but closed at a slight advance from open-
ing quotations. The quick break lust at
the close was no doubt a shake out and
leaves the market in strong healthy
position We see nothing but higher prices
in sight for corn and believe purchases
on such breaks as these will, if protected
with reasonable margins and q little pa
thence, result in handsome profits. We
feel that there is a. minimum risk in buy
ing while there certainly IS a maximum
risk in selling short. CleaTances are lib
eral, receipts light offerings small and
there never before was such a demand
from all parts of the world for corn and
the price cuts no figure
OATS-Oats are strong and viii follow
corn. Speculation is spreading to oats.
PROVISIONS - Provisions arc firm.
New high records were scored today and
the market closes strong at the advance,
but at a slight decline from top quota
tons. Packers and insiders are steadily
buying July pork and that option is gain
ing on May. J. 9. GOINGS-

and places for the holding of the two
territorial conventions. The convention
to name delegates to Philadelphia will
be held at Enid on May 10, and that to

of nature prevailed at the meeting and
the only contests were over the location
of the congressional convention and the
resolution recommending that that con-

TRAIN BURNED.
Disastrous Wreck on the Ft.
Worth & Denver.

Fort Worth, Tex, April 5.-The south
bound passenger train on the Fort
Worth & Denver City railroad was
wrecked this morning near Claiming.
The coaches caught fire and the entire
train except one coach burned. It is re-
ported six or seven people were killed,
among them the Wells Fargo Express
messenger, Chapman. superintendent
Goode and Trainmaster Mills, in a. spe-
cial car with a number of physicians,
left for the scene. The wreck was caused
by washout. The fireman and express
messenger. it is believed, were burned
in the wreck. The local Wells Fargo
office received a message from Charming
to the effect that it was impossible TO
tell the number of passengers killed.
Later a vague report from Claiming
says the wreck of the train was COM
plete. The train consisting of a first
and second class coach and Pullman
sleeper buffet car, express and baggage
car, combination mail and passenger
coach burned, with the exception of the
sleeper.
The train was running at full speed at
, o'clock this morning when it ran into
a defect in the track, caused by wash
out of a dump three miles from Ma
genta. The coaches Immediately took
fire and burned. Express Messenger
Chapman, the mail clerk and the fire
man can not be found and are thought
to have persisted. Their names are not
known here. 1t is believed several
passengers are dead,as many are report
ed here as unaccounted for. S. r. Nc
Mullen has gone to the scene to look af-
ter the business of the Wells Fargo
company along with Superintendent
Goode and Trainmaster Mills.
Nothing more definite can be known
here till late tonight.

TO RESUME WORK.
Miners Officials Trying to End the
Pittsburg Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 5.-A meeting of
the executive board of the United
Mine Workers Of the Pittsburg district
will be held tomorrow for the purpose
of devising means to bring about a
termination of the present strike and
a general resumption of work. Presi-
dent Dolan issued the call for the con-
ference today. A general convention,
he says, is not necessary at this time,
as the question to be considered is
merely one of inducing the men to re-
turn to work, the scale being made, and
there being nothing to negotiate with
the coal companies.
THE miners" he said ARE acting
foolishly, and will see it that way them
selves soon. The trouble is largely not
with the miners themselves, but with
the drivers and outside day hands
Dolan has been out among the Pan
Handle miners unraveling the scale
tangle. and as a result the men have
returned to work at a number of pits,
and they are again in full operation.
Today President Dolan is attending
meetings of the river miners in the
Fourth pool and explaining the Indian
apolis agreement. The situation is
more serious.

can't agree, even though they are men
who have had long experience in the Sc

not seem so surprising when one looks

spicuous buyers of B. & o. common on

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, April 5.-CORN-The Liverpool
advance in corn was disappointing news
regarded as a feeble response to the 2-cent
Jump here yesterday. The market the
lore part Oh the session was broad and
active, but the excitement of the pre-
vious session was lacking. 1t still retained
enough vim, however, to make 1t the
down at Al to 405sc There was selling
from all directions and the buying seemed
to be equally scattered. New York re-
ported a light foreign inquiry early I4iv-
erpool later furnished an impulse in the
other direction by advancing on the firm
ness of her spot market. The local mar
ket responded, May reaeting to 411kc
Shorts covered on the advance and the
believing in still higher prices. Local re-
ceipts 419 cars. Country aeceptances at
the higher bids We're reported light
During the afternoon, May was bid up
to 42c. This mark apparently was the
signal Tor a lot of selling, for from that
point the market sold down to 407SGHc,
at which May closed ssQ7zc under yester-
WHEAT-The poor showing of Liver
pool IN response to the wheat jump here
yesterday was the ruling factor in that
market early Paris was lower and crop
prospects reported f1aWless. May opened
AQ3sc under yesterday at 675s4zc and
sold down to 6715c. At this concession the
demand improved and the market recov-
cred to 67A@7sc- Local receipts were 90
cars, one of contract grade Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 467 cars against 496
last week and 300 a year ago.
The local selling on the fine weather be-
gan to tell during the last part of the SEES
sion in wheat May touched CSC, but
broke from that as the early selling be-
came pressing, because of the report that
rapid seeding was expected soon in the
northwest May dropped to 667sG67c and
closed weak, lie under yesterday at sc.
PROVISIONS-Ma pork began the day
rather wild, 10 cents higher to cents
lower at s13.15d13.3O but as this created
no excitement, it quieted down gracefully.
The market, pork excepted, was quiet and
firm. Hogs registered another advance;
there was a good demand. some of it
foreign, and offerings were not large. May
pork on proft-taking declined to SIS. o.
May lard for which the demand was par
ticularly goodf opened unchanged at S67O
touched s6.67la and advanced to S6.T712
May ribs opened a shade up at s6.921a, sold
at $3.50 and rallied to sos.
OATS-The oats market was fairly &C.
tive, but easier with corn and wheat

This option opened a shade down at 2514 q

WHEAT-Liverpool cables came un-
changed this morning and closed I'D low

selling at the opening, but the market

in corn bought little wheat, SO did
Standard Oil interests and foreigners. but
when their purchases were taken away
the market showed unmistakable signs
of weakness and the big bear plungers

hammered it numerically, closing it at
the bottom quotations of the day. The
bear news is all IN and we see nothing
more that can depress prices, except tenn
porarily. Compared with corn, oats and
provisions, wheat is worth Soc Tremend-
Gus short interest exists. probably. about
1870 million bushels. which makes a
strongly congested market and viii pre-
vent any material decline. We are firm
believers in higher prices and believe
speculation will spread from the corn and
provisions pits to wheat sooner or later.
CORN-The cables we're up about cent
a bushel on corn today, closing strong at
the advance. Our markets opened of a
fraction, but scored a good advance later
in the day, making new high records The
market eased of with wheat, however,

Will the Isthmian Canal Commission
Be Ready to Report.

Washington. April 5-Admiral John
Walker, president of the Isthmian canal
commission, called at the state depart
ment today to report to Secretary Hay
the return to this country from the 18th
was under his Immediate personal con-
duct. The admiral stated that it would
not be possible to resume the sessions of
the commission until all the members had
returned to the United States and at pres
ent two of them are still on the isthmus,
one being at Darien, conducting explora-
lions there.
The conclusion has been reached that
the full report of the commission can not
be ready for submission during the pres
ent session of congress and the members
are 10th to put in a preliminary report.
Such reports are at best unsatisfactory
in the view of the commission and not
withstanding the degree of success at
tanned in forecasting the detailed esti-
mates of the cost of the Nicaraguan canal

The naval appropriation bill was pre-
scented by Mr.. Foss (Ill) acting chair

the last congress, the committee regard
the risk of such predictions as unwar-
ranted in the present instance.
The commissioners enter an emphatic
denial of the statement that their eXplor-
ing parties were hampered and in cases,
compelled to abandon their work through
the hostility of the semi-savage tribes
that are found in some parts of central
America Although the commissioners de-
cline to formally commit themselves as
to the merits of the rival canal projects,
or the probable cost of their execution, it
is gathered that so far the Nicaragua
project is concerned at least, the results
reported by the present commission will
accord very closely with the estimates of
probable cost submitted by the preceding
