CORNER IN WHEAT is PLANNED.

Louio yEleVapCFS is bouGnt Up.
st. Louis, Nov. "a plan to corner
the ST. Louis December wheat mar
ket by buying up all the possible in-
suranco on the wheat stored in ele-
vators. both on the east side and in
this city, is outlined in information
given by insurance men. OF the l20
insurance companies taking business
in st. Louis it is said that every one
of them has written policies on St.
Louis and East st. Louis elevators
aygre ating about s3.500000.
The insurance far exceeds the visi-
BILE supply in the elevators, but. oy
taking out insurance for tine full ca
pacity of the warehouses at the marg-
inal price of wheat, the bulls hope to
make it impossible for outsiders tC
store their grain, which would pre-
clude the insuring of it and neces-
sarily prevent the borrowing of money
on the part of the shorts, who would
practically be frozen out of the mar

CLASHES WITH sAMTo oom,Noo.
Clyde Line Steamer Not Allowed to

Discharge Cargo ct Destination.
San Domingo, NOV. IA Dominican
warship stopped the Clyde line stesm-
er Cherokee as the latter was near
ing Puerto Plata and informed tie
captain that he could not enter thae
port. The Cherokee tLol proceeded
for Samana, and was also prevented
from entering that port, the minister
of war ordering the captain OF the
Cherokee to proceed direct to the
capital. On the arrival OF tie vessel
here the president demanded that tho
cargo intended for Puerto Plata and
Samana be landed at this port The
captain of the Cherokee refused to
comply with this demand and appealed
to United States Minister Powell for
protection. Minister Powell inter-
viewed the president and argued that
since the government of Santo Do
mingo had not advised the foreign le-
cations of any blockade it could not
prevent the Cherokee from entering
the ports of Puerto Plata and Samana,
and insisted that the cargo should be
landed at its destination. The presi-
dent in reply reiterated his demand
that the Cherokee's c2rgo be landed
at San Domingo. but this Minister
Powell refused to permit and declared
he would hold the government re-
sponsible should any violent action
be adopted toward the Cherokee.
When the Cherokee was ready to
leave for Azua clearance papers were
refused. Minister Powell wrote a
sharp note TO the government demand
ing a permit for the Cherokee to de-
part. The government refused to al
low pilot to board the vessel md
Minister Powell then instructed Cap
tain Archibald to take his ship out
and proceed for Azua, keeping his
cargo aboard and landing it at the
ports of distinction. The energetic
action of Minister Powell has caused
a. great sensation. especially as his
action lacked the support of al Amer
lean warship.

Kaiser Enjoined from Speaking un.
til the Wound Heals Up.

Berlin, Nov. 9.--Emperor william
underwent an operation for the re.
moyal OF polypsus from his !arynx.
The operation was performed by Prof
Moritz Schmidt and was entirely sue
cessful. The only inconvenience suf
fered by his majesty is that he has
been enjoined not to speak until the
wound caused by the operation has
been healed. The bulletins announc-
ing the result of the operation caused
much astonishment, even among court
officials, who had no suspicion that his
majesty was suffering from any affec-
tion of the throat. The emperor him
self appears not to have known of the
growth in his larynx until few days
ago, and to have suffered no di5com-
fort from it.
The emperor received Count Won
Buelow at noon and afterwards he
lunched with the empress and the
count in his bedroom. Count Won Buc-
low found the emperor as chatty and
animated as usual. The emperor took
liquid food. His general health has
never been so good. He has not felt
the ear affection which troubled him
for years and has quite outgrown the
nervous trouble that formerly i'm
PEELED him to incessant physical ac-
tivity. 1t is stated that the emperor
will continue to receive visitors on
official business.
The growth in the larynx at once
suggested that the emperor might be
suffering from something worse than
a simple poiypsus, but Profs. von Len
thold. Ilbert, Schmidt and Orth sup
plement the bulletins in replying to
inquiries by the most positive personal
declarations that the affection was
merely a good natured polypsus.

Hay, during call at the white house.
placed in the hands of the president
the Colombian protest against the
course pursued by the Washington
government on the isthmus and its
attitude toward the new government
of Panama.
The protest came to Secretary Hay
from DR.. Thorcas Herran. the Colon
bian charge, and was duly ackrowl-
edged in brief. formal note. The
protest is short and to the point. 1t
follows the usual lines of formal com.
munications of this kind. In view OF
the authorized announcement by the
Colombian charge that he has not
been in onmunication with his gov
ernment since Nov. 2, it is assumed
that he protested on his own respon-
sibility.
No cablegrams reached the state or
navy departments over night from
isthmian lands or waters, nor has the
state department heard from Bogota
since cabling to the American lega-
ton there for presentation to the Co
lombian government of an announce
ment of the action of the United
States in recognizing the defacto gov
ernment of Panama.
The apparent inability of the Co
canal treaty is dead and that the rev.
olution is a success ; furnished by
the fact that a cablegram was re-
ceived from Minister Beaupre at
Bogota. in which the minister stared
that a great change of feeling had
come about IL Bogota and that the ad-
vocates of the ca-al treaty with the
United States are growing rapidly in
strength.
Embarking of Colombian troops
from Buena Ventura or any other
Colombian port for the isthmus will
not be permitted by the Washington
government and American warships
will be ordered to any port upon re-

the isthmus. The Washington gov
ernment holds that this policy is in
