SEOUKTA11Y BAYAUD TALKS. 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. GENEHAL FOREIGN NEWS. AFFAIRS IN EOVPT. LONDON , May 4.

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.

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.

LEGISLATIVE : JUIGHAVAYMEN. \voiiK or sincAno's OANO. Special Telegram to The BKK. SruiNomu ) , 111 , , Juno 4 , The house com mittee on corporations has agreed to report 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 rectors know It that was done the cry would 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.
