BIO DROP IN WHEAT.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—Not since the stormy days of last lummer, immediately following the collapse of the Cudahy deal, has there been such Interne Interest on the board of trade that of Friday. This time everything centered In wheat, which void down with a rush to a level which a few months ago, if predicted, would have been considered simply ridiculous. The pit waa filled with a •urging mm of brokers, and at times the situation was nothing less than panlcy. Happily there was no failures, although the strain on many operators must hare been intense.

Beftehtd thi Lowest Point* May wheat broke 8 cento, whloh, added to fractional declines during the serious weakness of the earlier days of the week, made a net shrinkage in values of 4 cents since last Saturday night, the month named registering the low point of 60 cents. Never before since there has been a speculative market has May wheat sold at a figure so low. Time and again within the last few months has the record been broken, but the deoline of Friday waa considered by all as serious in the extreme.

Corn was remarkably steady considering the aotion of wheat, but provisions broke sharply, May pork selling oil to IIS a barrel and rallying bat feebly.

Cause of Present Condition*. There is too much wheat everywhere. In the old days wheat was considered worth |1 a bushel. Latterly it has worked down, and when it was selling in the 80s and in the 70s was by many considered a good purchase for Investment reasons. Months ago large lines were accompanied by those having faith in the future of the market, and these were held in part by New York operators of wealth, by Chic*. fo bulls and by people elsewhere.

This wheat has been held through an almost steadily declining market until low prioes this winter have meant serious losses to every man who had bought earlier on the theory that an advance was among the probabilities. Little by little this wheat has been thrown' overboard by disheartened and is justed bulla Whether there is much more wheat to oome out before the present liquidation is over is an open question. The opinion was general at the close of 'change yesterday that no rally of consequence can be expected until this is at an end.

New York Traders Lose.

NEW YOBK, Feb. 10.—Great excite ment ruled in the wheat pits of the New York exchange Friday. Again the low record for May wheat was broken, amid scenes of the wildest excitement, at a price hitherto unknown in the history of the cereal. Point by point wheat continued to drop until just after 12 o'clock the unheard of figures of 18X for May wheat in this market and 00 for Ohlcago were reached. The caused tremendous liquidation of long wheat and brokers fairly fell over one another in wild efforts to sell. The wires between here and Chicago were kept hot with selling orders for New York account Within ten minutes of the close there came a pause, the excitement waa checked and a sharp re aotion ofjust one-fourth of a oent followed,which price was the final one of the day. The aggregate losses of New Yorkers in wheat during the last three months will, it is said, ex oeed 16,000,000.

Touches the Lowest at St. LouU. ST. Louis, Feb. 10.—From opening to elose at the Merchants' exchange Fri day wheat deollned steadily until BTJf cents for the Ma option was reached, the lowest point ever touohed here. There was little excitement, but some brisk ooverlng by shorts. One speoulotor bought about 800,000 bushels early in the day at around 59 oents and other shorts oovered on ths way down.

IT MAY PASS.

It is expected that S vote on the bill will be reached by Tuesday, and Mr. Bland is confident that it will pass. This opinion is

on both sides, although there may be some modifications of the bill that will make ii more acceptable to the democrats who are now opposing it

RLSTS ITS OASE.

Th* Defense In the Vtuoui Cougtitfn Trial Cloand. CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—The defense In the Coughlln trial closed Its osso Friday. After hearing some witnesses on points of minor importance, the defense called Thomas Coughlln, of Hancock, Mioh., brother of the prisoner at the bar. Judge Wing interrogated the witness, who said he lived In Hancock and was engaged in the livery business. In April, 1889, a stranger who gave his name as James Smith hired a rig of the witness, at Hancock, and when he returned to the stable after his drive a conversation ensued during which Smith mentioned that he waa ogoing to Chicago the next day. John F. Ryan, of Hanoock (whom, it will' be remembered, Martin Burke said, when arrested, that he had visited In Hancock and bad communicated with after arriving at Winnipeg^ told Smith that witness had a brother, Dan, on the police foroe In Chicago and advised him to call on him on reaching the city. Smith said he would do so, and the witness gave him one of his business cards, writing Dan's address on it. The witness swore that he had never seen nor heard of Smith sinoe, exoept as mentioned in connection with this trial. Witness said he did not know Martin Burke and had never seen him. He did not know whether Burke had called on John F. Ryan in Hancock in June, 1889. When Burke was arrested at Winnipeg he said he had come from Hancook, where he* knew John F. Ryan.

On the cross-examination Mr. Bottum questioned the witness mainly as to Uls visits to Chicago and whom he met here. Nothing of importance was brought out, and ths witness' statements were not contradicted When Tom Coughlln left the stand Judge Wing announced the case for the defense closed.

ATTACKED BY ARABS AT TIMBUCTOO.

The Column Dnder Command or Col. Bonnier Is Destroyed The Number of Killed and Captured 8ald to Be 80®.

BUTCHERED BY ARABS.

PAHIS, Feb. 10. Premier OaslmirPerler has admitted that the report that a French column had been attacked and destroyed by natives near Timbuctoo waa correct Many officers and soldiers were slaughtered. The dispatch from the governor of the Soudan states that the information comes from Capt Philippe, the French commander at Timbuctoo. The following details of the disaster are given out by the French government)

The Tuarges, Capt Philippe reports, were armed with lances and knives, which they used with terrible effeot against the French native troops. The Tuarges made their first attack upon the leading portion of the French column, whloh seems to have been divided Into two divisions.

Division Cut to Pieces.

The attack of the Tuarges was so desperate and well sustained that the first division was, apparently, cut to pieces. The news of the disaster was brought to the second portion of the column by Capt Nugette, a French officer, who, badly wounded In the head, managed to escape from the crowds of natives whloh assailed thejadvance guard. The second division was enoamped a few miles to the rear of the advance guard, whioh wss surprised during the darkness of early morning. The offioer in command of the rear guard immediately ordered his force under arms, abandoned his encampments and commenoed to retreat upon Timbuctoo, leaving the unfortunate vanguard, commanded by Col. Bonnier, to its fate. Reports are conflicting as to the number killed, but the official statement admits that at least nine French officers, lnoludlng Col. Bonnier, two European non-commissioned officers and sixty-eight native soldiers were massacred.

Bajr 800 Were Killed or Captured* The unofficial reports, emanating from the war department and colonial office, say that the loss In killed and captured Is at least 800. The rear guard, after enduring con slderable hardships, being hard pressed by the enemy, succeeded in regaining Timbuctoo on December 17, carrying with them a number of wounded. Several of the men, in addition to those admitted to have been killed when the vanguard was cut to pleoes, are Bald to have been either killed or left dying along the route during the retreat to Timbuctoo. The French officers fought bravely. Capt Philippe gathered his- whole force together and began the work of throwing up intrench ments In order to secure his position at Tlmbuotoo, which shortly afterward was seriously threatened by the Tuarges. The Tuarges became so aggressive and confident In their strength that they pushed up close to the French soldiers at work In the Intrenchments and killed and wounded several of them.

Drive the Turin Back.

Capt Philippe organized two small parties of picket soldiers who made several spirited sallies upon the Tuarges, driving them backward and killing a number of them. At least once or twice every night they would make an attack of some description upon the French lines, killing and wounding several of the small garrison. Opposed to an enemy estimated to number from 1,000 to 10,000 the French only had 00 men In the In trenchments at Tlmbuotoo, and this foroe Was only supported by six small field pieces.

The news of the disaster has caused a decided sensation In Paris and it is already announced that several questions on the subject will be asked as soon as possible in ths ohamber of deputies. The Associated Press Is Informed upon good authority that the French government will say, In reply to these questions, that Col. Bonnler's expedition was undertaken not only upon his own Initiative but against the order of the government
