Calls Rasmussen's Story of Little
Value.

Washington. Oct. 23.-Commander Rohar,
l. Peary' the Arctic explorer has tele-
graphed to scientific friends here that Il
was impossible for Knud Rasmussen. tho
Danish explorer. to have seen any OF the
members OF the DR.. Frederick A. Cook

sen at Copenhagen lacks authority is the
substance of Peary's latest message.

sURE-THING BETToRs WARY.
Three More Wagers Placed on Gaynor
and One on Sullivan.

Two bets of $1,000 against $500 each were
made yesterday on Judge Gaynor at the
Hoffman House, with Charlie Mahoney as
the stakeholder. MahOney said that $500
had been laid against $3.50 on the same
candidate, and another wager OF s., 100 to
$1,000 had been made that Christopher D.
Sullivan would be the next Sheriff of New
York County. With the four wagers made
yesterday, the total number which have
been made with the veteran stakeholder
thus far in the campaign has reached
nine-the smallest number at this stage of
campaign that Mahoney can recall.
There is only one reason for the apathy
Of the bettors this year." said Mahoney
yesterday, "and 1t isn't the anti-gamblir e
law, either. The Hoffman House is where
the sure-thing bettors congregate and this
year they admit that they cannot dope
out the winner. Consequently they areri.s

Washington, Oct. 23.-A general order

next week Pending a decision regarding
every detail OF the order involving the sta

the Philippines. and it will give the home
stations upon their return from the islands
OF the 18th, 23d and 4th regiments Of in

FLOOD PATTEN WITH WHEAT.
Over 100000 Bushels of May Wheat
Delivered to Big Bull.

Chicago, May 3.-Had James A. Pat
ten been in Chicago Saturday personally
to pay over in gold all the money re-
quired to take care of the wheat deliv-
cred on May contracts he would have
had to use shovel and scoop the gold
pieces out rapidly. 1t required some
where between 100000 and $780,
900 to pay for the 100000 bushels of
wheat delivered to the Bartlett Patten
house half on hour before the opening
Saturday.
1t is estimated that the average price
of the big Patten line of wheat was
around $1.O5, possibly as high as $11O.
This big quantity of wheat was deliv-
cred to Bartlett, Patten & Co. by the
Armour Grain company, Peavey-Hul-
bird-Warren, Lowitz & Co. and Others.
It was mostly wheat of the hard vari-
ETY., as No. 2 red winter is a scarce ar
ticle and commands a premium of IS
to 20 cents over the May price, and
naturally would not be delivered on
contract.
This is only the start of the delivery
on May contracts, and more wheat can
be passed around by those who have it
to deliver any morning or afternoon
during the month.
Instead Of the heavy delivery of
wheat on May contracts being bear
feature is is helpful to buyers, because
it properly passes into the hands Of a
concern which viii proceed to merchan-
disc it and ship it out Of Chicago.
As for the bears who were going TO
bury Patten with millions Of bushels Of
wheat when May ] arrived, they have
either crawled into their caves or are
buried beneath the snowdrifts in the
northwest, it is declared.
