose. A few experiments will demon
strate its unreliability in this respect
Take a piece Of dry and hardened concrete
work, such as is used in walls or founda-
ton, and break it into three parts or
Jumps, leave one in its original state and
place the other two pieces in the fire,
where they should remain at a light red
heat for five to fifteen minutes, according
| to size; then remove both pieces, place one
| to cool naturally and the other in water
| to cool. When cold and removed, it will
! be found that the one naturally cooled
will crumble easily and the one cooled in
water will crack and fall apart with very
slight pressure.
Some two years ago we had an exper-
| fence with concrete walls, where the in
terror of tNyvo-story building had been
destroyed by fire We recomniended that
| the walls be taken down and rebuilt but
it was decided to repair them. Where the
! fire was light, but little damage was done
but near the base of the walls, where the
| burning brands had fallen and the fire
| generated the greatest heat, was a strip
all round that had crumbled away, leav-
| ing the walls at this point only about
half their original thickness. The most
pronounced of the disintegrated concrete
work was cut out and brick work built
| in; soon afterwards the exterior portion
of the walls showed signs of giving way
! whereupon sections were cut out anG
built in with brick AS time passed the
walls in the other portions also began tc
show the disintegrating effect of the fire
on concrete work.
| We wish more particularly to direct the
attention of the officers of the various fire
| departments to the danger which may at
| tend concrete work, especially where the
| basement or foundation portion of the
walls has been built of such material anC
| which in turn supports brick walls three
| of more stories in height.
In many cases the concrete work is
PLACED where the, fire and steam together
| will tend to weaken the support, and il
a moment, without warning, the walls
may come tunbling down over the fire
men, repeating the horrors frequently de
| picted by the press.

ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.
Several Amendments Made and the
House AdjOurns.

Several Amendments Made and the
House AdjOurns.
Washington, April 9O.-When the
House, met at noon today, Mr.. Meikle-
john, of Nebraska, called up the Sen
ate bill for the construction of bridge
across the Niobrara near the town Of
Nebraska City, Neb., and it was
passed.
At 1927, the House went into com
mittee of the whole to consider the
army appropriation bill.
Mr.. Cultivate offered a committee
amendment that no appointment of
assistant acknowledgements, with the
rank of major. should be made until
the number of officers in that grade
had been reduced below four, and that
hereafter there should be only four
officers in said grade, and that fur
ther promotions in adjutant-general,
paymasters and smaller branches
should be filled from the next lowest
grades. The amendment was agreed
to by a vote of 40 to So.
The appropriation for the purchase
of machine guns, improved musket
calibre, was raised from $4,000 to
$50 900.

ments was reported to the House, and
at Sill p m. it, passed.

Want More Time.

San Francisco, April 3O.-The Chi

to memorialize Congress for a further
extension of time for registration I'M
der the McCreary act. Unless their
prayer is granted, the registration
books will close on Thursday next.
Chinese call attention to the fact that
every incoming steamer brings many
Chinese whose sole purpose in return
ing is to register, and that on the
steamer Oceanic, which arrived here
on Saturday, there were over 5O0 Chi.
nese, who want to register, many of
whom will not be permitted by the
customs officers to come ashore be-
fore the time will have expired.

WHAT Is A MERCHANT?
Judge Morrow viii Decide the Cues
ton Today.


San Francisco, April 30.-United
States District Judge Morrow was to-
day asked to give a judicial definition
of what constitute Chinese merchants.
The rush of merchants" from
China, intent on getting here before
registration ceases on May 8, has re-
suited in a clash over the interpreta-
ton of Attorney-General Olney's defin-
ition of what is a. merchant under the
act of Congress. Quite a number of
merchants were recommended to be
discharged, to which the United
States attorney took exception, as
they did not come up to the attorney
generals definition of what consti-
tuted members of the Celestial mer-
camille community
After hearing the arguments of sew
eral lawyers interested in landing pas
sengers on the Oceanic and other YES
sells. Judge Morrow today took the
problem under consideration.

ROYAL LABOR COMMISSION.
Duke of Devonshire's Report Has
Been Agreed Upon.

London, April 3O.-The Royal Labor
commission has agreed upon the re-
port compiled by Duke Devonshire.
He says he could not recommend the
direct establishment of boards of con-
Citation and arbitration by the state,
but a central department having means
to procure accurate information might
do much to promote the more rapid and
universal establishment. The opinion
is expressed that the difficulty in find
ing suitable arbitrators would be over
come by. giving a public department
power to appoint the arbitrator. The
report considers it no advantage to
institute a special labor department,
but advocates government inquiry
with a view of remedying the con-
fusion in administration acts dealing
with sanitary regulations and hours Of
labor for women and children.
