NEW YORK WHEAT MARKET Exc
CUTEs GYMNASTICS.


Anything Seen for Weeks in the Way of
Dizziness, 1t Suddenly Scents Big Export
Business and has Visions of the Flying
Squadron Churning Up the Placid Medi-
terranean, and the Shorts Break Their
Necks Getting Back What has Gone SO
Easily EarIier-The Grain Markets
New York, Jan. 24!The wheat mar
ket enjoyed the Two extremes Of move
ment today, the morning session being
without doubt the Gul!est in three weeks
and the late afternoon the most active.
There was a jump in prices then that
startled the trade. The bulk Of the
days transactions was done in the last
hour, when the shorts, frightened by re-
ports OF large export business, and news
that Great Britain's flying squadron had
been ordered to the MeteTranean, tum-
bled into the pit in q fierce endeayOr TO
buy back the wheat they had sold with a
free hand during the morning. May
wheat jumped from 6914 cents TO Il lie
cents in three quarters of an. hour, and
closed a cent higher than last night.
Certain rumOrs which leaked out
among the dealers in cash wheat in New
York today, made it appear that an at
tempt is being made to squeeze the
shorts in the February and March OPP
tons, and that negotiations looking 10
the absorption of all the available con-
tract wheat at New York, about 10000
bushels, including No. 2 red, No. l north
ern and No. hard, have been quietly
going on for some time past under the
nose of the trade.
1t came to light today that prac-
tically the whole stock Of No. , red
which has been held by Fowler Brothers,
had been bought up in the past two
days, ostensibly for export or milling,
but, according to rumor, for Mcintyre
and WardweH, who are said TO be en-
gineering the deal. This firm, it is al
legged, has recently been a heavy buyer
of cash contract here, at one time TAX
ing, it is said, block of 100000 bushels
of No. northern wheat. This has reach
ed the ears of the trade from time to
time, as export dealings, and No l had
a suspicion that any house was quietly
preparing bomb in the shape Of a cor
ner in February and March. The small
stock Of contract supplies in New York
at this time. makes it a comparatively
easy matter to establish a corner, as
waterways will not be open until late
in April, and to bring grain here from
the west by rail at present rates would
be as bad as paying the advance in a
corner.

HAVANA. Juno 10. - General Lee,
while out for a walk, paid visit TO the

lio Sanguily aad the prisoners taken on
board the schooner Competitor, who are

geon along with negro prisoners. Al
frcdo Laborde, who is said to have been
tho leader OF the Competitor expedition
and who is an American citizen, was
found to be very sick. He said that he
was suffering from grippe.
When asked why he had not been taken
to the hospital, I4abOrde replied that the
doctor had informed him that he would
get better care while confined in the fort
ress.
Laborde was very pale and was support
cd by two other prisoners during the in
terviow. He did not complain of bad
treatment, though the air OF the dungeon
where he was confined was damp and the
walls moist
Consul General Lee, having learned
that the officer of the guard was repri-
manded by the governor of the fortress
for allowing tho visit, visited Captain
General weyler to.cfTer his excuses. Cap.
tain General Weyler, however apparently
did not think badly Of General Lees visit
To the prisoners, although it oontrayened

Weyler Of tho sickness Of the prisoners
andof the bad condition of their dungeon,
and General Wcyler promised that they

priation bills which have been before con

have been memorable in one respect had
member OF the class which received diplo-
mas from Secretary Herbert carried out
the wishes of his father, that he proceed
TO whip Captain Philip II. Cooper, super

Interference. Kenneth q. Castleman was
a member of the class, and his father,
Colonel Castleman, Is a typical kentuck-
ian Colonel Castleman, with his wife,
visited the school to see his son graduated,
and while there took young Castleman on
rides
There Is a regulation which prohibits
cadets from riding about tho town In oar
riages, and Castleman was reported to the
superintendent for infraction OF the rules.
The offenso was not serious, and probably
called only for a few domerits.- Colonel
Castleman. however, thought that Cap
tain Cooper was guilty of a piece of inter
ference, and advised his boy to resign his
commission and then, as civilian, pro-
ceed to trounco the superintendent It is
said TINT no promised his son good sum

honor by whipping the superintendent,
but the young man looked at the mnttar
IN another light and is still oadet. 10 Is
fortunate for young Castleman that he
did not attempt to lick the superintendent,
for he then would have been court mar
tialed and sentenced to confinement on
the prison ship Snntee. AS civilian he
probably would have been arrested and
fined So, Naval officers IA Washington say

entire affidavit, made some time ago, in
which he laid the instigation Of the muir
der of John Doherty at the door of Aga
pto Abeytia, was false, and that he made
the affidavit under intimidation. But on
Monday morning he took the stand, and,
after first asking the protection of the
court, said that he would tell the truth,
although it would hopeessly involve him
self in the affair. He SAID that Abeytia
paid him to kill both Doherty and Tom
Walton and that after taking the pay he
was bounded by Abeytia continually, for
not doing the job; that he would go to
the sherff's office, of which Abeytia was
in charge, and the doors would always be
locked, and the plans of the murder would
be discussed He said that he had paid
Victor Lujan to do the deed, just as

WOMAN QUESTION UPPERMOST
Discussion Of Eligibility of Women in
General Methodist Conference
Still Continues.
THE DELEGATES THOROUGHLY AROUSED
Profound Sensation Caused in Cleve-
land by Announcement That 5000
Polish Catholics Have Decif'
to Join the Methodists.

Cleveland, May 5.--No sooner had
Bishop Andrews called the general Meth
odist Episcopal conference to order this
natl, presented resolution providing
for tho appointment of specinl commit
tee to pass on all communications from
laymen.
This committee was to consist of one
minister and one laymen from each dis
trict.
After good deal of debate, in which
Rev. DR.. Shier, of Detroit, expressed re-
gret that any feeling existed between the
clergy and the laity, the resolution was
adopted.
The woman question was then precipi-
tated by President Daniel Stevenson, of
Union College, KY, criticising the action
of the bishops in deciding against women
in 1888.
Rev. G. Neely led the fight against the
women. He held the question to be one
of law purely. He said it was true that
the Bible said that mel. and women were
one in Christ, but not in the general cor
ference. He held that in this church the
status Of women was different from that
of men. The question, he said, Is con-
stltutional one and no ono was to be ad-
mitted unless specially mentioned.
The delegates we're thoroughly aroused
and feeling ran high.
Judge Capless, of Oregon; Senator ftar-
Ian and DR.. Buckley, of New York; Rev.
DR.. Harris, of Maine; Rev. DR.. james
Chaffey, of Minneapolis; Rev. DR.. j. W.
Hamilton, DR.. J. Z. Ray and DR.. Emery
Miller, of Iowa, and other mea prominent
in circles of the church spoke upon the
question.
When the hour for adjournment arrived,
the conference discontinued the debate
and will resume it tomorrow morning,
where it was left to-day.
No business will be done until the
women question is settled.
CAUSED PROFOUND SENSATION.
Cleveland, Ohio.-A profound sensa-
tion has arisen in the church of Imma-
colate Heart OF the Blessed Virgin Mary,
independent Catholic, organized in
this city three years ago, and presided
over by Father A. F. Kolaszewski.
Father Kolaszewski and his 5000
Polish parishoners desire to ally them
selves with the Methodist Episcopal
church, it ia said.
Chaplain G. G. McCabe, of the Metho-
dist general conference, said: "They do
not believe in the infallibility of the pope
and in transubstantiation any long err"
Father Kalaszewski declined to discuss
the subject.

GOOD FOR SILVER IOWA.
Returns Received at Democratic
Headquarters In Hawkeyc state
show Well for silver.

Ottumwa, Iowa, May 5.-Returns to
Secretary Walsh, Of the Democratic state
central committee, show that twenty
three county convention have been held
in Iowa. These counties hada represen-
tation of 244 in the convention of last
year and will havea voting strength OF
2O5 in the coming convention.
In 1895 they cast los votes for free sill
yer and 139 for gold. They will cast at
Dubuque, If the delegates obey the in
structions of their county conventions,
143 for free silver and go for gold.
This shows conclusively that the state
will be for free silver, as the counties YET
to hold conventions are unquestioned
silver counties.
