WEST INDIAN SOUVENIRS :.
Described by L. S. Gillette Before
the Engineers Club. %s.

A small black boy and ''jai-a-lai''
layout are West. Indian souvenirs that
l.. s. Gillette described last night at the
courthouse before a monthly meeting of
the Engineers club. Mr.. Gillette showed
the ball and the wicker-work '.bat,' with.
which "jai-a-lai' experts at Havana earn.
$500 to $400 a night. The game is not
dull, said Mr.. Gillette. I'm comparison
with jaia-lai football, baseball and
horse racing are absolutely tame. It af-
fords fine chances for gambling, so that
thousands of Cuban dollars go into the
pool every night the game is Played
Mr.. Gillette did not show his black
boy. He would be on private view, how
ever, in case any member of the club
would call at the speakers office. The
boy was collected in Eayti as a curious
product Of that land. His impressions
of the United States are favorable.
Other facts Of interest were told by
Mr.. Gillette relative to his late journey
thru Cuba, Hayti,> Jamaica and San Sal
vador. He had been assured by colored
statesmen in San Domingo that the little
republic desired to come under the pro-
lection of Uncle Sam - .Sssf;s

above the Soldiers Home this. morning,

carefully as the strong current eddied

Aside from the pathos attending any
suicide, Schotzka's supposed finish is ad-

IN WHEAT. I
Sudden Drop Due to Threatened De-

Fryberger Tax Law Likely to Lead
Elevator Com mpanies to Fol
low New Course.

There was almost; a panic in the local
wheat pit for time this aEnorning. Min
neapolis May wheat sold at 75Nc c, and then,
in twinklihg. sold to II 41sc, making all
most straight drop. In Chicago. where
Armour has been boosting prices for
weeks, there was a. a,.panic sure enough.
Chicago May sold at .79c. on the curb and
at the opening, and on a sudden drop hit
1850. It was "a pretty badly scared and
nervous crowd in the local pit. Now the
traders are wondering whether 1T means
the end of the Armour deal or whether it
was only another terrific shake e-out y
S Several important things happened Ito
balk. the bull, market in May wheat. 4 In
the local field the most important was
the report that the elevators intended TO
force delivery on all May wheat contracts
This was sent out generally and had a
disturbing effect in all markets. Here in
Minneapolis there We're many little trad
ers long and 10 May wheat, who made
haste to sell out. On Friday, May l, the
grain elevator companies of Minneapolis
will probably turn over to- buyers who
have bought May wheat about, 100000
bushels. Unless something happens in the
interim to change the plans Of the ele-
vator companies, the deliveries on May
contracts are likely to be- the heaviest
on record, and even above the high figures
of the drought year 1898, when, on May
l, the millers, foreseeing a scarcity of
good milling wheat in the northwest,
called for delivery of the actual stuff on
their contracts and took over 3,700, 900
bushels. At that time the deliveries were
heavy because the rnillers were afraid
they could not get enough good wheat to

This year they will be heavy for the
reason that the elevator companies will
hasten to, escape from the tax under a
clause Of the Fryberger tax bill passed by
the Minnesota state legislature, which ad-
journs to-day. This bill affects the grain
trade vitality in one clause, which reads
