BARRETT FARNUM CLOSE

Wealthy Chicago Board OF Trade Concern
on Wrong side of the Wheat Market.
CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The firm Of Bar
rett, Farnum g. Co., a wealthy and in
fuential board of trade concern here,
failed yesterday.
The firm had sold heavily short dur
ing the last three days, plunging in on
the expectation that the New York
stock panic would result in break in
wheat. The shortage of the firm is va
riously estimated at from 1000, 600 to
5000, 600 bushels Of the December op-
tion.
It was noticed that Barrett, Farnum
s. Go. were heavy buyers, the heaviest
in the local pit. The price held firm
with a strength that puzzled the theo.
rists, in view of the bearish tone of
news. Again this morning brokers rep
resenting the firm were busy on the
curb and in the pit, but all efforts proved
Of no avail. The crash came at IL
o'clock, when the deal went into the
clearing house.
Barrett, Farnum & Co., in hastily
scrawled notice, announced the inabil-
ity Of the firm to fulfill it's contracts.
Then the scene in the pit took ON the
tone Of panic.
The December option had opened at
71Ac to 7l7sc and the market slid
quietly off under sales against calls to
7l1ac. At this figure Barrett, Farnum
s. Co. renewed their efforts to cover.
The price jumped fractionally to 73c.
Then came the announcement of the
abrogation Of the firms contracts and
in the scramble to get out from under

even an effort at. recovery. Meanwhile

BLoEMFoNTE1N, Orange Free State,
Sept 22.-The volksraad met yesterday
with full attendance. President Steyn
read a carefully prepared speech. After
welcoming the burghers, he expressed
regret that the relations between the
Transvaaland Great Britain had become
strained. The members, he said, were
aware of the meeting of Sir Alfred Mil
ner and President Kruger. when Presi-
dent Kruger made proposals, which, al
though refused by the British high
commissioner, Were unanimously con-
sidered throughout the Orange Free
State to be exceedingly fair. Proceed
ing to review the negotiations President
Steyn said the Transvaal had been de-
coyed by the British diplomatic agent
at Pretoria, Conyngham Green, and he
practically accused the imperial gov
ernment of a breach of faith He said
he was disinclined to advise the Trans
vaal government to accept the latest
British demands. The present critical
state Of affairs could not be matter of
indifference to the Orange Free State,
which was bound by treaty to afford as
sistance to the Transvaal, and he there
fore convened the council to decide
what action should be taken.
There is nothing" declared the
president, 'sto warrant war or an attack
on the Transvaal. Such differences as
exist can be solved by arbitration. War
would be an insult to religion and civil

Situation Is Serious.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-While the precise
result of the secret session of the raad
Of the Orange Free State is not yet
known here, President Steyn's speech
at the opening is regarded as an almost
infallible indication Of the attitude of
which the free state will take. Com
menting from this point Of view the
London papers are all impressed with
the added gravity Of the situation and
murmufs GArs being heard regarding
the dilatoriAess Of the government in
getting troops forward. Military men
are said to be impatient. They assert
that everything is ready and that they
are only waiting for orders. ssIt is said
the attitude Of the Orange Free State
makes the original estimates too small,
evidently much larger force will be
needed. The government is faced with
something of a dilemma. The leader of
the oppositionl has publicly denounced
the precipitancy of the colonial Office in
forcing an issue. If SO large an expen-
diture as the apparent attitude of the
Orange Free State would involve should
become necessary, the government
would be obliged 20 summon parlia.
ment in order to get sufficient supplies.
1t is said the money question accounts
for the dribbling manner in which the
troops are being forwarded.

that arms continue to be served to the
burghers.

1t is stated that one morning recently q
young fellow who had just secured
clerkship In a government Office was con-
siderably startled by a little scene that
he witnessed An elderly man, one OF the
senior clerks in the room. suddenly rose
from his desk. dragged the comfortable
chair on which he had been sitting into the
middle of the room, seized poker. and. at
tacking the chair with great vigor sue
ceeded in breaking one of its legs. When
it was done the official gave a sigh of relief
and flung the chair into a corner of the
room The budding juniors first thought
was that his senior had suddenly taken
leave Of his senses, and he almost expected
that his colleagues would put him under
restraint. But to his astonishment the
other clerks hardly raised their eyes while
the work of destruction was in progress
Before the office work was over the new
conner sought information from one of his
fellow clerks.
"Can you tell me-" said he, why Mr..
Dash carried on in that extraordinary fash
ion? | mean, of course. when he broke a
perfectly sound leg off the chair in which
he had been sitting
| ''Oh. that was all right" replied the 9TH
er with a meaning laugh. "a caster had
come off one of the legs of that chair. and.
you know. my lords will not provide us
with new casters; they will attend to moth
| ing less than a broken leg. So Dash had
| to break one of the legs in order to get

AMERICANS TO TEACH
TEE TURKS FARMING
Sultan to Establish an Agri.
cultural College.
Modelled After Those of the United
States.
Practical Engineer and n Chemical
Professor to BE Employed
1T First.

The Sultan OF Turkey intends to intro
duce American methods of agriculture
throughout his dominions. and he now has
plan for establishing an agricultural col
iege at Constantinople, modelled after the
pattern of the colleges of the United States
and conducted by Americans.
Acting under instructions from the Sui
tan. Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish Minis
ter to this country, called upon Secretary
Wilson. of the Department of Agriculture,
yesterday and had long conference in re-
gard to the subject He expressed the
confidence of the Sultan in the ability of
American agriculturists and left the mat
ter of appointments entirely in the hands
Of Secretary Wilson.
Two Americans will be employed in the
beginning-one practical engineer who
thoroughly understands the manufacture OF
agricultural machinery. and the other a
professor. who will give courses in chem
istry treatment of the soils rotation OF
crops and the like to the young Turks
who expect to develop the great estates OF
that country. AS the college grows other
professors are to be engaged. and the in
stitution is TO be developed precisely along
the lines of the State agricultural colleges
in the United States.
In his conference with Secretary Will
son the Turkish Minister expressed the
wish OF the Sultan that the work should
| be initiated by Americans. The Secretary
replied that he had two men in mind,
who, he thought, would accept. and the
minister said that his government would
| rely absolutely upon the Secretary of Ag-
riculture and would accept any men he
might name. Particular interest is felt
| in the manufacture of farming implements
The machinery is all to be exported from
| this country to Constantnople. In the
| course OF time the Turks hope 10 learn
| how to manufacture agricultural imple-
ments. Special instruction in dairy farm
| ing is to be given later.
The request of the Sultan follows closely
! the appointment of Dr. Cabell Whitehead
| of the assay Office, as commissioner of IN
| ri
