WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Board OF Trade Brokers, 7il-7l4 Chamber OF Com.
merce Building, Portland, Oregon
No decided changes have occurred in
wheat values during the week. The
market has been principally noted for
the absence of general speculation and
the presence of several arguments that
apparently warrant an advance. Crop
advices in America, while showing an
improvement in condition of the grow
ing crop, most certainly indicate de-
creased area seeded. The news from
the Argentine crop has been sensation
al. General frosts have occurred. but
the extent of the damage, if any, is
only matter of conjecture. The exact
facts cannot be ascertained for some
time yet. Reports from Russia assert
the rye crop to be very short and the
Oat crop poor. The export demand con-
tinues undated, and in excess of our
weekly surplus. 1t is a matter Of re-
cent history that export countries are
liable to sell more than their available
surplus of breadstuffs and be forced to
become importers. This is evidenced
in the case of Australia and the Argen
tine during the past year, and should
our export clearances continue at the
present rate it is entirely possible that
American supplies may be likewise ex.
hausted. Receipts at primary points
are large, compared with last year, and
visible stocks continue to increase
When the high values are taken into
consideration together with the large
crop produced last year, it is matter
of surprise that the primary receipts
are not much larger. Advices from
the northwest indicate that the move
ment from first hands is decreasing.
Export clearances of wheat and -four
for the week were 1858, 791 bushels.
Large sales for export have been made
during the week, partly the result Of
apprehended damage to the Argentine
crop.
The local speculative condition of the
wheat market is very unsatisfactory.
There is an absence Of general specula-
tive interest due partly to high values,
but more particularly to the small
stocks and the presence of more or less
manipulation in the market. A large
short interest exists entirely out of pro.
portion to existing stocks. There is
nothing in the general situation to war;
rant any decline. The result of the
Argentine crop seems to be the determ-
lining factor regarding future values.
Until the result is definitely known it
seems that present values will be fully
maintained and probably advanced.
There has been decided improve
ment in the cash demand for corn,
both for Eastern account and for eX-
port. The government report, estimate.
ing the crop yield at 1892, 900, 900
bushels, is not credited by the trade
and entirely unwarranted according to
private advices.

A GOOD INDIAN.
Grave of Chief Who Signed tn
Treaty of William Penn.

Treaty of William Penn.
A short time ago near Sunbury, Pa,
the remains of one of the Indian chiefs,
who participated in the signing OF the
treaty, through which William Penn
came into possession Of Pennsylvania,
were unearthed. The remains are those
of Chief Shkellimy, grand sachem CT
the Lenni-Lenapes and the deputy gov
ernor appointed by the Iroquois upon
their conquest of the Susquehanna IN
dams. He lived in the Indian village
of Shomoko on the present site of SIM
bury and Northumberland, and went
thence to sign the treaty under the elm
tree.
Chief Shikellimy was good Indian,
true representative of everything that
was grand in the Indian character; who
never proved untrue to his word, be-
trayed a white man nor cOndoned
crime. On account of his ability to
govern and his nobleness of character,
he was selected by the chief of the SIX
Nations to rule the Indians along the
Ot-zin- son, as the beautiful Sus-
ouehanna River was called. When the
Iroouois. the so-called Six Nations,
made war upon the original owners OF
the Susquehanna Valley, the Lennl-
Lenapes. they succeeded In subduins
them after a bitter struggle and sent
denutv governor Cher Shikellimy, to
rule over them.
Under his leadership the Lenni'
Lenapes never tried to throw or the
burden of their conquerors.
Up to this time very little Is known ~
the chief He was an Oneida Indian
and was born in Canada or in the
northern part Of New York State near
the border. After he settled In Sho-
mollo the Moravian missionaries FOUND
him there and converted him. They
also established a mission under his
protection. At the signing of the Penn
treaty Chief Shkellimy represented the
Oneida Indians and the Lenn-LenapeS.
In 174S Shikellimy died and was
hu,ied by the missionaries who had
converted him. In his grave were
nloced many trinkets which had been
his share of the purchase OF the price
of Pennsylvania and many OF these
,vore found intact when his remains
were recently discovered.

BAILEY WILL NOT OPPOSE.
Tariff Bill Will Go to Conference
without DELAY.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-When the tariff
bill reaches the house after it has passed the
senate it is not probable that there will be
any attempt to oppose the motion which will
be made either directly by Chairman Ding
ley or by the operation Of a special order
to disagree to the senate amendments and
send the bill to conference. The Republican
leaders do net think there will be any
necessity for debate until the bill is re-
ported back by the conferees, and the Dem
ocrats are inclined to the same opinion. Mr..
Bailey, the leader of the minority, said to-
day that he would not oppose a motion to
get the bill into conference, provided the
Republicans would agree to a reasonable
time for debate when the bill was reported
back to the house. He thought three or four
days for discussion at that time would be
sufficient. The number of conferees to be
appointed on behalf of the house has not
yet been decided, nor the political division,
but the conferees, as is usual, VIII be the
ranking members of the committee from
each side. 1t is probable that there VIII be
seven conferees. The political division may
be five and two, or four and three. The
Republican members of the committee in
their ranking order are Dingley, chairman;
Payne, Dalzell, Hopkins, GrCsvenor, Russell
Doll:ver, Steele, Johnson, Evans and Taw-
ney, and the Democrats, Bailey, McMiIlin
Wheeler, McLaurin, Robertson and Swanson
The estimate of the time the bill will be in
conference ranges from two to ten days
but the best opinion is that the conferees
will report the bill back a week from next
Monday, if it comes over from the senate on
the latter day.

ALDERSHOT CAMP, Eng, July l.
The great jubilee review of troops took
place today, queens weather prevail
ing. The town of Aldershot was gaily
decorated with flags and festoons Of
flowers. Crowds of people f1ocked to-
wards the camp from very early morn
ing. Queen Victoria arrived at Farm
borough shortly before o'clock, and
was received by the commander-in-
chief, Lord Wolseley; the adjutant
general, Sir Redvers Butler; the quar-
termaster general, Sir Evelyn Wood,
and a brilliant staff. From the rail-
road station to the saluting point on
Laffan plain, three miles distant the
route was gay with decorations, in
Guiding arches with notices of well
come at different points. The Duke Of
Connaught, commanding the military
district, was in supreme command Of
the troops, who numbered $4,000 men,
including all the colonial forces, a
division of cavalry. artillery and engi-
neers, and four divisions of infantry.
In the march past the colonial troops
had the lead and We're headed by Lord
Roberts of Kandahar, at the head Of
the Canadian mounted police. The
Prince of Wales led the Tenth Hussars
past the saluting point.
Accompanying Queen Victoria were
the Princess of Wales, Princess Vic
toria of Wales, the Duke and Duchess
of York. Prince and Princess Charles
of Denmark, and all the colonial pre-
miers and a brilliant throng of titled
spectators.
The march past was by squadrons,
batteries and double companies. The
firing of royal salute closed the cere-
mony. The colonial troops lined the
route followed by the queen after leav-
ing the saluting point.
The heat was intense and the crowd
present was enormous. The queen was
greeted with the greatest enthusiasm.
On arriving at the saluting point her
majestys carriage drew up in front Of
those occupied by the Prince of Wales
ard the Duchess of Connaught The
royal party was surrounded by a gilt
tering crowd of attaches and the mem
bers of the different royal families now
in England. Prominent among the
foreign officers present were Nelson A.
Cclwell u. S. N. The queen seemed
much interested in the march and
smiled when the Prince of Wales and
the Duke of York and the Duke of
Cambridge led their regiments past
her. The United States ambassador,
Col. John Hay, and Mrs. Hay, the
United States special envoy Whitelaw
Reid. and J. c. Carter second Secre-
tary of the United States embassy, ana
Mrs. Carter, sat on the stand near the
queen.

DESERTED BY HER son.
John II. Jeffrey Will Not Return to
His Mother.

John r. Jeffrey, who left his feeble, old
mother, Belle Jeffrey, in destitute circum-
stances, burden ON the local author. ties
several days ago, has evidently determined
to desert her. Soon after the poor depart
ment took charge of the forlorn woman,
Supt. King communicated with the author
tiles at Parent, Mimi. where the mother and
son were known to have resided, asking for
information regarding the man and his abl-
ity to provide for his mother. He also ad-
dressed a letter TO Jeffrey, suspecting that
he had gone back to Parent.
Supt King yesterday received letter from
the postmaster at Parent, informing him
that Jeffrey had returned to that place after
leaving his mother in Minneapolis and that
the letter to him sent by. the local officials
had been delivered. The letter importuned
jeffrey to come to his mothers assistance
ton. Almost Immediately after receiving the
letter the son, doubtless fearing possible pros
ecution, started away again after disposing of
his belongings. He is supposed to have gone
to Montana.
The postmaster states further that. after
settling in Parent last fall, Jeffrey endeavored
to abandon his mother by leaving her at
Minot, N. D., the authorities of that city
having returned her to the Minnesota town
where Jeffrey forced to look after her.
The mother, who is over eighty years of
age, presents sad spectacle at the county
poorhouse, where she is now provided for
Sne is physical wreck, and has also ex-
hlpited symptoms of insanity. Supt. King
mas decided to have the question as to her
sanity inquired into in the municipal court
and she will probably be remanded to one of
the state asyiums for the insane. Applica-
lon Ior her commitment will be made by the
board OF charities and correction. She labors
under the delusion that her son is going to
kill her, and is continually bewailing the
fate which she believes awaits her.

JAPAN BLUFFING.
Threats Are Made to Intimidate the
Hawaiians.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 1.-The
steamship Empress of China has ar
rived from the Orient. The Empress
brings the following adViceS:
The Jill remarks, in reference with
the difficulty with Hawaii, that the
government at Honolulu is somewhat
saucy and not the least intimidated by
the presence of the warship Maniwa
in their waters. They believe that
Japan will not dare adopt so extreme
a measure as to go to war with SO
small a country, being ashamed to do
so. 1t is this that causes Hawaii to
show such bold front. 1t is a pity
that this should be so, for if Hawaii
goes too far, we shall certainly be
compelled to chastise her."
Japanese laborers who were refused
admittance into Hawaii, and who Were
to be sent to Brazil, have declined to
go there.
Over twenty arrests have just been
made in Seoul, Korea, in consequence
