CHICAGO CHANCE.

CHICAGO. Dec. 15.-wheat bumped on "puts'' continuously during the early trading today, but with equal determination endeav- ored to force an opening through ''calls'' during the last half hour The business was light. The outsiders were out of the market, local specnlators controlling the market. May wheat was dull, but steady.
 Corn was weak with wheat early, and later took strength from that grain. Predictions Tor rain thEoughout the west for tonight and tomorrow lessened the prospects for heavy arrivals and made more emphatic the closing hrmness. May corn opened at 4es4e, sold be- tween 4e9s e 49S4 and 50Ac, closing at 50ls o 60he,. Aassc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was Ac per bushel higher.
 Oats-For quite thirty minutes after the opening today no trading took place in oats. The balance of the session did not exhibit much improvement, although some trensac- tions were recorded which showed that the direction was, as usual, the same followed by wheat and corn. The close was a shade higher Il an yesterday for May oats. Cash oats were firm, with prices unchanged.
 Proyisiops-There was no rellef to the inac- tivity generally prevailing to be found in the market. Prices started at decline from yes- terday. So little disposition to trade suc- ceeded the opening transactions that prices the balance of the session. The close was l2Hc lower tban yesterday for January pork, Dc lower for January larL and f0c lower for January ribs.

detailing the interview with the Queen.
in which she insisted that she must be
permitted to cut off the heads of her
enemies and confiscate their propertv.
was suppressed on the ground that its
publication would be incompatible with
the public interest. 1t is clear now that
the only interest it would have been in
compatible with was that of Mr.. Cleve-
lands project of restoring the deposed
Queen. By revealing the .sanguinary
character of that parsonage it would
have aroused SO much public indignation
that the State department would have
been compelled to despatch a.
steamer with special instructions to Willis
to stop further proceedings in the queen
restoring line. Cleveland wanted an
other chance to get Lilioukalani on to
the throne and therefore ne suppressed
Willis's despatch of Novemb Der 16.

JUDGE coFFlN'o FlKsT CASE :.
A Bluff That Was Called Down In afast
Humiliating Manner.

A Bluff That Was Called Down In Most
Illuminating Manner.
The following sboryis told of Timothy
Coffin, who was for a long time judge of
the New Bedford district: When very
young man, he was retained in a case of
sufficient Importance to bring out almost
every resident Of the town, so that
the little New Bedford courthouse was
packed when court was opened that
morning. Coffin had been secured as
counsel by the defendant. Although it
was his first attempt in open court, he
had made little or no preparation, think
ing that he could get through somehow
or other when the time came Thus,
when the counsel for the defendant came
into court that morning, he was greatly
surprised, and no less agitated, to see the
big crowd and realize the wide public
interest in the trial at hand. He saw
that he had looked upon the case too
lightly. The prosecution was strong,
and he had made not even a slight prep
aration.
To lose the case meant the loss of a
hoped for reputation. Could he afford to
commit this blunder by displaying his
ignorance of the case? How could heget
out of it? These were few Of the CUES:
tions that are known to have flashed
through the young lawyers head, for
afterward he himself told Of the awful
perplexity of the hour. Being a shrewd
inventor, he devised plan. AS soon as
the co17rt had haon calJe6 fn order and
the crier had said his little say he arose
and asked for postponement of the
trial, on the ground that he had just re-
ceived a telegram announcing the sud-
den and fatal illness Of his mother, who
resided at Nantucket.
Scarcely had the words Of this appeal
proceeded from the lips of young Coffin,
when an elderly woman quietly arose in
the balcony of the courtroom and gave
utterance to these words, Timothy,
Timothy, how many times have chas-
tised thee for lying?"
Timothy recognized the sound of that
voice only too well. It was that of his
mother. This being Timothy's first pub
lie case, the old lady had secretly come
up to New Bedford TO see how well her
son would do. Her presence was of
course totally unknown to him. This
further developments need not be record
ed here. Suffice it to say that Timothy
Coffin in after years made sure that his
excuses would not be thrown back at
him by any member of his own family

forces and his high sense of honor led
wrong which he believed had been COM
mitted. While questioning the correct
ness of his conclusion they have been
very profuse in their praises of what
they are pleased to call his thigh
moral sense" 1t is curious and sig
nifcant fact, however. that swhile this
high moral sense" has prompted him to
secretly intrigue for the overthrow of the
of Provisional government and the res
toration of the Queen, it has never
prompted him to recommend to Con-
gress to undertake the job. Yet fla
that he alleges, it was the business of
Congress to undo it. Indeed Congress
alone could undo it, unless the Provis-
ional government should see fit at Mr..
Cleveland's request to undo it itself.
Mr.. Cleveland has professed to think that
our minister at Hawaii brought disgrace
upon the country ny ursurping powers
that did not belong to him, and subvert-
ing through the forces of the U nited States
a government with which this coun-
try had no right to interfere. This being
the case why did not Mr.. Cleveland lay
before Congress The facts as he under
stood them, and Mr.. Blount's "impar-
tai" report and recommend to Congress
to. remove the disgrace and redress the
wrong? Why doesn't he do it now, after
it has been demonstrated that he cannot
redress the wrong unaided? If a wrong
was committed, as he alleges, it still re-
mains unredressed and unatoned for.
Why then, if it was his high sense of
honor which impelled him to send Willis
to Hawaii to restore the Queen, does he
not ask Congress to clothe Willis with
the power needed to accomplish his
mission? Is his high sense of honor sat
isfied with the feeble attempt that he
he has already made? When he wanted the
Sherman law repealed he ordered Con-
gress to repeal it. Why doesn't he order
it to reinstate the Queen?
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1894-01-16

The Boston Globe thinks the whole
Hawaiian correspondence should now
be deposited in an obscure pigeon hole
and allowed to pass into oblivion. The
Herald finds the subject too painful or
too insignificant to allude to at. ALL The
Springfield Republican thinks the latest
correspondence adds nothing new to the
public knowledge of the situation. In
one way or another all our esteemed
Democratic contemporaries seem inclined
to dismiss the subject as unworthy of
further public attention. Perhaps this
is not strange. Having set Mr.. Cleveland
up as an idol to be blindly worshipped,
having commended him to the public as
an infall1ble being who could do no
wrong nor make any mistake it is nat
ural that they should want to get out of
sight as soon as possible, evidence which
shows that after all he is only a very
common mortal prone to blunder like the
rest of mankind.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Or
PORTLAND, MAINE.

AT this festive season of the year, a
season at which each man vies with
his neighbor in the making of some gift
to the members of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, that
the. UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur-
ance should be kept in view. The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL,
and it is therefore worthy of note by
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
beneficence and soiidity Life Policy
which will in the event of the death of
the bread-winner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. 1t dose
not require any very vivid flight of
Imagination to comprehend the possibili-
ties of fifty-fold return consequent up
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life
Insurance; whereas, similar outlay up
on something more pleasing to the eye
and possibly of a perishable or breakable
nature could not afford the solid and
lasting benefit to be obtained by and
through policy in the Union Mutual,
possession which no family should lack
but one which should be treasured in
every home. dec23eodtf
