that Greensboro does not want to go.
II is said that may be New Bern wants
TO claim the championship but in view
of the base ball fiasco 1T does not appear
that there is any championship to be
claimed. II has been suggested to New

Richmond, Va, July 15.-The general
assembly convened today for the first

feature of the session was the refusal

stood
Il will never take that oath,' he
said. There is no power to compel
me to do so. I emphatica1ly refuse"
He then gathered his papers together
and stalked from the capitol. Under

JOHN W. GATES CORN CORNER
COMES To ABRUPT END
SHORTS REACH settlement
July Price Restored by Quick
DrOp-How Many Bushels Were
Subject is Not knOwn-NO Special
Profit VIII Not Exceed 81 100000,
Though the Corner mt One Time
PronaisesI Many Millions Profit.

Chicago, July 15.-The famous John
w. Gates corner in July corn came to
an abrupt termination today when it
became known that shorts to the extent
Of a good ny-million bushels had ef-
fected private settlements with Harris
Gates Co., and that the deal was at an
end so far as the steel magnate was
concerned. The July price responded
to the settlement by a quick drop of
15A cents to 65A. Later it recovered a
fraction and closed at 651z. substantial
~ the price of the cash article.
Just how many bushels were subject
to private settlement will probably
never be known nor is there much
chance that the identity OF the big fel-
lows" in the trade who doubtless con
tributed literally TO the fortunes of Mr..
Gates and the friends associated with
him in the deal. will ever be positively
known.
No special excitement attended the
the man whose property it was. The
trade has all along admitted Mr.. Gates
was right and also his ability to do
what he pleased with corn. Pit trade
during the day was not much over 500.-
600 bushels.
Manager Section would not discuss
the settlement price. The concensus of
opinion among the outsiders was that
Mr.. Gates had demanded either so or 81
cents from the people who were foolish
enough to sell him corn all the way
from 60 cents UP. The length of the
line of July settled for by shorts is also
a matter of more or less conjecture.
Mr.. Scotten said it was several million
bushels" and that the length of the
line had never been over estimated. 1t
has been called as high as 25,0OO,OOO
bushels, but more generally 2O,0OO,OOO
bushels. Since it became possible to
make deliveries On July contracts the
Harris-Gates people have taken in and
paid for about 100000 bushels. This
would leave settlements on some 1I,OOo,-
600 bushels. Tt is estimated that MIR.
Gates profit will not exceed $780, 600.
This amount will be divided up be-
tween ten or a dozen millionarifs who
were interested in the deal. Mr.. Gates
and his friends have between 4,OOO,OOO
and 5000 900 bushels of cash corn which
they must dispose of before the corner
can be called absolutely settled.
The corner at one time promised
MANY millions of profit and the farmer
whose we'll filled cribs line the tracks
of nearly every railroad entering Chi
cago is held responsible for the 'dlsap-
Dointing ending of the corner. There
were substantial resources from the
bumper crop of 1900 and the large yield
of 1901. This corn has been helu Tor

SOUTH AFRICAN TROUBLE.
Settlement of the Annexed Terri
Want to Preserve Nationality.

Pretoria, Transvaal, July 15.-The set
Element OF the annexed territories is
not being accomplished without consid-
cradle friction. This is especially no
ticeable in the bitter hatred and per-
secution on the part of the Beers who
stayed in the field to the end of the
war against the Beers who served as
these national scouts have been shot
or beaten. So intense is the feeling
that many OF the Burghers fought con-
sistently 10 the end TO distinguish
themselves from those who surrendered
during the war by wearing a green
badge.
The Transvaal and Free State CoIors
are also freely Worn, and the custom
is encouraged by the Dutch who did
not take an active part in the war.
Many of the Burghers declare they
were induced to agree TO surrender by
the false representations of their lead
ers who painted the terms too rosily.
Discordant elements are numerous and
any attempt to place the Burghers who
surrendered during the war in author
ity over those who fought throughout
will conceivably result in a renewal OF
hostilities
The majority of the Beers have ap-
parently in no way abandoned their
nationality and some of them preach
the advisability of opening Dutch
schools so as to keep alive their ma
tionality. The whole situation so bris-
ties with difficulties that there are not
lacking those who doubt if the docu-
ment signed May 31st was really the
final settlement of the South African
trouble

Hands Wanted in the Coal Fields.

Roanoke, Va, July Unemployment
agencies in this city are receiving in
quiries for hands from the coal fields

the last few days en- route to different
works in the fields, where they are put

cars loaded is daily increasing and still
the demand for coal is much greater
than the supply. The unusual demand
for men is due to two reasons, one the
