MARKET LETTER.

WHEAT--Last week showed an
exceptionally active speculative mark
ct in both May and July wheat, the
market being much firmer and char
acterized by rapid advances at the
close of the week. Wednesday saw
MAY wheat touch the low mark of 63c
and Saturdays close was 674c, being
an advance OF over two cents over the
close of the night before of 65s. The
firmness of the market was again
demonstrated yesterday when, after
opening at 679@665, and slumping of
to 66t, closed at $50, being another
advance of nearly two cents over the
lowest point of the day. While these
rapid advances are too feverish per-
hsps to be healthy, there is no reason
why wheat should be lower than the
present price, and every reason to ex-
pect further advances within the near
future. Although the Nor hwestern
receipts still continue much larger
than at this time last year; this bear
Wish feature is more than countef tied
by the higher foreign cables, due &c, a
shortage in the European crop. The
market may react somewhat, but in
ali probability will touch70c before 65c
and we consider it purchase on all
breaks, A small Investment last week
would have yielded heavy profits.

The first Democrat whose seat is
contested to be reported against is
Representative Tarsney, of Missouri &.
The committee on Elections, No 2, by
a strict party vote, decided to-day that
he was not entitled 10 his seat. 1t is
probable that the case will be called
up next week. 1t is understood that
only two hours debate will be al
lowed. Mr.. Tarsney is an able mem-
Der of the Ways and Means Commit
tee and is one of the prominent Demo
Gratis in the House. The Republicans
have no case against him and it will
be an outrage to deprive Kim of BIS
seat.

Sen. Lodge Turned Down In The
Senate.
A BREACH OF TIE PATH
Not Even Granted Second To
. His Motion.
4 BREACH OF THE FAITH
Representative Tarsney TO Go.

The C"urier-J Journals Washington
correspondent of Saturday says:
Never before was a United States
Senator sat upon so heavily by his
colleagues as was Mr.. Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts, this afternoon. In face of
the agreement made yesterday by
unanimous consent that vote on the
Bond Bill should be had to-day at 2
o'clock, and the pacifying speech made
this afternoon by Senator Hoar, who
stated that under the circumstances he
would not feel at liberty TO offer an
amendment to the Funding Bill, as it
would be violation of the agreement
made yesterday, Mr.. Lodge had the
hardihood after Senate's substitute
had been adopted to offer his amend
ment, providing for the issuance of
500, 100000 of bonds, the proceeds of
which were to be used for coast de-
lenses.
There was a sharp disposition to
hiss for this breach on the part OF
Lodge, but the Senators restrained
themselves. Senator Teller at once
moved to lay the amendment on the
table. Lodge called for the yeas and
nays, but as no one would second his
demand Teller's motion prevailed, and
Lodges buncombe amendment was
laid on the table.
1t has always been the rule to second
demand for the yeas and nays, and
had circumstances been different a
second could have been obtained. But
this malicious attempt to break faith
was more than the Senate could stanC,
and the result was the Senate rubbed
it in" on the junior Senator from Mas
sachusetts. 1t was common talk this
evening that Mr.. Lodges usefulness
as a Senator has been destroyed. Per,
haps this is an exaggeration, but il
will be long time before he will be
persona grata with his colleagues in
the Senate.

Jack wrenched his whiskers and said
angrily: You needn't talk that way
to me. / may not be quite so slick as
you are, Joe, and my whiskers may
not be so pretty, but I think l am as
better. / noticed you have always

bond to the tune of $260.000 And you

THE PHILADELPHIA RECEPTION.
The VicerOy Indulges His Penchant for
Asking Questions.

Asking Questions
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Ali Hung
Chang, the Chinese viceroy, paid a flying
visit to this city yesterday and received u
royal welcome. His first ride in an Amer
lean railway train ended at Germantown
junction, where he stepped from his mag
nificently appointed special into the midst
of vast crowd of civic and military dig
nitaries arrayed there to receive him and
"a horde of enthusiastic citizens.
From the station he was escorted in
state to Independence Hall, where Mayor
Warwick extended the formal welcome of
the city and the ambassador made a felici-
tous response. This ceremony concluded,
Lis wishes were consulted, and as he was
fatigued from his journey, he preferred to
go straightway to his apartments at the
Hotel Walton. At the hotel he rested for
three hours, and at $3.50 in the afternoon
was escorted to the Union League, where
the crowd was so dense that the old vice
roy almost succumbed to the heat. After
the league reception he was taken to
Broad street station, and at 4 80 o'clock,
his train steamed out for Washington
The intention had been to show Ii
through the Baldwin Locomotive works
and Cramps shipyard, and elaborate ar
rangements had been made to that end.
At the last moment, however, the viceroy
upset all prearanged plans and decided
that the League reception should be the
only function in which he would partici-
pate.
On the trip to Independence Hall the
viceroy occupied carriage with Mayor
Warwick, General Ruger and Interpreter
Lob Feng Lou, and during the journey
down Broad street he INDUCED his pen
chant for asking questions. He asked the
mayor how old he was and if he was rich 4;
demanded TO know whether his salary
was larger than that of the mayor of New
York, and asked what else he did besides
being mayor, The way was long and slow,
however, and Ii first grew impatient and
then sleepy The mayor and the interpre-
ter talked to him constantly to keep him
awake. At Independence Hall Ii seemed
to be considerably impressed by the his
toric associations of the place,
During his rest at the Hotel Walton he
received brief visit from Wharton Barker,
and called upon Mr.. and Mrs. John Rus
sell Young, whose rooms We're across the
hall from his own suite, He dandled their
little son Gordon upon his knee and
asked If he was named after Chinese
Gordon He seemed disappointed when
told that he was not, but presented the
boy with medal before he left. He also
gave to Mrs Young some valuable silks
and quantity of tea from China
The viceroy ate a heartydinner Of potatoes
fried in rosin oil, ducks eggs four months
old, four bowls of birds nests soup, two
boiled chickens sliced as thin as paper and
covered with oil--all served cold The
.ellnper WAS prepared by his four native
cooks ana served by three native walters.
