WHEAT BOOMING.
Some Lively Speculation in the San
Francisco Market.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2.-There
was some lively speculation in the local
wheat market to-day, and that staple
scored another big advance. The OPP
ton market opened at 81 46 for De-
cember and 81 Az for May, but
jumped Immediately to 81 463s and
81 4S. AT Ills December opened at
81 1914 and sold up to 81 1875 but re-
coded to 81 47as, and closed at 81 47;4
bid. May opened at 81 1872, reached
the q mark, and declined to 81 4SA.
Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned on Change by the rumor that
inquiry was being made for a ship to
carry wheat to Buenos Ayres, the cap
ital of the Argentine Republic, which
was generally accepted as confirmation
of the report that the Argentine crop
was poor.

CHILDREN BADLY HURT.
Attempt to Blow UP Mine Super
intendent's Home.

BUTTE (Mon.), Aug. 2.-What was
evidently a fiendish attempt to blow
up the house of John O'Meara, Su-
perintcndent of the Moonlight mine,
came near resulting in the death of
three children to-day.
What appeared to be a Roman candle
was found near O'Meara's residence by
Mamie Benson and two other little
girls. While playing with it one of
the children struck it with a piece of
iron. 1t exploded with a report indi-
eating that it was filed with dynamite.
The O'Meara child was literally pep
pered with fragments of brass, lead
and glass, part of the contents of the
bomb. The other two children were
terribly cut.
A hole torn in the ground showed
that the bomb was charged with dyna-
mite. Several attempts have been made
ON O'Meara's life heretofore.

COMMERCIAL.
FLOUR FIRM, WITH A STRONG
UPWARD TENDENCY.
Wheat Takes a Long Jump for
Both Spot and Speculative
Barley Higher.
San francisco. Aug.

San Francisco, Aug. I'd.
Flour is very firm, with strong up
ward tendency Wheat took a long jump
to-day for both spot and speculative pur-
poses: good demand for shipping wheat,
but offerings are scarce, as farmers look
for still better prices; futures are quite
active. Barley options also jumped sky
ward and spot advanced accordingly;
choice feed and brewing are scarce. oats
are firm at the old prices. Corn is also
firm and advanced; large yellow to arrive
sells at 81 OH; small yellow is quoted at
81 25@1 So, but it is practically all in one
firms hands.
Strawberries are in small receipt and
are higher; other berries arrived sparing-
ly The apricots coming in bulk are
poor and medium stock, and sell at the
inside quotation; good stock will bring
top price and even more. CurrantS are
again coming forward and bring S2Q3

FRANK McDONNELL's DEATH.
An Autopsy Discloses That 1t Was
Due to an Electric Shock

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The autopsy
on the body of Frank Mcdonnell,
known as Professor Arion who was
killed last night at Ridgeway Park,
Brooklyn, was held to-day at Newton,
L. l., and disclosed the fact that death
was due to electric shock and not to
the fall Mcdonnell had.
The rubber conducting suit
which he wore was haky
The shock from the charged wires,
located five feet above the ground,
must have penetrated the suit and
killed the rider before he fell to the
ground.
McDonnells body and wheel were
covered with electric lights supplied by

from Oran, capital of the Algerian

over an area of twenty square miles.
Fifteen hundred men belonging to the
Foreign Legion have been fighting the
flames night and day since the out
break, but all the efforts of the soldiers
to prevent a spread of the conf1agra-
tons have hitherto proved unavailing.

present indications the Powers will be
compelled to send another ultimatum
to Turkey.
The action of Tewfik Pasha in SUBJ
hitting a series Of amendments to the
draft of the treaty of peace completed
