Wheat reached its highest point in
years last week on the Chicago mar
ket, selling at sl.l0 bushel. There is
growing belief that this figure will
be surpassed by May wheat. sep;em-
Der wheat touched sl.O5. December
reached SlO9 and JaGulry added an
other cent Friday Of Inst week. with
two more days to beat this record.
Everything points 10 great scarcity
abroad, and the suspicion is growing
that so much wheat has been exported
as to leave no surplus at home. Ex-
perts submit the following figures:
Wheat crop raised in United sta'es last

Washington, Feb. 12.-The personal
incident growing out of the publication
of Senor De Lome's letter to Senior Ca.
nalejas may be regarded as settled.
This has been brought about by the
short cablegram sent by Minister
Woodford from Madrid, in which he
states that the minister had resigned
and his resignation had been accepted
before he (Ir. WoodforD presented
the request of the United States that
he be recalled. The officials here feel
an interest In learning the details of
happenings in Madrid yesterday and
are waiting for Mr.. Woodford's prom
iscd full report. But unless this should
contain some statement that Is not now
expected there is no disposition on the
part of the government to protract the
closing of this unpleasant incident, and
it is not expected that anything in the
nature of n demand for an apology
would be made. If graceful dis
claimer should come, that will be
taken in the spirit in which 1t is made
otherwise the matter will be dropped
and the relations between the State
Department and the Spanish legation
will run smoothly once more through
the medium of Senor Du Bose, the first
secretary, and now charge d'airaires.
1t can be said for the President that
he shows little personal concern in the
matter as II stands and is not disposed
to pursue Mr.. De LONE in any personal
spirit, and with this spirit in the head
of the American nation, the end of the
affair may be said to have been
reached.

survey the area in which gilsonite is
found cove considerable territory
in the Uncumpaghre Indian reserva-
