MINI EAPOLiS.

Minneapolis-A low barometer over the
Northwest, with rains general and the
prospect of more rain to come turned
the wheat market very firm, December
selling up to 1890 early. Some of the
shorts covered and a number of new buy
ing orders came in from the outside. Min
neapolis and st. Louis were the firmest
markets, st. Louis gaining 1c. Local
stocks. have increased $50, 900 Blu. not
quite keeping pace so far with the in
crease last week to this time. Tie re-
ceipts showed nothing big with the ex-
ception of Duluth, where there were TAP
cars, against 344. Minneapolis had 339
cars.
The market held up well and at the
close was 761sc for December and 76% %
nc for May, a fair gain for the day.
There was much dissatisfaction in the
cash market. Prices were easy and some
sellers rather than let go at December

carried over their wheat. The low grades
dragged along with the good lots. Du-
luth had a good market and sellers here
were not disposed to sacrifice lots to meet
the depression where they could avoid it.
For that reason much wheat was held on
the market and in consequence the range
of prices was better than would have been
the case had all the wheat been offered,
and the market was rally weaker in tone
than the figures reported on sales would
indicate. Following was the range OF

LONDON, May 5.-Rev. William MOT
rison of Lexington, Va, member oil the
American Presbyterian mission, who is mere
on his way home after six years work along
the Kassai river, about 1900 miles In the
interior of the Congo state, fully confirms
the stories of the abuses in the Congo

He has furnished an exhaustive report on
the situation to the Congo state authorities
to the American and British ministers at
Brussels and to Foreign Secretary lans-
downe detailing the results of his per-
sonal investigation and showing that the
situation is daily growing worse, as re-
suit of the rubber monopoly's introduc-
tion Of forced labor, virtually amounting
to slavery.
On his way to the coast Rev. Mr. Nor
rison covered 800 miles OF the Kassai
river, formerly thickly dotted with viii
lagos. and he says there are now less than
a dozen villages there the people having
fed into the forests to escape the tyranny
of the whites.

TWENTY PASSENGERS DROWN
Lose Their Lives in Collision OF EOrfOlh
in Fog.
ILL FATED BOAT is THE SAGINAW
Crew of other steamer Makes Every
Attempt to Rescue Them, but
Fog IL Too Dense for
Quick work.

NORFOLK, Va, May 5.--A collision that
cost the lives Of twenty or more and the
sinking OF the Clyde steamship Saginaw by
the Old Dominion Steamship company's
liner Hamilton, occurred between Winter
Quarter lightship and Fenwick Island
lightship on the Virginia coast at 4:4o this
morning.
dense fog settled along the coast
shortly after nightfall, which made 1t i'm
possible for the sailors to see each others
vessels, though the warning whistles were
heard by both. Running at reduced speed
Hamilton smashed into Sagnaw's side
about twenty feet from the stern.
According to Captain Boaz Of Hamilton,
his ship was making about nine miles an
hour and Saginaw about ten. The fog
was so thick that objects a ships length
away were invisible, and when the two
boats hove in sight OF each other, bow on.
there was but a moments interim before
they met.
Saginaw veered, as did Hamilton. but
they had not time to clear, till the steel
prov OF the Old Dominion vessel cut away
the entire rear part of the Clyde ship.
Saginaw settled rapidly and by the time
Hamilton reversed steam and hove in sight
again its stern was under water.
Panic-stricken people rushed over the
decks and scrambled toward the bow. Life
boats we're lowered and into the irst hf-
teen colored women were placed. The boat
was swamped as 1t struck the water and
its occupants were thrown into the sea. All
were drowned save the second officer
In the meantime the rush OF water into
the bow of Saginaw had burst the decks
from their fastenings with roar like the
report Of big guns and tons OF freight OF
| all descriptions soon Uttered the sea- To
| floating wreckage the struggling people in
the water clung with desperation, and many
| Of them were rescued by the boats from
Hamilton, though before they were
within reach Saginaw had disappeared be-
meath the waves and nothing but it's top
Tnasts were visible. To these several men
| we're clinging, one of whom was the aged
captain, J. S. Tunnell. When he was taken
/ OF IT was found that he had suffered Sc
we're internal injuries.
Hamilton lowered around the wreck fol-
more than an hour, but no sign of life
could be seen among the mass of floating
freight. Two bodies. one of a man and the
other of a woman, clad only IN might
dresses, were observed drifting between
bales Of cotton and cases of goods The
first news Of the disaster was learned Al
Old Point, where Hamilton stopped for {
few minutes on it's way to Norfolk.
I 1t arrived at it's pier in this city abou
/ 2 this Afternoon Its bow plates are -stov,
in and much wreckage still clipgs to It
All the damage, however, is Nbove tn
water line.

WANT DUTY KEPT ON GRAIN
London Opposition to Proposition of
Chancellor of Exchequer
Grows.

LONDON May 5.-The opposition to the
proposal OF the chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, Mr.. Ritchie, to abolish the duty
on grain, which has been voiced by numer-
Gus chambers OF agriculture, crystallized
in a meeting OF the Associated Chambers
of Agriculture in London today.
With only three dissentients the large as
semblage, after a heated attack on Mr..
Ritchie's "wobbling policy In connection
with this tax" passed a resolution strongly
condemning the proposed action and ap-
pointed a deputation to call on Premier
Balfour and confer with him on the sub
ject. -, -
any effect.
Answering a question in the House to-
Aov Mr. RItchie held out little hope Of
the millers getting a refund of the duties
paid on imported grain which they may
stil have on their hands when the tax
is abolished July l.

AMES' DENIES ALL CHARGES
Former Mayor of Minneapolis Goes
on the stand In His own
Behalf.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 5.-Former
Mayor Ames was today subjected to a rigid
cross examination by the state in his trial
for bribery and extortion. When con-
fronted by his written orders to the super
intendent OF police with regard to making
list Of disreputable houses, he declared
that the signature was made with a rubber
stamp and he had never seen or authorized
the order.
On redirect examination he declared that
he had never seen the list Of such houses
found in his desk by Thomas r. Brown, his
secretary. He denied that he had given
irwin A. Gardner $50 to reimburse a woman
who had been fined in court, although pay
ing for protection.
AT this point Brown was recalled and
asked about the publication Of DR.. Ames'
| letter Withdrawing from the contest for
the republican nomination for congress. DR.
Ames on the stand. had declared that he
had never seen the letter until II appeared
| in print.
Brown said that he had prepared the
letter after consultation with his chief
"ho' Aiter making some changes in IT,
signed II and authorized its publication.
The defense then put on a number OF
character witnesses. John Long an NJ.
torney' swore that when he called on the
! mayor with reference to an appointment
! the latter seemed to be out of his MIND
He told several people that the msvo,
was crazy. DR.. z. J. Clark, who occupiet
an ONCE with Ames, said the latter had :
number or delusions. His mental condition
was bad and he ascribed It to alcoholism
He testified that, in his opinion, DR.. Anne,

ness who Did Not
Testify.

LONDON, KY. May 5.-News was re"
ceived here Of the death yesterday IN Clay
county Of Sidney Baker. brother-in-laW OF
James Howard, recently tried for the mur-
der Of William Goebel. His death was tne
result OF a duel on the highway with VIII
liam McCollum.
AS soon as the two men met BAKER
slipped from his horse and nred al NC
Collum twice, without hitting MIN. NC
Collum then shot Baker in the abdomen
Bakers grudge is supposed to have arisen
from the fact that McCollum had been
summoned as a witness against Howard,
though he had not been put on the stand
