LOWER RANGE OF PRICES AT CHICAGO. Grain and Hog Products Both Decline — The Break Not Very Serious —Corn and Oats Dragged Down by Wheat Wall S'treet Market Strong. Chicago, Jan. 31.—Thera was consid arable hesitation about the wheatrfrade most of the day. A leading trader said that everything mult go down until the stuff moves out if it takes wheat to 40c.

To-day wheat from five port-, 720,1(0 Lu; wheat and tior.r total. 276,0'4) The Price Current said that everybody knows that the snows have helped the winter erop condition in sections and that wheat feeding is decreasing because of cheaper corn.

In a general way the May pries held around 53c, with shorts covering and some good buying at that figure and below and a disposition to sell at and around 53'jC. The market started with sales from 53%e to 53’,c. and there was an early dip to ;>2%c then to 63%e to t3c to £>s~, 53;' n c to 53c and held 53%c. at midday. Where the trade got n > export sales of wheat at the seaboard and uo fresh buying near the close there was enough realizing by those who bought wheat for an upturn to leave the market lint at 52%@53c at the last This was %,e loss for the day. There was a break of %c in corn early. When the market recoveie.l about %c from the low point there was little action alter. The May price Leld close around the put price all day.

Local shipments were fair at 73,000 bu out of 113.000 received Wednesday. But the rates to the east will be restored Monday, and this will probably work against the market.

MAY HUSH THE SCANDAL.

domestic Troubles of J, Coleman Drayton May Be Settled Out, of. Coart. Bkhnakdsvili.e, N. J., Jan. 31.—An imprension prevails here, the home oi ). Coleman Drayton, that the domesic trbubles of Mr. and Mid Drayon will never be ventillated in juurt. It is said by seine of Mr. •rayton s friends and neighbors that He lawyers on both sides are now tryng to effect some kind of a coinproiise that the divorce suit will he ettled out of court. Those who mtertain this opinion say it explains why the trial of the •uit has been indefinitely post;oned. It is stated that the Astor family is especially averse to the case being tried in the courts. Next Monday is the time set down for a hearing in the chancellor's court in Jersey < ity on the application of Mrs. Drayton for more time to amend the answer to her husband's complaint.

BATTLE WITH BURGLARS.

Farmer Shot and <) ne of the intruders Receives a Knife Wound. Sfamock, Ind., Jan. 31.—At Todd postoffice, a few miles from Kurtz, Ind., two men entered the home of John Hellenburg by breaking in the door. Upon being awakened Hellenburg arose in bed, when the burglars opened fire upon him, one ball striking him in the breast. Mrs. Hellenburg and two sons then arose, and, with a corn knife, a board and fists, after a desperate struggle, succeeded in driving the bnrgulars away, but not until the skull of one of the sons was fractured and one of the robbers was severely cut with the corn knife.

LAND OFFICE REFORM.

CHANGES URGED TO SIMPLIFY THE WORK. Report of Dockery Experts—Repeal of Section Providing a Bonus for Successful Conte«tants Is Recommended — Capital News. Washington, Jan. 31.—The report of the experts employed under the jurisdiction of the Dockery commission on a bill to regulate the engrossing and recording of inblic land patents has been laid before the house. The report embodies a history of the organization of the general land office, describes the character of the work in the several divisions and makes sundry recommendations that will result in a saving to the government. The experts recommend that the private land claims division and pre-emption division be consolidated as a misct.llaneous land claims division, and that the railway division and the swamp lands division be consolidated as the land grants division; that all patents be prepared and recorded under division of the recorder of the land office in order to provide uniform methods, to concentrate the records and to comply with lav.; that the patterns and lists be prepared by the use of typewriting machines, by which duplicate copies can be made, saving the time of at least twenty clerksand the possibility of errors in the transcribing; that the abstracts from registers and receivers be consolidated and one abstract, signed by both officers, substituted. The total estimated saving by the adoption of these recommendations is s<lß,Bßl,

Some chtitfiges in the praetive of the interior department regarding contested land.cases is probable as a result of a reconar rendation of the Dockery commission. This commission made a favorable report on a bill recently introduced in congress to repeal section 2 of theaet of May 14, 188(1, which provides a bonus for successful contestants in land case s. Expecting that threequarters of the contest work will cease toy rea ion of the repeal of this of this section, the commission estimates that a suvii |> - will be made of the salaries of a bout three-fourths of the clerks now engaged in such work in the generi*! laud office. This annual saving a ill amount to S32,(MXk In addition t»» this sum the repeal of the prov Mon for a bonus in the act 'of 1880 wflll, says the commission, facilitate the public land business for the people and dispense with the odious featu res of the informer. The public landis committee has adopted the recommendations of the commission and sug pest that they ba inserted as a part of t>ie legislative appropriation bill. Likely- to Kill the MeaHure. Waßiiingb>n, Jan. 31.—The open eagerness of the I’acifice railroad lobby for thm passage of the Reilly refunding bill has aroused bitter opposition to the measure, and although the debate is in its infancy the weight of intelligent opinion is that the pending proposition will be defeated.

Minor ProeeOlinir* of the Upper and Lower Houses Condensed. SpiungfiesD, 111.. Jan. 31. —In the senate to-day Chairman Berry of the committee on judiciary reported favorably on the Ltlls regulating the filing of plats of guound outside of cities and villages, reducing the time for contesting wills fi’om three to two years and amending the assessment law. They were oroiered to third reading. The military deficiency bill, and the bill providing for the reconstruction of the insane asylum at Anna were passed with emergency clauses. Senator Fitzpatri ck introduced a bill to remove the §5,000 death limit. It is almost identical with the Nohe bill introducetl at the last session. Senator Bert’y introduced a bill for uniformity of text books in public schools. It is the same bill he introduced atthe last session of the legislature. Mr. Woolsey intrcdjuced a bill in the house to-day which uins to abolish A. P. A. order and subject them to large fines. The bill says tha I aJI members of societies which tends to ostracise persons for holding other religious beliefs shall be considered conspirators and subject to a fine not less than §SOO or more than §|2,000. The complainant against the ’violateirs of the act is to receive have the fii»e collected, whilethe reinaider is to be credited to the public school, fund.

New York, Jan. 3.1. —A number of out-of-town tanks have applied to their correspondents in this city to ship gold to tjhem in small amounts.

THE BILL IS READY.

Financial Measure Aj;rea-d to in Committee. Washington, Jan. 31.— A financial bill based < n the President's message has been agreed upon by th<- banking and currency committee aft< rally two days of earnest work. It v ill be reported to the house and a ru r secured limiting the debate, which wall begin Monday. It is strictly a now-partisan measure. It will probably pass the house, after bitter opposition. Changes made are as follows; The bends are made payable after ten years at the option of the gowrnment. The requirement for paying customs in gold is dropped. Rank reserves are required to be held in coin, increasing from 1.1(1 to 1.2 gradually, and half of tl»e coin must be in gold. The tax on national bank notes is reduced from 1 per cent to one fourth of 1 per cent, and this hitter amount is made payable in semi-annual installments. This is for the purpose of inducing nat’onat banks to take out circulation. The existing laws restricting rapid increase of circulation are repealed for the same purpose. The greenbacks are to be retired only as rapidl.y as bank notes are issued to take their p aces, thus preventing contraction of the currency. The original proposition to retire notes below §lO and substitute silver certificates is eliminated from the bill as amended. The necessity for recouping - the gold reserve at once is apparent to the treasury, and the prospects are that bids for an issue of I per cent bonds of §100,000,000 will be called for within a. few days. Unlike the 5 per cents, which ran for ten years, these are thirty years bonds, ami hence are likely to prove more popular with foreign investors, for this reason as well as the fact that low premium bonds are more salable abroad than high premium, high rate securities are. Representative Aldrich endeavored to secure unanimous consent to have inserted in the house record the telegrams from Chicago bankers, merchants, and manufacturers asking jor action on the President's financial policy. Jerry Simpson, tine Kansas populist, however, objected and prevented the telegrams receiving public recognition. In the senate, however, Senator Cullom secured their introduction with leave to print in the reword.

VEST SAYS ADIEV, I'artiiiK of the IVayi Comes on the Great I‘Tnnncial Onestlou. Washington. Jan. 31.—The session of the senate yesterday was unusually eventful in giving expression to the intense feeling which has been aroused by the financial question. Mr. Sherman of Ohio spoke for the first time since the new phases of the financial situation were presented. Mr. Vest lent a personal interest to the debate by declaring that the President was seeking to make congress accessory to the welding of the single gold standard on the people. The senator asserted with dramatic emphasis that he had thus (ar held his peace, but that there must now be a separating of the ways between him and the President. When the session opened Nir. Cullom (rep., 111.) presented a dispatch from all the leading banks of Chicago urging that the President's recommendations be carried out at the earliest day possible. Nir. Vest (dem., Mo.) followed with a similar dispatch from the St. Louis chamber of commerce. This was the text for one of the most stirring scenes the senate has heard in many days. Mr. Vest said the chamber of commerce of St. Louis did not represent the feeling of the people of Missouri or of the country on the financial question. He did not believe the people favored a retirement of §500,000,000 of greenbacks and treasury notes and the sub stitution of no currency at all. He did not believe they- favored gold obligations running fifty years with interest aggregating §75,000,000 at the end of that time. It was a selfish suggestion that posterity should be left to pay this bad debt. The senator asked if any man really believed the supposed emergency could not be met by treasury payments in silver. And yet the impression was being conveyed to the public that the country- was on the brink of ruin. If the President had the power he would force us to the single gold standard. ‘•But,” said Mr. Vest impressively, and raising his right hand in emphasis, "so far as I am concerned I will never vote to issue bonds to secure gold and place us on a single gold standard.” In answer to a question the senator said he did not believe there was the slightest possibility of the finance committee agreeing on any measure to report to the senate. He also declared the revenues of the country were ample and increasing. Resuming his speech, Mr. Vest said he was against the gold standard. It was a badge of oppression. “It is not pleasant,” he continued, "to differ with the head o* my party. I have remained silent for many months in order not to add to the discord within our great party. Lnt ive have now reached the parting of the ways. 1 will go no further.” Mr. Vest closed with the emphatic declaration that party could never lead him to aid in fastening the gold standard on the country.

TWO SHIPS ARE LOST.

DID VESSEL WHICH SUNK THE ELBE ALSO CO DOWN? Many Doubt that She Was the Crathle —Pieces of Wreckage Found Bearing Name “Azonia’*— List of Steerage I*asrangeri. Lowestoft. England. Jan. 31.—The horrifying details of the loss of the North German Lloyd steamship Elbe and her human freight are being discussed here by crowds of people gathered at dilferent places where the survivors remain, although a regular blizzard is blowing and. under ordinary circumstances, very few people would have ventured out of doors. The bitterly cold weather prevailing and the lack of news from any point along the coast show that there is little if any hope of any other survivors of the disaster reaching land. A life boat supposed to have belonged -to the Elbe has been washed ashore near Yarmouth. In the boat were a number of life belts and oars and it is believed to be the beat from which the fishing smack Wild Flower rescued the few persons who escaped from the steamer after the collision of yesterday morning. Everybody here is asking his neighbor the same question: ‘.'How did it cccur?” and nobody- seems able to give a satisfactory answer. A handful of the survivors who were clustered around a hotel tire this morning, indu'ged in the most bitter criticism of the still unknown ship which rammed and sunk the Elbe. All claim that she should have stood by the Elbe and that if she had done so a great many liyes wou.d have been saved. This, of course, is a matter which can not be decided until all the facts in the case are brought to light by the court of inquiry which will look into the matter. The agents of the North German Lloyd company at Southampton have been in constant communication with the German vice consul, who has been upon the spot ever since a short time after the disaster became known. It is not yet definitely established that the Crathie was the offending steamer. There are several interesting points in this distressing story which require definite explanation before all the facts in the case will become generally known. For instance, there are people who believe that a second steamer may have foundered. They base their opinions on the fact that the Ram's Gate lifeboat put to sea yesterday evening in answer to signals of distress supposed to have come from a steamer. But the lifeboat has not returned and as she got away in a blinding snow storm it is believed that she is lost and that the steamer she attempted to assist also went down.

Then, again, the word “Azonia” is branded on the oars of th'e‘boat stranded near Yarmouth, so people say that it could not. be the boat from which the Wild Flower rescued the survivor.-, of the Elbe. The name of the “Azonia” is not known in shipping circles here. The complete list of passengers on the Elbe follows: First cabin—Fritz Appel of Munich: Hugo Becker of Chemnitz; I).
