Chicago 'Change.


 Chicago, Aug. 22.-Phere was a gratifying change from a bull standpoint to the wheat market this morning, the opening trades being made made at At ssaMe higher than last last by reported rains throughout the portions of the northwest, cables not as weak as ex- pected and free covering by shorts. After the shorts were well covered there seemed to be an absolute lack of any outside de- mand, and early pit buyers turned sellers with the result that the market weakened and fell off a cent The large arrivals in the northwest and the belief that much larger may be expected in the near future against puts steadied the market at the de- cline. September wheat opened at 63k to GShc, advanced to G3Aq6ic, declined to 6lesp day. Cash wheat was weak and 1c per bushel lower.
 The improved feeling in the market was reflected in corn. which opened steady at unchanged prices. The lighter receipts than expected and the rather bullish Cincinnati Price Current summary also assisted in maintaining steady prices. The Price Cur rent reported considerable corn in the cen tral regions irreparably injured by insufii- cient moisture, and that an important low ering of the average promise seemed cer- tain. Later the market weakened in sym pathy with wheat and under acute pressure from warehouse men and receiving houses, who reported larger receipts from the west. Estimated receipts for tomorrow also mate tember opened at S6aac. advanced to 37c, de- clined to 35la and closed at 35s40357sc, 7sc to 1c under yesterday. The cash market was weak and 1ac to 1c per bushel lower
 Oats were quiet but steady. The. market was practically featureless. Trading was very light, the demand being principally for May oats Near the close the market became weaker in response to the weaker tone of wheat and corn. September oats closed shade lower than yesterday Cash oats were easy and hc lower.
 rovisons-Provisions were easy on rath- CT free selling by longs. A weaker hog mar ket at the yards assisted in keeping prices lower Trading was light Prices partially recovered on buying of September ribs by Armour, but later the market weakened in sympathy with the lower grain market. At the close September pork was 22c under yes terday and September lard and September ribs 10e lower than yesterday.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.

In Wall Street.

New York, Aug. 22-Stoeks were feverish today, and as usual of late the bulk of the monopolzed speculation during the early session, but in the afternoon Sugar forged rapidly to the front. Tobacco was very CT ratfc in it's course. The stock opened at 94 fell to 93la. bounded up to 961a and closed l7s per cent higher on the day at 957s. The selling at the start was due to the an nouncement that the outside manufacturers will meet in this city on September to complete their arrangements for fighting the trust. The stock however. was hard to borrow and commanded small premium for use. This had tendency to make small operators cover and accounts for the rise
 Sugar dropped from 10sh to 1O6M on the reduction in the price of refined. Toward the close however, the stock was taken in hand and marked up to 1lols. Lead, Linseed Oil and Cotton Oil were weak and declined 11sgt29s per cent. covered 5s per cent.

G07HAMS SWELL HORSE SHOW.
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough There,
but They Escaped Recognition BY the
MultitudeS.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
fourth days attendance at the horse show
at Madison-square Garden did not reach
the high-water mark of yesterday, but the
big amphitheater was completely filled
afternoon and evening in spite of a nasty
drizzle of rain. Society filled the boxes
and stalls as usual, and in nearly as bril-
liant plumage as last evening. Outside
the gardens lines of carriages extended for
blocks and the police had hard work to
prevent a complete blockade.
The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough
were guests of Miss Duer in arena box
for a couple OF hours in the afternoon, but
as their coming had been kept secret,
few of the thousands who glanced at
the pretty girl in a broad-brim med
black-plumed hat as they passed
or at the young man with down on his
upper lip, recognized Americas greatest
heiress and his Grace, the Duke. In the
evening very nearly the same society peo-
pie were in lheir seats and the multitude
filled the promenades and stared at them,
neglecting the horses in the ring.
The special prize of 500 offered by Mrs.
John G. Heckscher for the best pair of
horses and best appointed Victoria or cab
riolet was won by Joseph E. Widener of
Philadelphia. 1t was after o'clock be-
fore the last number on the programme
was called. 1t was lightweight green
hunters, and was taken by Adam Beck OF
London, Ont. The attendance during the
afternoon was the best of the week.

MASSACRES OF CHRISTIANS BY THE TURKS,

for the unfortunate victims of British
vengeance, which brought about the con-
viction of these men at time when panic
reigned throughout Great Britain and
when fair trials for men charged with
political offenses was impossible. In the
address to Irish sympathizers in the United
States the manifesto issued by the Amnesty
Association says:
I'VE think the time has come for max
ing direct appeal to all good Irishmen
in America and to every one who has at
heart the interests of justice. The am
nesty of political prisoners is sacred duty
with any country and should receive the
support of all. We are sure that there is
no need of commencing this endeavor to
the people of the United States, for in the
name of humanity they must wish US
Godspeed."
This movement has created no end of
excitement among Irishmen residing in
the East, as it Is generally recognized that
the time has come when the final demand
is to be made, and if the moral support of
the American nations is not sufficient to
induce England to be merciful then harsh
measures must be taken. A monster pc
tition is to be drawn up and sent all over
the country for signatures, and will be
presented to the British Parliament as
soon as it is ready.

reported bill from the committee and
supported it in an earnest speech on that
subjecl. Very few people are aware of the
fact that the old Notifications and old can
non that are mounted on our seacoast
forts are absolutely useless against modern
ships of war.
They are about as ineffective as a pistol
would be against Gatling guns. So far as
am aware there is now only one CON-
pleted modern fortiication in the United
States supplied with modern guns of
heavy caliber, and that is at Sandy Hook.
This constitutes the entire modern land
defense of the great city of New York. 1t
is true, however, that works OF this kind
have been commenced at Boston and San
Francisco. The appropriations of Con-
gress have been absolutely inadequate for
the purpose of protecting seacoast cities
from destruction by foreign enemy.
There are twentye eight of the principal
seacoast cities in the United States re-
quiring guns and Notifications for defense
against possible outside foes. 1t is, there
fore, very difficult for our Government to
take a strong stand in an international
diplomacy when it is conscious of such
utter weakness to Withstand an attack"

Concessions

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 14.-The
Herald says: Another turn in the Pacific
Mail Panama Railroad situation is close
at hand. The railroad company has
drawn up contracts, which are ready to
be signed, for the establishment of a new
steamship line on the Pacific Coast, and also
from New Orleans to Colon, and it intends,
so it claims, TO start in with rate-cutting
campaign at an early date unless the Pa
cific Mail Company within few days ac-
cepts it's ultimatum.
1t may be said, however, that although
negotiations were apparently "broken off"
further conferences have been held during
the present week, and Mr.. Huntington is
said to have manifested disposition to
make reasonable concessions, provided the
railroad company will do the same.

ment.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 14.-Within the
next few weeks a vigorous effort will be
made in this country to give an impetus
to the cause of amnesty for Irish political
prisoners. The Irish National Amnesty
Association has been busily engaged in
mapping out the plans for year past
and the action will be taken at once
- John F. Egan, one of the best known
Irishmen in the United States and himself
political prisoner in British convict
prison for nine years, has been delegated
by the association to visit all the cities of
prominence in America and present the
cause of amnesty to the consideration of
exileu fellow-countrymen and sympa-
thizers of every race with the victims of
injustice.
The Irish Amnesty Association has is
sued an address to the sympathizers with
their cause of the United States and Can
ada, asking for the material and moral
support necessary to force the British Gov
ernment to reconsider the cases of these
prisoners. They make no distinction of
party and will welcome the assistance of
every man who believes in securing justice

to Find Him.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 14.-Thousands
of people, poor and afflicted, waited pa
tiently under the lowering skies and chilly
wind this morning for the appearance of
Francis Schlatter, the healer. When he
failed to appear bitter murmur arose,
and the disappointment was keen. Then
rumors were passed from one mouth to
the other, and the whole city was lost in
conjecture. Some had it he was seen near
Greeley, others claimed he was walking
hatless and shivering over the fields near
Golden; that he took the night train to
Chicago. Conflicting reports were rife.
All that was positively known was that
he had departed from the Fox home in the
night, taking all his gifts of warm clothing
and leaving behind this brief note:
Mr.. Fo1-My mission is finished. Father takes
me away. Good-by. FRANCIS SCHLATTER.

The crowd was at first inclined to make
trouble, but it withdrew after demolishing
the fence for souvenirs. Many touched
the boards on which Schlatter had stood.
and thus carried away his mystic influence.

Dallas tonight that the southbond ex-
press train on the Huston and Texas Gen.
trail, leaving Dallas at 7:30 o'clock last
night collided with the train on the North
western branch at the station at Bremond
about midnight. Engineer Wolfey of the
Northwestern train was killed and En-
gineer Clark of the main line badly in
iured. Nearly twenty passengers received
slight bruises. AS six cars were ordered
from Dallas it is evident that one or both
trains were badly damaged.
