GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Opened Weak, But Closed at
an Advance.

Chicago. March 9.-The prospect for any
Improvement in the value of wheat looked
very bad at the commencement. The only
food for the bulls was the Michigan state
crop report, which said that four-fifths
OF the correspondents declared wheat had
been seriously damaged by cold. On the
other hand. Liverpool cables came 1z45sd
lower, California had received a sprini{l1ng,
of rain and Russia officially reported last
seasons winter crop II per cent larger
than q year age, with spring crops bet
ter by IA per cent. The Price Current was
rather bearish. May wheat opened I'M
changed at 70A@70Ss. and on liquidation
got down to 7O1s. At this point, however,
the crop news received from country
correspondents of commission houses be-
came worse and more positive about the
injury done than has previously been the
case. California dispatches said the rain
had been inadequate and that the cOndi-
ton of the winter wheat was still very
poor.

last hour. California sent further dry
weather dispatches and frost damage re-
ports were as numerous as the war time
complaints about canned roast beef. The
heavy purchases for expert also stinu-
lated the demand. May closed at 712s, an

That members of parliament should
be allowed to wear their hats in the
house has often surprised foreign Wis
itors to the historic chamber.
1t is lucky for great many members
that the rules of debate, while demand
ing the wearing of hat, make 10 pro-
visions as to the character the headgear
shall take. The obvious result is that
the variety Of parliamentary hats is
wonderful and vast.
But it is not so much the character
of parliamentary hats as the manner
in which they are worn that is OF in.

ing feats are performed with hats dur

A. ]. Balfour and the Duke of Devon
shire can balance their hats in the
bridge of their noses as if they had
been weaned practicing the feat. The
Duke of Devonshire is especially clever
in this way, and it is very difficult to
say whether he is not dozing peacefully
behind the ample brim tilted over his
nose.
1t has been said that the leader of the
house of commons deliberately sets a
trap for his adversaries by pretending
to Sleep in the shadow of his hat biim,
so they may fall into error and he can
pounce upon them.
Another wonderful trick is that per-

the front brim OF his hat upon the

men could accomplish the task. 1t is

MERCER AND DREYFuS.

Former War Minister Reiterntes His
Belief I'm the Captains Guilt,
Paris, June ia dispatch from the
Cape Verde islands announces that the
French second class cruiser Sfax, car
rying Captain Dreyfus, has passed, en-
route for Brest, where she is expected
before Saturday next II Is understood
that Captain Dreyfus will be landed by
night, and that a special train will be
in waiting to take him to Rennes,
where the court martial is to be held.
General Mercier, who was minister
of war when Captain Dreyfus was con-
demned, spoke publicly for the first
time since the court of cessation rem
dered its decision at a meeting of tho
French Patriotic League yesterday,
where he was greeted with loud ap-
plause.
Your acclamations," said General
Mercier, "are addressed only in a small
part to the soldier who did his duty
in 1894 and is firmly resolved to ac-
complish 1t in 1899. They are chiefly
addressed to our dear army, of which,
at this critical moment, you do me the
honor of regarding as the standard
bearer"
He then proceeded to declare his alb
solute conviction of the guilt of Cap
tain Dreyfus, and his belief that the
Rennes court martial would fearlessly
ascertain the truth and do its duty.
"As for myself" he declared, II shall
tell everything l know"

Eermany's Emperor Probably Pos

LOOKS BR1GHTFoR ARBITRATION

should the Emperor Refuse Any Sort
of a Tribunal the Conference May
Go on without Him-He WIN Prob

London, June 19.-The correspondent
OF The Times at The Hague, who
thinks the outlook for the peace con-
ference promising. says: Emperor
William is a born dramatist. He does
not like to see such an important event
as the peace conference pass by with
out impressing his own stamp on it,
and, most likely, when Dr. Zorn re-
turns all will go we'll"
The correspondent of The Daily
News at The Hague says: "Dr. Zorn,
whom Emperor William summoned
on Friday by special messenger, ar
rived I'm Berlin Saturday morning, ac.
eompanied by Mr.. Hollis, OF the Uni
ted States delegation. They only had
time for breakfast and at 10 o'clock
were driven to the imperial palace.
where instant admission was granted
them by the kaiser himself, who was
waiting for them. They had further
audience of his majesty yesterday and
left Berlin on their return to The
Hague last evening.
"They were appointed joint mes
sengers of the conference because they
had become intimate friends since they
met here. DR.. Zorn speaks very little
English, but Mr.. Hollis speaks Ger
man perfectly.
"If Emperor William refuses any
sort of a tribunal the conference will
probably go on without him, but his
openly hostile attitude would arouse
protests in Germany, and Mr.. Hollis
has probably taken the liberty OF
pointing out the deplorable effect this
would have in the civilized world. The
emperor is amenable to the religious
argument, and perhaps this will be the
lever that will move him. At any rate,
If the worst comes to the worst the
conference will invite him to sign the
convention. with a reservation about
the tribunal, pledging himself only to
use the peace conference procedure
in an eventual arbitration"

the First National, Of Mahanoy City; go 600
by the Union National, Of Mahauoy City,
