west receips were 1876 cars against 800 cars
last year. Clearances were fairly liberal.
Stocks of wheat are accommodating in Ar
gentine as well as nearly everywhere else.
The -four output for the past week at
the four principal points equals an aggre-
gate of 10000 barrels, more than the cor
responding week year ago. Receipts are
running larger than shipments right
along. Hence the indications are favor
able for an increase in the visible supply
next Monday. By reason of the snow over
the winter wheat belt, the recent cold
spell has done little damage to the grow
ing crop So much for the bear influence.
On the other hand, is the operation of
gigantic bull clique in Chicago, who con-
troll over 10000 bushels of the finest wheat
in the world today and who have for the
past few months surprised the world in
their manner Of handling the same.
Much, therefore, depends upon what they
may do next. The situation in corn is
improving. Those who ought to be best
posted in regard to this cereal are becom-
ing more friendly in their actions, and
we believe a large line of corn is accumu-
lating on privileges. This is probably be-
ing done to prevent an advance in price.

A YUKON RAILROAD
Canadians Hunting for Routes o.
Their Own Territory


OTTAWA, Ont, April 1A.-William Nc
Kenzie and D. D. Mann have arrived here.
Their presence has started all kinds of
talk as to the likelihood of their arranging
with the government for a new deal for a
railway into the Yukon. One proposition
is to build a railway from Alice Adam or
Portland canal right through to Teslin
lake. This would be entirely through Can
adian territory and would dispose Of all
complications that might arise at Wrange
and give and all-Canadian route. 1t would
also do away with theu ncertainty of nav
igation of the Stickeen and the delays of
trans-shipment at Wrangle. The road.
which would be $40 miles long through a
bad country, would be enormously expen-
sive.
A resolution passed at a public meeting
at Vancouver has been forwarded to Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, representing the import
ance of building a railway from an ocean
port in British Columbia toward the golden
regions in the Klondike and earnestly re-
questing the administration to devise some
means whereby this can be accomplished.
Another proposition has also been men,
toned. 1t is to make some arrangement
with the United States government to Sc
cure bonding privileges, etc., for a railway
from Lynn canal for Fort Selkirk by the
Dalton trail. This would necessitate
charter from the United States and the
Canadian government as well.

CUT RATE TICKETS
To Be Fixed So That Scalpers Cannot
Use Them

CHICAGO, April H.-The Chicago-St.
Paul roads have reached an agreement on
the measures necessary to be adopted to
prevent the manipulation of cut rate tick
cts to North Pacific coast points. They
have decided to ask their eastern connec-
tions to adopt the rebate plan in the sale
of tickets from points in the east to St.
Paul and points beyond other than Pacific
coast points. The amount of rebate they
suggest is $3.50 first-class and IS secon(-
class. Eastbound they propose to make all
tickets good for continuous passage only
and to use signatures for tickets. 1t is not
at all certain that the eastern connections
will accept.
Western Passenger association roads
held meeting here today to devise means
of doing away with extensive demorali-
zation occasioned largely by the payment
of excessive commissions. An agreement
was reached to cease all excessive pay
ments at once. Reduced rates were ar
ranged for a large number of meetings,
conventions, ETC., to be held during the
coming summer. All cut rates other than
those to North Pacific coast points are to
be discontinued Immediately.

ploded. He thought It could have been
planted from scow between decks. Tnere
were. he said. q lot Of idle army Officers IN
Havana and while he would not cnarge
them with anything he thought It not out Of
place to speak Of the possibilities. Captain
Sigsbee said he had shown sketch invoiv-
ing these theories to Captain Sampson
who had also commanded q torpedo sta
tion, and had asked him II vessel could
drop q mine like the one he had described
instantly and that Captain Sampson and
other officers had replied that 1t could.
THAT" said Captain Sigsbee. 'is the real
reason I asked to have the Montgomery
taken away. If they were going to do
anything to blow us up I wanted to have
It done with a smaller vessel. They had no
vigilance whatever, and no guard over our
vessels. Their vigilance was great where
their own vessels were concerned. their
boats coming and going all the time and
they generally refused to answer when we
hailed them. When they did reply 1t was
generally In an impudent manner"
In reply to a question Captain Sigsbee
thought II possible that the explosion could
have occurred without the knowledge OF
the higher officials. He said that 1t was
q curious fact that the officer Of the deck
said that the vessel had never swung be-
fore In the peculiar manner in which 1t
swung on the night Of the explosion and
continuing he said: 1.-The Maine is lying
now in about the position she would have
taken to play on the Spanish batteries. II
n mine could have been placed there. as
sumo it would have been planted that
way"
In reply to a question as to what exami-
nation the Spanish boards made OF the ac-
cident, Captain Sigsbee said they had not
done anything for a week; had not been
down at all. "Our people laughed at them.
They did very little work on the wreck;
II was absurd as compared with our work. :"
Captain Sigsbee said the keel plate was
driven up thirty feet from its normal place
by the explosion.
Asked why he had advised that no war
vessels be sent to Havana after the ex-
plosion, Captain Sigsbee replied:
I'm the first place there was a great deal
Of excitement and I wanted to work along
without men Of war and to allay the ex-
element in the city; and in the next place.
If there were any more mines I did not
want any more war vessels blown up. Up
to that time had strongly recommends ed
that the Indiana be sent there just to show
them that the Maine was not the only ves-
sci in the navy nor the most powerful. After
that time had no more confidence In the
people. Treachery had been shown me
and there was no special care for us; they
had not attempted to protect us as we did

CHICAGO BALL TOSSERS

CHICAGO, April 4.-There will be no
change in the ownership of the Chicago
baseball club just at present. Captain
A. c. Anson, after two months of earnes,
endeavor to raise the $150,OO0 necessary
to make good his option of the team, has

managers of the club, it will be impossi-

Anson says that three times he had

some mysterious reason, his hackers

Sigsbee's Testimony

Captain Sigsbee, in command OF the
Maine at the time of the disaster, was ex-
amined on the 3lst Of March. He repeated
his opinion that the Maine was destroyed
by mine, either temporary or permanent
He thought it had been very large mine,
but in his opinion 1t was larger than could
be planted near the vessel at any time ex-
cept in broad daylight and under SUPER
vision. He thought twelve men, having
mutual confidence and preserving secrecy
could have planted it, and that 1t could
have been done while the ordinary disci-
pline and watchfulness was observed on
the ship. A ship moored in the harbor
would swing around to a given point where
mine might be located and when it had

Robbers Convicted

SACRAMENTO, April H.-The jury In
the case of James Searight, alial Jimmy
Welch, charged with the robbery OF
Japanese here a few weeks ago, brought
in a verdict of guilty tonight. His pal,
Charles Walker, alias Leroy, was con-
victed yesterday. They not only robbed
the Jap, but beat him with an iron bar
until he was nearly dead. A week later
Leroy and Searight entered street CON-
missioner e. ]. Croly's house and, en-
countering him in hallway, fired two
shots into his breast. Croly is recovering.
For the robbery of the Jap they will
probably be sentenced for life, and that

been arrested in San Francisco for crimes
and Searight in Los Angeles. where he has
been known as Jimmy WEIGH.

That tribunal has done nothing particularly
outrageous in the last two years. The talk

Questions of far greater magnitude IMAM

and the people ara interested in thsm. Ihey
are seeking light on them. They are to be
called upon to pass on them The war with
Spain has widened everybodys horizon.
What about a larger navy? What about
the Nicaragua canal? What steps shall be
taken to insure a growing American trade
in the far east? What sort of terms shall
be imposed upon Spain for her criminal
folly in bringing on hostilities?
These questions completely dwarf the old
questions, and POLITICAL compasses must be
adjusted to than. Mr.. Bryan himself.
very alert man, is one of the first to see the
point. Mr.. Cleveland also has his flag up
again. Why, therefore, lay any stress on
the Chicago platform? Why make an ado

A Democrat ana an American.
From the Kansas City Star Und.).


Touching the annexation of Hawaii. the
democrats in the Senate would do well to
follow the example of Representative
Charles F. Cochran of the St. Joseph, Mo-,
district. The speech of this gentleman was
a magnificent exempliflcation of the differ
ence between colonization and conquest. He
squarely and fearlessly advocated annexa-
ton, on the ground that Hawaii through
her own action, was already colony OF
the United States, and that this govern
ment, under the circumstances, had no
moral right to decline her overtures.
Even to the casual observer, the differ
ence in the status of Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines Is easily discernible, the
first coming to US voluntarily, the two last
through conquest The Star believes that
both Hawaii and Porto Rico are necessary
to this country. that'the one should be an
nexed Immediately, and the other incorpor-
ated a part Of this country at the earliest
moment possible The problem of the Phil
ippines Is. one that must be considered both
from a moral and commercial standpoint.
There Is no immediate necessity for Its de-
cision. Let 1t be considered from a dis
passionate and non-partisan standpoint, and
we have no fear of the result.
In the meantime it is unfortunate there
are not more democrats in Congress OF
equal capacity with Charles. Fremont Coch-

Is not filibust ering. We do not know what
Senator White calls his action in regard
to the Newland5 resolutions, but most
people who are not employees Of the Sugar
Trust characterize the policy of the Senate
very extreme type. Mr.. Whites anger
was due to a protest by Senator Morgan
who said, among other things:
BY our delay in taking action we are
placing enormous burdens upon the Presi-
dent Such conduct Is absolutely inde-
feasible. By endea voring to consummate
political trick unworthy of the Senate,
we are failing of patriotic duty. When
you return to your constituents, to the
fathers whose sons are now in the Phil
ippine Islands, they will know Of this trick
and they will spurn you
Senator White should reflect that nine
out of ten people in California believe him
TO be mistaken in lis course of opposition
to the annexation of Hawaii. 1t should
give him cause for thought that the only
support he gets in California on this ques-
ton comes from the organ of the Sugar
Trust. His constituents do not impugn
his motives. There is even no objection
to the expression Of his opinions in a rea-
sonable and moderate way. but there is a
very strong and decided objection to his
I esort to the discreditable practice of fill
clustering which aims to accomplish by
iEdrection that which Cannot be done di-
rectly. If the charge made by Senator
Morgan were not true Mr.. White would
not be angry, but it is true and the whole
world knows it. That is why Mr. White
feels hurt.
But when Mr. White attacks the senator
from Alabama he should remember that
he is attacking one who has endeared him.
