BURGLARS AT GARDINER.
Coal Office Of G. H. Harrington Entered
$3.50 Missing from Safe.

Gardiner, April 22.-(SpeciaD. The
coal office of G. H. Harrington at the up
per end of Water street, was entered some
time during Sunday night and the safe
robbed Of its contents, amounting t.
about $3.50.
Entrance was easily gained from the
rear end of the building, none of the wiE-
dows there having fasteniDgs upon them.
The back room is used for the purpose OF
storing lime, cement, etc. The office is
in the front part of the building.
TIE burglars. who must have been
amateurs at the business, first attempted
to cut out the lock on the office door, us
ing what appears to have been very dull
4 inch chsel for the purpose. They soon
gave the idea up, however. and broke one
OF the glass panels, 9xi2 inches, in the
door.
Late Sunday after noon, Mr.. Harrington
was in his Office, and had occasion to oper
the safe and cannot remember positively
whether he again locked it, though it was
locked when he opened the Office, Monday
morning. If the thieves did not know tn,
combination they were at least acquainted
with the lay of the ground, being obliged
to work in the dark, rs no matches were
found upon the floor in the morning.
1t would be very easy for anyone to
stand on the sidewalk, three feet away,
and watch the opening of the safe several
times day. The tracks of a very large
pair of boots can be distinctly seen in the
coal ashes in the rear of the building
No clue has yet been found to the robbers.

WILD SCENES
In Chicago Wheat Pit, During
the Furry of Monday.
July Touches 63--Chicago Holds
Most of Visible Supply.
Armour Co. Nearly S1.000.O0O Ahead
Partridge Loser.

Chicago, April 22.-The advance in the
price of wheat, which began last week,
continued in sensational manner, to-
day, on tho board of trade. When trad
ing began there was Wild scramble for
wheat, July being the favorite option. In
lO minutes the price reached 63 cents
which was two cents over the closing price
Saturday.
The action of the bears in selling lot
ct 63 checked the advance and there was
a reaction to GO. The market fluctuated
between these prices for some time. The
wheat pit was jammed with brokers who
held buying orders. Everybody wanted
wheat in hurry.
The reason is that just now Chicago is
the greatest source of supply. The world
must look to this city for its wheat. In
the elevators here are stored 10000, 009
bushels of that grain. There is compare
tiyely little wheat at other points, and
except 5000. 600 bushels in store at New
York, there is no wheat on the Ameri
can seaboard.
There is little afloat to foreign markets,
and the millers of the Northwest are buy
ing the wheat stored in that part of the
country at higher prices than it can be
sold for here
The foreign traders know of the i'm
mense quantities of wheat in store here
and had the mistaken idea that they could
buy 1t Mt their own price any time they
wanted it. The Chicago owners of IL g
26, 600, 900 bushels have ample capital to
hold their property until they can get q
suitable price for it.
The furry, today was not due to the
rushing of the shorts to cover, but to the
sudden and general demand for grain.
Trading was so fast and furious that the
pit presented a panic scene and it is esti-
mated that, 80 minutes from the opening
more than o,000, 900, bushels of wheat
changed hands
Ed Pardridge. who is said to be short
1000, 900 or 5000, 600 bushels of wheat.
did not seem worried over the sharp ad
vance, although the first hours trading
meant a loss of $1,000 to him. His
brokers did no buying for his account il
was said.
Armour x Co. will make an enormous
profit by the advance, as the firm is
credited with owning 10000, 600 of the
26, 600, 900 bushels in the local elevators.
Wheat has advanced seven cents since
week ago, and at that rate the firm s win
nings amount to $40, 900.
W. IT, Baker, president of the board, is
also said to be heavy winner.

mIkADO'S PROCLAMATION.
Praises All for Loyalty and Looks Forward 10
Peace With All Nations.

London, April go The Central News
correspondent at Toxic telegraphs the
summary of an Imperial proclamation is
sued, today. to the Japanese people
The Emperor states that he Ia convinced
that the peace concluded at Shimoneski
Will promote national prosperity, which
has ever been his highest aim. Tho
glorious result Of the war, he says, was
achieved by the harmonious efforts of tho
whole nation.
The ministers, the army, the navy and
the peoples representatives in the Diet
have done everything In their power to
make Japan strong and ready to realize
the Emperor's aspiration. They omitted
nothing in perfecting the plans of ma
tional defence.
The soldiers and sailors of the empire
have won everlasting glory by their be-
havior abroad. They advanced and fought
unmindful of the winters bitter cold and
summers blazing heat. and they tri-
umphtd everywhere. They have earned
a worldwide reputation for discipline and
humanity, and no praise is too high for
their loyalty and valor and glory. Both
have added to the empire. but much re-
maius to be done in the march toward n
h'Suci ciNlliLdbiOu IL Is I'D DC 0Opeu That
the loyal subjects of the empire will
realize this and guard against the dangers
OF vanity and conceit
They should cultivate spirit of mod
esty and humility and strive to perfect
their military defences, although without
going to extremes Of national armament.
They should promote education and seek
to know reiinements-but not efreminancy
of life.
The Emperor rebukcs sharply those.
who, in the iltoxication of victory, seem
inclined to insult friendly powers and
complicate the empires foreign relations.
No breaches of faith have been reported
and the exchange OF the treaty ratifica-
tions should inaugurate period of for
giveness and friendship Every endeavor
should be made to live in peace and good
will with the nations Of the earth
The Emperor closes his proclamation
with the statement that strict obedience
OF his wishes, as indicated in this docu-
inent, will be exacted from all subjects. :
