The Markets
Wheat Gossip.

Chicago, Oct. S.-The government
report will be given to the public at
1 p. M, Chicago time. 1t Is one Of the
most important of the year, as it
gives the preliminary estimate of the
yield per acre and the total crop of
spring wheat, oats, and barley in
bushels.
Traders who were bulling on wheat
last night said that the buying of
j, 100000 bushels of December wheat
by Darrell & Co., was for Armour
President Marcy of the Armour
Grain Co. was in New York and it
was the general gossip that the orders
had come from New York.
There is only large line of short
wheat known to exist and that has
not been covered as far as the best
informed people knew last night.
Traders who were recently bear
ish, said that they did not expect
much of a decline as long as cash
premiums continue so great or until
we get much larger visible supply.
Few traders were real ear in their
ideas as to the immediate future OF
values because of the evening up that
has taken place on the last 3 cents
advance in three days.
Corn bears are very confident of
their position and put out fresh lines
yesterday.
There were number of good corn
men, however who said that prices
were low enough.

TO REACH EVERY BIG CITY.

f-anscontinentai Trunk Limo Of Ex-
eeptional Efficiency Which Would
Subordinate All independents Pro-
jeeted-Syndicats Being Formed to
Carry Out Late Miliionairs's Plans.
The waking dream Of the late Ed
ward Fl. Hartman, the railroad genius,
was to organize one dominating rail-
road system in the United States with
authority over all transportation bust.
ness of the country. One powerful
group of fnanciers is being organized
to carry out the inancier's plans. The
lesser groups Of railroad owners and
the independent systems are trying to
organize to combat these capitalists.
1t was the Hartman idea to estab-
ush one magnificent trunk line between
New York and San Francisco. The
freight and passenger service Of this
grand transcontinentai trunk line was
to be so superior to all other railway
services between the two oceans that
it could command the cream Of all
the high class transportation business
at good rates. The low grade bust
ness was to be left to other lines,
which would get just as much business
as was allowed them by the master
railway men controlling the 6aren,
trunk line.

FIVE FIRE ALARMS
Within Few Hours-FIue Fires Kept
Department on the Run.

Yesterday, beginning at about 1870
was the fire company's busy day, and
they had no time to entertain com.
pany or hold snow carnivals. The
flue fire was busy in several parts of
the city, and the boys made num-
Der of hard runs.
The first alarm came at 4:S5 from
the home of Mrs. Hogue at S24 John
street, where a flue was burning; the
second alarm came at 5:15 from the
home of Mrs. Murrell, 302 Esplanade,
and was another flue fire; alarm No.
three came at 6:15 from the Fullin-
wider residence, on Rusw street-a
burning flue; alarm four came at
7:45 from negro house at the corner
of Queen and Lacy, and here, too, a
flue was the trouble; alarm five, and
the last of the evening and night,
came from the Hedges home on
Hodges street, and was also burning
f1ue.
Luckily very little damage resulted
from any of the fires. But the fire
men earned their salary and slept
with good consciences the rest of the
night

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 12-In a
speech on the floor of the senate to-
day Senator Foraker denounced De-
tectiyes Bryan and Baldwin, who Sc
cured the alleged confessions from the
negro soldiers in the Brownsville af-
fair. The senator charged that the
employment of the detectives in this
connection was illegal and says the
fifteen thousand dollar fee paid them
is illegal. In short, he charged the
detectives with securing the money
under false pretenses, and called the
attention of the law officers to the
fact that they should be prosecuted.
He read letters from a dozen or more
soldiers denying that they had made
any confessions, and produced affi-
davits saying that the Conyers con-
fession was a pure fabrication. The
senate passed a resolution offered by
Foraker directing the secretary of the
treasury to report the expenditures of
the three million dollars appropriation
from which the fifteen thousand fee
was paid to the detectives.

SUIT IS TO Be FILED

MAJORITY OF THE COMMISSION
REQUESTED ACTION AGAINST
f lNTERNATloN AND GREAT
NORTHERN RAILROAD.
Nj. Co|quitt Protests
Assistant Attorney General WaIthaIl
Would Not Say Whether the
Petition Would Be Filed
In Anderson or Travis
County Courts.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 1.-THE attor-
ney general, through Assistant James
D.. Walthall, advises the Railroad
Commission that suit is to be insti-
tuted against the International and
Great Northern railroad to forfeit its
charter on grounds of insolvency and
also to bring proceedings to compel
the railroad to put the road in safe
physical condition and to cancel the
receivers certificates issued for pro-
ceeds to be used in paying interest.
The letter of advice states that the
suit for forfeiture of charter will be
filed as soon as the petition can be
prepared. Mr.. Walthall was not pre-
pared to say when the petition would
be filed or whether it would be pre-
sented in Travis or Anderson coun-
ty. 1t viii be brought on the attorney
generals initiative without further ac-
ton by the commission.
As to the other proceedings, which
will have to occur in the federal court
where the receiver was appointed, it
