DOUBT ARMOUR WHEAT CORNER.
Members of New York Exchange Do
Not Credit Story

New York, Nov. members of the
produce exchange said yesterday that
they attach no credence to the story
from Chicago to the effect that Armour
was trying to effect a corner in wheat
and that he had picked up the 100000
bushels thrown overheard by J. A.
Patten last week. 1t would be easier,
they say, to corner December wheat
in New York than in Chicago, but thai
it was not at all likely that any corner
could be successfully effected either
here or in Chicago. 1t was reported
on the produce exchange today that
Armour was buying December wheat
and selling May. The break of half a
cent on December and of quarter
of a cent on May today was owing,
so it is said, to disappointing cables
and lack of demand.
Chicago wheat traders have been
looking for signs of Armour's manipu
lation of December wheat, but for the
past week they have been unable to
get any positive evidence of concen-
tration by Armour or any other large
operator. They say it is among the
possibilities, but few believe it prob
ability.

The Doukhobor Pilgrims in
Search of the Messiah on
Verge of Collapse
ARE CLEANING WHEAT FIELDS
Wheat Gathered From the stubbIe
Practically All the Food They Have
Scores of the Marchers Have Fallen
to Die on the Piains-Many Now Vio-
lently Insane.

Winnipeg, Man, Nov. 4.-The Douk-
of the new Messiah are now on the
verge of starvation and death. Today
occasional wheat fields through which
the fanatics passed were CLEANED by
the vanguards. The wheat they gath
cred is used as food and it is all they
have to live on.
Reports received today from the last
stopping place of the Russians indicate
| that the end is near. Scores of the
pilgrims have fallen on the plains, and
despite the exhorting of Leader Iii
broff, many were talking of turning
back to their homes Zibroff has told
them that there will be no winter, and
that the present fine weather is but a
continuation of the summer that Will
/, last until their search for the Mes
siah is rewarded.
| Following in the wake of this strange
army of pilgrims are scores of sane
iDoukhobors, who, night and day, plead
with the misguided ones to return be-
fore sickness and death seiZes them.
When the army of fanatics reached
Binscarth yesterday afternoon the con-
dition of many of them gave indication
of an early collapse. Half of the Rus
slams marched nearly 200 miles with
out food or sleep, in their bare feet and
wearing only trousers and shirts. The
nights were bitter cold and when the
march was resumed at sunrise, in the
cold gray mornings some of them with
feet raw and bleeding as a result of
walking in the prairie grass, which
cuts like knife, fell down on the spot
from which they had arisen, mingling
means with their prayers. After sew
eral efforts they would stagger after
their more fortunate brethren, whose
religious fever made them oblivious to
all pain.
When the Russians left Yorkton they
We're absolutely without provisions.
Their insanity increased as they
marched, for their leaders issued an
edict for them to throw away every
thing in the shape Of clothing, except
enough to cover their nakedness. Near
ly all obeyed.. The piteousness of their
condition beggars description. Three
men went violently insane and turned
back to Yorkton. Some dissension
broke out among the leaders, but it
did not last long, and the fanatics, in
the last stages of exhaustion, staggered
rather than walked forward, chanting,
ever chanting.
A detachment of mounted police is
following the Russians, but has taken
no action to diSband or dispense them
as yet.
The authorities will tomorrow at
tempt to take the women and children,
now under cover at Yorkton, by special
train to Swan River, thence by wagons
to their deserted villages. It is hoped
this action will have some effect on the
wanderers. Resistance is expected
when the order is given to entrain.

No Bets on johnson,

Columbus, o. Nov. 4.-Before the
party managers left for their homes
last night to vote no unusual devel-
opments were reported anywhere in
this state. The democratic managers
still persist that there may be a sur
prise in the vote on the state ticket,
and that they will gain three congress-
men, surely two. The present Ohio DEL
egation in congress consists of seven
teen republicans and four democrats.
Chairman Dick, before leaving for
Akron this afternoon, said he expected
a republican gain of one by A. II. jack
son refeating Congressman James A.
Norton in the Thirteenth district. While
Chairman Dick has not changed his
estimate of 10000 plurality on the
state ticket, there are others at the
republican state headquarters who pre-
dict that the plurality of Laylin over
Bigelow for secretary of state will APP
proximate 100000. The republicans
express more confidence tonight than
usual on the eve of battle, and offer
bets at such odds as were never heard
of in Ohio heretofore. Altho the talk
of the campaign has been about John
son succeeding Hanna, and afterward
becoming presidential nominee, no
bets have been made on Johnson as
Hanna's successor in the senate.
