Pioneer of Minnesota and a Member
Of First Supreme Court
Passes Away.
He Had Been Ill for About Two
Years With Kidney
Trouble.
Was a President Of First Minneap-
oils Board of Trade and
City Attorney.

Judge Charles e. Flandrau died at his
residence, 3S5 Pleasant avenue, ST Paul,
at o'clock this morning. For two years
he had been suffering from kidney all
ment, which slowly undermined his Wig
orous constitution, and In the past week
his illness took so serious a turn that his
end was known to be a matter OF few
days. All the members of his family were
at his bedside when the end came.
The state thus loses a prominent citi-
zen and pioneer settler who was closely
connected with many Of the stirring In
cidents in the territorial and early state
hood history of Minnesota.
Born In 1928.
Judge Flandrau was born July is, 1928,
in New York city. His father, Charles II.
Flandrau, was for many years law

sumers, but the demand for local con-
sumption called for 10000 bushels be-
sides. There are only 100000 bushels of
wheat in Minneapolis to-day The time
of year is here when ordinarily the ele-
vator stocks should be increasing every
day. But they are not increasing.
In public and private elevators, great
and small, Minneapolis boasts forty-fve
houses, with storage capacity for $685.
900 bushels Of grain. The men who oper-
ate these houses would like to put some
wheat into their bins and carry it on
storage, for that is their business In
past years thes elevators have cared for
the surplus wheat and have at times car
ried as much as $4,000, 900 bushels. But
this has not been the case for several
years. This season the elevators are bare
of wheat, and it looks as tho they will
get nothing for a time yet, as the con-
sumptive requirements are too great. Mill
ers are taking all the good wheat that
comes, and are buying it in the country
to arrive in twenty days. and until this
demand has abated, the Minneapolis ele-
vator man Is out of It.
Better Weather Predicted.
Predictions are for better weather
which will mean larger receipts again.
Flour Business Good.
The flour mills are doing good BUSH
ness now and are selling fair qualities
Of flour every day to Europe. This de-
mand is expected to increase from now
on. All the grain trade, the nillers, and
the elevator men would like to see a
heavier movement of wheat into Mime
apolis.
Country Mills Buy.
Various reasons are given for the mod
crate movement aside from the bad
weather. Country mills are buying more
grain to grind and the farmers in some
localities are holding back wheat ready
for the market
December Wheat UP.

and confirm the belief of the authorities
here that owing to the general irritation
thru European and Asiatic Turkey
towards the Christians as result of the
Macedonian revolt, the sultan may be
swept by the uncomfortable sentiments
of his Ottoman subjects into war with
Bulgaria, despite the unwillingness of the
Porte to precipitate such a conflict Turkish
officials express qualification at the Rus
sian-Austrian proposal for coercive diplo
matte action on the part Of the powers at
Sofia. They are confident it will be acceded
to by France, lbut whether it is adopted or
not the sultan's hand has already been
greatly strengthened as he is in better
position to act than hitherto.
There Is no question in official circles
here that the Porte will take energetic
measures to suppress any trouble at

Turkish officials to restore order prompt

France May Send Ships.
France may order warships to that point
to protect her interests, but Germany has
asserted that she will not do SO. Great
Britain, whose missionary interests in
Slria are practically nil, has not as yet sent
any vessels to Beirut, relying upon the
American warships to protect the con-
sulates.
A high diplomatic authority repeated
day that Russia has not dispatched, at
present at least, any vessels of her Black
sea fleet to Turkish waters. He asserted,
however, that when Russia submits to the
Porte her proposals for the Justification Of

sea fleet to Turkish waters and it may

figures.
The revolutionary headquarters estimate
that 10000 Bulgarian men, women and
children have been killed, while at least
