CHICAGO, April 24.-Wheat was very strong
today, the May option adding 1Bc to the 1asc
advance which marked yesterdays session
July was even stronger, closing at 24sc
gain. Undoubtedly the news had its
effect but to the excited advance at San
Francisco and bad crop reports from that
neck of the woods was due most of the ad-
vance. Altogether, shorts had a bad day
of it. Other grain and provision markets
also exhibited strength, corn advancing hc,
cats &c and provisions 21k@5c.
May wheat, which closed yesterday at 1890
75c, started in today at from 1875 to 75%c, the
lower of these quotations being the lowest
of the day. July commenced at 75A@7512c,
an advance of B@11sc, and touched 75c ON an
early reaction. May rose, in the course Of
the forenoon, to 773sc and July to TIC. Clos
ing prices were 767Ac for May and 769s@76Ac
for July. 1t was an exciting day in the pit
Everything seemsed to favor an advance, and
the air was made to culver with the amount
Of bull news that was set in motion soon after
the opening. Acceptances of spot wheat, Of
fered to the United Kingdom by cable yester-
day afternoon, were On basis of 76Ac in Chi
cago. Eighty thousand blu of No. spring
was reported worked for export in the first
fifteen minutes of this mornings session;
10000 blu more added inside of the next
Louis, were features which made things fair
ly bubble. But perhaps the most exciting
news came from California. 1t was to the eff
feet that hot winds were sweeping over the
wheat sections of that state, and, with con-
tinued drought, greatly injuring the
growing crop, which would be practically
ruined by few days continuance of such
conditions. An excited advance of &C per
GENITAL in the price on the San Francisco curb
was regarded as confirming the reported crit
zeal situation Of the crop. The war news was
also considerable factor and probably &C
counted for the 114d advance at Liverpool
which started the local market on the ramp
age. Shorts were Enthusiastically alarmed and
the extent to which they covered was shown
in the 214c advance which took place during
the morning. Some reaction was inevitable
but the closing was very strong with cover
ing going on actively to the last minute.
Corn was firm all day. May opened a
shade higher at 244@I47sc and advanced slow
ly to 25lsc, closing strong at that price Oats
were very strong. May opened &c higher at
1890, sold a shade under that then advanced
to 1S14c closing at 1880. Provisions started
out rather weak, in sympathy with a similar
feeling in the live stock market. At the
cose May pork was 21Ac higher at $3.50; May
lard, PFC higher at SALTY and May ribs SC
higher at $4.75G4.7712c. Estimated receipts

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 24-The course ~
the Chicago curb trading in wheat before
the opening this morning caused our local
operators to wait with Impotence for the
opening hour. A suppressed excitement was
evident from the faces and actions of active
traders, and when the proper time came the
speculative pit was more than full of anxious
men to buy wheat at the first opportunitv
The first bid for May was q full cent over
yesterdays close. The offer was so quickly
accepted by more than one that buyers i'm
mediately checked their enthusiasm for high
er prices by bidding under. AS q result there
was reaction Of 2s@hc from the top during
the first fifteen minutes, after which the mar
ket ruled very active with large transactions
done within the limits Of nc from the low
figure. For another half hour the market
ruled steady and strong. About 10: 80 the de-
mand for May and July wheat became more
urgent, resulting in a quick advance of a.

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, April a.-The dulIness OF The
trade continued today and the market sagged
from inaction. The lower prices Of American
securities on the London exchange gave the
tone to the opening here where prices OF the
international shares promptly adjusted thsmS
selves to the London parity, except In the
cases OF Reading and Southern preferred.
These two stocks were an exception on the
London exchange In showing fractional gains
over the New York closing But New York
declined to adopt the London view Of them
and they bought and sold here at q decline
about proportional with the other interna-
taonals. Advioes from the European ev-
changes indicated a more serious View of the
war than has been taken since the hrst trad

RUSSIAN ROADS
Millions to Be Spent on Lines in
China

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-Admiral
E. Alexeieff Of the Russian navy arrived,
on the China from the Orient en- route
to St. Petersburg. For over two years
he has been in command of the Russian
squadron in Chinese, Japanese and ST.
berian waters, the cruiser Ruric being
his flagship. He has been relieved of
his command, and is going home to
await orders accompanied by Captain
Molas and Lieutenant Bakhmeteff of his
staff
The admiral says that 500 miles of the
trans-Siberian railroad have been COM
pleted from Vladivostock eastward to
habarovka. He insists that the original
route has not been abandoned in favor
Of shorter route. through Manchuria
to Vladivostock.
Current reports that the Russian gov
ernment has obtained concession from
China to extend the trans-Siberian line
through Manchuria to Port Arthur, as
a more favorable tide-water terminal
than Vladivostock, are pronounced by
him to be untrue. He says that syndi-
cate of Russians and Chinese will build
a railroad from a. point on the trans
Siberian line through Manchuria to
Vladivostock. The government will
have its own line in Siberian territory to
the same port. The syndicate is build
ing its Manchuria extension as an in
vestment, because it will run through a
rich and thickly settled country. The
road will cost the Russian governm e'Et
about $261 100000, it's total length out
side of Russia proper being 4N miles.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
The Coroner's Jury Holds Savage for
the Killing of Roche

Coroner Campbell held an inquest at
Sam Pedro yesterday over the remains
Of William Roche, who was shot at that
place last Wednesday night during a
quarrel with Pat Savage, tailor. The
jury returned verdict charging Savage
with murder.
Roche was IS years of age. He was
employed by c.. Scheerer, a street con-
tractor in this city. Roche made an
antemorten statement in which he said
that Savage had accused him of rob-
bing Thomas Golden and himself. Roche
denied the accusation but did not offer
any violence. Savage left the room and
when he returned asked Roche out to
the back porch. When he arrived there
Savage said: you've got my money and
I'm going to plug you. Take that!" at
the same time firing at him.
Roche's father was formerly on the
police force in this city. This is his third
son who has been killed by shooting.
Walter Bretner testified that Savage
came into his place of business Wednes-
day forenoon and said that he was go
ing to ''do up'' a man. City Marshal

UNDER THE WHEELS
SUICIDE OF A DEsPoNDENT AND
AGED FRENCHMAN
Of no Use to Himself or Anyone Else,
So He Threw Himself in Front
Of Train

August Arnet, decrepit old man and
mitted suicide yesterday morning by
owing himself under a moving train
in the Southern Pacific yards on San
Fernando street. The tragedy occurred
at 1890 o'clock. The trainmen were
switching some cars at the time. Arnet
walked up to the lire of coaches, and
when the space between the cars came
opposite him dropped down upon the
track face upward just In front of
pair of trucks The body fell diagonaliy
across the track and the entire train
passed over it, crushing in the face and
almost severing the body at the chest.
Arnet made no demonstration when he
cast himself under the wheels and
workmen standing near did not see the
act.
Arnet was native of France and 81
years of age. He has no relatives here
so far as is known. He was admitted
to the county hospital three days ago,
suffering from chronic neuralgia, and
had been in the hospital before, but was
discharged. The old man was addicted
to enter the hospital again lest he would
not be permitted to use the drug. He
expressed his fears to DR.. Barber, who
told him that he would be allowed
enough morphine to quiet his pain if he
returned to the hospital.
On several occasions Arnet has threat
ened to commit suicide and asked DR..
Barber and others about the hospital
if they thought it would be wrong to kill
himself and put himself out of his mis-
cry as he was of ro account to himself
or anybody else. Yesterday morning he
asked permission to go up town and get
his overcoat. He got the coat, and on
the way back stopped at the San Fer
riando yards for awhile ard watched the
trainmen switch the cars. He was no
ticed standing around, but as there was
nothing peculiar about his actions no
attention was paid to him. When he
went up to the moving train for the
purpose of carrying out his oft made
threat, he made no demonstration of
any kind. The body was taken to Orr
& Hines undertaking parlors.
