Minneapolis-The output this week
is estimated al 40, 600 barrels, With
the big changes I'm wheat, flour is un-
settled. The, sales of Minneapolis
last week wsfe2eo,oOO barrels. The
great bulk u this flour went 10 the
domestic trade and was bought chief
ly in four days. ThE1lomestic trade
appeared to have no more fa@hs in
higher prices than formerly, bg&seem-
ed to think it policy to takssa little
more than it had been doing.
Superior-Duluth-The production
this week is estimated as25, 900 bar
rels. With the higher wheat there was
an improved demand for patent, quite
satisfactory sales being made. There
was no export business, foreigners
being absolutely out of the market
and clears were awfully duh.
st. Louis and the soutiiwest-With
the wild wheat market last week -four
was unsettled and not a great deal of
business was DONE either domestic or
export. There was demand for hard
wheat flour and some of that was
worked to Texas points and domestic
trades, notably the east, bur in very
small lots and at very close figures.
Mill feed is scarce and In very good
demand. Most of the mills have sold
ahead and the amount OF feed is not
sufficient to supply the needs.
Milwaukee-High wheat and uncer-
tain values for -four made trade slow.
The output will be lighter this week.

Chicago-Millers made good sales

New Orleans, La, Aug. PA new

one is in the tropics. Reports have
come to this city lately that big finds
of gold have been made in Nicaragua
and the steamers from that section
have been bringing in gold dust in
proof of it.
s. E. Spence. a well known citizen,
of Houston, Texas, arrived here yes
terday on the steamer Fulton,
plying between New Orleans,
L.. and Nicaraguan ports
and cofirmed the story about the dis
coveries in Nicaragua. He says he
has been all over the gold field dis
trict and that valuable sold is there
in large quantities. He has acquired
valuable claims and will return as
soon as he can make arrangements
to work them. He says the whole
gold section down there is very rich
and the climate splendid. He says
unemployed miners of the United
States will do much better there than
in attempting 10 go to Alaska. Food
in Nicaragua is cheap and other
things are reasonable.

THE PEOPLES FORUM
An Unfair Proposition.

To the Editor of The Times:
The resolution introduced by Hon, W. 4.
Stone that the privilege of the public and
private galleries Of the House be reserved
on February 10 next exclusively to the
families of Senators and Members has q
tinge OF selfishness in it. The same prin-
ciple which instigated the salary grab in
'73 is the mover Of such a proposition.
In this case the rights appropriated are Of
smaller value, it is true, but that axes the
proposition none the less contemptble.
Certain galleries are set apart for the
press, the diplomatic corps, the Members
and the general public. SO far the arrange
ment is admitted as proper. But on occa-
sionS of special interest as the counting Of
the electoral ballots on the 10th instant,
why should the general public be ordered
to step aside and be deprived of their
gallery in order to give place TO the rela-
tives of congressman? The only semblance
OF right TO make such an order is the
power To do it, but the proposition to make
such use of the power is so selfish il should
not stand unrebuked.

Capt George Shaw, formerly of the
United States Navy, is mourning the loss
OF property which, he says, was worth far
more than its weight in gold. The theft
took place in Chicago. Capt. Shaw was
making preparations TO come to Washing
ton. and while getting ready had engaged
rooms for himself and wife at Mrs. j. >
orth's. No l343 Michigan avenue. He
went there on Wednesday and left bis
katcbel cont aiming papers of great value,
together with numerous relIcs and cuuos
gathered in various parts OF the world, In
the care Of Mrs. 0rth.
Thursday morning he returned to Mrs.
Orth with his wife and baggage, and an
uounced that he was ready to he shown to
his rooms. The first thing he did was to
look for his satchel and he found that il
was missing Mrs. 0rth was appealed to
and informed of the valuable contents, but

70 her as il was to Capt. Shaw, and she
was unable to offer any information as to
its wicrea bouts.
Then the captain appealed to Lieut.. Cud-
more, OF the Harrison street police station.
Capt Shaw spoke guardedly Of his loss,
and was determined not to expose the
contents of the papers, and all questioning
was without avail. The captain said he
would remain in Chicago until the satchel
was recovered and would tlen proceed
90 Washington. He said he did not doubt
that il would be returned to him.
When il is discovered that the papers
are worthless to anybody but myself he
said, Il TANK they viii bc returned 20
me Tie papers are OF the utmost value.
Tie contents are a secret and ] cannot
inform anybody of the nature OF them.
Some of the papers are involved in a
damage suit for nearly 100000, and
value them at that amount. There were
also other papers of the greatest import
ance in the satchel, some being OF value
between myself and the government, but
In what way / ann not at liberty to state

Capt Shaw declares that the loss OF
