Chicago, Aug. 3.-George H. Phillips,
the corn king" about whom has
clustered many of the commercial sur
prises of Chicago recently, furnished
another sensation yesterday when he
announced that he was forced for the
time being to suspend the business OF
the George II. Phillips company.
When the suspension became known
pied out like waves over the board of
trade at the opening hour.
This does not mean we are quitting
business" said MIR. Phillips.
If the unexpected does not happen

ner a recognized trade trader An ar
rangement was completed by George
H. Phillips with Mr.. Kempner to take
charge of all new business coming in.
Rumors of defalcations through the
speculations of employees or members
of the company were dispelled by Rob-
ert Nelson, one of the expert account
ants, who have been at work on the
books for ten days. The recognized
fact still In existence is that winners
in the celebrated May corn deal are
still 2 cents ahead of the firm, which
means that the company

out $2S0,000 to its customers, which
really should be in the strong boxes of
the company. 1t will be a week yet
before the true condition Of affairs Of
the company are known. Mr.. Phillips
attorney, Mr.. Goodwin. said in re-
spouse to the question of the likelihood
Of an assignment Or the possibility
that a receiver would be asked for:
"The George II. Phillips company
will open in the morning ready for
business through Adolph Kempner.
There will be no assignment, nor will
a receiver be asked for by the men,
bers Of the firm or customers"
The accountant, so far has found no
evidence whatever of criminal irregu-
larities, but simply mistakes due to-
the immense amount of business
handled with inadequate facilities for
caring therefor.

GRAND LOTTERY ENDED.
Homestead Seekers All Now Know
Their Luck.

Ell Reno, Okla, Aug. 3.-The drawing
of winning numbers in the United
States land lottery was concluded yes
terday, $4,000 envelopes having been
taken from the wheels, $500 for each
land district. The crowd out on the
platform on which the drawing took
place was much smaller than on previ-
GUS day. Beginning Aug. 6. 1875 names
in each district will be called daily for
sixty days for the filing of homestead
entries. The estimate is made by
government official that in each land
district 1000 of the $500 numbers will
not be taken in the sixty days be-
cause of homesteaders who will be dis
qualified, or who will leave the coun-
try, believing their claims are worth
less. This will leave only $500 persons
who will make entry in their respective
districts. Two thousand claims will be
left for the wagon emigrants and 9TH
ers who have been in the country for
months and failed to draw number.
