DOMESTIC.

= Chicago, Dec. Inlay wheat sold
Tuesday for the highest price reached
this year when 839l cents was given.
There was considerable excitement
on the board when the jump to top
notch prices was made, but before the
markets were closed the figure had re-
coded to 49,. Early in the day mil
lions of bushels were sold. Wheat
opened up little lower than it clos
ed on Saturday, and in spite of rather
heavy market and somewhat lower
prices for corn and oats, the demand
for it from the outside became great
er steadily. In the furry the price
of corn and oats remained fairly firm,
corn closing little lower than it
opened. James W. Patten, mayor of
Evanston, is reported to have disposed
of /, 900, 900 bushels of oats at the rul-
ing price which acted in sympathy
with the wheat pit.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. Spiritual
ism is a religion and the practice of
clairvoyance cannot be regulated and
a license to practice it levied, was the
decision of the State court here to-
day in test case. The court held
that because Spiritualism was profess
ed by so few and derided by so many
did not divest it of its religious char
acter and that any attempt at regula-
ton was interference with the rights
of conscience and religious freedom.
The case was backed by the State
Spiritualist Association and it's novel
ty attracted much attention.
New Brunswick, N. j., Dec. IL
While Sarah Birch, aged eleven, and
Anna Hartley, aged twelve, of "a John
street were sliding on the frozen Rari-
tan canal, on Tuesday, Anna went
through an air hole. There were no
skaters in sight, so Sarah lay down on
the ice around the hole and when
Anna came up tried to seize her. She
did not succeed and the girl sank
again The next time she came up
Sarah got hold of her hair. She could
not pull her out of the water but she
held on for several minutes and
screamed for help. Then William La
bone skated up and rescued both. The
water had flowed over the ice around
the hole so that Sarah was half sub
merged.
Boston, Dec. H. In a fire in Tails

MUST STAY OUT.

Washington, Dec. 13.-It is regard
ed as foregone conclusion that there
will be legislation early this session
to extend the Chinese exclusion act
for another ten years's period. The
Pacific coast representatives are active
in the demand that the exclusion
policy shall not go by default They
anticipate no serious opposition, but
it is said that it is not unlikely that
advantage would be taken of any I'M
toward situation in the matter by
steamship interests that would reap
harvest in case the exclusion should
expire next May, with the limitation
put by Congress in re- enacting the
Geary act the second time.
The people of the Pacific coast who
know what Chinese immigration is pre-
dict that should Congress by any slip
fail to renew the exclusion act, the
steamship lines of the Pacific, would
in a months time, be bringing the
coolies over in immense cargoes. 1t
is pointed out that the number of
Cinnamon in the country is rapidly
decreasing. In ten years it has drop
ed from 70, 900 to $4,000. If the law
can be re-enacted with stringent feat
ures demanded by the coast represen-
atives and senator's, it lis likely that in
another decade the Chinaman will be-
come as rare in the United States as he
was in the first half ofsthe century.
