SETBACK FOR WHEAT.

CORN TAKES ITS PLACE AT CHICAOO. The Latter Sells Nearly 1 Cent Pp Early an® Ha* Goad Support Late — Provision* Dali —Wall Street Doings and Price*. Chicago, May B.—Wheat traders were considerably at sea during the morning. There seemed to be a lack of confidence among both longs and shorts. The early cables were helpful as Liverpool was quoted Vt to %d up. The cable influence was offset by the general rains and the flattering crop conditions. The Washington weekly crop bulletins were the best yet sent out for the crop year. The best support in the market, however, came from the country. Northwest cars were about the same as a year ago. Local shipments were encouraging at 310,000 bu. Export clearances were not encouraging at a little more than 300,000 in wheat and flour. Continental cables repeated by New York houses at 11 o’clock gave Berlin wheat I@l% marks lower, w\th Bus dan offerings liberal and crop prospects excellent. It was reported that another 100,000 bu cash wheat sold here to go to Toledo. July wheat opened at G3>6@ S3%c, and took an early drop to 62%c. From this the price climbed to 63%c, then on a stronger bulge to 63*&c, settled back slowly to 63c, and after midday broke to 62%c and became quiet at %e under last night. Wheat closed heavy at 61%c May, 62 j ,2C July, 62%@62Vfec September. This was %c under last night for July and about lc off for September. The cash wheat for Toledo was confirmed at 75,900 bu. New York reported 8 boatloads for export. Vessel room was taken for 280,000 bu wheat. After quite a checkered course during the morning the price of July corn held at %c better than Tuesday closing figure the last hour to-day. For July the action was 50%c at opening, touched 50%c, went to 51%c, and back to 507£c. On the bulge May w'as at 51c and Sepextremely light at 85 cars. The estimate for to-morrow was the same, 85 cars. Local shipments were 210,000 bu. Out inspection here, 319,000 bu. At Western markets receipts were 140,000 bu and shipments, 329,000. Four ports showed 107,000 bu cleared for the day. New Orleans, 30,000. The receivers reported prospect of a better run of receipts following corn planting season and with better roads in Illinois and Indiana. But the belief is quite general that following such receipts may come the scarcity in the country and the possible squeeze in the market. Crop prospects may do for next year, but the trade is in July and September now. Corn alone closed at a gain for the day at 50%c May. 50%c July, 5074@51c September. Local charters were 75,000. There was some covering by shorts, some outside buying orders to fill, and pork especially got a lift. July sold at *11.97i,i and *12.20, September at *12.15 and $12.37%, and the close was at 512.1 and *12.35, over 20c up. Lard was slow and closed 2%c up at $6.67% July, $6.82 1 / ! September.

TWO MEN WITH NERVE

BOLD STACK ROJBSERY IN CALIFORNIA. Two Bavdtts Experienced ia the Work Believe Passenger* of BI.SOO —No Resistance Made and the Bobber* Bscape. Calistoga, Cal., May B.— Two masked robbers overtook a stage containing a number of San Francisco p#ople on their way to the summer resorts of Lake county yesterday and relieved them of their valuables. The robbers secured about *1,300 from the passengers and looted the Wells-Fargo treasure box, but how much they got from it is not known. The hold-up was between Calistoga and Clear Lake. The stage left Calistoga at noon and had reached a point one and one-half miles from Mirabel when two masked men stepped from the bushes lining the road and ordered the driver to halt. Keeping their pistols pointed at his head, they made him throw down the express box. While one of the highwaymen kept the driver and the passengers covered the other broke open the box, but found no money. The passengers were stood up and while one of the robbers kept them in order with his weapon the other searched pockets. These highwaymen went about their work like old hands at the business, one In particular being as cool about it as If he were collecting taxes. Twelve hundred dollars reward has been offered for the capture of the robbers.

VICTIM OF A CONSPIRACY.

Gov. Blown Claims a Plot Was Laid to Kill His Son. Louisville, Ky., May 8. —The CourierJournal prints the following: “The sensation attending the Gordon double killing is not over by half. The prosecution will attempt to prove that Arch Dixon Brown’s death was due to a plot to assassinate him. Governor Brown has reason to believe that the facts of his son's coming to Louisville on the day of the tragedy and his meeting with Mrs. Gordon were known to a man In Frankfort, who telegraphed to a man In Louisville. This Louisville man, the prosecution claims, notified Gordon that his wife was to meet Brown and ‘actively assisted in a foul assassination.’ Mr. James A. Scott, the Frankfort attorney employed by Governor Brown to prosecute the case, said: “I \yant to say that Governor Brown never authorized any statement that he would not prbseoute the case nor did he ever dream of granting a pardon to Gordon; as has been stated. Before deciding on the step Governor Brown took counsel with a number of intimate friends from all over the state. He came to the conclusion that It was due the memory of his son that there should be a full and fair Investigation of all the facts. He was convinced that Gordon must have known that his wife was dissipated, reckless and imprudent. Governor Brown and his counsel would shrink from any attack on Mrs. Gordon’s character, but would prefer to throw the veil of charity over all her acts, especially as she is dead. The future will determine whether it will be necessary to further blacken the character of Mrs. Gordon in order to show the defendant’s thorough knowledge of it. I think the developments will be surprising to some people.”

END OF THE WAR AT HAND.

Report That Cuban Rebels Are Ready to Quit Fighting. New York, May B.—A special from Havana to a morning paper says; “The end of the war Is at hand. The rumor Is confirmed in all well informed circles. The chiefs of the insurgents have abandoned their cause in despair. Capt. Gen. Martinez Campos has ordered that the works on the port of Santiago be begun at once. Railway and telegraph lines are to be built, rebuilt and improved through Manzanillo, Bayamo, Puerto Principe, Santa Cruz, San Luis and Soriano. President Cleveland’s cordial interview with Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister, is reported by the newspapers here and causes great enthusiasm among the people. This is discernible, even in the wild applause with which is greeted the announcement that the Spanish government has ordained a diminution of the tax rate on all the industries and railways in Cuba.”

Rebel* Oppose Annexation.

New York, May B.—A special to the Herald from Nassau, N. P., says: “News has been received here from Santiago de Cuba in which it is stated that the revolutionary chiefs in Interviews declare their opposition to annexation to the United States. They desire the independence of the Island under the protection of the United States and free trade with that republic. General Maximo Gome? thinks the war will last two years.”

Catholic Knights at Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., May B.—All the supreme officers of the Catholic Knights of America have arrived in Omaha and are now at work completing arrangements for the national convention of the order, which will convene in this city Tuesday. Supreme Secretary O’Rourke stated that the organization, whose chief feature is mutual insurance, is steadily gaining in membership, almost every state and territory now having its branches.

Faculty Reconsiders Its Action.

Boston, Mass., May B.—The foot ball question at Harvard is settled at last. The faculty voted at its meeting yesterday not to prohibit any student from playing foot ball. This places the foot ball situation just where it was some months ago, before the faculty voted to put a stop to the game.

John B. Tait Hopelessly Insane.

New York, May B.—John B. Tait, who is under indictment for stealing $15,000 from the Chemical National bank, where he was paying teller, will probably never be tried. Experts have decided that he is insane and has been so Cor three years.
