BULLS IN A POCKET
Bears Have 1t Their Own Way on
the Chicago Board.
FALL IN THE PRICES OF GRAIN
Phillips, the Leader of the Bull
Movement, Is Called for Heavy
Margins.

Chicago, April 3.-Bulls in grain met
their Waterloo on the Board Of Trade to-
day, when millions Of bushels of "long
stuff were thrown overheard on
crumbling quotations, which ceased fall
ing only a quarter of an hour before the
close.
Heavy bull speculation, headed by
George H. Phillips, who manipulated
squeeze in November corn and thereby
obtained large following, had succeeded
in keeping May corn up close to the 45c
mark for several days last week. Satur-
day professional short selling, reinforced
by increasing receipts, began to tell on
the market. Phillips, credited with
holding nearly 10000, 000 bushels of corn,
about half as much May oats and 100000
or 100000 May wheat was called for
1925, 900 margins. He responded promptly
and Monday it was thought the short sell
ers had run their course. During the lat
ter part of the Monday session, however,
the bears redoubled their efforts and it
was said that Phillips was again called
upon for 100000 margins
AS there was no session yesterday, a
measure of confidence began to run
through the bull ranks. Bears took ad-
vantage Of the interim in this market
however to pound prices on the outside
exchange and at Liverpool, and when the
longs came up at the opening to-day, they
Immediately saw that their hopes were
gone.
Wheat started the panic by opening at
a decline of cent all around. Corn did
likewise. Oats was also extremely weak.
Phillips brokers were said to be Inactive
The bears were not, however, and by noon
they had the longs in a pocket. Millions
Of bushels of wheat, corn and oats were
thrown on the market, regardless of price
May Wheat, which had sold up to 1890
early, fell to z11@ @@715sc. On scattered
covering it reacted to 723s@721ac, where
it closed, &c under Monday, and 5ssc under
the high point of a fortnight ago May
corn fell from 43c to 40%c, reacted, and
closed at 415sc, a net loss of 1sc from
Monday. May oats fell from 255sc to
241ac and closed &c net lower at 247sc.

PROPOSAL FOR SURRENDER
Aguinaldo Is Said to Have Made a
Proposition.

+ Washington, April 3.Important pro-
posals contemplating the surrender of all
the insurgent forces in the Philippines
have been made to this government by
Aguinaldo. These proposals are stated in
a dispatch from General MacArthur.
Aguinaldo wishes an opportunity to
communicate with friends and former
subordinates still in the field and this
will be allowed him under She supervis-
ion Of General Macarthur. The presi-
dent does not intend to bargain with
Aguinaldo. He is a prisoner of war. If
he exerts his influence the United States
will welcome his aid and will consider
his conduct when determining his future.
"Aguinaldo's taking the oath of allegi-
ance," said one member of the cabinet
emphasizes the Importance of his
capture. 1t makes more clear that the
insurrection has about reached its end
and foreshadows the early complete gem
eral acceptance Of United States sovereign
ty and authority. Only a comparatively
small number of Filipinos are still III
arms, and the effect of Aguinaldo's action
on them is obvious. From now on we
will press forward organizing the best
government we can, suited TO the needs
Of the Philippines"

saltwater, Mimi, April 3.-Two hun
dred men who have been working for
Musser, Sauntry & Co., near Gordon, Wis,
left yesterday on a special train for Still
water, but upon order of the board Of
health, which had heard that case of
smallpox was on board, the train was
stopped and placed under quarantine near
Hudson. Before the guards arrived, how
ever, eight of the men escaped and en-
deavored to cross the pontoon bridge and
come to this city. They were restrained,
however, and passed the night as best
they could on the Wisconsin shore.
The quarantine was raised this morn
ing and the men permitted to 60 the ma
jorit yof them coming to this city. None
was permitted to enter Hudson. Fred
Johnson of Houlton, Wis, is said to have
been the smallpox patient on the train.
The men were much wrought up over the
treatment accorded them They say there
were no fires in the coaches and that
they were given nothing to eat during
the night.
There are two new cases of smallpox
at the pesthouse in this city They are
lumberjacks and came down from Gordon
yesterday. 1t is possible the disease will
get a new foothold here owing to the ar
rival of so many woodsmen from infected
localities.

The slaughter of bills continued in the

Flowers for Peterson.
The old soldiers in Minneapolis appear
appreciative of what has been done for
them by James A. Peterson and other
members in increasing their monthly al
lowance from 81 to SIS. They forwarded a
large box of flowers to Mr.. Peterson to-
day asking him TO make a distribution
among his colleagues.
The county commissioners bill, passed
under suspension, re-enacts that portion
of the old law providing a monthly salary
for the commissioners in Hennepin coun-
ty. The general act passed earlier in the
session repealed in effect that portion Of
the law applying to Hennepin.
Danger in Delay.
The danger that 1000 acres of standing
timber in Itasca Park would be sacrificed
if there is any delay in the condemnation
of such lands for park purposes, was for
chilly brought to the attention of the house
in petition from J. V. Brewer asking the
passage and approval of H. F. 579. Mr..
Brewer predicted that within three years,
numbering operations recently commenced,
II allowed to continue, will precipitate
a destructive forest conf1agration of such
magnitude that the picturesque source of
the Mississippi river will be denuded." :"

Boston, April 3.-Sixto Lopez, the Filipino
agitator in this country, said regarding Ag-
uinaldos oath Of allegiance:
IF he has taken the oath and submitted
to American sovereignty without any stipu-
lation as to future independence he will
have lost the respect Of the Filipinos gener-
ally, his influence with them will have been
destroyed and the war will be continued.
But if he were convinced by official or un-
official assurances that the struggle, however
long or valiautly maintained. would be hope
less, that submission would be the shortest
road to independence, and that ultimate inde-
pendence would actually be secured by his
taking the oath and by inducing his fellow
countrymen to do likewise, it is possible he
may have taken the oath without sacrificing
his honor or his aspiration and hope for the
independence of the future.

If this is done it is believed that the
remaining leaders in the field will surren-
der before May /, after which peace will
be proclaimed. The rebels that do not
come in before May /, it is thought, will
be declared to be outlaws and will be
