WHEAT PANIC CLOSED.
Patten Fixes Price at SI.34 and Re.
fuses to Send it Higher.


Chicago, May 31.-May wheat
walked out of the pit of the Chicago
Board of Trade today with head up,
firm step and not sign of wavering
anywhere-the second time in the
history of the board when "a wheat
corner was carried through successfully
to the final day of the option. The
only other successful deal was that in
September wheat conducted by B. P.
Hutchinson, more than 20 years ago,
when the price touched 81.
Opening at $1.34, which was a cent
higher than the close of yesterday, the
market remained steady during the
trading hours, finally closing at the
opening price. Mr.. Patterns brokers
stood ready all morning to sell to any
one who wanted to buy at the quoted
price, and they also stood ready to buy
from any who wanted to sell at that
price. 1t is estimated that the trading
in the option amounted to about 150,-
900 bushels.
1t is believed that Mr.. Patten has
about 5000, 900 bushels of cash wheat
on hand to dispose of. Experts say
that, owing to the recognized scarcity
of milling wheat, he will be able to
sell his possessions at prices ranging
from $1.25 to today's closing quota
tions. 1t is said that within the last
few days local millers have paid from
l to 2 cents above the May price to gel
milling wheat.

Great Britain Wants Naval ALI.
anCe With United States.
AUSTRALIA IN FAVOR OF POLICY
British Would Guard Atlantic and Un-
Gle Sam Take Care of Pacific
Leave Out Japan.

London, May 29.-Overtures looking
to a naval understanding between
Great Britain and the United States
have been made by the British govern
ment through Ambassador Bryce, in
Washington. Premier Asquith had
this fact in mind when speaking re-
Gently in what was regarded as cryp-
tic manner of "two-power" standard
for the British navy. The premier
hopes that such an understanding may
be reached with the American govern
ment as shall enable Great Britain al
most to denude the Pacific of British
warships of formidable class in re-
turn for giving America certain assur-
ances respecting the naval situation in
the Atlantic.
The suggestions made by Mr.. AS
quith through Ambassador Bryce fol-
low the lines lately laid down in an ar
ticle by Captain Mahan on the naval
position which has attracted wide at
tention in authoritative circles in Eng
land. The British cabinet feels that
only an understanding with America
can enable Great Britain to maintain
two power standard in Europe.
If the Americans will look after our
interests in the Pacific, said respon-
sible naval authority this afternoon.
1--WE will take care of all American in
terests in the Atlantic and Mediterra-
mean. We recognize the difficulty of
inducing America to break with the
tradition of not entering into entangl
ing alliances, but we are not without a
hope that the situation in the Pacific
may lead the authorities in Washington
to think favorably of proposal which
would admit of their concentrating the
American naval strength in that ocean"
The British government is inclined
to seek naval understanding with the
United States on account of the possi-
bility of Japan's declining to renew
the Anglo-Japanese alliance when it
expires. Australians never cease to
urge the mother land to separate its
policy from that of Japan in the Paci-
| fic, and try to unite the strength of the
English-speaking race in that part of
the world.

1000 anxious real estate spectators
from all over the United States and
Canada were present when the official
sale of lots at Prince Rupert, the new
Pacific terminal of the Grand Trunk
Pacific, began. The bidding was spir-
tied and the prices realized were re-

the site is at present practically moth
ing but great waste of stumps and
rocks. Over $3.50, 900 worth of lots
were sold yesterday, most of them

KRUPPS LOSE ROYALTY.
Processes for Hardening Armor Have
Been Perfected in America.

Been Perfected in America.
Pittsburg, May 28.-Mystery sur
rounded the visit of Baron Won Boden-
hansen, of Krupp interests, to America
until today. For some time no royalty
has been paid Krupp by American
makers of armor plate, as Midvale,
Carnegie and Bethlehem interests now
have each an armor plate hardening
system of their own. 1t is $13 per ton
cheaper also, as this is the royalty
which the American makers have been
paying Krupp for years.
Baron Won Bodenhausen came to
America for the purpose of clearing up
the armor plate case. The Germans
have not believed that the American
makers could have invented three diff
ferent forms of hardening plate. The
loss of revenue to the Germans has
been very great, 30 the baron came
here to re-establish that revenue il
possible.
That the American companies had
each invented armor plate processes
came as distinct news to Pittsburg,
The coming of the German baron ap
pears to have made publicity impera
tive. Krupps question the legality o1
the American processes, and the Amer
leans express willingness to demon
strate that their process is no infringe
ment. At armor plate headquarters il
is stated Krupp's American royalties
amounted to 81, 900, 900 annually.
