CHANGES IN GRAIN RULES
Determined Effort to Exclude No.
2 Spring Wheat from the
Chicago Board.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 1O.-Interest in the
wheat market on change today was Sec
ondary to the contest on the proposed
change in rules TO exclude No. spring
wheat from the contract grade. The
adoption of the new rule will markedly
restrict the speculative element and the
supporters of the amended rule insist that
it will elevate the standard of speculative
trade in this market. The 'chronic
bears and elevator representatives depre-
Gated the bad effect the change would
have in restricting the speculative mar
ket
At present there are only three contra ct
grades for future delivery. These are:
No. l Northern spring wheat, No. 2 re
winter and No. 2 spring wheat, upo
which the fight was waged today Ac-
cording to some calculations by com
mitteemen, the reduction of No. 2 spring
wheat to low grade will exclude from TO-
100000 to 100000 bushels of wheat
annually from the speculative field, this
narrowing the market to No. 1 Northern
spring and No. 2 red winter wheat. The
sentiment Oh change is apparently about
evenly divided, although the opponents
OF the change claim a victory.
The local grain market is the only
one in the world which still clings to the
No. 2 spring grade. The New York
market has excluded this grade and the
champions of the change here claimed
that its passage would place the Chicago
market on an equal footing with that of

GREECE WILL NOT BEG.
Would Accept the Mediation of the
Powers, but will Not Ask


New York, May 1O.-A dispatch to the
Journal from Athens says: prime Min
lister Ralli says that the Greek troops will
be withdrawn from Crete. The govern
ment having need of sill troops possible, ,
he said, has decided on gradually with
drawing orr army from Crete. This
would also facilitate arrangements with
the great powers which have been unof-
ficially animated. Greece has officially
notified the foreign ministers of her III
tention to withdraw from Crete and has
demanded admission of Greek ships with
in the blockade for this purpose.
''Greece nov awaits. the official offei
of the great powers to make proposals c.
peace between her and Turkey if ithey
please, but will not ask for it. An official
note from the powers will probably be
presented at once and all depends on its
terms. The report in the papers of an
armistice is not true, but an armistiCe
will probably be agreed upon if negotia-
tions are opened
Constantinople, May 1O.-The Turkish
commander at Janina telegraphs that the
Greek forces at Kamarina have been
routed by three battalions of Turkish
troops who occupied Kamarina. Later
the Greeks gathered in a church on the
heights above the village, when they fired
on the Turks who eventually took the
Greeks and capturing some prisoners. The
| remainder of the Greeks retired to the
bridge of Agros Georges, where they
made a determined stand but We're finally
routed by the Turks.
Complete Occupation of Volo.
Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander
in Thessaly, has telegraphed from Veles-
tino to the ministry of war giving de-
| tails of the occupation Of Volo by the
| Turkish troops, the institution of OF
| toman administration there, the with
drawal of the Greek fleet from that port
and the seizure of large quantities of
munitions of war. He has requested
the Turkish custom officers be sent to
| VOlo to insure a continuance of business
at that port.
Vienna, May lot is reported here
that Turkeys terms of peace with Greece
include the payment of an indemnity OF
f3, 100000 ($15000,O0O), a rearrange-
ment of the Greek frontier, the annulling
of the treaties favoring the Greeks, the
cession of the Greek fleet to Turkey and
the settlement of the Cretan question.
VIII be Settled Soon.
Paris, May 1O.-A semi-official com
| munique was published this afternoon
| saying the impression prevails that the
negotiations between Greece and Turkey
will not be attended by great difficulties
and will soon have a satisfactory issue
| The powers, it is further stated, have
already agreed among themselves upon
the conditions of peace. Germany's hest
tation was due to the fact that the Greek
/ government in a circular TO representa-
| tives at courts of the powers did not for
mally adhere to Cretan autonomy as de-
| manded by the powers. Greece subse-
| quently gave the necessary assurances in
this respect and the German minister at
| Athens has been instructed to actively
support the efforts of the powers to con-
! clude peace.

HAS BOUGHT IT'S ORE.
illinois Steel Company Makes Pur-
CfaaSes-The Norfie Left in
the Cold

Duluth, Mimi, May 10.-[Special. /
The Illinois Steel company has closed all
contracts for this seasons supply of iron
ore, according to authentic reports re-
ceiIed here, in spite of the statement
from Cleveland that the company had not
done so. The purchases amount to
100000 tons in addition to 100000 tons
mot delivered on last years contracts,
making /, 100000 tons in all. The sales
are q puzzle to ore men here. All of the
ore will come from Marquette, Menomi-
nee and Mesaba ranges. There will be
no Vermillion or GOgebic ore. The Min
nesota Iron company will ship 100000
TONS but it will be Mesaba ore. The
Norrie mine, it is said, relied on the Hi
nois Steel company to be one of its best
customers, but not pound of Norrie ore
now put all its men on half time and is
curtailing it's output. This is regarded
here as confirming the report of the Illi-
nois Steel companyS purchases.
The Pioneer mine at Ely, although it
has closed operations probably for the
season, will nevertheless ship 100000
tons Of ore this year The Pioneer is a
has been allotted 100000 tons. Last year
the mine did not ship its full allotment,
and consequently it can, under the agree
ment, ship not only all that was allotted
to it for this season, but what it failed to
ship of last years allotment.
There are but wo mines on the Mesaba
range shipping ore to the docks in Du-
luth, the Mountain Iron and Oliver. All
of the Consolidated mines have closed
down, the Adams being the last to quit.
Mining will not be resumed in any of
them until the furnaces have used up
much of the heavy stock in hand at the
opening of navigation this year.

ESTIMATED REVENUE.
Senate Bill Would Raise About $780,
100000 as Against $780,
900, 900 in the Other.

Washington, D. c., May S.-The Re
publican members of the Senate commit
tee ON finance today furnished the Dem
ocratic members of the committee with
estimates of the revenue to be derived
from the tariff bill as prepared by them
and as compared with the House bill and
the Mckinley and Wilson laws, to-
gether with statements showing q
duced to ad valOrem figures. The
estimates of revenue and importations
are given on each item separately, but
no computation as to the general volume
is made either for the entire bill or for
the individual schedules. A rough cab
culation of the estimates given on the
importations of sugar indicates a prob
able total of about $9O,OOO,OOO of duty,
as compared with a probable total of
about $5O,OOO,OOO as provided by the
House BILL
There is nc estimate of the amount Of
duty to be derived from either tea or
hides or wool as a whole, all of which
gre taken from the list. In the metal
schedule there is a reduction on beams,
girders, etc., the Senate rate being 37.S6
per cent. against 45.44 in the House and
Mckinley bills and SO per cent in the
Wilson law. The Senate rate of pen
knives valued at more than so cents per
dozen and not more than 81 per dozen is
Ill per cent. as compared to 04.60 per
cent. under the Wilson law and 9617
per cent. under the Mckinley law. Ac-
cOrding to this statement the uniform
rate of the Senate bill ON raw sugars is
IS per cent. ad valorem, while that of
the House bill is II per cent Under the
Wilson law the rate ranges from 40 to
a per cent; under the Mckinley law

PROF. BARNARD'S AIRSHIP.
Tennessee Man Proves that Aerial voy-
ages Arc Possibility.

Nashville, Tenn, May 8.-The actual
flight of the real airship, invented. con-
structed and propelled by Prof. Arthur
Wallace Barnard, is the topic of the day.
The successful voyage IN midair taken
by the daring young aerOnaut has devel-
open into a bigger sensation than even
the directors OF the centennial exposition
had expected, and they, while hoping that
the airship would fly, are as much sur
prised and delighted over the result as
the man who went into the air with his
machine.
Prof Barnard, who is the physical di-
rector of the Y. M. c. A. of this city,
took his fight from the grounds of the
exposition. He alighted in a grove
twelve miles away, breaking a spar of
his ship in the process, but while in the
air circled round and round, and declares
that he demonstrated beyond a doubt
that his machine is success-that under
normal conditions it's progress can be
regulated and controlled by it's operator.
The ship has an air chamber shaped
like a cigar and forty-siX feet long by
eighteen feet in diameter 1t is made of
silk and cotton and filed with hydrogen
gas. This chamber is confined in a net
work of small rope which holds the me
tallic frame work and aeroplanes UNDER
meath.
The seat is made on the order of a
bicycle frame, and from this the operator
| controls the wings, or aerOplaneS, on
either side. The two propellers, or
screws, extend in front of the operator,
acting on the principle of an auger. In
| guiding the airship the operator moves
the screw from right to left in the di-
rection he wishes to go and ascends or
| descends by raising or lowering the side
wings.
Prof. Barnard does not claim all the
credit for his invention, as he is using,
| by permission, several features employed
| by other experimenters in aeronautics.
The aeroplanes are frames of light
wood and covered with a cotton fabric.
! The other frame work is of metal and
| the parts were made in Nashville, New
| York and Connecticut and shipped to this
| city, where they were put together by
Prof. Barnard. The greater part of the
aidship he made himself, without any as
| SiStance. and during his snare hours

SALISBURY INTERROGATED
Says There Are Many Things Yet to be
Agreed Upon.

Agreed Upon
London, May 1O.-The Earl of Kim
berry, the Liberal leader in the House of
Lords asked today whether Greece had
announced her willingness to withdraw
her troops from Crete and whether she
had requested the powers to mediate with
Turkey.
The Marquis of Salisbury replied that
if he answered in the negative it would
be strictly correct yet such reply might
be misleading. Therefore he would say
a word on the subject. The Greek gov
eminent had not asked for mediation, but
members of that government had ex-
pressed desire for mediation. The
Greek government as a whole, the pre-
mier added, did not intend, to the best of
his belief, to ask for mediation.
Regarding Crete, the premier said there
is some indefniteness at the present
stage of affairs The Greek government
does not conserve that it will be con-
sistent with its position to promise ar i'm
mediate and definite withdrawal of the
Greek troops from Crete, but, he CLord
Salisbury understood, though the gov
eminent had no official information on
the subject; that the Greek government
was preparing to say that it will with
draw its troops from Crete in the not
very distant future.
Continuing, the Marquis Of Salisbury
said: II am sorry to say that as we
stand at present l do not think this as
surance is entirely satisfactory to all the
powers. However, l have only to an
swer for ourselves and our instructions
have been to join in any procedure for
the purpose of entering upon mediation
which is acceptable to the others. In
our view the main point is to arrest as
far as possible the effusion of blood and
we are not very particular about the
forms. | regret exceedingly that the
Greek government is more particular
about the forms than the circumstances
