ed that large amount would be so placed that the disposition would indicate the accuracy of the shipping demand that has been reported to exist. There was large quantity sent round, but from all accounts 1t found its way back into the elevators. It went into strong hands however, and much of the days firmneSS was aScribed that fact.

 May corn was wanted by the elevator concerns today, the buying by that class of people being continued and in some cases vigorous. There was also the usual quota of scalping transactions and local opera tions, based on the feeling of wheat. Alto gether there was but little in the way of weakness to the trade and he close was decidedly strong with an important advance over yesterday. July corn opened at 477sc, advanced to 492t497sc, closing rat 49%, 1&Q1Bc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was in good demand and strong, car lots bringing full cent over yesterday.
 Provisions-The tail end of the May liquid ation in product took place today. There was a large excess of hogs over the esti- mates at the yards and prices there were of provisions. Before the session was over the strength of wheat worked a change in the feeling. a recovery coming about through sympathy with the grain. The close was 2Rc higher than yesterday for July pork, with July lard and ribs unchanged.

Only Q Week.

Albany, N. Y. May 1.-Dr. Buchanan who was to have been electrocuted in Sing Sing prison today for poisoning his wife. was granted another respite of one week by Governor Morton today. This was done on the recommendation of District Attorney Fellows of New York who regarded it as the easiest, shortest and best way out of the complications which have arisen in the case. Colonel Fellows assures the governor that he can within week clear away all matters connected with the alleged appeal taken to the supreme court of the United States on habeas corpus proceedings, and also avoid all the bill and expenses with the taking of Buchanan to New York city for reSentence.

THE JURY DISAGREED
In the Wilde al-Remanded-Poin of
 the Judges Charge.

In the Wilde Trial-Remanded-Poin of
 the Judges Charge.
 London, May 1.-The old Bailey court room was crowded at the opening of the Wilde trial this morning. There was a good deal of speculation as to what course the judge would pursue in his charge to the jury, ana the concensus of opinion seemed to be that the result of the trial depended more upon the charge of the court than upon the views taken by the jurors.
 Wilde looked careworn and anxious, but Taylor maintained the air of uncon- cern which has characterized him throughout.
 Justice Charles, in beginning his charge, said that the evidence had not sustained the charge of conspiracy, and he therefore directed the jurors to ac- quit the prisoners of those charges. The judge then proceeded to analyze the evil dence solely referring to Wilde, and begged the jury to dismiss from their minds all press comments and other out side expressions of opinion upon the case. It was a wholesome rule, he said, to refuse to accept the uncorroborated testimony of accomplice. He was of the opinion, however, that there was cor roboration in the testimony of all wit nesses in the sense that the law re- quired. The young men who had been called to the witness stand were not only accomplices, but Parker Wood and At kins were properly described as black mailers.
 Furthermore, Atkins had told delib- crate ,falsehoods within the hearing of the jury. In weighing the details of the evidence of these witnesses the jury could not overlook the fact that they were persons of the character of which they themselves had asserted. The judge then proceeded to trace the history of the Queensberry trial. In regard to Wilde's literature he did not think that in crim-. inal case the jury ought to base an un- favorable inference upon Wilde's au- thorship of Dorian Grey" As regarded the story of the priest and acolyte in the Chameleon (magazine), he thought it would be absurd to impute blame to Wilde. The sonnets of Lord Alfred Douglas which Wilde had approved were much more material, as was also Wilde's letter which Carson, in the Queensberry trial, had described as horribly indecent.
 The judge, in concluding his charge, said the case was one of the greatest inn portance to the community If the jury believed the charges against the pris- oners were true they should say so fear lessly. The jury retired at 1:30 o'clock D. m.
 After being out three and half hours the jury reported they could not agree and were discharged The prisoners were remanded for new trial Bail was refused.

 Chicago, May 1.-An address relative to the call of a convention of the demo- crats of Illinois on the monetary ques- tion, was issued today by the Honest Money league of Illinois to the demo- crats of Cook county. The address de- clares it to be unwise in policy and dan gerous to the financial and commercial interests of the country to establish or even advocate the free and unlimited coinage of silver without international cooperation at the ratio of 16 to l. It de- clares the calling of the state convention to be wholly unwarranted and contrary to all party precedents, as we'll as calcu- lated to destroy the natural character and influence of the party. It closes by appealing to all honest money democrats to ignore the state and county conven- lions

TEN LIVES CRUSHED OUT,

 Dangerously Injured.
W0EFUL WORK OF THE WIND
In Southern Kansas-A Heroic Young Lady {. Teacher-Pathway of the Storm Lined

Hutchinson, Ks, May 1.-Wreek and
 ruin and loss of life were crowded into a
 brief space of time by a cyclone in the farming district twenty miles east of this city this afternoon. Ten lives were
 crushed out.
 About 4:20 o'clock a cloud was seen to | approach Patterson. small station on
 the Frisco road, about six miles from
 Burton. Those who saw it say it re- sembled great mass of flying smoke | and dust from a prairie fire. The air was hot, as if it came from a furnace, | and filled with electricity. The storm struck about mile south of Patterson, and for sixteen miles in a northwesterly direction left death and ruin in a patch 100 yards to a-quarter of
 mile in width. Ten persons were killed, | as follows: 50 Mrs. Joseph Wear. Grace Wear, F years old. Herman Wear 10 years old A babe.
 William Armstrong. Mrs. Chapin.
 | John Schmidt.
 | Miss Schmidt. Dora Schmidt.
 Frank Schmidt.
 Others were injured, but their names could not be ascertained. The residences | of Cyrus Hinkslen, William White, B. | D. Friselle and A. s. Howell were de- molished and many others damaged The | pupils of the Hege district school, in the path Of the storm, were hurried out of | danger by the young lady teacher and | she is the heroine of the hour. A few | minutes after the last pupil left the building fell. The sky was overspread | with black clouds, and the storm cloud,
 
 | like the swaying trunk or a giant ele phant After the cyclone swept by, leav- l ing devastation and death in it's wake, | the citizens went to work caring for the | injured and removing the dead bodies | of the killed from beneath the heaps of | debris. Rain has been falling through | out southwestern Kansas at intervals since yesterday afternoon, and there was | a severe hail storm in this section to- night Of the twenty injured, Mrs. Frye. Joseph Wear and Mrs. Friselle will die. Among the others injured are: Jacob | s. Stichey, Cyrus Henson and Mrs. Will | liam Armstrong.
 Jacob Stinechy saw the storm and hastened from the field where he was working. He turned his horses in the barn and returned to the house, taking the family into the cellar. The storm blew away the barn, lifted the house from its foundation and landed one of the horses on Mrs. Stinchey, probably injuring her fatally The horse was taken from the cellar harnessed and un- hurt. The Schmidt family of four were killed.
 From here the storm lifted and no further damage so far as heard from was done. A westbound passenger train on the santa Fe was held at Halstead until the storm had passed Where it crossed the track telegraph lines, poles, wires and all were swept away The train would certainly have been wrecked had it gone ahead In addition to the houses destroyed were barns, out buildings orchards, etc. while pathway of the storm is lined with
 the carcasses of horses. cattle, hogs and other animals. The loss will be great. as

 Sugar recorded another advance today of 1sc
 ''There are several causes for the rise in sugar." remarked a prominent wholesale merchant this afternoon. 'In the first place the insurrection in Cuba has not only re- tarded planting of cane but may prevent to a large extent the conversion of what has been planted into sugar. Beet sugar is yet more or less an experiment. and the supply is uncertain. Then there is the prospect of a heavy fruit crop, and lastly that sympa- thetic feeling which seems to pervade all values, the ground-swell, as it were. of bet ter times'
 Meat is weaker and went off IS points.
 Flour is very firm. Advance may be ex- pected.
 Grain and feedstuffs generally are firm. Corn especially. Outside of a little milling Alabama corn is all that is on the market.
 Receipts of eggs are increasing. Quota tions, however, remain unchanged.
 Poultry is steady Spring chickens are in sharp demand, but none are to be had. A dealer remarked today that he had not re- ceived inquiries from his country corre- spondents as to prices on flyers and broilers and he inferred from this that shipments would be delayed for some time yet. The cold weather of February prevented setting of hens.
 Snap beans and English peas are almost drug on the market.
 New potatoes are arriving in larger quan- tity, but the quality is still far from satis- factory.
 Strawberry shipments are beginning. A lot came in from the vicinity of Oxmoor this morning. and found ready sale. Live stock receipts are light and transac- tions small. Fat to fairly fat cattle, sheep and hogs in demand; no market for low grades.
