vary much from these figures for soma
time.
The widest excitement was In coarse
grain. Corn was up nearly cents a bush-
el and oats up cents. 1t was in sympathy
with wheat but Linn was heavy seller
Of September wheat to-day His selling
stopped the advance after the opening. Al
good deal of yesterdays excitement was
caused by the fact that the bull crowd
had calls on 100000 bushels of Septem-
Der wheat. which. at the close of lase
night 1t called, increasing by that much
Its September line. The crowd had calls

some reports saying that spring whean

PENSIONS FOR DEsERTERs.
Honorable Service in the Union
Army wipes Out DishonOr Else

Honorable Service in the Union
Army wipes Out DishonOr Else
where.
Washington, Aug. 21.-It is not improb-
able that official announcement will be
made in few weeks of a radical change
in the present attitude of the pension bu-
reau toward pension claimants who had
a confederate war service.
Under the present construction of the
laws, any service in the confederate cause,
irrespective of later service for the gov
ernment, is a bar TO pension. Commits
sioner of Pension Evans believes that If a
claimant seSed in any capacity in the
confederate service, but later deserted or
left its ranks, enlisted in the union army,
served therein and was honorably dis
charged il would be an injustice to refuse
him pension. He believes that having
performed honorable services in the union
army, the past hostile services should be
overlooked.
Assistant Secretary Webster Davis,
whose decisions have been in the line of
liberal construction as to the pension
laws, is understood to have similar views.
The question has been referred to the
President and Secreatry Bliss for their ap-
proYal.

THEY TACKLE THE EDITOR.
state Constable Bahar and His
Friends Make Fools of Themselves.


Charleston, S. c.. Aug. 21.-some days
ago the Charleston Critic, an afternoon
paper, edited by j. II. Moore. published
an editorial strongly rejecting upon the
character and birth Of w. ". Bahar, who
is chief Of the state constabulary. II was
implied that Bahar wanted to be chief OF
police here. and that he was disqualified
because he was not a gentleman and that
there is a tint of negro blood in his veins.
This morning w. n. Bahar accompanied
by his brother and a man named Wingate,
went TO the editorial rooms of the Critic
to demand a retraction. When they enter
ed the office Moore reached for his gun.
The men disclaimed having hostile inten-
tions and asked him to put il up. He de-
cined to do so and one of them knocked
it out of his hand A scufiie ensued and
some Of the printers in the office ran to
the assistance of the editor.
Moore finally ran both Of his assaIlants
out of the office. They stood IN the street
with pistols and called upon him to come
down, but he took no notice OF them.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 21.-The steamer
George e. Starr arrived at her dock this
morning shortly after II o'clock from Dyea
and Skagaway and was met by a great
crowd of people, it having been reported
that several more from Klondike, having
made their way to Dyea overland, were on
board.
This report proved true and the interest
eentered in the appearance of one passen-
ger, Ed Thorpe, who was expected to come
down on the Portland, and who is report
ed to have somewhere in the neighborhood
of $3.50, 900 in Klondike gold in his possess
sion.
Thorpe's companions talked but It is
impossible TO get anything definite from
them. Willis Thorpe, the father of Ed
Thorpe, received a letter a few days ago
on the Alki from his son, saving that he
had $4,000 in gold. at least that is what
Willis Thorpe is ALLEGED TO have told his
friends. but now Thorpe and his three
companions on the steamer unite in only
one point i'm telling their story, and that
is that they have $4,000 between them.
II is the intention of all the party to re-
turn to their mines at once on the next
trip Of the steamer, if they can get ready.
They all came out after supplies Mr.
Stewart said supplies run short in The
spring and that flour went up 20 $40 per
sack, at present it is Sl2 per hundred
weight.
Old miners on the Yukon say that the
transportation companies promise every
year TO have plenty Of provisions for the
next winter but that the supply Invariably
runs short.
