CAPITOL GOSSIP.

Ex-senator'T c.iPower, of Montana, is
in the city engaged, 80 far as the public is
concerned, in an effort to pile up the wool
tariff. But as a matter of fact while here
he is trying to take few political falls out
OF Senator Carter. The ex-senator wants
somethingto say about Montana patronage,
but thus far he has had indifferent success,
and is not likely TO fare much better than
ex-senator Sanders, who has been here on
a Observation-Disclosures. An interesting
feature of the present situation is tnat
while Senator Power is here vigorously
criticising the provisions OF the bill as
destructive OF the wool interests, his paper,
published at Fort Benton, the River Press,
is denouncing Representative Hartman be-
cause he refused to vote for the bill, which
the ex-senator says is unjust.

HUNTER Is INDICTED.
True Bill Against the Repub-
Imam Nominee I'm Kentucky.

FRANKFORT, April 1.-THE Frank
lin county grand jury has returned
true bills against DR.. w. Godfrey Hun
ter, the Republican nominee for the
United States senate; ex-Congressman
John Henry Wilson, of the Eleventh
district: Hon. E. T. Franks, of the Sec
ond district; Capt. Noel Gaines, and
his brotherin-law, Thomas Tanner, of
Frankfort. These named have been
indicted for conspiracy to bribe. All
are Republicans with the exception of
Gaines and Tanner.
The indictments were all in one bill,
and were filed in court at 1920 a. M
The news at once became public, and
created the greatest Indignation among
Republicans, all Of whom denounced it
as a conspiracy among Frankfort DEM
ocrats to defeat and humiliate Hunter
They claimed that the indictments
against Gaines and Tanner, the Demo-
Gratis, were returned simply as SAY
ers,' to prevent the public generally
from gaining the impression that the
grand jury had been made an engine
of political persecution, and that they
would be dismissed at the first hear
ing on account of insufficient evidence
Chairman Jones, of the Republican
caucus, said that it was q diabolical
and hellish conspiracy, and that the
Republicans would disprove and resent
1t in the proper spirit. State Senator
Deboe was of the same opinion, and
not one Of the Republican leaders hesi-

A FOUR CENT BULGE In WHEAT.
The Pit at Chicago the Scene of Most Sensational
Advance in Prices.

CHICAGO, April 17.-This was one
of the record breaking days In the
wheat market. That article closed,
after an exciting days business, at an
advance of 41s cents over the price 1t
left off at Thursday. The heaviest
and most successful Of the local spec
ulators in the business were on the
buying side, and shorts were caught
and badly squeezed. Wheat was weak
for about three minutes at the start
but soon got over that, and strong,

would hardly describe it. 1t became
excited, for a few minutes at time, on
several occasions. May and July fu-
lures started within u Of a cent. of
each other, but, as the rise in the price
which followed the weak start was
approaching It's climax. May shot 5s of
a cent or more ahead OF July, which
gave rise to the idea that shorts in
the former month were more numerous
than had been supposed. May opened
at from 69% cents down 10 6sss cents,
as compared with 69% cents at the
close of Thursdays session. 1t acted
in an uncertain way for few minutes,
at around the prices named, and then
commenced to struggle for the meager
offerings, which, in a. little more than
a quarter of an hour from the start,
had advanced May to 711s cents, and
July to 711a cents. At the bottom of
the reasons for the advance was un-
doubtedly the bad accounts from the
country about winter wheat prospects,
but stronger and more direct cause,
at the moment, was the report received
from New York that foreigners were
heavy buyers of wheat there. They
were said to be taking both spot and
futures, and their inquiries for the
cash article extended to Chicago. New
York sales for export were reported
at thirty-fve boat loads, some at an
advance of Is per quarter, equivalent to
about S@ cents per bushel. May was
chiefly in demand, but July kept after

tated to condemn the action of the
grand jury as partisan and prejudiced.
When the indictments had been re-
turned, Judge Cantrill added that
bench warrants be issued for the ar
rest of the accused and made return
able for the next term of the court,
which is in September Bail was fixed
at $3.50 in each case. When asked why
he set the cases for next September
Judge Cantrill said: II do not think
it proper to try the cases at this term Of
the court, but if the parties come in
and ask for an immediate trial, will
proceed with it at once. Otherwise it
will go until September
Capt. Noel Gaines, one of the indicted
parties, and the man who claimed that
Hunter and his lieutenants had en-
! deavored to secure his assistance in
obtaining votes, gave out a red hot
interview this morning, asserting his
innocence and saying, among other
things: "A man may be forgiven for
stealing, as when starvation is at hand,
but no man should be countenanced for
lying, as these men CHunter, Wilson
and others) have DONE
The vital portion of the true bill re-
turned by the Franklin county grand
jury is as follows:
The said DR.. W. Godfrey Hunter, John H.
Wilson, Noel Gaines, e. T. Franks and
Thomas Tanner. did unlawfully corruptly
and wickedly conspire, combine, confederate
and agree together to attempt to bribe them,
the said w. G.. Gossam, George Clark and
John IL. Johns members of the legislatuTe)
and to offer them the sum of S. 900 each for
the sole purpose of securing and influencing
them to cast their votes in the manner and at
the time provided by law for the election
of the said w. Godfrey Hunter, and by such
unlawful means to secure his election to the
said Office.
The session of the general assembly
this morning was uneventful in the eX-
treme, the bribery indictments over
shadowing all else. Many of the mem
bers were absent, and those who were
not had made pairs. According to
previous agreement, a formal ballot
was taken, and one vote was cast for
each of the candidates-Hunter, Black
burn, Boyle and Stone. 1t is not be-
lieved that the indictments will force
Hunter to withdraw. On the contrary
it is believed that it will sOlidify his
forces, and that he will stand like a
stone wall against all opposing forces
from now on, as the majority of the Re-
publicans now here are inclined to the
opinion that it is nothing more or less
than political persecution. The boiling
Republicans are gleeful, and are urg-
ing a call for another caucus. Hunter
men insist that If new caucus is
called they will again win.
DR.. Hunter has given assurances that
he will not block an election, but he
feels that he cannot quit the race under
fire. Senator Jones, chairman Of the
Joint caucus, tonight said: Whenever
majority petitions for a caucus, or
when DR.. Hunter asks it, 1 will issue
the call. DR.. Hunter has said he will
not stand in the way of an election
if he cannot himself be elected"

No Ceremonies Beyond the Attend
ance of a Guard of Honor.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE body of
Gen. Grant was removed this afternoon
from it's temporary tomb to the impos-
ing mausoleum, which is designed to
be its permanent resting place. There
was no ceremonial, and, beyond the at
tendance of a guard of honor, the re-
moval was accomplished without spe-
cial incident. The interest Of the pub
lie in the event was attested by tho
presence of several thousand people
although the hour for the removal had
not been previously announced.
At $3.50, Ulysses S. Grant Jr., arrived
with Gen. Horace Porter, but it was
not until 1856 that the casket proper
was carried out of the temporary tomb
at 4:10 the guard of honor was drawn
up two abreast, and the flag on the
flagstaff near by, was lowered to half
mast. The doors Of the frame en-
closure were then thrown open and the
casket was borne out on the shoulders
Of six Of the undcrtaker's men. The
casket was placed in the sarcophagus

Search of Hoarded Money.

FINDLAY, O., April 1.-THE fam
GUS Blakesley family, living three
miles from this city, were robbed and
tortured at o'clock this morning by
twelve masked robbers. The family
consists Of Mrs. Rebecca Blakesley.
Eliza Blakesley, a daughter and John
and Smith Blakesley, sons. They are
the posseSsors of valuable oil fields,
and known as misers. By common
report for years they boarded money
in the house. The burglars broke into
the bedroom, where all four people
were sleeping, and a desperate fight
ensued. Both John and Smith were
beaten into insensibility, and Mrs.
Blakesley and daughter were bound
hand and foot Torches were applied
to their feet to make them reveal the
hiding place of the treasures, without
avail. Some Of the robbers meanwhile
were ransacking the house, and found
in q bureau drawer $1,000 in bills and
three gold watches. Eliza was the
first to release herself from bondage,
and summoned help from the city.
John Blakesiey is in a critical condi-
ton, and 1t is feared he will die
Smiths head was cut open, and the
feet Of both women are badly burned.
