Fishermen expect that the price of shad will be lower next week than it has been during the past few days. During an ex- perience of forty-one yedts, ‘said an old fisherman today, he had never seen so meny shad caught during the month of March as were caught this year, the catch amounting to more than one | hundred thousand fish. Early in the season roe shad were scarce, there being not more than a dozen of ‘them in every hundred had caught, but now they are averaging about 25 per cent. “Another run of shad is expected, and should the catch be ao large one, the fish will sell at an unusually jow figure.

THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL It is Finally . Passed. After... Some Amendments. - AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT The attendance on the floor.and in the galleries of the Senate today was untsual- ly large. The RewHugt Johnson, it his opening prayer, invoked divine blessing on those nations struggling for civil and re- ligious liberty, and prayed :fon:cthe: speedy | termination of all wars. He refe also to the suffering along thé’ MisdissippT river. A resolution for a committee of five sen- ators to inquire into the, issuance.:of, land patents to the Pacific raflroads and to the California and Oregon smilroad,«-apd:.the amounts of subsidies paid to the Pacific Mail Steamship. companies» was 'Yavorably reported, but, on suggestion of..Mr. Stew- art of Nevada, went over. Mr. Vest of Missourt retertied tothe question which precipitated the recent tariff skirmish, and reintroduced his reso- lution declaring illegal the recent order of the Secretary of the Tredstry'rélatité to goods arriving after April 1 last. Mr. Vest said he would call up the reso- | lution tomorrow. A resolution by Mr. Péttigrew (8. D.) was agreed to, calling on the Postmaster General for information as to amounts paid the. Southern railroad for..carrying the mails, and what steps were taken to prevent false weighing. -- :..0++ Indian Apprepriation Bill. _ Mr. Morgan of Alabama endeavored to take up the Cuban resolution; but -Mr...Pet- tigrew interposed the Indian appropriation bill, remarking that it was not’ “‘unend- ing,” while the Cuban. question was. Mr. Davis of Minnesota also appealed to Mr. Morgan not to press the Cuban question, as he (Davis) desired today to have an executive session for the purpose, he said, of securing an agreement for a final vote on the Anglo-American treaty of arbitration. The Indian. pill was finally taken up. Mr. Allen (Neb.) offered. an, ndment for the establishment of an Indian supply warehouse at Omaha. Mr. Gear (Iowa) said this was designed to take the warehouse.away from .Chicago. If this was to be done, he would propose Sioux City, Iowa, as well as Omaha, as an Indian supply point. It led to extended de- bate as to the relative merits of various cities as supply points for the Indians. The Allen amendment was finally agreed to. An amendment by Mr. Hoaf (Mass.) for two additional federal judges in Indian territory was agi ‘0. 5 After a ccntest an amendment’ by Mr. Berry (Ark.) was agreed to limiting ‘the rolls of tribes to certain designated classes. The Bill Passed. The Indian bil! wae then passed. As it goes back to the House it containg numer- cus amendments, the most importani being that opening the Uncomp.hgre Indian res- ervation. A resolution by Mr. Mills (Tex.) was agreed to asking the Secretary of State fae iteration am tos hopecriurack cas ties made under the McKinley ‘act, and what foreign rates on American goods had been reduced in consequence. At 1:50 p.m., on motion of Mr. Davis, the Senate went into executive session on the arbitration treaty. At 2:15 p.m., on motion of Mr. Hale (Me.), the Senate adjourned as a mark of re- spect to the late Representative Milliken. o—— Acted Under Orders. Mr. George Simmons,.as,seercsaty, of, the Columbia Heights Citizens’ Aasceiation,. has written a letter to The Star, explaining that Mr. M. A. Ballinger, when he appeare:l befor2 the District Commissioners jn refer- ence to the “Carry Flats” was simply car- rying out the instruction of the association. Mr. Simmons says the association bad di- rected its executive committee to look into the matter and ‘take’ Whatever ‘action it deemed necessary. , Continuing, Mr. Sim- mons writes: “At a meeting of the executive committee of the association, held on the 12th instant, at which six of the seven members consti- tuting said committee were present, the following resolution was unanimously adopied: “ ‘Resolved, That M. A. BaHinger, ‘the president of this association, be, and he hereby is, directed to appear before the beard of Commissioners of the District, and there to do all in his power ‘to prevent the erection of the flats on 14th and Binaey streets to any height ‘above sixty feet, that being the width of said Binney street.’ “Mr. Ballinger has at all times disclaimed any personal interest in the subject and has “ever even expressed an opinion to the asso- ciation or the executive committee. as to the wisdom of this protest, but has simply acted in cbedience to the above -instruc- tions.”” pene Car ee iT Marringe Licenses.

BALTIMORE, M4d., April 19.—Senator Wellington finds it necessary to run over here to save his life from the pressing im- portunities of the office-seekers in Wash- ington. He is probably the most sought- for man in the Senate at present. That he is, and will remain, in’ every sense, master of the situation has been this week made evident. He proposes to con- trol the next legislature, and have a say as to who shall be his colleague, and has, it is said, compelled Mr. Stone and asso- clates, supposed to control the city organi- zation, to agree in uniting to permit the state appointees in Baltimore to name, under his direction, the legislative candi- dates. While ostensibly for Governor Lowndes in his ambition to be senator, he has never proclaimed it, and might swerve to another if deemed best for the party. The universal belief, however, is that He will swing the whole state into line for Lowndes when the proper time arrives. There has been mention of the name of Postmaster General Gary in connection with the senatorship. State Senator Day stoutly insists his life-long friend, ‘the general,” as he now terms him, is in the fight to stay, but Senator Wellington says positively Mr. Gary will serve out his four years in the cabinet, and is not a candi- date. There have been some whisperings as to the costliness of the impending sena- torial struggle, and it is hinted that the successful man must expect to be called upon to contribute quite lavishly to the campaign fund, the modest sum of $25,000 being named as a starter. One gentleman very close to a senatorial possibility re- marked that some men might spend all their money before the legislature meets, but that he would advise his friend to hold his barrel and tap it at Annapolis, after the memory of the expenditures of the others only remained as “a tale that is told.”” The Hennighausen incident is closed with honors easy all around, but underneath Mr. Stone is said to have been compelled to barter away all influence in state affairs to secure peace, as It is an open secret that Senator Wellington blames him for the whole miscarriage of affairs at Washing- ton. In mayoraity matters the only new name added to the possibilities is that of Mr. Robert H. Smith, who has just resigned his position as a republican member of the board of election supervisors. Mr. Smith, it was said, has resigned to enter the fight for associate judge of the supreme bench of Baltimore, but the statement is today made that he is not advers@to mayoralty honors. He has been twice defeated in previous elections, once for judge and by Mr. Cowen for Congress in 1894. He stands well in legal circles, is a civil service re- former, and, it is hinted, is the “respect. able gentleman” foreshadowed in the /terview of Mr. Stone, chairman of the city committee, alluded to in this corre- spondence recently. The party workers have received his entree into the contest very coldly, as they assert he is destitute of personal magnetism, haughty and formal in his manner, and @ poor campaigner, his public utterances being halting and hesitating in the extreme. Col. J. Frank Supplee and Mr. Wm. T. Malster are still the only names seriously considered, and their respective adherents seem to be on very friendly terms, and they keep in touch all over the city, the friends of the colonel saying, ‘“‘We propose to stick until the end,” while the Malster following say: “We want Malster, and think he should have it, but Supplee is our second choice, and we won't cry if he Wins.” The colonel puts in about three nights a week in quiet but effective work, and he is probably the readiest speaker on the platform in the city, and never fails to make friends by his felicitous style and en- gaging personality. last year, as it is claimed he shor have another chance. sis ‘The democrats MR.

Mr. Canda and Mr. Jordan were intimately associated in the management of the: ‘Western National Bank at the time that Mr. Canda was him- self assistant treasurer, during the first Cleveland administration, The accepted plan of settlement of the recent controversy is that Mr. Roberts shall be appointed United States treas- urer at Washington to succeed Mr. D. N. Morgan of Connecticut, the democratic incumbent, and that on the expiration of Mr. Jordan's term as assistant treasurer at New York this week, he shall be re- appointed for another term of four years. His reappointment is deemed essential in order to avoid any possible question as to the legality of his eontimuing in office after the expiration of his present com- mission. one In that event it willbe necessary for Mr. Jordan to renew his bond:: - Mr. Roberts is president of the Franklin National Bank of New York. He has told: his friends that. while he preferred the New York office, in respect to the wishes of President McKinley and Secretary Gage he had concluded to accept the United States treasurership at: Washington.

Alexander of McéC to“be deputy auditor for WAR NEWS PUTS UP WHEAT Over Four Gents Above Saturday's Highest =< On Selling to Realize the Rate Fell Sharply, but Rallied Again— Scenes ef Excitement. CHICAGO, April 19.—Tne war news sent the wheat market skyward today. May wheat sold as high as 7c. a bushel at the opening of trading on change, an advance of 41-4 over the closing figures of Satur- day, and 85-5 over the lowest price touch- ed that day. Fluctuations were violated, trading at the start being all the way from 77 to 78 at the same time in different parts of the pit. Most of the initial sales were at 77 to 77%, but for nearly ten minutes purchasers were being recorded at ihe top figures named. Then the market steadied for a moment or two at 77%. At this point there was a fearfully rapid reaction, the market plunging suddenly downward 2 cents a bushel to 75%, with scarcely a single stop. -An equally quick rally followed, prices dashing up to 773-8, nearly 2 cents ad- vance in two minutes. _ Five minutes after- ward the market was down again almost a cent, and at 10 a.m., half an hour after the opening was selling at 76/2 May. By 10:15 a.m. the price was shooting the chutes again, and had touched 757-8, but by 10:30 was comparatively steady around 76 1-4. Struggle of the Speculators. Before ‘change opened it evas regarded as a certainty that the market would jump on account of the war news, and at the tap of the bell the wheat pit became a sea of shouting, struggling speculators. There were no foreign markets, owing to the hol- iday season abroad. but they were not needed, everything being lost sight of in the general interest in the struggle now considered fairly on between Turkey and Greece. Fortunately, perhaps, for many commission men, there was more wheat offered than anticipated. In the flood of realizing which’ broke the advance 80 sharply during the first half hour John Cudahy took a leading part. The pit was a perfect babel. Speculators fairly climbed over themselves in their eagerness to cover or dispose of wheat already showing a heavy profit, and the packed galleries were treated to a scene of excitement seldom witnessed. Other Markets Influenced. All of the other markets were more or less violently affected, but after the ex- citement at the opening the coarse grains and provisions were rather neglected on account of the all-absorbing interest taken In the struggle in the neighboring wheat pit. May corr, which clcsed Saturday at 24%, opened this morning at from 24% to 25, ard after fluttering for a few moments be- tween 24% and 24% eettled at 24%. oats opened about Yc. higher at 1733@17%, advanced to 17% and reacted to 17%. In provisions, pork was the only staple trad- €d in to any extent, and the opening bulge was lost under heavy offerings by packers. May pork opened l5c. higher at 4.65, di clined to 8.50 and reacted to 85 May lard was quoted 2% higher at 4. May ribs 7% higher at 4.85. Just before 11 o'clock there was another whirl of excitement. For some litile time the market had shown symptoms of weak- ness. All at orce the bottom seemed to fell out, ard prices pitched headlong off to 74%, a fall of 3% as compared with top figures at the opening. A whipsaw of hair- raisig rapidity followed, a full cent ad- vance to 75% and a decline to 74% suc- ceeded each other in a way that was be- wildering even to the old veterans. —— ANGELL’S MISSION. 4 DR. Developments Showing That It ia of a Special Nature. ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 19.—Several facts have been developed here since Dr. J. B. Angell’s appointment and his depar- ture for the south, which makes it evident that hts -mission to-Turkey is of a special nature, similar to that which he executed in China in 1880, and particularly in the interest of American missionaries who have been persecuted under the Turkish government. It has become known that Dr. Angell had received an offer of ap- pointment of regular minister to Turkey for four years, and that he declined. He did not wish to be that long away from the university. Later he was asked to go to force a settlement of the claims of Amer- ican missionaries against the Turkish gov- ernment, and accepted. When that work is done his mission will have been per- formed, and he will return to this country. Dr. Angell’s selection for this post is par- ticularly gratifying to the foreign mission- ary organizations in the United States, which are said to have exercised all the in- fluence they could bring to bear to secure his appointment. For several years he has been a corporate member of the American board of commissioners for foreign mis- sions, and has been active in its work. He has been recognized, too, as one of the ablest men connected with the body, and its members feel confident that he will per- suade the Turk to have a greater respect for American rights in the future. In an interview Dr. Bradshaw, minister of the Congregational Church of which Dr. Angell is a member, said: “Just what part, if any, the “American board of foreign missions took in securing Dr. Angell’s appointment I do not know. I do know, though, that a large part of his duties in Constantinople will carry him along the same line of. work he has been doing in the committee for the board in this country. He was on that committee appointed by the American board in To- ledo last October to urge President Cleve- land to force a settlement of the Amer- ican claims and secure for our missionaries a better protection. i “There are now pending before the Turk- ish government claims to the amount of $750,000 for lives and property of Ameri- can missionaries destroyed in the outrages perpetrated by the Turkish soldiers. It is in the mild prosecution of these claims this government has been ignored and insulted in a way the powers of Europe would not tolerate. “I do not know Dr. Angell’s sole mission in Turkey is to right the wrongs that have been done to missioraries. I do not know ‘that he -has not -taken anybody into his confidence to the extent of telling all his ar- rangements with the administration with the acceptance of the post. It is under- stood here, though, that he will not be ab- sent for four years, but that he will return as those claims are settled and the Turkish government is made to feel that the mis- sionary property and American citizens must not be molested in the future.” Prof. Martin L. d’Ooge, who will probably serve as acting president of the university during Dr. Angell’s absence, and is one of ‘his-closest friends, is at present out of the city, but from Mrs. d’Ooge it was learned that Dr. Angell did not intend to remain in Constantinople the full four years. “Dr. “‘Afigell will not give up the presidency of the university,” said Mrs. d’Ooge, “and will probably not ‘be absent from it for more than a yezr and a half, end he will probably return to Ann Arbor very soon after that is done. “i | “There are still several outrages on Amer- ‘ican missionaries there that have to be righted. I understand that Dr. Angell will go to Turkey principally to adjust these cases. ’' Dr. Angell’s connection with foreign’ mis- sion ‘work has extended over a period of ‘ and he ts ere as one of ‘The Idea of Having Designs on Hawaii Ridiculed.
