Active Today Despite Profit Taking
Provisions Prices Soon Rallied.

Chicago, May 21-Wheat-Firm at
the opening today, and trading was ac-
tive. The chief cause of strength was
the absence of rain in the southwest.
There was big demand from COM
mission houses and the principal sell
ing was by a prominent bull. The zone
of cables was bearish. July opened at
S3A @SSas. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago receipts were 1876 cars.
Additional buying followed report of
liberal decrease in visible supply. July
advanced to SAY. Part of the gain was
lost on profit taking, but the close was
firm; July up IS @A at 1895 @S3A.

Refusal of Nicholas to Receive Deputa-
ton Presenting Reply to Speech
From the Throne Puts Deputies in
Rage and Radicals May Force Crisis
Dissolution of Parliament Predicted.

The Daily Telegraph's ST Peters,
burg correspondent declares that the
days of the Russian parliament are
numbered. He says:
I'm the eyes of the court party the
parliament is already dead, the only
question not solved being how and
and When TO arrange a decent burial.
My belief is that the crown Will DIS
solve the parliament. promulgdte
narrow electoral law, and order new
elections. which will result in the re-
turn of its own partisians.
Deputies in a Rage.
St. Petersburg, May 21.-A bomb
was thrown into the parliamentary
camp yesterday afternoon by note
received by President Mouromtseff of
the lower house from Peterhoff which,
instead of making an appointment for
an audience at which he and
the deputation could present the
address in reply to the speech
from the throne. contained the informa-
ton that Emperor Nicholas would not
receive the deputation and that the ad-
dress must be presented thru the min
istry OF the court.
Disconserted utterly at this unexpect-
ed development, the leaders of the ma
iority in the house hastily summoned
a caucus of the constitutional demo-
cratic deputies. President Mouromt-
self, instead of sending the address to
Baron Fredericks, minister of the nm
perial house, Immediately issued call
for meeting of the parliament at III
o'clock today, at which he will report
the occurrence and ask for further in
structions. A most heated meeting Is
III prospect.
Puts Deputies in Rage.
The first disposition of the caucus OIL
constitutional democrats, which was in
session all the forenoon and evening
and at midnight had not been conclud-
ed. was to regard the refusal to receive
the deputation as a challenge and an
open affront, which was only answer
able by counter declaration of war.
The deputies were red with rage. but
after the first passion had cooled TIE
leaders realized the danger of too pre-
cipitate action and set for themselves
the task of bringing their enraged fol-
lowers under control
Outsiders were not admitted to the
caucus. but thru the glass doors OF the
great hall of the Constitutional Club,
where the session was held. it could be
seen that Professor Milukoff, Prince
Peter Dolgonoukoff, and others were on
their feet time and again pleading with
and commanding their auditors TO act
deliberately and firmly and not ruin all
by unreasonable passion.
Radicals May Force Crisis.
The cooler councils seemed ultimate
ly to be prevailing, but 1t is almost Ger
tain that the radical group, accom-
panied by a portion of the peasants will
break away tomorrow and endeavor to
force the house into some fiery declar-
alton against the emperor and the gov
eminent which might compel an inn
mediate rupture, entail dissolution, and
civil war

CHANGES MARK OF FAME.
Indiana Town Once Noted for Race Track Now Known for
 Race Suicide.

The little town of Roby, Ind, once famous for its race track, now prom ises to become celebrated for race sui eide. The little red schoolhouse, the only educational institution of Roby, has been put out of commission be- cause there are only six youngsters left to attend it. and the district com missioners cannot figure out how they can afford to pay teacher fcg. the edu- cation of half a dozen children. So the pupils have been transferred to the Franklin school at Robertsdale. a mile away. reports the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Two years ago there were 140 pupils at the school. and the race suicide theory seems to be about the only ex- planation for the steadily dwindling attendance. The school is five miles from Hammond. and stands on a cor ner with the metropolitan designation of Indianapolis avenue and One Hun dred and Eighth street. It has been training up the youth of Roby and yi- cinity for 20 years. Members of the sporting fraternity wao were habitues of the old race track used to point with pride to the little schoolhouse as the place of their elementary educa- ton.
 The village of Roby has a population of 800 or 1000.

bellion. Gen. Morales resorted to arms to attain his eminence, deposing Pres ident Alejandro Woz y Gil Scarcely had Morales time to organize his pro- visional government, before another rebellion began, the leader. Gen. Juan Isidro Jiminez. C
 Morales, whose assumption of office was marked by reign of terror-was once priest. Thus it would see even the clergy in San Domingo are at tackled by the presidential mania. We regret to say that Morales is sometimes designated "the Roosevelt of Spanish America" why so-called, ,deponent sayeth not D E
 There really exist no party lines in San Domingo. Charles A. Salowman, who writes as though he knew the country pretty we'll, gives us this glimpse Into conditions: ''The polit- ical happenings are kaleidoscopic. The government adherent of today is the revolutionist of tomorrow. Jimines and Morales fought together for the overthrow of woz y Gil. Jiminez be- lieved that when the fighting should be rewarded with victory he would be again chosen president. But Gen. Morales, who led the victorious rebel army into Santo Domingo City on the surrender of the government dissi- pated these hopes and declared himself chief magistrate of the republic. whereupon Gen. Jiminez began his re volt against his former ally" In con nection with which 1t may be inter esting to recall that when Morales fled the other day. the report immedi- ately was circulated he had gone to join the followers of Jiminez and form a new government with . new capital and new cabinet.
 The indebtedness of San Domingo is vsriously stated. is put at s25.000. 900 and at s32. .0o0. 900: but either figure is pretty large for land of only 600.- 900 people san Domingo is prac- tically in bankruptcy. without the ability to pay and without the ability to organize either government or an economic system in such a way as to secure q compromise with it's creditors, and a gradual payment of it's debt"

Denuso Five Presidents Five Ysars-hconpe Organize

In an article in the North American Review, Senator Newlands, of Nevada, writes thus of San Domingo: ."Revo- lution has followed revolution. Re publican in name, the government is really military despotism, where one dictator succeeds another, each .possi- ply more cruel and more conscienceless than his predecessor. Moneys are bor- rowed and bonds issued at enormous discounts. The bonds are floated, the Interest defaulted, and foreign govern ments, urging the claims of their citi- Eens, are met with the prevailing mis- rule and anarchy as reason for non payment Concessions improvidently granted are withdrawn or interfered with, and claims arise out of these."
 Not long ago Uncle Sam, as is well known, decided to go down to the in debted and incompetent little country and try his hand there as revenue col iector; hoping in this way in time to satisfy foreign creditors and keep them from declaring one of their peaceful blockades" with not impossible later en- tire ownership by some one of the in terested.

CHEROKEE DOOMED.
Passengers and Crew Rescued by New Jersey Fishermen.
REVOLVER KEPT MEN AT THE PUMPS
Clyde Liner Deep In BriEantine Shoals Sands-Fishing Smack AL berta's Rescue Trip One of
 the Bravest on Record.

Z ATLANTIC CITY, N..'J., Jan. 15.-- All of the passengers and nearly all of the crew of the stranded steamer Cher okee have been safely landed here. Only the captain and two members of the crew remained on the Cherokee, which has now ten feet of water in her hold.
 The Cherokee is the Clyde line steam CT which went ashore on Brigantine shoals on Friday and which is still hard and fast in the sand.
 The Cherokee has been driven far ther in shore by the waves which pounded her during the night, and as a result the task of floating her is an i'm possible one.
 f No attempt to reach the Cherokee from shore or to launch boat from her could be made when she struck because of the condition of the sea. The life savers who boarded the steam CT were conipelled to remain on board, and those who remained at the Brigan- tine station were not willing to ven ture prophecy as to when 1t would be possible to reach them. l. The rescue was mainly accomplish ed by Captain Mark Caste and picked ,ffeMjnthe tsloap,, IaGhtu Aibegtaa and their experience was almost as thrilling as that of the stranded passengers. More than a thousand persons greeted the storm tossed party as the sloop sailed into the inlet with the report that all hands were safe.
 With daring and perfect seamanship that took no heed of the gale or moun- tain waves, while 10000 persons looked on for hours, the passengers and all the crew of the stranded vessel. except the captain, two other officers and the car penter, were rescued by Captain Caste and his brave crew in the fishing smack Alberta.
 Trip by trip in little boat that seem- ed from shore no larger than mans hand, fifty-six men. two women and two children were transferred from the liner to the smack. The distance be- tween tnc bodts. sonlcuines uits iccts sometimes cables length. was boiling water, but over that perilous way fif- teen times the cookie shell was hauled, and all who would go were taken from the vessel.
 When rescue was in sight some of the crew left their posts. The officers drew their revolvers and compelled them to return to work. 5'N1''7
 It was one of the most daring res cues from shipwreck and death that has occurred along the Atlantic coast in many years. The ship is going to pieces. The cargo is ruined. The en- zines have been carried away. Thou sands of rats. driven from below by the water in the hold. swarm the decks.
