lication I'm Yesterdays Times.
The exclusive publication in yester-
days Times that a movement was on
foot looking to the consolidation OF the
two electric street railways in this city
was widely discussed yesterday. For
some time past there have been indlca-
lions that something of the kind was
contemplated. and 1t was yesterday adj

with the inside facts that negotiations
had progressed to some extent in that
direction, though what progress had been
made ne could not say.

New York. March, Joseph PERL
man, wholesale tobacconist, arrived
from Havana on the steamship Yu-
muri today. He said:
"I am sure that the officers of the
Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII, which
was anchored not far distant from
the Maine, knew that the Maine was
to be blown up.
ga prominent customs agent, a
friend of mine for years, whom /
know to be truthful, told me that a
Spanish naval officer, second in COM
mand of The Alfonso XII, admitted
to him that the Alfonso XII had her
small boats made ready for launch
ing twelve minutes before the explo-
sion occurred. The naval officer said
that the reason for making this pre-
paration was that it was feared on
board the Alfonso XII that the ex-
plosion under water might injure
their own vessel. The same officer
told my friend that the great up
heaval made by the submarine explo-
sion had tossed the Alfonso XII about
in an alarming manner. and that
care was taken not to launch the
small boats until the water had sub
sided, for fear they might be
swamped.

A proposition is about to be closed
between the Santa Fe and the people

Work on securing the right of way

Washington, March 1.-The United
States Supreme Court today decided
that United States Official
could not take advantage of his office
to secure advantage over others in
the location of government land. The
opinion was rendered by Justice
White. 1t was given in the case of
Ransom Payne, who was g Deputy
United States Marshal of Oklahoma,
and on the ground that when the
lands OF that Territory were thrown
open to settlement, he took advan-
tage of the opportunity to locate q
tract Of land The Secretary of the
Interior refused to issue a patent,
holding that Mr.. Payne could not
with propriety take advantage of his
official position to make a location
and that, therefor, his location was
Illegally made.

at Minneapolis Of 500, 900 bushels to

1, 900 900 bushels and has rather
alarmed shorts in that market which
advanced rapidly. The orders filled
for Letter wheat movement b. care
amounts to over 1900, 900. Kansas
City reports better demand at 1ic
premium for cash wheat. The So
called clique were buyers of March
and May here today, and large buy
ing of May in New York was attri-
buted to them. There has been
more talk perhaps brought about by
this buying that May wheat is liable
to have another runaway, and the
tip was out that it would sell 81 IL
this week. However, they are taking
current offerings of cash at May
p ices. We think II not at all
unlikely a short scare in the May
option may result at any time and
would hardly suggest selling this
option short.
Corn strong at opening. II was

Guessing Contest Closed.

The ARDMoREITE'S guessing
contest is at an end. The varl-
ous yards in the city were visit
ed Tuesday morning and the
actual wagon receipts to the
close of the month of February
obtained. The result shows
that from wagons alone to this
date there have been received
4S,413 BALES.
This number of bales is distrib-
uted over the yards as follows:
At the compress yard, Tom
Cheney, weigher, certifies TO
IL. .285 bales.
At the Farmers wagon yard,
r. G. Mattox, the manager, GER
titles to 1861 bales.
At the Alliance yard, John l..
Gait, weigher, certifies to 15,-
101 bales.
G. D. Workman ceItifies that
336 bales were received at the
compress direct from the gins
without passing through the
weighers' hands.
Which makes the total wagon
receipts 48,413 bales.
The publisher of the ARD
MoREITE then chose Messrs. T..
N. Coleman, Joe +. Robson
and Thomas Norman as a COM
mittee to investigate the guess
es and award the prizes. None
of these gentlemen had any in
terest in the contest, and their
work was done exactly in ac-
cordance with the published
rules. The committees report
is as follows:
EDITOR ARDMoRETTE.-We the
committee appointed to count and
compare the guesses, do after a care
full consideration of them find that
Y. Patterson whose postoffice address
is Ardmore, guessed 1876, and we
award him first prize. That w. G.
Hoover, whose postoffice address is
Reagan, guessed 4s5OO and we award
him second prize. That II N. Cross
man whose post office address is
Ardmore guessed 4s5OO also, but
his guess was made later than that
of w. c.. Hoover. and to him we
award the third prize. The number
of bales received at Ardmore from
wagons up to March 1st 1898 was
