 MT. Thyson said he knew Of no blind poole in St. Louis formed to corner De- cember corn.
 cIeage Makes Statement.
 St. Louis, December 17.-Thomas A. Cleage leader of the December corn deal. was the target for speculative bombard- ment in today's market. While Cleage was at no time active in the market, he made occasional purchases on the recessions. Advices were received after the market had closed to the effect that the firm of w. W. NcCleary 6 Co. members of the Chicago Board of Trade, had suspend ed. MT. Cleage said;
 'The A1ccleary suspension does not af- feet me in the least. I had no interest in the concern All of my trades with 1t have been transferred to other commission houses in Chicago. understand that the firm was unable to secure margins for trades made through it by New York traders.

J. Reiff Is Exonerated From Charge of
 Pulling St. saulge.


 Paris. December 17.-J. Reih, the Amer ican jockey. today was awarded S2OO damages by the Ninth Correctional tri- bunal in his case against the Vie Au Grandair, arising from that papers charges that the jockey pulled Saint saulge
 number of owners and trainers testi- fled that they had employed Reiff as jockey. They said they had examined his English references before doing so' and had found them to be excellent. They never had cause to complain of Reiff' riding, and said they did not believe he had pulled the horse in question. The trainer of Saint Saulge declared the horse to be unreliable and said he never trusted him. He ran very badly the day of the race because he was i'll. The owner of Saint Saulge said he was sur prised the horse had lost, as he believed he had a good chance of winning. and he had been ridden by the best jockey in France. The owner said he had investi- gated the reason why the horse lost and had come to the conclusion that Rein had ridden him too hard at the start and had used the whip too much. He testi- fled also that he did not think Saint Saulge had been pulled up and that Reifr had ridden for him subsequently,

MOBILE WIPES OUT HER DEBT.
Was Case In Which Large Strip of
 Property Was In Question.

Mobile, December 1.-The Supreme court of Alabama has affirmed the decis- ion of the Mobile Circuit court in favor of the citS against Mary L. Turner, the city's claim to riparian lands being dis puted by Mrs Turner, she claiming in- terest on certain lands for possession of which the city had gained suit in the lower court. The act incorporating Mo- bile gave to the city certain lands to the water line, and in years that passed the river has moved eastward and the ex- posed land has been built upon, wharves erected, etc. The city now claims own ership all along the river front, includ- ing much valuable property occupied by railroads, ship docks, marine railways warehouses, etc.
 The decision in Mrs Turner's case will be cited in a number of suits yet to be pushed to conclusion by the city. It is said that enough value will be realized to extinguish the old city debt, amount ing to $2, 400, 900.

ENGLAND 6LUNDERED.
Sir Robert GlffIn critlcises Foreign
 Office for Combination.

London, December 1.-The Times today gives prominence to a letter from Sir Robert Giffen declaring that the foreign office gravely blundered in associating it. self with Germany against Venezuela. Sir Robert contends that blockade will De use against bankrupt state, while the seizures of the customs will be tanta- mount to annexation and full of danger, considering the peculiar relations of Ven- ezuela with the United States. "FurtheR" continues the writer, however much we may bring Venezuela to it's knees, no sol- vent government will remain with which to deal.'
 Sir Robert strikes his most alarming note when he refers to the danger of Germans embroiling Great Britain with the United States. He believes that Ger many would not hesitate to occupy Vene- zuelan territory, and he thinks the less said about British claims the better. He says he doubts if Great Britain has any good moral claims against Venezuela and concludes with these words:
 "The best course if to cry keep off at all hazards and at the utmost exact punishment for the injured seamen by getting hold, if possible. of the guilty Venezuelan officials"
 The Times, without indorsing Sir Rob- ert's gloomy views, and while it repudi- ates his suspicious of Germany, says 1t cannot hide from itself either the actual or contingent difficulties involved in this most disagreeable undertaking.

Chicago, December 17.-Bulls and bears of the Chicago Board of Trade had sharp and decisive struggle over Decem- Der today. ". ". Mecleary & Go. failed to respond to margin calls and the so- called blind pool" headed by Thomas A. Cleage of St. Louis, suffered a severe setback. December corn reeeded almost cents during the day and showed break of about T cents since earlier in the morning. MT. Clearge declared that he would pay dollar for dollar and that he would probably be ready for business to- morrow. He said his order to have all his trade closed was forced because of exees- sive calls upon him for margins. Mr. Me- Cleary is a brother-in-iaw Of MT. Cleage. MT. Cleage's pool has about 5000 mem- bers. He has been operating in St. Louis, Kansas and Chicago ana at one time IS said to have had as much as 100000 bushels in the three markets and 4000- 900 bushels in Chicago.
