day, nothing being done in the deal so far

the price settled back to 65I4c and closed at
65ssc
The wisdom of the bull leaders in aban-
doning the corner two weeks in advance
of its natural termination was shown when
the inspection sheet was posted. showing
fresh receipts OF 453 cars on Chicago side
tracks. OF this total, 145 cars were con-
tract grade, which the leaders would have
been obliged to take as a means of sup
porting the July price. Otherwise it would
have been bought in the open cash market
by shorts and turned in to the Harris-Gates
office in settlement of contracts There
were also III cars Of the contract grade
made" in the different cleaning and dry
ing houses. making about 10000 bushels
OF the contract grade from all sources.
Being out OF the deal, the bull leaders were
relieved OF the unpleasant necessity of TAX
ing care of this vast quantity of corn. The
cash market was frmer than the day be-
fore though not particularly brisk
Almost everybody about the board had a
different theory to exploit as to the win
nings or losses of the Gates syndicate A
consensus of the best opinion. however was
that the syndicate was nominally a little
ahead on its deal as 10 the July delivery
but stood TO suffer a substantial loss i'm the
marketing of its 100000 bushels or so OF
cash corn which IL had been forced 10 ac-
cumulate. In view of this fact and the
strong probabilities that this corn cannot
be prohtably disposed OF. the corner as A
whole. is not looked on as an unqualified
success.

entrance. 1t was brief meeting, only
long enough for an angry speech by Cur
ran and <he vote which followed. Men, -
said Curran, I'VE came out like men; we
have acted like men. and we should not go
back like sheep, but there has been
treachery in our camp. Yesterday, when
l was about to use the telephone, the wire
got crossed and | heard one of the mem
bers of our executive committee talking
with a railroad manager He was encour-
aging the manager to hold out, for he told
him that the strike was almost broken
That is a sample of the faith that has been
kept with me. The officials of the Truck
Drivers Union have not kept faith either
and it seems useless to continue the fight
any longer. Shall We go back and ask for
our old jobs?''
In this simple form the matter was put
TO a vote, and almost Immediately great
chorus of yes had brought to a peaceful
end one of Chicagos most serious and
threatening labor situations. Mr.. Curran
Ia the course Of his address to the men,
said: Il am going 10 organize the freight
handlers all over the country and when we
decide TO fight again it will not be strug-
gle between the freight handlers in Chicago
and the railroads, but between the railroads
and the freight handlers all over the
country"
The proposition accepted by the men was,
in effect. the one given to President Curran
by the State Board of Arbitration earlier
in the day, although the proposition in Its
proper form was not placed before the men.
The proposition follows:
after a thorough investigation of the pres
ent freight handlers strike in Chicago and
of the complications which have grown out
of that strike, recommends to the officers
and members Of the five local unions of the
Interior Freight Handlers and Warehouse
mems Union of America that the men re-
turn Immediately TO their respective places
of employment and apply for the positions
held by them previous TO the strike We
further recommend that the employees OF
each of the several railroads appoint a
committee to confer with the management
of the railroad by which they are en-
ployed for the purpose of adjusting exist
ing difficulties"

SECRETARY ROOTS REVIEW.
Conditions Which Resulted I'm the
Court-MartfaI ExpIafned.

Following is the review of Secretary
Root. under date of the War Department
Washington. July Il:
ITO the President: l transmit herewith
the proceedings on the trial of Brig Gen
jacob H Smith by court-martial convened
under your orders dated April 21 1902 and
now brought before you reviewing au-
thority.
General Smith was found guilty of con-
duct to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline in that he gave in the
fall OF 1901, TO Major l.. w T. Waller. of
the marine corps, then serving with a bat
mander or the Sixth separate brigade in
Samar. the following oral Instructions:
+" i want no prisoners / wish you TO kill
and burn, the more you kill and burn the
better you will please me- and further
that he wanted all persons killed who were
capable OF bearing arms and in actual hos
ulltieS against me United States; and did
IN reply 10 a question by Major Waller
asking for an age limit. designate the limit
as ten years OF age.
The court sentenced him 10 be admon-
tshed by the reviewing authority: and the
court appended 10 the sentence the follow
ing explanation: The court is thus lenient
In view OF the undisputed evidence that the
accused did not mean everything that his
unexplained language implied: that his sub
ordinates did not gather such a meaning
and that the orders were never executed
IN such sense, Notwithstanding that a des-
perate struggle was being conducted with
cruel and savage foe
CONVICTION WAS JUST.
An examination OF the evidence has
satisfied me that the conviction was iust
and that the reasons stated for the very
light sentence imposed are sustained bv
the facts. General Smith. in his conver-
sation with Major Waller. was guilty Of
Incorporate. incOnsiderate and violent ex-
pressions. which. II accepted literally
would grossly violate the humane rules
governing American armies in the field.
and II followed would have brought last
ing disgrace on the military service Of the
United States. Fortunately they were NOT
taken literally and were not followed No
women or children or helpless persons or
noncombatants or prisoners were put to
death In pursuance OF them
An examina tiOn OF the record and pro
ceedings on the trial OF Major Waller
which imediately preceded those OF Gen

IN question bore no relation TO the acts
for which Major Waller was tried and
were not alleged by him as Justification
