CHICAGO.
[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
Chicago, May 28.— The markets were
generally strong to-day. Wheat, oats and
provisions were quite buoyant. At the
openiag an easy feeling prevailed in
wheat. The receipts were a little larger,
aggregating 81 cars against 41 cars Satur
day. The Eaglish markets were no doubt
thinking they had acted prematurely in
buying. Under these influences prices
declined during the first hour, but rallied
again sharply afterward, owing to specu
lative influence;. The morning papers
had somewhat more favorable crop advices
than usual and ther6 was an increased
pressure to sell. Muny of the outside
longs vfho bought on the recent upturn be
ing di.-porul to unload. Souio who are re
sponsible for the ?purt last week again took
a hand in the trading and began buying
freely, Liudbioin beiug particularly prom
inent, takin d, a million bushels
for eastern parties. Others of the wealthy
lone* were liberal buyers and
tbe shorts took alarm. The competition
thus brought about at once had effect, and
prices were steadily advanced. Late in
the Jay the bears gained a trifle more con
iidence, and increased their offerings, but
did not succeed in making much impres
sion on values. The bulls were materially
aided by a sharp advance and considerable
excitement in the St. Louis market. A
good many ordera were received from
them, and there was liberal buying by
local dealers on that account.
During the session of the board of
trade there was a fuir degree of activity in
wheat and an average aggregate business.
Prices were unsettled, opening weak and
;^><t \.c lower, then closing stronger,
quickly declined, having no special sup
port, ££@%r more. But later there was
much excitement, some heavy operators
buying largely and the shorts becoming
nervous and uneasy, and covering quite
generally. This caused a sharp upturn.
July improved 2j£o from the
lowest point of ths session, August 2}^c
and Sept l}£o higher than it closed Satur
day, July about ljoc higher, August I 5 t .'c
higher. Sept. ljo'c higher and year lc
higher. The bulk of the advance took
place near the close. On the call the trad
ing was again active. T^he offerings were
fair but the demand was fully equal.
Pric&s ruled stendy at : ,jC decline. Over
two million bnsbels changed hands in half
an hour, a hall of the stuff being for July
delivery.
Flour was quiet at former quotations,
shippers bought a few lots for export but
the demand was mainly on local acseunt,
and the trade was small. Tha feeling was
firm, stocks continued very light. There,
is little prospect of improvement right
away with the rapid changes in wheat and
the unsettled condition of the trade having
its influence in keep
ing buyers out of flour,
particularly for any long holding, or in
way of speculation. The outlook for
manuf aotur ers during the summer months
is not good.
There was a fair speculative and quite
good shipping demand for oorn to-day.
At the opening, influenced by the weakness
in wheat, warm wet weather and larger
receipts, prices were lower than on Satur
day. But later the pressure to sell became
less, and with free covering by shorts the
feeling became stronger and advanced
>£<aic per bushel above inside figures,
closing on the board, but sold %@U C bet '
ter than they ended last week. On the
call there were quite free offerings, but the
sales were only moderate, some 600,000
bushels, mainly of July. The receipts
were quite large, equalling CO2 cars, 406
of which were deliverable on contract.
The lake charters were for 276,000 bushels.
The speculative market for oats was
very active and there was a very decided
improvement in price?. The main interest
in the market was centered iii May, June
SILKS
and July deliveries. The liberal decline
of last week brought out free buying
orderß from the shorts. While the demand
was thus improved, the desire to sell was
limited, a competition between buyers en
sued, and prices advanced 1@1i.40 over
the closing quotations of Saturday. Cash
oats were not much improved. The ar
rivals continue liberal and the market was
well supplied with car lots. In store oats
were slightly improved, but consignments
on track if anything a shade easier. On
the board the near futures
were active, at the opening prices
were about }jc lower. This was followed
by a liberal advance. May and June sold
l}£e over the inside price, and l^c over
Saturday's closing. July sold % G over
Saturday's closing and advanced l*-gc over
the inside early price. Deferred futures
H@H° higher. On call, July broke down
%c and the other deliveries sold off %c.
The decline brought about liberal trading
in the July future.
Rye was in fair speculative demand and
steady at Saturday's prices early, to }.»«f.
%c better in the afternoon. There were
some changes made of June contracts to
July at 2£/;2J<jC premium.
Barley was dull as ever. Only a few
I cars were in, still the demand would not
take over a third of the offerings. Prices
were easy and promised further weakness.
Considerable interest was manifested in
the market for hog products and trading
in the aggregate was quite active. An
unsettled feeling prevailed, however, and
prices fluctuated considerably within
quite a wide range. At the opening the
market was weak and slightly reduced
prices were accepted, but later in the day
the demand was more urgent and prices
rallied to the outside range. Kipping de
mand continues light;. Foroign advices
still favor buyers, and prices for bacon
were reduced Cd. Eastern markets were
without material change. The receipts of
produce were fair, and shipments quite
liberal. Tha demand for mess pork was
fairly active, but prices were somewhat
irregular. Early sales were made at -}4,(it,
5c decline, but later in the day prices were
gradually advanced 15 (ft 20c, and closed
comparatively steady at outside prices.
Cash quiet and steady.
The offerings of lard were rather free
early and prices declared 2}4fescper 100
lbs. Later, however, the demand was
more active and prices suddenly advanced
15 (a 20c. Toward the close prices receded
5@ 7 }:> c and closed steady. Prices were
maintained during the afternoon. The
firmness received no aid from the hog
market, which was dull and weak even at
s@loc concessions. The arrivals for the
day were 10,000 animals and the quality
of the receipts was not so good as has been
usual lately.
There will bo no session of board of
trade or call board on Wednesday, Decora
tion day.

New Yobk, May 28. — There was a fair
amount of business at tli9 opening this
morning^^and considerable strength s J
several stocks. Reports of the foolish cut
ting of passenger rates between the Rock
Island and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
caused a weakness later, and before noon
prices declined throughout the list, the
market becoming exceedingly dull. The
fear that the war in rates might extend to
other east and west lines unsettled North
western and St. Paul. Delaware & Lacka
wanna was about the most act: ye property
and did not yield much until the last.
Manitoba lost the advance of Saturday and
sold from 121} £to 119. During the after
noon the market became perfectly stag
nant. In the last half hour the lowest
prices for the day were made in many in
stances. The sharp advance in the grain
market assisted the depression in stocks.
An adjusting of the difficulties of the lines
now at loggerheads would probably be fol
lowed by sharp rallies, as the short interest
has been increased to-day.

GREAT BKITAIN.
Dublin, May 28. — Michael Fagan, con
victed of the murder of Burke, was hanged
in Kilmainham jail this morning. The
weather was overcast. Fagan, Bince re
ceiving his sentence, has been very attentive
to the instructions of the priests who visited
him. In an interview recently with rela
tives, he deolared he had not hurt a hair of
Burkes head. His mother is confident of
his innocence, and her son wrote the
queen repeating this declaration, but the
letter was not answered. Canon Kennedy
attended the condemned man this morning.
The black flag announcing that the execu
tion had taken place, was hoisted over tho
jail at 8 o'clock. A strong force of police
and military was present. Everything
went off quietly. A small crowd of per
sons were collected outside tho prison, . a

was pale but appeared resigned to his fate.
Death was instantaneous.

adjournment on the question of the seiz
ure of his paper. The requisite forty
members did not rise and the house di
vided as to whether he be heard or not, the
vote resulting in 137 for and 135 against.
Harrigan denied all knowledge of the
poster inviting the people to join the in
vincibles. He characterized the action of
the government as unusually harsh, and
without precedent. He said that the post
er was infamous, and he was convinced
that nobody in his office would venture to
issue such a notice in his absence. He be

pose of injuring him.

Washington, May 28. — There was an ex
traordinary occurrence at the treasury
Saturday, the facts in regard to which have
been suppressed. One of the paying tell
ers overpaid a bank messenger $3,600.
The bank messenger did not report it to
the bank, but secreted the money in a
room in the bank, and the secret service
chief subsequently recovered the money
and returned it to the treasury. No steps
have been taken to proceed against the
boy. It happened in this way : The pay
ing teller, in adjusting a deposit of a
bond, misread a statement which was bad
ly blotted and illegible and paid to the
messenger $3,600 in excess of the amount
due. The discrepancy was not discovered
until the cash account was balanced at the
close of business Lours. Inquiry at the
bank by telephone showed that the proper
balance had been received there. The
chief of the secret service was instantly
called. Ha proceeded to the bank and
summoned the messenger, a boy of six
teen. The chief charged him with having
received the money. The boy admitted it,
saying that he intended to return it. He
said it was in the very room where the chief
was conducting his investigation. The
boy produced it. it was a small package,
three $1,000 bills, one $500 bill and one
$100 bill. The money was returned to the
new treasurer, who, of course, was anxious
.it the loss. The carelessness of the paying
teller cannot be explained.
jeffebson's gbanddatjghteb.
The granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson,
Mrs. Septima R. Meikleham. is now living
in this city, supported by the salary of a
daughter who is a clerk in the patent
office. Since Mrs. Meikleham has ap
peared in the papers she has been in re
ceipt of numerous letters from persons
who request autographs of Thomas Jeffer
son. One of the letters was from a young
lady in California, who, being an invalid,
collects amtographs as a pastime. As a
matter of fact Mrs. Meikleham has only
one autograph letter of Jefferson's. This
is mainly about private family affairs. She
was too young to write letters to her grand
father, besides which her mother accom
panied him whereever he went, and she
was generally taken along. She was not
present at the distribution of Jefferson's
papers. She possesses, however, many in
teresting relics of Monticello. Among
them are a few sketches of the homestead
made by a lady who was visiting them dur
ing Mrs. Meikleham's childhood. Another j
is a frame which contained a small wax |
bust of Jefferson, and another, perhaps j
the most valuable of all, is an old print or '
engraving. Jefferson's side-face and bust /
a:-e presented, his white hair fastened in a
queue. Above his head, which is encircled j
in clouds, is a representation of Minerva, !
the goddess of wisdom, and beneath is
Fame blowing a trumpet. A scroll beneath i
the picture bears the words: "Thomas
Jefferson, the pride of America. Retired !
March 4, 1809."
OHIO POLITICS.
Ohio politics are just now attracting a
good deal of attention here. Col. Under
wood, the editor of the Cincinnati News
and Journal, was here to-night, on his
way to New York. He said Judge Hoadley,
of Cinoinniti, woald beyond a doubt be
the Democratic candidate for governor.
"We shall carry Hamilton county by a tre
meniuous majority"' he said, ''and will
carry the state by a majority that will
surprise the Republicans. The German
vote is still oars, and will be ours in 1884.
I haven't a doubt the Democrats will carry
the country in 1884."
Ex-Congressman Butterworth, who is
here, and who is regarded as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for gover
nor, says that the Republicans will carry
the state by 20,000 majority.
THE VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.
The election returns from Virginia are
watched with great interest. There are a
great many counties yet to hear from.
But there seems to be no question that
Mahone has suffered a partial defeat. He
looked for a pronounced victory, and his
failure to accomplish what he expected
will probably have a damaging effect upon
his leadership and his party. The most
emarkable fact is that Mahone has lost
SILKS.
in counties where he expected to gain.
This is the first election since the repeal
of the head tax law and Mahone very
naturally argued that the repeal of that
law would help the Readjuster party. In
the counties where there are large black
majorities the Readjuster vote has fallen
off, and there has been a marked increase
in the opposition vote. The Democrats
and straight-out Republicans appear to
have worked harmoniously together to good
effect, and the summing up of the vote
shows that the Readjusters have suffered
large losses. It is almost certain that Ma
hone will not be able to carry the state
next fall, when members of the legislature
are to be elected. There is another thing
to be considered, it is that the administra
tion is not so friendly to Mahone as it was.
Mahone will not have the absolute con
trol of the federal patronage of the state
that he has heretofore had. It is thought
by maty here that the downfall of Ma
honism may date from last Thursday's
elections.

TEE VIBGINIA POSTMASTEBS.
Ex-Representative Dezendorf, of Vir

Gresham this afternoon. He was informed
by the postmaster general that if he de

proper conduct on the part of the post
masters in Virginia, he should do it direct
ly, and not through the newspapers, and if
he had any charges to make against the
postmaster at Norfolk or elsewhere, and
would formulate them them the depart
ment would take the charges uader con
sideration, and hear anything he or any
other citizen of Virginia might say on the
snbjeot. The postmaster general also in
formed Dezendorf that the case of the
postmaster at Norfolk, against whom cer
tain charges had deen published, was
already in the hands of the proper officers
of the department, who have been in
structed to examine the case. Dezendorf
expressed himself as entirely satisfied with
the result of the interview and said that he
would shortly present charges for the con
sideration of the department.
