Mr.. Hitchcock's case is peculiar one

Washington, April 23.-Representative
Stevens saw the war department to-day
about the plans submitted by Colonel
Pond, chief quartermaster of the depart
ment Of Dakota, for the construction Of
additional buildings and increasing the
water supply at Fort Smelling. The plans
have been approved by Major Rubin, in
change of construction work in the de-
paftment, who says they are the best and
most complete of any.
Quartermaster General Lndington has
also affixed his o. K to them and they
have been verbally approved by Adjutant
General Corbin and Assistant Secretary
Sanger, and are now on Secretary Roots
desk waiting for his return from Cuba.
What VIII BE Done.
The plans contemplate the expenditure
Of about 100000, of which between $780,
900 and 100000 will be expended during
the remainder of the current and in the
next fiscal year. Mr.. Stevens believes he
can induce the secretary to allot some Of
the funds now available to preliminary
work. SO that it can be begun at once.
The military appropriation bill Just
passed by the house provides for money
for the next fiscal year, which begins
July !. The secretary cannot make any
contracts, Fntil that time 81, This dificulty

How Wheat Went Up Over Two

How Wheat Went Up Over Two
Cents in Chicago.
Chicago, April 23-Grain spectators on
the Chicago Board Of Trade caught the
dry weather scare to-day and in spite of
the fact that rains fell over most of the
suffering winter wheat country, started in
to bull prices.
For several days past an extremely
nervous feeling has pervaded the grain
pits and traders have been fearing an
upheaval In speculation. When it was
learned to-day that the recent rains had
not been sufficient to relieve the dan
gerous condition of the wheat and oats
fields, nlanipulators took advantage to
pinch the shorts and with one accord
everybody turned to the buying side.
Outside, markets, especially in the
southwest. were fearful of the crop con-
dition and showed their belief by sending
prices upwards. The situation in the
cash grain market also augmented the
bullsh theories. May wheat opened
selling at TIC and closing INC up at 1880.
July options closed 2asc higher at 1870
7sAc and September 2Ac higher at 78Ac.
The influence of the wheat advance was
also felt in the other grains. Corn was
being bulled enthusiastically by lead
ing commission-house, and reports had 1t
that Wall street was in the market for
bull turn. May corn made jump Of
21sc. closing at 64sc, and May oats 1850
higher at 445Ac.

FREE: HAND
President Cancels Former
Order and Moros Must
Come to Terms.

Washington, April 23.-The war de-
partment to-day made public the tele-
graphic cable correspondence on the
Moro outbreak in Mindanao. The impor-
tant feature is the closing chapter show
ing that General Davis expedition is not
arbitrarily stopped, but that General
Chaffee is allowed to exercise his dis
erection. It is believed that the presence
Of Governor Taft in Washington is the
explanation Of the presidents decision
that. General Chaffee shall confer with
the acting head Of the Philippine commits
sion before adopting hostile tactics.
The correspondence begins with the
cablegram dated Manila, April Is, In
which General Chaffee recites the killing
OF the first American soldier near Mala-
bang and the forming Of an expedition
under Baldwin to arrest the murderers.
In answer to this the following dispatch
was sent:
& Washington, April, 20.-Chaffee, Manila: The
expedition ordered under Baldwin will not
leave the coast until you hear from here.
This will not, however, interfere with COM
plete: separation. -Corbin.
On April % the following cablegram
was sent to Gen. Chafee:
The president is anxious that no expedi-'
ton be made against the Moros until all eff
forts by negotiations have been exhausted. To
this end he desires that you confer freely
with the acting civil governor. In the event
the force has to be sent he directs that it
go under the immediate command Of General
Davis The president will give you all sup
port, but desires the exercise of great care
and prudence. If possible avoid by all hon
orable means general war. "a e. -Corbin.
Chaffee. Manila-With reference to previous
cables on the subject, it has been suggested
to the president that possibly the surrender
of the Moro murderers might be effected by
the fundamentally of friendly dattos. The
president desires that this be considered in
conference with Wright and to have an as
surance that every honorable peaceful remedy
has been exhausted. -Corbin.
General Chaffee responded to the last
cablegram. stating that to withdraw all
the American forces would be dangerous
To this statement the following re-
Spouse was made to-day:
Your cable of yesterday has been submitted
to the president, who directs that you keep
in mind the presidents orders, but OF course
do nothing that will impair our prestige or
in any way imperil the army. II, after the
expiration OF the time named in your procla-
nation and after all possible diplomatic ana
friendly methods have been exhausted, your
demand for the Moro murderers has not been
met, you will act upon the lines that In your
Judgment will best serve to bring peace and
order in the island OF Mindanao: -Corbin.

Opposition to the Bill Comes Chiefly
From Ship Owners. @

building, Warrington.
Washington, April 23.-The opposition
in the house to the London landing clause
bill yesterday was led by the solid New
York and New England delegations, which
have opposed the bill from the start on ac-
count of their interest in ship owning
constituents. General Grosvenor opposed
the bill because as chairman of the mer-
chant marine and fisheries committee, he
has been for years champion of subsidy
and other legislation favored by steam
ship companies.
There was an echo Of beet sugar fight
in Yesterdays debate and vote. The
lines Of opposition to the bill were
definitely drawn months ago and have not
been changed.

WHEAT GETS A MOVE ON
A Bulge of More Than Two Cents
To-day.

An old fashioned bull wheat movement
broke loose on change this morning. May
wheat advanced 21a cents from yesterday
and July wheat advanced "a cents. The
pit was very active and there was more.
excitement than has been seen since the
summer of 1900, when there was drought
in the northwest. The bull turn now is on
news Of great damage to winter wheat,
especially in Kansas. 1t is predicted that
there will be another wild time like that
Of 1900, unless rain falls soon and relieves
the situation Fifteen days ago May wheat
sold in Minneapolis at 691S cents. To-day
it closed with anxious bidders for it at
1875 cents. July wheat closed to-day at
771k cents. What the finish will be no one
pref ends to say. It all depends upon the
rains. The southwest must have rain
very soon to insure a crop, and should
there be no heavy fall for week or SO,
the market may boil as the damages be-
come more extensive.

THINK, But
DON'T TALK
President Finds It Necessary
to Muzzle General
Funston.
Must Not Make Breaks, Even
in the Administrations
Defense.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, April 23.-Walter Wellman in
his Washington correspondence to the
Record Herald, says: General Funston
is the latest army officer to receive yir-
tually a reprimand at the hands of
President Roosevelt. The Kansas briga-
dier-general must stop talking. Ofhcial
orders to this effect were sent him to-
day.
After the cabinet meeting it was learned
that President Roosevelt had decided to
curb General Funston's ambition to APP
pear before the public with comments on
questions, relating to the Philippines.
Accordingly dispatch was sent to Cen
eral Funston at Denver, informing him
that leave of absence could not be
granted for the purpose Of attending the
banquet of the Middlesex club at Boston,
and also instructing him that it was the
further publicly discuss Philippine affairs
till after he received letter which the
president has sent him..
Members of the cabinet say President
Roosevelt has for some time felt annoy
ance over the free and easy manner in
which General Funston was talking, and
that he was particularly displeased with
the statement credited to the general a
few days ago that Senator Hoar was SUI
fering from an over heated conscience" In
President Roosevelt's opinion this was
in bad taste and altogether beyond the
proper function of an army officer.
President Roosevelt has also been dis
turbed by the criticism that he permits
General Funston to talk with the utmost
freedom, because he stands UP for the
army end of the Philippine discussion,
while he censures General Miles for doing
the same thing, only on the other side.
The president wishes it to be distinctly
understood that his rule to army and navy
| officers is don't talk unless you are off,
cially called upon to do So and that it
does not matter what their views may be.
It is safe to say that nothing further will
