LOSING HOPE At CHICAGO.
And Xet the Great stump That Was Feared
Hasn't Happened.

7I9I-
CmcAeo, Feb 1O.-The liquidation in
wheat today was very general, partly on
account of exhausted margins and partly
because many holders have apparently
lost All hope of any early change for the
better and fear even lower prices in the
near future.
1t has been the gossip for some days
that if the market broke to 60 cents
there were some big lines Of wheat
which would be dislodged, but that when
that price was reached without bringing
out much wheat the trade felt much en-
c0uraged.

any invitation whatever, either writ

1t was a pity, now that we are pre-

EngIishmen RavenOus For CaIifOr-
mia Fruit.

London, Sept. r. There was great
annoyance felt by the fruit dealers in
Covent garden today by the fact that
no California fruit is arriving. The
first shipments received here made the
reputation of California fruit, and hum
dreds of the smaller dealers, finding
the public welcomed California fT-1ft,
began arranging for supply.
Suddenly the shipments stopped, and
now no fruit from California is ex-
pected to arrive before September 26.
There are no pears nor plums in the
market, and if a supply of the CalifOr-
nia-grown product was now in the
market it would command high prices.
The taste. color and quality of the
previous shipments were highly ap-
proved. Much of the fruit was re-
packed in small baskets and sold as
English-grown, a trick that will be al
ways possible, unless a quantity of Cali
fOrnia product is regularly sent That
there would be some loss at the outset
Of such an important fruit movement,
should have been expected. The early
shipments were only advertisements.
If the shippers fail now to forward
fruit regularly, they will undo all that
has been done.
w. n. White and company today re-
cefved samples of California sun-dried
fruits, for which there will undoubtedly
be a demand with the best prices.

New York, Sept 12.-Mayor Gilroy
sent a letter to a meeting Of the police
board today, enclosing a communiea-
ton from the supervising board of civil
service examiners, which reflects serl-
ously upon Inspector Mclaughlin, and
practically charges him with with
drawing important documents in con-
nection with the examination of GER
tain policemen. Three cases are re-
ferred to specifically. These relate to
the examination of applicants for posi-
lions on the force. The answers in
each case were correct, according to the
police manual, and this the mayor
considers as evidence of fraud.
The matter has been referred to Su-
perintendent Byrnes with a request
that he report on the subject to the
police.
Carl Werner, who formerly kept a
disorderly house in Captain Cross pre-
cinct, told how the police put up job
to arrest him. Detective Cohen and
another officer had a drink in his sa-
loon on Sunday. Then they arrested
him for attempted bribery. Werner
told of an interview ne had with Cap
tain Cross, when the captain said he
had orders from above TO close Wer-
ner's place.
officer Cohen, when he arrested Wer-
ner, charged him with attempted bri-
berry, testifying that Werner placed a
So bill in his hand. He did not arrest
Werner when he received the bride.
but reported the matter to Captain
Cross. who went with him to see Su-
perintendent Byrnes. Byrnes advised
him to lay the case before a police
magistrate.
Charles Patterson, of Shrewsbury, N.
J., told how Detective George ZInt, OF
Brooklyn, conspired with two New York
detectives to make him pay $3.50 Cor the
recovery of diamond pin which had
been stolen from him. The pin had
been pledged for $50 The detectives
told Patterson to pay it, They told
him they wanted $50 for themselves.
Patterson paid some of the money.
Then he went to superintendent Byrnes
and on the strength of his story the
two detectives were dismissed. The
plan of the dealers was to stand in
with the Brooklyn detectives and share
part of the extorted money.

There has been some fighting at Bing
Chong, Corea, but no decisive engage
ment has yet taken place. 1t is prob
able, however, that the next battle will

numbering 10000 have arrived from An

army. Two thousand Chinese troops
nave also arrived at Hosan Chin, on
the banks of the Tai Dong river and
nave started to build a fort to defend
the position. They are collecting rice

A Japanese general says that the
battle which will take place soon at
Bing Chong will have important bear
ing on the ultimate outcome of the war
IN Corea. According to a correspon-
dent OF the Japan Advertiser, there are
now in Corea 81, 800 troops. OF this

Women Are Allowed to Vote.
Denver, Colo, Sept. l2.-There were
s5S delegates present at the Republican
state convention today, few of whom
were women taking part in their first
state convention under the equal stuff
rage law. Senator James w. McCreary
was elected temporary chairman. Com
mtteeS were appointed and a recess
taken. The indications are that Alo
MeIntire, of Alamesa, will receive the
nomination for governor.
Before recess Senator Wolcott adj
dressed the convention. Wolcott urged
the redemption of the state from Pop
ulist misrule. He said he would leave
the Republican party when some other
was ready and able to do more for sill
Yer. and not before
"A new element has entered politics
and the women of the state must boar
their share of the burden. There is no
good citizen who does not thank his
maker that the women will cast their
ballots with him to prevent misrule.
Since Colorado became state there
has never been an hour when its mot
to could so earnestly be invoked as
now. Nothing without divine aid
There must be enough men and women
in this state TO save it from further
misrule.
L believe that this convention will
not listen to the claim of any man for
office, but will select citizens who will
save the state from misrule"
At the conclusion of Senator VOL
colts remarks, Senator Teller took the
platform. He gave a brief history of
the fight in Congress last winter to
prevent the repeal of the Sherman
bill, and stated that the silver cause
all over the world was growing so rap
idly that it was in his opinion but a
very short time until a free COMA ge
law would be enacted by Congress. He
agreed with his colleague il his state
ment that he was willing to withdraw
from the Republican party when it
ceased to be friendly 20 the cause of
silver.

Contracts ExemptipE Railroad Cor
poratiOns Are Not Contrary to

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Sept. I'm the case
of the Hartford Fire Insurance company
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad company, Judge Shiras has
ruled that contracts eXempting railroad
corporations from liability for damages
caused by fire is not contrary to public
policy. In 1890 the railroad company leas-
ed tract of ground near the depot of
the company at Monticello TO Simpson,
Mcintyre e. Co, for the purpose of erect
ing a cold storage warehouse. In the
proviso the contract exempts the railroad
company from damages in case the ware
house should be fired by sparks from Il
locomotive or through negligence of en-
ployeeS or the agents of the company
In 1892 the warehouse was burned and

it were paid $1,000 insurance by the Hart

against the st. Paul road for the recov-
cry of this money, on the ground that
such contracts are contrary to public
policy of the state. To these allega tons
the railway company entered a demurrer
which was argued originally before Judge
Shiras at the spring term. He reserved
his decision because case similar to
this one was then pending before the SUI
preme court of the state.
The opinion just rendered by Judge
Shiras is very long, all phases of the
case being carefully reviewed. He holds
to Simpson, Mcintyre e. Co., eXempting
the defendant company from liability by
fire is not contrary TO public policy and
hence is not invalid.
