OATS WENTUP TO72 CENTS
HIGHEST PRICE IN HISTORY OF
BOARD OF TRADE YESTERDAY.
Manipulation by Patteis Of Evanston
Was the Cause--rlittle Trading
and No Excitement.
Especial to The Post)


Chicago, July 25.--The record price on oats
was made In 1864, during the war, when the
market was forced up to 81 cents. Today,
however. under the spur Of the quiet hut
effective Patten manipulation. the grain
was put up to II cents, which is the highest
point in the history Of the board OF trade.
The advance was scored with very little
trading and scarcely any excitement Ia the
pit. There was not thing of Importance

TO BOYCOTT STREET CARS
NEW ORLEANS NEGROES PROTEST
AGAINST SEPARATE CAR LAW.
Claim They VIII Form a Company to
Run Vehicles Exclusively for the
Coored People,
Special TO The post.l

New Orleans, July 25.-Last night big
mass meeting OF the leading negroes Of New
Orleans was held for the purpose OF OPP
ing separate street cars for whites and
blacks and there was much fervid oratory
to the effect that the law was an insult To
the entire African race and that the colored
man is sadly abused individual. James
Lewis, who Ia one Of the most prominent
OF the local negroes, advised the raising Of
fund with which TO attack the constitu
tlonaity of the law In the courts, but this
idea did not meet with favor because the
constitutlonality of such measures has been
settled by n decision of the United States
supreme court In connection with what is
known as the Mississippi Jim crow law"
requiring steam railroads in that State to
provide separate cars for white and negro
passengers,
The meeting finally determined to or
ganlEe stock company TO run vehicles
throughout the city for the exclusive ac
commodation Of colored people. No obJec.

Possibility Of a Revolution in the Round
BaIinu OF the Texas Crop--A Planter
Can Operate It.

Mr. E. Reagan of Floresville is stopping
at the Lawlor. Mr. Reagan is man Of
perhaps 81 years OF age. nm inventor, ne
chanic and machinery expert. Some months
ago he applied to n certain firm for posi-
ton as salesman for their patent oil burner.
They placed his application on lille Be
fore he heard from them he had perfected
an oil burner Of his own, which IL now on
the market, and is already u distinct sue
cess.
similar incident led Mr.. Reagan to
attempt the invention of an improved cot
ton compress. About two years ago he was
conversing with an agent Of the American
Compress company, and modestly pointed
out in their machine what he considered
defects. The agent laughed and suggested
that the stranger attempt the improve
ments suggested, remarking that his COM
pany would doubtless reward him hand
somelr.
Mir, Reagan was at that time at work on
his designs and two years from the time
that conversation took place he had per
feCted his compress and entered the helG

CANADIAN FAST SERVICE
NEW STEAMSHIP LINE TO OPPOSE
MORGAN INTERESTS.
The British Government viii Pay a
Heavy Subsidy to the Owners
OF the Ships.

London, July 25,-An announcement from
Montreal by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy,
president of the Canadian Pacific, that
that road has at the request of the Ca
madam ministers now in London offered to
establish and work weekly fast service
between Quebec and Liverpool In the sum
mer and between Halifax and Liverpool In
the winter with good freight service,
placing In commission feet of steamers
second to none ahoat as regards speed and
equipment, is causing considerable stir in
England, where It Is hailed with delight as
being an Offset to j. y. Morgan's shipping
combine. The evening papers have fam
ing placards reading English Combination
to Fight the American Trust"
The officials OF the Canadian Pacific rail
road deny that they have any such intcp,
tiOn but they, as well as others, believe
that the long discussed Canadian fast serv-
ice Is finally approaching realization. The
chief indication of this is the fact that the
offer was made by the Canadian Pacific
railroad az the instance of the Canadian
ministry now here and that they were fully
aware of the conditions the imperial gov
eminent is prepared to accede to-
Lord Stratchona and Mount Royal the
Canadian high commissioner, Is an inter.
add to the Information already published
the terms mentioned seem reasonable and
probable The members of the Dominion
government some years ago were author
ICED by the Canadian parliament to orer Il
subsidy OF Sl50,000 for this purpose. SO
far as l know this offer has not been IN
creased. The subsidy Of $4,000 shows an
advance over the original Offer but 1t al
ways has been understood Great Britain
would supplement Canada's offer, though /
am not advised to what extent"
One of the Canadian Pacific directors con
hrmed TO a representative of the Assocat-
cd Press every particular OF the Canadian
pacifcs offer TO build and operate sub
sdized line and both he and others irter-
ested were confident that tie project Will
he accomplished. The chief requirement
OF the imperial government will be tnal
the steamers shall become auxiliary cruis
ers, the same as the Canadian Pacific raii
