I'll# Absence of ffrain In the Northa-est IBa* the moet bearish feature In wheat Bad caused a lower opening. There was considerable selling of July by elevator intermrts and one. or two l^rge commiss.on houses. Buying was largely by shorts, who had a profit on the decline. There were a few slight up-turns, but on advance# there was renewed selling and the %k)*e was weak. The difference between Way and July narowed to Ifcc. 'ftie visible supply showed a decrease of 2,427,000 bushel#. The world’s shipments for the past week were 6.882.000 bukhels. Com was eusler. The visible decreased 3,836,080 bushels. Oats showed little change. Provisions were again lower, particularly for pork. Rib# and lard held better, regardless of the large stocks of lard reported by Fairbanks.
The SitaWtioa.
1 Boston Commercial Bulk-tin. What more can be aakl of the situation, than that events seem* to be gradually drawing to the focus? We shall not only have the crops this year to move stock market prices up and down upon, but the two presidential conventions, not to mention probable developments In Cuban and Venezuelan affaire. At present, the out-
vrome cf the Cuban matter is less certain
than that 1 of the Vencsueian. John Bull has bean pla/in; a bluff game down in
Venezuela, but his bluff was called, and
his affairs in South Africa, the Soudan, and the general European political situation constitute powerful reasons for Ids wishing amity in this hemisphere. Htgardlna the St. Louis convention. It

to town merely for the purpose of social Intercourse, for their purchases are most unsatisfactory In volume. There is no very solid basts to price* in any direction and the drop In the London sales has had, of course, a dispiriting effect. Neither manufacturers nor dealers appear to take much interest in the coming clip. In spite of th- fact that money is much easier than it was. This Is in part due to the fact that there are heavy stocks of raw- wool In the hands of mills and dealers, and in part to the very uncertain future of the
goods market. '*
In the We*t farmers and dealers are
holding very stiflly for last year's prices, and to-day dealers do not see. much margin for operating with wool In Us present slumped condition. A ray of hope springs from the fact that the house that made a shipment to England of Western baled wool, a month or so ago, has Just shipped another lot of 23.000 pounds. A cablegram received Thursday from England offers W cents for new Utah wool delivered in England. That Is. to be sure, cent less than the lowest at which good Utah could be landed there. These two facts, however. show that there is a price at which,;
Europe will take American wools.

Consequently If we assume that the Venezuelan matter will be amicably settled and that the St. Lotiut convention will declare lor gold, there enn be nothing else but a bull market, for these j are bull factors of the utm-DS impurtaiite. ; Undoubtedly some men have come 'o similar conclusions and have been buying stocks tor the big rise -which they !

’The Quotation*.
New York, May 4.—The initial prices | were generally a fraction above 3atur- | day’s closing figures, with the gains of ! most consequence In the railway light. The market was favorably influenced by higher quotations from London, and did not reflect the gold export anticipations. Bay State Gas was buoyant, rising 3% to 29*1. Sugar and Tobacco developed weakness after the early trading, reacting 1 and DA per cent respectively. The market displayed a reactionary tendency soon after 10:15. The movement, however, dll not obtain much headway, vigorous support being extended to some specialties at the level. Bay State Gas was the feature. and rose to 3114 dn good buying. Sugar, Chicago Gas and Tobacco also gained notable fractions. At 11 o’clock the railway list was quiet, but current quotations were generally a shade above last week’s final prices. Tnuling jyas rather quiet during the next hour, the traders holding off until the extent of to-morrow’s gold shipments could be determined. The Rubber shares displayed exceptional weakness, the common losing 2% and the preferred 3^4 per cent, respectively on rumors of an impending combination. Bay State Gas sold oft 1% per cent, from the top on realizations. The early extreme rise of 5>4 per cent, to 31*4 was manipulated by Boston interests on rumors of consolidation, etc. The general market at mid-day retained the early gains, despite the dullness, being partially supported by London purchases of the Internationals. Some foieign selling was noted also. The sales to noon were 67,200
shares. __

am not questioning her veracity. It is not a reflection on the-sex to say that no one cart be so positive about a thing as a wom-

"When she will, she will, you may depend
on't;
When she won’t, she won’t, and there’s an — end on’t.’* "Well, whether they are positive cr not, the ladles are usually eorrHR,’’ here interposed Colonel Crawford. "Your word is not good authority,'* snarled Colonel Nelson. "You have not associated enough with respectable women to know.” Colonel Crawford half rose to his feet at the insult, the court-room stirred uneasily as people leaned forward wondering what was to follow. Judge Helm rapped on th*i bench with hla gavel, and said: ' Gentiemen in front of*the bar will not indulge in personalities.” "I hope the Court will understand that that remark was only meant as a pleasantry," said Colonel Nelson. Colonel Crawford was white to the very tteth, and his hands, resting on the table In from, of him, were tightly clenched. Colonel Nelson, somewhat disturbed by the omincue stillness that had fallen upon the court-room, proceeded with his argument. He said that he wanted to know whether the witness knew the exact movements of Scott Jackson during the week from the 27th to the Slst of January. It was matter of vital Importance to prove this closely and truly. He said: "As a rule, there Is no one who knows the whereabouts of a man as well as the man himself. and we believe' that we can show contradictions between the testimony of the witness on the stand and the statements of the prisoner himself. The jury will have a right tp determine whether the prisoner told the truth as to his whereabouts, and in connection with these facts we think it lays with the jury as to what weight they will give this extraordinary witness as to the'whereabouts of this defendant during the entire week, and In view of this, the commonwealth asks the privilege of continuing the cross-examina-tion." "You hare fully examined the witness as to every night and every morning of that week,” said Judge Helm. "I have not touched upon Saturday morning,” said Colonel Nelson. “Well, as to those times on which you have not touched, you may interrogate the witness, but the examination must be reasonable, and you must not ask questions that have already been answered," said Judge Helm. The Court here Instructed the sheriff to bring back the jury and the witness. An Exciting: Scene. “Just a moment," said Colonel Crawford, raising his hand. A hush fell over the room, as. trembling with Indignation, the colonel rose to his feet. “Before Your Honor does anything further,” he said, “I want to say this, and I want to say it here and now: I am an officer of this court. I am here in an honest endeavor to do my duty to my client. The gentleman on the other side, in the face of this, has seen $t to make a statement. He made that statement under the protection of this Court, and it passed without rebuke. It was a statement which reflects upon, my honor and my character.* In the next breath he says he meant it as pleasantry. I say that this is extraordinary conduct. For this insult, this reflection upon my character, I demand the protection of the Court. I demand that the colonel on the other side be made to explain his meaning, for I'intend tp, and most certainly shall, hold him personally re-
“OOM PAUL”IS A DIPLOMATE
ENGLAND ADMITS THE TRItUPH OF THE WILY BOER.
The Transvaal Raid Shown To Have Been the Work of a Financial Ring: — Russia and I'ersia— Saturday’s London Cables.
London Cable New York Triban*. The wily Boer, with all the trumps ia his own hand, has read the backs of the marked cards which his feeble and bewildered opponents were holding without knowing how to play them. With a diversion like this tq while away the leisure of his old age.-^t is not strange that he has resisted the temptation of foreign travel and remained at home. Few public men ever had a greater personal triumph than President Kruger, who, with his untutored Arcadian simplicity, has been more than a match for Cecil Rhodes, the most ambitious of imperial statesmen, and for Mr. Chamberlain, the embodiment of English common sense. When he sent a defiant dispatch early last January, asserting that the invasion of the Transvaal .was the plot of a group of financiers, and that he had documentary evidence to prove it.his message was not taken seriously in England. The charge was considered well-founded, but nobody believed that he had evidence incriminating Rhodes. He has produced his proof, and it is unanswerable. No sharper transition of public opinion was ever witnessed in England than that which has taken place this week. At first there was horror over the death sentences, and cynical contempt for the antiquated barbarity of the Dutch law, which could not be enforced, or. If, It could, wouul lead to war between England and the Transvaal. President Kruger, who had spared Jameson and the raiders, again intervened with mercy for the millionaires of Johannesburg. Then came the cipher dispatches, the documentary proof to which he referred four months ago, and there was ati immediate revulsion of feelirg. Doubt as to the meaning of those dispatches there could be none. The Invasion of the Transvaal was a discreditable and sordid plot of Rand capitalists, with the former premier of the Cape Colony behind them, and egging them on, with the African directors of the Chartered Company conspiring with them, and with Jameson, an idealist and a unique figure, because he was poor and not mercenary, as their principal puppet. The Insincerity of the political reformers at Johannesburg was at once unmasked; the specious plea, of knight-erranty in behalf of Imperiled and helpless women and children was discarded as an Idle tale. __lt was simply a financiers’ raid, reckless in conception and feeble in execution; dishonorable to the English reputation for morality and fair play, and disastrous in consequences to two jealous races, whose fortunes are bound together in South Africa.

" adjourned that he could n half dollar w:th a pistol at
police officers hav.e questioned me regarding it, not once but a hundred times since Mr. Jackson was arrested.” "What day of the month was Friday night before the murder?” “It was Jaunary 30.” “Are you quite sure?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Are you as sure of that as you are of the fact that you. did not return till 11 o’clock that night?” “Yes, sir, I am.” "You could not posibly be mlqfaken?” "No. sir. I’ll tell you how I know. There was a lady friend of mine gave a party that night on account of her birthday, and her birthday is on the 31st no, that's right; It was the 31st.” “And yet you told me it was the 30th, and you were positive of it.” "Well, I was mistaken,” said the wit-
ness simply.
Her cool manner and positive answers confused the Colonel and he grew irritable and angry. He stood up and he shook his finger as he began to further question the witness. He asked questions over and over again in attempt to confuse the witness, but he failed to get her rattled at all. The Colonel got sarcastic; he sneered, he made side remarks, he shouted at the the witness, and then Colonel Crawford said: "Your Honor, I think this w.tness has gone over the ground enough. I object to this bullying of the w.tness.” Judge Helm said: "Colonel Nelson, I think this witness has been pretty well cross-examined.” “I think so, too,” said Colonel Nelson, with a laugh. To the witness; "When did you leave the house on Monday night, January 27?” “I object, Your Honor," said Colonel Crawford. “That matter has unready been
gone into."
Colonel Nelson—Your Honor, I want to
say that—
Colonel Crawford—If Colonel Nelson insists on arguing the question, t demand that the jury and the witness be allowed

Judge Helm—Let the jury and the wit-
ness retire.
A Row Between attorneys.

Notes of the Trial. The Jury was weighed by Sheriff Plummer last week. The total weight of the twelve men is 2,368 pounds. The jury went out for an outing yesterday morning on the steamer Henrietta. The boat left York street at 8 o’clock and went to Moscow, O., stopping on the way at New Richmond. During the row between the two leadiqg attorneys in the case Mrs. Jackson nearly fainted. Mrs. Post and Mrs. Hughes fanned her vigorously and Scott Jackson took her hand and whispered to her, trying to reassure her. When quiet had been restored Mrs. Jackson was assisted out of the court-room. She looked very ill and tottering. She did not re-
turn.
Colonel Crawford, for the defense, said to The News reporter: "I expect to get my evidence all in by Tuesday night. I may be disappointed and may not get through until Wednesday.” It is believed that the rebuttal evidence to be produced by the commonwealth will take two or three days to get In. There Is small hope of getting the case to the jury by next
Saturday.
If any witness has ever been thoroughly discredited, that man is the Walnut Hilts coachman. George H. Jackson. No one now believes his story. He is one of the men about whom It was said: "There are two witnesses who will leave the witnessstand for the jail." There is a warrant out for him now in the hands of the police, and !t Is believed that he will be
taken and locked up.
While it is pretty generally conceded that the commonwealth has not made out much of a case against Scott Jackson, there is still a very strong belief that he will not get out of this trouble alive. There is plenty of talk of summary proceedings. and the jail here Is a crazy old brick structure that a good strong man could kick to pieces with his boots. It Is believed by those that have heard the evidence that Jackson, while possibly not technically guilty, is morally so. and the evidence has been very damaging to Alonzo Wailing. It is believed that Walling will not stand a ghost of a chancr. Walling’s trial Is set for May 12.

Bavaria's Mad King. London Cable New York Sun.
Bavaria has celebrated this week the forty-eighth birthday of her mad King Otto, by military parades and religious services, just as though he were not, to all intents and purposes, dead and buried. The time was when these celebrations were something more than official and formal. When the most loyal Bavarians were chafing under an unpopular regency, the government looked forward to King Otto’s early restoration to reason and to his throne, of which he had been unjustly deprived. But the popular mind has changed, and the popular heart no longer bleeds for the unhappy monarch who has passed so many days tn a living tomb. Doubtless., men m^y still be found in Bavaria, especially in the remoter rural districts, who believe that King Otto Is sane, and that his Imprisonment is due to a Prussian plot. But their numbers - become smaller every year, and their faith in the King coming by his own
has long lost lu vigor
Every year the physicians examine King Otto and report respecting his mental condition to the regent and the German Emperor. This year, as usual, the report declares that Otto is irretrievably mad, although physically he continues in robust health and will certainly live to a good old age unless, indeed, cerebral apoplexy should follow one of his paroxysms of maniacal violence. An Interesting picture for the moralist or ratlrist is presented by that lonely Bavarian castle where this Insane monarch is rigorously secluded form the world. The royal household is complete in every particular and maintained at great cost. The fullest etiquette of courts is observed. Lords in waiting, grooms of the chamber, chamberlains, physicians and the like bend low as they enter the royal presence, and retire backward in a strictly orthodox manner. The position must have been trying for the courtiers in the earlier days, before practice in dodging missiles had been made perfect, for Otto has varying moods, not the least infrequent being a childish fondness for throwing things at people. For this, among other reasons, the personnel of mad Otto’s court has been unchanged during the eight years he has occupied his present quarters, save by death. Otto’s aim Is often painfully true, but the injured courtier never makes a fuss, and cheerfully returns to his duty as soon as he Is out of the surgeon’s hands. One of these days King Otto will doubtless kill somebody, but probably the outside world will never know It. At one time Otto was enormously fat, but he has lest most of his superfluous flesh within the last three years, with advantage to his general health. His physical strength is* said to be enormous, necessitating the efforts of a half dozen strong men to restrain him from murder and suicide during his more violent oaroxysms. It Is needless to say that^tiquette on those occasions ia not strictly observed, the King being, perforce, treated like any other homicidal maniac. After these fits of frantic rage and violence King Otto invariably subsides Into a state of maudlin apathy, with occasional degeneracy Into bestiality. At rare intervals, becoming rarer every year, he has a glimmering of reason, followed invariably by mental darkness blacker than Why the pitiful pretense of keeping

While the fashionably-dressed members of Parisian society Friday were surveying the pictures in the newly-opened salon, sounds of smashing glass were heacd In one of the rooms, and the excited on-look-ers saw an elegantly-dressed young lady vigorously poking a sun-shade through one of the pastels. She was removed by the guardians, and it was learned that she was the wife of the painter whose picture she destroyed. She said she committed the act because her husband persisted In. displaying in his paintings the charms of a lady whom she regarded as a rival. She also prom :st'd to continue these vigorous remonstrances at the first opportunity.

U. has decided to extend Ha pure food campaign through the summer months, and as much longer as may be necessary to accomplish the results hoped for.

■ -O- - * Letter Curriers’ Delegates.
The Letter Carriers’ Aswctatlon yesterday elected William Ku-Hemeier, Jacob Brown and Fied A. Lorenz to represent
during the contest which ended last night in the defeat of the socialistic-labor candi-
date by an unexpectedly narrow majority. The candidate had never given any consideration to Queen Victoria's domestic arrangements, and gave a vague, soft answer, which ought to have turned away wrath, but which did not. He estimatts that question lost to him some scores of votes, and this is probably correct, for the questioner and his friends were desperately In earnest. It seems that the Queen's household consumed last year over $10,000 worth of beer and *30,000 worth of light wines. These totals do not include the amount spent In drink at Osborne and Balmoral, which, being the Queen’s property. the cost of their maintenance does not appear In the estimates dealt with by the Hou.se of Commons.

Her Majesty, of
course, has her own private cellars at all her palaces, and probably her capital locked up in wines is never less than $250,000. But this is nobody’s business but her own. Queen Victoria herself Is most abstemious.—London cable New York Sun.

England'!* Shame.
-London Cable New York Pun. Even the murder of the Shah arouses little public interest in this country compared with yesterday’s startling revelations with regard to the plot against the Transvaql government. The public revulsion of feeling against Mr. Rhodes, Otiptaln Jameson and the other conspirators continues as strong as at first, but some Journalistic supporters of Rhodes and the Chartered Company are stultifying themselves by attempting to defend them, even in the face of President Kru-
ger’s damning evidence.
To-day we have mild suggestions from servile organs like the Times to the effect that all great men make mistakes, and Rhodes is too valuable and too great to be sacrificed because his ardor In behalf of the empire caused him to overshoot th$ mark. Attempts are already being mads to draw attention off to side issues, and more innocent interpretations given to some Incriminating dispatches, and they will soon be referred to as obscure documents from which wrong Inferences have been drawn. It may be that l put too great faith in the public conscience of England, but my present belief is that the people of this country will not allow this evidence of guilt to be ignored, and will insist that justice be done, no matter whq
gets hurt.
Notes.
Picture On Kxlilbltlou. A picture called "Stella,” by Napoleone Nani, was put on exhibition to-day at No. 7 West Washington street It is announced that U has been exhibited in nearly every city in this country and in Europe. It Is a picture of the nude— theSe pictures that go over the country for special exhibition are generally pictured of the nude, and this raises a query as to their place in art. A picture that might be in place in an art gallery might be out of place as a tobacco sign. It seems rather a lone example for an ex-
hibition.
