CRY OF The BULLS
Excited Demand on Chicago
Board, Marked by Big
Predictions.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-"Wheat at So a
bushel Before next May" roared the
bulls today on. the board of trade. At
the opening of the market there was an
excited demand for wheat, with few
traders vanturing to SELL. The price for
May delivery was from Silly to Sill
and for delivery for the present month
bids of 2. cents a bushef above, the
closing prices Of Saturday, and the
quantity sold even at such tempting
advance was extremely limited.
The agricultural bureau s monthly
crop report issued Saturday, according
to the bulls, confirmed the worst fears
regarding the lamentable injury to the
. Of winter and spring wheat produced
this year in the United States, it was
contended there is barely enough for
bread and seed, if every bushel was
available, which is not possible, and the
country is therefore face to- face with
the necessity Of bringing in foreign
wheat. .......'
As the session advanced prices rose
still higher, the demand from shorts
which caused the initial squirt being
augmented by heavy buying by. com;
mission houses. At the high point of
the day all deliveries showed a gain of
4 cents or more, as compared with Sat.
urday's final quotations, May selling up
to g $l /; September advanced ed to to
$1.08R to $108, reached $1.12A shortly
before the end Of the session. The sen

STIR IN WASHINGTON :
Entry of Russian Ship to American
Waters Regretted.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Admiral Good
rich s report Of the presence of the
Russian transport Lena in San Fran
cisco harbor caused great stir in Off
cial circles here. The; entry of the
ship was entirely unexpected and a
hoped by the officials that America
would escape being drawn into the ne
cessity of making close decisions re-
specting the rights Of belligerent YES,
sells in our ports. D.! ~
Secretary Morton promptly sought
the advice of the state department..
Then the statement was made that, -af-
this stage concerned the state depart
ment, but rather it is within the juris.
diction Of the treasury department.. The
presence of the Russian transport, So
called, in San Francisco harbor, in
wolves the application Of the United
States neutrality laws, and it was said
at the state department that it was
the duty, under the presidents procla
nation of neutrality, for the treasury
sary.
tt is said at the state department.
that in international law there is no
difference recognized between q trans
port and battleship, tho there seemed
to be an intimation inathe San Francis
co dispatches that tne captain OF Cne
Russian ship was disposed to claim ex-
emption from the rules of war applying
to battleships..
It is probable that the government
here will follow closely the course pur-
sued by Germany, France and China in
cases where Russian naval vessels
sought shelter in their harbors.
The first thing is to find out the
exact condition of the Lena, and wheth-
er there actually exists need for repairs.
If it should appear that the vessel is
really seaworthy she must go to sea
within twenty-four hours of her arrival
in port. She may, take on a supply of
coal, but only sufficient to move her to
the nearest home port and it will be
part Of the understanding upon which
this coal is furnished that it is to be
used for no other purpose; American
ports must not be made the basis of
hostile operations
It is believed at the navy department
that the conditions will not be allowed
to shape themselves SO that the Lena
can 90 out of San Francisco harbor to
prey on American commerce, even tho
this is carried in Japanese bottoms. In
fact the impression prevails that the
Lena will be tied up in San Francisco
until the end Of the war.

ALL AMI|.Es CASES
County Attorney Says Prospect Of
Conviction Wont Warrant
Prosecution.
Court Thinks Cases Too Import
ant to Grant Motion
Offhand.

Former Mayor A. A. Ames will
never be tried under the; ten indict-
ments now hanging over him if a mo-
ton for nolles, made this morning by
County Attorney f. H.. Boardman be-
fore Judge A. M. Harrison of the dis
trict court, is granted. Judge Harrison
has the motion under advisement.
In making the motion for nolles in
the Ames cases, the county attorney
said:
Gone of these cases has been tried
and conviction secured. That YER
dict was reversed blythe supreme court.
The defendant was tried again by a
Jury of representative citizens, who
failed to agree on ayerdict, standing
six for conviction andssix for acquittal.
HNow, it is my judgment that the
further in this prosecution. We have
no more evidence than at previous
trials. 7 therefore move a nolle of all
these cases on the grounds:
First--That a conviction can never
be secured. 4 =
second-That it would be a waste
"Third-It would be an unnecessary
expense. Ee =
Moreover, further trials would give
feverish and offensive. advertising to
our city. 7 believe these cases should
be disposed off,
The Cases Pending.
The cases on the calendar which il
is proposed to dispose, of by nolles are:
One for offer to bride a public officer
and seven for receiving a bride. e..
At the close Of the county attorney
remarks Judge Harrison said:

the county attorney am not ready t.

I have carefully considered it.. A mo

Gus accusations is an important one ant
actions must not be taken too quickly
"ln cases where acquittals on SINH

Ames one convictions and one disagree

ORDERLY RETREAT
Czar's Army Is Quitting Mukden,
Falling Back to
4. .., Telling.
SUMMARY OF WAR
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

st. Petersburg now practically
comedies that General Kuropatkin
is falling back to Telling, and no
serious stand is expected at Muk-
den. This movement is confirmed
by the Associated Press dispatches
from Mukden, which indicate that
the Russian movement is being eff
fected slowly, but in an orderly
manner. The two armies are mere
ly keeping in touch with each other,
no fighting Of consequence being
reported. Rain continues to fall at
the theater Of war, and the roads
are said to be almost impossible.
Official figures from Toxic, which
place the Japanese losses during all
the engagements which constituted
the battle Of Liao-yang at 1880,
make necessary big reduction of
the reported casualties Of the great
battle. According to military ex-
perts, the Russian losses should not
exceed those Of the Japanese, in
fact, as Russia was on the defens-
i've, they should not be so great.
The Toxic figures therefore would
indicate that the total casualties
were not more than 10000.
