THE WABASH TROUBLE.
Every Indication Points to Final Adjust
ment Either To-day or Early
Next Week.

St. Louis, April 4.-The contro.
versy over an agreement upon wages
between the officials of the Wabash
Railroad company and its employees
is still unsettled, but every indica-
ton points to final adjustment
either to-day or early next week.
Both sides are making strenuous eff
forts to come to an amicable under
standing and avert strike. A long
conference was held yesterday be-
tween the representatives of both
sides and it is stated that only minor
details yet remain to be disposed of.
This conference was necessary be-
cause of the technical points at is
sue, which were not familiar to At
torneys Blodgett and Judson, who
will arrange the final settlement.
There is no particular activity mani
Tested by either side, so confident
does each seem Of an ultimate
amicable agreement.
Col. Blodgett stated yesterday
evening that, while he was unable
to say exactly when the controversy
would be ended, the termination ia
apparently very close at hand.

WAR ON "sucKEr-sHopprKo."



Chicago, April 4.--As a result Of q
bitter fight that has sprung up in
the Chicago board of trade over the
question of puts and calls" evidence
has been laid before the grand jury
tending to prove that several of the
most prominent commission houses
in the city have been guilty of
"bucket-shopping," and the jury has
voted seven indictments. The dis
pute among the members Of the
board of trade regarding the ques-
ton Of puts and calls" has reached
such stage that 900 members, con-
shutting majority, declare that
unless they shall secure what they
wish in the way of an amendment to
pending legislation they will force
through the legislature such a bill
as win result in the closing of the
doors Of the board Of trade. The
800 members Of the board are OPP
posed to eight directors. The ma
jority has drafted an amendment to
law passed in 1874, which makes
1t crime to deal in grain for future
delivery and which. is still in effect.
1t thus prevents dealing in puts and
calls and the majority desires to
deal in these.

At the Kansas reunion thl.week Their,

greeted Capt, and Mrs. McDivitt, Mrs

We saw Sunny Crest" the home

We did not see them although our
friends drove about with us for hours.
One Of the greatest attractions In this
city, outside the climate, is the many
moneyed, refined and cultured persons
living here, persons most Of whom
have come originally from eastern
states. This class Of people represent
a larger portion of the population, as
a whole, than may be found in per-
haps any other city Of the United
States or even in the world. All
the fashionable hotels are filed with
tourists all over Southern California
but here in Pasadena they have turned
business away. The winter weather
east has driven a horde 81 moneyed
visitors into sunshine OF the South
land. All the days here this month
would delight the heart Of a chronic
1yspeptic. We saw the richest man
n the world, John D. Rockefeller, and
wife buying Satsuma vase in an art
Jtore. The millionaires that we have
'een are plain, sensible looking people
'ut for good time with no parade Of
heir possessions. We saw the best
arming country that we have seen in
southern California. The barley
ields are heading oat. The green
rain is heavy and Of good color and
PROMISES the best crop since 1884, the
ainfall being the heaviest since that

onions, of peas, 40 of potatoes and II
of tomatoes. Londoners individually
devour annually pounds of carrots,
of celery, "a of onions, of peas, liz of
potatoes and 81 of tomatoes. The Span
iards individually eat every year 500
pounds of bread, 4S of meat, IL of fish
and IL of sugar, and wash down this

year the hens of this country produced
and the people ate S25O,OO0,0OO worth
of eggs, which, at % cents dozen,
equalled 900, 100000 dozen eggs. We
produce every year 2, 10000 tons of
beef, SIG, 900 OF mutton and 2,19O,000 of
pork, the greater part of which goes
down our own Threats.
The people of the United States are

mated that this country produces $780,
