STORIES OF THE DAY.

Random Observation During . Brief g.
journ In the Windy City.
Every residence has a nice little 4 by6
plot Of grass in the front yard with hol-
lyhocks and a lilac bush, and on fine
afternoons the women put on their sum
bonnets and go out with sprinkling pots
to water the garden.
There are restaurants on every block
two or three-which serve a full
meal at prices ranging to a maximum
Of 40 cents. They serve dinner at noon
and supper at 6 o'clock. Supper consists
Of stewed beefsteak and nice, sweet lit
tie white grapes tewed with sugar.
The gripmen and conductors on the
cable roads know all the passengers,
and help strangers along by introducing
them to the regulars. Whenever there
is a breakdown or a stop for any rea-
son they come around and Jolly up
the fares" just to make everything
pleasant, so that time won't hang >heav-
lily.
The business men who live outside Of
"down town" drive in every morning
with their own teams, which they hitch
to the lampposts in front of their OFF,
ces. Sometimes they unhitch the horses
and tie them to the rear wheels Of the
wagon, so that they can eat the hay out
Of the wagon box while they are wait
ing for the evening drive home.
The very swagger people give dances
in the pavilion of the old Iowa building
in Jackson park. They put a fence Of
benches around SO that the populace may
see, but are yet kept out. It's a great
source of amusement to the simple>vil-
layers to gather in throngs outside the
benches and behold and comment upon
the grace and beauty Of the a~ristocracy.
After supper the men sit on the empty
beer kegs out in front Of the saloons and
smoke and chew tobacco and tell old
stories. Sometimes they sit on the emp
ty boxes in front of the dry goods stores
and white. The evenings are fine in
Chicago, and the drug stores on the cor.
ners put chairs out on the sidewalk fol-
the regular l~oafers, who sit and gossip
about the Holmes case.
AS one approaches Chicago in the
early morning the Wagner Car porter
says, "At the mex bend, when we CONF
from behind the trees, sir, you can see
Chicago" You step out on the platform
and the porter says, There it is, sir
and points to a cloud Of smoke, just
blot on the face of nature when the sky
is blue and clear and the day is brigh'
and the grass and fields are green.
Nearly all the women ride bicycles
They wear brown boomers and gra.
coats. They buy the boomers in a Stat
street store for $1.37 a pair. The me-
who ride wear red stockings and RET
caps. They let their front hair grow
long and curl it with irons so that tn
red caps-worn on the back Of the hea'
give them q fine jaunty air. This
true in spite Of the news from Londo
that baggy trousers have been decree
for all bicycle riders by the Chicag
| aldermen.
In the railroad station in Chicago
, where the suburban trains stop, there
posted on one wall this sign:
} Warming!
Beware Of confidence men and pickpocketS.
, /: Do not let them entice you away from
} the depot.

On the opposite wall there is thi
sign:

Pioneer Press, %: The course OF the
wheat market is "A puzzle. IL contouads
all the calculations based upon what APP
Dear to nave been authentic data fixing
approximately the supply and demand.
Upon these factors it would not Ordin-
arily do to predicate any given price, to
be sure but "a range OF prices. la this
country the crop OF wheat outside OF
below the average. The winter wheat
crop in the seat OF its chief production
was a failure. The reserve or visible
supply from last years crop was much
smaller than usual. Short crops have
been reported IN most OF he European
countries. There has been no quarter
Of the world where IA yield has been had
or expected to overcome this widespread
deficiency. All the crop statlstlclans IN
this country have figured that our home
consumption would absorb so large a
proportion Of our product as to leave an
unusually small amount for export.
Putting all these facts together IT
seemed reasonable to expect "a fairly
high price for wheat. But since the
harvest the price has dragged III the
Chicago market considerably below ~
cents. 1t is difficult 10 understand the
reasons for this. 1t can hardly be ex'
planned on the ground of speculative
combinations to bear prices Ia Chicago
because the prices Of wheat are hot
liked in Chicago.
A proxlmate cause may be found IL
the inactivity of the foreign demand
For though the foreign demand cuts
but little figure IN the total consumption
of American cereals 1T exercises an I'M
portant influence on prices. FOR the
Liverpool prices register the consensus
of OPINION In the markets Of the world at
to the relation of the worlds aggregate
demand. SO that it is to Liverpool anc
not Chicago-to the worlds aggregate o.
supply and demand, and not to the
crops of this country in their relation tt
our own market that we must look FOL
the solution Of this obscure problem o
the prices OF wheat. All our Informa
ton upon that subject encourages thu
belief that the present low prices art
temporary, and are likely to be followed
by a considerable rise. But it is neve
safe to rely upon expections OF this kind
for the data upon which they are founded
often turn out to be i~llusionary.

FATE OF FILIBUSTERERS.

Washington, June 25,-Word reaching
official headquarters in Washington in
dicates that the filibustering expedition
which was believed to have gone to Cuba
on the steamer George w. Childs, has
come to an inglorious end. The boat
was located after reaching Jamaica, but
nothing definite has ever been heard of
the party beyond vague statements that
they had landed at some remote point
on the Cuban coast. The last of these
reports was two weeks ago, on the
seventh, since which time there has been
no mention of what the band was doing.
Information now reaching officials leads
to the belief that the party did not reach
Cuba, but met with diaster off Florida,
resulting in extreme hardships to its
members. six of them have returned to
Key West in famished condition, hav-
ing lived on crabs in the marshes of the
keys off the Florida coast. From the
fact that there has been no trace of the
party in Cuba, the officials here believe
that the six who have suffered such
hardships in the swamps are the main
band of the Childs party.
Official confirmation has been received
today from Havana of the engagement
between Major Delgado, who has Spanish
command, and Cassalle's insurgent for
ces. Cassalles and two others were kill
ed and the band dispersed. The en-
is said to be especially import
ant because of it's locality. 1t occurred
on the plantation of San Jose near
Placeztes province of Santa Clara. This
is the point nearest to Havana that the
have reached. There was
added feeling over their proximity to the
capitol, because their commander, Cas-
sales, first enlisted in the Cuban
volunteers in the service of Spain and
afterwards deserted to the insurgents.
His death, it is claimed, will block up the
operations nearest Havana.
In view of the developments as to the
Childs filibustering party, it is not
that the United States
cruiser, Raleigh will turn her attention
to them. She left Key West Yesterday
without announcing her destination, and
it is possible she received the information
which now reaches here.

INTERNATIONAL DERBY.

Detroit Mich, June 25-The proyerbial
luck OF the Detroit Driving club struck
It today and the success of it's first run
nlng meeting is assured. Barring the
neat, the day was perfect. The track
was tightening and the attendance be-
tween 5000 and 10000. Two favorites.
owo well played second and third choices
and a rank outsider were the winners,
the dump coming in the first race when
Shuttle, at 30 to 1, threw the talent hard.
The event of the day of course was the
international derby and field of seven
good ones faced Starter Caldwell for the
rich prize. Lissak, the favorite at even
money, had a comparatively easy time
OF 1t and was never extended, winning I'M
der pull.
With but little delay they got away
third, and Lissak last. At the quarter,
Lissak led by two lengths, Hating second,
half length in front of Diggs, third,
and Others punched. Passing the stand,
Lissak was in front with length and q
half of daylight between him and Maui
rice, head before Hating.
At the three-quarter the positions We're
unchanged, except that Havoc had drop
ped back to the last.
At the mile, Lissak had increased his
lead somewhat.
Lissak was running easy and it was
seen that the race was over. At the
mile and a quarter Lissak still led by
two lengths from Maurice, an equal dis
lance in front of Diggs and the others
out.
Coming into the stretch Lissak was two
lengths to the good and at the finish
won easily by length from Maurice four
lengths in front of Diggs and the others

COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION.

Washington, June 25.-Owing to the
result of the attempt to secure consular
clerk by competitive examination, the at
tention of Secretary Olney has been drawn
to the feasibility of choosing United States
consuls in similar fashion, which would
be in a measure in the line of civil service
reform. There are at present about 400
consular places and at every change of
administration the pressure brought. to
bear upon the president and the secretary
of state to secure appointments to this
service is overwhelming, and the many
changes which result in the personnel in
variably throw the entire service into
confusion and suspend for considerable
period of time its beneficial workings.

drawn to the fact that in the admins

THE PRINTING BOARD

The printing board was in session yes.
terday morning and entertained. without
fnal action, a proposition from Mr.. Hen.
~ Hutchins of this city as to whether or
not foreign firms could bid on the print.
ing OF tax assessors rolls.
With reference to the matter wherein
Ben O.. Jones & Co., the f1rst-class print
ers, refused to furnish the paper for the
printing of the tax receipts and invento-
rles, the board awarded that part of the
contract to Won Boeckmann at advanced
hgures. This matter gives rise to some
interesting speculation, inasmuch as the
State is placed in very embarrassing
position. 1T is generally conceded bE
everyone that the forfeiture of any part
OF contract abrOgates the entire contract.
1t is now cOntended by the expert printer
and some others that the refusal of Jones
d Company to furnish this paper does
not abrOgate their contract for the rea-
son that the State has failed in its part
OF the contract in that it promised cash
warrant for work done and instead there
OF it now issues deficiency warrant In
other words, according to these gentle
men, Jones Il Co. has the State by the
horns. They can do that part of the
contract that pleases them and that
which they don't want to do they don't
have to. This is the position the State
sis placed in according to these gentle
men and the printers certainly hold the
whip hand. The board has, however,
taken no action on the matter, and will
not say as to whether Jones & Co. have
abrOgated their contract or not. They let
the contract yesterday to Won Boeck-
mann at an increased figure because they
could not tie business up while they dick
cred with Jones & Co. They have not
said whether they will make Jones & Co.
pay the difference between the contract
prices and the increased bid of yesterday,
nor have they said whether they will de-
clare their entire contract void. These
matters will be settled at subsequent
meeting of the board AS the matter now
stands, however, it is as stated in yes
terday's Statesman. Jones & Co. refused
to furnish paper for part of their contract
and they are in danger of abrogating
their entire contract. Much interest is
attendant upon the final action of the
board in the matter.
