JOE LETTERS WHEAT DEAL.
Final Arrangements for Closing the Same

Final Arrangements for Closing the Same
Not as Big as Reported.
Chicago, June Heterogeneous were
completed yesterday whereby the loan
cash wheat which brought the Letter
grain deal to a sudden termination Mon
day is practically transferred to Ar
mour & Co. The plan was formed by
the banks which have loaned money to
Letter on his grain. Armour & Co. are
to take up the deal where Letter
dropped it, and by acting as agents for
the pool banks carry out Letters plans
for merchandising his grain. Armour
does not assume the ownership of the
grain in any sense, but will simply place
the machinery of his business at the
disposal of the banks interested and 1t
is believed that all claims will be
liquidated, after which equity will be
established between Letter and Armour.
The deals Importance has dwindled
considerably, owing to the fact that
Letters cash holdings are now stated
to have been only trifie over 100000
bushels. Letters holdings in July and
September futures have. it is under
stood, been liquidated. This line
amounted to considerably over 10000
900 bushels. No reliable estimates can
be placed upon Joseph Letters losses.
It is not generally thought, however,
that they will exceed $1.000,000.

HOW MONKEYS ARE CAUGHT
One of the Peculiar Methods Adopted
by the Natives.


In capturing monkeys it is said that
their curiosity is the thing that makes
them an easy prey. Nearly all of the
monkeys that we see in this country
come from Gornoma, a little village
situated short distance from the Pan
anna railroad. The inhabitants of this
district are mostly native negroes, fol
few white men could bear the climate.
The whole region is marshy, and COW
cred with tropical vegetation. At night
there arises a thick vapor, laden with
fever, which hangs over the woods like
a cloud. This region of woods is the
paradise Of monkeys. They travel in
troops, led by an older monkey. When
the people receive information that the
the village they go to the woods in
crowds to chase them. Their plan is
very simple. They cut a hole in a
cocoanut large enough for a monkeys
paw to enter. The nut is then hol-
ivwcu Jul anu piece oI sugar rs pIac-
ed in 1t. A piece Of string is then fas-
tened to 1t, and 1t is placed in the road
of the approaching monkeys. 1t is well
known that monkeys are very inquisi-
tive. When they see the cocoanut in
the grass they hurry to examine it. 1t
does not take them long to find out
that the inner part contains a piece
or sugar. One of the boldest and greed
lest sticks paw into the nut to get
the sugar, and grasps it as tightly as
he can. But his fist is so large that
he cannot draw it out of the hole again,
with the sugar, to which he holds fast,
cost what 1t may. The natives now
pull the string until nut and monkey
arrive in the vicinity Of their ambus-
cade. In the meantime the other mon
keys wonder what is the matter with
their comrade. They hurry to see
where he Is being pulled to, with his
paw in the cocoanut. They crowd
around him, chattering and gesticulat-
Ing, and the natives, who have large
net ready, cast 1t over them, and be-
fore they know 1t all are prisoners
They are sold to the employees of the
Panama railroad, and reach North
American markets through commercial
dealers. P. w. H.

er Rules 1t Out.
Chicago, June 13.-Eugene v. Debs
and thirty-one of his followers have
withdrawn from the Social Democracy
Of America They have formed a new
organization called the Social Demo-
cratic Party Of America" The split
was caused by the dispute over political
action. Debs and his faction favored
making political party Of the organi-
cation, abandoning the plan for coloni-
zation of some state. The other faction
favored purchase Of land to form a So
cialistic colony.
After a discussion lasting twelve
hours, the colonization faction in the reg
ular convention in Ulich's hall won out
at $3.50 o'clock Sunday morning by a
vote Of 81 to SO. The minority imme-
diately withdrew to Parlor A, of the
Revere House, and adopted a platform
in sympathy with it's ideas.
Jesse Cox is temporary chairman Of
the new party; William Maille, secre-
tary, and the executive committee is
headed by Eugene v. Debs. National
headquarters will be established some-
where outside of Chicago. The platform
of the new party declares for the vigor-
Gus use of the ballot remedy for all Ia
Dor evils; public ownership Of all mo-
nopolies-railroads, telegraph lines,
mines; introduction Of the initiative and
referendum; abolition Of war; women's
rights; naturalization of farm mort
cages; improvement of farm land by
the use of the national credit, and uni

SIX MEN DROWNED.

Aurora, Mo-, June 15.-An accident in

to a log of the raft until rescued. The

FLowER-vIEwINo IN JAPAN.
A National Custom to MAX. Family =,

a National Custom to Make Family Ex-
cursions I'm Blossom Time.
1t Is one OF the national customs In
japan to go out on excursions, in par
ties OF two or three families, to view
the towering trees and plants In their
season. The Japanese love all fiow-
ers, but prefer those to which they
look up-the flowers Of trees. They
visit the plum blossoms In February
or early March; the cherry, especially
beloved, in April; the lotus in July:
azaleas during the summer; chrysan-
themums in the autumn, and camellias
In December. In the pleasure grounds
connected with every temple there are
always magnificent collections of fiow-
ers. An expedition especially to see
the flowers Is called hanami, or fiow-
er view. The bank of the Sumida riv-
or, which crosses the city of Toxic,
Is covered with cherry trees. These
give pleasant shade, and the spot Is
q favorite promenade for the citizens
all the year round, but in time Of
cherry bloom" the crowds that throng
the avenue are larger than ever. 1t is
crowded on moonlight nights, and also
when the snow lies freshly fallen. Be-
Ing fully alive to the beauty of their
country, wherever there Is a point
from which picturesque view may
be obtained, the Japanese will build
pavilion, or tea house, or some
similar place of repose, from which the
eyes may feast on the lovely land
scape. In the family picnics or ex-
cursions, which are frequent, some
place OF beautiful situation from which
there Is good view either of land
or sea, Is always selected. These ex-
petitions are not discontinued even
when the cold of winter comes. Snow
scenes are greatly enjoyed, and when
the freshly-fallen snow is lying on the
ground, numerous parties are seen at
points commanding a fine view. The
children are never excluded, but ac-
company their elders on all such oc-
casions.-St. Nicholas.

A four-story annex to the Buell. Of

Episcopal church was burned and the
crowd watched the cross at it's apex
momentarily expecting to see 1t break
off and fall. Two firemen were so bad
ly burned that they were taken to the
hospital. Another fireman was severe
ly injured by a falling wall. Several
incipient blazes started in the Wayne
County bank building and other office
structures in the vicinity and numerous
aN nings and other infiammable mate
rials were consumed. Several little
fires caught in the eleven-story Union
Trust building, which was directly to
leeward of the burning power building,
but further serious spread of flames
was checked. An old two-story wooden
structure west Of the Case building was
crushed by a portion Of the tottering
wall falling upon 1t. The front walls
Of The Case building leaned outward
menacingly and finely fell in the street,
portions at a time. Nothing in the
Case building was saved.
The Case building was valued at $780,

contents are roughly estimated at
