caused all of the Valley flour and some of
the hard wheat grades to advance, and
there is further indication of still higher
prices.

GUARD TO Be WITHDRAWN
Special Force Of Police at Mills No
Longer Needed Says Chief
Conroy.

], In a few days the police guard in
the milling district Will be with drawn.
There are only six officers on duty now
and Chief Conroy says that there Is no
need for any except to indicate that
the administration wilT'protect proper
ty under all circumstances
Il am greatly pleased with the man
ner in which the strikers co-operated
with the police in maintaining order.
When the strike was decided upon a;
delegation from the employees Of the
flour mills waited upon me and gave
me assurance that violence Of all sorts
must be suppressed and that the strik-
ers could be counted upon to render
assistance. They kept their word and
are entitled to COMMUNICATION from the
citizens of Minneapolis. They showed
q very high order of citizenship and
are worthy of the highest respect. a
strong guard was maintained, during
the most trying period Of the strike,
but tt would probably not have been
able to restrain 1000 men had they
been bent on yiolence.
Chief Conroys spent every afternoon
and evening in the milling districts
and mingled freely with the strikers.
He was welcomed BY all and found the
pickets as willing to suppress disorder
ly men as the police. -

BULL LEADER
MAKES REPLY
Declares that Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson Knows Nothing
Whatever,About Cotton. .
New York Sun Special Service.

New Orleans, Oct 26.Frank B.
Hayne, who worked with William p.
Brown in bulling the cotton market,
has answered his critics in scorching
terms. Of Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson Mr.. HayneE says: n
THE most outrageous and iunwar-
ranted criticism of the so-called New
Orleans bull clique came from Secre-
tary Wilson, cabinet officer. /; / con-
slider that every good American citi-
zen should have felt outraged by a.
government officer in his official ca
pacity denouncing private citizens in
carrying on their business. Secretary
Wilson showed such complete ignor-
ance Of the subject, however, that his
remarks are hardly worth argument.
Dollar, wheat and 75-cent corn in his
opinion, are quite legitimate, but he
seems to think that for the southern
planter to receive IL cents for his cot
ton is an outrage. His idea regarding
the south Is, apparently, Damn the
poor; let them work, they are used
to it, s. ,@
: 1.-THE thought that may have in
any way aided the south to obtain
500, 100000 for her crop connpensates
for any criticism that may be heaped
upon me by the northern press Ut
