on Chapline street, in compliment to
Miss Shirley Brockunier. a popular
member of the Spinsters, who is to be
welded next Wednesday to Mr.. Wilson

orations were very ornate, chrysanthe-
NUNS predominating in the floral en-
bellishment of the interior of the resi-
dence. The hostess was assisted by
her mother, Mrs Mary Delaplaine, and
the prizes which were awarded were
all japanese curios secured by Miss
Delaplaine during her recent visit to
the Orient.
The guests filed twenty -four tables.
Each was presented with a chrysar-
themum. The cards were adorned
with japanese designs executed in
water colors. The contests were spir-
tied and interesting. At the conclu-
sion of the play deiectable luncheon
was served, after which the honors OF
the evening were announced.
The ladies first prize, Japanese
vase. fell to Mrs. Charles Howard
Simpson; and the second prize, a JAP
anese fan, to Mrs. Reed Mcknight.

of course, of the gowns of the fair par

~INTENSIFIES ANXIETY.

LONDON, June 1S.-Lord Salisbury
to-day said he was unable to e~nlighten
the House of Lords on affairs in Chi
ma. Admiral Seymour had returned T..
Tien Tsin, but the government did not
know exactly why, nor what Admiral
Seymour's intentions were. The failure
of the international forces to reach
Pekin has greatly intensified the n
iety as to the fate of the Europeans
huddled together in the legations at
the Chinese capital, and it was feared
also, that the check to Admiral Sey-
mour's forces, necessitating their re-
turn to Tien Tsin, will lead to large
accessions to the ranks of the boxers
and make the suppression there still
nor difficult.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Wheat was SEN
sationally strong and excited today,
closing 35sc. over Saturday. Corn
closed A@%c. and oats A@%c. up.
The market at the close was barely
steady and but little changes.
Startling reports of the extreme
gravity of the crop situation in wheat
growing states OF North Dakota, South
Dakota and Minnesota, flooded the
floor on Change today. They were on
hand when the market opened and
they maintained their early pace
throughout the session. The pit was
wildly excited. The demand for wheat
especially from the Northwest, was far
and away the largest of any day this
year. Brokers had their pockets stuff
ed with buying orders from all quar-
tiers. Longs took out moderate for
tunes in profits, but their sales were
absorbed almost as sand sucks in
water and the market continued the
booming advance begun with the
ringing of the gong at $50 am. July
opened AQ%c. higher at 1885 G75Bc.
and almost without a check went up
to 1880. &c. under the high mark
last year. The top was reached half
an hour before the close and such dips
as occurred IN the advance were COM
p%aratively trivial. From the pinnacle
of its strength July reacted to 7S%c.
and closed 33sc. over Saturday at 1874
@Bc. The great mass of reports may
be briefly summarized as to purpose as
follows:
Saturday and Sunday were the worst
days of the season for the spring crop
in the northwest; many sections of the
northwest will not raise enough wheat
for seed; sc, 1000, 900 bushels is an out
side possibility for the North Dakota
crop which last year Appropriated So
000, 900 bushels. North Dakota, South
Dakota and Minneapolis combined.
cannot raise over 100, 000, 900 bushels,
a decrease from last year of 120, O00,-
600. The entire yield, winter and
spring wheat. Notwithstanding the
bumper crop of Kansas, will not be
over $4,000. 900 bushels according to
the estimate of Mr.. Snow, a Board of
Trade statistician.
The foregoing, as mentioned, is
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-06-19

merely the tenor of the reports re-
ceiyed today. 1t would take a good
sized newspaper to print them all. A
comparison with the spring wheat adj
vices the winter wheat complaints re-
ceived little attention although they
were serious enough to start things
moving with a clear field to them
selves. Illinois, Indiana and Missouri,
reported damages from excessive rains.
Russia was said to be suffering from
drouth in the South. The market was
several cents out of line in respect to
cash business and in many instances
cash wheat was resold to advantage.
C~learances at the seaboard in wheat
and flour were equal to 7S7 900 bushels.
Primary receipts aggregated $4,000
bushels, compared with 1922, 900 last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth report
ed GAS cars against 776 last week and
S46 a year Ago.. Local receipts were Ill
cars eight Of contract grade. New
York reported rs loads taken for ex-
port.
Corn for a long time was inclined
like vice presidential timber, to resist
the hand held out to elevate it, finally,
however, the market grasped the coat
tails of the ascending wheat values
and scored a substantial advance. July
sold between 39Ac and 40Ac, closing
k@5sc up at 1875 @40c. Crop reports
were favorable as usual and the open
ing was a shade reduced from Satur-
days close. Later shorts covered on
the theory that a four-cent advance
in wheat called for some upward ac-
ton in corn by sheer force of example.
Receipts here were $40 cars. Local
shipments, including Sunday, were
1,437, 600 bushels, compared with wheat,
corn was as quiet as the seven sleep
ers. There were many assertions from
corn to wheat. Oats piped out in a thin
small voice at wheat and said me,
too,'' and the big wheat market con-
desoendingly lifted the little one up a
bit. Shorts were the leading buyers,
but changing formed much of the bus
mess. July sold between 223sc and
.23Hc, closing Asc improved from
Saturday at 23Ac. The cash trade
wa draggy. Receipts here were 1926
cars.
Provisions were steady, but no at
tempt was made by the controlling in
terests tt unduly stimulate the mar
ket. Trade was rather quiet and the
main business of the day was IN I'M
changing July over to September. Hog
receipts were lighter than expected
and the market at the yards higher.
July pork sold between 81 IS and
S11 471a and closed unchanged at
81 so. July lard between Sc 1912 and
Sc 671a, closing 2hc lower at S. 671a,
and July ribs between Sc 771a and
Sc 72&, with the close 21ac higher at
Sc 1914. The September premium at
the close was from 7hc in ribs to zoe
in pork. Estimated receipts to-mor-
row: Wheat, 1856 cars; corn, 100 cars;
oats, 420 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.

NEEDLES, Cal. June 1S.-The fed
eral quarantine inspector had been
prevented from molesting passengers
on Santa Fe trains at the State line
and his authority is ignored by the
railroad officials. Orders have been is
sued to all conductors to take up the
pass of the inspector, Mr.. Jenkins, if
presented and collect his fare. Jenkins
has wired to Surgeon Kinyoun for in
structions. The conductors have also
been ordered to give the inspector no
information.
SAN FRANCISCO, June lS.-In is
suing health certificates TO persons in
tending to leave this State, federal
quarantine officer Kinyoun is acting
under instructions from Washington.
Surgeon General Wyman is quoted IN
a special dispatch as saying:
4 have issued orders to DR.. Kin
youn to maintain a quarantine along
the borders of the State of California.
The fact that the local quarantine has
been lifted will be no excuse of lack Of
vigil on part of federal authorities.
Dr.. Kinyoun received his orders some
days ago. My desire is to establish
such a strict quarantine along the Pa
ciic coast so that it will be impossible
for those suspected of having dread
disease to gain entrance TO our shores.
The quarantine officers not only at
San Francisco. but at other ports
along the Pacific coast, have been in
structed to be most watchful and the
law gives them full authority to pre-
vent the entry of suspects"
c. N. Sterry. chief counsel of the
Santa Fe railroad company, which is
ignoring DR.. Kinyoun's order provid-
ing for the inspection OF certificates at
the State line, will to-day ask the Uni
ted States Circuit Court TO enjoin the
enforcement of such order.

NO WORD SINCE JUNE u.

LONDON, June 1S.-The officials OF
the foreign office say no word had
been received from the British minis
ter at Pekin, Sir Claude NJ. MacDon-
aid, since June IL, and the government
is ignorant as to whether the legations
at the Chinese capital have been cap
tured or not. The admirals on the
spot are relied on to overcome all
difficulties. Admiral Seymour, the
British commander, is not hampered
by orders, and any requests which he
may make, will be promptly met.

CHARLESTON, ". Va. June 1s.-
Oslo Nutter, a young white boy, was
shot at Cannelton, Saturday afternoon,
by a negro miner named Kenney The
shot was from a IA calibre Colts
pistol, and it took effect in the right
breast, and ranged downward into the
intestines.
Three big, burly negroes named Tom,
Jake and John Kenney, got drunk at
the Boomer coal mines, and came
down to Cannelton. While in the store
of the Cannelton Coal Company one
of them stepped on the foot of the boy
Nutter, when a quarrel ensued, and
the shot was fired as above stated. The
negroes then escaped and left for
Boomer before they could be arrested.
Sunday morning Constable Hull sum
moned a posse of men and went to
Boomer to arrest the negroes implicat-
ed in the disturbance at Cannelton.
Constable Hull succeeded in arresting
John and Jake Kenney, the other, Tom
Kenney, having made his escape. The
prisoners were brought here to-day
and placed in the county Jail. Consta-
Bile Hull is in search of Tom Kenney,
but so far has not a~pprehended him.
The latest advices from Cannelton
are that Nutter is still alive, but it IS
thought he cannot live.

KEMPFF HAS AMPLE OVER.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The in
structions sent to Admiral Kempff,
relative to his participation in the
seizure of the Taku forts were broad,
consisting of a direction to protect all
American interests and to that end to
act concurrently with the representa-
tives of the other powers.
1t is explained that in the opinion
of the authorities this order conferred
