FIELDS ANNIVERSARY.
Will Have Been on the Supreme
Bench Thirty-tWo Years
Next Monday.

Washington, D. c., May 17.-Justice
Field will next Monday celebrate the
thirty -second anniversary of his entering
upon the duties of member of the Unit
ed States Supreme court. He was APP
pointed to the office ON March 10, 1865.
by President Lincoln, but did not assume
the duties of the position until the 10th of
May following. He was at the time o:
his appointment chief justice of the Su'
preme court of the state Of California,
and he desired to finish the business which
had been begun in that court before trans
ferring his labors to q new field. The
eighty-second anniversary of his father $
birth also fell ON the goth Of May, which
was another reason for selecting that date
for beginning his service IN the Natlonai
Supreme court.
Counting from the date of his appoint
ment, only three justices have been long
er on the Supreme bench than Mr.. Field.
These were Justice Marshall. Justice
Storey and Justice Wayne. Chief JUS
tice Marshalls term covered 81 years >
months and 5 days; Justice Storeys 81,
years and months and Justice Hayne' S
33 years and 3 months. When Justice
Field went on the bench, Judge fancy
was chief justice. He has therefore
served with four chief justices. 1t is
said that Mr.. Fields ambition is to ex-
tend his term SO as to make it the longest
on record and he bids fair to be able to
accomplish that result, Notwithstanding
he is now almost 70 years old. lie ad-
mits when the stories of his resignation.
which are quite regularly revived, are
carried to him that he hopes to regain
on the bench at least one year longer.
Justice Field has already made known his
intention of going to the Pacific coast,
where his circuit is located, during the
coming vacation of the Supreme court.
as has been his annual practice with COM
para lively few exceptions since his ap-
pointment. Notwithstanding the law re-
quires visits to the circuit only once ev-
cry two years.

CORNER WHEAT SHIPS.
Shrewd English Vesseiowners Pre-
pare to Get All the Pacific
Shipments.

Tacoma, Wash, May 1S.-Grain men
here say that English shipowners have
cornered the wheat shipments of the Pa
cific coast, and they connect the Fair
wheat Of San Francisco with the deal.
There is a scheme to hold wheat ships
in port.'' said Phil. r. Kershaw of the
West Coast Grain company today, until
charters are run up to outrageous ng-
ures and then get the Fair wheat to load
at fancy prices We on the Pacific coast
are at the mercy of the owners of Eng
lish bottoms who have cornered the ships
at San Francisco and on Puget sound.
besides bringing up all the English bot
toms headed this way
After they had done that. they put
up the price on charters from 20 shill.ngs
to from 35 to 81 shillings. This is equiv
alent to an advance of II cents in the
price of wheat but while these great adj
vances have been made in the price of
charters our wheat has not increased but
about 3 cents per bushel.
I'm Chicago and Liverpool the price OF
wheat has advanced from 10 to Is
simply on account of this corner on char
tiers on this coast, with its headquarters
at San Francisco, the managers OF the
corner propose to rake off all the benefits
to be derived from the advance i'll wheat.
Il have already advised all my clients
to get together and arrange at once with
the railroads to give a reasonable rate on
wheat shipment by rail to Chicago. 1t
this can be done it can break the back
of the corner on ships. AS it is. we are
bound hand and foot and are at the mercy
of lot of English shipowners who have
dubbed together to take advantage of the
advance in the price of wheat.

SYNDICATE CLEANING UP.
Returning Money to Those Who Sub
sCribed to the Government
Gold Loan.

New York. May IA Wall street
news agency says: evidences point to a
cleaning-up process having been begun by
the bond syndicate. The recent return
to the members of 40 per cent. of THEN
subscription money was the first step in
this direction. 1t is uncertain when the
balance will be returned. but there arc
those who think that it will be in shor,
time. The calling up from Il number Of
the syndicate members of the extra gold
is another step in the same direction
There is authority for the statement that
the progress of events in the desired direc
ton has been Il good deal faster than the
syndicate expected. or ever hoped would
be the case. The development of foreign
investors buying on large scale, which
has been so noticeable in the last month,
has practically assured the country
against any large demand for gold for 4
good many months to come. Most of the
SyndicateS preparations were made
against this danger

Secretary of the Imperial Treasury AID
vises Caution.

Berlin, May 1.-THE long-expected de,
bate on the proposed changes in the taxa
ton of sugar. with the view Of affording
relief to the sugar growers of Germany,
was commenced in the Reichstag today.
The secretary of the imperial treasury,
Count Pozadowski Wehner, said that the
bill will not be brought in in the interest
of the sugar manufacturers, but in the
interest of the beet growers. Its rejec,
ton. he added. would increase the agita>
ton now existing among the agrariar
classes. Continuing, he said that the
government had gradually reduced the
bounties on sugar and contemplated then
entire repeal, but so long as other states
continued to grant bounties to exporters,
Germany could not be without them OF
her trade would be supplanted.

cation in regard to the closing Of the

Reason for Short Notice Regarding Yank-

generally supposed that thirty days no

in order to give settlers who go upon the
lands an opportunity to break the lands
this year and make improvements which
will enable them to raise a crop next
year. 1t is usual to allow thirty days
notice, but as it has been known for sew
