Bears Were Active.

Some of the dealers thought the juvenile looking speculator was in straits and was running to wind up his string They jumped on the market and tried to sell corn at 471s cents. Phillips turned instant ly from seller to buyer, from bear to bull and snapped up every man who was of fering to shade the price that he was mak- ing The decline stopped at once. Phil lips showed to the corn pit that he was it's master; that he could regulate 1t at will The fellows who tried to get some of the corn kings money in the delustion that he was weakening are now wondering where they will get off on Friday The closing price was 49 cents, a reaction due. to Phillips buying. It was sisssili;Ilcent to some traders-t17dI firms who are reputed to be at the mercy of Phillips have not given any sign of excitement or worry. They have not shown their hands in the pit. They are watching affairs as closely as the king of the golden cereal. There is still some talk of special trains coming from the country with corn enough to make good the obligations of Phillips. To the outsider there is no sign of its predicted movement The receipts, including Sat- urday, were 900 cars not more than 10 per cent graded No. 3. Compared to the re- quirements for settling day this was not a drop in the bucket. Advices from the corn belt are that corn Is damp and un- graded Very little of the new crop has been taken from the husk. The rains of the past two weeks have stopped outdoor operations.

Had Corner "Cinched."

The excited market was the unmis kable admission of the corn trade that Phillips has "chfnch" on his corner. Some of the other brokers who tried to nurse a lit- tie corner in November corn last summer and who got tired about the time they had worked the bulk of the contract off the market and left a smooth path for their successor envy the little fellow, but they are not throwing anything in his path.
 Phillips conduct today won him great praise. Few men have been able to keep a cool head under like circumstances He parted with 300,000 bushels, about one-tenth of his holding He bought 100, 900 bushels when the bears tried to drag him off his pedestal. He made $90,000 Apparently he Is going to keep the selling price around 50 cents. If the shorts are meditating a coup on the last day, they may wake up to find that Phillips has closed his line. He claims now that he cannot be squeezed whatever may happen. As long as he keeps on selling more than he buys and holds the market down to 50 cents, he is seemingly too him. ble to be crowded off the market with his corner. Other spectators have been buying at big price ih order to hold up the mar ket and paying out their funds on mar gins.
 George A. Seaverns is said to be giving aid to Phillips Some think the elevator man Is back of his former employe in the trade At any rate the drying and cleaning house of Seaverns, which in the past has been able to turn out contract corn with great rapdity in times of stress, has not added bushel to the supply since the Phillips corner has developed. MT. Seaverns' inac- tivity is not credited to pure benevolence in the success of his former employe.
 Todays price of corn is the highest since June, 1895, when a predicted famine ran up the price for cash corn. December corn felt the Influence of the short grading in November, and went up half cent over Saturday.

Lincoln, Neb.. July 17.-William ].
Bryan's attention was called to-day TO
the fact that some anti-imperialists had
announced they would be opposed to him
on account of the silver plank in the
platform, and he was asked as to whether
this fact would seriously affect the anti

Several gold standard opponents of inn

has not acted officially In such a matter
each individual is governed by his own
views as to the relative Importance of the
issue The Democratic platform declares
the question of imperialism to be the par
amount issue. II any opponent OF impe-
iialism refuses to support the Democratic
ticket because OF the silver plank, IL must
be because he considers the money ques-
ton more important than the Philippine
question; that Is, he prefers a god stand

when the test comes, | believe that
those who adhere to the doctrine that
governments derive their just powers not
from superior forces. but from the con-
sent of the governed, will support our

WILL GET INCREASED PAY.
Service in China Will Entitle En-
listed Men to 1t.

Washington, July IAN important
question in connection with the payment
CT troops on Chinese service has been de-
ded by the paymaster general of the
war departing mt. An act of Congress last
May provided for a 10 per cent. increase
of pay for officers engaged in service in
cur insular pos sessions and a 20 per cent.
increase for enlisted men over and above
the amount provided for in time of peace.
1t has been understood that this increase
would not apply to troops in China, be-
cause a state of war was not officially
supposed to exist. The pay department
will hold, however, that the troops now
in China are actually on war service
This secures for the enlisted men their
% per cent. increase, although it will not
affect the officers.
In the matter of finances no great APP
prehension is felt in the war department
as to a lack of funds whel her on extra
session of Congress is called or not This
is the beginning of the fiscal year. and
all the departments Of the government
have at their command the appropria-
tions which it was supposed would carry
them over until the first of next July.
Should the Chinese situation develop an
extraordinary demand for funds, it is
thought there is abundance of money on
hand to serve until the next regular ses-
sion of Congress which can provide for
the emergency
