The men have surrounded them :
selves with desperate characters and

local officers, these the militia are ex-
pected to capture, although it will be
grand man hunt, and bloodshed is

Queen.

London, Dec. 1.-THE designs for the

of-gold under jacket, embroidered with
palm branches and the shamrock rose and
thistle. On the kings stole the cross
of st. George, the royal crown and the
rose, shamrock and thistle will be woven
in gold thread His cape will be mag
nifcent garment decorated with silver
eagles, feur de lis and the national floral
emblems.
The queen will wear robes similar to
those of Queen Adelaide, which will be
brought to Marlborough House from
Brodie Castle, where they are kept as
heirlooms. They are of black velvet man
ufactured on hand looms, elaborately en-
broidered and laced, having gold trim
mings, and with huge hanging sleeves.
The coronation rites will last four hours

robes. Over 5000 precious stones, dia-
monds, pearls, rubies, sapphires and en-
eralds will be included in the kings
crown. There will be 1880 pure white
diamonds and 1870 rose diamonds. The
historic ruby which the King of CASTLE

was subsequently, worn by Henry V at
Agincourt, is in the center of the crown,
placed in Maltese cross.

BULLS ARE CHESTY
They Win in Lively Fight on May
Wheat.
AN EXCITING DAY ON CHANGE
After Five Days of Bull Success
the Market Fails to
Break.

This was an exciting day in the local
wheat market. Wheat advanced again
with rush. 1t was the sixth day of the
bull market and good many of the more
active spectators were short. A good
advance had been made by moderate gains
for five days. and it was figured that a
reaction was to be expected
When the market opened prices were a
cent higher all around. The bears i'm
mediately began to sell more wheat and
to hammer the market. The price was
forced back to 76%c for May wheat and
around this figure pretty fight developed
The short interest tried to force "shake-
out" break, but there was bull support
against all selling pressure. Just be-
fore noon 1t became evident from the
strength in outside markets that no ma
terial break could be effected. and as the
market would close for the week in a few
minutes the bears began to get very
nervous. Soon they began to cover and
in twinkling May was up 21Ac from yes
terday's close, May selling at 7S%c and
December at 1850
The Chicago pit was wild and Chicago
May wheat sold to S3c. At the close to-
day the conservatives are badly licked
and many a bear is nursing sore head
while the bulls are getting very chesty.

AFTER HAY
Secretary of State May Be
Charged With
Contempt.

Washington, Dec. There was an in
teresting and unusual proceeding to-day
in the state department, when attorneys
representing parties to New York law
suit sought to compel the testimony of
Secretary Hay. The case was an action
for libel brought against New York pa
per by Carl Fischer Hansen, a Danish
banker, of New York, and involved Cap
tain Dirkfeldt Christmas. These persons
were seen to be interested as agents in
the attempt to sell the Danish West In
dian islands to the United States gov
ernment and the publication which forms
the basis of the libel suit is said to have
rested upon their competency.
The counsel for the newspaper to-day
attempted to PROFOUND some questions
touching the negotiations that had oc-
Danish agents in 1899-1900. The secre-
tary fatty refused to answer these on
the ground that he had no personal
knowledge of the matters at issue. What
ever knowledge he possessed he had ac-
quired in his capacity of secretary OF
state, and not as an individual More
over, the information sought to be ELECTED
was a privileged communication of the
government Of the United States and to
make this public would highly prejudice
the interests Of the country.
The counsel and United States Commits
sioner Blackstone of this city intend to
state the facts to the New York court
with a view to having the secretary OF
state brought before that court on a
charge of contempt.

Japan Ready to Extend Trade
With United States.
JAP GOODS COME HERE
This Country Could Easily Dom
mate the Nippon Trade.
A TALK BY CONSUL C. B. HARRIS
He Gives Commercial Club Members
Some New Ideas ON Trade
Expansion.

Charles B. Harris, consul general for
the United States at Nagasaki, Japan, ad-
dressed the Commercial Club this after
noon on Japan, its people and it's CONNER
cial relations with the United States. He
said that the United States was the best
customer Of Japan and consequently if
this country catered to the wants of the
Japanese would supply Japan with the
most of her imports. This was made the
easier Of accomplishment by the friendly
feeling among all classes Of Japanese
toward the United States. He said that
the Japanese will do with America as
they agree to do If they are used properly
by the people of this country. Although
Japan is an agricultural country there
must be complete change in the people
and their methods before American farm
implements will find any sales in the en-
plre. Our trade must be built up on iron
products and cotton fabrics. American
coal can be sold in the ports of the orient
in competition with the Japanese product.
Mr.. Harris paid a high compliment to
hal, who he said was one of the best Of
ficials in the United States foreign serv-
ice. He also said that although many
soldiers and subjects of all nations
had visited Nagask in the past five years
the American was the superior of all in
intelligence, physique, gentlemanly be-
havior, and general ability to "get there"
No American soldier who has visited
Nagasaki has yet done anything to dis
grace the American flag.
Much of Mr.. Harris address was de-
voted to the ways Of the Japanese. He
told of their primitive farming methods.
He said the railway service on the $500
miles of road was not to be compared
with that Of American lines The post
office department was a success. The
telegraph system was perfect, and the
empire was in close touch with all parts
OF the world through its steamship lines.

COPPER'S FALL
Hard Lines for Lawson and
His Amalgamated
stock.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Dec. 7.-Such a decline oc-
Cured in Amalgamated Copper stock to-
day that Wall street was alarmed for the
financial safety of Thomas w. Lawson,
who is large holder and against whom
the Standard Oil pool is supposed to have
been waging war. There was no support
to the stock and thousands Of shares were
offered in the market that would not re-
ceive them unless at large concessions
At times it appeared>as though there was
no limit to the decline. Then the brok-
ers became frenzied and threw over the
stock at big sacrifices. The price to-day,
649s, was approximately half that made
on the high record six months ago.
About II o'clock a report was started
that Lawson had pooled his stock with a
syndicate. This caused rally of a
point. Later the lowest prices were
made. Lawson's holding are said to be
10000 shares. Considerable of this he
bought above par. Great significance was
attached to the fact that the stock of the
Trinity Copper company, which was
financed by Lawson, the largest holder,
dropped to 10 to-day on the Boston ex-
change. 1t sold yesterday at 25.

WILD IN PIT
Speculation in Grain in Chicago Is
Again on the Rampage.

Speculation in Grain in Chicago Is
Again on the Rampage.
Chicago, Dec. 7.-Speculation on the
board Of trade was on the rampage again
to-day. Once more record prices in all
grains were topped and bull enthusiasm
ran from pit to pit, setting all traders in
fever of excitement. The conditions
back Of the upward whirl of prices were
almost identical with those that started
the strong bull movement here Wednes-
day and Thursday. Although the visiting
stockmen are rapidly leaving the city,
many Of them are still buying. Country
orders, especially for wheat, deluged the
commission houses this morning before
trade opened
Added to this big demand, however, was
a new and powerful bull incentive that
OF capitalistic speculation. Prominent
brokers say that the country has gone
speculation mad, and that men who usual
ly dabble in stocks are turning to grain.
Trade seemed almost to ignore the early
natural conditions which usually turn
markets. However, the news to-day was
bullish. Both the Liverpool and the Eng
lish country markets were strong, the
outside American markets bullish and re-
-ceipts were reported rapidly falling off
These influences, augmented by the re-
port that Wall street was strongly buy
ing in this market, brought opening prices
&c TO INC higher for December wheat
options, and 7c to 17sc higher for May.
Naturally these bulges brought heavy
liquidation, but prices stood we'll and re-
action brought them UP again on every bit
of bullish news.
Corn and oats, though both excellent
records for many years, followed largely
after the lead of wheat. The cash situa-
tion on bath these cereals is very strong
and the supply markedly limited. Decem-
Der corn broke the record at the opening.
The small sag in grains after the strong
early opening lasted only a short time.
Overwhelmed by the rush of orders from
every side, brokers bid madly for cereals
at new record prices. Wheat was in most
demand and at one time sold 3@3Bc over
yesterdays close.
