Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHICAGO. H.. April 24.-Bears and
Wall street joined hands today and made
the closing Of the week in the wheat pit
memorable by sensational raid, which
pulled the price of that cereal down As
cents for May and 3i4 cents for July.
This marks decline of 11L4 cents for May
and 11a cents for July wheat, as COM
pared with the top prices. of April 10,
nine days ago. While Jim Patten of
wheat corner fame was brushing up
against cactus burrs down in Vermajo
Park. n NJ. on his partners ranch. all
the bears in the world and the Wall
street fox appear to have invaded the
Chicago wheat pit
At the opening today there was a rush
of sellers and the July option, which
closed at $1.10h yesterday, was started
off with a break Of ia cents, at 81 .0Sla
but there were no buyers at that price.
In moment pandemonium broke loose
and brokers were offering at prices which
dropped rapidly in a cent decreases, but
no sale was effected until the figure OF
S1.07h was reached. Down the market
went to SLOT but just before the closing
hour it rallied to &1O7T.
The Map option. which yesterday sold
at 81 .22is, was forced down to $1.1S. but
gained little toward the close, 81. .lS3s
being bid.

Rule to Be Only Nominal

CoNsTANTINoPLE. April 24.-Should
the sultan remain in office 1t will merely
be in nominal way.
His allowance will be greatly restricted
He will have no means for further agita-
ton should his mind turn again in this
direction.
1t is crediby reported that the sultan
has distributed within recent days two
million pounds, Turkish, to the troops.
The question of his deposition or his
execution can hardly be considered pos
sibility. He has been tried. It Is true, and
condemned in the minds of the committee
of union and progress as untrustworthy
But IL is authoritatively stated that he
will be allowed TO remain where he Is for
the present.
Modern political ideas. supported by an
army of 10000 from the European prov
inces. are opposed to his ruling. But the
Asiauc provinces, backward and con-
firmed in the Mussulman faith, remain
Yet TO be reckoned with.
Even European Turkey has only a thin
veneer OF education and culture. 1t is be-
lieved that the old order is likely 10 nave

good deal of the bad legislation of the
day.
One thing that adds zest to the con-
troversy is that Senator Aldrich of Rhode
Island, republican leader of the Senate,
has always been counted as one Of Mr..
North's friends and hackers. 1t was he
who had Mr.. North appointed special
clerk to the Senate finance committee
during the preparation OF the Dingley
tariff law.
Congress Is Cogitating.
In the meantime, while the controversy
is in progress downtown, Congress is
trying to make up its mind what 1t will
do with the pending census bill There
Is pretty strong sentiment on the hill
against giving the entire control of the
census to the Secretary Of Commerce
and Labor. II the truth must be told.
Congress has a sort Of liking for rum
ming that office itself. especially in the
matter of appointments. 1t may be a
relic Of the good, old days Of the spoils
system and 1t may not. but be that as II
may. the fact is as stated
The census bill is still in conference
When it IS finally. agreed on by both the
Senate and the House 1t may leave the
law as 1t is in this particular, dividing
the authority between the director and
the Secretary: it may give it all to the
director. or-Which is regarded no less
likely-it may give 1t all to the Secre-
tary.
Bill Carries "Domicile" Provision.
This is the same bill that carries that
provision, added in the Senate, making it
necessary for applicants for all govern
ment positions to take a civil service ex
animation in the state in which they
claim residence. and to be actually
"domiciled" in that state for year
previous, which would result in eliminat-
ing the District people. who now can
claim residence In the states from which
they originally came. from chance to
take their examinations here and get
into the service under the apportionment
of the state. the Districts apportionment
being always filled to the brim and rum
ming over.
1t is even rumored that the House
machine has a mind to keep this confer
ence report hanging fire until after the
census bill Is finally passed and signed,
just 80 there may be something to give
members of that body to do, in order that
they may be kept out of mischief, II that
should be necessary.
So there's a pretty how d do, and no
body knows what will come out.

Dean was bachelor. notwithstanding
his apparent philanthropy toward the

STREET CLEANING THE THEME
CONFERENCE OF DISTRICT OF.
FICIALS LAST NIGHT.
DR.. Woodward, Health Officer, Dis
cusses Methods With Supt. Wood
and the Inspectors.

An interesting session was held at the
health Office last night, at which DR.. w.
c. Woodward, health officer; J. NJ. Wood,
superintendent of street cleaning, and the
inspectors of both departments of the
District government were present Health
Officer Woodward invited Supt. Wood and
his inspectors to meet the inspectors in
his department for the purpose of dis
cussing questions OF interest to both
branches OF the service. His object in
having them meet was for the purpose Of
having them engage in an informal talk
upon questions relating to the efforts that
are being made to clean the city, in order
that the work may be sirnplified.
The heads of the two departments also
participated in the discussion, calling at
tention to methods calculated to simplify
the work and prevent Implications. 1t
was admitted that inspectors in both de-
partments work upon the same cases at
times. and with a full understanding about
the work, it is thought, such Implications
will be prevented. A discussion was en-
gagged in about the question Of removing
manure from city stables and weeds from
lots. inspectors telling Of the trouble en-
countered by householders in their eff
forts TO get such work done.
One Plan Suggested.
1t was suggested that drivers of some
OF the registered teams might equip them
selves with an outfit for removing weeds,
while the health officer and superintendent
Of street cleaning agreed to find a dump
ing ground for the refuse from stables.
1t was stated that it Is almost impos-
sible to get manure from stables when
farmers are busy because the drivers of
refuse wagons have no place to dump it.
When q dump is provided, 1t is thought,
no further trouble will be experienced
by owners Of stables.
Considerable Importance was attached
to the question OF the inspectors being
sworn In as special policemen in order
that they may enforce the laws and make
arrests when they find violations. 1t was
claimed that such work would greatly in
crease the efficiency of the service, but
some of the inspectors and their chiefs
suggested that with the increased busden
the inspectors should have some safe
guards thrown about them. They think
there should be some provision made for
them in case of injury or death: that
they should have the benefit Of medical
attendance, and also the benefit of a
pension should they be injured while in
the performance Of their duty.

the government war balloon and expected
to remain in the air for about two hours
had not been heard from at midnight last
night. When last seen the big balloon
was sailing over Maryland in a SOUTH
easterly direction before a breeze that
was blowing at the rate of about fifteen
miles an hour or faster.
1t is not customary for the army officers
who take these little trips in the air TO
report to the War Department by tele-
graph Immediately upon their landing,
and therefore no uneasness would be felt
on this occasion were it not for the fact
that Lieut.. Foulo!s faithfully promised
his young wife to let her know as soon
as he could get TO the other end of a
telegraph wire that he was safe.
At midnight Mrs Foulois was sitting
up waiting anXiouSly fer word from her
husband She said she would not 60 to

Officers Refuse to Be Worried.
No word of any kind had been re-
ceiyed from the expedition up to that
hour by Brig. Gen. Allen. chief signal
officer, but he refused to be worrie L.
Other signal corps officers concurrei
in their chiefs opinion that the three
aeronauts probably had come to eartn
some place distant from railroad sta
tion or telegraph Office, and had found
it impossible to telegraph to their rela-
tives and friends here Their failure to
report at once to the department meant
nothing. according to officers who were
asked about the matter.

admitted they might have gone in the

that they would take no risks, and would
therefore have landed when 1t became ap-
parent that they were headed for the
water.
AS the balloon was filled with illum-
mating gas instead of hydrogen, Capt.
Wallace said they could bring it to the
