Careful investigation at Potsdam Sunday
regarding the circumstances in which
Emperor William delivered his latest mil
tary Iaddress developed the information
That during a review last Tuesday OF Il
number OF military bodies belonging to the
Potsdatn garrison, including the First
regiment OF foot guards, extraordinary pre-
cautions were taken TO prevent any repre-
sentative of the press or other civilian OBJ
tanning knowledge of his majesty's re-
marks, which We're uttered in the lustgar-
den adjoining the royal castle.
From persons who were present it WAS
learned that the kaiser spoke substantially
as follows:
IA hand from out of the people was re-
Gently raised against me TO my intense sor-
row. Evidently serious times are coming,
which will try our mettle. | know that
the army is true to It's traditions and to the
solemn oath il has taken. i know it will
remain stealfast and faithful to me.
My conviction is especially strong re-
garding the guards and regarding this reg
iment now present. which is tied to the
llohenzollerns by indissoluble bonds. as
the past has shown daring the ~troublous
times abroad, and even during revolutions
AIRY times at home.
The authority of the crown must be
maintained at all hazards. Woe to the
soldier who listens to the voice of the

Mr.. l;ocshiii, Unltei States special COM
missioner to Fekin, had a long interview
on Sunday, April !, with LII Hung Chang.
who satisfied him that there is not likely
To be any further hitch in the negotiations
for a settlement between China and the
powers.
China has agreed to the list OF punish-
ihenis submitted by the ministers of the
powers, asking only one concession, name
iy deprivation of Office. instead of banish-
mt, in the case OF II man who is 20 years
of age. To this the ministers have agreed.
LII Hung Chang says the court is eX-
trcmcly anxious to return to Pekin as soon
as the foreign troops evacuate the capital.
Some Of the ministers OF the powers be-
gin TO thinl that SO large Il force as $1,000
troops acting as legation guard in the city
proper would be Il great mistake. Such Il
body would have to remain in Il space of
one square mile. The troops could moi be
allowed outside delegation quarter armed,
and it would probably not be safe for them
to go unarmcd.
III is thought by some OF the ministers
that il the encampIncnt were made from
twelve to fifteen miles away. with the
necessary stores, this arrangement would
be much preferable, as Il telegram conid
bring the troops into the city Immediately.
Moreover, several ministers have been in
suited by troops of other nationalities. Mir.
Rockhill IL Sir Ernest Mason Satow.
British II mister, were returning from din
ner in sedan chairs when they were
stopped by German soldiers, who proceed
ed to beat the chair bearers. The ladies
of the party were greatly frightened.
The ministers generally fear that the
presence in Pekin of Il considerable force
of troops of various nationalities might be
Il source of International friction.
They are not entirely pleased with the
military proposals of the general, as they
fail to see the necessity for the demolition
of all the forts.

Features OF the weeks
Chicago. speculative business on the

tNIpdIN1 speculative business on the
---AB Board of Trade have been
the activity and strength of the corn and
provision markets and the apathy and
slugsishness of wheat. At the close OF
business, while wheat was practically the
same price it was Mt the end of the week
preceding, both corn and provisions show
ed considerable improvement. Wheat
spectators appeared to regard the cur
rent price for May delivery of that cereal
as high enough under existing conditions,
with expectation of II somewhat lower
range should the present excellent out
look for the c winter wheat crop be
maintained. Exports of wheat and flour
to the United Kingdom and continent of
Europe continue heavy, but the ability to
meet all such demands, as we'll as the
calls of all kinds for domestic require
mcnts, without reducing in any marked
degree the visible supply leads to the
conclusion that the battle over the price
at which last seasons crop should be sold
practically has been fought, and the next
radical change must he on the general
outlook for the coming seasons produce
ton. Everything in the latter direction
looks hopefully for the Industrious cult
vators of the fields and obviously for
those who are buying July wheat at cur
rcnt prices. Speculation, which is so
dormant in the wheat market. is active
and widespread regarding the value OF
corn. \ rise of IA cents a bushel in the
price of May delivery from the close of
the previous week shows conclusively i'll
which direction the weight of opinion
tended. Receipts of corn in the West
have been small and arc likely to con-
tinue so until some progress shall have
been made with spring work on the
farms. The bulls for the time being
have complete control. There seems to
be no reason why prices should not so
still higher should the dominant party
conclude to push its advantage. Provis-
ions were benefited by the advancing ten
dcncy of corn and n continuing good con
sumptivc demand for the products. not
w~ithstanding their increasing price.

new YORK, slightly iirmer tone to the
money market there has
been no apprcciable change in general
conditions this week. In nearly all lines
of trade the same degree OF activity and
strength that has been heretofore noted
continues to prevail, and the outlook is
regarded by authorities as about all that
could he reasonably desired. Reports
from the iron and steel centers are of Il
favorable character, and as this business
is looked upon as Il fairly reliable index
to general trade the prevailing sentiment
naturally is an optimistic one. This con-
fidence in the future continues To be
strongly reflected in the stock market,
where further additions to the values of
several securities have been recorded this
week. Some of the leading commission
houses that until recently hnve been con-
sistcntly bullish are, however, beginning
to take Il more conservative stand. In
their opinion there has been too much Of
Al buying rush ON the part of the public.
and enthusiasm in that quarter is likely
to lead to overlooking and IL conscsted
condition of the market. Furthermore,
it is manifcstly ont of the question for
prices to go one way indefinitely, II it
is felt that after Il tive-month period of
almost continuous advance, during which
many stocks have been sent to Il By and
4 per cent investment basis. the limit of
intrinsic worth has been very nearly
reached. and that the situation calls for
the exercise of considerable caution on
the part of intending buyers.
