MANY DAYS OVERDUE.
Grave Fears for the Safety Of the British
Bark Lorton,

PORTLAND, Or, Jan 12-Shipping
men have grave fears for the safety of the
British bark Lorton, which is now out
over sixty days from Mazatlan, Mexico,
for this port. The bark was due month
ago, and her wheat charter expired on De-
cember 81.
The Lorton sailed from Liverpool June 9,
and arrived at Mazatlan October %. There
she discharged a part of her cargo, and
sailed on November for this city. The
Lorton is well known here, having been
in port a number of times in charge of
Captain Steele, whose place was afterward
taken by Captain Archer. She registers
1880 tons, and carries crew OF about
twenty men,

journal IN, Trouble.
HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. 12.-Charles A.
Soloman, who claimed he was CORE
spondent of the Journal of New York, was
arrested here to-day on the arrival of the
steamer Seneca, on which he had travelled
from New York. The authorities had
been notified of his departure, and of the
fact that he was suspected OF being in
league with the insurgents. 1t is sup
posed that compromising letters were
found in his possession. He was lodged
in jail, and the officials refuse to allow
any one to have communication with him.
Antonio Maceo, the rebel leader, and his
command are reported to be in the vicinity
of Quivican and San Felipe, moving east.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 12.-Charles
A. Solomon, who was arrested in Havana
upon his arrival there, is young journal
ist well known among newspaper men in
this city. Ever since he became engaged
in newspaper work he has made specially
Of South American news, and is. perhaps,
better known at the Consulates of South
American countries in this city than any
other writer. He was daily caller al the
Cuban Junta and also at the Spanish Con-
sulate, showing no favor to either side.
Salomon decided last week to go to Cuba
to look over the places he had written
about, and sailed for Havana on the
Seneca last Wednesday afternoon. 1t is a
well-known fact that all persons, reporters
especially, who visit the Cuban Junta in
this city are watched regularly by detec-
tives, and that their movements are re-
ported to the Spanish authorities. The
young mans regularity in going there
after news has no doubt led to his being
suspected as a sympathizer with the Cuban
cause and his arrest.

Keep 1t Moving.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE price of de
cember wheat closed today at an ad-
vance of exactly 81 cents over .ssyester-
days final figure. The bulge was.di-
rectly attributable to {. strong foreign
market and was accompanied by scenes
of excitement seldom witnessed on the
floor. Corn and oats followed in the
wake of wheat, advancing J. cent and q
of cent, respectively. Provisions were
also strong and closed much higher.
The semi-excited state of the wheat
market as yesterdays session was com
ing to close, was increased this morn
ing into fairly good specimen Of gen.
eral alarm. The fear was we'll grounded,
as it turned out. There was not a single
bushel to be had for less than l28 cents
advance on yesterday closing price and
very little at under "a cents. or Ia cents
higher than it closed for December de-
livery. The reason for such sudden
and material rise, following the big
jump of the previous day, stuck clear
out from the official bulletin boards.
Foreign markets led the scramble, Just
as they did on tho day before. Public
dispatches from Liverpool quoted an ad-
vance over night of 212d per Genital,
which is equivalent to 3 cents per bushel.
Private cablegrams reported Liverpool
and London wheat markets excited at
the advance already named. New York
wired that foreigners were active buyers
there and claimed that ITS boatloads,
equal to 1,40O,0C0 bushels, were taken
there and at out ports yesterday. With
that for starter, prices bid for Decem-
Der, at the opening, we're from 731ss cents
to "A, against 72ls cents at the end Of
yesterdays session. The crowd had
scarcely got accustomed to "a cent wheat
when further dispatches of an exciting
character startled them again, and the
price rose to 747s cents.
A private cablegram reported the Rer-
lin market excited and marks higher,
that being equivalent to 31s cents per
bushel. 1t is no wonder that the specu-
lators scrambled for wheat, and they

Special to The TRIBUEE.

HELENA, Oct 17.-The supreme court
heard arguments this morning in the
injunction proceedings instituted against
the clerks and recorders of Granite and
Deer Lodge counties, to restrain those
officials from placing the name of Theo
Brantley on the official ballot as the
nominee of the silver republicans for
Judge of the Third district. This after
noon the proceedings instituted against
County Clerk Tooker, to prevent his
placing the names Of the nominees of the
silver republicans of Lewis and Clarke
county upon the ballot, came before the
same tribunal. An unusually large
number of spectators were present, in
Guiding many well-known attorneys r..
G. Bach, Of counsel for Tooker, moved to
dismiss on the ground that the action
had been brought in the name OF the
state, when, according to the supreme
courts of California and Nevada, only
the attorney general can institute ali
action in the name of the commonwealth,
which had not been done in this case
The court decided to hear testi-
mony and pass on the motion
later. Several witnesses testified as
to how the silver republican
ticket came to be filed in the clerks
Office. Senator Mantle was the chief
witness for Tooker. He gave the history
of the creation of the silver republican
party at the late state convention and
answered no end of questions put by
Justices Dewitt and Hunt as to the du-
ties of the state and county central com
mittees, especially as to the latter's au-
thority to mako up silver republican
county tickets when the republicans in
nearly all the counties had placed tick
cts in the field before tho existence of
the silver republican party. The court
adjourned until Monday morning, when

any kind and the only chance anxious
ehorts had was when speculator, eatis-
tied with the profit in sight, put his line
on the market There was plenty of
this done, but everything was grabbed
at, and the price never stopped advanc.

After this came reaction sufficient to
break the price of December to 1915 at
