Detective Weldon arrested a tall. rath-
er distinguished looking man, about fifty
years of age, last night, who had regis
tered as guest at one of the downtown
hotels under the name of Charles H. Ste

lie Has Already Sent Millions of
Bushels to Europe.

Chicago. March 2l.-Seven million bush
els of wheat bought by Joseph Letter
have been shipped and contracts made
will run the total to 100000 bushels
The closing of new contracts with the
railroads for the movement of an addi-
tional million and half bushels of wheat
to the seabOard is the latest incident
showing the vastness of Mr.. Letters Op-
erations in wheat. About 100000 bushels
have been loaded and dispatched within
a month. Orders have been issued 10 the
elevators for the loading of another mil
lion bushels. and now arrangements have
been completed for the hurrying abroad
of million and half bushels additional
Mr. Letter has ocean tonnage for f.
600. 900 bushel wheat ready for his wheat
as il arrives at Eastern ports. Since last
September his shipments from Chicago
have been not less than 100000 bushels
His additional contracts Will raise that
to $500 600 bushels. He has 100000 bush
els in vessels here waiting the opening of
navigation That will raise the total of
his shipments on his campaign up TO
April 10 to 10 1000, O00 bushels.
There is every reason to believe his
shipments during the next few months
Will be on the same vast scale. There
has never been anything like it, The
Letter wheat shipments have been the
potent influnce in the forign exchange
market Some of the banks in New
York which have been importing gold
on a scale to attract the attention of
the whole country have done so because
they We're handling Letters foreign bills

gold back than To sell the exchange,
The trade is beginning to admit that it
has been wrong in its skeDticisms to
export sales abroad.
The wheat has been on the market.
and yet has been handled in way to
make the offerings seem all the time
scarce. Letters statement some week {
ago that the i0O0 COO bushels wheat
started abroad at that time had been
sold does not now seem so much an
eXaggeration as so many thought it at
that time. While the nominal cash
price at the Letter office has been 10
cents over May. the milIers demand ev-
erywhere has been met. The consumer
who wanted grain to grind found he
could get the wheat cheaper from the
big Chicago holder than he could from
anybody else. Letter has shown greaS
agility in the market also.
He sold on Friday and Saturday at the
advancing prices on as large a scale as
he had bought during the depression

AN UNLUCKY HONEYMOON.
IiI-Luck Pursues SybiI Sanderson
and Her Husband.

Nice Italy. March 21.-The pathetic
story of Sibyl Sandersons honeymoon has
just been learned. The famous singer so
well known in New York, Paris, Washing
ton and California, was married on De-
cember l in Paris to Antonio Terry, the
Cuban millionaire. They came here for
the honeymoon, taking private house.
The bride became ill in a few days,
and physicians, who were called in. said
she was suffering from brain fever. Sen
sational reports reached a select circle
of friends in Nice to the effect that the
singer showed the symptoms of paresis,
having especially grandiOse notions of in
tggnat:onal grand opera.
The brides mother and sister We're sent
for and they came from Mr.. Terry's mag
niiicent palace near Paris Mr.. Terry also
had his own physician come from Paris
In spite of all that money could do, the
fair patients condition became worse. y
somi-paralysis set in and she became un-
able to move her limbs As nearly as
could be learned the m, nJaI maIady, if
such there was, passed away.
To aid to her distress misfortune fell
also on Mr. Terry. Some malady affect
ing his eyes manifested itself, and it was
feared for q long time that he would lose
his sight. Physicians have been in daily.
almost hourly, attendance upon the af-
flicted couple.
Mr.. Terry has decided to go back to his
palace near Paris IN order 10 avail him
self of the most skilled medical attend
ance in the world. His eyes are no better
and his bride is helpless as a babe.

Chicago. March 21-Governors of South
ern States cannot decide as to the exact
moment when Marquis de Hoyos' South
ern rebellion will occur The incendiary
remark Of Mr. De Hoyos. reported from
Vienna, is as follows:
IF, during a war, the United States
should incite the Philippines 20 revolt
Spain could revenge herself by raising
revolts in the American Southern States"
The horrible possibility of Mr.. De
HOyos starting his rebellion of the South
ern States when nobody was looking
prompted kilograms from newspapers
here to Southern governors asking them
to please wire the eXacr time when the
thing would be pulled off" The govern
ors responded literally. Owing TO certain
rules Of the telegraph companies some of
their remarks concerning Mr.. De Hoyos
We're not transmitted
The Lone Star States governors re-
sponse was:
Austin, Textile State officials of
Texas do not think that Texas will re-
spond to the call for revolt as threatened
by Spain. Governor Culberson is not in
the city tonight to express himself. but
the other members of the cabinet say
that they hardly think Spain can make
Texas revolt unless Spain keeps fooling
around L IclE sam
Other States were heard from in the fol-
lowing order:
Raleigh n. C.-North Carolina is fair
ly shrieking for rebellion and De Hoyos.
Especially De HoyOs. Governor Russell
says no part of the United States is more
devoted to the Old Flag than the South
ern States and that war will prove this
Jackson. Mss.-We are willing to rebel
under the gallant De Hoyos for two rea-
sons-first, we are Spanish anyhow, be-
cause this State once belonged to Spain.
and second, if we go out of the Union De
Hoyos will come TO see US. We are will
ing to get De Hoyos at any sacrifice. We
will probably not stay out of the Union
long-only about five minutes. We will be
through with Mr.. De Hoyos by that time
and then we will come back"
''Frankfort, Ky.-Kentucky wants
blood" To which enthusiastic outburst
Governor Bradley added:
The people all over the South are more
anxious to fight the Spaniards than those
of other parts Of the United States. and if
volunteers are called for | believe more
men in proportion to the population would
enlist from Kentucky and other Southern
States than from their Northern sisters. ~

Judge Bradley the Cause.


The colored ministers Of this city are
cndeavoring to secure official investiga-
ton of the remark made some time ago
by Judge Andrew c. Bradley, of the Dis
trict Supreme Court when he sentenced
Smith, the negro murderer. to be hanged
"Lynching, probably would DE better

pense Of keeping and hanging such

said last night:
Yes. the matter was discussed by the
committee but no action taken. We
were informed that Judge Bradley had
made use of such an expression but the
information was secondhand, and We
have no confirmation. There was some
doubt about the correctness of the quota
tion. l cannot say what Will be done
after a further investigation.
Just what action might be taken in
the matter is doubtful The Judges of
the District Supreme Court are appoint
ed by the President, and Impeachment
proceedings is the only course that can
be taken for his removal, but it is not
believed that such a step viii be follow
ed. The attention of Judge Bradley was
called to the serious appearance Of the
case as reported, and last evening, in an
interview with newspaper correspond
ent. he said:
Much more notice has been taken of
this incident than ii deserves. The re-
mark was made after the prisoners mo-
ton for a new trial had been heard and
oVerrulcd. and he had been sentenced
and removed from the room. His crime
was a most brutal one, and his conduct
when he was asked whether he had any
thing to say why sentence should not
be imposed upon him was most remark
able in its exhibition Of Indifference and
insensate brutality. It had created a
strong feeling Of surprise and disgust in
the minds of those present, which was
clearly expressed in their cOuntenanceS.
Criminal business had been concluded,
and the court was about to begin the
hearing of civil motions. Speaking to the
lawyers present. and not officially, but
| in a conversational way. remark was
made to the effect that the community
| would be well rid of such a man, and
! that in the case of such a brute Il sum
! mary execution might well follow, in
| stead of subjecting the Government to
| the expense of keeping him. That was
| the sense in which the word lynch was
| inadvertently used and understood, / am
! assured. by the lawyers present.

An Almshouse Inmates Successful
''Ad." for al HeIpmeet:
Cumberland, Nd, March 21-A gentle
man, who came to this city yesterday
from Tucker County. w. Va. brings a
romantic story. Mrs. Malisso Prunty. an
inmate of the almshouse Of Tucker Coun-
ty, advertised in an Eastern paper for a
husband. As the result she will leave the
aimshouse on Wednesday of this week to
go to Webster City, Iowa to wed Mr.. D.
y. Welch, Of that city, who answered the
''ad." The man found out the true his
tory Of the woman, and her real circum-
stances, and was perfectly satisfied. He
said she was from all accounts, just the
woman he had been looking for for sew
eral years. He sent the woman $50. to
pay for her trip to Webster City. Mrs
Prunty's first husband was a railroad
man, who was killed while at work on the
railroad. She received $500 insurance on
his life. and invested it in land. but the
title proved to be worthless, and she lost
the whole sum. Having three small chill
dren and no relatives, she was compelled
to seek shelter in the almshouse. one of
her children is being cared for by a fam
lily at West Newton, and the other two
have been with her. She will take her
children with her to her new Western
home.

and reign supreme" he said. "do you
believe that He would carry a single
State in the Union. or a single county
in State, a single ward in a coun-
ty, or a single precinct in the whole
country? l don't.
People are willing to talk about
churches and priests and bishops and
theology and religion but when they
come to talk of Christ they don't want
Him. Would the societies want Him?
Would the Freemasons admit Him?
Would the Odd Fellows? Why, no He
