The May Option Reaches the
Highest Point Known
in Years.
Minneapolis and Chicago Lead the
Movement, Which Affects
Other Markets.
Bulls Are Divided Over the I'm
mediate Prospect for Dol
lar Wheat.

Bulls in wheat, the dollar wheat
men, had cause for renWed enthusiasm
this morning, when May wheat shot up
to the highest point known here in
years, selling at 91@91Bc.
Minneapolis and Chicago were the
bull leaders. Chicago May sold to 92c.
The southwestern markets We're less
responsive at first, for the reason that
rain and snow over night, from Iowa
southwark, had improved the winter
wheap crop outlook in some degree.
Then Chicago began to climb, how
ever, all markets came into line. Min
nepalis had closed yesterday at S9Ac,
which was an advance Of &c from
Monday, an advance Of almost sc from
prices of fortnight ago, and gain
of lie over the figures Of a year ago.
Many thought this would be high, at
least for a time. But 91c was struck
before there was any let up, and even
then the market failed to react.
1t is the biggest bull market seen
here in many day, and as the coun-
try followers Of the grain trade are
beginning to show up on change, and
are talking dollar wheat, it Is by no
means an impossibility that that fig
ure may be touched soon, especially
as Armour has the Chicago market
under control and can manipulate it
at will.
Two Bull Factions.
The advance of to-day resulted in
sharper division Of the bull element
into two factions, the one contend
Ing for dollar wheat soon, the other
agreeing that higher prices should
come ultimately, but that there has
been advance enough for the pres
ent, and that the market Is in dan
ger of becoming top heavy.
Guessing on Armour.
Armour is the great uncertainty.
There are those who believe that even
now he Is selling out his big line. His
trading Is so quick, SO heavy, so wide
ly distributed thru the different mar
kets, and SO cratic and apparently
contradictory, that the trade is ut
terly at sea. No one can follow his
moves and it is all guess as to what
he is doing. The general impression
however, Is that he still holds a. big
line, probably not les than 10000
600 bushels, which he will sell when
he thinks the market as high as he
can safely put 1t.
Flour and Flax Up.
Flour is up9 Prices have looked a
little high OF late, but Miles put Eon
another 10 cents barrel this morn
ing. 10 4-
Flax is on the rampage also. A
short time ago 1t was down to 80
cents for the No. / seed in Mime
hpoHS. Lay aIter Day II worked up
slowly until on Monday last it sold
at $1.02h. Yesterday 1t was $1.O6,
and to-day $1.12%, with sellers hold
Ing for $1.13. Duluth May flax was
very excited and higher, selling on a
squirt to $1.15, which represents an
advance Of lie cents in two days.
Everything else is going up. Cash
wheat now brings 90@90h cents for
No. northern. Rye has jumped to
571a cents, corn holds around 39h@
39& cents, and oats bring 3S1s cents
for choice. 1t Is grand all-around
jubilee for the bulls.

China May Maintain Order.
RUSSIAN BLUFF CALLED
Japan VIII Not Yield-China Prom
ices I'm Re NeutraJ

London, Jan. 2O.-The. Japanese
note of Jan 13 was stronger than the
preceding one, which was answered
by the Russian proposals published
in Berlin last week.
Japan claims that she is unable to
accept these proposals; that she will
not yield her standpoint and will not
accept the mediation OF a third
power. She will insist upon her de-
mands, and If they are not accepted,
will take the necessary measures to
protect her interests. AS a promi-
nent diplomatist bluntly described
the situation:
Russia has bluffed once too often.''
China has given satisfactory assur-
ances of neutrality to Japan, to Mr..
Conger, the American minister, and
to Sir Ernest satow, the British min
lister.

AMERICAN ACTION RESENTED
Treaty with China Regarded as an
Unfriendly Measure.

Port Arthur, Jan. 20.--M. Plancon,
diplomatic agent of Admiral Alexieff,
Russian viceroy Of the far east, de-
sclares that the action of the United
States IN making az special tTeaty
with China under existing circun1A
consent Of Russia, was unfriendly and
undiplomatic.
M. Plancon added that Russia
would not open Mukden or Antung,
which the China-American treaty pro-
vides shall be open ports, and would
not allow American consuls at those
PAGES under the present regime.
He stated that six months ago Rus
STA ordered the withdrawal Of her
troops from Niuchuang and other
places in Manchuria if China would
agree to simple terms, but owing to
the intrigues OF M. Uchida, the
Japanese minister at Picking, with the
Chinese board Of foreign affairs, the
orders had been countermanded.
M. Plancon denied that Russia, in
tended to annex or obtain a protector
ate over Korea. She merely wished
to secure her legitimate rights on the
wanted Korea, Russia would not inter-
fere, provided the other powers did
not. It was no more necessary for
Japan to ask Russia's permission to
establish protectorate over Korea
than it was for Russia to ask Japan's
permission to occupy Manchuria. The
United States and other powers were
more interested than Russia. M.
5Plancon asserted that the negotiations
between Russia and Japan were con-
tinuing amicably.
China May Maintain Order.
Tientsin, Jan. 20.-Russia has &C

HOT Time IN
THE OLD TOWN
THE BURNING OF RICHMOND,
SATURDAY NIGHT WAS
SPECTACULAR.
Street CORNER DEBATES
Brawls and Serenades Were on the
Menu-"Owls Out in Full
Force.
Street CORNER DEBATES

| Richmond was painted a bright,
glaring crimson shade Saturday
night. The Night Owl fraternity
was out in force.
About 1890 O'Clock, a small, but
noisy supporter of Alton B. Parker
began to shout the virtues of his
favorite candidate, at the corner Of
Eighth and Main streets. He would
emphasize his remarks through the
agency of a tin horn. An enraged
Republican, fired with Bourbon and
Congressman Watson's address, lift
ed the Parkerite off his feet with the
toe of his boot, and the latter i'm
mediately took to the war trail. At
er one or two passes had been ex-
changed, Officer Winters hove in
sight, and the fight was off.
An hour or SO later, at the same
corner, a party of colored voters
FLASHED with some whites. he hatch
ct was dug up, but before hostilities
opened a squad of blue-coats jump
ed into the breach and thereby prob
ably broke up small race riot.
The police reported several other
little scraps, but made no arrests,
with the exception of two DRINKS,
and a man on suspicion. On every
street corner until after midnight,
groups of men, more or less befud-
died, argued the issues of the cam
naign, which reminded the belated
passerby of the good old days Of
yore.
AT II O'Clock, fifteen or twenty
of the fowls took possession of
one of the telephone poles standing
on the south side Of Main street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth streets, and
serenaded the moon until the hour
struck II, when the police swooped
down on the sweet (?) singers and
broke up a concert that looked good
to continue until church time Sunday
morning. Two Of the selections rem
dered by this improvised glee club
and which were most appreciated by
Miss Moon, were, "Farewell, My
Own True Love- and "The Holy
City, The harmony produced had
stirring effect on the entire canine
population Of West Richmond.
Truly, the "hot old time' prom
ised by the Young Mems Republican
Club was warm enough for the
"Burning of Richmond"

Another champion is Delmarch,
2:111h. His mark was the best stall
lion race record at the time it was
made in 1891, and so good did the
son of Hambrino look to the trot-
ting experts of those days that j.
Malcolm Forbes offered $4,000 for
the horse without securing him, al
though MS owner at that time was a
man in moderate circumstances. The
slump in horse values, which came
with the panic two years later, made
Delmarch much smaller asset than
before, and since then he has been
sold couple Of times for compare
lively little money. He is twenty
years old now and not likely to
bring a great amount, as stations
of that age which have not sired
any real cracks are not in demand.
While Idolita has never been ex-
actly "a champion he was, in 1899, a
topnotch three-year-old trotter in a
season which produced such celeb
rites at that age as Boralma and
Extasy. Moreover. he was the best
money winner of his age that year,
and, withal, such a pure gated and
steady going trotter that, taken by
and large, 1dolita held over the 9TH
ers of his age. and so far as the
colts We're concerned he had them all
beaten.
