WASHINGTON , Jane -I. Naval ofllcera who
were on the recent expedition says the people
of Panama are anxious that the United States
should make Its temporary possession of
Panama permanent. They said that under

ful condition for any length of time.
The commlsloner of pensions has stricken
off the Hit of pensions the names of about two
hundred residents of the District of Columbia ,
found to bn not entitled to pensions either bo-
causa they had recovered from their disabili
ties or were not dependent upon the govern
ment.
The Colombian minister says the presence
in Now York of Honor Helgum Is not for the
, . ) purpose of ascertaining lha sentiments of the
United States concerning a proposition for
making Panama a neutral state. Helguin ,
ho sayi , Is on his way to Europe , and has no
buiiness whatever with this government ,
Eleven treasury watchmen have been noti
fied that their services would not bo required
after the 10th inst.
Admiral Jouott , In his official report to the
navy department of his recent trip to Cartha-
geua for the purpose of taking n number of
commissioners in order to make , if possible , a
peaceful settlement with the revolutionists ,
sajs that stcknosi among the American forces
has increased rapidly. Yellow fever now
seems liable to became epidemic at any time ,
as there have been a number of fatal cises
among the marines. He WAS informed by a
board of surgeons , appointed to investi
gate the natter , that there were
three vessels in the harbor of Colon. A num
ber of CMOS of yellow fever nnd disease were
also prevalent in the cities of Anpinwall and
Panama ,
In regard to the political condition of the
isthmus ho says : ' I am happy to state that
matters seem to bo entirely settled , and the
Isthmus now has a better and stronger gov
ernment than it has had for many years ; and
this promises to bo permanent. "
The Columbians , the admiral lurther says ,
now have a garrison along the line of transit ,
nod they have an ample force to protect and
fortify it. They have relieved the American
forces of all duties on the shore except of
guarding trains and they wore to assume that
duty on the 26th. "Tho Columbian author
ities , " the admiral concludes , "seem very
anxious to assume all the duties of protecting
transit and foreign property. "
Under r'nto of May 11 the American secre
tary of legation at Berlin informed the de-
of state that on that date Bismarck
Sartment in the course of a discussion of the

had been arrived at by the German and Span
ish governments pursuant to a provision fix
ing the duty rate for Spanish rye of one mark
per 100 kilograms had been eliminated from
V the treaty of 1883. The effect of this agree
ment will be to subject American rye to the
advanced rate of three marks per 100 kilo
grams , which will bo the uniform rate of all
countries ,

I do not believe it practicable to do anythioi
more at tills time than has been done to civ

Mexico from the marairlliu Indians , It i
not posiible to actually guard all the frontio

many times larger than the United State

done. In Arizona and New Mexico settler
have escaped and have taken refuge at th
military poets and the large settlements ,
understand that Gen. Crook and Co
Brady have all the troips the
can use In puriuit of the Indiana , but
will send more if they can ujo them , In m
opinion tlio only way to protect the eottere
settlers from marauding Indians , Is to kee

parmlt them to roam all over a large rotorva

that tbe sheet men compose only 10 per cant

HIS IDEAL AMKIUCAN.
Sr , Louis , Mo. , Juno 4. A special from
Columbia , Mo , , says that Secretary Bayard ,
accompanied byn carload of lessor democratic
trhts fron. St. Louis , to participate In the
omnienccmont exercises of the state unl-
orslty , arrived to-day. A crowd of citizens
ict the gentlemen at the station and n pro *
ssslon , headed by Governor Marmaduko and
thera on horseback , started immediately for
ho univcrilty amidst the waving of flags and
ring of cannon. The commencement oxer-
ses occupied until noon , when the original
larble tablet , on which It inecribad the mem-
irablo epitaph of Thomas Jefferson , and
thich wits proientod to tbo university by tha
mlrsof Jefferson , was unveiled , and Senator
rcst delivered a long and elaborate oration on
eflorson. Calls were then made for Bayard.
The secretary came forward , and after pro-
jnpod applause , said : ' 'I desire , with much
umllity and some hesitation , to point out , if I
lay , tha true relations of Jefferson and Alex-
, nder Himilton. I have , perhaps , smo he-
oditary right to speak ot this. There is a
orrospondonco to-day in my possession to
how that to the influence of no man in the
Jnited States was the election of Jeffercon to
ho presidency more due than to the personal
ounsels and Influoncs of Hamilton , The
lection of 1800 left the vote of the electoral
allege n tie. It finally became the duty of
he bouse of representatives to elect the presi-
ent of the United States. The two highest
mdldates were Thomas JtiTerson and Aaron
3urr the one now a synonym of patriotism
he other of treachery , but not so at that day
Ml that time the fate of the country hung
.Imost upon a thread. A few poor and
rokon states lay along the Atlantic. Thereat
roat west wai a thing almost unknown ,
loans of communication torcoly existed ,
) pportunilies of intecourso there _ were none ,
[ hero wan no feeling of consolidation. Noth-
ng but dissolution scorned nt hand. Then
came the letters , that I have held in my hand
iiid read , from Thomas JefTersin to the
hen representative from Delaware , whom I
iiava the honor to call my grandfather ,
He held the vote of that state and it counted
is much in the ballot as Now York or of Yir-
jinia. This one man , and ho a member of
.ho federal party , and an opponent , pollti-
: ally , of Thomas Jefferson hold that vote in
lis hand. He took counsel _ with Alexander
Hamilton. Whit counsel did he receive ? and
ivhat did he obey ? It was the counsel that
. \\o \ country was greater than the party ; it
ivas the coensel that the union was
> vorth preserving. The federalist from
Delaware , Instructed by Alexander Hamilton ,
cast his vote for Thomas Jefferson , the arch-
ippouent of the federal party. Therefore
, vhcn we look to the past for lessons and true
iletory let us not fail to respect the dignity of
; he men ; of 7 that day. They did differ in
: ounsel , they dU differ in theory , but they
did not differ in the one great endeavor for
which all governments were intended
the happinesf , tbo advancement and the
welfare of human speuics. Therefore , while
wo mty and ought to draw fearlessly the truth
from every lesson in the past and look at its
teachings unflinchingly , let us also remember
with thankfulness and pride that in this
American nation there lingers something
stronger than party that overrides personal
ambition , that where a dread cruia approaches
preaches , teaches the American man to put
beneath his feet unworthy and small thoughts
and to rise to the dignity of bis country's de.
minds.
'The spirit that existed in 1800 showed it-
elf in 1870 There was a time when more
; han one half of this people felt they had been
wronged in the results of an election. But be
tween them and the objects of their wrath ,
arose the form of their country ; and if a hand
was raised to strike the form of their country
"orbadoit , and they sacrificed party demands to
.he existence of this union and to the pro
gress of the people of the United States
Whatever may bo the difference between
men's opinions , whatever may be the differ
ences between men's personal ambitions , the
American people nave recognized and they
do recognise that there is a point bsyond
which they cannot go , and that point ie
national safety. That is the
work which I ttust all education
n this country will teach UE
o observe. Our education in all its form is
limply to end in making us higher , bettor ' ,
more self-subordinate , to teach us th'at we
are the humble instruments in the advance'
ment not of mere selfishness , but of something
far beyond it tbe glory and welfare of oui
entire country. "
Secretary Bayard closed amid tha most
iioirty npplauso.

Special Telegram to The BEE.
CHICAGO , III , Juno 4. There was an nn-
imitcd number of bull rumors on the floor of
ho 'change to-day an affecting the wheat sit
uation , and a : a consequence there was a
juoyancy exhibited in the market such as haslet
lot been previously witnessed In a number of
weeks , and in sharp contrast with the do-
iression which prevailed at the begining of
he present week. Yesterday afternoon the
market wan sold down upon rumors that chol-
ra had appeared in Franco , the July option
ouching 8Ggc. The denial of this and tbo nd-
ent of very gloomy ctop reports this morn-
tig set the lido strongly In the other diroo-
ion , and prices rose sharply and most contin-
lously closing within a fraction of tlio highest
Igures of the day. The boars fought the nd-
once very steadily but when the market had nd-
aiiccd a point and remained firm they were
vertakon by a panic and covered freely dttr-
ng the remainder of tbo cosiion. The market
lused to-night nearly 4 cents above the bot-
om prices current last Monday. The rovul-
ion has been so great as to disconcert the
, vorage trader on the bear side of the market ,
3 the change in temper was against preced-
nt in view of the fact that no now facts con-
ermng crops have been developed beyond.
hose generally recognized by traders for sov-
rnl weeks. It Is explained , however , that
ho outlook for growing crops has lately bo-
ome so dubious that a strong bull
larty has finally came Into the market In the
ull belief that higher prices will necessarily
irevail as ths result of n shortage inAmoricau
ind European crop ? . The strongest feature
a to-day's trading was tha statement that the
Tune report would thow that Kansas would
not raise a crop to exceed 13,000,000 bushela
against 40,000,000 bushels last year , and it
was freely predicted thnt the government's
eport for June would di'c'oao a dec-ease of
wonty to thirty millions in the probable
winter wheat yield. The wheat on ocean pas-
age also showed a decrease of 1,000COO
) uhols , and tbo statement was made that the
hjpments of wheat from the northwest to the
> rimary receiving points had dropped off very
argoly , farmers holding for higher prices.
Che market rapidly advanced from
ie opening to a point 2jc over
ho highest figures of yesterday ,
iased off Jc , advanced c , fluctuated , sold off
c and finally closed on tbe regular board 2Je
> ver yesterday. On the afternoon board the
rail feeling was rampant , prkes advancing
; @gc and closing at the outside. ,

ure with wheat , but was not as relatively
strong. It closed § c over yetterday.

CATTLE.
Trading was active with a slight upturn of
choice handy llttlo steers. Big cattle in a
general way were not as active as light sorts
loted bbove , yet were making equally as
high pricsa as at any tlmo. The demand con-
cantratod on smaller sorts , and as is usual in
such instances they sold more advantageously
; han the big ones. Stillors were in large num
bers and selling at $5.0005.55 , tailings sell-
'ng down to 84.90. Corn-fid rangers were in
'air supply and making $5 00@5 CO ; corn-fed

oad of grass Texans on sale ,
Thirteen loads direct from New Mexico
are expected to-morrow. Cow stock and can
ning stock are steady. Low grade butchers'
stock is plentiful and rather easier. Stpckera
and feeders are scarce , and business is limited
on that account. The average eupply would
sell higher than last week. A bunch of choice
selected sold as hich as $4 00 this morning ;

ICansai Has But Little Wheat.
TovnKA , Kan , , Juno 4. Mr. William Simr ,
secretary of the state board of agriculture ,
has furnished the Associated press with the
following statement concerning wheat , whicl
was only concluded this morning , The con
dition of other crops will be furnished later
"The injury to the wheat crop from the se
verity of the winter , Insect depredations and
other causes is now found to bo much Bt ° atei
than the appearanca Indicated one month ago ,
Many fields , which at the date of our last re
port promised a fair yield , now show more
cheat than wheat , and will yet be ploughed
up. Of the 1,013,208 acres sown to wlntei
wheat In the state in the fall ol
1884 , at least 40 per cent has been
abandoned and tha ground seeded to the
spring crop. The work of destruction still
continues , The present outlook clearly indl
catos that the wheat harvest will prove tlu
most disastrous failure iu the state , and war.
rants the belief that the total production will
ba reduced to seed ind bread within the stati
during the year. Information received nt thii
office show * a condition of six per cent com
pared with one year ago a loss of twenty-
three per cent from the condition of April 30
I therefore estimate that the product of wlntei
wheat in the state this year cannot oxcooc
12,000,000 bushels-sllghtly more than twenty
five per cent of the yield of last year and tin
yield for five years past.

favorably on n bill to repeal the chatter of tbo
Chicago board of trade. When President
Ulako was Informed of the action of tbo
committee ho was considerably surpriicd ,
' 'It ctnnot bo possible , " ho said , "that the
legislature will concur in any such action. It
is too prcpoietrous for belief. "
' You know that such a bul had been
introduced ! "
"Yes , wo wore aware of It. "
"Did you send uny committee to fight it ? "
"No. The question was mooted but the di

Immediately Ita raised that wo had sent men
with money down there , I think the whole
thing came from the friends of bucket shops
who wish to injure in. If the general public
know tur methods I am positive they- would
not condemn them , because we do a legitimate
businons and they would upholdtis in our fight
on the bucket fhops , whoso members never
handle a bushel of grain. 1 can readily im
agine however , that some legislators would
vote for the repeal of our charter under a
misconception , but I think that n single ex
planation from such members as understood
us would soon convince thorn that we do a
legitimate business. "
"Do you think the directors will now fight
the measure } "
"I can hardly say whether they will or not ,
for really there are some of our members who
are in favor of doing away with the charter.
for the reason that under it wo can only hold
§ 200,000 worth of private property. If we
ran the board as a private business wo could
old any amount we chose. I am in favor ,
orfionally , however , of working under a char-
er. I cannot tell , of course , what the Irgis-
turo will do , for the ways cf legislators are
ast finding out , "
Cyrus II. Adams said : "I know there wai
uch a bill belncc cinsidered , but paid no at-
intiontolt. It seems positively absurd for
te legislature to interfere with ommerc'al '
rganizations. Such action wluld bo a corn-
nentary on the intelligence of our Illinois
pgislotors. The board of trade is of more
alue to the people of the northwest than all
10 legislatures in that section. "
