SHORTS IN CORN
PIT ARE SQUEEZED
RAISED TUMULT ALMOST EQUAL
TO THE RECENT SCRIMMAGES
WHEN JOHN w. GATES HAD
JULY CORNERED.

Chicago, August 21.-Shorts in the corn
pit were squeezed badly today and raised
a tumult that closely resembled the re-
cent scrimmages when John w. Gates
and his clique of bulls had July corn cor
nered. The action in the pit today was
largely the result of the earlier manlpu-
lations When the Gates crowd was push
ing the price of corn successfully the
farmer took a hand in the business by
sweeping his bins clean of corn and
flooding this market with millions of
bushels. AS a result the corner collapsed
and prices fell headlong until September
corn recently sold at 5Oc. From rampant
bulls the crowd had turned bears to a
man and sold short many bushels. Now
the corn to fill September contracts is
not in sight The bad weather has re-
tarded the maturing OF corn crops until
there has been talk that crops may not
be harvested until hurt by frosts. Under
such conditions shorts want to cover
their contracts. but holders of the grain
are loath to sell.

Chicago, August 21.-The governors of
states of the United States, President
Roosevelt and prominent government OFF,
cials will cooperate and participate in
the production of the international olym-
plan games in 1904. All foreign countries
will be represented. France has promised
to send its army cadets and has asked
for the games in 1908. This much is in
dicated In letters from governors of states
and commanders of national guards
throughout the country. The following
extracts shows the attitude of the Presi-
dent towards the games:
"Gentlemen-I earnestly wish you sue
cess in your undertaking. While I regret
that the United States cannot officially
take charge of or be responsible for the
games, 1 shall do all in my power to con-
tribute to their success, and 1t will give
me pleasure TO open them and to send
to them bodies of United States troops
and United States sailors to take part in
the contests, In which representatives of
the armies and navies of all nations are
expected to enter. / hope these exercises
will include feats of horsemanship and
Workmanship. as well as tests of endur-
ance and strength under service condi-
tions.
with good wishes for your success, I
am faithfully yours,

SEATTLE GETS MEETING.
Feature of Trans-Mississippi Congress
Was Trust Discussion.

st. Paul, Mimi, August H.-Seattle was
tonight selected as the city in which will
be held the next session of the trans
Mississippi congress in 1903. New Or
leans was the only other candidate for
the honor of entertaining the members
The feature of today's session was the
animated discussion of the resolution in
trcduced yesterday by Henry Eustis of
Minneapolis. demanding that the address
of F. 3. Thurber of New York. which Mr.
Eustis' resolution declared was a Plea in
behalf of the so-called beef trust, be
eliminated from the records of the con-
gress.AIr. Eustis argued that the print
ed proceedings of the congress should not
be made the vehicle of disseminating lit
erature of this class. which, ne asserted
did not represent the views of the ma
jority OF the delegates. A number of other
delegates warmly supported Mr. Eustis
while others as warmly opposed him.
Those opposed took the ground that Mr.
Thurber having been invited to address
the congress, was entitled as a matter
ef courtesy to have his remarks embodte,
in the printed proceedings. After much
discussion, which at times became ner-
sonal, Mr.. Eustis withdrew the resolu-
ton.

Washington, August 2l.-(Special.)--
The democratic statesmen who are now
in Washington regard Senator Stewards
latest announcement that Nevada. will
go republican as the source of considera-
Bile amusement. They consider that Ne
vada is as surely democratic as is Texas
or Mississippi, and they have not the
slightest doubt that a democrat will be
Jones and. should Representative New
lands be selected for this honor, as is
substantially certain in case the state
goes democratic. they fully expect that a
good democrat will be elected to sue
ceed Representative Newlands In the
house. Senator Carmack Of Tennessee.
who is chairman of the literature COM
mittee Of the democratic congressional
committee, said today that he did not
believe there was the slightest chance
that Nevada would go republican
"Of course miracles may hapnen," he
said, but with the tide setting in so
strongly In favor of the democratic party
as 1t is now. and against the republican
party because of its broken pledges,
would consider 1t even more a miracle
should Nevada go for the single standard
after having been devoted all these years
to silver There seems to be no doubt
that Representative Newlands will be the
democratic candidate for the senate and
his election is substantially sure l served
with Mr. Newlands In the house for sew
eral years and consider him one of the
most active and useful members of that
body"
Representative Griggs, chairman Of the
democratic congressional committee,
agreed with the view taken by Senator
Carmaclk of the situation in Nevada, and
said without denying anything that Mr..
Stewart had said complimentary to Judge
Hawley at the same time. as the state
Of Nevada was sure to go democratic.
there was no chance of Judge Hawley'3
coming to the senate. Nevada ne said,
'is as rock-ribbed in its democracy as
any state south OF the Mason and Dixon
line. There is not the slightest reason to
doubt that the next legislature will be
.lemocra attic, and as RcpreseD tative New
lands is the choice of his party for the
senate, 1 expect him TO be elected. His
place in the house will undoubtedly be
filled by a good democrat

MURDER is CHARGED
IN REMINGTON CASE
PALMA'S POSITION
MEETS WITH FAVOR
U. s. OFFICIALS FAMILIAR WITH
CUBAN AFFAIRS THINK 1T
WOULD BE UNWisE TO FLOAT
THE BONDS NOW.

Washington, August 21.-The announce
ment from Havana that the Cuban loan
Of $35,0OOo0O might be held up has not
been communicated officially to the
United States government, but the report
that such was the case was received with
considerable favor by officials interested
In Cuban affairs. The United States gov
ernment has given no intimation to Cuba
that the proposed loan did not meet with
favor but the fact that Minister Squiers
dispatch relating to it was communicated
to the treasury department and dis
eussed among officials here as to Its re-
lation with the provisions of the Platt
amendment probably was considered by
President Palma as an unofficial express
sion that the loan was injudicious at this
time
Regarding the proposed tariff in Cuba,
another unofficial intimation has been
made that the changes, owing to the In
creases upon the products of the United
States, probably would injure the pros
poets of reciprocity between the coun-
tries.
