Chicago Grain Brokers Turning To
Stock Speculation.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York Nov. 4-Chicago brokers are
heading toward New York and grain spec
ulation is on a rapid decline as a basis Of
making money or earning commissions.
There are several reasons for this. the
main one being that the public has turned
for speculation to the multitude OF new
stocks of all kinds that have been listed
of late years.
In the speculative world the principal OBJ
ject is fiuctuation. Given fiuctuation and
the broker makes commissions, for the pub
lie likes to take chances Another factor
In driving the public out of grain specu!a-
tion is the predominant influence of the
strong elevator interest in the West. Carry
ing charges make a constant drain upon
the capital invested besides interest and
the elevator people not only control the
situation from this viewpoint. but actually
with understood conditions of supply and
demand can manipulate the price of grain
to suit themselves
With the public turning more and more
to stocks for speculation and the elevator
men I'm control Of the grain situation.
brokers have been driven to take smaller
and smaller commissions to even up bust
ness Instead of making a transaction. buy
ing or selling 1000 bushels of grain. for in
stance for a commission of one-eighth.
$l25 this figure has been cut to one-six-
teenth even by many of the largest houses
and many trades Of 5000 or 10000 bushels
are now made by the scalping broker for
Sc TO S. respectively. on the transactions.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
VISITORS IN BUFFALO.

Hundreds of Hotels, Boarding and
RoOming Houses Besides Many Pri-
Vate Homes, on the List.
So much has been said and written
about the ability of the city Of Buffalo
to care for the crowds which will at
END the Pan-American Exposition this
summer that a few facts I'M figures
will be appreciated by the general pub
lie.
In the first place, there are listed
more than 200 hotels, which will give
accommodation to 10000 people; there
are $50 boarding and rooming houses,
affOrding accommodation for 1880,
while 1000 owners of houses, most of
whom never before hung out their
latchString for a consideration, have
signiied their intention of opening
their houses for the accommodation of
visitors to Buffalo this summer. These
1000 homes will accommodate at least
100, OO0< visitors.
The Exposition Company has arrang-
ed to furnish tent accommodation on
the Exposition grounds for 25O uni
formed men. There are also two com
panies arranging tent systems which
will afford additional accommodation
outside of the grounds for 1900 or so.
In addition to all this, there are a
large number of buildings throughout
the city now being remodeled and con
vefted into hotels, the plans of which
are not far enough along to afford an
accurate description or to estimate ac-
commodation at the present time. 1t is
safe to estimate h present capacity
of the city of Buffalo to accommodate
10000 strangers. To this maybe add
ed accommodations for at least $4,000
in the surrounding towns, such as Ton
AMANDA, La Sale, Niagara Falls, Lock
port, Williamsville, Gardenville, De-
pew and Lancaster, all within a short
trolley ride of the city.
Rates in hotels range from 81 per
day upward. AS ridiculous stories have
been circulated in regard to eXorbitant
hotel rates, it is well to note the rates
tina have been established at the Iro-
quois, the most expensive hotel in the
city. These are, for one in a 0
without bath, So and upward; for wv
in a room without bath, So and upward,
thus making the minimum rate $3.50
per individual. The rate for a DON
with bath for one person is So or for
two in a room $3.50. This is on the Eu-
ropean plan. OF course there are rooms
much higher rates for those who wish
to pay them, but the prices here given
are the highest in the city for hotel

PRAISES PANAMA ROUTE.
Captain yariIIa Says EARTHQUAKES
Mould SnoiI a N-icaraguan Canal.

Captain VariIIa Says Earthquakes
Would Spoil a N~icarasuan Canal.
Captain Beneu Vanilla, engineer in
chief of the Panama Canal company
and president Of the railroad which
runs from Paris to Lisbon, is in Wash
ington actively promoting the efforts
being made to interest the United
States government in hat route, says
the Chicago Record-Herald. Captain
varilla offers some interesting argu-
ments against the Nicaragua route.
He alleges hat 1t would traverse a
volcanic country, where earthquake
shocks are felt monthly and where
every few years the disturbances are
so violent hat no masonry could with
stand their force. Locks could not be
constructed to last 20 years, he alleges.
and the only route that could be exca-
waited would be SO crooked as to be
~unserviceable for navigation.
In Captain Varilla's judgment the
Panama route is the only practical
waterway across the isthmus. What
ever agitation there may be in the
United States in favor of that route
will handicap any purpose this govern
ment may have in the acquisition of
the rights of the Panama company.
According to the picture which he
paints, the United States is in an awk-
ward position. 1t cannot utilize the
Nicaragua route and cannot purchase
the Panama route.

ACT WORDS TO ~LEARNTHEM.
Freak System OF Language Lessons
In Chicn-o

introduced In Chicago.
Freak methods Of education were IL
Illustrated the other morning when 40
sets of language lessons We're sent out
to the public schools in Chicago. These
lessons are in the form of big posters,
on which are printed in heavy type the
word to be learned by first and second
grade pupils, says the New York
World. The method, as explained is
a combination of INSTALLATION. aurali-
cation and action, especially action.
The pupil is shown words such as
"hop," skip or jump" a teacher then
proceeds to put the word into action.
The pupil initiates her. and after the
whole class spends sufficient time in
hopping, skipping Or jumping it be-
comes language perfect, SO far as the
word in question is concerned.
The sight Of a pretty teacher going
through this ~pantomime is said to be a
great stimulus to education. There is
no question about the enjoyment Of the
pupils during the lesson.
The educators engaged in teaching
the system say that before two years
have gone by pupils will be able to go
through appropriate actions when they
hear expressions like these: Lean over
your desk. Put the doll to sleep. Shake
your left hand slowly. Walk slowly
and beat the drum softly. Throw a
bean bag at the target. Put your hands
in your pockets. Bow to the blue eyed
girl" This last is 2 favorite with the
boys, and it is claimed they all play
favorites.
Beating the drum softly" does not
come so easy, and shaking the left
hand" is always attended with the diff
iculty of distinguishing it from the
right.

ARE AGAINST VENEZUEEA.S
Five Powers Decide Not to Respect
Decisions of Her Courts. |

u WV LIZ
Decisions of Her Courts. |
Venezuela has received the first in
stallment of a stunning rebuke, and
there is more of it coming, says a
Washington special to the New York
Times. Three powers have already,
signifed to her that they will not re-
spect the decisions Of her courts and
that certain DEGREES issued by her ex-
ecutive are null and void. Two other
powers are about to issue the same no
tice to her, if they have not already is
sued it, and others are expected. In
short, Venezuela is fast assuming the
place of a pariah among nations.
The notice referred to has already
been issued by the United States, Spain
and Germany. Great Britain and Hol-
land are the two nations which are
about to issue it. The United States
has gone further than the other pow
ers, for in the case of the asphalt dis
pute she has served notice on Venezue-
la that she reserves the right to ire
view" the decisions of that country's
courts.
The matter which has aroused these
different nations to take this action,
however, is totally unrelated to the
asphalt dispute and relates to old griev-
ances. The most striking thing about
1t is thai there is absolutely no concert
of action. There has not been ever a
suggestion from one power to another,
and yet the five powers named are TAX
ing this cours spontaneously. Each
has arrived at the decision Of its W
accord.
President Castro some time ago is
sued three DEGREES. The first provided
for the creation Of a commission to
pass upon claims, the final decision Of
which will rest with the supreme court
of Venezuela; the second limited the
time within which claims may be
brought to 80 days, and the third pro-
vided for the payment Of claims from
a fund to be known as a revolutionary
fund. 1t is asserted that this fund has
no guaranty and is not backed up by
anything and that the paper would GER
tainly be worthless. The 80 day clause
was offensive, because there are some
parts Of Venezuela which cannot be
reached in less than two months by
mail. The commission clause vas Of
JecIed TO the powers nave 10
confidence whatever in the supreme
court of Venezuela, which would have
the ultimate decision Of the claims
passed upon by the commission under
Venezuelan law.
The powers have therefore served no.
tice on President Castro that his de
crees are of no effect and that they will
not consider the decisions Of the SUI
preme court in matters relating to their
citizens as binding. This is not quite
as stringent an action as that taken by
the United States in announcing it's in
tention to review the decision of the
supreme court in the asphalt trust, but
it is even more significant because of
the unanimity reached without any
concert of action.
