Chicago Grain Letter.

Lamson Bros. and Co.'S grain letter by
private wire TO the Alamo Brokerage
Co, 203 Alamo plaza, San Antonio, Tex
CHICAGO, Ills. June 13.-Wheat: The
past week has been activ and exciting one,
the board The bulge which started last
week Thursday termirated on Monday,
and proved only soda-water affair, as
the entire gain was lost. While some Of
our local professionals have undoubtedly
been Instrumental In causing the wide
range, the trade in general has also had
hand in the market, but have been
whip-sawed TO such an extent, that more
than the ordinary precaution has been
exercised the past two days. On the first
down turn to IS 3-S, the long interest
had been eliminated, and the situation
looked so weak number OF bulls had
undoubtedly sold short. BY the time the
market touched sixty, this interest was
apparently pretty we'll covered and the
buying from that point to 6315 seemed TO
or two professionals, but when they all
tried to unload, there were no buyer: in
other words the trade was not caught
mapping, and were equally as anxious to
sell. This started the break, and the
beariSh news that came to hand aided Ii
along and on THURSDAY $50 had been
touched, bat three cents recovered In a
few minutes on large SNORT covering,
market today closing barely steady about
IA cents over low point. The small de-
crease In the visible from week TO week,
and the large receipts in the northwest
are disappointing as are also the large
shipments from the Baltic, Black Sea and
Danubian ports. These latter shipments
and the government report were the
principal causes for the decrease, but the
belief Is quite prevalent that the govern
ment is incorrect, that the crop condi-
lions are not as favorable as it would in
dictate.
There has been little change In the
coarse grain market the past week
Everything seems against holders, and
bears take advantage Of any little advance
to sell short While the low prices are
tempting, there is so much old corn held
by cribbers and farmers, snd new croI
prospects are so favorable that there l:
little speculative demand.
Provisions show some recovery, the
consumptive demand seems good and
unless receipts of hogs should overrun thu
estimates. there appears some encourage
ment for holders around present prices.

A I,ittla Game of Poker. ,

George Mckenzie and r. w.
Cannon went into Morton's saloon
on Avenue d yesterday afternoon
to engage in friendly game OF
poker. AS the game progressed 1t
grew more interesting and McKen-
zie raised the ante. When McKen-
zie had up about $50 row broke
out and somebody was accused OF
ringing in a cold deck. In the
hubbub, Mckenzie claims, some
one got away with his $50. McKen-
zie did not believe in losing money
that way and notified the police.
Cannon was arrested last night
about 10 o'clock at the Sunset pas
senger depot by Detective Shoaf on
charge of gaming. He had q
valise with him, and was with an
other man, who seemed to be his
friend.

SEWER CAUCUS HELD.
Citizens Committee, Aldermen, Engin-
GERS and Bidders Present
Yesterday

Yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock,
committee, which was appointed some
months ago to look into the delay in
the sewer work and report on its con-
dition. attended a called caucus of the
aldermen in the city hall council room,
to consider the bids for the completion
of the sewer system and discuss the
matter of the classification of soft and
hard rock excavations and fix the con-
tract price for same.
There were present of this committee
Messrs. j. L. Slayden, ]. S. Lockwood,
f. Groos and Albert Maverick.
Mr.. w. H. Weiss, president of the
San Antonio Street Car company, was
also present as an interested party.
The sewer bidders, the engineer and
his assistant, Mr. Ed. Trueheart, with
City Attorney Minor were in attend
ance.
The mayor first read a communica-
ton from Mr.. ]. B. Crandall, one of the
bidders, saying that he was not in
formed that there was to be a change
in the bidding, allowing 16 per cent
brick in the outside rim of the sewers,
until about ten minutes before time of
opening of the bids on the 10th instant;
ne ilOl lllllt W dllONuSi
bid, otherwise he could have bid as
low as $4,000 for the work.
Assistant Engineer Trueheart, in a
communication to the mayor, said he
had not only told Mr.. Crandalps fore
man of the contemplated change in
plenty of time that morning, but had
also sent special word to Mr.. Crandall
by Mr. G. w. Caldwell, engineer on
the work. Mr.. Caldwell had given Mr..
Crandall the message at 10 o'clock, as
he also testified in a signed communica-
ton.
AS IL would be a manifest injury to
the other bidders on the work, and as
Mr.. Crandall would have been granted
the necessary time to have made his
bid on the contemplated change, had
he appeared when the bids were open
ed, as were Berg & Schryver, and as
such a proceeding would be out of all
known practice in such matters, ii was
the sense of the gentlemen assembled
that his communication could only be
received and no further action taken.
The discussion that followed for the
next hour was on the cost of the eXca-
walton of the hard rock and loose rock
yet to be encountered, and as to the
probable cost OF eXcavating same. 1t
was figured that there were 226000
yards yet to be eXcavated.
The caucus finally adjourned to meet
again tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock
in the council room.

PROMINENT PILIBUSTERs.
Accused By a Florida Emmissary Of
Spain With Equipping the Bermuda.

By Special Wire TO the s UNDAY LIGHT,
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 13.-
John ID. Hart, the head Of the
Hart Steamship line, and Captain
T.. G.. Reilly, of the steamer Bsr-
muda, were arrested shortly be-
fore noon today on warrants charg-
ing them with engaging in the re-
cent filibustering expedition on
the Bermuda. A warrant has al
so been issued in the same con-
nection for the arrest Of Colonel
Emilio NuneZ, the well known
Cuban leader, who resides in
Philadelphia, and was given a
United States marshal to serve.
Messrs. Hart ana Reilly were ar
raigned before a United States
commissioner this afternoon.
The warrants for the arrest Of
the men were sworn to at Jackson
vile, Fla, by one Enrique de
Mariatiques, before United States
Commissioner Eagan, for the
southern district OF Florida. He
alleged the accused "did, on April
9th, at Jacksonville provide and
prepare the means for military
expedition against the kingdom OF
Spain"
When Hart and Reilly ap-
pear.d before United States Com
missioner Craig this afternoon
they were held in 81 900 bail each
for further hearing here on June
18th. Should the accused be held
by the court they will be tried In
Jacksonville, where the offense Is
alleged to have been committed.

GALVESTON AN OCEAN PORT.
Southern Pacific Will Build To the Island
and Save a Long Haul To New
Orleans Water,

By Special Wire to the SUNDAY LIGHT.
SAN Francisco, June 13.-It is
ann ounced today on authority OF
Traffic Manager Stubs, that the
Southern Pacific railroad will
shortly make Galveston the entire
port of the Atlantic steamship
line instead OF New Orleans.
AS soon as Galveston harbor
shall have been dredged to the
proper depth, the Morgan line
steamers will carry trans-conti-
mental freight to that port, reduc-
ing the rail haul 3ll miles and
giving the Sunset Route a greater
competing advantage.
1t is said the Southern Pacific
will extend its line from Houston
to Galveston instead OF using the
Gulf, Colorado and Sante Fe be-
tween those pointe, as it does at
present.

Irregularities in Uncle Sans Big
Money Factory Developed
BY Special Wire to the Sunday Light.
Philadelphia. June 13.-Mr. A. F..
Chanfrau, until recently weigh clerk
i'm the United States mint, was dis
charged this morning by Commits
sioner Wright, of the charge Of be
ing responsible for the disappearance
of 81 silver pieces, uncurrent coin,
from the vaults of that institution.
A like case against Mr.. Chanfrau, for
the disappearance of 3.13 ounces of
gold was dismissed last week by
United States Commissioner Craig.
The strongest witness who appeared
against the accused in either case was
Mr.. Plonski, who was Chanfrau's
assistant. Superintendent Cade was
also an effective witness against the
accused. but from all the evidence
adduced during the trial the POSSIBLE
ity was clearly established that some
one else other than Chanfrau
might have purloined the metal
from Uncle Sans strong box
and the accused was given the benifit
of the doubt and discharged.
1t was evident the jury would have
convicted him on the testimony given
before either commissioner.
Judge Pipkin was several weeeksago
summarily dismissed from his posi-
ton in the mint by the superinten-
dent for irregularities in his office,
and it was thought that an affidavit
would be likewise sworn out against
him, but nothing has been done in
the matter. 1t is probable the indis-
cretions complained of were very
slight or cannot be proven, and SUI
perintendent Cade has notified the
United States district attorney of the
facts in his possession.
