WHEAT UP PAST Sill.
May Option in Eev York Higher
Even than i'm Chicago.

New York, Aug 20 New high rec.
ords were made in the wheat market to-
day when May wheat sold Lere at
$117h and in Chicago at $l.164
This represented an advance of a cent
and half over the highest previous
prices, and 21a cents over the closing
level of last night The advance has
been one of the most sensational in the
history of wheat speculation, as May
wheat sold at 50 less than two months
ago and the rise of "a cents at harvest
time is seldom seen in the wheat trade.
There was heavy profit-taking on the
advan e, as well as short covering.
Bears have been punished ely for
two months aud have attempted to
catch the top ever since wheat crossed
the dollar mark But each rise has car
ried the prices higher than before, and
shorts have been compelled to cover at
enormous losses. There was heavy
selling yesterday and shorts ran this
morning. The market was active and
excited, with trade along heavy lines,
Reports of damage from the Canadian
heat country, as we'll as from Mime
sofa, continue to be the features. This
kept the wheat market boiling here and

Claim the Czarina Gave Birth to a
Girl.

New York, Aug. 20-A cable to the
World from Paris says: The Russian
revolutionists here declare positively
that the Empress of Russia really gave
birth to a female child for whom a male
child was substituted. The substitute
is a peasant woman's baby.
The revolutionists vouch for the truth
of the statement, and astonishing as it
is they insist that it comes from a relia
bic source and will be verified later.
The Nihilists say that the internal con-
dition IN Russia is such that had the
people been disappointed again in the
hope of the birth of czarowitch. a re-
volt was imminent.
This danger, magnifsd by the proba-
bility of the early fall of Port Arthur,
caused the czars advisers to take the
remarkable precaution of providing a
substitute.

The ratification of the indianapolis

Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. These

ment of commerce and labor. thru tho
bureau OF corporations, is making an
investigation into the operations of the
so-called beef trust" part of the

cordance with a resolution passed by

Owens, of the G. & N. w. railway, arr
rived here yesterday in his special car.
He is witness in the district court in
the case Of Cain VS.. the c. & N. w.
Railway Company.
The case is one brought to recover
damages for injury to the person. 1t
appears that Cain was injured In a coll
llsion near Chicago sometime ago. The
railroad company settled with him for
s,00 soon after the collision and while
he was suffering from his injuries The
present action is to recover greater
amount of damage on the ground that
the amount received in settlement was
inadequate, and that at the time 1t was
made he was incompetent to make It,
because of his mental and physical
condition resulting from his injuries.

only wear out the guns and machinery
of ships and waste ammunition with
out compensating advantages. They
point to the comparatively insignifi-
cant damage by bombardments Of Sam
tiago by the American fleet as proof OF
their futility. From positions taken by
the japanese the latter could not see
either the town or batteries. The
range was from SIX 70 eight miles, ana
with high angle fire precision was inn
possible. Altho the general target was
krge, only lucky chance could really
damage the batteries or ships. So far
as known the Japanese accomplished
nothing yesterday. On the other hand
