Some of the trans- parencies were quite or'gmal.

Several thousand bicyclists also paraded under the auspices of the National Wteel- men’s McKinley and Hobart Club. With innumerable lanterns and decorations they made a very pretty display. The two big parades arranged for next Saturday night have both been aban- doned. The Republicans had secured a permit to parade on the south sxd_e and the Democrats were granted a similar privilege on the west side. Beth wanted to ma:ch over tne same route, and the Democrats applied to the courts for an in- junction to prevent the police authorities from interfering With their parade on the south side. This was refused. Then the Republicans cecided to call off their parade, in order to prevent possible clashes between the two bodies. It is said that they even offered to turn over their permit to the Democrats, but the latter declined to accept such favor from their opponents and declared their parade also abandoned. To-night’s demonstra- tions are, therefore, the last of their kind in the present campaign. PABST DIVORCED IN SECRET.

Diplomats of Austria Evidently Trying to Form Some Action on the Turkish Question. VIENNA, AvstriA, Oct. 24.—The rep- ciated Presses learns that conferences were held yesterday between Count Goluchow- sky, the Imperial Foreign Mjnister, and the Austrian Embassadors to Russia, Germany and France, all of whom had been summoned from their posts for the purpose of meeting Count Goluchowsky. The conference was continued this morning, and later the foreign Ministers conferred with the King of Greece, who is visiting Vienna, and with the British and Italian Embassadors to Austria. - After- ward, Count Goluchowsky, the King of ceeded to Budapest to have an audience with Empeéror Francis Joseph, who is at present in the Hungarian capital. Much speculation is indulged in among those who are aware of tie holding of the con- ferences as 1o their object, but so far noth- ing definite is known, although it is sur- mised that the matter has some bearing on the Turkish quesiion.

ARMOUR AFTER CUDAHY'S SCALP Drop in Wheat Prices Due to an Old Elevator Feud. Some One Will Get Badly Pinched Unless the Market Soon Revives. BEARS ARE KINGS OF THE PIT, Fear on 'Change at Chicago That the Coming Week Wilt Bring Forth Failures. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 24—The wheat market was panic stricken on the Board of Trade to-day. December went to vieces at a disastrously rapid rate. The worst break in the price occurred since the 80-cent high mark was reached Mon- day, and traders were left floundering in a state of bewilderment and confusion. A fall of 4 cents made a dark, hoveless pic- ture for the bulls to contemplate during the day of rest. ihe week’s tumble in the price of the speculative future has been over 10 cents. The low point reached to-day was 69 cents, and the ciosing price was only 3{ above. Yesterday's final quotation was 73)4 cents. The bears were kings of the wheat pit. They forced the price down 3 cents at the opening. The Liverpoot market was flat ‘for futures, declining 2!4d, and the Chicago market followed in the footsteps of the foreigner. There was a brief rally of 1 cent or more and then came the 4-cent break at 11 o’clock to fill the holders of long lines with fear that the market might break them next week. The big bulls are reported to be totter- ing on the verge of a losing price as the market now stands to-nignt. Cudahy sold some of his wheat on the last break, bat the trade could only conjecture as to the quantity he gotrid of. The general belief is that he could not have sold a_big lot in the face of such a demoralized market, ready to drop the price at the least provocation. There was a story going the rounds on | *Change to-day which revives the long standing and bitter fight between the Armour and other elevator interests and the majority of the boaid, represented by the directors. Mr. Armour has not for- given the prosecution of his firm by the directors on the charge that his elevators were irregular, which ended in the sus- pension of his elevator manager, Valen- tine, for tweniy years. It is said that among the big bulls who are long on De- cember wheat are several members who are active in the fight against the elevator interests and that the latter, of which Mr. Armour is the leader, are in a position to squeeze these particular balls to the break- ing point. There was an undercurrent of fear on 'Change that next week will bring failures of conséquence if there should be another big fall in the price of wheat. The material advance in the local mar- ket yesterday was expected to effect a similar turn in the Liverpool market, but when the reverse was flashed across sea and land to the Chicago wheat pit the news struck the bulis like lightming from a cloudless sky. They were speechless with surprise. They were unable to make a show of resistance and prices were ham- mered down in the first’ transactions to 70 cents. 1Inthe course of the next half hour’s business there was a slow but steady advance to 707 cents. Attention was directed to the domestic sitnation by the heavy movement of spring wheat in the Northwest. There was no encouragement for holders of high- priced wheat in the week’s reports from the coasts and interior. Many well- informed traders think the Liverpool de- cline was engineered from this end, and there was a free expression of opinion that a leader in the provision trade was at the bottom of 1t. John Cudahy and his long wheat are supposed to be the objective voint of the elevator men, or at least an incident of their scheme. It is believed that their chief reason for spending a little money to break prices 1s that the 60,000,000 bushels or so of “hedged” wheat sold by the elevator men of Chicago and the Northwest against their cash holdings require a big sum of money in the form of margins to conduct their business, and they want to shake down those margins at all hazards. The outside trade has suffered seriously by the present break, although that trade is not as great as during former big wheat flurries. Stop loss orders were the feature of the market on the decline to 69 cents. Most of the country buying orders were only at figures above 70 cents. The cash wheat situation is still a disturbing factor in the market, and aifficulty in obtaining money to carry grain is given as one of the chief reasons for the anxiety to un- load. Small holders were obliged to let go at a loss, and there was tumbling of pyramids. Altogether it was the most demoralized trade of the year, brinving more trouble than joy to ail who partici- pated. 3 — Kilied on the Pavement, HAMILTON, Mo., Oct. 24.—Warren Moffitt and his son-in-law, Lincoln Denny, both of Mirabile, became involved in a figbt..
