THE WHEAT PIT SURPRISED.
Letter Sells 100000 Bushels Cash
Wheat-Panic SIumD Predicted

Chicago, March 12.-Joseph Letter treat
ed the wheat pit to two big surprises to-
day. The first was when, through his
agents on the board. he called upon the
board of directors to fix marginal
value on May wheat, thus it is reported,
forestaliing the action about to be taken
by that body
1t has been contended for some time
that Letters nanipulations were forcing
wheat to about $LO5. when its actual
value for freighting purposes was only
80 cents, and that under the rules of the
board Letter should put up cash for the
ten cents difference on every busheL The
matter will be passed on at the earliest
moment.
The second surprise came with the an
nouncement that Letter had sold ., 600 900
bushels Of cash wheat TO Counselman &
Day, at a figure supposed TO be nearly
S1.02- This is the first official announce
ment of the sale of wheat made by
Letter either at home or abroad, commen-
surate with his holdings

ton of this move until after the close was

market is on the bear side. II is said
that Letter will remain in the market
only a short time. Ii is his intention 10

LAW STUDENTS DEBATE.
Municipal Ownership Of Light and

The lecture hall of Columbian Univer-
sity was crowded last night by many of
the friends Of the Columbian Law School
Debating Society, who were anxious to
hear the -parliamentarians discuss
the question of municipal ownership of
light, water and street railway plants.
The question for debate was "Resolv-
ed, That municipalities in the United
States should have exclusive ownership
and control Of plants for supplying light
and water and street railway transporta-
ton. The debaters in the affirmative
We're Messrs. ". II. Powell, of Georgia /;
J. T. Harris, of Missouri, and l.. r.
Greist, OF Indiana, and in the negative
Messrs. Z. /. Davis, OF Tennessee; J. H.
Milans, Of Pennsylvania, and w L. Jolly,
of Ohio
The debate was a spirited one, notwith-
standing the prosaic nature of the sub
ject under discussion, and on several oc-
casions the speakers waXed eloquent over
the dangers Of monopoly and municipal
corruption. The negative seemed to pre-
sent the better argument. and the judges
Hon. J.. NJ. Sparkman, Hon. Adolph
Meyer and Judge r. L. Doans-gave them
the decision.

MARK HANNA IN NEW YOlx
Goes Quietly to the Metropolis to
Consult With Financiers


It was learned last night that Senator
Mark A. Hanna was rebuffed by the
President when, on Friday night, he at
tempted again to dictate peace-at-any-
price policy to the latter, regardless of
the wishes of the American people and
the attitude of the American Congress.
The President is fully aware that Con-
gress and the American. people generally
are beginning to suspect that dollars and
cents have done more to delay the recog-
milton of Cuba than any real desire TO
give to Spain an opportunity to prove
that autonomy is success.
On Friday night Senator Hanna an
nounced that he intended to leave town on
Sunday in order to obtain some much
needed rest. He did not say, however,
that he was going TO New York to meet
at the Waldorf-Astoria the men who are
most interested in the bond swindle. Mel
Their did he say that he was going incog,
nor that arrangements had been made to
prove that he was at d resort near Wash
ington all day today.
That Senator Hanna went to New York
last night is not denied by his closest
friends. That he is or is not registered at
the Waldorf-Astoria cannot be proved.
A dispatch from a source that is consid-
cred thoroughly reliable announced at
| late hour that the coal baron senator
from Ohio had arrived in New York, and
that representatives of the Morgans,
Goulds, Seigmans and others interested
in the bond deal We're closeted with him
at the hotel mentioned.
| These money kings learned from the
| lips Of the man who is popularity supposed
to control the present Administration
| that war is inevitable, and that the only
| chance for the bondholders is to push the
project which was outlined in The Times
! yesterday morning
This project is to have Spain, after she
| is whipped fairly, apply to a congress of
| nations for redress against America.
That this policy, too, will fail is believed
to be certain by those who are familiar
with the American Congress.
AS a last resort before giving up the
| hope of being able to work the bond deal
! through, Mr.. Hanna tried to induce the
| President to refrain from taking radical
action on the Maine disaster or in regard
to Cuba until next Fall This could be
done, it was urged. on one preteXt or an
| other. and the next Congress, by lib
| eral use of money, might be induced to
! take a more favorable view of the 'pur-
! chase plan"
| Mr.. Mckinley, however, realized two
| things. He knew that the American peo-
pie could not be induced to wait till Fall
| for the promised action on either or both
! propositions, and he also knew that if he
| delay until that time he would be accused
| of endeayoring to influence the Congress
sional elections. For these reasons Mr..
Hanna was informed that his interfer-
ence in the crisis was no longer desired.

A month has elapsed since the blowing

the harbor of Havana 1t is still said Of
ficially by the Administration that war

judging the sincerity of this is by the
war preparations. An account most IL
luminative of the situation is published
in The Times of yesterday afternoon. An
other on the naval preparations is else
where III this issue. The fact is that
everywhere extraordinary war measures
are on foot. Another perhaps equally
instructive insight into the situation may
be had in the attitude of the stock mar

next question for the spectators of the

will happen when the war is an actual
fact, in the very near future. Some Peo-
pie profess to believe that this decline
has already discounted the war. The
idea is foolish. and probably it is not held
in earnest by anyone with money enough
to speculate. Prices are now only APP
