NEW FEATURE IN WHEAT DEAL
REPORT THAT ARMOUR AND
LETTER HAVE COMBINED.
Will Letter Make a Profit on the Mil
lions of Bushels He Has on Hand?
"A Trite Question.

Chicago. Dec. PA mere incident,
assure you. We are now practically out
of the whole matter. We have little
wheat yet to deliver; the necessary bush
els are ready for delivery when the proper
time approaches for the filling of these
comparatively small outstanding con-
tracts, and there's an end of the affair
so far as We are concerned.
Thus, with characteristic terseness, does
P. D. Armour find his position in these,
the closing days of one of the biggest
wheat deals that has marked the history
of the board of trade. Joseph Letter, his
youthful opponent, is just as calm and
confident in his expressions as the big
provision man.
MIR. Armour sold wheat" he declares,
land L bought of him. That is all. There
was no battle. 1t was a common almost
elementary business transaction. l shall
sell the wheat which [ have purchased
when the need of the foreign market de-
mands it. l shall sell at a profit, and
that's the closing chapter of my part
OF the story.
These statements, coming from the
principals in the December wheat deal,
have caused much comment in board OF
trade circles. Will Joseph Letter make a
profit in the round 1900, 900 bushels of real
wheat which has been placed in his hands
by the provision man, is now the question.
The report is going the rounds that the
whole affair was productive of results in
dlcat1ng big Armour-Le1ter combine. In
many minds this rumor was given cred
ence. The manipulation of the local mar
ket by Letter agents pulling the wires
from the Liverpool end was recited over
and over This idea, however, is ridiculed
b. the majority of traders.
Some members of the board say that
Letter has secured 100000 bushels of the
cereal. Others place the figures as high
are willing to admit that half the latter
amount is nearer the correct estimate.
M. Letter asserts that just as much of
this will go abroad as the foreign mar
Some folks on the board think / can t
transport grain eastward by rail without
a loss, do they?" said Mr.. Letter. We'll,
possibly they can't, but I'm willing to
play out my end of the game along my
own lines. and l may differ with thece
prophets considerably

San Francisco. Dec. 21.-Albert Hoff. ac-
cused of the brutal murder of Mrs Mary
Clute, continues to assert that he will be
able to prove an alibi.
He says that he IS a friend of John R.
Mclean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer. and
that Mclean can youch for his eastern
record. He also gives references to E.
3. Abbie, p. L. Gilmore and Arthur Penn
berton, bankers of Cincinnati and to Carl
Schurz. In answering to a question about
his knowledge of Schurz. he said:
I am the oldest friend that man has
in America. We were in the German re-
bellion together, serving in the same COM
pany and were both banished on account
of our political afnlia tons We came
to this country on the same vessel"

NO RECIPROCITY.
Action In French Chamber Put a
Quiet11s on Proposition.

Washington, Dec. d-The action of
the French chamber of deputies yes
terday in passing a government bill
increasing the duties on hogs, hog pro-
ducts, lard, etc, is regarded as re-
taliatory in effect against the United
States. For some time negotiations
have been proceeding between France
and this country toward making a
reciprocity arrangement. They came
to a stop recently when the authorities
here asked as a condition of such an
agreement that France would raise its
restrictions against American cattle
and meat products.
The French ambassador, M. Paten-
otre, communicated with his govern
ment, but no reply was given. He was
soon after directed to return to Paris,
where he is now in conference with
the French authorities. No word has
been received as to the purpose of

ARMOUR PLATE.
Chicago to Make a Strong Bid For
Government Plant.


Chicago, Dec. 21.-"If the government
decides upon constructing an armor
plate plant, Chicago Will make bid
for its location on the shores Of Lake
Michigan" said Congressman Lorimer
last night There is a vast deal of
rivalry in the matter" continued Mr..
Lorimer. ITO my certain knowledge,
Pittsburg, Newport News, Philadelphia,
Milwaukee and Waukegan are making
preparations for bidding. None of
them, however, can offer the advan-
tages that Chicago will be able to place
before the government when the time
comes
Mr.. Lorimer added that the manu-
facture of armor plate would not be
the only industry connected with the
plant. 1t will be the beginning of a
great industry. In connection with it
will be an arsenal and the manufacture
of large and small arms.

today and prices sagged from inaction.
The most notable movement in the rail-
road list was that in Northern Pacific pre-

ton before the close. London was a mod

The tone of the money market continued
unsettled today. Loans were reported
during the day as high as per cent, but
at the close OF the market there We're

figure. This sudden weakening OF call
money had no influence on the prices OF

Answer to Elliott.

Washington, Aug. Io-The state de.
partment has made formal answer to
charges preferred against Commissioner
John w. Foster by Professor Henry J,
Elliott, in his letter to Assistant Secre.
tary Day. The statement says:
Professor Elliott is not now, nor has
he been for several years past, connected
with the Smithsonian institute or any de.
partment of the government. In 1896
he made report upon the seal islands
as an agent of the treasury department.
but it was so full of inaccurate state
ments, betrayed such want of scientific
knowledge, was SO hostile to the interests
of the United States, and was written in
such prejudiced spirit that Secretary
Blaine declined to send it to congress OF
allow it to be printed"
From that date Professor Elliott ceased
to have any connection with the govern
ment and the officials say he has lost nc
opportunity to attack every step taken
by it on the subject and to abuse all per
sons having any official relation to seal
ing matters. His report was printed by
the British government and strongly Ie
lied upon by the British counsel before
the tribunal to overthrow the position oi
the United States.

state convention met this morning at
$50 with Chairman Feitz presiding. AT
9 o'clock the convention was in the hands
of the police. The force had its hands
full trying to stop the first fights and re-
store the convention to order. Chair
man Feitz left the chair and the report
ers and spectators scrambled to gain
p possession of vantage points to overlook
the fray.
The cause was the report OF the com.
mlttee on rules, the last sentence of
which limited allspeeches to five minutes.
In the midst of spirited discussion
Peter Witt of Cleveland, opposing the
FIVE minute rule rose and stated that
those favoring 1t were backed by Hanna.
Blows followed.
No arrests have yet been made and all
is chaos. 1t now looks as though the
convention would split.
