OTHER GRAIN MARKETS.
GRAIN GOSSlP—Gossip by private wire
to C. H. F. Smith & Co., St. Paul, mem
bers of the New York srtock exchange
and Chicago board of trade. The Illi
nois crop report says: "In the northern
division of the state 78 per cent of the
wheat is plowed up; condition of re
mainder, 29 per cent; central, 66 per cent
plowed up; condition or remainder. 4S per
cent; In southern division, 35 per cent
plowed up; condition of remainder, 70 per
cent." Prime says: "Very heavy raing
during the last twenty-lour hours in the
northern portion of corn and oats belt
has brought things for the time being
to a standstill. Oats were beginning to
need rain very badly. On the other
hand, just enough rain has fallen to put
a stop for a day or two to corn planting."
The state of Nebraska estimates Tnat
the original winter wheat area was 200,
--000 acres over last year. Of this less
than 50,000 acres remain, and possibly 25.
--000 acres will produce a fair crop. The
spring wheat area, 1,500,000 acres, is 300,-
OiO acres over last year's. Spring seed
ing is over and corn planting begun. With
favorable conditions the corn yield should
be 300,000,000 bu. Oats promise about last
year.

NEW YORK, May B.—Liquidation was
Quite general in the stock market today,
and material declines prevailed. There
was no news of any importance and dis
appointment at the bad showing of the
bank statement on Saturday seemed to
color speculative sentiment. Sterling: ex
change was about steady, and money de
cidedly easier. Such rallies as took pla'.;e
were feeble, and in each instance brought
out further sales, leaving the market at
the end weak at about the lowest for the
railways, although some of the special
ties in the late selling movement retained
part of the advantage derived from an
afternoon rally. The arbitrage brokers
pu: chased some 2,000 shares during the
forenoon weakness. The market con
tinued feverish practically all day. There
was forced liquidation of marginal ac
counts by commission houses. Some im
portant interests let go stocks on the
assumption that rather large responsi
bilities have been taken by certain under
writing syndicates.
'I he talk of the formation of a new
steel "trust," with a tremendous capital
ization, caused uneasiness in some quar
ters, resulting in declines of over three
points in Federal Steel shares, and ovei
two in American Steel and Wire. The

losing 8%; People's Gas, 314, and Atchisin
preferred, 1%. The tenor of the crop ad
vices was conflicting, but the Grangers
receded smartly, Burlington losing over
2 points, and St. Paul and Northwest
about half as much. Among the Coalers
Delaware & Hudson and Jersey Centra
were down over a point each. New York
Central suffered a loss of 2% in connec
tion with its unfavorable showing for
April compared with last year, although
this is partly explanable by the earlier
date at which navigation opened last
year. Other weak spots in the railways
were Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsylvania
Union P_acific, Cincinnati, Cleveland Chi

industrials. Amalgamated Copper sag

Stocks declined sharply on the influence.
It created by the bank statement of Sat

the market very vulnerable and with but
poor support. Their efforts and the de
pressing influence of the long sales forced
many stop-loss; orders Into execution and
the Industrials crumbled sharply caus
ing a good deal of alarm. Soon after no n
a rally came, and prices run up almcst
as rapidly as they had declined. We can
not find good and sufficient reason for the

EIGHTS OF VOLUNTEERS.
Got. Thomas, .of Colorado, May Test
Them In the Courts.
WASHINGTON, May B.—lt is possible,
war department officials say, that the
governor of Colorado may be able to
settle the question of tne right of the
United States to use the volunteers in
foreign service, in the courts, through the
medium of habeas corpus proceedings.
This might be done on the allegation that
the volunteers are held against their
wishes. AVar department officials say it
would be easy to ; prove by the orders
which have been issued that all the vol
unteers were perfectly free to ask for
and obtain their discharge when the
treaty of peace w^s signed. There is no
doubt, the authorities say, that the gov
ernor would lose, his case if brought on
this point, but regard habeas corpus pro
ceedings as the, only course open to him.
Adjt. Gen. Corbin did not care to dis
cuss the interview of Gen. Thomas, of
Colorado, today, further than to say that
already orders had been Issued for the
return of the volunteers in the Philip
pines, and tha,t they would come home
as fast as transportation could be pro
vided and In order of their departure for
the islands. Gen. Corbin says he has
written a letter to Gov. Thomas, which
explains the whole situation. This letter
will, rib doubt, be received by the gov
ernor today. The g«neral would not
make it public, but he ha<J no objections
to the governor doing so when received.
SWORD FOR FUNSTON.
Gallant Kanaan to Be Honored by
the People of His State.
TOPEKA, Kan., May S.—The Topeka
Capital has started a popular subscrip
tion to purchase a nword for Gen. Funs
ton. Every county, town and city in
the state is asked to contribute. The ap
peal for contribution says:
"The wonderful energy of the Twen
tieth's colonel In battle in the Philippine
campaign has spread the fame of Kansas
thi-oughout he world, and the press of
England, as well as our country, is ring-
Ing with his praises. Kansas is prepar
ing to give them such a reception on their
home going as will show how great Is
the popular appreciation of their gallant
ry. As a special testimonial to Gen. Funs
ton we believe, that thousands of loyal
Kansans .will be nlad of an opportnlty to
contribute to^Crds the purchase of a
sword commemorating the important part
he has playedttirihe campaign.''
It is the intention to have the sword
specially manuva&tared and ready to pre
sent to Gen. Funston on his return home.

Much Anxiety.
NEW YORK, May B.—The Jerome Park
strikers attempted today to coerce the
men who would not go out with them,
and for a time there seemed Imminent
danger of trouble. The police came up
and Foreman Timothy O'Connor stepped
up to Michael Zambaraso, a leader of the
strikers, arid told him to get away from
the place. Zambaraso retored by trying
to brain O'Connor with a shovel. The
Italian was arrested before he did any
damage. He was fined $5 in the police
court. The Italians were driven from the
surroundings of the reservoir about 4
o'clock. None of them were allowed to
remain anywhere near. They went to
Bedford Park, where there is an Italian
settlement and where some of them live.
Indignation meetings were held In sa
loons. A number of policemen In citizens'
clothing were ordered to go among the
Italians and if possible find out their
plans. The police are so -anxious that
Capt. Schmlttberger was ordered to re
main personally in charge of the reservoir
force during the entire night.

ATTACKS ON IRELAND
Resented l>y the Friends of th»
An-hbitiltoip in WiunhiiiKtoii.
WASHINGTON, May B.—The bitter at
tacks on Archbishop Ireland In France
because he is to deliver a panegyric on
"Joan of Arc" at the celebration at Or
leans have aroused considerable feeling
among his friends in this city, although
the utterances of Jean de Bonsefon in a
Paris newspaper, and criticisms of other
writers, are not regarded as reflecting in
any large degree the opinion entertained
by the French clergy or people. Some
surprise Is expressed that if there was
such opposition to Archbishop Ireland
and to his views and to his delivering this
address, it was not manifested at an
earlier moment.
It is known that long before Archbishop
Ireland went to Europe that he was se
lected to deliver the address at Orleans.
Some years ago he thrilled European
Catholics, particularly those French
Catholics, by a magnificent address de
livered In Paris. His utterances were
greeted with approval and he was re
garded as one of the foremost prii sta
in America by a majority of the French
clergy. Only one reason for the changa
of opinion has been given, the publication
of the book attacking the late Father
Hecker, founder of the order of Paul
ists. Since then views antagonistic to
those entertained by Archbishop Ireland
have been- freely expressed in France,
but his trip this year was expected to
re-establish his position.
The Baltimore Sun this morning has
an article discussing the French opposi
tion to Ireland, and explaining Ireland's
views. It is friendly in tone,and represents
the views of Catholics in Washington as
well as in Baltimore.
STILLWATER.
Walsh, the Convict Who Attempted
Suicide, Is Improving.
James Walsh, the convict who attempt
ed suicide on Sunday by throwing himself
from the upper gallery, is doing nicely
at the prison hospital and will recover.
Walsh told some of the officers that he
committed the deed because ho was tired
of life.
Rev. S. G. Smith's class in sociology at
the state university visited the prison
yesterday and spent part of the day in a
tour of the various departments of that
institution. Rev. Mr. Smith accompanied
them and made the trip as enjoyable as
possible.
The petit Jury convenes this morning,
and the first case to be tried in the dis
trict court will be that of J. S. O'Brien
vs. L. L. Manwarlng, as assignee of Mo-
Laughlin & Kilty.
In the probate court yesterday final set
tlement was made in the matter of the
estates of John Sullivan and W. A. Cham
bers, deceased.
The Minnesota Mercantile company has
been considering the advisability of put
ting up a warehouse and cold storage
building, and has practically completed
plans for the work. The building-, if bu;lt,
will be located just north of the Duluth
freight depot.
