Wheat
Chicago, March There was q complete
change in sentiment regarding wheat when
pressing sales OF May at 53Ac. as on yesterday
afternoon, there was an excess OF buyers at
54is054,4c Inside OF the first hour May had
sold at 54M The predicted cold, following the
disappearance OF snow from the wheat fields
was rather more in evidence this morning.
The chief factor in producing the strength was
decrease in the stocks of -four and wheat at
Liverpool, which much exceeded what had
beenexpected and caused an advance there of
"a in the face OF yesterdays decline here An
important foreign item which narrowed up the
feelings of shorts here until it was contradict
ed later was an advance of francs 10 centimes
in the price of March -four In Paris. The cor
rection OF the report did not have much effect
in bullish sentiment. There were requent
nervous changes in the price. 1t reacted to SIC
more than once. but was hosted again. 1t
touched 541<l95sc and closed at 54ssc.
Corn was in better demand, both for ship
ment and on speculation. The business do re
was only moderate. May opened at an ad-
vance OF 3sc, 1t advanced and declined several
times, being 45c bid and 4bHc selling at the
close.

A PORT TOWNSEND SENSATION

Florence Byers Vans Recognition as

SAN Francisco, March 22.-Florpnce
Bucklin Byers has commenced her long
threatened suit to compel Frederick L.
Macondray to recognize her as his wife
The Macondrays are wealthy and prom
inent socially, the family residence be-
ing at Menlo Park. In 1887 Macondray,
then 20 years old, was CHILEAN consul at
Port Townsend, whittier he was sent by
his family to be away from the tempta-
lions of city life. He was soon the CEN
ter of fast set at Port Townsend, and
when three years ago Miss Byers, a
pretty girl of Is, appeared on a music
hall stage there, he took her out of the
place and installed her in his apart
ments. After living together for two
years the pair signed marriage con-
tract, agreeing to live together as man
and wife and agreeing to be married in
California according to existing laws.
The Macondray family hearing of the
affair, had the young man sent home,
and cut off his supplies. Since then the
girl has had to shift for herself. She

JAMES FAIRS ESTATE.
Another and a Later Will Has
Been Found.
SENSATION IN THE CONTEST CASE

1t Was Left with a Young Lady Teacher
in the Public Schools, and Warm
Friend of the Senator's. and Was
Written In Her Presence.
SAN Francisco, March 20.-The con-
tention in the courts over the millions
left by James G. Fair developed another
sensation this morning. When the
case was called before Superior Judge
Slack a great stir was caused by the
introduction of what purports to be a
later Photographic will written in lead
pencil on two sheets of legal cap paper.
1t was brought into court securely
framed between two plates OF glass by
Reuben Lloyd, who has been retained
in the case by Mrs. Oelrichs and Vir-
ginia Fair, daughters of the deceased.
This alleged will divides the estate
almost equally between the two daugh-
tiers and Charlie Fair. 1t bequeaths a
few thousand dollars to certain orphan
asylums, and makes no provisions for
such trust as the estate is left in con-
troll OF under the will previously filed.
Messrs. Angus and Crothers are two
OF the four executors named in the pre-
viously filed will. Referring to this
alleged will, Attorney Lloyd informed
the court that the document, according
to its date, was executed three days
later than the will previously filed. He
said he would prove that the existence
of this will had been known to several
persons, and that it had finally been
found in the possession of very es-
Unable old lady, whose name Lloyd did
not divulge, Lloyd said the old lady had
not produced it because she had read
Of the other will being offered for pro-
bate, and had supposed that it was a
later document than the one she held.
The fact that this new alleged will has
been presented in court by Attorney
Lloyd would indicate that Charlie Fair
and his sisters have joined forces to con-
test the will of their father.
The attorneys who represent the exc
cutors under the will previously filed,
and of which the original copy was
stolen, intitnated very strongly that
they believed this latest alleged will to
be forgery. Inc case was finally con-
tinued to April 2.
The alleged will produced to-day be-
queaths to various brothers and sisters
OF deceased and their children about the
same amounts as was left TO them
under the will previously filed. Under
the first will the families of these
brothers and sisters would acquire a
large proportion OF the estate at the
death of Fairs children, Charles, Vir-
ginia and Mrs. Oelrichs, but under the
will filed to-day the brothers and sisters
and their families would receive only
The amount of cash stated in the will
and the balance OF the SAC. 900. 900 estate
could be distributed at once among the
three children of the deceased.
The special requests to relatives and
charitable institutions are:

OREGoN'S PENITENTIARY.
Nearly Four Thousand Prisoners Have
Been Registered There.

Nearly Four Thousand Prisoners Have
Been Registered There.
SALEM, March 21.-The total number
of prisoners received at the Oregon
state penitentiary since its opening is
now nearing the 1000 mark. Since In
dian Charley, the first human being
that ever donned stripes in the name OF
Oregon, there have registered 1894,
John Gay, of Eugene, being No. 1896.
The number now in prison is 359, of
which two are women. There is not
work enough to keep the convicts en-
ployed half the time. The stove foundry
is run three days of each week-Mon-
days, Wednesdays and Fridays-em-
ploying on these days 165 men. The
aim is to manufacture stoves only for
the demand. The capacity of the plant
would furnish work for 225 men every
day of the week. There are thirty-two
TRUSTEES, who are allowed to work on the
farm and a few inside men find employ
ment gardening within the walls. The
remainder, except the few used'in the
kitchen, are kept in their cells, except
about two hours each day when they
are given what is known as the "bull-
pen drill" This is absolutely necessary
for the health of those who are afforded
no other means of exercise. The aver
sion of doing the bidding of others is
very noticeable, even among convicts.
Many of them, If left to their own pleas
ure, will spend half and some the entire
day walking in the yard between the
shops and the main building, but when
called on to fall in line and march for
exercise they tire and want rest before
an hour has passed. The oldest inhabi-
tant of the prison is A. R. Stoughton, in
his seth year, who was committed for
life from Columbia county in 1892. Al
bert Hoyt has served the longest period
of any one now in prison, having been
committed in August, 1881. Hoyt's
crime was rape, for which he was given
twenty years.

THE POINT AT ISSUE.
Right of the Military to Deal with the
Press.


Press.
ADRID, March 22.-Editors OF news
papers concerned in the publications
which gave rise to the recent rioting
here were yesterday examined by mil
itary Judge. The whole question at issue
now is how to reconcile the pretensions
OF General Campos and the military Of
ficials to bring such cases into the mill
tary courts, under the articles of the
penal code which every Spanish govern
ment and supreme court have decided
have been virtually repealed by the laws
providing trial by jury in the civil courts
for all press ofienses except treason.
Counsel for the journalists have already
raised the question of the competency
of the military courts. The chief diff
Guilty in the situation is to find liberal
statesmen willing to assist Senior Sa-
gasta in reversing the liberal policy in
such cases. Any cabinet now taking Of
fee must be prepared to do. this, but
any Liberal and all Republican deputies
would obstruct the movement. CANA
ZOO, Maura, Canalejan and Gonzales
have declared they will not accept office
under Sagasta, if he supports the mill
tary method of dealing with press Of
lenses.

NOW AT ROCK BOTTOM.
Further Changes In the Wool Market
Must Be Upward.

Furtner Changes In the Wool Market
Must Be Upward.
BosToN, March 22.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the
wool trade: The reported strength OF
markets abroad has not yet been re-
fiected in any appreciable way here.
Prices, though not quotably higher, GER
tainly are steadier, and although trade
has ruled very quiet manufacturers
found it impossible to obtain conces-
sions in value from those current a week
ago. Wool is low in comparison with
other staple articles, and is lower here
than anywhere else. Stocks of domestic
wool here are not large and yet there
appears to be enough to meet the de-
mand, which is not urgent. The bust
ness OF the past week has been of a re-
tail character, very few good lots having
been removed. The aggregate of trans
actions is even less than that of last
week. Holders of wool are in some
quarters quite firm in their views, and
case is cited where a manufacturer
came in the market and made some Of
fers, none of which were accepted bv
dealers. 1t is believed even by those
who have been looking for further de-
cline in values that wool has reached a
point where the bottom can be felt, and
that any further changes in values will
be upward rather than downward.

Kind Of Cash Indemnity and Boun-
daries of Coded Territory-Jspan's
Confidence in the viceroy.
SIMoNosAKI, March 2l.-Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang and suite arrived here this
morning to negotiate for peace between
China and Japan. ENJOYS from the
Japanese foreign Office Immediately
visited the steamer conveying the Chi
nese viceroy. Later Ii Hung Chang,
accompanied by John w. Foster,
American adviser for China, visited the
Japanese minister OF foreign affairs.
AT THE CAPITAL.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Li Hung
Changes arrival in Japan is regarded in
official circles as one OF the most signifi-
can't events of recent days. 1t is the
first time in his life that the venerable
statesman of China has set foot outside
of Chinese SOIL At his advanced age he
now journeys to China's traditional foe
to offer enormous concessions as a means
OF securing peace. 1t can be stated
positively and authoritatively that the
terms of peace are already understood
and all that remains to be done is to
arrange details within certain specified
limits. The general terms have been
brought about by the efforts of United
States Minister DENLY in China and
Dun in Toxic. 1t was even feared at a
late date that LIS mission might fall
through, because of the vagueness of his
authority to treat for the cession of ter
ritory. This was arranged, however.
through the activity of the United States
ministers, who showed that unless this
was obviated the mission would other
wise prove futile.
The general terms of Ii Hung Changes
authority are to cede territory, pay a
cash indemnity, grant the independence
of Corea and arrange new treaty re-
lation with Japan, by which Japanese
extra territorial Jurisdiction in China
will be maintained. The exact amount
of the cash indemnity is not fixed, nor
is the kind of metal it is to be paid in
agreed upon. These and the boundaries
of the coded territory are yet to be ar
ranged. So far as the arrangement has
advanced Prince LIS mission is ex-
pected to be consummated within few
days, unless some unexpected hitch
occurs. Count Ito, one of the two
Japanese ENJOYS, is close personal
friend of Ii Hung Chang, the two hav-
ing settled the Corean trouble in 1886.
SIS great is the confidence of the Japan
ese in LIS ability to see that China
carries out an agreement, that his
promise of settlement will probably
pave the way to speedy cessation OF
the war. The reports that Russia will
intervene to stop the agreement are
known to be misleading, from positive
information received here. The authori-
ties believe there will be no trouble
caused. by Russia. The same is be-
lieved to be true as to France, although
not with the same certainty.
