Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal.

chicago, Feb. %.
WHEAT-Opened weak and PC lower
this morning, affected by a sharp decline
at Liverpool and an equally sharp advance
eastern war situation was regarded with
much less apprehension. The Price Cur
rent report was also very beariSh, eSpec-
tally that part referring to stocks in farm
erS' hands. Northwest receipts continued
light. Minnea polls and Duluth reporting
1873 cars against 182 last week and 465
the corresponding day of the year before.
At the decline there was enough covering
to cause the market to advance temper
made at 7312@I735sc, compared with yester-
days closing price of 74d741sc. The price
advanced under the buying referred to to
73sz 0731sc, then a reaction to 1850 fol-
lowed, but when bad crop reports were
received from st. Louis, the market
strengthened and sold up to T37s6G74c- Sen
sational Cuban news was circulated
the floor but little attention was paid to
it.
CORN-Was quiet and strong, helped by
light local receipts, 131 cars and a fairly
good demand from shorts. May opened
1sc lower at 24hc in sympathy with wheat
and advanced to A0A3sc.
OATS-Were dull but firm with corn,
local receipts amounting to 179 cars May
opened shade lower at 17d171sc and adj
vanced to 171sG17Ac.
PROVISIONS-Opene strong in sym
pathy. with firm yard prices. There was
a slight reaction. May pork opened sc
higher at 3d. declined to $500 and re-
acted to sS.05. May lard opened a shade
higher at $4.10q412A and eased off to

NO FORLORN MAIDENS
In the South Seas as Reported, but
the Men Will Go Anyway.

San Francisco. Feb. 25.-The brig.
Percy Edwards, has cleared for Tahiti
and with her goes the United Brother
hood of the South Sea Island. The
brig goes to Tahiti and from that port
will sail wherever the fancy of those
on board dictates. The expedition was
brought about by the publication in a
local paper of a story to the effect that
on st. Johns Island in the South Seas
were a number of dusky women who
were pining for husbands. All the men
had been killed in war and the women
were lonely.
A company was organized in this city
to go to the relief of the dusky damsels
and on board the Edwards are 81 men
who sigh for the tropical cline and the
easy lie in the South Seas. It has
since developed that the Adamless
Eden story was a myth, but the COM
pany organized here determined to go
some place. Each man contributed
800 to a common fund.
The old whaling brig Edwards was
bought and provisioned and today the
expedition starts.
The men are provided with agricuI-
tura1 implements and several trades
are represented They will look for
some uninhabited island and when
they have found 1t they propose to set
tie down to a life of ease

SPAIN HAD STRING
Tied to the Proposition to Release
Sanguilly.

Washington, Feb. 25-The senate
day to consider the request of the state
department that the committee do not
press it's resolution demanding the i'm
mediate release of Gen. Julio Sanguilly
from a Spanish prison in Cuba The
committee gave the subject careful at
tention, but declined to grant the re-
quest. 1t appeared from the statement
of the secretary of state that the Span
ish governments promise to release
Sanguilly was coupled with the provis-
ion that he should withdraw his appeal
from the second sentence of the Cuban
court and it was stated that release
could be secured at any time that this
condition should be complied with. The
committees discussion was on the
point and the opinion was generally
expressed that for Gen. Sanguilly to
bic for the reason that it would amount
to an acknowledgment of guilt and
would be equivalent to the abandon
ment of any claims that he might have
against the Spanish government for
damages.
The committee therefore decided to
press the consideration of the resolu-
ton reported yesterday.
The senate met at IL O'Clock and the
ator Allen of Nebraska taking the
floor on his resolution of yesterday.
1t is believed at the state department
that the withdrawal of the appeal will
be followed promptly by the pardon of
Sangui1ly. 1t is said that arrange
ments to this end have been going for
ward for some time and that a with
sable prerequisite to the granting of

JUDGE LOCKE IS FIRM.
He Still Upholds. the Right of the
Dauptle to Clear.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 25.-Judge
Locke. in the United States court here
has overruled the demurrer of the gov
eminent in the case of A, Bisbee VS.
Captain Kilgore and the collector of
the port. asking for an injunction to re-
strain them from interfering with the
clearing of the Dauntless. The govern
ment is given ten days to amend.
Judge Locke took occasion to say
that the secretary of the treasury was
going too far in requiring a vessel
owner to swear that he would not carry
arms, men or munitions of war, as ac-
cording to law he can carry any one of
them, the combination making it I'M

WILL NOT USE GATES.
Directors of Kansas City Union Depot
Decide Against Them.

Kansas City, Feb. 25.-The directors
of the union depot at a meeting yester-
day decided not to erect fences around
the tracks at the depot and only allow
those to pass through the gates who
hold tickets.
The application of the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf road for permission to
place it's tickets on sale in the union de-
pot was received and discussed at
length. If the request is granted as
seems likely, the Pittsburg & Gulf will
agree to close its Union avenue ticket
office. if the other roads will do the
same
Two roads. the Missouri Pacific and
the Wabash, were not represented at
the meeting yesterday, and therefore no
final action was taken on the Pittsburg
q Cuffs application, but those who were
present expressed themselves as favor
ing the proposition.
Although the Maple Leaf. which
maintains an Office with the Pittsburg
& Gulf on Union avenue, has not yet
formally asked to be permitted 10 place
its tickets on sale, it will do so, and if
the tickets of the two are placed on sale
in the union depot, the abolition of the
Union avenue ticket offices will soon
follow.
