Van Horn, who was arrested here yes

Canadian end Of the railway bridge be-
tween this town and st. Croix, N. B.,
was carefully guarded at the immi-

No formal charge had been preferred
against Van Horn, who said he was
an officer in the German army and that
he had exploded the dynamite as an
act of war. He made no objection to
his detention in custody of a county
deputy sheriff but insisted that he had
committed no offense for which he
could be extradited to Canada.

.RUM0Rs OF PEACE
S7ARTLE BROKERS
WHEAT MARKET REACTS UPON
RECEIPTS OF UNCONFiRMED
NEWS FROM EUROPE.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Peace rumors
dealt sudden blow today to high
prices of wheat. At the outset, as
much as 8 cents bushel was knocked
off the value Of the May delivery, in
which, however, transactions were
relatively small. The July option, in
which business chiefly centered. was
given setback of cents at the open
ing. May sold as low as $1.57, where
as the close yesterday was $1.65.
The break in prices, however, was
only temporary, and soon May wheat
touched new high record, $1.65h.
Fear Of the opening Of the Dardan-
elles had considerable to do with the
wildness of the fluctuations in wheat.
Reports, though, that several Of the
chief forts defending the strait had
been demolished were not fully
credited, and did not have a lasting
effect. The same was true of the
peace talk, which rested on gossip as
to action by Sfinanciers likely to be
taken by May 1.
During the break May reached for
moment as low as $1.56%, a fall of
SIC.
The scene in the pit gave little hint
Of any greater strain than usual.
Actually there was less business than
usual, as heavy calls for margins made
trading nearly prohibitive to smaller
spectators. May wheat jumped event
ually to $166, making the range cover
ed by that option cents. July, drop
ped S cents, to $1.3s, but recovered
to s1.40A.
Stop loss selling was renewed later.
near the end of the day and
the market gain broke badly. Latest
prices were as much as 6Ac under the
top prices of the session, May finishing
weak at $159A and July at $1.3Sss.

GERMAN AUTHOR REPORTS THAT
RULER LOOKS WITH CALM.
NESS ON CRITICS.

Munich, Germany, Feb. 8. The
Neueste Nachrichten has published an
interview with DR.. Ludwig Ganghofer,
the German author, in which is given
a further account of the writer's vi it
to Emperor William at the imperial
field headquarters. Dr. Ganghofer
says:
'I heard and saw an example of the
emperor's quiet patience with SANDER
GUS statements that should be in
structiye for us all Remarks of such
nature embitter him but even in his
greatest excitement he never loses the
mastery Of his tongue. heard him
say in such a case: That is strong,
but it is silly also. 1t is fortunate til
truth always is wiser in the long run
and that it has longer legs
"The knightly conduct of individual
in the field gladdens EN-
peror Williams continues DR.. Gang
hofer, "and rarely have heard any
man speak SO justly and appreciatively
Of the good qualities, the courage and
the accomplishments Of the nation S
enemies. Even against England |
heard from the emperor no unmeasured
word spoken in anger. Every verdict
he pronounces, severe as it sometimes
is is always within the bounds of SUI
preme reserve. Nevertheless there is
a slight but hardly noticeable vibra-
ton in his majesty's voice when the
subject is our Germanic cousins across
the channel"

REASON FOR UNPRECEDENTED
ADVANCE IN WHEAT.

Chicago. Feb. 3.--As a result Of the
unprecedented activity Of the wheat
market and the advance in price Of
bread and other bakery products, the
governments investigation of wheat
and flour prices became more pressing
today.
Charles Clyne, United States district
attorney, to bring in the books and
records of number Of big grain COM
panies, among them the Armour Grain
Co.. ]. Rosenbaum Grain Co., and Bart
lett, Frazier & Co. The district at

investigate their connection with ele-
vator lines in the west and northwest
The amount Of grain han6'ed by the
companies within the last six months,
or since the outbreak Of the European
war, and how much grain is stored in
Chicago elevators at present was said
to be the object Of the new inquiry.
Price of bread was advanced from
5 to cents loaf today as result Of
an announcement Of the Master
Bakers association, which represents
about 400 small dealers. Some of the
larger manufacturers, who still are
selling 5 cent loaf, are expected to
announce an advance before the end
Of the week, as their supply of flour,
bought months ago, is nearly exhausted.
Prices of doughnuts, cakes, buns and
other products of the bakeries also
will be raised, it was said.

An Indian expeditionary force is
operating at the head of the Persian

Kurna had surrendered and that the
town was occupied by the British, who
thus gained control of the country
from the junction of the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers. near which Kurna is
situated, to the Persian gulf.
