Chicago, March 25.-Sleculation in grains
was Of a sse-saw nature to-day. There was
less force to the markets than on Monday,
leaders We're less active and there was
nothing for the general trade to follow.
Good crop weather and absence of ex-
port business worked against the bulls. and
at the close May wheat was a shade under,
May corn sc lower and May oats sc down.
Provisions closed 2i.c to &C lower
Wheat.
Leaving out crop-damage reports. which
traders in wheat refuse 10 consider seri-
ouSiy. there little news 10 help the
wheat bulls. Cables Were indifferent and
closed somewhat lower. English cables re-
ported caTgoes on passage HAT and New
York had no foreign acceptance over night.
The sentiment prevails that the Continent
hiied up iTetty Well last week on the break.

Oats.
Trade In oats was inclined toward dull
ness. So few people dare to trade in May
oats that orders are hard to execute. Coun-

FLOUR TAX TO STAY.
British Importers Object but Get Little
Satisfaction.

London, May An influential del
egation, representing the -four import
ers of most of the large cities of the
United Kingdom, had an interview
with the chancellor of the exchequer,
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, to protest
against the taxation of flour, which,
the delegates said, would seriously af-
feet the extent of their trade.
The chancellor, in replying, pointed
out that the deputation represented
solely wheat -four, and that it was i'm
possible to consider the grain and
meat duties entirely from that point OF
view. 1t was impracticable, in impos-
ing duties on grain, to differentiate be-
tween grains. The imports of flour,
compared with the imports of wheat,
had grown enormously in recent years,
and he did not think it was to the ben
eft of the people Of the country He
had reduced the duty on offals, so
that the -four importers were now bet
ter off than under the late Mr.. Glad
stones tax, and he doubted whether
they were entitled to further advan-

t''J N'S' 'S't.S'"
Duluth, May 1.-The strike Of the
lorgshoremen for 60 cents an hour,
an advance of 10 cents, continues with
no apparent sign of yielding on the
part of either the men or the vessel
owners. More lumber boats arrived
during the day and more than twenty
are now in the harpor. They are load
ing with their own crews, which is
necessarily slower work.
The strike of the tug firemen is also
unsettled, but the tugs are running,
having been able to procure all the
men they need and more. A possible
complication is in sight, however, that
will result in general strike on the
Great Lakes Towing companys tugs
along the entire chain of lakes.
Little can be learned Of what it is,
but it is limited that the licensed Tug

cludes the masters and engineers, is

and order a general strike. Little

TWO WILL FAIL.
Senate Committee Will Report Favor
ably the Reciprocity Treaties
in Their Hands
Provision that Both House and Senate
Shall Act Upon Them Before
p They Take Effect
Wool and Sugar Interests May Defeat
Proposed Treaties With Ar
gentine and Jamaica.

Washington, May 1.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has
agreed to report favorably all the reci-
procity treaties except the treaty with
Argentine and the treaty with Great
Britain which the committee decided
to report adversely.
The treaties on which favorable re-
ports were recommended were those
with France, Nicaragua, Ecuador and
the Dominican republic and four with
Great Britain covering Bermuda, Bar
BADGES, British Guiana, Turks and
Coicos islands. All the treaties upon
which favorable reports are to be
made are to be amended in accordance
with previous agreement by adding
the provisions:
"This treaty shall not take effect un-
til the same shall have been. approved
by the congress"
The effect of this amendment is to
require the house of representatives as
Well as the senate to act upon the
treaties before they can become effec-
tive. The defeat of the treaty with the
Argentine Republic was due largely to
the fact that large quantities of wool
are produced in that country, while
the opposition to the Jamaican treaty
was largely on account of citrus fruits
and sugar.
The treaties with Nicaragua and
Ecuador have expired, but the COM
mittee proceeded on the theory that
favorable action would have the eff
feet of renewing them so far as this
country is concerned.

Rumor That General DeIarey Had Sur

London, May 1.-There is no truth
in the report circulated in the United
States that General Delarey, with
three Boer commands has surrender
ed to the British in South Africa. IL
Z The war Office received dispatches
from Lord Kitchener during the day
but he made no mention of surrenders.

BY STRICT PARTY VOTE.
Philippine Committee Decides Not to
- Subpoena AguinaIdo.

Washington, May 1.-The commit
tee on Philippines of the senate, by a
strict party vote, refused to subpoena
Major Cornelius Gardner, Aguinaldo,
Sixto Lopez and Mabini.
Soon after the Philippine bill was
taken up in the senate Mr. Patterson
(Colo.) offered resolution reciting
that by a partisan vote the committee
on Philippines had refused to request
the secretary of war to cable for Major
Gardner to come at once to Washing
ton. The resolution called upon the
secretary of war to cable orders for
Gardner's immediate return.
Objection was made to the consid-
GRAFTON of the resolution but it was dis
cussed at some length.
Mr.. McComas objected to the reflec-
tion on the committee in the word
partisan"
Mr.. Allison jocularly suggested that
it was the minority that was acting in
a partisan" manner, as the majority
could not get the minority to agree to
the course which was thought to be
most WISE
