CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
THR0NGED BY MOB

CHICAGO. June 1s.-The corn pit was
again the scene of a turbulent mob OF
grain spectators today Prices scared
skyward under the manipulation of the
crowd that has cornered July options and
as quickly dropped with a thud.
In the first ten minutes advances Of 1-2
were made.
In the next hour prices slumped cents.
All sorts Of conjectures were made as to
the final outcome of the corner. Private
elevators are making contract corn as
fast as possible In order to grade in and
overcome the congested condition. Coun-
try markets are rushing corn here to take
advantages of the prices" but opposed
to this movement is the bull operator who
is buying up cash stuff and selling 1t at a
discount to prevent large arrivals. Eff
forts are even being mace to ship to Mil
waukee to grade in that market. July OPP
lions control the market.
At the closing hour the manipulators
pushed July options down to 65 S-Sc. a loss
of 5-Sc from the opening high prices. Old
traders say that in market that is being
played as corn is now, irrespective of its
commercial merits, just such pranks as 1t
played today may be expected from day
to day.
The close was comparatively weak. July
selling &c under yesterdays close at s. 1-2c.

PLATFORM OF 1900
MAY NOT Be
NOTICED
3. S. MILLER OF MuscoeEE, SAYS
FREE SILVER is A DEAD IS
SUE IN THE UNITED
STATES.


When the state convention meets here
on July I'd it is very probable. in fact al
most certainty that It viii ignore the ma
tional Democratic platform at Kansas
City in 1900. Hon. b. 81 Miller, Of Mus
cogee who is delegate TO the conven-
ton from his county. announced at the
capitol yesterday that any effort to re-
vive the. Kansas City platform, so far
as free silver and several other things
were concerned, would be vigorously
fought. and that as be understood II, a
new platform, making new issues would
be adopted. " sA
According to Statements BY Mr. Miller
he has conversed wltlz many delegates 20
the convention and the consensus OF opin-
ion seems to be that the Georgia conven-
ton will relegate free silver to the rear,
come out squarely for Cuban reciprocity,
and other things of national Importance.
The policy of the national government in
the Philippine islands will be strongly
condemned so it is said, though IL is UNI
derstood that some few of the delegates
so far named, favor commencing in part
what the administration has done and It
is being limited that resolution to that
effect will be introduced In the conven-
ton.
It is not thought that the putting of To-
cal option in the state platform will go
through without a fight, although II is be-
ing strongly urged that the late primary
settled the question forever in Georgia,
and that to make a certainty OF the mat
ter the party should declare for local OPP
tions
MANY of the state capitol officials are of
the opinion that the free silver plank Of
the Kansas City platform should be left
out of the state platform, and that new
issues should be made. Chairman Ed I.
Brown, while declining to be interviewed
on subject favors leaving out the silver
plank. There Is much interest evinced in
what the convention is going to do regard
ing a platform, and before the convention
meets on the I'd of July it is said meet
ing of the leaders of the party will be held
in Atlanta to outline a plan which VIII
be submitted to the convention on the
following day.
Speaking Of the free silver plank yes
terday, Hon. B. S. Miller said:
THE convention. will. In my opinion,
ignore the Kansas City platform altogeth-
er, and any effort that will be made to
bring up the issue will meet with a vigo-
rous fight Free silver is a dead issue, as
are several other things In the Kansas
City platform, and l do not think we
should waste any time on them. What we
need is something new"
It is now only two weeks until the con-
vention meets. The railroads have notified
Chairman Brown that a rate of one fare
for the round trip from all points in Geor-
gia has been granted for the delegates and
others to attend the convention.
Chairman Brown has not yet received
the consolidated returns from all the coun-
ties in the state. He requests that the
executive committees send in the returns
as fast as possible as 1t is now only few
days before the convention will be called
to order.

GEO. PEABODY GIVES
GENEROUSLY To
A SCHOOL
DONATES $4,000 FOR EDUcA-
TIoNAL PURPOSES AT ATHENS
AND TRIED TO KEEP GIFT A
SECRET.

Despite his desire to keep secret his ben
efaction, it has just been learned that
George Foster Peabody, of New York,
who visited Athens this week, had arrang-
ed to give $4,000 for the building and
equipment Of practice school, in con-
nection with the State Normal school.
Mr.. Peabody gives $4,000 for the build
ing and 5000 for the equipment of the
school. The state school commissioner is
to provide three teachers for the institu-
ton, which is to have seven grades, and
to accommodate los pupils.
The school will be conducted on the
most advanced ideas, and while the John
Dewey school. in Chicago. is something
on the order Of the new school to be
erected in Athens. the new school will in
clude many things which the Dewey
school has not taken up.
Mr.. Peabody is a member Of the gen.
eral educational board, which recently
gave $4,000 to the State Normal school
and $4,000 to the Tech, but he has taken
a great deal of interest in the State Nor
NAL school, and his individual gift Of $13.-
900 is in addition to his share in the gifts
of the general educational board. Mr.. Pea
body left last night for New York.

MOB IN VINCENNES, Ind
WANTED TO USE A ROPE

vINCENNES. Ind. June 1s.-Great excite
n1ent was occasioned here at an early hour this
morning by the report that mob was on its
way to the Jail to secure possession Of William
Edison, who has been in custody on charge Of
assaulting three-year-old Irma Pfohl. June l.
For several days there has been talk Of lynch
ing among the irresponsible element and it has
only been through the efforts Of cooler heads
that the feeling against Edison has been kept
in subsection. Yesterday those who were the
most outspoken quieted down and no further
trouble was looked for, but early this morning
a crowd OF 80 or 70 men and boys assembled.
but without apparent leadership.
The police were notified and the word was at
once passed that an effort was about to be made
to lynch Edison. To add to the excitement some
one turned in an alarm Of fire. This done.
il i5 believed, to draw large crowd to the
streets TO swell the mob on its way TO the Jail.
Half an hour after the first second alarm was
turned in, but the police were on the look out
and nipped any tendency toward violence in the
bud.
The mob was finally dispersed and no actual
attempt was made to enter the Jail At 2:30
O'Clock the police were on watch but believed
no further rnonstrations would take place.
Edison Is a bad character. having spent II
of hts 81 years in the reform school, and the
feeling is very bitter against him.

ON COAST OF CUBA.
PIRATES SWARM
UNNUMREREO
COMMERCE OF THE ISLAND HAS
BEEN GREATLY RETARDED ON
ACCOUNT OF CRIPPLED REV.
ENUE CUTTER SERVICE.

NEW YORK. June 1S.-The non-arrival
OF the u. S. consul general to Havana and
the consuls appointed to Mantanzas, Glen
fuegos and Santiago, has resulted in Sc
riously Gripping commerce with the U. s.
says Herald dispatch from Havana.
Since the evacuation of the island by
the United States forces. piracy and snug
Cling along the Cuban coast have in
creased enormously. The collectors Of
half a dozen ports are constantly request
ing the assistance of revenue cutters. The
chief offenders are smacks from Jamaica,
Nassau and Barbados. There are only
two cutters available to guard two thou
sand miles of coast line. Four others,
owned by the government; are at present
out of commission.
Six smacks, which were violating the
turtle fishery laws. have been captured.
Many others are under surveillance and
probably will be captured on the arrival
of4assistance. Several Instances are re-
ported Of actual piracy.
Many Cuban smacks have been over
hauled and robbed of catches of fish, pro-
visions, water, etc, by foreigners, who
eventually are under the impression that
the withdrawal OF the Americans left the
Cubans an easy prey.
It is probable that examples will be
made of the captured. in which case, I'M
doubtedly, will be salutary.
1t has been suggested by custom officials
that the cutter service be abolished as
means OF economizing. but the revela-
tions OF the last As hours have demonstrat-
ed the absolute necessity Of continuing
the service, IL not increasing 1t.
Many diplomatic questions already have
arisen and the time of the United States
minister IS fully occupied Herewith, not
withstanding the fact he is compelled to
devote much time to American indigents
of all parts Of the island, who are seeking
aid OF transportation to the United States
and the grievances OF others.

POISON AND PISTOL
THOMAS sRooKsHIRE, OF CHAR
LoTTE, GROWS WEARY OF LIFE
BUT FAILS TO FIND RELIEF.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., June 1s.-After
telling his mother goodbye over the
phone and taking enough laudanum to
kill three men, Thomas NJ. Brookshire
shot himself in the office of Long Bros
store, on South College street, at II
O'Clock last night. The bullet entered the
right breast above the lungs, but did
not make a mortal wound
He declares he intends to die by his
own hand and that he will kill himself
at the first opportunity.
II have wished to die for three days"
he said. Trouble? Yes, I have a great
deal of trouble. Everything has gone
wrong, and 1 am just tired OF living
You needn't try to pull me through this,
for shall kill myself sooner or later"
There was difficulty in getting a doc
tor. All the city physicians were attend
ing the meeting of the medical society
at the city hall. Brookshire was told
this.
ooh, knew that" said he. II planned
the whole thing before hand, and l am
surprised even that any one heard the
shot outside the door.

WAGES OF EMPLOYEES
VOLUNTARILY ADVANCED

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Jones and
Laughlin, iron and steel manufacturers
have voluntarily advanced the wages Of
all their employees excepting the tonnage
men. The increase affects over 5000 men
and the increase will average 10 per cent.
Laborers who are paid $1.35 will in the fu-
ture receive $50 a day. The furnace en-
ployes Of the Carnegie Steel company
have been advanced during the past week
and II is understood that all the day Ia
borers in the mills of this company viii
be treated in a similar manner as those
employed by the Jones and Laughlins.
The advances have been wholly on ac-
count of the general prosperous condition
Of the steel trade and the increased power
of the plants.

NO ARRAN CLEMENTS MADE
TO BORROW FOR TEACHERS

Governor Gambler has not yet made the
arrangements to borrow $4,000 to pay the
school teachers of the state the balance
that Is due them.
The banks want an unusually high rate
of interest for the amount desired by the
governor and so far the chief executive
has refused all the four per cent offers.
Last year the governor secured money for
two per cent but this year the various
financial Institutions desire four per cent.
Unless the governor can get the money
for less than four per cent 1t is hardly
probable that he will make any loan at

RECIPROCIT Y.
FOR CUBA
FAILS
ROOSEVELT FINDS THAT HE
HAS USED THE PARTY WHICH
IN VAIN AND NOW FACES DE-
FEAT.
(special Dispatch to The Journal.)

NoptCIdI DI9pat-lI- % LIIC VUuI IIeII'I
WASHINGTON, June 1S-Even the
most faithful of the administrationists
now admit that there is no hope of pass
ing the Cuban reciprocity bill at this
session of congress.
The conference to be held tonight will
undoubtedly decide TO drop the whole
matter except that II may authorize the
president to negotiate reciprocal treaty
with the islands.
The failure to pass the bill will be the
greatest defeat of Roosevelts political
career and It is believed will seriously
impair his strength in those republican
states which do not raise beets and
which have therefore been in favor Of
reciprocity.
