BUY WHEAT IS THE CRY
IMMENSE PROFITS MADE IN THE
RECENT BULGE.

CHICAGO, June 23-July wheat was
quoted at 661z cents on the Board of Trade
during the session of June 4. AT the
close today the came option was selling
at S8c. This was as cents above the clos
ing price of yesterday. No such advance
has been scored since the attempted cor
ner engineered by Joseph Leitner.
In the advance OF 2l1A cents during the
past nineteen days there have been no
evidences of manipulation, contrary TO
the speculative proverb that THE mar
ket only advances on manipulation its
natural course is downward
1t has been the most remarkable rise
In the history of the exchange. "Pyra-
niders" have had everything their own
way, because there has been scarcely
setback since the market crossed 70 cents.
Nc failures have resulted. There was
an extraordinary small short interest at
the beginning Of the advance, and this
was hastily covered. Foreigners had
hedged against considerable cash stuff in
this market, but OF course this kind Of
shortage entailed no financial loss.
Stories Of big winnings are thick about
the exchange, and no such wave of pros
perity has visited the commission men in
a decade.
Causes for this advance in the price of
the 'staff Of life" are found in the parch-
ed spring wheat fields of the great North
west, where authorities declare not one-
third of the crop of former years can be
harvested. A bumper winter wheat crop
has already been secured, outside Of the
states OF Ohio Indiana and Michigan.
For the satisfaction of those who may be
in fear Of starvation it may also be stated
that the visible supply of wheat in the
public gIanaries of the United States ex-
ceeds IS, ,0000 600 bushels
These are the grains of comfort left
to the bears who also have the assurance
that every month in the year records q
wheat harvest in some country Of the
globe Put at present a sort OF bull
fever" is running high and the Chicago
wheat pit is flooded by telegraphic orders
from every part of the world to buy,
buy buy, buy"

no MOTIVE FOR THU DEED
LEFT A NOTE WHICH THROWS
NO LIGHT ON THE
TRAGEDY
WAS AWAY ON VACATION
Was Around New Prague All Week
TIL Saturday Morning,
When He Disap-
peaFeG.

Maj. Charles NJ. Schaeffer, deputy audi
tor Of Hennepin county committed sui
eide at New Prague yesterday afternoon.
On the body was found this note:
IF anybody asks you why I did this,
you can truthfully say 1 don't know"
NO MOTIVE KNOWN.
No motive can be surmised for the deed.
About two wee+<s ago Maj schaeffer
went on a vacation with several friends
to Osahs lake. He returned to New
Prague a few days ago, apparently In
good spirits, and was seen about the VII
lage during the week. Yesterday morn
Ing he disappeared and his body was dis
covered by a little girl in the cemetery at
New Prague.
The revolver with which he had shot
himself was found beside him
The only paper found upon the body
beside the note above was an EIks' lodge
receipt for dues. The Minneapolis Elks
will give the remains fitting burial
Mai. C.. NJ. Schaeffer was born in Penn
sylvania in 1858. In early manhood he OBJ
tained a cadetship at West Point and
served in the regular army in the cam
paigns with Miles in the Southwest until
he won the spurs of a captain in actual
service. He then resigned his commits
sion, and, coming to Minneapolis, engaged
IN the abstracting business, then quite d
lucrative field
At the outbreak of the war with Spain
Mai. schaefter was commissioned by Gov.
Clough as a major In the Fourteenth vol
unteer infantry and went South with his
command The regiment did not get to
the front, but it was an excellentIy disci-
pllned commaRd and lts officers, on the
mastering out of the volunteers, were Of
feTed commissions in the regular army.
Maj Schaeffer. however. took advantage
OF his return to Minneapolis to partlci-
pate actively In the last municipal cam
paign IN that city, and his prominence
among the supporters Of James Gray for
mayor made him a conspicuous candidate
for the superintendency Of the city police,
so that he declined the proffered army
commission.
So strong did his campaign for chief OF
police become that he was practically
given the place, the Minneapolis papers
one morning announcing that ne had been
appointed. But the next day Mayor
Gray changed bis mind, disowned the HD-
pOintment and finally named the present
superintendent to the place.
Nal. Schaeffers humiliation was ex-
treme, and since that tine he has been
but a wreck of his former self His
tragic deed of yesterday does not come as
an entire surprise to intimates who have
known Of his extreme depression.

CLIMAX AT HAND.
WARNING TO CHINESE.

LONDON, June 23.-Matters in China
appear to have reached the climax of Sc
riousness, judging from this morning $
news. The announcement that Prince
Tuan has assumed active command of the
Chinese troops and the bombarding Of
T1en Tsin seems conclusive evidence that
the dowager empress has declared war on
the combined European powers, and that
the whole military strength of China is to
be employed in behalf of the Boxers. 1t
is considered significant that the Chinese
merchants of Shanghai are realizing On
their effects in specie, and retiring into
the interior. Evidently they anticipate
a spread of the trouble. Consequently, it
is urged, the forts at Woo Sung should
be seized by the international forces, in
view of possible eventualities. Possibly,
as preliminary to some action of this
kind, the consuls at Shanghai today ad-
dressed note to the Chinese admiral
asking him to remove his fleet from
Shanghai. In compliance with this re-
quest, two Chinese warships are to sail
today, and the rest tomorrow.
In the meanwhile the gravity of the sit
uation at Tien Tsin can hardly be over
estimated. The critical state of affairs
seems plain in the haste with which the
small force was dispatched from Taku TO
Tfen Tsin in relief of the defending force.
1t is probably taking stores and ammuni-
ton, the absence of which adds so sensi-
bly, to the straits of the garrison A late
message from Tien Tsin warns the re-
lieving force to beware OF Chinese am
buscades outside the town. If the assur-

AMERICAN CONSULATE GONE.
PARIS June 23-The French consul
general in China telegraphs, under date
of Friday, June %, as follows:
1.-The Chinese have bombarded the Tien
Tsin concessions and have destroyed the
American consulate
A dispatch received here from the
French consul, NJ. Francois. sent from
Yum Nan Flu, under date of Sunday, June

BARON Won KETTELER SAFE.
BERLIN, June 23.-The Chinese minister
here, Lu Hal Houan, today informed the
foreign Office that the German minister at
Pekin, Baron Won Ketteler, who, it was
reported, had been killed by the Boxers,
was safe and well.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The news of
the safety of Baron Won Ketteler. Ger
man minister to China, and his family
was tonight corroborated by a message
received here from Henry B. Ledyard,
Of Detroit, whose daughter is the wife
of Baron Won Ketteler. The message
stated that a cablegram had been re-
ceived via Berlin stating that his daugh-
ter and her husband were both safe.
This information, as well as other news
similar in character, has had reassur-
ing effect upon the president and his ad-
visers, and they are now inclined to re-
gard the situation at Pekin as less seri-
Gus than at first reported.
WARM WORK AT TEN TsIN
LONDON. June 23.-speciaI dispatches
from Shanghai, dated at 1920 p. M yester-
day, give additional details of the bonn
bardment of Tien Tsin. 1t is reported that
Tien Tsin has been necessarily lombard
ed for the last three days. The entire
British and French settlements have been
destroyed. Heavy casualties are reported.
The Chinese number at least Is, eco inside
the city, while their emissaries crowd the
foreign quarters setting fire to the build
irgs. The Chinese guns are being work
ed steadily from the walls of the native
city. The consulates are all being de-
stroyed. The foreigners flock to the town
hall. The assistance of reinforcements is
implored. The Russians are now intrench-
ed in the depot. They are resisting the
advance which the enemy is making in
overwhelming numbers. No word has been
received from Admiral Seymour, and it is
feared that, the relief column Jared bad
ly. ThSfe is an exodus of foreigners from
the Yangtse Kiang forts to Shanghai and
Japan. Many consider Shanghai unsafe.
owing to the absence Of foreign troops.
