[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
Chicago, May 29. — Provisions were the
only strong market to-day. There has
been pome uneasiness lately among the
numerous shorts in pork and lard, and
many have been covering. The firmness
has been almost entirely due to speculative
influences. Wheat ends the day a cent
and a half below yesterday. There were
free sellers on local account and on out
side orders, some of the prominent lougs
being among those unloading. Excepting
the warm and clearing weather, much eth
er than which cannot be expected now,
there was nothing in outside influences to
change values either way, and the decline
was due entirejy to local manipulation.
On the board trading in wheat was fair
ly active and the feeling unsettled. The
liberal and sharp advance of yesterday
brought in many selling orders and the
support noticeable then was in part with
drawn. The market was nervous at the
opening, and prices in the first rush to re
alize were anywhere from }4&%0 lower
than the closing figures on the call board
yesterday afternoon, soon declined }$%
■}<c additional, then became stronger and
rallied ££@M°i but again became weak
under largely increased offerings and fell
off sharply Ict l^c, rallied a trifle and fin
ally closed 1 5 ;jC lower for July, l^c lower
for August, and 1 V{c lower for September
t'.an the closing on the board yesterday.
In the afternoon prices ruled rather steady.
The call sales were a million bushels. The
statement posted of grain in store here
shows a decrease of 245,785 bushels of
wheat during the past week, but the stock
is still 3,200,000 bushels greater than a year
ago.
There is no change to note in the flour
trade. It remains pretty much as it has
continued since the first of the month.
During last week the receipts were 59,130
barrels. A moderate demand ha 3 existed,
exporters, as well as local jobbers, inquiring
and keeping posted, but for some reasons
their inquiries in most cases amounted to
nothing. The principal reason, no doubt, ;
has been that exporters found holders ask
ing higher prices than they could pay, and
as the latter, under the present condition
of the wheat market here, have not been
disposed to meet the views of foreign buy
ers, trade has been restricted. Foreign re
parts have not given any encouragement
to shippers, the markets abroad being
quota I dull ?.u'i c:i^y under continued free
supplies of American flour. The few
sales made to exportflr3 generally com
prised low grades, these being mainly
sought for at prices ranging anywhere
from, say about *;5.75 down to $2.2,">. The
supply of these grades has been kept some
what reduced, and the offerings of really
desirable grades have been light. Occa
sionally a car load or two of either soring
or winter wheat flour of the higher grades
was taken for shipment, but only in ex
ceptional cases, and then merely to fill
some special order. Local jobbers have
made a few purchases, but, as a rule, they
have not shown the least anxiety about
purchasing, evidently carrying good stocks
and not feeling inclined to increase them
just now.
There was quite a general disposition to
sell corn to-day. The receipts were un
usually heavy again, being 746 car loads,
including seventy-six of high mixed, and
4G3 of No. 2. European markets were also
easier. Vessels were engaged to carry
344,000 bushels. The decrease in the
amount in elevators here during last week
was 1,084,000 bushels. On the board,
trading was quite active on shipping and
speculative account. The feeling was
weaker and prices ruled lower, influenced
by warmer weather and the very liberal
receipts. To-morrow being a holiday, lib-
eral offerings were also anticipated for
Thursday, and under offerings of cash corn,
gave shippers a better opportunity to pur
chase, and trading for immediate delivery
was more active at shaded prices as com
pared with yesterdays pricesjdeclined J^ g
Joe below the closing figures on 'change,
and closed within about }^c of inside
prices. No, 2 was in good demand and
sold at 55} 2<a 55;\jc for receipts dated May
26 and since, these being preferred to
regular as they carry into June without
extra storage, and closed at about 55% c.
On the call there was a steadier tone but
not much change in values. A half mil
lion bushels changed hands.
The oats market was devoid of any ex
citement or important demonstration and
a quiet easy feeling prevailed. The'jfilling
of many outstanding contracts yesterday
checked the demand to-day. Offerings
also small. Prices for yesterday remained
within yesterday's range, but were %@%c
lower ascompared with yesterday's closing
figures. Cash oats in store very quiet, No.
2 were about %c easier. No. 2 white, how
ever, were wanted for shipment and were
better, these 6old at
±2% <S> 43c. While rejected also
better. Sample lots mixed oats were dull
and slow, but for all grades of white there
was an active shipping demand and the
market favored sellers. The feeling was
steadier in the closing hours.
Rye was firmer. Prices were better all
TOund, but ca?h and August showed the
most improvement. There was a good
speculative demand. Shipping orders were
reported light. No. 2 cash was lo higher.
Sample lots slow, some of the usual buy
ers were out of the market. Future de
liveries were firmer. Speculative demand
very fair and offerings small. May about
lc better, but no trading. June was }<£c
better, seller July not much changed.
Transfers were made from June to July at
2@2j-£c premium for July delivery. Au
gubt ranged 2@2^o higher. These higher
prices were shaded Bomewhat during the
afternoon.
Barley was unchanged, with nothing
doing.
A quiet aud easy feeling prevailed in the
market for hog products early in the day,
and slightly reduced prices were accepted
on all the leading articles. Later, however,
the demand was more urgent and the of
ferings fair. Prices ruled firmer and
were advanced materially on all the prin
cipal descriptions, and the market closed
with considerable steadiness. Shipping
demand moderate and orders chiefly for
small quantities. Foreign advices show
no material change and the eastern mar
kets were comparatively steady. The re
ceipts of product were fair and shipments
quite liberal.
The demand for mess pork was fairly
active and the offerings few. Prices ruled
5@ 10c lower early in the day but rallied
again 15"/ 20c and closed comparatively
steady, .tuiy was in active demand and
sold r&tber freely.
□ The olVciings of lard were free and the
demand quite active. Prices de
clined 2}£@so per 100 pounds
early, but rallied again
s@loc and closed steady. Both pork and
lard commanded 23^@3c better figures
after theclcse of board trading; 1,700 hoge
were received and brought yesterday's
prices.
Judge Gardner was engaged this fore
noon in hearing argument of counsel on
the demurer to the bill of A. C. Hesing,
against the board of trade,
the city, John It. Bensley
Philip D. Armour and Sidney A. Kent, to
prevent the vacation of La Salle street, for
the erection of the new board of trade
building. The prayer of the bill is that
the court would decree the ordinance of the
city on the subject and the contracts of the
property owners in the neighborhood for
this purpose, null and void, and compel
the city authorities to remove the build
ings and re-open the street. The bill was
demurred to on the ground that it did not
claim that Hesing was in any way injured
by the closing of the street. The court
after a long argument by counsel for Hesing
decided without hearing from the other
side to sustain the demurrer. The com
plainant asked and was granted ten days
within which to amend his bill.
Truman Handy is understood to be
settling with his creditor?, and may again
be a figure in board trading.
There will be no session of either board
to-morrow.

Nbw Yobk, May 29.— The day in Wall
street has been an exceedingly dnll one.
Prices as a general thing, were a trifle low
er than on yesterday without the slight at
tempt from any quarter to batter the situ
ation. All seem inclined to await the set
tlement of the rate catting in tha west.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy was
more affected than the Rock Island this
morning, selling at sl.22 and this in face of
a 2 per cent, dividend now at hand. For
a reliable 8 per cent, paying property, the
price seems reasonable. Northwesetern
sold at $1.28?4. Next week the annual
meeting takes place, when the usual 3 l £
per cent, for the past six months £ will be
declareda nd the question of cutting the
melon will again bs in order. St. Paul
went below $1.01 at one time and fluctu
ated between $1.01 and $1.01 If the rest of
the day . To-morrow the exchange will be
closed. Union Pacific earnings for April
and twenty-six days in May
are reported as showing a
decrease of $327,000. Illinois Central for
the third week of May increased $17,000.
Rock Island advaEced to 122}^ in the
final dealings and San Francisco preferred
sold as high as sG)<j, quite an improve
ment on yesterday.
The trouble in the lowa trunk line pool
and the advance in sterling exchange were
also disturbing elemente. If the St. Paul
company can be prevailed upon to
enter the pool, the matter will then be
adjusted.
W. L. Scott says that Vanderbilt will
probably attend the annual meeting of the
Chicago &, Northwestern company. The
company will issue $10,000,000 of 5 per
cent, bonds at par to Mr. Yanderbilt, and
will put the $7,500,000 of St. Paul & Oma^
ha stock in the treasury. Some of the
Omaha preferred cost 111 and the com
mon SG. The stock will remain in the
treasury until the property becomes
dividend paying, which it is
not at present, and according to
Mr. Scott never wa?. After this it wili be
divided among the Northwestern share
holders.
Union Pacific brightened up in conse
quecc3 of a rumor that its trouble with
Denver had been settled, but later in the
day it was explained that the agreement
related to the use of a few miles of track,
and not to the chief cause of the difficulty
between the two roads. A story that eeem
ed to have some basis of truth was to the
effect that the Standard Oil folks, who were
upholding St. Paul stock, had decided to
stand from under and let her drop. She
went down yesterday with great rapidity
for aome cause or other, and late in the af
ternoon Mr. Tr avers bought and put on
25,000 shares from Mr. Keene at 95, good
for sixty days.
The day wore on without any material
change from the general dullness and
weakness of the market. Brokers are very
much discouraged, and the prospect for a
revival of speculation does, indeed, seem
poor.

Arthur Wishes to Control .the Kentucky
Delegation In the Next National Conren
t ion— Grenhiiui Going Back on Mahone—
The Matter's Influence Wanting— The
Hill Investigation, etc.
[Special Correspondence of the Globe. J
Washington, May 29. — The smooth and
easy manner in which President Arthur has
administered the executive office, but for
one single incident, gives denial to the
rumor? often repeated, that he has hopes
of the Republican nomination a year
hence. This one single exception is the
appointment of Walter Evans, of Ken
tucky, to be commissioner of internal rev
enue. Evans, so far as is known, while a
man of excellent character, is not calcula
ted to bring to the administration any force
it does not now possess. For this reason
there is reasonable cause to suppose that
in his selection the president may have
had futurity in his mind, and the ability of
Mr. Evans to control the Kentucky delega
tion which will be sent to the next national
Republican convention. The ability of
Evans to bunch this vote for any candidate
he might select seems natural. Mr. Evans
was president of the recent Republican
convention in Kentucky, and opened the
exercises with ''Nearer my God to Thee."
One who can thus map out and execute
such an heroic overture can, no doubt,
on the rotten borough system, deliver
the Kentucky vote to President Arthur in a
national convention, or to a candidate who
may be distinctly an administration man.
There are reasons, however, for believing
that in fact Arthur is tired of the presiden
tial office. His administration, based as it
is upon an honest desire to perpetuate the
Republican party rather than to advance
its destruction, has compelled him to reor
ganize factions, and to deal out the pat
ronage rather even handed. This has
alieniated from him some of his best
friends, and the only conscious ■ reward he
can have may be the popular verdict that
he has dons well. This, it seems ,is all he
expect?, and his desire is not to continue
in an office where the prolongation of such
a policy will only drive away from him
the ultra stalwarts, the few friends he has.
JVIAHONE AND GBESnAM.
It is growing more apparent that Ma
hone and his policy have encountered an
obstacle in the cabinet that will put an
end to the peculiar political habits of that
peculiar person. Postmaster General
Gresham signalized his first
week in office by removing
from his comfortable position in the poet
office department one of Mahone's men
who had been slipped in as an lowa or
Idaho man, and a few days later refused to
recognize the doughty Chalmers in kis at
tempted dictation regarding Mississippi
liTairs. A very significant meeting was
leld between Postmaster Ganeral Gresham
md Dezondorf, and some promises were
illeged to have been made by tho former
which havo the true ring of civil service
eforui ie thero, and show that if he has
my sympathy with Mahone's methods
Gresham is not allowing the fact to come
to ihe surface. The meeting was a long
one, and included a half hour at lunch, in
which the state of affairs in Virginia was
talked over quite thoroughly. Dezcndorf
told the postmaster general the history of
Ivlahone's use and abuse of the postoffice
system in tho late campaign, and after
summing up the situation county by
county, showed how Mahone was steadily
losing ground and making the Republican
party odious by its prostitution in the old
Dominion to his personal ends. The post
master general listened carefully and made
inquiries as to details, and ended the con
ference by assuring Dezendorf that the
matter should be thoroughly investigated
and the abuses corrected, not alone in
Virginia, but elsewhere. How well this
promise will be carried out remains to be
seen, but it really looks as though Gresham
had taken upon himself the attempt to
heal the party differences, not alone in New
York, but wherever the opportunity is
offered.
Washington, May 29. — No news from
General Crook at the war department.
Officials are disposed to accept no news as
good news.
The supreme court of the district has
issued a rule upon the secretary of the in
terior to show cause why a mandamus
should not issue compelling him to awrrd
a patent to Samuel H. Ruggle?, of Circle
ville, 0., for 150 acres of land in the Vir
ginia ncilitary district of Ohio.
Ex-Congressman Murch is making good
progress in the preparation
of the case to be presented before
the investigating committee appointed to
examine charges against the office of bu|
pervising architect of the treasury, and
Architect Hill now thinks best to secure
council to represent him. Jno. L. Thom
as, ox ceilector of Baltimore, will probably
be selected.
RAILROAD GBANT DECISION.
The secretary of the interior decided a
question which came np, on the applica
tion of the Central Pacific Railroad com
pany for patents to certain lands lying
opposite to the constructed and accepted
part of the road. As the Central Pacific j
company has not completed its entire line
within the time prescribed by the granting
act, the question thus presented to the
secretary is similar to that decided by the
United States supreme court in the case of
Schulenberg vs . Har rim an. in which the
court held that the provisions for the
completion of the road within a certain
time was a condition subsequent,
that although the time for
building the road had expired
the grant remained unimpaired, and the
land did not and could not revert without
the intervention of the legislature or ju
dicial action, and without such aotion no
effect whatever could be given to the for
feiture clause. The secretary says in
view of this decision, which was made
more than eight years ago, and has been
often affirmed, and the further fact that
although congress has been repeatedly
called to affect a decision and no action
being taken by that body, it must be pre
sumed that congress intends the land
grant companies shall have the benefit of
the decision, and that at all events his ac
; tion as an executive officer, must bo con
j trolled by the decision of tho supreme
j court, which has declared that
! under such circumstance?, a grant must
ST. Pi VL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 30, 1883.
be treated as forfeit. That he is without
disoretion or power in the matter, and
there is no course left for the land depart
ment except to issue patents for lands
laying opposite the completed portion of
the road. This decision sustains the re
cent appeal of the Central Pacific road
from the refusal of the commissioner gen
eral of the land office to proceed with
patenting lands to the Central Pacific
company as successor to the California <fc
Oregon Railroad company of California.
IMPROVEMENT IN HAIL SEBVICE.
The convention of the superintendents
of the railway mail service, adjourned to
meet at the call of the superintendent.
Their labors mainly consisted in the regu
lations governing railway service, with a
view of improving the service. A resolu
lution was passed recommending that mail
for delivery in large cities be distributed
on cars ready for carriers, as now done for
New York and Chicago, when it can be
dene without delaying more important
distribution. It is also recommended that
railroad companies be requested to supply
fire extinguishers on all postal cars.
RESULT MOT KNOWN.
Telegraphic instructions have been sent
by the state department to the American
consul at Ceinfuegos relative to the seiz
ure of the American brigantine Nettie by
the authorities of that place for alleged
fraud. The department has not been
informed of the result of the investigation
which is ordered in the case.
MORE NUTS FOE HILL TO CRACK.
George H. Parker, Herman Keifer and
a number of other citizens f ron? Detroit,
Mich., have written a letter to Secretary
Folger, complaining of the manner in
which Supervising Architect Hill disoharg
ed his duty as head commission, to which
the selection of a site for the public build
ing in that city was entrusted. Speoific
charges are mad? in the letter as follow*:
We accuse Architect Hill: First, of coming
to determine a question so momentous to
this large and growing city without adequte
notice. Second, of oetter |want of business
method in the inaugurating and conduct
«f the whole proceeding. Third. Of un
due and scandalous haste in the disposi
tion of a matter involving the expenditure
of several hundred thousands of dollars,
and the honor of the United States gov
ernment for fair and square dealing with
its own citizens, who were not given a fair
opportunity to be heard. Fourth. Of
violating a pledge to visit and personally
examine and inspect the different locali
ities, and Fifth. Pre- judgment, whether
corrupt or not, amounting to a foregone
conclusion, and making the proceedings of
the commission a dignified farce."
Arrangements for the funeral ceremon
ies which will accompany the reinterment
of the body of John Howard Payne on the
9th of June have been completed. The
remains will be taken from the present
temporary resting place to the art gallery
to be escorted from there to the cemetery
by a funeral procession contesting of the
malitia, the president, members of the
cabinet and diplomatic corps, judges of
the United States courts, senators and
representatives, and the relatives of Payne.
At the cemetery there will be memorial
services, consisting of a poem by Robt. S.
Chiltoc, Jin oration by Leigh Robinson,
selections of vocal and instrumental music,
and religious exercises conducted by
Bishop Pi: o myjand Rev. Dr. Leonard, of
St. Johns, i'he vocul music by the Phil

in singing the last verse of thut socg.
Two Presidential Candidate! Define Their
Position on this Important Question.
New York, May 29.— The World pub
lishes letters written to Editor Pulitzer by
Senators Bayard and McDonald respecting
the tariff question. The former.'says any
thing like finesse or appearance of finesse
or trick in dealing with such an issue as
the tariff for revenue or tariff for the pro
tection of certain classes of our citizens
will greatly weaken the party resorting to
it. I know of no position more impreg
nable and upon which it is more import
ant for the Democratic party to form its
line than that public property cannot be
taken for private use under any
pretext. The only ground upon
which any indivinual san be deprived of
his property is to benefit the community,
and whenever such exigencies arise he
must first be justly compensated. The
form of exaction is immaterial, as
much so as place tax collected in the
interior or at a man's residence or at a
seaport of entry and under the tariff law,
an excise or direct tax law. It is all the
I same and to be justified must be in the
name and for the use of the government
of the Utii fed States. This principle of
one laid ao - *n rate of taxation by public
exigencies and such a spectacle as was wit
nessed at the last session of congress of a
handful of men representing private inter
ests and controlling and moulding the
public laws of taxation to suit those inter
ests will never again be tolorated by hon
est public sentiment.
Senator McDonald says the tariff issue is
connected with the general subject of
revenue reform, and will necessarily be an
important questiop in all future political
contests until it is* settled upon the doc
trines of the constitution and principles of
sound political economy. We may be
{ sometime reaching a resolution of the
i question, but until the public mind be
comes enlightened it will not be satisfied
with any tariff that has not for its govern
ment these principles, nor with the details
of any tariff law in which the duties laid
upon foreign merchandise shall be above
a revenue point,
Chicago, May 29. — Senator D. M. Sabin,

proper consideration of the subject of
their thorough education. The sentiment
was loudly applauded and the negro visitors
in attendance upon the banquet heartily
joined in the applause, To-night at the
Vanderbilt university, Hon. Henry Watter
son delivered th 6 address before the liter-
ary societies of the university, taking for
his subject' 'The homicidal side of south
ern life." His conclusion was that the
homicidal propensity was a false but
waning standard of manly courage and
honor. The remedy was in the hands of
the churchmen, schoolmen and the press.
The audience was large and intellectual.

THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL.
Washington, May 29. — 'derrick contin
ued his address in the star route case to
day. He comments severely upon Brady's
testimony, and declared Brady had admit
ted the increases were made to benefit con-
tractors. Chandler here interrapted to say
that the prosecution had claimed a losing
contract could not be made to pay by ex
pedition, and Merrick replied, certainly it
can be made to pay, but how? Give me a
set of villainous contractors and I can con
vert a losing contract into a mountain of
profit by perjury. It is easy enough. He
wished the jury to remember the subcon
tractors were required to pay every fine
and penalty. When he came to the Ojo
Caliente route he would show how poor
Joseph had been ruined by these fines and
deductions, how Dorsey had pocketed re
missions amonnting to §1,400 and only
paid it to Joseph when he came here as a
witness on the last trial .
Merrick asked if any one living in
Washington city, where rings flourished
and fattened, could believe in the honesty
of purpose of the defendants. Brady had
said nothing of his sliding scale when be
fore the congressional investigation com
mittee. He had trumped up that excuse,
and he (Merrick) wondered at his lack of
wisdom. Miner and Dorsey had meaaor
ies never equaled, and they did not re
member. Their compeers had not ap
peared in a court of justice, except they
were the lying Italians who swore against
Queen Caroline. Dorsey had picked up
Rerdell, and had made him what he was.
His work had been skilfully done under
Dorsey. He' (Merrick) had not offered
him as an angel, without stain, he had
offered him as Dorsey's conspirator, plead
ing guilty and waiting for sentence. Whilst
explaining the character of one cf the affi
davits, the foreman interrupted Merrick to
ask, "Do you mean to 6ay they cheated
themselves to begin with, in order to get
more in the end?" "They did not cheat
themselves," said Merrick, "they lied. The
affidavit was a flat lie, and Brady ought to
have known it, if he gave it the examina
tion that under the law he was required to
do. He said, "Just presume the propor
tion and crack away, boys. Give me some
petitions to keep tho record strength,
so I will be ready if any of these investi
gating committees come nosing around,
and crack away, I'll be the pry to the door
of the treasury." Court adjourned till
Thursday in accordance with the request of
Merrick, who was suffering from nervous
prostration, compelling the constant atten
dance in court of his physician.
The Pope's Circular.
Chicago, May 29. — The movement
which was organized to hold a mass meet
ing of Irish Catholics of this oit v to pro
test against the pope's bull relative to the
participation of bishops and clergy in the
Parnell testimonial fnnd is causing some
stir among Irish-American citizens here.
There exist?, apparently, a difference of
opinion as to the wisdom of such a course,
the more conservative urging that action
be delayed until the full text of the papal
note is known. Others of the leaders in
sist on immediate action and a meeting is
to be held Tuesday next to decide whether
a mass meeting will be called. Priests in
terviewed, join in urging that no layman
or prelate should engage in any crusade
against the head of the church.
Logan Denies.
Chicago, May 29. — Senator Logan, in a
two column letter published in the Tribune
this morning, reiterates in detail his denial
that he located any lands on the Zuni In
dian reservation, and asserts that the lands
located by his son-in-law, Major Wicker,
likewise are not within the reservation of
these Indians. The senator asserts that
NO. 150
certain published accounts to the effect
that he had infringed the rights of these
ndians, were given currency by persons
politically unfriendly to him.
BISHOP WHIPPLE.
Interviewed by a Chicago Reporter He
Telia What He Thinks About Minnesota
and Her People,
[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
Chicago, May 29.— The Rt. Rev. H. B;
Whipple, Episcopal bishop of Minnesota*
with Mrs. Whipple, was at the Grand Pa
cific yesterday, and left on the evening
train for home. To a reporter, Bishop
Whipple said that the ohurch was growing
in Minnesota as rapidly as could be ex
pected, considering the immense foreign
population which are coming into the
state. Since he had been in that
diocese, a period of twenty-four
years, over 100 churches had been
established. There were seven Indian
clergymen in orders and 1,500 civilized in
dians, about equally divided between the
Roman catholic and Episcopal churches.
The confirmations this year were more nu
merous than ever before. At Faribault he
had $250,000 worth of school buildings,
with about 250 scholars of both sexes. The
bishop further said that the foreign emi
grants, who were pouring into the state
were an excellent class of people, and as
similated very quickly with the American
portion of the population. No better or
more moral class of citizens could be found
anywhere. The Roman Catholic church in
Minnesota had taken a decided stand in
favor of temperance, mainly through the
efforts of Bishop Ireland, for which he de
served great credit; and that its efforts had
been successful was due chiefly to the fact
that the Irish, who formed the bulk of the
communicants, were among the
most thrifty and respectable
citizens of the state. Bishop
Whipple also said that he had jast been
making his annual visitation and had
traveled all over the state except in the
southwestern portion, and that everywhere
he found that the wheat crop was going to
be very heavy. He commended the public
spirit and liberality of the wealthy citi
zens of the state, instancing the success
that he had met with in establishing his
schoels, and also the fact that his church
had four hospitals and other denomina
tions were equally well provided for.
Ttie Iron Trade.
Cincinnati, May 29. — Workmen in the
rolling mills have agreed upon a scale of
prices of §6 per ton to be presented to the
manufacturers, and it was expected thi9
would be done to-day. It is now said it
will be offered to-morrow. The manufac
turers, however, are unanimous in saying
they will agree to no bill of piices not in
accordance with the agreement with the
men a year ago, which was to abide by the
scale agreed on at Pittsburg. They say
fnrther that if the men insist on demand
ing other terms, and thus violate their
agreement, they will make no new agree
ment with them .
