Of the plans which the Secretary has under consideration the one which be con- siders the most feasible contemplates the emnlovment of reindeer, William A.

C., Dec. 9.—Fivs or six, and perbaps seven, lives have been lost in the White Horse Rapids, Lewis Liver, during the last two months, according to John Hepburn, who arrived from there to-day. A boat built for four or six men was found below the rapids one morning, but there was no trace of the occupants. They must ali have been drowned. There is now very littie open water between the rapids and lakes, most of ii being frozen over. At White Horse Rapids there are about thirty people, and there are thiriy-five at the foot of Marsh Lake. There are ut least 100 more below White Horse, and many others have gone into the Hoota- lXqu!'ln country to prospect during the winter. Hepburn bad heard of no stri being ma tary streams, but a man washed $1600 from the river bar last sum- mwer. Hepburn believes that rich strikes will be mace on the Hootalinqua this winter. At Tagish House the weather was bit- terly cold, the thermometer registering 42 aegrees below zero. People were mot making their way all along the route at the bead of Lake Bennett.

MAD RUSH OF BEARS FOR COVER. An Advance of Nine Cents a Bushel From the Low- est Point. |$1 09 THE HIGHEST PRICE REACHED. From Many Polnts Wheat Will Shipped to the Lake City and Sold to Aavantage. Be Special Dispatch to THE CALL. CHICAGO, Dec. Not since Septem- ber, 1889, when B. P. Hutchinson (*'Old Huteh'') engineered his famous corner, sending prices up to $2, has there been such a squeeze in wheat as there is at The worst of it, from the stand- point of the bears, is that the squeeze will continued. The shorts are demoral- ized, and in their mad rush for cover are playing into the hands of the longs and working out their own damnation The price to-day advanced to $109. It | touched that point twice, and about 30,000°| bushels sold at that figure. The advance | from the lowest point was nearly 9 cents, | and at the close the sales were at §1 07, or 63{ cents above the close of Wednesday. Thne price has appreciated 15 cents within a week, and wheat sold the highest since August, 1891, when the Russian famine scare was on. From the iow point in June December has advanced 44 cents. and there is.no telling where the end will be. The range for the day was $1 011 1o $109. Atthe start the sales were at $1 0114 | to §1 04 at the same time. There was a rush to buy which continued at intervals all day. Prices fluctuated widely, going half to one cent between trades. All the buying that advanced prices was by shorts, the Leiter party, who have about 7,000,000 busheis bought for delivery this month, doing a good vart of the selling. It was their intention oi keeping prices down until abcut the end of the month. A statement that came from the best sources that wheat is to be shippedjas soon as delivered instigated the buying. Arrangements have been made to send something unusual. Itistogoon a 12-cent rate to New York, which is equal t0 7.2 cents per bushel. This is lower than the lake and rail rate. It1s said the Pennsylvania bas be | captured the bulk of it, as other iines are blocked-at Buffalo and unable to handle | it. From a transaction of 250,000 bushels two days azo, tuere was an increase to ),000. The Leiter party made an effort to keep the price down, and soid through brokers at §1 05, also at different times as prices moved up, but were unable to prevent a bulge. They were also in May, buying and sell- A part of their sales for December were replaced with May at a discount of 34 to 16 cents. This has been the play ever since they have beén in the market last spring. At present, however, they are getting wheat back at a wider dis- count than heretofore. They have heid about 7,000,000 bushels, and there is only 3,000,000 bushels in store. This gives them an advantage over short sellers. The ad- vance enabled the pool to sell out a part of their surplus holdings at profits rang- ing from 15 to 25 cents. The sudden adavance has develoved a larger short interest than was expected. Tiere was large buying by commission ou<es, who had customers short 5000 to 5,000 bushels. They cared not about the price, but wanted to get in out of the way of tne bull pool. Heavy purchasers were made on orders from New Yorkers, who recently sold because they considered prices too high. Those who led the buy- ing were Carrington & Hannah and Logan, about 250,000 bushels being taken by the two houses. When premiums over other marketsare figured they meke a surprising array, Chicago was at one time 10 cents over New York, 7 cents over St. Louis, 16 cents over Minneapolis, 17 cents over Duluth and 12 cents over Toledo. There is now a profitabie shipping margin between Chi- cago and the Northwestern markets and also from Toledo and about even with New York. The premiums will attract wheat here, and it was asserted that betweon 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 bushels will be shipped from the Northwest, as there isa protitof 6 10 7 cents in it. Holders of wheat there will { take therisk of it grading here and also | of having to pay higher prices to get it back if necessary later in the season. It was also claimed that a cargo was to be skipped here from Toledo and that three cargoes of Duluth wheat, recently shipped to Buffalo, have been ordered here. There were also numerous orders from Ohlo, ln- diana and Kentucky. Late rumors were that shipments would be made from New York, butit was not credited. Judging from all reports Chicago is to be made the dumping ground for the country and bulls will be forced 10 take more wheat than they figured on. 2 It is announced on the best authority that, in aadition to ithe engagement of rail-room from Chicago to' the seaboard for 5,000,000 bushals, storage capacity has been secured at New York for 5,000,600 bushels, and of ocean room from Boston and Portiand for 1,000,000 bushels. The rete of 314 pence per bushel has been ob- tained from Boston to Liverpool, which is 3£ pence lower than the going rate from New York, shipments to be made in Jan- uary and February. Those who are short say the advance is due to manipulation. On the other hana, the bulls say it is on lezitimate demand. Messages from the seaboard late in the day said the advance had shut off foreign buying, and only 160,000 bushels were sold to fore:gners. All Broker French of the Leiter party had tosay was that they were not selling any wheat to speak of. P. D. Armour, who is regarded as the largest short, smiles and says he thinks wheat should sell for $1 every day in the vear, that be is buying May, and he thinks December will sell at §1 35.. December has become a fancy deal, and new business is being refused by commission houses unless cash property is back of the order. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—The sensationat advance in Chicago to-day from $1 00 to $109 was reflected locally by a neat im- provement of 14 1o 13 per bushel. Speculation, while active at times, did not approach the excitement reported in the west, a8 traders here were pretty well evened up and too shrewd in the present unsettled state of the market affairs to branch out into fresh deals. Accordingly on!y a scalp nz business was accomplished save for a little foreign buying early in the day. The December option <old from 98 to 983/ cents and closed at 987 May closing at 5. The advance effecuvely checked exporiers who were able to secure twenty loaas. S1. LOUIS, Dec. 9. —The bulge in wheat in Chicago to-day show=1 its citect here. December opened at 993 cents bid, ad- vanced 3¢ soon aifter and :ater sold un to $1. The advance in Chicago caused some uneasiness among the shorts here and they began to cover. This, with a good demand that had developed. started the price upward, and it shortly touched §101}{. Later a jump to $1 02 was record- ed. A reaction set in, and the price dropped 1o $1013¢, but just before the close the market became strong, and the top price, $1 02, was touched again. The close was at that fi ‘ure bid. EVIDENCE OF A MURDER. Human Foot Penetrated by a Spike, Faund on the Truck of a Puliman Slesper. CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Evidence of start- ling nature, which indicates that murder has been committed somewhere between Chicago and Denver, on the Chicago and Alton Railroad, was found to-day on the top trucks of the Pullman sleeping-car Miltiades, shortly after its arrival in Chicago. ltwasa human foot, apparently that of a man, and a long nder spike penetrated the The foot, which had been torn off above the ankle, was bare and mutilated. Liga- ments which had been torn from the upper poition of the limb ana remained attached to the foot in dismemberment, were twisted around the blood-stained trucks of the sleejer. The'police belicve that a man bad been tied to the raiiroad track, his feet spiked to the ties, and that be had been left to await certain death under the train. On this theory inquiries are now being made at every point between Chicago and Denver. The spike, which was 1a tne center of the toe, was about five inches long and of the kind used in certain paris of railroad construction where a delicate yet sirong piece of metal is used to hold wood toszether. There was no blood on the engine, which, the railroad men sav, e toe, case may be, occurred west of Blooming- ton, as a change of engines is maae at that point. SOUGHT 70 BRIBE A LOS ANGELES JUROR F.

Chairman Hitt of the House Com- mittee Appoints a Sub-Commit- tee on Cuban HMatters. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The Commit- tee on Koreign Affairs of the House of Representatives Leld its first meeting to- day and outlined its work on the several important foreign questions now pending. Chairman Hitt appointed the following sub-committee to desl with Cuban atfairs: Adams of Pennsylvania, Heatwole of Minnesota and Berry of Kentucky. The sub-committee to consider Hawaiian affairs is composed of Hitt of Illinots, Smith of Michigan and Dinsmore of Ar- kansas. Much interest was shown in the initial meeting of the committee, as it was felt t hat 1t might bring an indication of the general line of policy toward <©uba and the other subjects beforeit. Except, how- ever, in the announcement of the Cuban ana Hawaiian sub-committees, no refer- ence was made to either of these subjects, as all of the time of the commitiee was given to the question of sealing in Bering Sea. On this question considerable dis- cussion occurred, which showed a general sentiment toward restricting American sealers only in case Great Britain adopts the same restrictions. Adams asked a number of questions in this line, his purpose being to show that the United States was placing limiutations on its own citizens, while other nations were free to conduct pouchin : operations at will, To this, however, the answer was made that the express purpose of the Government in securing this legislation was to taxe away the last ground of ob- jection which other naiions offered against the complete suspension of pelagic seal- ing. Although the extermination of the seal herd was not discussed at length, it was referred to as one of the measurcs which might have to be resorted to it a general agreement to stop pelagic sealing ‘was not reached A WEEK’S ENCAMPMENT.

WESSON, Miss., Dec. 9.—One of the most atrocious murders on record in the South was committed last night in Simp- son County, this State, twenty miles from here. Brown Smith, a farmer, and a son of ex-Representative Edward Smith, left kis family at his home in the country to 2o to town for shopping purposes, think- ing of no possible dange: for them. This morning when he returned he found his wife and five cnildren lying in their own blood and apparently all dead. An alarm was raised immediately and the | entire neighborhood turned out to hunt tor the perpeirator of the foul ana bloody crime. There being no telegraphic connections details of the murder come in slowly, but it is reported this evening that one of the ittle giris, supposed this morning to have | been dead, has revived enough to tell | what she knew of the occurrences. She said=he knows the man who committed the | deed; that it was a negro, and described | him. A posse isnow on the track of the | that he will be apprehended before morn- ing, and there can be buc little doubt of his meeting speedy justice when caught without waiting for the formality of a trial, itis learned that Mrs. Smith and the other four children are dead.

LOVERS SURMOUNT LEGAL OBSTACLES Eli Vandement Finally Weds Mrs. Morgan in Madera Coun'y. Refused a License at Fresno Under | the New Law Concerning i Divoress. Special Dispatch to THE CALL FRESNO, Dec. 9 —A few weeks ago Eii Vandement appled to the County Clerk for a liceuse to marry Mrs. Mary A. Mor- tioning Mr. Vandement, learned that his fiancee was divorced from her former husband last February, and a license was refused because she had not been divorced for a year, as required by the law passed by the last Legislature before a divorced person can marry again. Vandement had { won his suit and he determined not to be baffled so easily in his purpose to marry the lady. He instituted mandamus pro- ceedings in the Superior Court to compel the clerk to issue a license to him. The cese attracted much interest, and, after baving it under advisement for a few weeks, Judge Risley sustained the action ot the County Clerk. But now Vandement has succeeded in b=flling the court. He went over into Ma- dera County and obtained a license there. The marriage ceremony was performed by Justice Archie MecDonald, and Mrs, Morgan is now Mrs. Vandement. It appears that wnen Vandement ap- plied for the license in Madera the Clerk asked him no question as to whether or not either of the contracting parties had been divorced within a_year previous and no question was ra sed regarding the is. suance of the license. Mr. aud Mrs. Vandement are legally husband and wife, because a provision in ihe new law states thal marriages in violatlon of it are valid until nullified by a court of law. It is not likely that anyone will interest himself to bring suit in order that their marriage may be nuili- fied. DISPERSED BY THE POLICE. Young Czechs Make a Demonstration at Brunn, the Capital of Moravia.

One of the many who took a look at the remains to-day says that it is his belief that the remains are those of Augustine Grant, a sheep-owner whose home is at Bonsall, San Diego County. He says the man came to this sectjon about two weeks ago in search of a sheep range at Temescal, which is about five miles from where the remains were found.
