some effect early. May wheat opened at

@59a4c and then dragged slowly down to
59@591sc, closing at that price, sellers. The
prices for the next few days will probably
depend good deal on the weather, To-
morrow being holiday and no markets
In Chicago on Tuesday will probably cause
some Of the traders to even up and Gull
markets can be looked for for the next
few days.

QUEEN VIC IN EGYPT
England Will Never Give Up There
Until Forced

New York, April 2.-The Paris edition
OF the Herald today prints a statement OH
the Egyptian question signed by NJ.
Henri Rochefort, of which the following
is g synopsis:
There are two things; to which Eng
land will never consent-the consfruc-
ton of a bridge over the channel and the
evacuation of Egypt. The English will
let the powers continue to protest against
the continual delays of evacuation, but
they are daily growing more determined
not to quit.
''The expedition to Dongola, perchance
to Suakim, was invented only in order to
justify refusal to withdraw from Egypt
the army which Lord Salisbury, on the
contrary, has decided upon reinforcing.
He will rack his imagination to invent
grounds acceptable or not for the ever
lasting prolongation of the British occu
patton, but whatever happens, whatever
response he receives or whatever objec-
tions may be. made, he will not cvacuate
Egypt, That is my firm conviction.
based upon numerous conversations had
on the subject with several members of
the house OF commons, particularly with
Irish mem bers, who, being opposed to the
English policy. had no reason TO conceal
it's undercu1rents from me.
But although the danger of European
diplomatic action troubles but little an
English ministry, there is another peril
arising UP before British pride that
causes terror to men like Lord Cromer,
the most expert of all statesmen in
Egyptian matters--the possibility of de-
feat before Dongola. With her fleet Eng
land can in our part Of the globe hope to
meet every move and hold her own
against all corners. In the Soudan she
can count only on the endurance Of her
soldiers and the vaior of her officers. In
those regions one man is as good as an
other, and q good Soudanese has many a
time and oft proved that he is equal to at
least two other men.
The question our diplonlatists are
vainly endeayoring to solve will perhaps
be settled by the Soudanese and if Egypt
is ever to be evacuated by the English it
Will be after a battle is Waged before the
walls Of Dongola or before Suakim that
will determine the evacuation question:

that the Italian stronghold was held by

Jubilee Singers.

The next attraction for the Holy Rosary
parish in the way Of amusement will be
Slayton's Jubilee Singers. These are
colored, and any one having ever heard
the rich, melodious voice of the Southern
negro will doubtless be eager to grasp
this opportunity of being carried back in
imagination to the Sunny South and lis
ten again to tine sweet strains Of the plan
tation songs, and those who have not
heard anything Of the kind should seek
this occasion to learn why our colored
brother has always been so happy even
in adversely. Besides the negro melo-
dies, these singers will also give several
other productions. One of them is called
a :'bhack Patti and another a "brown
Patti" and from the recommendation
given, they sustain their reputation most
admirably. They will appear in Holy
Rosary hall on April 18th.

GETTING READY.
Activity Shown in Naval Circles
on the Pacific Coast.
WAR VESSELS ARE BEING PREPARED,
Heavy Stocks of Ammunition Placed In
the Magazines at Mare Island Navy
MISREPRESENTATION Regarding
the Action.

San Francisco, Dec. 26.-The war YES
sells upon this coast are preparing for
an emergency. The magazines at Marc
Island are being heavily stocked with
ammunition and there is feeling OF
unrest among the officers of the navy,
who are liable at any moment to be
ordered to sea. While the heads of the
various branches of the navy depart
ment are in consultation Mt Washing.
ton, discussing the proper modes for
defending the seaboard cities Of the
country, action has been taken here
that seems to demonstrate that, in the
opinion of the directing powers, it is
we'll to be ready for anything that may
occur at short notice.
During the week orders were received
from the ordnance department at Wash
lngton to supply Mare Island with $780,.
600 rounds Of 3S-caliber cartridges for
navy revolvers. This order came to
Charles Sonntag & Co., and that firm
hos been kept busy ever since filling it.
The ammunition will be landed at the
navy yard, from which point it may be
taken by the various war vessels among
which it may be distributed. That 1907
0C0 rounds of revolver ammunition
should be sent to Mare Island at this
time is considered more than mere
coincidence by men who are acquainted
with the manner in which the navy de-
partment conducts it's affairs. 1t is
generally believed that it is the inten-
ton of the authorities at Washington
to put all the depots of naval supplies
upon what may be termed an emergency
footing.
AS navy revolvers of SO caliber would
be effective only at close quarters, the
opinion has been suggested that the
heavy order sent to Sonntag may mean
that the government intends to send a
strong force into Cuban waters for the
protection of American interests upon
the island. The usual allowance of am
munition allowed man in battle is so
rounds. Taking the usual allowance of
ammunition as the basis of calculation,
the 100000 rounds sent to Mare Island
would provide cartridges for the re.
volvers of 5000 men.
1t is known among military men here
that the Dupont Powder company OF
Delaware is under contract with the
government to furnish great guam.
tity Of powder. So urgent is this order
that the Dupont factories are working
night and day, turning out tons and
tons of powder. Most Of this has been
assigned to the navy departments, which
is preparing to stock the magazines OF
oil the federal war vessels in both
oceans. When the heavy order for am.
munition at Mare island is considered
in connection with the order given the
Duponts, government officers confess
that the army and navy are being pre-.
pared to answer at short notice any
call that may be made upon them.
