MAY WHEAT AT 81 CENTS
FURTHER DECLINE IN PRICE OF
THAT OPTION ON THE CHI
CAGO MARKET.

Chicago, April 2S.-Zero seemed for
q time during the day to be the goal
of May wheat. Under renewed liquida'
tion the price of the option broke 4A
cents a bushel. The market closed the
previous night at 91h, opened at SSR
to 80 and sold down to 81 cents. The
market was extremely nervous and
after rebounding to 80 cents dropped
again to 81 cents.
The slump was due to number OF
causes. severe decline in the price
of wheat at Liverpool and weakness IN
the Minneapolis market formed FAC
tor in the situation, but perhaps the
most powerful influence was rumor
that big line of May wheat was be-
ing held on small margins and was
likely to be thrown overheard at any
moment. The volume of trading dur

million bushels of the May option
changing hands. p. A. Valentine OF

Moroccan Question Exciting Renewed
Anxiety.

Paris, April 2S.-The Moroccan
question is exciting renewed anxiety
despite the fact that Premier Rouvier
dined with Prince Won Radolin, the
German ambassador to France, at tie
German embassy Wednesday night and
other external appearances of improve
ment. The unfavorable turn IS due
rather to the threatening tone OF soma
of the newspapers which are consid-
cred to reflect official sentiment. This
is particularly true of an article in the
Matin, in which it is said that mo mat
ter what his power may be the German
emperor must renounce the hope or
infiicting a check upon us, even to our
self-respect. France is no longer iso-
lated as in 1870. The isolation is now
on the side of Germany"

ernment circulated a false report that
the foregoing was officially inspired
and even asserted that. it was note
from Foreign Minister'Delcasse. I'm
til it was denied the report caused
considerable excitement, in which the

RESTS WITH ROJESTVENSkY.
Location and Date of impending Nava
Battle.

Toxic, April 2S.-The movements OF
the squadron commanded by Admiral
Rojestvensky and the intentions of the
Russian commander continue to be the
subject of general interest and spec
ulation. The last Japanese reports
are conflicting and confusing. They
do not indicate definitely the purposes
of Rojestvensky, but it is evidently the
intention of the Russian admiral to
await junction with the division COM
manded by Admiral NebogatoH, which
increases the probability of his inten-
tion to give Admiral Togo decisive
battle. 1t is assumed that RojestVen-
sky will bring all the ships and guns
possible into action if he intends to
fight decisively or he will detach and
abandon his slow, cumbersome and
useless ships if he intends to run the
gauntlet to Vladivostok. 1t is believed
that the location and date of the en-
gagement will depend entirely on Ro'
jestvensky.

knowledge, she said, was wlen she
fired several shots at a burg. ar.
When this revolver was found in
Young's baggage soon after ta@ end of
the last trial the counsel lof the de-
fense claimed that it proved con-
clusively that witnesses had testified
to what was not true when they said
that Young never had owned a re-

When Mr.. Rand offered in evidence
the Julia Smith letter, which had been
identified by Mrs. Young, Recorder

1t was upon this letter that the indict-

EXODUS IS Unprecedented
RUMORS OF POPULAR OUTBREAK
CAUSE CONSERVATION AT
ST. PETERSBURG.

st. Petersburg, April 28.-A feeling
akin to CONSERVATION has been caused
by the publication in the morning pa
pers of renewed rumors of an impend-
ing popular outbreak. 1t is feared that
the slightest incident, accidental or
malevolent, among the vast congrega-
tions which will attend the churches
on Saturday night may cause panic,
with appalling consequences. The
mayor is being urged to convene the
municipal council and take special
measures to cope with the situation
and 1t is expected that the project OF
police will issue a reassuring procla-
nation, but the alarm is so great that
Ii would have little effect. The eXo-
dus at Easter will be unprecedented.
All the accommodation at the neigh
boring resorts has already been en-
gagged.
