BIG WHEAT POOL FORMING.
United States and Russia to Form a
Combine and Dictate Prices TO
the World.

CHICAGO. May i9.-The Record
says:
There Is before the state department
at Washington a plan submitted by
the Russlon government. whereby
Russia and the United States could
dictate wheat prices to the world.
said j. NJ. Flynn, Of San Francisco, at
the Auditorium hotel.
Mr.. Flynn is an agent OF the Rus
sian American Company, recently
formed with a capital Of 5000. 900. and
has been In consultation with the Rus
sian embassy In Washington for sew
eral weeks on matters pertaining to
the company he represents. Continu-
ing, Mr. Flynn said;
This plan was submitted during
Cleveland's second term. but Il has
rested without action until the present
time. I know that the Russian govern
ment is anxious that its overtures be
met by this country. The trans-Sibe-
rlan railway develops a territory, the
principal products OF which are wheat
and cotton. Russia believed that with
the cooperation OF this country her
wheat and cotton. the principal items
OF exports also of the United States,
could bring much better prices.
"Russia's proposition was the result
OF the Investigations made some time
ago by NJ. DE Witte minister Of fin
ance to discover the cause OF the low
price OF wheat and cotton. They
showed 20 the satisfaction OF the gov
ernment that this low price was not
due to increased acreage nor lessened
consumption but was the direct re-
suit OF American competition"

ANOTHER RUNNING NATE.
Son Of General Mcclellan Believes He
Can Pull Bryan Through Be-
cause He Don't Believe in
the Chicago Platform.

NEW YORK. May ia special to
the Herald from Washington, says
that a meeting OF the friends Of Con-
gresham George h. Mcclellan, son of
Little Mac" the former federal gen.
eral, who was the democratic candi-
date for president in 1864, was held at
Washington last night for the purpose
of urging the nomination of Congress-
man George r. Mcclellan for second
place on the ticket with Bryan.
II was urged that Mr.. Mcclellan is
the best man TO strengthen the DEM
ooratis ticket in those sections Of the
country where MIR. Bryan is weak, for
the reason that he commands the con-
fldence Of the conservative New York
democracy inasmuch as during his
campaign for congress in 1896 and 1898,
when candidate for congress. he did
not so on record either for or against
the Chicago platform.

PHILIPPINE TELEGRAPH LINE.
Entire visayan Group VIII Soon Be
Connected by Wire-W Work of
Signal Corps.

WASHINGTON. May 1s.-A new
progress map of signal corps telegraph
lines and cables in the Philippines. just
prepared under the direction Of Cen
eral Greey. is Of especial interest at
this time. 1t shows not only the sys-
TEN as ii existed on March 81. but also
projected military telegraph lines and
cables now in process Of construction
Telegraphic communication between
Manila and the south has ben entirely
dependent upon the English cable to
the Visayan islands of Panay, Negros
and Tebu. This cable, which was bro
Ken by an earthquake on April IL, has
not yet been repaired. and the long
interruption emphasizes the great mill
itary Importance of the alternate tel
egraph route to the southern islands
from Manila, which Is now being con
structed by the signal corps.
II is expected that the entire Visayan
group will be connected by military
lines before July, and that the southern
system of cables and land lines will be
in oDeration by the end Of the rainy
season. The extent and magnitude OF
the telegraph and cable operations of
the signal corps in the Philippines Is
hardly realized or known.
There are 100 first-class telegraph
offices. manned by nearly 200 telegraph
operators. who handled by telegraph
on the island of Luzon alone about
100000 words each day. In addition
there are about $50 long distance tele-
phone stations in operation in various
parts Of the archipelago.
The work Of the signal corps, when
completed will stretch through nearly
II degrees of latitude. Six signal corps
cables are now in operation, and in all
probability the cables and land lines,
which were nearly 200 miles in length
on March 81, viii aggregate at present
$500 miles.

Chinese Resist Inn0cmatiOn by
Board Of Health Officers.
NO NEW CASES REPORTED
Six Deaths From tie Dread Disease AdmIt-
ted. But Authorities Claim II Is Stamped
Out---Pons Are QuarsatIains Against
the Steamers.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.-Whether
there are cases Of the bubonic plague
now existing in San Francisco or not
is a question. The authorities. while
admitting there have been al least six
deaths from the plague in the city
within the past week. claim the disease
has been stamped out.
Maritime authorities have been noti-
fed Of quarantine against vessels from
this city from nearly all coast points
and railroad centers may follow.
The board of health has adopted a
resolution declaring that bubonic
plague exists in San Francisco. The
health officers say that while there
are no living cases here. there have
been six deaths, and they have decid-
ed to take precaution against the de-
velopment and spread Of the disease.
This morning force OF physicians
went through Chinatown to treat the
Chinese with haffkine propylactic. as
prevention against the plague.
The condition Of affairs in Chinatown
today, as result OF the attempt to
innoculate the inhabitants Of the
quarter against the spread Of the
plague is critical. All the large stores
and many of the smaller ones are
closed and no business is being done.
Merchants look upon the attempt to
innocuIate them as an outrage and will
not submit to it. They assert that
five Chinese bound for the interior
were innoculated a few days ago and
and that two have since died from
the effects.
When It became known in Chinatown
that the board Of health had deter
mined to innoculate the residents In
the Chinese quarter. many tried to
leave the city. but were stopped oy the
police.

The majority Of the troops aboard the

prising the home detachments of the
oath and 25th Infantry. One hundred
marines are also enroute to the Phil
ippines where they will do duty at Ca
vite. The commanders of both the Gath
and 25th, which belong TO the regular
army are now in the Philippines see
ing active service with their regiments.
The oath detachment now on the vessel
was stationed at Fort Wright, Wash
ington and Helena, Montana while the
25th home battalion was at Cheyenne,
Wyoming, when orders were received
to join the main body of the regiments.
Colonel Freeman who was post COM
mander for so long at the Preside in
San Francisco is commander of the
oath while Colonel Burt commands the
other regiment.
Both of these regiments were in the
Santiago fights. The oath fought at
San Juan while the 25th helped Lawton
take Ell Caney. After the fall of San
! tiago de Cuba and the cessa +'on of
| hostilities the oath was sent to do guard

munes. 1t proved subsequently that
| though the men of the oath had been
proof against Spanish bullets they
were not to be so fortunate with the

died from that scourge. Since then
! both regiments have done duty as
guards in garrisons about Cuba. There
are three companies of the oath on the

home detachment is now in Alaska.
Four companies of the 25th are in tran
sit. Captain Leach is in command of

This is not the first visit of the latter

first person to come aboard after the
vessel reached the dock was an officer
who informed him that his home bat
