Wheat.-Thc main problem in the
wheat position at the present time is
the question of distribution of worlds
supplies and whether importing coun-
tries abroad will be willing to pay the
American price. when they can get
wheat cheaper in the markets of the
Southern Hemisphere. 1t has been
stated that large feet of steamers
was recently dispatched from Great
Britain to Australia for carrying food
stutfs to Europe, and Argentine is just
now harvesting a new crop which is of

Corn The corn market was again
under heavy pressure and prices de-
cined about 8 cents a bushel making
net loss of u Y to l3 cents from the
high point of last Wednesday, when
the recent bull movement came
to an end. The probability Of
increased competition from the Argen-
tine has apparently brought about
a freer movement from the coun-
try and receipts at the primary points
yesterday were the largest for any one
day so far this season. Under tnis
pressure cash markets were generally
lower, and the trade was looking for
cutie a liberal run Of corn during the
present week Predictions of lower
level of hog values also were factors
in the market, and reports that pro-

the West led to the belief here that

Tracts in North Pacific
as Large as This Country
With UnfathOmed Depths

There has been discussed the need
Of a comprehensive exploration Of the
Pacific ocean. 1t Is believed, observes
a writer, that such an undertaking
should be on far greater scale than
has hitherto been attempted, and that
future work should be broadly areal
rather than local, as on single islands,
or linear, as in single voyages. The
work Of the magnetic survey ship Car
negie, which makes repeated trips over
many interviewer sea routes, is an ex-
ample Of the kind of exploration that
Is wanted. In the opinion of men Of
science, 1t should be continuous
through ten or twenty years. 1t has
been shown how little definite infor.
nation the world has about the largest
Of the oceans. One specialist declares
that in the north Pacific there is o
tract twice as large as thF9 United
States that has been crossed by only
a single line Of sounding ut intervals
Of 250 miles wide, and that there nre
number Of tracts as large as this
country that are entirely nnfathomed.

BottomIess Pools Mysteries
of Chimney Rock Section of
Mountains of North Carolina

Nowhere else on our continent are
more pronounced evidences found Of
natures tremendous cataclysms than
in the mountain sections Of western
North Carolina. Granite powders
split in twain as by giants hammer,
mighty assures torn in the sides OF
lofty peaks, beds Of streams upheaved
in colossal mounds of jagged rock, or
with great cavernous holes rent In
them-these are seen on every side.
One Of the so-called mysteries is the
"bottomless pools" in the far-famed
Chimney Rock section. The gorge
through which pours the flood OF
Rocky Broad river is great f1ssure
torn through the very heart Of the
mountains. From the moment the
waters enter the head Of the gorge the
river becomes tempestuous torrent,
plunging along bowlder strewn bed,
sending rocks grinding against rocks,
leaping downward in series Of cas-"
cades to disappear at length with
wild plunge into the Dottomless pools.
No one knows how deep they are.
Every effort to sound them has been
without success. At the foot Of a
cataract the first Of these pools pre-
sents q boiling surface, from which
leaps upward binding spray, drench'
ing the limbs Of trees that hang high
above it. The second pool Is like a
simmering pot, while over the rim Of
the third, or last of the pools, the over
flow trickleS with a musical Gurgle,
spreading out into shallow crystal
stream that ambles away gently to the
valley beyond the cascades.

ASKS FOR FEDERAL. AID
Secretary Lane Seeks Eduea-
tionaI Appropriation.
Informs House Committee %iIIiteracy Is
the Root Of Present indus
trial Unrest.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Secretary
Lane, in appealing to the house edu-
cation committee for immediate action
on a pending bill to provide 1880 900
federal aid annually to states spend
ing like sums for the education and
development Of %illiterates, said litter
acy was the root of American indus
trial labor troubles.
Passage of the measure at this ses-
sion was urged by the secretary as
one of the most important duties of
congress.
He said destructive agitation could
be COPIED with and American ideals
understood only when foreign born
workers understood the American
language. The recent strike in the
copper mines in Montana, the commit
tee was told, resulted from interior
ence of foreign speaking I. W. WIS
with native miners" More than half
the men in some Of the largest indus
tries are foreign born, Mr.. Lane said.
The secretary called attention to the
fact that millions were spent by the
federal government to fight animal dis
eases, compared with the 100000
pent for education through the bureau
of education.

Declines to Prevent Deportation
OF Aliens Being Held at
Ellis Island.
RIGHTS NOT VIOLATED
Judge Knox Declares That He Must
Frown Upon Any Practice of OBJ
taining Blanket Writs of
Haheas Corpus.

New York, Feb. 15.-Federal Judge
Knox dismissed a writ of habeas
corpus sworn out in an attempt to
prevent deportation of So aliens
brought here from western cities.
The court held that the petition for
the writ failed to show any violation
OF the rights of the deportees.
However, in view Of the contention
of attorneys who claimed to represent
the prisoners, that refusal of immigra.
tion authorities to give them access to
Ellis Island, had prevented from from
obtaining information necessary to
specific allegations, Judge Knox an
nounced that the dismissal was with
out prejudice. If inspection of the de-
portation records revealed indications
OF injustice to any of the prisoners, he
stated, the writ, as relating to them,
might be renewed.
Frowns on Blanket Writs.
The court declared that he must
frown upon. any practice of obtaining
blanket writs of habeas corpus to re-
view the eases of persons, perhaps
hundreds in number, ordered deport-
ed from various sections Of the coun-
try.
This statement was regarded by at
torneys as significant in view of Com
missioner of immigration Caminetti's
announcement that approximately
5000 persons were awaiting deporta-
ton, several score of whom are al
ready on the way to New York and
other ports.
The judges pronouncement was of
interest also as relating to a statement
by attorneys who argued for the writ
that the National, Civic Liberties asso-
citation and the New York bureau of
legal advice were cooperating in an
effort to assure justice" to men and
women assembled here for enforced re-
turn to their native lands.
Fifteen Glad to Leave.
OF the So men and one woman
named in the writ, the government
announced, 20 had signed a statement
requesting Walton Nellis to inquire
into their detention, while Is or Is
others, according to immigration Off
Gals, declared they wished "to return
to the old country"
When the writ was sworn out Unit
ed States District Attorney Matthews
announced, none of the prisoners had
authorized any lawyer or society to
act in his behalf.
