SEPTEMBER WHEAT AT $1O0
NEW YORK MARKET REACHES THE
 LONG-TALKED-OE GOAL.

Predictions That the Price Will Reach
 ss1.25 Per Bushel-Sensational Advances
 in Yesterdays Trading--Great Excite-
 Inent on 'Change-T Cheering
 Greeted the Rise in Price.
 New York, Aug. 20.--At 1:30 o'clock to-day September wheat in the local market reached the ong-talked-of goal of one dollar per bushel. Naturally enough, the incident created a tre- mendous sensation on the floor of the exchange and was greeted with pro- longed cheers from half thousand throats, being echoed from the crowded galleries. Several times during the early afternoon had the bulls snapped the price within five-eighths of a cent of the desired mark, but a return wave of selling orders swept it back again. The final and successful effort was made under the bulls buying everything in sight.
 Now that the bulls have attained their boast, they are as far as ever from being satisfied and claim that the wave of bull sentiment, which has spread like fire all over the country, will carry the price here at least to $1.25 per bush- el, and perhaps even higher. That dollar wheat is already thing ot the past was demonstrated on the late curb, where further clamorous demands from high-strung local shorts raised the price to $1.0OA. or a cent a bushel advance from the official close. About 50,000 bushels of wheat changed hands at S1.00 this afternoon From the very outset to-day local dealings were mark ed by great excitiment.
 Everybody felt that dollar wheat was in the air, and while there were occa- sional let-ups when traders unloaded jabs of wheat on which there was a good profit, they were invariably fol- lowed by a general tightening of values on fresh waves of reckless buying The crowd, being keyed up to high pitch of excitement, eagerly swallowed the widest sort of bull news such as would be ordinarily rejected. The English market was up in the air, keeping free pace WllH our duVdHCG. llelI ClOolHs prices were top for the day and 3M@4B higher than last night. French mar kets, on the other hand held back and showed practically no response to the extraordinary strength in other mar kets.
 Private cables credited the English advance to rainy weather and covering by shorts First prices in this market were made simultaneously at from STA to 98 for September and 96A to 973s for December. The latter displayed the greatest strength. Subsequently Sep- tember dropped to 97 under realizing sales, but at noon was chased up to 9S7s by a frantic rush of buying orders. Throughout the day fluctuations were very cratic, at times leaping 1A@1h between sales. The trade was consid- erably amused over the stories of enor- nous profits being made on the boom.

"LYNCH HIM.v "snoor HIM"
Kidnapper of Johnny Conway Threatened
 by a Mob in Albany.

Albany, N. T., Aug 20.-Blake, the al- legged kidnapper of little Johnny Con- way, was caught in Schenectady by John w. Farrell shortly after noon to- day and was brought to this city on the 2:10 train which was some minutes late. The station was filled with an an- gry crowd and the police had great difficulty in getting the culprit from Farrell and placing him in the patrol wagon. When they got him in the wa son fully 2,000 persons surrounded It and cries of Lynch him." shoot him." enraged the mob to the point of desper- ation, but the horses were whipped up and they plowed through the crowd which hung to both sides of the wagon pntil they fell off Mayor Thacher man. aged to get in the wagon and held Blake with one hand while he held a revolver in the other. At the police sta tion some blocks away an enormous crowd had gathered but the prisoner was landed in the private office Of the chief of police in safety.
 The capture of Blake by MT. John Farrell, counsel for The Argus. is eX- ceedingly tame as compared with the exciting recovery of the child by Mr. Farrell and his party yesterday morn ing, and best told in his own words. When seen by the Associated Press representative, he said:
 T left for Schenectady this morning on the S:15 train and was led to believe, as there was such vast crowd in the city of Schenectady attending the fire mems convention, that Blake and pals would make for either there or Troy. ! visited all the places of resort, went around the outskirts of the town and heard of a carriage being driven into the city from the Schenectady road ear- ly last evening in which there were three men. went around the outskirts and gradually worked towards the de- pot, and had just stopped within the enclosure when I saw Blake on the railroad track quite little distance to the northwest of the depot.
 T immediately walked up to him and asked him to come with me and brought him to the baggage room at the station. I then searched him to see if he had any weapons about him, knowing I had a desperate fellow to deal with; and asked him if he would come quietly with me to Albany or if it would be necessary to call the servic- es of the policemen who were stationed at the depot. He promised to go qui- etly with me to Albany. He caused me no trouble on the way to this city and on our arrival I turned him over to the police"

All of this character of exhibit were at the upper end of the green near the campus. Lines were drawn around the trees ard inside of this only firenlen from cut of town, the exhibitors ard local firemen who were needed to as sist in the displays were permitted dur ing .he exhibition.
 It was well that 1t was sO If it had not been, the crowd would have been thoroughly wet, for the size of nozzles and consequently the size and length of the stream were changed very ire Guently. All of the exhibitors vied of the largest crowd.
 The two city engines, Nos 10 and 2, were stationed on Chapel and College streets and furnished streams for the exhibitions with the patent hose pipes In both engines Weirwick camel coal. which is said to be especially good for firing engines, was used. The New Jer- sey Car Spring Rubber company at- tached their improved pipe to the hose, and showed how the flremen handling the stream of water can be protected from the flying sparks and cinders while fighting big fire

OUR TRADE WITH JAPAN.
Interesting Figures Prepared by tn
 Treasury Department.

Washington, Aug. 20.-A statement prepared by the treasury department shows that for the first time in the his- tory of trade relations with Japan the United States is entitled to be consid- cred as a serious competitor with Eu- rope. A recent British report from the legation at Tokio reviews the foreign trade of Japan during the past year.
 In the supply of machinery, rails. nails and pig iron the United States assumed a leading place. The British representatives pointed out that the American railway engine builders were likely to receive a great number of or ders during the present year. An un- usual demand for metals, textiles and raw materials is noted, going to show the growth of manufactures in Japan.
