Mccarthy EXTORT|ON CASE.
Grand Jury May Consider the
Evidence To-Day.
Foreman Oelrichs Has q Long Talk
with MIR. Lindsay.

The Observation-Disclosures affair will
probably be taken up by the Grand Jury
to-day, and 1t is said that more effectual
pressure will be brought to bear upon
the jurors to sift the matter to the bot
tom. The January Grand Jury was in
duced to drop the investigation, but Supt.
Byrnes announced that he would make
every effort to bring about the indict-
ment of the men in connection with the
alleged extortion and blackmail charged
by Mrs. Mccarthy.
Foreman Herman Oelrichs. of the pres
ent Grand Jury, was closetted with Assist
ant Distrlct-Attorney Lindsay for half
an hour this morning. He arrived at the
General Sessions Building at 10 O'Clock.
one hour before the Grand Jury con-
venes, n the two held a conference be-
hind bolted doors.
When Mr.. Oelrichs came out he had
under his arm a bundle of typewriter
testimony. and Immediately went into
the secret chambers of the grand inquis-
itors.
1t 3 said that the matter will be pushed
from the fact that evidence of careless
ness from the Yorkville Police Court
turned up yesterday. Papers in Excise
cases, which should have been in the
Dlstrict-Attorney's possession months
ago. were only received by him yester-
Gay. Conrad NJ. Smyth, who until re-

lean Down to 66H.
May wheat is steadily dropping. 1t is
at a lower price than any of the mem
bers of the Produce Exchange ever recol-
lect Of seeing before.
The lowest price to-day was 66 7-S cents,
as against CT 7-S cents yesterday. Chi
Cages low mark yesterday was 81 "a
cents. To-day 1t went off t~hree-uarters
of a cent to 81. There Is little or no ex-
element on the Produce Exchange in
this city, as the brokers accept the state
of affairs as natural under the existing
circumstances.
Just at this time" said Henry T.
Hebert, one Of the big dealers, lit is
harvest time in other countries and they
are marketing their product. So you
see this forces us to sell our wheat
pretty cheap. The cheapness Of silver
has little or nothing to do with the
prices of wheat. Heavy exports are
being made from Argentine Republic
and India, and until these exports cease
MAY wheat will remain very low.
"Of course, bad weather may change
the status of affairs, but at present, the
market Is yielding to the old law OF
supply and demand. Our visible supply
comprises over 80, 00O,0 900 bushels, and u
exports are very light. May wheat now
Is lower than any one ever
Mr.. Hobart said that very few large
deals were being made. Everyone seem
ed to be waiting for something to turn
up. 1t is said that "Old Hutch predicts
that May wheat will yet sell In Chicago

DIDN'T HURT THE AQU|DABAN.
Sharp Duel Between the Battle
Ship and the Rio Forts.
Firing stopped to Allow tho Leib-

The Belgian steamship Leibnitz, Capt.
Graham, arrived this morning from Rio.

Jan. Is. She has on board H. w. Fitch.
Chief Engineer of the United States
cruiser San Francisco; w. Horrell. ma
chinist of the cruiser Charleston, and
George F. Harrison, one of the Charles
toms seamen. The men could not stand
the climate in Rio and had to be sent
home on sick leave. The San Francisco
had been at Rio only three days when
the Leibnitz left.
Capt. Graham and the others on the
Leibnitz saw a picturesque bit Of fight
Ing the morning they sailed out Of Rio
harbor. The Aquidaban, the great battle
ship Of the insurgents, re-entered the
harbor at s o'clock that morning. The
soldiers on duty in the forts were all
asleep. and the Aquidaban could have
gone to her anchorage without trouble
had her commander so desired. But
the insurgents think the Aquidaban Is
proof against shot and shell, and to
show their contempt for the Govern

Governments followers who were weak

Graham says.
1t awakened them all right, Capt.
Graham says. and soo it was hailing
bullets did considerable damage, but the
shots from the forts seemd to drop
harmlessly from the armored sides Of
the big battle ship.
Forts and ships were blazing away at
each other when the Leibnitz teamed
out from her dock. The rival forces
ceased firing. as the steamship APP
between the hostile forces. When she
was well clear of them the firing was
resumed. and the booming of the guns
could be heard aboard the Leibnitz until
she was well out at sea.

serve their illustrious compatriot from
want. Notwithstanding all reports to
the contrary, the De Lesseps had
actually been reduced to penury, and
their situation was most precarious.
Not only all the shares which Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps possessed in the Suez
Canal company, but even his fees as
director, the annuity assigned to him
personally by the company, and all the
money he had been able to lay aside,
were attached by the liquidators of the
Panama bankruptcy. The only re-
sources that remained at the disposal
of the countess were the house which
she owned in the Avenue Montaigne
and the Chateau de la Chesnaye, both
of which were more source of eX-
pense than of economy, and were
mortgaged up to the very hilt besides.
With the object of 'averting all dan
ger CT seizure by the creditors of the
the Suez company has been made in
favor of the countess and of the thir-
teen children of the count. The two
eldest of these are Charles and Victor,
who are the sons of his first wife. Of
the eleven children of the present
Countess de Lesseps three are serving
in the army, one is married to that
Count de Gontaut-Biron whose fnan-
cial difficulties were theme of much
discussion in the Partisan press two
years ago, and the remainder are still
dependent on their father and mother
for care and maintenance. Meanwhile
the grand old Frenchman, now in his
eighty-eighth year, passes his exist
ence in sort of semi-somnolent con-
dition in the arm chair, which he only
leaves for his bed. He can no longer
walk, he has become stone deaf, and
when he is not gazing in silence at his
children he reads newspapers, care
being taken to select those which con-
tain no uncomplimentary references to
his name. Having lost all notion of
time, those placed before him are most
ly of dates four and five years ago,
when he was still in the heyday of his
glory, and when the press, still richly
subsidized by the Panama managers,
was never weary of referring to him
as 1.-THE greatest and most illustrious
Of all Frenchmen." To this day
no one, not even the countess, can
say with ANY degree of gertrude
whether he has any knowledge or
even inkling of the misfortunes that
have overtaken himself and his son
Charles. At any rate, he has given no
evidence thereof, and there is gen
eral disposition to hope that his once
grand intellect passed into its present
somnolent state in such a manner as to
have spared him any such sorrow.
