Though Governor Toilette will be
able to control the convention so far

READY TO FIGHT
Chicago Merchants Are
Tired of the Strike.
Bears Broke the July Corn
Corner.
Answer Filed in Suit Against the
Steel Trust.
P0STMASTERS NAMED.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 15.-Eight hun
dred policemen were held in reserve at
down town stations or railroad ware
houses this morning in anticipation of
possible attempt to raise the embar
go on freight occasioned by the freight
handlers strike and the sympathetic
walk-out of teemsters. The situation
Is regarded as even more serious than
yesterday, as the failure of cCVfer-
ences scheduled for today is believed
to mean the merchants, who are suf-
fering a loss of over a million dollars
every day of the strike, would assume
a determined attitude. At meetings
held yesterday the houses in different
lines of business, but especially those
handling perishable goods, declared
their intention of manning their trucks
and attempting to take freight from
the warehouses of railroads. After the
meeting of teamsters last night, when
it was arranged the freight handlers
should make one last proposition to
the managers, the merchants changed
their plans of action to await the re-
suit of the conferences. Few express
the hope these meetings would result
in peace. The men were instructed,
among other things, to demand 17h
cents an hour for truckers and on this
point the railroads have taken a de-
cided stand. Secretary Deyscoll, of the
Team Owners association, is quoted
as saying eight of the railroads are
willing to pay 171s cents, but this be-
ing'true. there would remain eighteen
still pledged to pay no more than IL
cents. Said one wholesaler this morn
ing:
I'VE are waiting the results OF to-
days conference. Should they fail,
then it will be a fight to a finish. We
have got to do business even if the mil
itia has to be called out"
Others expressed themselves in a
similar vein. One man said the fight
will be to completely crush the Team
stears' union. This union, he said,
has broken a contract made only few
weeks ago, and as it could not be re-
lied on to keep contract, nothing re-
mained but to crush it if 1t persisted
in staying out in violation of agree
ments.
The full membership of the state
board of arbitration held a meeting
this morning at which it was planned
to resum active efforts toward con-
ciliation, as directed by Governor
Yates yesterday. A continuance of the
strike threatens to tie up building
operations in the city.
The faint hope of settlement of the
freight handlers strike entertained
this forenoon was dashed shortly after
noon when President Curran received
word the Erie and Santa Fe roads re-
fused to entertain the compromise pro-
posed in the petitions presented by the
committees of strikers. The orth-
western, Wabash and Wisconsin Cen
trai roads told the committees to re-
turn later in the day.

would conduct himself.

WHEATON RETiRES.
The General Reached the Age Limit
Today.

Washington, July 15.-With the re-
tirement of Major General Lloyd
Wheaton, who reached the age limit of
GA years today, the government loses
one of its ablest and most honorable
and useful servants. General Wheaton
retires after forty-one years of militia
ry service-first in 1861 with the
Eighth Illinois infantry in the civil
war, afterward on the Indian frontier
then in the Spanish-American war and
lastly in the Philippines. where he
distinguished himself by gallant serv-
ice.
General Wheaton entered upon his
military career April 29 1861. as first
sergeant of the Eighth Illinois infan-
try In the civil war he was prominent
in many engagements and advanced
rapidly. Three months after his en-.
listment he was promoted to the rank
of first lieutenant of the same regi-
ment. In the following year he be-
came captain, major and lieutenant
colonel Of the Eighth Illinois and at
the close of the war was made brevet
colonel. He was honorably mustered
out May 4, 1865. The following year
General Wheaton was made captain of
the Thirty-Fourth regular infantry and
from that stage of his army life he ad-
vanced until March 80. 1901. when he
was made major general. The work of
General Wheaton in the Philippine
campaign is considered the most bril-
liant Of his military career. He arriv-
ed at Manila February 23, 1899. and
was soon given command of the de
partment of the north Philippines. 1t
was he who originated the idea of
zones of protection which greatly
facilitated the work Of subduing the in
surgent forces.
Accompanying the order from Gen
eral Chaffee which released General
Wheaton from his command was the
following tribute in recognition of his
long years OF excellent service: AS
an instance of military service where
heart and mind have united in joyous
endeayOr for more than fOrty-Oue years

When the storm struck the yacht.
with all canvas flying. it went over in
a flash, illled instantly and left eight
persons struggling tor lie in the wa

shore. The predicament was given
added terror by the fury of the waters
which were lashed by the storm, and
by constant lightning. BY the heroic
efforts of the men. the women were
supported in the water until they were
given a hold on the overturned boat.
The yacht as it left the the moorings
towed along small yawl. This was
dragged under and filled with water,
but the boat men finally righted the
yawl and got all but Cameron and Bar
Der and the two drowned persons into
it. They started for the long row to
shore in the lace of choppy sea and
strong wind. Toward midnight the
heavily laden row boat came creeping
up to the landing with the women in a
state of collapse. Corey was so ex-
hausted he could scarcely move the

yacht and found Cameron and Barber
nearly exhausted and about to drop
from the boat. The bodies OF the two
young persons drowned were found in

the storm broke they were unable to

During the Day.

OuIlnS tnc cdJs
Chicago, ILL.,, July 15.-COrn specula-
tors stopped Immediately upon the
opening of the board of trade today.
The bears had the whip hand and
drove the bulls from their support of
the so-called July corner so sharply
that prices on July corn broke 10 cents
in the frst hour of trade. dropping to
20 cents Less than a fortnight ago
the price was 80 cents and the opinion
is general that the mucE feared corner
is broken. Some of the supposedly
knowing ones intimated, however, that
John w. Gates and his bull crowd still
had some cards to play.
July took a further dip TO 67 cents
before noon This is 10 cents under

July corn continued to break all ses-
sion Shortly before noon 654 cents,
a low price, was reached. 1t closed at
65l2 cents, having lost 1872 cents to-
la and 20l2 cents since yesterdays

General Manager Scotten. OF the
Harri, Gates company, made a state
