CRY OF DOLLAR WHEAT
Is Again Heard in the Pit at
Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-"Dollar wheat was
the cry of bulls in the wheat pit today.
May went up 27sc a bushel and at cents
over the quotations of week ago dealings
ran into the millions before the close of
the session, when May sold al TIC. The
primary reason assigned for the bull
movement is the rise of securities in Wall
street In proof of this, Wall street
houses led the local market in the buying
through their agents here.
nerS, cent rise is not unusual, nor does
it call for much comment. But at this
season of the year and with market that
has been limited in fiuctua ton, it was re-
garded as broadly significant by the
crowd. Excitement reigned throughout
the session.

sample This one is dated May 81 1898,
and is signed H. c. Barnet. This letter
has also been forwarded to the police of

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8.-Secretary Long re-
Gently appointed board to consider the uues-
ton OF the advisabilty OF taking the Naval
Observatory out OF the jurisdiction OF the Navy
Department and max ing it separate national
Astronomical institution.
The board. which consisted OF Senator
Chandler, Representative Dayton Of West vir-
gina. Prof. Pickering OF Harvard. Prof
Comstock OF Wisconsin University and Prof
Hale OF the Observatory OF the University OF
Chicago. to-day submitted its report. The
board says:
The Naval Observatory. which was origin
ally established as u scientific bureau auxiliary
to the needs Of the naval service, has become
through half a century OF growth and through
the expenditure of large sums OF money,
as authorized by law. an nstronomlc al
observatory OF tho first rank in respect OF
buildings. Instruments and equipment But
BY far the larger and more valuable part OF it's
equipment has little or no reference to any
direct requirement Of the naval service. and
it's existence can lie justified only on
the ground that Congress has intended
to establish and maintain national
astronomical observatory Under these
changed circumstances its continued
connection with the Navy Department
has seemed to many OF those whose views
have been submitted to the Board OF
Visitors illogical and undesirable In

OF Bath. Chairman OF the Democratic State
Committee. was instructed to call m Getting OF
the Democratic State Committee at the Hoff-
man House next Wednesday evening,
without doubt. It was said. the forthcoming

question last night. Mr.. Campbell 10 Chair

Hon. Patrick Henry McCnrren Is Chair

Committee. Mr. MoCarren and Mr.. Campbell
are warm personal friends. Mr.. Campbell is
considered to be frst-rate cam paiRn mana
ger In certain contingencies. Mr.. hcCarren Is
regarded as somewhat more forcible person
than Mr.. Campbell. and the gossip at the Hoff-
man House last night was to the effect that
possibly Mr.. McCtrren would have charge OF
tho forthcoming campaign.
II must not be understood that this matter
has been settled entirely for the reason that
every regard. 1t was added. should be paid to
Mr.. Campbell and to his Democratic friends
Whatever Is done. II was added, will be for the
purpose OF uniting the Democratic forces in
an effort to capture tho lower house at Albany
and meantime it may be said that tho Demo-
crats have collected fund OF $4,000 with
which to open Democratic State headquarters
in the Hoffman House. Twenty-fou hours
ago this fund amounted to only 81 400.
Almost every political infant is aware OF the
lifelong ambition OF Gen. Nelson A. Miies to
become President Of the U nited States. Some
| OF his friends at the Hoffman House last night
were almost outspoken In saying that Chair
man James X. Jones OF the Demo-
| cratic National Committee and other
| influential Democrats had offered In
written letters to Gen. Miles the
nominal for President at the next Demo-
| cratic National Convention. The friends OF
| Gen. Miles. who told this story. were very sim
csre In their utterances. and yet It was recalled
| that Gen. Miles. In 1884. 1883. 1892 aud 1895.
| had a lingering hope that the nomination
| would come his way.
The report that Chairman Jones OF the

Democratic Presidential nomination to Gen.
Miles was repeated to ex-senator Murphy. Jr.,

STUFF and nonsense. Mr.. Jones is heart
