CHICAGO, March IL. G. Andrews &
c.: Receipts of wheat at primary markets
are $4,000 bushels against 61l0O0 bushels
last week
Car lots at Chicago, Minneapolis and Du-
luth are Coo against 496 last week and "a
last year
A Minneapolis correspondent wires that
"Out of % cars received here this morning
by one firm, II Inspected No. l hard and
the rest No. l northern" Another Mime
apolis correspondent says: I'VE are antici-
pating quite large receipts the balance of
the month to escape taxation. Cash wheat
demand decidedly dull with a weak condi
ton Of the flour market Small demand
for flour, both foreign and domestic.
Another two weeks of good weather and
seeding operations will be in active force.
The amount Of wheat and flour on pas
sage increased 1.0OS 600 bushels. The world s
shipments were Marty 100000 bushels. or
at least 100000 above estimated require
ments.
Liverpool wheat stocks decreased 1850
bushels and are reported as being only
about one weeks supply. 1t looks singular
to say the least, that an importing country
should In the face of political complica-
tons. which would seriously affect her
interests and her supplies, show declin-
Ing wheat market and an Indifference TO
stocks. 1t Is evident that as in this coun-
try there is a private elevator stock which
Is not reported and as we'll it is sure that
flour stocks are above the average. Wa
have today 36 cars Of contract wheat on
livered from private to public elevators
ana the manufacturers are still in vigorous
operation. We see no reason to distrust
the ability of invisible supplies comprising
the visible demand.
The market today has been governed by
the Cuban and Russo Chinese complica-
tons and has shown only moderate activ-
tty. The pit is bearish. We advise our
friends to sell only on sharp bulges at
present.
Corn and provisions have been real weak
Corn Is cheap enough. but the weather Is
favorable to a free movement and we may
get a little lower market
Provisions should be sold on rallies The
cash demand Is decreasing.

San Francisco, Nov. THE Hale &

long pending litigation between President
NJ. W. Fox and the old directors of the

Judgment in the case was entered by Su-

PENDANTS to pay the plaintiff stockholders

1t now remains to be seen who will re-

Washington, Nov. s.-Colonel Hecker,
with Colonel Lee of the board which was
sent to Cuba to select camp site for the
American army of occupation, has reach
ed Washington and has had several con
ferences with the president and Secretary
Alger. The secretary has approved the

place selected lies about eight miles south
OF Havana, in the neighborhood of the
town of Mariana. Two camps will be
pitched at this point, one Oh either side
of the splendid aqueduct which supplies
Havana with water. This adueduct will
be tapped and the water drawn by steam
pumps from it to supply the camps
which will be pitched in pleteau about
| l60 feet above sea level.
At the nearest point to the camp on the
sea beach dock is being constructed
The troops will be landed at this poin
and marched directly to the camp, thu
purpose being to avoid exposure to posi-
bic infection in Havana.

GERMANY REBUKES GREED.


Berlin. Nov. Tho news that the
United States now demands the whole nf
the Philippine islands has created much
interest here The German newspapers
comment unfavorably upon it.
The Cologne Gazette SAYS The inter
est- of Germany will be especially injured
by the American annexation, as the pol
lev of the open door which has hitherto
reigned under the Spanish flag will be
quickly ended. Moreover, the American
demand from a humane point OF view l.
unheard Of 1t means the squeezing OF
fallen foe 10 the last drop of blood, and
would suly the name OF the victor. The
whole sympathies OF the world would be
on the side of Spain, brutally ground
down by her enemy
National Zeitung points out that the
Philippine islands would, i'll American
hands, become not only of immense conf
mercial but OF paramount Importance,
which all OF the powers that have become
interested in the far east are bound to
seriously consider"
Therefore, the National Xeitung thinks
some power may oppose the change OF
ownership.
The Vossiche Zeitung lectures thc
United States for its alleged greed and
the Deutsche Zeitung describes the Unit
ed States demands as an unfortunate
piece OF characteristic Yankee impudence
, and calls on Europe to put its foot dow
while there is yet time.
5 The government of Germany and tn
) semi official newspapers have been silen
t or extremely cautious. But it is quit
| evident that Germany will not interior
e in the settlement OF the Philippine que1
e ton, nor even encourage interference vi
ON the part OF Others, and it is under
: stood that this has been minated TO tn
j. Spanisn government.

STILL IN FEAR Of AGU|NAlDO.
HE MAY YET MAKE TROUBLE,
An Officer of General Mcrritts stan
SAYS That the Rebels Control
Iuzon, and That More Troops May
IL. Required 10 settle Matters In
the Philippines.

New York, Nov. S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says.
Major Simpson, OF General Merritt ;
staff, has just returned from Manila, and
though personally he does hot seem to
fear serious trouble with the force of
Aguinaldo, he says there is distinct Senti-
,nent among the United States troops
that there may be trouble and more
troops may be needed.
ACuinaldo's force is reckoned at about
5000 and Major Simpson freely admits
| that the rebels are in control OF the island
OF Luzon. The recent attack on Ilo Ito by
| the forces of Aguinaldo recalled to him
that Aguinaldo had some transports and
about 500 of the Luzon troops had beer
carried to the island OF Panay.
| On the island OF Mindanao the situation
is not understood as the inhabitants arr
mostly Mohammedans. Little or no in
yestigation OF the situation there ha
been made by our army. Back in TIN
hills OF Luzon many tribes are almos
uncivilized and have never felt the fore
of either the insurgents or Spaniards
To conplicate the situation the priest
are now intriguing to make the rebel
! DISCONTINUED with Aguinaldo and to Sc
up another insurgent chief. Should al
the islands pass into the hands OF tn
United States, the situation might be on
of surprises.
The fact that Aguinaldo's troops al
l tackled Ito no, according to Major SIM
e son, shows that Aguinaldo has not "a
l guessed in the decision involved in til
) fall OF Manila.

BRUTAL CRIME IN PORTLAND
italian BoOtblack Murdered by Foul
Eiends within the City.

Portland, Ore, Nov. within the
city limits of Portland one OF the most
tiendish crimes imaginable was discovered
about noon Saturday. The victim WAS
Angelo Sericko, an Italian bootblack 10
years old, upon whom first Il nameless AS
sault was committed and who was then
dragged to his death by his assailants
Sericko's body, scratched and bruised.
from being dragged and with marks OF the
rope still around his neck, was found in
an orchard ON East Burnside street be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty-tirst street
The boy had not returned home the pre-
vious night and his family, who live
within 200 feet Of the place where the
body was found, had been alarmed by his
absence and early in the morning the
father, mother, sister and younger broth
err started out to search for him. For
several hours their efforts were unavall-
ing and they returned home when the
Younger brother, Il lad of g years, almost
stumbled over his brothers body, lying
face downward on the grass. Its APP
pearance left no doubt as to the manner
of death. The clothing was torn almost
off, the neck showed traces OF a tightly
drawn rope and also evidences OF having
been dragged.
A post mortem examination revealed
! the fact that death had resulted from
strangulation and that an unspeakabl'
crime had been committed before tn,
murder. 1t seems probable that more thar
one man was engaged in the crime as th'
boy was above the average size for hi
age and one man, unless very powerful
could hardly have done the deed. Their
is no clue to the murderers.
