VOL VII ARMOUR'S HAND. Philip, the Great, Making it Warm for the Provision Pit Bears. September Pork Makes a Three- Doilar Jnmp All on the Quiet Speculators in Wheat Waiting 1 to See What the Other Fellows are Goiug: to Do. Corn Takes a Slight Tumble— Dakota Oats Growing in Favor With, the Traders. Wall Street Irreirular— Western Union and Delaware & Lackawanna the Strong est Stocks. CHICAGO. | Special Telesram to the Globe. | Chicago, Aug. 12. — The opening of the markets this morning found speculators more divided in opinion as to the course prices would take than for some time past, and for the first half hour of the session a large business was transacted, with but little change in prices. Foreign markets were quoted dull aud easier. Reports from New York showed continued dullness. Receipts wen; fair, and the weather all that could be desired. The leading articles were higher at the middle of the seSsion, but at other times in easier feeling prevailed. September wheat opened nnd closed at 79c on the regular board, and closed at 78,%' c on the iftemoon board. September corn did the same on the morning board at 49% c, and lost J^c in the afternoon, while oats fell %c and closed at 24% c. The provision market was dull, except for short ribs, which closed at $9.67}. for September, a gain over yester day of 45c. September pork went up from £".20 to $23, aud closed at $22. 50. September lard closed at $7.45, a gain of 734 c. Wheat opened about steady with an un dcrlone of weakness. Some of the local bulls were free buyers early and there were also some outside orders, but there was an evident disposition, notwithstanding this fact and its cheapness, to jump ou it. The most active bear was Bangs, who threw a few lives out as feelers at a fraction below tlie market, but there was a good-sized short interest out, and all offerings were readily taken. Hutchinson was among those who were said to have sold heavily during the early hours, but he is thought to have put it out later. After the first hour the course of the market was downward until about noon, when the feeling became firmer and prices showed a disposition to advance. The cause of tin: strength at this hour was the posting of the visible supply, which showed an Increase of only 1,654,000 bushels instead of between 2,000,000 nnd 3,000,000 as confi dent y expected. Lester, Billy Murray and others aie said to have covered In a big line of shorts. September ranged at 78%@79%c ami closed at 7S>£c. Corn again followed closely the lead taken by wheat. The opening was steady at yes terday's Qgun & ami trading was fairly liberal at Irregular figures. Receipts were the heavi est of the year — 785 cars — while the visible supply showed a decrease of 60,000 bushels where an increase had been expected. This ri rim il up the market for a time, but the (fleet was lost before 1 o'clock, when the feeling was easier and the figures the same as at the opening. On the afteruooD board a drop of ' 4 e was noted. Oats ruled easy and rather heavy. The biggest operator was Hutchinson, who put out 300,000 bushels of year at 24((024, 1 -_c, and offered a million or any part of it at 24% c. The close was easy at a decline of %@}4c. Dakota oats are growing in favor in this market, and to-day Carr it Co. sold a car at BOc, while our No. 9 white sold at 32>_'(S ) 33c. In the provision market rather more jtrength was developed and higher prices were realized in nil the leading descriptions, though extreme figures were not maintained to the close. Offerings ou speculator's ac- Counts were fair and the demand moder ately active. The strength was chiefly due to lighter receipts and higher prices in the hog market, though the supposed corner in ribs had something ti> do with the advance In that article. Pork advanced sharply for September, selling at $:2;i against $20 yester day, bat fell i>tT 50c at the close. Year went up 40c. Lard advanced 7%c and closed at 17.45 for September, and ribs had another boom. The opening for September was at N. :(£'•.,, and they advanced very steadily up to 1 o'clock, when they closed very strong at 19.65. On the afternoon board they were stronger and scored an advance of 2,!_'c. Cudahy A: Stevens were heavy buyers again, and it is whispered that Armour's hand Ls feltiu the deal. Trading was a little slow tn the cattle market. The lack of activity did not result from any lack of demand, however, as there »as a full representation of the different .•hisses of buyers and a pretty general dis position to bay, but the too firm views of holders operated as a check on active trad ing. The light receipts seemed to warrant holders in asking a further udvancc, and they named prices s@lo@lsc above Mon day's rates. Havers would uot respond, ami consequently trade dragged along all the forenoon. Bales do not indicate an v Import ant change from Monday, though the average of prices was a little .higher. Dressed beef shippers were the largest buyers, they taking I nam ber ol prime droves.. Butchers' stock was iv scant] supply and sold as high as any day recently, aud stockers were scarce and very strong. The run of range cattle amounted to about 100 cars. The market da a tritle higher. In the hog mark.'t trade opened early and ictivcly. Puckers were bongry for hogß and there was also a strong shipping demand. The competition carried up prices a plump liV, all grades sharing shoot equally iv the idvanoe. Mnch of the morning trading was ou speculative account, but packers, as USUI, secured the bulk of the hogs. Packers nere very liberal. They exacted scarcely my shrink, while they bid big prices for lots lv list hands and in the bauds of members ;>f the exchange, as au inducement for them lo#ell the hogs with the usual shrink, but so far as could be learned, rule 19 was not violated by any one bound by its :is. The larger part of the good hoes I I before 10 o'clock and the feeling remained tirm to the tiuish.

I Special Telegram to the Globe.] Hii/wackee, Aug. 12. — Foreign advices were unchanged this morning, but local thunder storms in England and the floods in Hungary imparted a steadier tone to the markets on 'change, while continued liberal receipts at winter wheat points prevented an advance. The market opened at 79c for Sep tember, rose to 79J^c, receded to 78% c, and ranged within those extremes with a quiet feeling. October wheat sold at 80@80%c. The increase in the visible supply of 1,600,000 bushels was not near so lurge as had been anticipated, and this gave the market a steadier tone. The Olivers sent a cargo of 23,000 bushels to Buffalo to-day. J. B. Oliver thinks nothing but a succession of business calamities can keep the price of wheat as low as it is. John Plankinton says provisions are looking up, and the jobbing trade has im proved considerably of late. He thinks there will be a decided improvement in the near future.

This brought out a sup ply, and the market sagged. The announce ment by the president "of the Wall street bank that depositors would be paid in full and without delay helped to restore confi dence, and free purchasing by the Gould, Osborue brokers soon put stocks on a firm footing again. Telegraph was about the strongest feature. It advanced early above 65 aud was held there. The Delaware & Lackawanna manipulators bought stocks again, and i it showed considerable strength. There was a lack of activity throughout the morning. What business there was cen tered in about half a dozen stocks. Outside orders were scarce, and there were many in the exchauge who were simply look ers on and not participants. Earnings for the week of the Omaha show -an increase of $3,000, while Northern Pacific gains, $23,000. The Grangers will soon begin to feel the ef fect of the new crops, and we may look for a much more favorable showing from them later on. Already cars which have been idle for weeks are being distributed along their lines for new business. The market was al most lifeless during the closing hour. There appeared no inclination to trade by either side. At the finish there was no auimation. Prices were barely steady, though nearly all stocks showed an improvement for the day. The bulls sustain the market without much effort, but the trouble to-day seems to have been in the scarcity of buyers. ' A. M. Day says: "The market was dull and strong until the last half t hour when prices ran off. We think the pools have been buying some stock in order to keep the tendency of prices upward, but transactions have been too limited to make fluctuations significant. The steadiness of the market under the bank failure is accepted as strong evidence of a much stronger tone. It has been decided to wind up the Wall street bauk, and a receiver will be appointed this afternoou. It is expected to pay de positors fully 50 per cent, this week. De posits about $1,200,000, quick loans $700, -000, paper $300,000, cash $200,000.

Butler's Scheme Would Give the Conutry a Democratic Presi dent and Republican Vice-President. [Special Telegram to the Globe. J Washington, \ug. 2. — If it is Major Gen eral Benjamin Franklin Butler's design as a candidate to defeat an election through the electoral college and throw the choice of a president into the house of representatives, he cannot defeat Cleveland, although he could defeat Hendricks. The present con gress will count the vote and will elect the president if no candidate shall have a majority of all the electors appointed. Each state, uuder the constitution, would have one vote to be cast as a majority of the delegations should direct. The Democrats have the majority in twenty-two states, as follows: Alabama. Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Deleware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Ten nessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. These would vote for Cleveland. The Re publican states, which would vote for Blame, number fifteen, to wit: Colorado, Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusets, Minne sota, Nebraska, New Hampshcir,New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rode Island, Vermont, and Virginia. Florida being equally divided, one Republican and one Democratic mem ber, would uot have any voice in decision. it would then devolve upon the senate to elect a vice president from the two highest in the list of those voted for by the electors for that position. This would place Logan and Hendricks before that body, and the Repub licans being in the majority would elect Gen. Lflgan. So that if Gen. Butler directs his cauvass so as to throw the election into con gress he will give the country a Democratic prcsideut and Republican vice president. lowa Items. rspecial Teleirram to the Globe. l Dks Moines. la., Aug.

Accused of Saving Their Lives by Murder aud Cannibalism. The Navy Department and Gen. Hazen Fall to Contradict the Story. Burial of Lieut, Lockwood— Letter of Thanks From Sergt. Brainard. fSpecial Telegram to the Globe. \ Washington, Aug. 12. — Gen. Hazen was interviewed bp the Globe correspondent to day in reference to the stories pf cannibalism among the members of the Greely party. He stated flatly at first that he knew absolutely nothing about the reports. Finally he ad mitted that he knew something, but what that was he was not willing to divulge, on the ground that the whole affair would be made the subject of congressional investi gation, and that it would be improper to speak on the subject at this time. He was asked to tell what he kuew of the death of Henry, who, it is alleged, was murdered by his companions, and he quickly replied with some show of temper and considerable em phasis: "Really, my dear sir, you must not question me further. I cannot permit it,and now, once for all, I tell you that I will not answer that question." The matter was brought to the attention of Admiral Nichols, the acting secretary of the navy, and he said to the Globe corres pondent: "In my judgement it is ad d lie. That is my opinion. Of course, I can not tell what may have happened in New York, but as far as the statement is concerned that the story is borne out by papers filed in this department it is an absolute and unqualified falsehood. There is nothing here to give the shadow of the color of truth to such a report. We have no intimation of such a thing, and I don't believe it for a moment." There was no means of ascertaining what reports had been forwarded to Secretary Chandler or delivered personally to him. Commodore W r alker, chief of the bureau of,uavigation, was of the opinion that the story was of whole cloth. The dispatches of Commander Schley that it was imperative to place the bodies in metallic caskets he ex plained as follows: "Commander Schley was anxious to bring the bodies back in as good a state of preservation as possible. They were kept in alcohol until they reached St. John. Such a method of transportation was only proper as long as necessary. In these tanks of al cohol the bodies would be knocked about by the motion of the vessels at sea and would be damaged. Hence lt was necessary to place them ln metalic caskets at the earliest opportunity. Besides that," he said, "bodies which were frozen when found, would, you know, decompose rapidly as soon as they reached a warmer cli mate, and it was advisable to care for them before decomposition should take place." | Western Associated Press.) Washington, Aug. 12. — A horrible story is published in the New York Times this morning, that the survivors of the Greely party, crazed by staryation, and cold, FED ON TIIE DEAD BODIES of their comrades, and that written docu ments in possession of the navy department substantiate it. The terrible narrative cre ated a great sensation here, and the admiral, acting - secretary of the navy, was shortly be sieged by newspaper men anxious to ascer tain something official concerning the publi cation. The admiral said positively there was nothingin the navy department confirm ing this story and he doubted its truth. It is possible, however, a report of this nature may have gone direct to Secretary Chandler in New Hampshire, as numerous documents arc forwarded him without examination. Some persons express the opinion quietly that there is something in the story, and say it is beginning to be known the Greely party was not as harmonious as was generally supposed, and that there is a story connected with the expedition which it was intended to conceal, but must now come out the same way the story of the Jeannette's unfortunate cruise came to the knowledge of the public. The Times story was shown Gen. Hazen, who at first was very non-commital, but finally, with decided emphasis, he said: "There are certain facts connected with the matter lam not at liberty to mention. It is very probable, though Ido not say so offi cially, they will be made the subject of con gressional investigation next winter. The story contains some inaccuracies, notably that in which reference is made to devouring amputated limbs of those who suffered the loss of legs aud arms In order to preserve lives." Gen. Hazen was asked what truth there was in the statement that young Henry had been shot and his body eaten. "That is a subject," he replied, "upon which I must decline to be interviewed." '"Is the report that Capt. Schley called you and Secretary Chandler into the vessel's cabin and informed you the survivors had eaten their associates false?" was asked. "That story is untrue." "There is no truth then in the remainder of the published stories that the bodies were eaten I" "I will not say they arc not true. I have but casually glanced at the published stories, other than at those portions which I deny." '•Did you hear any rumors while at Ports mouth that the dead men had been eaten?" "There were rumors of that kind afloat. My official position would not permit me to give the facts in the case." "There are facts then?" "I can't answer that. I had a long inter view with Lieut. Greeley, but the subject of eating the bodies was not referred to. I can imagine a case when cannibalism would be justifiable, and it would be the case where men are starving." "Do you excuse cannibalism in the Greely case?" "Uuder circumstances it would be excusa ble." ''Has Chandler received any report relating to this subject?" "Not that I know of. I have received none." "Is the report that Private Henry was shot and afterwards eaten, false?" "There were rumors at Portmouth that he bad been killed and the survivors had eaten his body, but I decline to gjve any facta in the case I may know." "Will the shooting be the subject of inves tigation by the war department:"' "Not necessarily. Men are shot every day in mutinies and co investigation made. Under some circumstances it might be proper." "Will there be an investigation of the re ported eating of the bodies!" "An investigation conld not be made either by the war or navy department. That is a matter congress will have to look into. Then all the facts will be presented and un til then nothing will be given oat Gen. Hazen says that Greeley's report on the entire expedition will probably be for warded to him within a month. While it was generally conceded that there were no records in Washington that would substan tiate tbe story both the army and navy of ficers among themselves did not view it as an impossibility by any means. Said a navy officer in tbe corridor of the navy department, "while there's no reason I know of for believing the story, the fact that there are no records to substantiate it does not disprove it at all. Look at it as true, is there anything improbable about it? You and I standing here with all the comforts about us look upon such a matter with dread and horror, but you must remember those men were reduced to such a condition their moral faculties were blunted. They should, in fact, not be considered responsible agents. Self preservation was their only thought and they could not be expected to moralize upon it." LETTER FROM SERGT. BRAINARD. Louisville, Aug. 12. — The Evening Times will publish the following correspondence this afternoon: Sergeant Brain ard, who with Lockwood reached the highest northern lati tude ever trod by the foot of man, writes as follows to Henry Clay, of this city: Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Aug. 11, 1884— Mr. Henry Clay, Louisville, Ky. — Dear Sir — In behalf of the few of my comrades now liv ing, and the many who struggled so bravely for life, but had finally to succumb to starva tion, I desire mosUearnestlyto thank you for the kind letter of May,lBB3, written in our in terest and published in the Courier Journal. The advice was sound and practical, and, as itseemed to us then,andas it afterward trans pired, prophetic. With our own views of what was required for our safety it coincided perfectly. It was found in the Proteus wreck cache, landed by Lieut. Garlington near Cape Sabine and was read' and reread in the gloom and darkness of the cheerless, miserable hovel. In appreciation of your noble efforts to succor your former Arctic comrades the camp in which we were then located received your name. I remain, very respectfully, D. L.

Pottsmol'tii, N. g.» Aug. 12. — Searetary Chandler returned here to day. To-night an Associated Press agent visited him ou the Tallapoosa to inquire concerning the truth of the article in to-day's New York Times. The secretary appeared to be considerably agitated. He said: "You may say that I have seen the New York Times and that the navy department has re ceived no such reports Of the shooting of Henry, and cannibalism as the Times gives. Of course you will naturally next ask me is the story true. I say that I decline to say. I refuse to say anything further about the matter." OLD WORLD NEWS.

Lo xdox, Aug. 12. — In tbe commons this evening the appropriation bill passed the third reading. Lord Churchill denounced the enormous growth in the outlay of money, and attacked tbe management of Hugh C. Cbilders, counsellor of the exchequer. The grants under the consolidated fund during 1884 were, he said, £5.000,000 over tbe oat lay during tbe year tbe late government were in office. The present session of parliament had been scandalous and time bees wasted. The government had Introduced bills with no intention of passing them. Especially was this true in the instance of the merchant shipping bill, the introduction of which was a low, miserable election device, emanating from an ill-famed caucus. In regard to the mission of Earl Northbrook to Egypt, he pointed out that the government was entrusting to two members of the financial house of Baring Bros. & Co., Lord Northbrook and Sir Evelyn Baring, the al most unlimited control of England's politi cal and financial interests in Egypt. The goyernment might as well send two Roth childs. The government's steps for the re lief of Gen. Gordon, were insincere, and an other transparent election device. He warned the government that they were mis taken if they expected to rivet the attention of parliament at the autumn session on the franchise question. Childers replied to Churchill and said Lord Randolph evidently thought he had in herited Disrael's mantle. He advised him to adopt just criticism and abandon violent spittles and vulgar abuse. If the house sup porta.the policy of economy the government was only too willing to retrench. Earl North brook had no conncection with the firm of Baring Bros. The attacks upon him were utterly unworthy of Lord Randolph, whose attacks were so frivolous that the house would pay no attention to them. Brooklyn for Cleveland [Special Telegram to the Globe.] New York, Aug. 12. — The controlling element in Brooklyn Republican circles is the Young Republican club. It contains all the bone and sinew and fight that the Re publicans there can muster. Just now it has a tremendous fight of its own on hand. The club i 3 evenly divided over supporting Blame or Cleveland, and it was not until to day that the Blame men would admit that the contest which is to be settled in a short time was in any danger of going against them. To-day they have opened their eyes to the fact that the Cleveland element is likely to predominate. If the club declares for Cleveland, which now seems probable, you can put Kings county down for 20,000 Democratic majority on election day. Brook lyn contains more independent voters to the square mile than any other part of the Union. One. year it gave a thumping big majority for Seth Low, Republican for mayor, because it liked his style, and the next year it gave Grover Cleveland a majority, not alone in every ward but absolutely in every one of the 500 election districts. Folger did not carry a single polling place. Brooklyn this year is red hot again for Cleveland. Foul Play Suspected. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Fargo, D. T., Aug. 12.— The body of the boy drowned in the river Sunday evening was found to-night three miles north. In the case of Frank S.

Sims has been arrested, but it is thought will be dis charged upon examination. The Democrats of tho Seventh Illinois nominated J. S. Eckles for congress.

Generally very little, as prond men, as a rule, are too conceited to patronize a clothing store, but pay exorbitant prices for "made-to order goods," when if they were less blind to their own interest they would do as the largest portion of the best-dressed men in St. Paul are doing, viz., patronize ••THE BOSTON." Our "Red Figure Sale" is, as usual, a success, onr many bargains attracting hosts of customers. It looks now as though we should not have to pack away a summer suit. This is just what we want, and is the sole reason for our "Red Figure Sale," to clear out our summer stock, if low prices will do it. BOSTON "ONE-PRICE" CLOTHING HOUSE, Cor.
