callent.
CHICAGO. April 17.-Wheat. after a
weak start, became strong today, and
held firm until neal the end of the SEES
sion, closing weak and tired, with May
unchanged and July sc lower than yes
terday. Kansas rains figured in the
opening weakness, crop damage in Cali
fornia caused the interval OF firmness,
and some selling at the flush caused the
weary close.
Corn was firm, closing 4@asc higher,
and oats gained sc.
Provisions were weak, losing yeSter
days advance.
More rain in Kansas was the first
influence upon the wheat market. May
opened &c off at 6014c, and in very
short time 1t touched 60c. or about &c
below yesterdays closing quotation.
July, which rested at 625sc on the day
before, started at G21sc and sold off to
62c. Following a decline there was a
lively rally, which in thirty minutes
had advanced May to 601sc aud July 10
62$4c. The offset 10 rain in Kansas. which
caused the jump, was the continuance
of the drought in California.
A San Francisco grain dealer writes
as follows: "Weather still dry; crop
prospects fair; rain within ten days
will make good crop of wheat"
One message was dated from San
Francisco and read as follows: Wheat
in the Salinos valley fit only 20 burn;
West side of San Joaquin valley
ruined" Another telegram from Port
land, Ore, read: "California crops
failure on account Of drought. Oregon
aid Washington prospects excellent"
Still another San Francisco dispatch
giving the weather up to date said:
VERY dry; no signs of rain; hot north
winds: look for sensational advice here
tomorrow in wheat market"
The market Surged up and down be-
tween 6015c and 60$lc for time OH the
foregoing and then rose for moment

STARTERS AND CONDUCTORS.
Two Railway Organizations at Log
gerheads.

Two Railway Organizations at Log
gerheads.
At the meeting of the members of the
Mutual Aid Society of the North Hudson
County Railway Company, held in Union
Hill last night, to determine whether they
should take into their organization as a body
the North Hudson County Railway En-
ployes' Association, nothing definite was
done. A motion, however, was made by
Charles Berger to take in any one of the
members who the society thought would
be beneficial to the organization. The
motion was carried. Nothing else
of any Importance was transacted, and the
meeting adjourned until the second Wednes-
day in March. There is quite some bitter
feeling between the two societies, and it is
said that if they unite, the Employees Asso
citation, which has the largest membership
although it is a later organization, viii run
the society to suit themselves. This is what
the Mutual Aids will not have, and for that
reason the majority of them are bitterly OPP
posed to union. The majority of the starters
are members of the Employees Association
and some of the conductors who are MEM
bers of the Mutual Aid Society claim the
starters are trying to brighten them into
uniting. The reason the employees are SO
anxious to unite with the Mutual Aids is,
the Mutual Aids lave a large benevolent
fund. At the next meeting the question will
be brought up again.

MAYOR WANsBR's TWO vEToEs.

One in Relation to Inspector Null
doOn-The other Water Mains.
Mayor Wanser has sent to the Board of
Finance two more vetoes, which will engage
the attention of the members Of that board
next Friday night. The vetoes are of reso-
buttons adopted by the Board of Finance a
week OF so prior to the time the city was
given a shaking up by the preferment of
charges against the members of the Street
and Water Board.
The first resolution vetoed is one which
directed the Comptroller to withhold his
signature from all warrants for salaries or
other purposes drawn on the sidewalk ac-
count by the Street and Water Board. At
the time OF its passage the Street and Water
Commissioners were undergoing trial. As a
result, the Mayor requested Martin Finck,
clerk of the Board of Finance not to present
was over and decision rendered. Clerk
Finck complied with the request and a
few DAYS e filed the resolutions with the
Mayor. In his veto the Mayor states that
he does not believe the board has the right
to direct The Comptroller to withhold his
signature from warrants drawn on accounts
over which the Board of Finance has no
control. The second resolution vetoed was
passed at about the same time as the fore
going one. 1t notified the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners that no
more warrants or claims would be
paid for the laying Of water
pipe, extension of water or purchase
Of water pipe through which it proposed
to distribute Passaic water unless the Board
of Street and Water Commissioner did all
the work by contract.
ssIhe Mayors reasons for vetoing this reso-
luton are said to be that in laying water
pipes and extending water mains it would be
a waste of money to advertise for bids, as
the work lone under this head is known as
patch work. The vetoes will be received by
the board on Friday night and laid over for
action for two weeks.

Ex-AssEMBLYMAN MURPHY DEAD
Succumbed This Morning, h Re-
/ s..lf az a Sauara CnId

suit of a Severe Cold.
James Murphy, who has for years kept a
saloon on Newark avenue near Second street,
died this morning at the age of thirty-four
years. Murphy represented the Third As
sembly district in the Legislature of 1890,
beating his Republican opponent, Midiige.
Prior to that he had served a term on the
County Board of Freeholders. He was born
in Ireland, April z, 1860, and came to this
city when only three years old. He was
educated here and never had any other resi-
dence than Jersey City. Mr.. Murphy dur
ing his term in the Legislature distinguished
himself on one occasion in reference
to some 'sstrike' bills he had intro
duced. When these came up before
the House for consideration, Leader Fred
G. Marsh moved that their consideration be
postponed until July 4, practically shelving
the measures.
'sDon't do that with me bills, y pleaded Mr..
Murphy. They'll get sunburnt.
Ever afterward the term "sunburnt"
stuck to the legislator, whose concern for the
fate of his bills amused the House.
Since the expiration of his legislative
duties Mr.. Murphy took little part in poll
tics. Some weeks ago he contracted q severe
cold, which terminated fatally. He was
very much liked by his friends, who speak
highly of his many sterling qualities. He
leaves a widow and a small family.

FROM CHINA I'M JAPAN.
Interesting News Received by Wa,
of Vancouver.

of Vancouver.
VAN CoUvER, B. O., Feb. Is, 1S94.-The
Canadian Pacific steamer Empress of China
brings Chinese advices as follows:-Foreign
residents of Hongkow have addressed a let
ter to the former residents of Picking re-
garding the Sungpu massacre, in which they
ask for full inquiry, and deplore the fact
that several innocent persons have been
made to suffer for the crime.
The telegraph steamer Recorder has re-
turned to Singapore after surveying a route
for the proposed new cable from Labuan to
Hong Kong. Pa all the soundings taken the
greatest depth was shown to be 1890
fathoms, and the temperature at this depth
was registered at 80 degrees.
Native reports say that a very severe
earthquake occurred at Oh-Kuk-Su-Mog-
lola, close to the Siberian frontier, and
about fifty miles south Of the Baikal, which
is a volcanic region, on the oath, Goth and
9th of December. The shock on the Goth
was a terrible one. the whole district being
devastated and a great number OF lives be-
ing lost.
Japanese advices were received as fol
lows:-Matsuoka Koki has been appointed
Vice Minister for Home Affairs. Japanese
coal, says an Indian newspaper, is beginning
to attract considerable attention. A recent
large shipment of it in Bombay has been
thOiO Us, AAA n "OiA SPOhOA - xiv = A.
announced that Geographic instructions
have been received for its shipment to Eng
land. This is literally 'taking Goals to
Newcastle" but japanese coal is nearly 30
per cent. cheaper than Welsh coal landed at
Bombay, and its consumption is only 81 per
cent. higher; SO that, if it keeps up its quail
ity, it should nave a future before it in
these days of strikes.
Viscount Acki, Japanese Minister at
Brazil, will be, it is stated, appointed Min
lister to England.
The japanese have become sufficiently
civilized to resort to bomb throwing in
order to get revenge IN their enemies. Re.
