Friday is the Day Upon Which Deliveries Are to Be Made—Making the Heller Dictator of Frice—Removal of Central Market From Liverpool to Chicago. The Wheat Deals. CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—Friday, which will witness the close of the great trade, bid3 fair to prove a memorable day in the trade. No great excitement Is expected in the wheat pit, but In oats a squeeze of shorts may occur. •‘The wheat deal of my son has brought to the farmers of the United States 10 or 15 cents more for their wheat than if he had not gone into it,” L. Z. Lelter said today, in talking of the great battle between Joseph Letter on the one side and the elevator com panies on the other. “My son has been the benefactor of the agricultural in dustries of the country to that ex tent. The seller is now dictating the prices of his product, not the pur chaser. Chicago make3 the market price of wheat, not Liverpool. And the local influences which have been so long for constantly lower prices have ceased to control Chicago markets.” The first purchase of wheat by Jo seph Loiter was made in July last at 64 cents. ' The price for real wheat, such as the farmer sells, has been 99 cents and $1 for several days. This makes a total advance since July of about 35 cents. Lciter, sr., gives the ordinary course of the markets credit for between 20 and 25 cents of the rise. The remainder he attributes to the substantial support given to prices by Letter, jr., during the last six months. It is believed that Mr. Lelter has been taring a trick on the trade in oats while’ everybody has been watch ing wheat. For weeks the oats pit has been practically deserted. Last week there was a disagreeable surprise to the men who had sold 6,000,000 bush els of oats for December delivery when they learned that no oats were Iwlng delivered. Then they awoke to the fact that In all the Chicago ele vators oats measured but 950,000 bush els of the contract grades. It was Wednesday when the discovery was made. The price of December oats was then 20% cents. On Friday the mar ket closed at 22% cents. A cent ad vance in oats is as good as 4 or 5 cents in wheat. It is too late to rush In a supply to meet the calls which will be made for the grain at the close of business on Friday. Thosr* who have not delivered the grain accord ing to contract will be called upon to settle at the closing prices. The sit uation has all the elements of a squeeze. THE INDIAN EXHIBIT. Senator Allen Calls Upon Ills Brethren to Help. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Senator Allen has addressed the fololwing let ter to all members of the upper branch of congress in relation to his bill ask ing an appropriation of $50,000 for a congress of Indian tribes at the Omaha exposition next year: "My Dear Senator: I take the lib erty of calling your attention to the bill introduced be me (S. 2,503) to provide for the holding of a congress of the Indian tribes of the United at the ctiy of Omaha, in the state rf Ne braska, in the year, A. D. 1898, and for other purposes. You will greatly oblidge me if you will read the bill and the report accompanying it, and if you can, consistently with your sense of public duty, do so, I would be pleased to have you support the measure. I beg to sugest. if the bill ihcul become a law.# this will be the first and prob aby tT(e last general exhibition of the savage tribes of America, and will be a source of great interest to many people who have never had an opor tunity of observinb our Indian tribes, their habits and customs. No doubt the educational features will be'of great advantage to thousands. Omaha is geographically well situated to hold such a congress at a minimum expense to the government. I believe the money will he well expended in au thorizing this congress. The auditor for the treasury depart ment, William E. Andrews, has "ap proved the requisition for the issuance of a warant to George A. Bartlett, dis bursing agent of the treasury depart ment, for $25,000, to be used in r'on struction of the government building at the Transmississippi exposition. This is the first money to be drawn on behalf of the government board and is understood to be for preliminary work in conjunction with pushing the build ing to an early completion. Sot t'mercier, member of the chamber •sf deputies, is dead. Comte Lemercier was born June 25, 1825. He was one of the seven depu ties from Chariente Inferieure, per sonally representing the first divis ion of Saintes. He was a descendant of the Lemercier who figured in France during the revolution. His father was for many years a member of the chamber. He received the dec oration of the Legion of Honor and published several volumes. EXPOSITION STAMPS Third Assistant Postmaster General Asks for Designs. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Third As sistant Postmaster General Merritt, who will have charge of the selection of subjects for the series of Trans Mississippi exposition stamps, which the postmaster general has officially announced will be issued to commem orate the exposition, has written a number of letters to leading artists of the country asking for suggestion? relative to designs. Three divisions are suggested in the letter: First—That they should contain portraits of distinguished people iden tified with the country. Second — Appropriate historical events should be represented as illus trated by existing paintings or en gravings. Third—Unique pictures of national scenery or of other things associated with the progress of the Trans-Mis slssippi region. General Merritt said that it would be his aim to give the exposition-a series of stamps that would be artis tic in character and would appeal to all classes of people and especially typical of the greater west. Incidental ly he suggested that possibly one of the stamps might contain the repro duction of the celebrated etching ■known as “Fremont Hoisting the Flag on the Rocky Mountains." The well known statue of Thomas H. Ben ton at St. Louis contains upon one side of the base a quotation from one of Mr. Benton’s celebrated speeches, wherein he outlines the possibilities of the country beyond the Mississippi, and it has been thought that the Ben ton statue would be an appropriate design for one of the stamps. The complex picture which hangs in tne west corridor of the capitol. known as “Westward ho!” emblematical of the hardships attendant upon the pioneer and suggested by Bishop Berkley^ quotation “Westward the course of empire takes its way,” was also men tioned by General Merritt. There is a picture in the rotunda of the capitol—De Soto’s discovery of t'ae Mississippi river—which might also be used upon one of the denominations. General Merritt said the department would endeavor to select subjects that had been painted or engraved and would not call upon artists to draw new scenes, which would necessitate a great amount of time, but on the contrary, would endeavor to get pho tographs, reproductions of famous paintings and personages, so that the engraving of dyes might be quickly done. The stamps will b° so^ewhs* of the same shape as the Columbian stamp, twice the size of the present postage stamp. They will be sought, after by collectors, and as there are nearly half a million of these peonle the government, instead of being of philanthropic, expects to realize handsomely upon the issue. Colum bian stamps today are selling at prices many times higher than was once paid for them and they are growing more valuable each year. It is the same way with the Centennial stamp, and it will also be true of the Trans-Mississippi stamp. Suggestions of scene oh stamps are invited by the potofflee department as it is General Merritt’s desire to give the exposition the handsomest set of stamps ever issued to commem orate an exposition. Klondike Kin^n Christman. NEW YORK. Dec. 27.—James I. Clements, the "Eldorado king of the Klondike,” who is at the Lafayette hotel, displayed one of the costliest if not the costliest Christmas treo which will be seen the world around. On this richly laden three were 750 $20 gold pieces and nuggats and pres ents worth $5,000. which brought the total up to $50,000. Last year the man who fixed up the Christmas tree dined on Christmas day in the Klon dike off a piece of cariboo meat, with the top of a tin lard bucket for a plate and his fingers serving the pur poses of knife and fork. The tree occupies space In the Hotel Lafay ette, and those fortunate or unfortu nate enough to be allowed to feast their eyes upon this prodigal display of wealth were granted permission by its owner to sift the $20 gold pieces through their fingers, to lift double handfuls of gold nuggets, and gu,ess how much they were worth, and every visitor carried away a lit tle nugget whether “the Eldorado king” had ever seen them before or not. Demand for Indemnity. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Secretary Shertaan was seen tonight regarding a story cabled him from Madrid to the effect that the United States had de manded of Spain $8,000,000 indemnity for American traders for damages sus tained through the rebellion in Cuba. The secretary stated that if any such demand had been made he had not heard of it. Judge Day, assistant secretary of state, said: “So far as I know there is absolutely nothing in the st'*ry. Some one may have attempted to foot up all the individual claims that have been filed, but even on that supposi tion I should not attempt to say their estimate was correct.” At the Spanish legation it was said that no information had been re ceived of any such action. The lega tion had heretofore been notified of all individual claims, but it was thought improbable that any claim in bulk would be made. A pension has been granted to the widow of Knud Knudsen, a soldier in the late war, the back pay of which aggregates over $4,000. Blown Oat of Hlg Cab. BRIDGEPORT, N J.. Dec. 27.— James Bower*.. an engineer on the West Jersey railroad, was blown out of his cab late last ni~ht between Husted and Palatine.

Mrs. Falk, of Omaha, died from burns inflicted by a lamp explosion. FOREIGN NEWS NOTES. The United States gunboat New port, with the members of the Nicara guan canal commission on board, has arrived at Greytown, Nicaragua. All the members are well and reported that the voyage had been pleasant and enjoyable. The Paris correspondent of the Ga zette telegraphed his paper a week ago that in spite of the protests of the Chinese, the British ship Daphne en tered the inner harbor at Port Arthur, apparently uncertain to ascertain if there were Russian ships there. Jimmy Barry, of Chicago, the ban tam weight champion, who wa3 ar rested in London in connection with the fight of December 6, which re sulted in the death of his antagonist, Croot, was released from custody, the public prosecutor refusing to take up the case. Charles Helmbold, son of the late Dr. Helmbold, of New York city, the well known patent medicine proprie tor, has been locked up in London and is awaiting trial at Brow street police station on a charge of threat ening to kill United States Consul General Osborne. A special dispatch from Brest says the French cruiser Jean Bart has been ordered to proceed immediately to China. The Jean Bert is rated as f. second-class cruiser. It mounts four six-inch quiclt-flring guns, six five inch guns, fourteen two and five tenths-inch guns and has nine guns of smaller caliber. Its crew numbers 332. men. Several thousand Arabs who have been making a demontration outside the gates of Tripoli have been sur rounded by Turkish troops. The shops of the city are closed and the Arab agitation against the government is increasing. There were disturbances on December 17 at Armus, near here. All the houses inhabited by Hebrews were pillaged. Thirty of the rioters were arrested by the troops. II Sorriere Della Isolla tells a shocking story of ill treatment of Princess D1 Carini, who is separated from her husband. It appears that, with her blind daughter she has been shut up for the past five years by her trustee and has only just succeeded in sending a letter to the police, reveal ing the fact of her imprisonment. The police have liberated the princess anti the trustee has been arrested. The Cubans in New York say of the battle at Yacta Ford that the Cuban loss was 106 killed and about 300 wounded. General Rabis men found 200 Spanish dead, and General Aidave said his wounded numbered 200. The Cubans believe they inflicted much more damage; that the Spanish troops carried away many of t heir dead and minimized the number of wounded, reporting only one-fourth. The funeral of William Terries, the actor who was stabbed to death in London by a super named Prince, took, place at Brompton cemetery, an im mense crowd of people being present. The principal mourners were the two sons of the deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Hicks (the latter Eleine Ter riss, daughter of the murdered man). Messrs. Gatti, Henry Irving, Charles Wyndham and George Grossmith. The floral tributes were very numerous. According to a special dispatch from Shanghai the British squadron will make a demonstration at Chee Foo, on the north coast of the Chan Tung promontory, as a warning, it is supposed, that Great Britain intends to oppose the division of China with out being consulted. It is reported' there that Russia has offered China a loan to pay off the indemnity of the war with Japan, and it is believed, says the dispatch, that Japan and England are acting in concert to preserve China from disintegration, favoring the idea of a protectorate over Central China, with a capital at Nan King. A German-Chinese commission has been arranged, according to a dis patch from Shanghai to the Daily Mail, to settle the boundaries of the occupied district at Kiao Chau, and it is evident, therefore, that the occupa tion will be permanent. The same dispatch says it is rumored in Shang hai that the British intend to occupy Tallen, south of Port Arthur. The Dally Mail’s correspondent at Tokio says there is no excitement there over the news from Port Arthur. The press is calm and the public indifferent. It is rumored, also, the dispatch alleges, that a large Rusisan military force Is coming over from Siberia.
