TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Sept a.
WHEAT was rather, unsettled today.
The hot dry weather throughout the west
and the complaints of damage to coarse
grains had some effect on traders and re-
advanced prices about &c during the ear
" trading. The unsettled condition of the
Liverpool market due to the South Afri-
can situation also had some effect.
The constantly increasing receipts of
wheat in the northwest, however, brought
in selling orders from that section and
also influenced local traders, a Hquidat-
ing movement starting at the advance,
which carried prices slowly back.
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts
amounted to 740 cars against $50 year
ago. Chicago receipts were POS cars 10

SENSATIONAL DAY.
Continued from First Page.)

Gen. Billot praised Col Picquart for
his services in the army and declared
he had the greatest confidence in him
a confidence which, however, he had
since been compelled to withdraw
Then discussing PicquartS 1nVestlga-
ton of the suspicious against Major
IIsterhazy, Gen. BillOt said:
Even if Esterhazy should be proved
a traitor that would not prove DreytuS
innocent, for in cases of espionage it
very often occurs that there are sew
eral accomplices"
NJ. Labor wished to question M. Bill
lot and an alteration with Jouaust
followed.
Finally NJ. Labor cried: ALLOW me
to remark, Mr. President, that it has
never been said that Dreyfus had an
RccOmplice in Esterhazy-
DREYFUS PROTESTS.
Capt. Dreyfus who heard Gen. Bill
lots statement with evident excite
ment also sprang to his feet and
shouted:
Il protest against this odious accusa-
ton
NJ. Labor again insisted that he be
allowed to question Gen BillOt. Col.
Jouaust still refused and heated
wrangle once more ensued.
NJ. Labor made a passionate protest
against the attitude of Col. Jouaust.
who then said: Il decline to allow you
TO speak"
NJ. Labor retOrted excitedly: Il bow
to your ruling, but I take note that eV-
cry time I put a question which is ir-
resistible you refuse TO allow it."
This declaration counsel for defense
delivered in a ringing voice, punctuat-
ing his utterance with striking ges-
lures. The audience burst into loud
applause, and the greatest excitement
prevailed.
Col Jouaust said: IF this demon
stration is renewed I will have the
court room cleared. Have you anything
more to say NJ. Labori?"
NJ. Labor replied; No, because-and
I speak with the utmost respect am
prevented from putting any questions
touching the core Of the affair I re-
regard for my responsibility compels
me to take up
This scene was the climax of the
strained relations which have prevailed
between the president of the court
martial Col JOuaust and NJ Labor,
principal counsel, almost from the very
outset Of the trial NJ. Labor has
many times bitterly complained that
Col. JOuaust prevented him from put
ting probing questions and for the mo-
ment NJ Labor abstained from asking
witness such questions fearing that by
so doing he might do more harm than
good to his client.
NJ. Labor was extremely excited
and hardly able to contain himself with
Indignation. When afterwards asked
me had any questions to put to other
witnesses he replied; NO; nothing at
all"
Major GalIopin, an officer of the artil-
Iery was then examined. He proved

NO BUBBLE CoMPAN1Es
Zinc Trust Can Not Enter Kansas
Surreptitiously.

The New York zinc trust will not
break into the Kansas field until the
promoters of the company put up S139,
900 in capital stock. The capital stock
of the company is $780, 900, with 81 900
paid up The Kansas law requires that
20 per cent of the capital stock be paid
up before a company or corporation can
secure a charter to do business in this
state.
There is a suspicion that this Della
ware corporation is a lust and that
the promoters have designs on the in
dependent business of this character in
Kansas The members CT the charter
board are therefore wary of it and the
organization will experience difficulty
in securing charter even if the $139,
600 is raised.

FOREIGNERS sQUIRM.
They Do Not Like to Comply With
Bush Law

Some of the foreign corporations do
ing business in Kansas through the
agency of travelling men have raised
the question as to the power of the
state to compel them to make reports
to the secretary of state showing the
amount of business transacted during
the year and whether it was done at a
profit or a loss.
These reports are requested from
these corporations in conformity with
the Bush corporation law. The Kansas
corporations have been reporting
promptly but some Of the foreigners
desire to evade filing reports which
would show the immense profits which
have been a part of the preceding
years business.
The question raised by these corpor-
ations has not been decided by the at
tOrney general.
