The Chicago Grain Market.

Chicago. May 26.-The wheat market was
irregular, with the weakness so marked on
the curb last night still apparent today.
Prices at their lowest showed / 1-2 cent
under last nights close, and there was not
much rally. The liquidation of Thursday
was still effective. The pit seemed to have
more wheat than it could take care of
There was a persistent letting go by hold
ers who had missed yesterdays swell. The
weakness was not at all a matter of news.
Winter wheat situation unchanged. Con-
tinental markets showed advances reflect
ing less favorable crop news. Snow places
the estimate on the corn crop at 81, 000, 600
acres. which is 100000 above the record
breaking year of 1895.

The earnings of Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit for Thursday showed an increase OF
81, 100. The showing for the next three days
will be tremendous, ii is thought, and there
was some buying OF the stock yesterday
on the theory that this showing will have
an immediate influence on the price.

argument is true of all the companies all
over the country.

The increase in the gross earnings of
Atchison for the month of April was
SO, 200. The increase in the net earnings
was S34714S The earnings statement was
a surprise to the street and most agree
able one. The most optimistic bulls had
hardly expected such large increase in the
net, over a third of million. The long
talked of reductions in operating expenses
are being made most successfully. The
statement is particularly impressive when
taken in connection with that of year
ago and that of 1897. The figures for the
three years are here given:

1t is seen that April year ago was
most prosperous one, showing large in
crease in both gross and net earnings over
April, 1897, which makes this years record
of increase doubly important. The ratio
of operating expenses, however, is not in
any sense an abnormally small one. The
bears are likely to suggest that the road
is only making its good showing by cutting
too deeply into operating expenses. This
is not the fact. however. The management
is an economical one, making no needless
expenditure, and that is the whole story.
Such statement made by the one road
that has been picked out by the bears for
their chief attacks should be somewhat
Of knockout blow. London has continued
TO buy Atchison preferred since it touched
its lowest level and there now seems lit
tie doubt that London got in at the bottom.
There has been excellent buying on this
side also, however, though it has been of
an unobtrusive nature, and not made with
the intention of boosting the market. The
reception of the earnings statement yester-
day by the street with quick advance
of the stock seems to indicate that strong
upward movement 8 due in 1t.

miral Dewey has been notified of the
strange disappearance of J. C. Gilmore
and fourteen members of the crew of
the United States gunboat Yorktown
On Saturday last the Yorktown
anchored off Baler on the east coast
of the island of Luzon and about 200
miles from here, where was a Spanish
garrison of about fifty men, which had
been defending itself against several
hundred Filipinos for months past.
Lieutenant Gilmore. Ensign w H
Standley and boats crew were sent
up the river from. Baler Bay to com
municate with the Spaniards, the town
of Baler being situated some distance
inland. Ensign Standley, who landed
at the mouth of the river. reports that
he heard three volleys, a bugle call and
cheers from up the river, but that the
automatic gun which was part of the
equipment of the boat was not heard
firing. Standley later padded to the
Yorktown in a canoe. A search was
made for the Yorktown's boat and her
crew. but no trace of them was found
and the Yorktown sailed for Ioilo, from
which place her commander reported to
Dewey his theories that the Filipinos
had captured or sunk the boat or that
the Spaniards had rescued the Ameri-
can party
Brigadier General Charles King, who
has been taken suddenly i'll and who is
unable to continue in command of his
brigade, has been relieved of further
duty and has been ordered to return
to the United States on the first trans
port sailing from here for home.

WILL SEND
MESSAGES BY
THE X-RAY

NEW YORK, April ia Chicago
special to the Herald says: DR.. H. P
Pratt, a practical electrician and sci
enlist connected with the three local
medical colleges, as professor of cleo
tro-therapeutics has made a speciality
Of the X-ray machine and production
Of shadowgraphs and it is through x
rays, he declares, he has solved the
problem upon which Marconi and
Notre Dame professors are now at
work. He believes he has devised a
plan for both telegraphing and tele-
phoning without the use of wires. and
can reach New York by means of it.
My idea" he said TODAY, is to get
UP where the atmosphere is rarer and
clearer, say 1000 feet or more on top
of a metal tower. At the base of the
tower is a Ruhmkorff coil sending a
current Of from 1000 600 to 5000, 900
volts to a Crookes tube to be placed at
the apex of the tower. The tube would
be mounted on a pivot like a search
light so as to be turned in any direc-
ton.
Alongside the tower would stand
mast or pole Of equal height, capped
by a metal globe. A current of low
voltage would be sent up TINS pole ana
as the ligh voltage in which the cur
rent from the tower struck the globe
it would pick up and carry along the
weaker current The latter would be
governed by telegraph or telephone in
struments.
oAt the New York end of the route
would stand another 1000-foot mast or
pole surmounted by metal globe. and
as the X-ray current from Chicago
reached II pulsations could be recorded
by a telegraph sounder or heard by a
teIenhOne receiver"

ACTIVE HOSTiLITIES
WILL BE CONTINUED

NEW YORK, April 19.-The Herald's S
Washington correspondent sends the
following: Notwithstanding the pres
ence of the hot season and the immi-
nence of the rainy season in the Philip
pines there is to be no cessation of
active hostilities against the Filipinos.
This fact was developed at conference
to-day between the President, Secretary
Alger, Secretary Long and Adjutant
General Corbin. 1t was also again de-
cided not to issue a call for the $4,000
volunteers authorized by the army re-
organization law.
1t is the purpose of the administra-
ton to send to Manila almost as many
regular regiments as there are Yolun-
teers to be returned. There are fifteen
volunteer regiments, which, according
to General Otis, will return home, com
mencing on May 5. Six regular regi-
ments are now on their way to Manila.
With their departure only three in
fantry commands will remain in the
country available for service in the
East 1t is understood that if condi-
tions continue satisfactory in Cuba
couple of regiments of infantry will be
drawn from that island and the
Eleventh from Porto Rico. There is
talk of dispatching cavalry to General
Otis.
The following cable has just been re-
ceived from General Otis:
MANILA. April 19.-Adjutant General
Washington: Lawton returned from
Lake country the 18th inst, bringing cap
tured vessels. Insurgents much scat
tered; retreat before cur forces: await
opportunity to attack detachments. Bet
ter class of people tired of war; desire
peace The enemy build hope on return
of our volunteers to the United States.
It's army is much demOralized and loss
by desertion large. VIII probably prose-
cute guerrilla warfare, looting and burn
ing country which it occupied. Health
and spirits of the troops good. Volun-
teers' return will commence about May s.
viii render willing service until return
transports are available. Embarkation
will continue through June and July. Re
ports from Fisayan Islands continue
very encourag ging. Interisland commerce
heavy. Customs receipts increasing.

ORGANIZING
SOLDIERS IN
THE ISLANDS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April ia Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Secre-
tary Alger has cabled to Major Cen
erals Brooke and Henry TO report prog
ress in the matter of organization of
Cuban and Porto Rican battalions.
Official reports from General Henry
show that he began to organize Porto
Rican soldiery on March 81. Secretary
Alger told me he saw some of the men
finely set up and apparently very much
pleased at their enlistment in Uncle
Sans service. At the time the Secre-
tary was in Cuba he said General
Brooke had not commenced to organize
the Cuban battalion, and the Secre-
tary seems to be of the opinion that
Cubans make better police than Amer
lean soldiers.
General Otis has not taken advantage
of the authority granted to him to en-
list Filipinos, and it is presumed he
will not do so until the restoration of
peace and order in the islands.

Post, greeting such evidence Of Ger

land. but retain in their hearts a fdel-
ity which is of greater worth than as
surances of national sentiment on fes-
tai occasions but which fail when need

CLERGYMEN TO SELL
SERMONS AT AUCTION
Will Bid for the Privilege of Preach
ing to Georgia State Prison
ConVictS

ATLANTA. April 19-Under the new
convict system no provision has been
made for chaplains. Before the present
reforms were instituted it was the Gus
tom to pay SO per Sunday to ministers
for preaching sermons to convicts in
camps Now the Attorney General has
decided it is illegal for the State to make
the expenditure direct and the only man
ner in which the convicts can be supplied
with religion is to set aside money from
the revenue gained by their labors
It has been suggested that, to prevent
complaints Of parriality from the host of
country preachers who want to minister
to the State charges, an auction be held
and the lowest bidders be awarded the
privilege of delivering a sermon once a
week
Under the former system it cost the
State over $4,000 a year TO maintain chap
lains The Prison Commissioners look for
ward with interest to the contest and the
bidding is expected to be spirited

DEFENDERS OF BALER

BARCELONA. April 19.-El Diario
eulogizing the Spanish garrison-con
sisting of a captain, two lieutenants, a
doctor and forty-eight men-who had
been defending Baler against the Fill
pinos, says:
General Rios recently sent Captain
Olmedo to order the garrison to evacu-

Spain. Olmedo, after great difficulty
got within fifty metres of the house in
which the Spaniards were fortified. He
managed, however, to deliver his in
structions, but the garrison simply con-
tinued to fire from its fortified quar-
ters, and Captain Olmedo was COM
PEELED to return to Manila without a
reply
