How the Discriminating Tux Clause

States Senator Chandler holds that the

persons engaged in the scheme. The sena-
tor points out that the conference commit

this important amendment into a clause Of

the Senate and House had disagreed. The

BULL POOL TO BE BROKEN.
Union of Heavy Traders in Wheat on
the Chicago Board.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27-Bulls in wheat were
treated to disagreable surprise this morn
ing by the opening Liverpool cables. They
showed a decline in that market of 212Q
2%d. AS the Chicago market had advanced
more than &c yesterday the decline abroad
was entirely unexpected and its effect on
opening prices here was marked. There
was practically no demand for December
wheat at the opening and initial prices
ranged from 9Oc to 90Ac, compared with
yesterdays close of $3.50, and declined at
once to S9$4c. At around 90c the trade sud
denly became enormous. Sales or stop or
ders were very heavy, but offerings were
absorbed as quickly as they were made and
prices soon climbed. AS the trade mar
rowed the market became very nervous
and fluctuations were violent. December
advanced to 90c, went back to 901c, up to
911bc then to Gle. September was fully as
erratic and with even smaller trading. The
traders appeared demOraiized and the pit
at times was not more than half full.
September which closed yesterday at 9S7sc,
opened to-day al the way from 92S to 9S7ac.
1t jumped to 9412c, dropped to 9312c, then
rallied and jumped to 96c, then dropped to
951sc. Later in the day the market again
became very weak, December touching
SS5sc, compared with 937sc at the close last
night Just before the close it was stated
that although a representative of Armour
81 Co. had been in the Northwest looking
for wheat to bring here to mix with GER
tain other grain here, he found that the
Minneapolis wheat was out of line 4d5c 1er
bushel and bought nothing. September
wheat closed at CSC, nearly 6 cents under
last nights close. December quit at soc
for old and SS1Rc for new.
If statements which were made on the
floor during the session are true, to-day's
slump was not so much due to the weak
cables and foreign selling as to manipula-
tion. These statements were to the effect
that John Cudahy and Charles Counselman
two of the heaviest traders on the floor
have formed a union to break the so-called
bull pool, and the erratic action of the
market is but the result of the struggle be
tween the two big combinations 1t was the

CAUGHT IN KLONDIKE.
Murderer Caught After One
of the Longest Chases ON Record.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. 27-
The steamer Portland, from ST. Michaels,
has on board a murderer, who was cap
tured by detectives halfway around the
world. He is in irons and under constant
watch of two Pinkerton detectives. The
prisoner William Smith, was pursued over
the continent to Juneau, to Dyea and
across the Chilcat pass over the lakes and
down the rivers to the gold fields of the
Klondike, where he was taken into custody
Smith was a storekeeper in a small town
near Cedar Rapids, Ia, up to several
months ago.. One night the store was
charred body of a man. Smiths relatives
claimed that he was burned to death in the
fire. HIS life was insured for $35 900, and a
demand was made for the money. An in
vestiga don led to the belief that the body
was net that of Smith but that Of watch
man. The theory was at once advanced
that Smith had committed murder and
burned his store in the hope that the body
would be roasted beyond recognition and
his relatives obtain the insurance money
after he had disappeared. Pnkerton was
put on the trail and after the longest chase
on record captured Smith at Dawson July
20. He was taken to ST. MichaeIS to await
the sailing of the Portland.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Aug. 27.-Smith

PRICES ADVANCING.
Leading Staples Higher, with Iron
and Steel at the Front.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The general trade stua-
ton continues to improve, and, aside from
the unnecessarily prolonged strike of the
soft coal miners, there is little in sight to
cloud the outlook. The feature of the week
is the advance IN prices of almost all lead
ing staples, beginning with an upward
movement all along the line ir iron and
steel Steel billets are now $3.50 above low
est figures; bars, $780, rods, $3 and plates
81. Bessemer pig iron is up 25c and foundry
a like amount. Southern irons are very
strong on a continued active export move
ment. Where wire mills have not advanced
prices they have withdrawn quotations.
Some Western steel mills are sold up to
Jan. l, which, with the demand for earlier
deliveries from furnaces than had been ar
ranged for, are quite significant Lead,
tco, and soft coal are higher, as is wheat.
Notwithstanding one two reactions.
BradSpeets points out that the statistical
position of wheat is the strongest known
since the United States became cOnsid-
erabe exporter, and that it's price, as we'll
as that for bread, is likely to materially
exceed the present weeks advances Prices
are also higher for wheat flour. corn, oats,
lard, potatoes, butter. eggs, beans cheese,
leaf tobacco, wool and live stock, Ad
VanceS for leather, hides, lumber and lin
seed oil are also reported
Cotton, which is up 3-16c reports the
smallest worlds stock for seven years past
at this period, an improved tone and higher
prices for the manufactured product. In
spite of crop damage, the tendency of esti-
mates is toward the largest total yield on
record but with probabilities favoring
much better prices than those obtained for
the crop of 1S94-5, the out turn of which
was 9,S73, 600 bales Advances are being also
asked for recorders of woolen goods at mills,
but print cloths, petroleum and sugar are
unchanged for the week, while pork is re-
ported slightly lower than a week ago. No
such general or pronounced upward move
ment of prices of nearly all leading staples
has been witnessed within week for many
years.

gregating Cwheat and flour as wheat)

WHEAT DROPPED s CENTS.
Bulls at New York Now Interested
in the Corn Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Wheat lost sc
bushel to-day, and the lowest point was
about 10c under the top notch for the sea-
son. There were not enough influential
bulls left in the market TO make a respect
able fight against the declining tendency.
They have nearly all become interested in
corn, which everybody in the trade has
been educated to believe is on the eve of
bull movement. Consequently when Liver
pool opened away off this morning and fol-
lowed it up with further declines on later
cables the local market simply went TO
pieces. 1t looked for time as if the bot
tom had dropped out so rapidly did prices
slide down hill in response to the rain of
selling orders with which brokers bonn
barded the market There was practically
no support other than that afforded by a
little buying against puts. The December
option settled TO 95c on first sales which
was sheer break of 4c a bushel from last
night. Then il skirmished around for
time buffeted up and down by conflicting
orders, but soon settled into steady de
cline, which finally landed it half an hour
before the close at 937sc From here il
rallied to 947sc, whore it left off Selling
was general during the day. Local houses
and foreign interests threw over liberal
quantities In ALI II 5O0000 bushels were
traded in. At the close No. l Northern

their plans into operation. One week later
they called a conference of the miners rep

would have first met the miners, who are
always ready TO meet with them. De-
