WASHINGTON Correspondence.
Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

From the Nations Capital.
1t is evident that Major General
E. s. Otis is not regarded as q popular
hero by the people Of Washington.
He was in the city twice this week,
but outside Of official circles his pres
ence created not even ripple Of in-
terest and there was not even SEM
blance of any sort OF popular demon
stration in his honor. In view Of the
position he has held in the Philip
pines for year and half this really
surprising. More surprising too, from
the fact that yesterday, spent by him
in Washington, WAS flag day, when a
universal exhibition OF Old Glory had
a tendency to stir up the patriotism Of
the people. That General Otis is
favorite of the president aud OF Sec
retary is certain, but it is equally Ger
tain that he is not favorite with the
people.
Two cabinet meetings this week
we're almost entirely devoted to the
Chinese resolution and its probable
effect upon American commercial in
terests in China. Members of the ad-
ministration do not attempt to hide
their anxiety about it. So long as the
trouble is confined to fighting between
Chinese soldiers and the Boxers, as
the revolutionists are called, it would
not matter much to US, but the latest
news indicates the danger Of \ general
breakup in China, and war Of out
side nations for control of the territory
That would be very serious thing for
our commercial interests over there
and might easily involve US in the war.
That would not please the admins
tration any more than it would please
the people, yet the administration
knows that it must protect our com.
mercial interests and take the chances
Of aving to fight for them. The stu
alton is serious enough to cause some
anxiety. ..-
Admiral Schley has added to his pop
ularity in Washington, always great,
by \ letter stating that he knows
nothing about politics, wants no po-
litical office, and would under no cir
cumstances accept a nomination to
one. That is just the sort of talk that
was expected from schley. 1t was
also expected from Dewey, but ambit-
ious wives have Influenced other men
before George Dewey was born.
The court Of claims, in passing upon
the case involving the payment of
prize money for the destruction OF the
Spanish fleet OF Santiago, decided that
Sampson, as commander-in-c chief OF the
American squadron during the battle,
is entitled to ss, 1896 and that Schley,
as commander uf division OF the
squadron under Sampson, to about
5000.
If the plan meets with the approval
OF the national committees, for If one
party has them the other will too,
there will be something new introduce
ed in this years campaign. The nov
city is grsphophone talks by promi-
nent party men. Agents OF the graph
ophone company have had statesmen
cooped up in number Of committee
rooms at the capitol for hours at a
time recently, talking stump speeches
into the phone. These have been
taken to Philadelphia to be exhibited

TWO LIVES LOST IN A FIRE.
Incendinrism Suspected In the Burn
ing of a Hotel In GenescO. \. Y.

GENESEo, n. Y. May S.-The American
Hotel in this village was totally destroyed
by fire which broke out at 2 o'clock this
morning in the kitchen. Sherman De-
mora, twenty nine years of age, and La
fayette Carey, fifty-five, both of West
Sparta lost their lives. The men were in
attendance upon term OF Supreme Court
here When the fire broke out there were
forty guests sleeping in the building
Many barely escaped with their lives. An
alarm of fire was turned in but the de-
partment arrived too late to extinguish
the flames.
Carey, one of the victims of the smoke,
leaves widow and three children. Later,
when the police began an investigation of
the fire. two men Wee suspected of the
work. They could not be found. Excite
ment runs high over their disappearance
and the villagers make threats of lynching
if they are found. The motive of the in
cendiaries is said to have been revenge
for fancied insults on the part of the pro-
prietor of the hotel, Edward Halligan.
At the inquest this afternoon Lulu
Schrciner. waitress, said that shortly
after o'clock this morning she was
awakened by discussion in the alley be-
low her window. She overheard the re-
mark: Don't lose your nerve, now. You
are a coward"
why don't you start it," another voice
replied.
"why don't you do 1t YOURSELF"
Miss Schreiner at the time attached no
more Importance to the words than to
consider them part of drunken quarrel.
An hour later the hotel was in flames

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Firm on Reports of Bad
Weather.. Corn and Oats Weak.

CHICAGO, May S-Wheat continued
very firm. Today's market was especially
so in face of the weak corn market. There
was a rather Indifferent tone in the for
eign markets, Liverpool being practically
unchanged and Paris the same. Reports
of damage from too much moisture in the
South and Southwest and further damage
from the iy-infected States. in conjunc-
ton with the continued dry weather in
the Northwest is the basis of the local
bullish sentiment. Outside trade contin-
ued light, however, which is rather dis
couraging to the local traders. Brad
streets reported a large decrease in the
worlds visible supply, 6,I96.o0G bushels.
Primary receipts were slightly larger than
year ago. The cash demand was fair,
10000 bushels, and the seaboard reports
twenty eight loads taken.
Corn at one time today was about a
cent under last night and it closed 1-2c
under. There is little news of shipping
demand, and the feeling is that for the
next few weeks cash corn people will move
as little as they can. This will enable the
seaboard to do a good deal of business.
but the volume here Will probably lie
small There has been a good deal of
liquidating today. There have been no evil
dences OF important support from the big
holders. Gables were easy.
Oats lost 1-4d3sc. The warm weather,
fine rains, and sympathy with the corn
weakness have been the features. TIE
July sold as low as % 1-2c and the May as
low as % 3-sc. Half the decline was re-
covered Stop loss orders were an influ-
ence for an hour. Shippers were buyers,
but the business accomplished here was
not large.
Provisions held another sharp break
early, lower hog and corn markets being
the cause, and inducing numerous small
houses tc let &C. Packers were the prin-
cipal buyers, several Of the larger con-
Germs being conspicuous on this side. and
this demand closed the market firm at al
most a complete recovery. After the free
liquidation Of the past week, this market
is in a good position to do better. The
cash trade was quiet.

Prices tumbled from a fraction to five
points all over the market yesterday, after
sagging gradually downward for a month
or more. The low level reached was in
many cases the record low price for this
year. People that have held their securi-
ties confidently heretofore, in the faith
that the declines were only temporary,
and destined TO give way 10 strong
market in the near future. yesterday lost
all hope and sold out, at a level from s
to Is points lower than that of month
ago. The bears continued TO hammer the
entire list but especially the steel and
wire securities. A number of the POOLS,
too. that have held on to the present time
were TO be seen as sellers. The Baltimore
and Ohio securities, and especially the
common stock, were very weak under
what was supposed TO be pool liquidation.
Pennsylvania and New York Central, and
eome OF the other Vanderbilt securities,
were also sold rapidly. The buying was
undoubtedly better than the selling for
the most part The people who walt for
the slumps to acquire stocks at bargain
prices" took round amounts of many Of
the securities mentioned. and of the gran
gers and Pacific stocks as well.

Jos. G. Sibley stands for William Nc
Kinley. Upon what platform does Mr..
Emery stand?
The people would like Mr.. Emery to
say for whom he intends to vote for
President, Mckinley or Bryan.
The PRESS notices in this weeks is
sue of the Independent that Mr.. EN-
cry is opposed to President McKinley's
foreign policy and will oppose the Re-
publican policy of expansion, or in
other words is in favor of giving up
the Philippine Islands, territory of
which Uncle Sam bought and paid for.
You would haul down the American
flag, would you? Of course you
would.
The Independent scribbler feels
awful bad about "Sibley's drips."
Having tasted them to the fullness
thereof, his mouth waters for just one
more taste. Don't worry, Mr.. Emery
too we'll knows how you expended (?)
that same "molaSSeSn two years ago
to trust yOur gang. Marry cent will
you handle, only just enough to lead
you on-a taste, ''as it WERE" No
"division and silence" in this game.
Mr.. Emery: IF elected to Congress
will you vote with the Republicans up
on organization of the House or with
the democrats? Did You or did you
not pledge yourself to the democratic
congressional delegates to vote with
the democratic party upon organization
of Congress? Will you or will you not
vote for the election of Republican
speaker of Congress, upon whom de-
wolves the duty of appointing the COM
mittees? If elected to Congress are
you not pledged to "deaP' with the
| democratic managers?
