Wheat was very weak at the opening.
In the frantic efforts of brokers at the
opening to sell out long wheat as near
as possible to the top limit of their prin

which was the most any one asked for

The Cincinnati Price Current was in
terpreted as meaning more favorably
to the side presented by the bears in
its remarks concerning the amount of
the crop suggested by the government
report. The rain was claimed to justi-

markets gave full acknowledgment this
morning TO the decline in price which
occurred here yesterday. The enjoy

opening. The altered tone was remark
able and the tendency in the prices

radical. In about ten minutes the
price of July rose from around III to

gave the price its first hoist, which
took il to 7SA cents; then after a
slight reaction the crop reports which
were being received and shown around

the facts and their knowledge of the

10 settle it is trust the great body of

the representatives of the party of
Lincoln, Grant and Garfield to deal

He was One OF the Early Settlers in In
diana.

Michael c. McLain. aged II, died
yesterday. He was born in Cincinnati
in 1918, and two years later, with his
family, removed to Brookviile, this
state. In 1850 he removed to Charles
ton, Ill, where he lived for twenty-five
years, and was at one time a member
of the legislature. In 1879 he removed
TO Wichita, Kan, where he practiced
law until September of last year, when,
owing TO a lingering and serious cardiac
trouble, he was compelled to give up
his profession. He then removed TO
this city He leaves a widow and two
sons. He was closely connected with
the Wing and Republican politics of
Illinois, and numbered Abraham Lin
coin among his personal friends. His
funeral took place at 3 p. m. at the

RELIEF FOR HOMESTEADERS.
Secretay Hoke Smith has rendered a
decision on appeal that will be of in
terest to many western hOmesteaders.
The case in question was that of j. y.
Wells, of the Alliance Land district,
Nebraska, who requested an extension
of time for making payment on his pre-
emtion claim. The land office refused
the request on the ground that such eX-
tension could be granted only in cases
where inability to pay arose by reason
of failure of crops.
In his decision Secretary Smith re-
versed this ruling and called attention
to recent act of congress which eX-
tends the time of final payment for
one year in cases where the entry man
is unable to make payment on account
of any cause which he is unable TO con-
troll. This law was passed in view of
the financial distress prevailing throu-
out the country last year.
HAZEN AND HOWGATE.
The feature of the trial Of Captain
Howgate today was the attempt of the
defense to introduce testimony to show
that General HaZen, then chief Of the
signal service bureau, was Cognizant
OF the Whereabouts of Captain How
gate while the latter was in New York
in 1887. A. II. Bateman, formerly New
York broker, was called as a witness to
testify that he had seen Howgate, had
notified General HaZen, who had Of
fered $500 reward for the capture, that
he could tell where Howgate was, and
that Hazen replied: stop, 1 don't
want TO hear it
District Attorney Birney immedia tely
objected to the admission OF the testi-
mony and it was ruled out. as were
offers TO prove by ]. f. Jackson and
Mclean of New York, that
Whereabouts in New oYrk
was we'll known.

PECIED OF FiLIBUSlERING.
Not Known Whether the Party is Still on
Key West and kingston--Case Said to
Bear an Unpleasant Resemblance to
ferred to Japan--HOke Smith Makes
One Decision which Benefits Somebody
General Hazen and the Howgate Trial

Washington, June 13.-The steamer
George Childs, carrying the fiilibus-
tering expedition from Key West. has
landed at Jamaica. Definite informa-
ton to this effect has been received
here. 1t was due in a large measure
to the sailing Of this expedition last
week that the administration deter
mined on energetic steps to prevent
violation of neutrality law and that
President Cleveland issued his procla-
nation last night.
The information from Jamaica states
only that the steamer has landed but
does not add as to whether the filibus-
terers are still on board or Were land
ed at some point in Cuba. The fact
that the information from Jamaica
gives only the arrival of the George
Childs. without mention of the filibus-
terers, leads to the impression in some
quarters that the suspicious directed
against her may prove unfounded, as
there is only irregular Information
thus far to show that she carried the
party. If the steamer, as alleged, has
carried from the United States a sup
ply OF munitions OF war and armed
men to aid the rebels in Cuba, the in
cident may raise a grave question as
to the responsibility OF the government
On the statement of facts to our Of
ficialS the case bears a strong resenl-
blance to the celebrated Alabama af-
fair, which cost the British govern
ment many millions of dollars To set
tie.
In the George Childs case the vessel
was under the United States flag and
practically the expedition started in
government was duly advised OF the
intended departure of the George
Childs expedition, though whether the
adviceS were in themselves sufficient
to make UP a prima facie case justify
ing the arrest of the parties or the de-
tention of the vessel under the terms
Of our law, cannot be learned. By the
terms of the treaty of Washington, the
United States bound Great Britain and
itself to the doctrine that a nation is
bound to use due diligence" TO prevent
the departure of armed expeditions
against friendly nation. This raises
the point whether the United States
can be held to have exercised due dill
gence in the matter.
