A GIGANTIC DEAL.
The Wheat Crop Said TO Have Been
cornered by Syndicate.
THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
The Senior Bishop OF the Methodist Church
Lays the Cornerstone of the Hall
OF History at the Ma
tiOnal Capital

New YORK, Oct. 81. -.Rumors of
gigantic deal in wheat are partially
confirmed by advices to grain men in
this city from their western corre.
spondents In nutshell, it Is alleged
that the bulk of the wheat crop has
been cornered by a western syndicate
representing $50, 100000 of capital,
and that those interested have already
made fortunes on the rise In
the price Of the cereal. The specula-
ton, 1t is said, originated in
St Louis in August, and has since been
directed from that city and from Chi
cago and Minneapolis Fortune has
favored the pool from the outset. A
short foreign crop was figured on and
the calculations of the spectators to
this extent have been realized. Under
the circumstances, an advance was
looked for, and they began quietly to Sc
cure as much cash wheat as possible. st.
Louis led off in the buying movement,
and then the tip was passed on, it is
said, to Chicago, and subsequently, to
Minneapolis. Then the pool started
to boom wheat. They were old hands
at the business and knew how to pro-
coed. All the cash wheat in sight was
bought up and stored in elevators,
with the natural result that cash wheat
touched 50 cents bushel and kept on
advancing in price.
The American Methodist University.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The corner
stone of the hall of history, the first of
the buildings to comprise the American
Methodist university, was laid this aft
ernoon in the presence of q large
crowd of spectators and with interest
ing exercises The ceremonies were
conducted by The senior bishop of the
Methodist church, Thomas NJ Bow
man, assisted by the officers of the dis
trict grand lodge of masons. Mr.. John
E. Andrews, of New York, president
of the board of trustees, was presiding
officer. The programme opened with
a prayer read by Rev. Stephen New
man, pastor of the First Congregation
al church of this city. Bishop Hurst,
chancellor OF the university, whose
indefatigable efforts made possible
the proceedings of to-day, delivered
the Introductory address. Following
Bishop Hurst, there were addresses by
eX-Gov Pattison, of Penn, ylvania;
Bishops Wilson, Fowler, Newman and
McCabe, and Revs Charles P Payne
and j. M. Buckley. The laying of the
corner-stone,a granite block 5x5x3 feet,
by Bishop bowman was followed by
singing of America" and the exer-
cises closed with the responsive read
ing of the 33d Psalm and hymn writ
ten for the occasion by Rev. Samuel IL
Beiler. vice chancellor.

CHICAGO, Oct 21-Republicau and
democratic clubs are planning rival
street parades on the night of October.
81, which promise TO end in political
riot The democratic local leaders
first announced big parade of the sill
yer forces on November 1, Sunday.
Chairman Jones, however, refused to
sanction the action, and in the mean
time the republicans had secured per-
init to parade in the business section
the preceding night. The democrats
afterwards asked for permission to pa
rade the same night, which was re-
fused by the chief of police, who feared
trouble would ensue. The democratic
leaders declare they will parade de-
spite the police order.
The Naval War Records.
WASHINGTON, Oct 91-Superintend-
ent Richard Rush, in charge of the pub
LEGATION of the naval war records, in his
annual report TO the secretary of the
navy, says that during the past year
the second and third volumes of the
war records have been published. The
fourth volume is in the hands of the
printer and it is hoped that two more
volumes will be ready for the press
during the current fiscal year. The
reports OF the union commanders are
fairly complete, but great difficulty
has been met in obtaining those of the
confederate commanders, owing in
part to the destruction by fire of a
large part of the archives Of the con-
federate navy department.
A Colorado Gold Mine Sold.

Mexican Army Reorganization.
Mexico CITY, Mex, Oct 81. Great
concern is noticed in military and pri-
vate circles over the proposed reorgan-
ization of the Mexican army. One of
the reforms under contemplation by
the secretary of war, and which has
caused considerable speculative talk,
is the compulsory service, such as is i'm
vogue in many Europeans countries.
The idea meets with The approval Of
all the leading generals Of the repub-.
lie, as it will do away with the method
OF conscripting an undesirable element
into the army.
