To the Editor of The News
Dear Sir: On Sunday evening, March
3, the Robert Emmet Literary association
of Olneyville held a largely attended
meeting In celebration of Robert Emmett
anniversary. Naturally, the speakers
talked on the Boer war. and they were
not backward in dcnounciHg England as
engaged in an unjust war. Not only SO.
but resolut tons WerC adopted denouncing
those who IN any manner give aid
encouragement TO England i'm connection
with her troubles in South Africa. Being
naturaiized American citizen, OF Eng
lish birth. 1 have given my support 10
the English cause, being convinced that
she is In the right OF course, am de-
nounced along with all the rest of pa
triotic British. Among the gentlemen
on the platform was MIR. w. A. III. Grant,
who is on the Republican ticket for ninth
representative. and l fail TO see how.
after having helped to denounce all who
have helped England In any way In the
Boer war. he can come forward and ask
them 10 vote for him.
A man who denounces me cannot have
my vote next Wednesday. and I trust
all citizens OF British birth or parentage
will look at the matter as / do.
Respectfully.
A PRO-BRITISH CITIZEN.

BOTH RIDER AND DIPLOMAT.

The hero of the day Field Marshal
Lord Roberts, used to have a place be-
tween Kngbury and Edgware amid
some OF the prettiest and most rural
OF surroundings. He has always been
a fine horseman. AS Rudyard Kipling
says, IF IL kicks. or bucks, or rears,
II could sit for twenty years. with n
smile round both lis, ears" Twenty
years would be rather a long lease Of
the pigskin but Lord Roberts loves rid
ing for it's own sake, says the London
Telegraph. When living near Edg-
ware. IL was often practice of his TO
go with his two daughters into the
school for hunters OF "A gentleman liv-
ing out i'm that direction. and all three
would have n regular Jumping match.
They were always well mounted, and
appeared To enjoy themselves inn
mensely.
Lord Roberts has "A diplomatlst's
memory as well as "a soldiers dash and
skill. While inspecting "A regiment In
ireland not long ago he sat at lunch
con beside the wife of one OF the ma
iors. Noticing that an officer opposite
smiled fam'llarlv az her he asked ~ n
WAS her husband ON being answered
I'm the Affirmative. the field marshal
said: Il know his face. where was he
with me?" "ln the African campaign
answered the gratifed wife. Later
Lord Roberts had long chat with the
officer in question. and finished IL up
with. "You came out of IL for some
thing good" looking quite approvingIy
IN the direction OF the handsome wife.
II may be said that Lord Roberts
brought that couple most neatly under
his personal influence. and with all sin
cerity.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
wheat Makes Large Net Gain Over
Saturdays Prices.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Wheat was very
strong today, advancing Lie from Sat-
urday and closed at rs 3-4G7s Use for
July, making a net gain of 3 5-Sc. Reiter-
alton of damage to spring wheat crop and
an estimate by prominent expert placing
the total yield of winter and spring wheat
at about 500, 000,0 900 bushels was the fac
tor The trade today was immense. The
public has become interested and is leading
the local professionals in the buying. While
foreign markets are steady, their tone
is very apathetic, Liverpool being up only
7-Sd, Paris lac lower. There is no cash
business being done. The seaboard re-
ports thirty-iye loads taken. The mar
ket has now had a accent advance from
the low price.
Corn closed 1-2c over Saturday and at
one time was 3-4c over. 1t has been sub
ordinate to the wheat. but there has been
some broadening of the trade. Country
offerings have been moderate. There has
been a capital shipping demand. Business
has not been very large here, possibly
$50, 00G bushels. but the lake freight sit
uation is an embarrassment just now.
Local shipments of corn fer the forty
eight hours were almost 100000. Gables
were barely steady.
Outside interest in oats has increased
some of late. Prices were 1-s@1-4 over
Saturday Crop advices from some parts
of the Northwest are bad. From the West
and Southwest they are good. Generally
shippers report the cash demand draggy
today.
