A BIG TUMBLE IN WHEAT

Visions of S1.25 wheat hav'
| vanished and persons who at
temped to force the grain to tina
figure now contemplate the folly
IT their efforts. The crash occurred
Saturday in Chicago, where TIT
tremendous corner in May whea
by John w. Gates was shattered
and destroyed, the whole structure
going to irrevocable smash to thu
accompaniment Of a yelling,
shrieking chorus Of frenzisd and
unbridled mob. The wreck II
unrivalsd in the history Of the
grain trade. The downfall Of the
Letter deal, the Harper deal or
the Phillips corn deal cannot be
compared to it for far-rsachins
effect or for the sensational cir
cumstancss attending 1t. In five
hours May wheat went down BY
leaps and bounds until it had
scored . decline Of III cents, the
bottom figure being sS4 cents. The
inevitable closing rally brought 1t
back TO 81, and there it closed,
1.-THE net decline being 10 cents.
This was drop Of Is cents for
1.-The week, and of % cents in less
than six weeks.
The panic began even before
the opening of the market. Almost
'frenzied in anxiety, the traders,
before the opening bell, were
huddled in groups, like terrified
animals about to stampede. The
sound of the big bell was the
signal for a mighty roar of voices,
q din never equaled even in tine
stormy sessions that marked the
wrecking of the famous Letter
and Harper deals. Clothing was
torn. hats smashed and bodies
bruised in the frantic efforts Of
the traders to sell the grain. Shorts
had apparently completely cover
ed, and longs, little aud large,
hurled their grain at the hands
that were closed against it. Nobody
Aeemed to want May wheat above
b dollar. Fortunes were made and
engulfed in . second; rich Ten
became psupsrs and penniless
i'pikers' rose to affiuence and
power.
1t is evident from the course OF
the market that the syndicate OF
Spectators which had been ma.
nipulating prices has abandoned
the effort to "cOrner" the market.
Thus another attempt to control
the supply of necessary Of life
has come togrief, a. did many
previous essays in the
game direction. No one will waste
any sympathy upon the projectors
Of the scheme, and the legitimate
business Of the country will be
greatly benefited by the rsadjust-

Confederate Flags Returned to
Southern State

~OhA<uCAatC rags A%tNAhVN "
Southern State
The return OF tie Confederate
battlefags to the Southern States by
the Federal Government has teer
hailed with great JOY by the old heroes
who wore the gray, and these tattered
emblems OF more strenuous days are
highly priced by those who followed
them SO devotedly on so many fields.
Their were sixty-three OF the Virginia
flags returned, and they are carefully
stored away in the Confederate
Museum of Richmond, which was the
home Of President Davis during the
Civil War. They were shipped there in
q long wooden box from the War De-
partment. each carefully wrapped in
a separate package The box also
contained a number OF flags on
the poles on which they were originally
used during the war.
The box was placed In the Museum
pending a final decision Of Governor
Montague as to what disposition he
will make of the valued relics, but 1t
is thought the Governor will finally
determine to allow them to remain
where they are.
There has been good deal OF talk
along the line that the Governor will
probably accede to the request OF
the ex-Confederates to be allowed to
carry the coveted relic In the parade
on the occasion of the reunion to be
held in Louisville next summer, and
1t is altogether likely that he will do
SO, as he has always been ready to
hear the voice Of the old soldiers, and
every one knows the flags would be
in absolutely safe hands and would
receive the utmost care and atten-
ton.
The assortment OF flags returned to
Virginia ia indeed interesting. There
Is, for instance, a flag OF the State,
made OF fine blue silk. which saw
service all through the war, and which
was presented by the ladies of Bath
county. God Protect the Right"
10 the inscription.
Another flag OF great interest and
historic value Is that Of the Second
Infantry. This old relic went
nearly all through the war, and is
now but q mere fragment, having been
5orn almost into shreds by Federal
bullets.
The Fourth Infantry flag is perhaps
he one of the greatest public interest.
It was in all the big battles OF the
'amous "Stonswsll Brigade" and was
captured at the battle OF the wilder
less, May 10, 1854. 1t bears all
inscription, Rebel Battlehag," show
ne also the date Of It's capture.
Upon the flag is likewise printed in
arge type, the names OF the battles
through which it passed. These include
First and Second Manassas, Win
hester, Kornstown, Harper's Ferry,
jold harbor, Charlottesville and
The flag OF the Forty-seventy Vir.
inia Infantry is among the very
Interesting ones. 1t was captured
VI the First Michigan Cavalry at the
attic OF Falling Waters.
The Ninth and Forty-eighth Vir-
inia Infantry flags are both interest
,g, and are highly priced by the old
eterans.

Secretary Taft FsyOrs De-
 yelOpment of Alaska

Secretary of War TAft has become greatly interested in Alaska and he fA- vors an elaborate plan for the building of roads and the development of the dis trlct.
 A recent dispatch from Washington to the Seattle Times says:
 "Some highly significant develop ments have appeared in regard to leg islation flor Alaska, and if signs count for anything it will not be long before a comprehensive scheme of laws for the territory will be put through congress.
 Secretary of War Taft, who has been and still is closely identified with the progress of federal affairs In the Philippines, has within the last few days manifested brAnd-new interest in Alaska. Mir. Taft today explained his presence at the conference held last week at the White House when the pre- sident signed the Alaska WAgonaroad and school bill
 |"I did not like that bill, "said Taft to your correspondent. ''I did Dot like i: at all.
 ''When pressed for an explnation the secretary continued:
 "'It was not that the bill was bad It was simply this: Iobject to this patch work kind of legislation, and for that great territory. It is disgrscetul that Alaska has not had the benefit long be- fore this time of a broad, comprehen- sive scheme of Legislation. These peo- pie ought to have some kind of gov ernment.
 "Mr. Taft has talked with the presi- d mt and the attorney general, and it really begins to look as If the admin istration and congressional leaders would get t4gether with s view to giv- ing Alaska what it needs.
 "The president, Secretary Taft and powerful members of the Adminlstra- tion are interested in the question of building railroads in Alaska, and S fed ersl guarantee of interest on the bonds ot a trunk line road Is among the Possi- bilitiCs.
 Senator Allison has promised his support for the Alaska delegate bill which was passed by the house last yea and is now on the calendar. Sen ator Beveridge, Senator Nelson and others have also promised 10 try to bring the measure to avote. The pres ideut and Secretary Taft are outspoEen in favor of the delegate proposition"

Whitehorse Copper Proper
 ties Show Up We'll

The returns from the last shipment of ore made from the Copper King, one of the famous copper properties of Whitehorse, were highly satisfactory to the owners of that mine. It is au- thoritiyely stated that from 52 tons of ore sent to the Ladysmith shelter, the smelling company's check for s95O was received in return. This was the net proceeds to the mine owners, and represented the value of the ore after deducting smelling charges and freight charges from the mine to Lady smith, all of which, including carriage from the mine to the W. P. X Y. R. station, was billed as advance charges, and paid at Ladysmith by the shelter.
 It is said that it cost s9 per ton to mine the ore. This would leave a net profit of sl0 per ton.

ATHLETIC PEACE
MAY SOON ENSUE-
Meeting of Georgetown
Committees Today.
AWAITED REcT0H'S RETURN
Reason Given for Delay IN Georgetown-
Virginia Negotiations-Few
Changes in Agreement.
AWAITED REcT0R'S RETURN

Peace between Georgetown and the
University OF Virginia will probably re-
suit from conference which Is TO be
held tomorrow at Georgetown between
]. Hadiey Doyle. Dr. S. S. Adams. ard
DR.. Russell, the committee which went
to Virginia TO talk over matters with the
University of Virginia representatives,
and the advisory committee which he's
charge OF Georgetown's athletics.
It was announced yesterday that mat
ters had been quiescent so long because
Father Jerome Daugherty. rector OF
Georgetown, had been in the West In
dies for his health, and had just re-
turned. 1t was desired TO close the deal
with Virginia at once, and the meeting
was called at the earliest possible mo-
ment after Father Daugherty got back.
All Around Resumption.
While none concerned will talk, those
in position 10 know predict that all
the rough places will be smoothed over,
and that next fall there will be one or
more football games between the two
rivals, with baseball to follow in the
spring and Virginia field and track men
competing IL Georgetown meets. This is
a consummation which has long been
devoutly wished. and the news that
peace is in the air will be welcomed.
1t is said that an agreement was not
signed some time ago because the Vir-
ginians were not SO sure about the alb
so!ute authority OF the Georgetown CON-
sultfng comm tee 20 act definitely. and
rather than have any doubts about the
validity of its acts. haste was made
slowly and everything held up for the
return of the rector. The report is that
the agreement which has already been
published will be accepted, except for
certain minor changes OF little import
which were suggested in the interim for
reflection since the committees first got
together.
