Governors Firm Stand Has Soldering
Effect on Trouble Makers.
San Francisco, May 14.-Fifty street
cars were operated yesterday from 10
o'clock in the morning until s o'clock
in the evening over two Of the twenty
odd lines composing the United Rail-
roads system. For the first time since
the commencement of the strike last
Sunday cars were run yesterday to
the ferries. About 10000 passengers,
majority of them women, patronized
the service.
There was very little disorder dur.
ing the day in comparison with the
five days previous. Thousands of per.
sons evidently regarded the published
functions and, private warnings and
remained indoors, for the Sunday
crowds were much smaller than usual.
Unquestionably the firm stand taken
by Gov. Gillette when he announced
that he would Judge the San Francisco
situation by the acts of the people

call out the militia If rioting should DO

Detroit, Mich, May 15.-The mag
nificent new passenger steamer City
of Cleveland, under construction at
the plant of the Detroit Shipbuilding
company for the Detroit & Cleveland
Navigation company and designed to
run between Detroit and Cleveland,
was swept by fire early yesterday and
is a total loss except for her hull and
machinery. How much they have been
damaged cannot be determined until
the hull is pumped out and careful
examination made. The loss, which
falls upon the Detroit Shipbuilding
company, branch of the American
Shipbuilding company, is about $780,
900, and is fairly well covered by in.
surance.
The City Of Cleveland was intended
to be the finest sidewheel steamer on
fresh water, and her interior wood
work, all Of which is destroyed, was
unusually beautiful and lavish. Her
whole cost was intended to be $780,

THREE CENTS AND TRADERS
SEEK COVER. ss s ; 9.a

F Chicago, May II Excitement such
as has not been seen on the board Of
trade since the "black rust scare Of
1904 existed Saturday, when wheat.
which has been steadily advancing for
several days, took another jump OF
more than 8 cents. Frantic efforts
were made to get from under the adj
vance by the bears, but they were met
by demand which came from all
parts Of the country and swept every
thing before 1t.
The high mark for the July option
was 81 Sac, for September SO 3-4c, and
for December So 1-sc. All options
closed very close to the high mark
and with the bullish feeling still una
bated.
The cause Of the upturn which has
taken place in the last few days is
the widespread belief that the crop of
winter wheat this year will show a
notable decrease as compared with
that of 1906. The prevalence Of cold
weather in the West and Northwest,
which is said to be holding back the
crop in those sections; the freezing
temperature in the CANADIAN North
west. which, 1t is said, has prevented
seeding in many sections. and the
damage said to have been done in the
Southwest by the Unsuitable appetite
of the green bug also aided the rush
upwards.

MOST SENSATIONAL OPENING IN
HISTORY OF CHICAGO BOARD
OF TRADE.
COUNTRY ORDERS POUR IN
BUYING ORDERS FROM ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY CROP RE.
PORTS CAUSE 1T.

Chicago, May 15.-In the most SEN
sational opening in the history of the
Chicago board of trade wheat yester-
day shot past the dollar mark. Heavy
realizing sales pushed the price back
ward somewhat, but at the close the
market was strong, and, according to
the majority of the spectators on the
board, the demand upon which the
late advance has been made is still un-
satisfied. The net advance yesterday
for wheat was cents for the July and
September options and 4 1-8 cents for
the December option. From the low
point on Monday of last week July
wheat has advanced Is 3-4 cents, Sep
temper has gone up Is ga cents and
in the December option the high point
of yesterday was 16 3-4 cents above
the low price of last Monday.
Country Orders Pour In.
1t was certainty that strong
bulge would take place in the wheat
market at the opening. Country or
ders had been poured in seemingly in
an endless stream, and in obedience
to them brokers stood ready to buy
millions Of bushels at the market
price. Shorts were in highly nery-
Gus condition and were eager to cover.
The result was that as soon as the
gong sounded there was terrific roar
of voices, all anxious to buy, and no.
body offering to sell The confusion
was so great that for few minutes
but little actual business was trans
acted, the brokers fighting and strug-
Cling in the effort to get hold of wheat
from anybody at any price.
The rush Of buying orders seemed
to come from almost every city in the
United States which was situated
along a telegraph line. The country
at large seemed determined to buy
wheat at whatever price it could be
had.
Caused by Crop Reports.
There were no claims in any direc-
ton that the market was being manip-
ulated. The general opinion seemed
to be that the advance was based
upon natural conditions, which are
certain to curtail in large degree the
worlds coming crop of wheat. The
advices from all parts of the West
and Northwest confirmed the prevl.
Gus reports of damage by weather and
by insects, while kilograms from the
Canadian Northwest declared that
there was still no possibility of seed.

London, May lathe Daily Tele-

reports the accidental discovery and

story from two reliable sources. Ac-
cording to these versions no fewer
than eighty conspirators resolved a
couple Of months ago to assassinate
Emperor Nicholas and plans were
finally fixed for carrying out the deed
during Easter. The plotters included
reserve officers and other officials and
civilians whose loyalty hitherto had
been undoubted. A large number of
plotters, the correspondent says, was
necessitated by the elaborate precau-
tons adopted nowadays to protect
imperial personages. The plan was,
according to the correspondent, to ap-
proach the Tsarskoe- Selo in distinct
groups and then execute sudden and
daring attack on the palace. The first
group, consisting of thirty-four men.
arrived on the Russian Good Friday,
when, from some means unknown, sus-

The whole thirty-four of them were ar
rested at Tsarkoe-Selo and documents
found in their possession led to the
apprehension Of the other members of
