CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune Dem)
says; Our army needs are dictated, first
ly, by the garrisons required for our sea-
coast defenses and larger garrison posts
scattered through the country, and. sec
ondly, by the extent of our possessions
beyond seas. If Cuba and the Philippines
are given Their independence, our need of
d large standing army will be reduced 10
a minimum. The army leaders ought to
have learned by this time that the Ameri-
can people are opposed to a large army.
and favor the fostering of the national
guard and militia as the nucleus of a
large volunteer force in the event of
war"

ALL A MISTAKE.
Mayor Harrison Helped Out of
an Embarrassing Position.

Chicago, April 16-Mayor Harrison
today received from Duke d'Arcos. the
Spanish minister at Washington, the
following reply to an invitation to at
tend the Dewey celebration in Chicago:
washington, April il.
"Sir-I return to you, here enclosed,
an invitation from the city of Chicago
for the celebration of the second ami
versary of the battle of Manila, which,
1 take for granted, has been sent to me
by mistake, as it is the first discourtesy
1 have met with since 1 am in the
United States.
1T is impossible for me to believe
that you have advisedly asked me, the
representative of Spain, to go to your
city and rejoice with you on the de-
struction of the Spanish ships and on
the death of so many brave sailors my
compatriots. That would have been
simply an insult, and as I do not de-
serve it, and it cannot have been your
intention, I am practically sure, as I
say, all this is the result of an error
4 have the honor to remain, sir, very
respectfully yours, ARGOS"
In reply, Mayor Harrison has written
the minister, explaining that the invi-
tation was sent through the careless
ness or ignorance of a clerk, and ex-
tending sincere apologies for the unin-
territorial diScOurteSy

WHEAT-Wheat opened slightly lower
this morning on account of rains over the
wheat belt, where 1t was badly needed.
The big shorts came in on the break and
commenced to cover and the market adj
vanced rapidly until their purchases =ers
withdrawn. Receipts were light and clear
ances rather small. less than 200 600 BUSH
els wheat and flour, as wheat Northwest
receipts were below those of a year ago
and the visible supply showed a decrease
of 139 600 bushels. Bull sentiment prevails
and in addition to this there is a large
short interest These two combinations
will no doubt sustain prices. One thing
is certain wheat is worth the money
are not panieky times. Volume of busi-
ness was small today as the trade are
waiting for Liverpool cables in the morn
ing. there being no markets there since
Thursday.
CORNECorn is strong. Good pool buy
ing appears on soft spots and the market
advances easily when buying orders ap-
pear. Receipts are small, shipments lib
eral and cash demand, both foreign and
domestic, was never better We feel that
corn is going higher and that purchases
on soft spots will result in good profits.
OATS-Oats are dull and featureless-
Good investment buying appears on the
breaks. Oats will follow corn
VISIONS-Provisions opened on but
regained the loss in a few minutes on
heavy buying by packers and commission
houses and closed at about the top for
the day. Hogs were sc lower at the yards
and receipts were larger than expected.
We believe pork is going higher and
should be brought on the breaks

ANNEKE JAMS HEIRS.
Claimants of Rainbow Estate to Meet
in Topeka.

A meeting of the heirs of Ameka JAMS
will be held at the Riblet hotel in this
city Thursday. The call for the meet
ing was issued by Mrs. Curry, wife Of
the Riblet clerk. who holds the position
of secretary of the organization per-
fected by the alleged heirs in this sec
ton of the country some time ago.
The Anneke Jams estate is a colossal
rainbow pot of gold on which several
hundred thousand are endeavoring to
get their fingers. It is supposed to be
worth something over a billion dollars,
property in Holland amounting alone %
so millions. Besides this there are 80
acres in New York city, and property
elsewhere. AS usual with all such ia b.
ulous estates, lit is buried deep under a
blanket of legal entanglements, which
will probably never be Strengthened out.

New York. April 16.-Certainly in the
last week the railroad department of the
stock exchange demonstrated more than
inherent strength In some quarters there
were distinct signs of an aggressivenesS
on the part of the bull element, while the
liquidation which took place was Of a
speculative rather than investment
character In fact there are many shrewd
observers who believe that large part
of the selling of last week in every dfrec-
account The buying power shown by
London is most remarkable. To the sur
prise of many persons, the fortnightly
settlement at the London Stock Exchange
last week was completed on the basis Of
low contango rates, which indicated
either that the bull account had been
over exaggerated, or that the bear tran
sactions were larger than had been sup
posed. This London buying of the last
few weeks has aStoniShed even the houses
at the American end of the arbitrage- 1t
is certain that London has been an i'm
portant factor in the New York Stock
speculation, irrespective of the anomalies
sometimes presented in the sterling
change situation London's wealth is
something tremendous London'S courage
in Investment on conviction is equalled
only by the tenacity with which Germany
capitalists hold to the American securi-
ties, which they buy when they are con-
WINGED that the value ought to increase.

SHIPPERS MUST PAY.
q. S. Supreme Court Passes on
Express Stamp Tax.

Washington, April 1.-the supreme
court today decided the cases involving
the stamp tax as it applies to express
packag es, the question involved being
whether the shipper or the carrier shall
pay the stamp charges on packages.
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tee White and was favorable to the
express companies. There were two
cases before the court involving the
question at issue, but the opinion was
based upon the case of the American
Express company VS.. Attorney General
MAYNARD of the state of Michigan. The
case came to the supreme court from
the decision of the state supreme court
of Michigan, which decision was adj
verse to the claims of the express COM
panies. The opinion today reversed this
opinion.
