CHICAGO, July 12.-Corn is worth more
than wheat. For ten days it has main
tanned a price so high it sets all Board
of Trade ideas topsy-turvy. In years such
a relation has only twice occurred and at
other time did it last longer than a
few minutes. The situation is one of the
wonders of the modern commercial world.
And the reason for it is even more strik-
ing than the fact. For corn has been
rushed to its high price by means of the
manipulation of the strongest and richest
ring of spectators who ever Joined hands
to bull markets and drive bears to de-
struction.
1t is a purely speculative deal, straight
away battle between a set of men who have
deliberately cornered the market, on one
side, and on the other the elevator men and
grain dealers who Systematically hedge
their holdings by selling short. with an ad-
diton, few spectators who picked the
wrong side. Never before have operations
been carried on with such complete securi-
ty and confidence. Compared with the pres
ent deal, that of Joseph Letter in wheat
was retail trade. Compared with the
finances of the present bull pool those of
the deposed Corn King" Phillips of last
year were as pin money to bank accounts.
Twenty million bushels of corn have been
bought by the ring for delivery to it during
the present month, and in the first ten
days of the month only 100000 bushels
of the amount had been turned over, al
though the shorts are straining every point

selves from ruin.
Fifteen more business days remain in
the month, and during that time 100000
bushels of corn of contract grade must be
brought to Chicago and delivered or else
the penalty must be paid.
In the last forty days the men of the pool
have been reentlessy. persistently forcing
up the price of corn. They have sent it up 80
cents in forty days. They have made prices
jump so that even hardened operators call
it "a wicked DEAL

In the effort to save Gilmore 325 men got themselves in a place where they were mighty anxious for some one to save them.
 There was one other incident in con- nection with their life on Kamiguin that illustrates the usefulness of Ari- zona cowboys in various ways. Two of them were in the service on the Charleston. Mir Wilson does not re- member their names, but he thinks they came from Phoenix. On the island there chanced to be a few wild cattle, little bits of animals about the size of a good range calf. These cow boys spent their time lurking behind trees with a rope and waiting for the cattle, which were wild as deer, to pass their way They would get an animal occa sionally. and then there would be meat enough at the next meal so the entire 325 men could at least get look at it.

GOING TO TOMBSTONE

Carl Behn, who has bean with the New York store for over three years. will leave this evening tor Tombstone to engage in business for himself. He has formed corporation, of which pr. J. Wix Thomas of this city is presi- dent, MT. Behn being secretary and treasurer. The company proposes to engage in the general merchandise bus mess on an extensive scale, and has already secured a long lease on suit able store building and ordered its stock, which is new arriving.
 The future Of Tombstone being now assured, there will be no doubt a rapid growth in the city, and the business in terests of the place will keep pace with the expansion and development of the mining interests. Of MT. Behn's abil- ity to handle a large business there is no question, as it is no experiment with him. He is a merchant by nature, and has fitted himself in that line by many years of experience, and has been emirently successful. There is no doubt that he will make the new enter prise one of the humming business in stitutiOns of the resurrected capital of Cochise county.
 In leaving Phoenix MT. Behn bids adieu to scores of friends who with The Republican wish him the greatest possible success.

IN THE NAVAL SERVICE
Arizonians Who Saw the Cruiser
 Charleston Sink Off Luzon.

Warrant Machinist James Wilson of the United States navy arrived here yesterday and is stopping at the Hotel Adams. He comes in advance of Lieu tenant James P. Morton, who will ar rive here on the 25th on recruiting duty and remain till the 2Sth, for the pur- pose of enlisting those who are com petent and who desire a life on the ocean wave in the service of their coun- try.
 Lieutenant Morton was on board the cruiser Marblehead during the Cuban campaign, and is a capable officer and popular with those who serve under him. MT. Wilson. who has been with him in Texas on recruiting duty, escort ed a number of new recruits 10 San Francisco ana has just returned from there. He served in the Philippines during the Filipino insurrection, ar irving there just a month after the bat tie of Manila bay.
 He is at home here, as he was for mer Arizonian, having previous to his enlistment resided in Prescott, where he was employed as machinist. When he arrived here yesterday the first man
 
 foreman in the S. F. P. & P. car shops here, the two having been bosom friends for many years. MT. Wilson. though not an Annapolis graduate, has made rapid advancement in the ser vice, and says he enjoys that sort of a life. He entered before the mast about five years ago, and has been promoted to position of responsibility and good refnllnPra tiOn he ha reason for being dissatisfied.
 When asked last evening by a report CT to relate something of his experi- ences in the service he modestly said that while he had seen many thrilling things in the last few years about the only thing he knew of that would prove interesting to others was the story of the sinking of the Charleston November 2, 1889, off the north coast of Luzon. He was an engineer on the ship at the time. and says that the in- cident is one that could not help but make an impression on his mind, as it was too close a call to be comforta- ble. There were 1925 officers and men on board, and the fifteen life boats just about held the men and 1oated nicely without taking on much of either provisions or water, and but few arms. But if they had had hundred boats there would have been little time to load them, for the Charleston began the business of sinking very soon after she struck on the uncharted reef. Mir. Wilson pays high compliment to Captain George y. PigInan. who. he says, was the last man to leave the ship, and he didn't leave it minute

too soon. His exhibition of bravery and self-possession made a deep im-
 precision on his men.
 After they had left the sinking ship
 they sighted land about thirty miles
 away and pulled for it. It proved to
 be a small island called Plus the Fifth, named after one of the popes, and it was absolutely barren. But they landed anyway, for any kind of land
 looked good to them. Here they lived for two days in a way that would have made Robinson Crusoe jealous of his reputation, for they didn't have even Q goat, and there was no fresh water to
 be found. From there they sighted the island of Kamiguin and embarked for it. Landing they expected trouble, for it was peopled with hostile natives and they had but few weapons. How ever, there was good water and a lib eral supply of bananas and cOcOanuts. which made them feel like there was something worth fighting for if neces- sary. But they had no trouble with the natives: on the contrary a few days later became sufficiently friendly to buy five chickens from them. These five chickens were made into soup for 325 men,. It was pretty thin, but they thought how much thinner it would have been if they didn't have any chickens, and thanked their good for
 tune for the luxury.
 As they did not want to spend the rest of their lives there eating bananas and cocoanuts they rigged up one sal boat, put her in charge of Lieutenant Mcdonald and five men, gave them all the solid food they had left ana started them off to Manila. In four teen days the gunboat Helena rescued them and took them to Manila, where
