CIIICACJO , June 14. [ Special Telegram to
tlio BKK.J The Juno wheat deal collapsed
to-day. The enormous load proved to bo
nioro than the clique could stund up under.
There was a conference of tlio principals
nnd agents last nlirht , at which It was re
solved to abandon thu deal , Ills said. In any
event thu deal was abandoned and tlio result
way a panic lu the market to-day. Juno
wnp.it broke about 19c anil July nearly lOc
before 1 o'clock. There was a scene of In
describable excitement on 'Change all day.
Nothlni ; like It was ever witnessed on tlio
board of trade. Men who have grown gray
lu the business say that the excitement ran
higher than on th culmination of any of
the ereat cortu rs that have been attempted
In the past The climax was reached at
12:30 : , when Sectetary Stone announced from
the gallery the failure of M. Rosenfeld &
Co. July broke from around 78cto74o In
loss than two minutes , and the ofllolal
quotations do not mark within 2c of the
limit at which many trades wore made. The
names of all tlio other clique houses were
on everybody's lips. The universal hope was
expressed that they had weathered the ter-
illlc storm , ana In the same breath the fear
was voiced that they intent not keep their
feet. The collapse was so complete , the rout
RO utter that there was absolutely
no way of Hndlng out how matters
stood while the stampede was In
progress. The lirst Item In the list of sensa
tional event ? tint crowded fast and thick
upon each other through the day was the an
nouncement that lOJ. " > cars of wheat had ar
rived yesterday nd that 000 were expected
to-day. Then cainu storles"of a meeting of
the clique brokers and the Cincinnati princi
pals. This was followed by the announce
ment by Rosonfeld that It was the purpose of
the clique to let the market down as low as
the crowd would sell It , "In order to get lu on
lower range of values. " Still there were few
who really thought this meant an abandon
ment of the deal , but wiser or luckier ones
acted upon thu theory that It was thu begin
ning of the end. The panic may bo said to
have commenced with the tap of the bell.
Juno broke sharply from 02 > .fc to KiMc , but
reacted sharply to Ulc , then settled back to b'Jc ,
and for a while the price bobbed spasmodic
ally between 88c and i)0c. ) with a feeble at
tempt being made by the clique brokers to
protect the market. The soul had departed
from the deal , however , and nothing but the
empty shell remained tu confront the crowd.
While Juno was going through this exper
ience , July was being subjected to an ordeal
scarcely less trylnir. From ssjsfc at the open
ing , tlio market declined to SO ) $ c. A rebound
carried It upward to trie.
From 0o : : ; to UliO : a. m.tho excitement was
Intense1 , but It was nothing compaied to what
occurred Immediately thereafter. It was as
though a cyclone had struck the pit , and the
market talrly boiled. The wheat pit was
tilled with a crush of steaming , screaming
men. There was no haggling over tractions
or cents. Everybody wno had anything to
soil sold it for what they could get , and buyIng -
Ing , orders wcie executed like liuhtulug.
Margins were devoured and swept out of
eight In the twinkling of an eye. It was
every tellow for himself and the devil take
the hlndermost. Up In the olliccs the clerks
were making out margin calls , and nimble-
footed messengers wore racing from door to
door with demands for cosh. Never In the
lilbtory of tlio board ot trade has there been
such an extraordinary call tor margins as
was witnessed to-day. The bull houses were
literally overwhelmed and no attempt was
made to keep up with the procession. Juno
wheat sold ( town to TO c , and trades { @lo
below ttio olllcial record weio reported. July
broke to.74c , and August sold oft from 70c to
70c. Theie was a decline of 2e lu Septem
ber. The mere statement that cash wheat
declined 1'Jcln three home , and that July hud
lost ) % In the same length of time , Is
a very tame way of expressing the facts.
Nevertheless , this decline represents an
actual destruction ot nearly S v'jOO.oou in the
value of cash \wicat that Is now here in store
and on track , It icprcscnts thu transfer ol
anywhere from 33,000,000 to SlO.OuO.OOO In
prolltH on open trades In June and July from
bull to boar accounts on the books of mem
bers of the board of trade. Individual for
tunes were wrecked and other tortunea
reared In an hour. 11 would probably be nc
exaggeration to state that the volume ol
busmen in the wheat pit aggregated 100 , .
000,000 bushels. It might have been muct ;
nbovo that figure. The outside marKets
broke badly , thobhrlnkage ranging from ! > (
to 4e. Thn toroiKii markets were also weak
and lower. Late futures in the market onlj
sulVerod a moderate shrinkage.
Un the atiernoon boaid there was for t
Whiten renewal ot the most exciting scene-
of the day. When the secretary made his
way to the gallery with his gavel , it was
known at once that failures would bo an
nounced. Following his rapping Secretan
Stone announced tno failure ot llnmlil A
Urine and K.V. . Bailey & Co. The an
nouiiceiuem of the liibt failure produced n
decided sensation , us llumlll & lliine Imi
been a nt.uincn house and In good repute
George C. Urine Is a director. Thu an
nouneement of the failure ot K.V. . Hallcy A
Co. Immediately followed. Then came tin
most Important anununccmeut of tlio day
It was f Kim C. J. Keishaw < te Co. , and was a :
follows :
" ( ientleuuui Wehavo assurances of ampli
funds to meet all calls upon us by to-morrov
morning , and request that no trades with u
be closed on ! , .Respectfully ,
C. J. KKISSHAW & Co. "
A yell of delight followed this announce
menu At Uosenteld's ollleo this afteruooi
Manager Frank Johnson was In charge am
t > ald thu clique had violated all of Its verbal
written ana telegraphic promises to put u
more margins to-day. "We saw them li
this city yesterday personally and the
promised faithfully that money would h <
forthcoming today.Ve received tel <
graphic advices to the same effect nearl ;
every ten minutes this forenoon , but final !
we found that the money had not been d <
posited aud decided that , lu order to tren
all alike and hud out where we stood , w
had better order the trades closed out. S
the announcement was accordingly made o
'change by tlio secretary. We have paid fo
10,000,000 bushels of wheat , but the attitud
of the directors of the board , In declurln
every inch of available storage loom In tli
rlty regular , made it appear that lu time w
would bo compelled to take and pay ft
almost tlio on tlio crop. There was talk u
thn board to-day that several more war
houses would be made regular , and It wi
even the intention to turn the cxposltlu
building Into a warehouse If necessary. U
were afraid to take any more wheat , but u
will pay dollar tor dollar on allot our debts ,
KosunleUI it Co.'s liabilities are an ui
known quantity , Jlo had on his books ,
was said at his olhce , about 5,000,000 buslie
Of July Vtheat , on which there Is a profit
sellers now varying from 5 to 15 cents , Tl
liabilities would amount to 81,500,000 if the
were no margins up , but the Impression
that the firm has up about 31,000,000 lu ma
gins.
gins.At 1 o'clock a crowd of a hundred or mo
had gathered in front of M. Itosenfeld
Co , ' * oillce , and were peering curious
thiough the pluto glass windows Into tl
vacant front part of thu office and reading i
the blackboard the figures which marked
fall ot UOc a bushel in wheat aud closed I
firm's doors. Inside , members of thu Hi
were In consultation In their private Glut
while at the only unlocked door flood
flood In line before the little grated window
In the partition which divides the ofllco from
the email space near the door set apart from
outsiders. A stream of clerks was flowing
Into the oillce and showering at the clerk at
the window printed slips which are used for
calling margins on traders who are on the
wrong side of the market.
The panic in wheat , combined with the
colleo collapse and lower range In stocks ,
has exerted souie Influence on tlio money
market , to tlio extent that applications for
loans and discounts are now closely scanned
and more frequently rejected , while rates
arc quoted as before at 0g7 ( per cent. The
Chicago bank clearings to-day were S10-
What effect will the collapse In wheat
have uuon the banks'.1" was asfted of L. J.
Gage , vice president of the First National
bank.
"No serious clfcct , " was the reply. "Wo
have some loans out on w hcnt , but they were
made with very wide and safe maruln .so wo
shall nulTor no loss at all. Wo can't get
piurlied , and I think that such Is the case
with every bunk that I know has anything to
do with wheat or com. "
J. I { . Walsh , of the Chicago National
bank , uttered the same sentiments.
"won't this going bioko of the wheat
clique make money scirco-too scarce for
business to lie carried on ? "
"Not at all. The only clfect will h to re
lease a lot of money that has been tied up In
wheat. I don't know of any banks that have
not Insisted unon a very wide margin on
wheat loans. It was well understood ut the
time that such huge pilccs were anticipated
and could not be maintained any length of
time , consequently we made ourseUes se
cure. Oh , wo are comfortable. "
The RfTect in Milwaukee.
MIUVATJKLE , Juno 14. The sudden drop
In wheat at all the great wheat editors caused
Intenscexciteuicnton 'Change to-day. Three
failures nioro weroannounced to-dy KranK
Wilson , Louis Wlldoand C. WFIelUhelm
& Co. , the latter being'tho Milwaukee branch
of C. J. Keriihaw & Co. , ol Chicago. Hooker ,
Crittenden & Co. closed out all the trades.
Their failure depends on the ability of the
Kershaw crowd to ment their obligations.
Such ficencs of wild excitement as were
witnessed on 'change to-day have never
been known here. When the break came
everybody frantically tried to sell wheat and
nobody wanted to buy. In u blimt tluio July
wheat had bold off from 81c to TT c , while
September dropped from 7Jc to 75 c. Shortly
before noon Hill , FlorUhelus Ac Co. were
compelled to announce their suspension.
They were buying for Kershaw & Co. , of
Chicago , and weru disappointed In not re
ceiving the remittances expected Irom Ker
shaw , and being also pressed by other houses ,
to whom they were indebted , yielded to the
pressure. Their suspension dragged down
Hooker , Crlttouden & Co. and Frank Wil
son , each of wlunii , It Is understood ,
called for margins , falling to get which
they were also compelled to give up.
Hill Flertzhelm it Co. claim the money
needed by them will bo forthcoming to-
moirow' In which event Hooker. Crittenden
& Co. aud Frank Wilson will also resume.
John Wilde. , a broker , announced his In
ability to meet matgins this afternoon. It Is
bclie\cd that other houses will find thorn-
solves in deep water to-morrow. Much
money has been lost here In small amounts
that in the aggregate represent a largo sum.
The boar element Is the strongest on the
local board , but that crowd Is not feeling
very jubilant , having been whipsawcd in the
deal. The bull crowd had exacted differ
ences all along the Hue of advance , and now
that the time has como to make up the differ
ences the other way Is unable to meet them , so
that the peculiar spectacle Is presented hereof
of both bulls and bears being singed at the
same time. Frank Wilson received a dis
patch to-night , slating that Korshaw it Co.
would meet their obligations to-morrow.
The Cincinnati GItqno.
CINCINNATI , Juno If. The vorv general
impression that Cincinnati furnished a largo
part of the clique which has boon charged
with managing the Chicago wheat deal' '
turned attention In this direction to-day
when the panic In wheat In Chicago devel
oped. Very strangely the Cincinnati mem
bers of tti clique vanish from all attempts to
locate them. J. W. Wilshlre. who has been
publicly named as one of the mysterious
members , flatly declared when asked
lor Information as to the cause of the
trouble that he know nothing about
U. Others who were suspected of being in
the deal were equally reserved. One of the
leading men of the supposed clique said he
did not hellnve the Cincinnati men wore In
at all ; that it was made up of operators In
California and Cleveland. Whatever the
truth m y be , there Is no sign of any suflor-
Ing here.

ST. Louis , Juno 14. Thcro was a good dea
of excitement on 'change to-day over thi
great tumble of the price ot wheat In Chicago
especially as the crowd have been aud ar
still very bcarlsn , and have been playing th
short side both here and In Chicago. As th
break progressed in Chicago , very heavy ol
fcrlngs were made hero , but there was als
active buying bv shorts. The decline , there
fore , was not great , belnz less than 2c , with
slight recovery at the close. Most of th
traders here , being bears , are credited witl
making profits out of the break.

Sir Henry Alfred Tlchborno and his succes
sion to the ancestral estates will bo cele
brated In line style In Hampshire , England.
In an interview In the Herald , Arthur Orton.
the famous claimant , referring to the act of
parliament continuing the birthright title to
the estates to the young baronet , said : "That
act of parliament Isn't worth a piece of paper ,
It was smucglcd through the house of com
mons In 1874 , when only nlno members were
iiiescnt Instead of a quorum of forty. K\ory-
body , Including the gou-rnniont officials ,
know that It Is illegal , When 1 return to
KiiL'land 1 shall take stops to have the act an
nulled , because It Is Illegal. Itconllrms the
verdict of the jury against me , grants new
titles to a boy to the whole estates , and em
powers trustees to pay of ! nil debts Incurred
by me In the trials , and these debts hav < % I
believe , been so paid. Now , If I am an Ini-
poster , as my enemies claim , why did they
pay my debts In that fashion out of the Tich-
borne estatel1"
"About two months azo , " said Orton , "I
made application through mv attorney In
Kuglaud for an Injunction , or asked him
rather to seek on restraining thn court of
chancery from paying over between one hun
dred thousand and two hundred thousand
pounds to my nephews , but the lawyer de
lated making an application until It was too
late. I suppose thn money has already been
paid. Some time this year I am going over
to England to seek a reopening of the case.
My lirst cfTort will be to get the act of parlia
ment repealed. "
Charles Ogden Ferrys , alias Curtis , who is
known as the California claimant , is now
serving a .sentence In the Erie county peni
tentiary for fraudulently obtaining a pension
from the government. To the Herald's Buf
falo correspondent he said yesterday : " 1
last saw Sir Henry at Fred Tichborne's. In
England last summer. I then told nlm that
one-half of the estates were held under a
forged will , and that 1 had come to tell him
what I knew about It , 80 that ho might get
the whole estate. I telt all rizlit towards my
young nephew. 1 would not give ten cents
to get the estates back Into the hands of thu

I could to help him to itet the pioperty , but
In San Francisco there Is a lawyer named

was very much Interested. He took into his
confidence another celebrated attorney by
the name of W. II. L. Barnes. When Rus
sell , of the London Times , and the Duke of
Sunderl.ind came on there , he sold the copy
of my story to thn Times and gave my photo
graph to the duke. He made more money at
my expense by selling my narrative to the
Now York Herald and the consolidated
press of the Pacilic slope. That man Orton
Is the blagest fraud I ever saw. I wanted to
see the Tlchborno estates go to the young
baronet because the boy cannot llvo forever
and as ho will never have any issues the
whole property must go to my five children
who arc now hale nnd hearty at SanDlego ,

Steero having shown light , and they having
no evidence to go to court on , L'obgrove had

Opposcd to "Yankee" Energy.
CITY OP MEXICO ( via Galveston ) , June 14.
The recent action of the government in
granting Important concenstons for coloniza
tion aud public Improvement to Americans
and American companies is the pretext for
an assault on the administration by the
organs of the church party. The National ,
a prominent opposition journal , will in a
leading article to-uiorrow take a strong stand
against the Diaz administration for granting
concchslons to Americans. "If foreigners
are needed , " says the writer , "let Europeans
bo welcomed : let Spaniards , Frenchmen ,
English and Germans como. but not Ameri
cans. To admit thu Yankee means Yankee
absorption , the disappearance ot tiie Mexican
lace In misery , and an Increase In the num

Special to the llr.i : . ! The attention of
every thtnklnc man In Europe to-day Is fo-
cus'od on the larynx of thu crown prluco of
Gerimuy. If the imperial larynx bo affected
with cancer death Is only a question of time.
The shock caused by flu- death of the heir-
apparent would probably kill the agrd kaiser
also. In that ca o the chances are that within
a few mouths there would bo a Eutopcan
war.
A sr.roxi ) FiiKinnuri ; TUP. OIUIAT.
Prince William , thu oldest son of the crown
prince , is a liery , dashing young hussar ,
who , besides the violent passions of the
Hohen/-IIollern youth , has In him the mak
ing of a second Frederick the ( Ircat. Ho Is a
thorough soldier , has his spurs yet to win , Is
an exponent ot the views of the German
military party and Is firmly convinced of the
wisdom , from a strictly military point ot
view , of attacking Franco as soon and sud
denly as possible. Thus thn Immediate fu
ture of Kurope depends on the Imperial
larynx.Ull.
Ull. WAONf.U THINKS HIM OOOMKD.
" 1 am alrald ho Is a dead man , " said Dr.
Clinton Wagner , medical superintendent ot
the Now York medical throat hospital , with
whom 1 had just been discussing the crown
prince's chance ot recovery at the Hotel Con
tinental. Dr. Wagner has tor years made a
specialty of throat diseases. Ho studied in
Germany under Prof. Vlrchow , and was
for several years assistant of Dr. Mackenzlit
In the London hospital tor throat diseases.
MALHINANr CANCKHOUS OllOWTIt.
"lla\e you read the reports published In
London , Berlin and Paris of the disease
from which the crown prince is suffering ,
doctor ? " 1 asked.
"Yes , " he replied , "I have , and they show
that the crown prince's malady Is nothing
less than cancer of the larnvx. "
"Is the growth In the throat benign or
malignant ? "
"Unquestionably malignant" was the 10-
ply."What
"What makes you thl'ik so , doctor ? "
"Tho reports state , " said Dr. Wanner ,
"that Dr. Macken/lo'.s examination of the
prince's throat on June 8 shows that the
growth had increased in sl/e since his former
examination a foitnlght earlier ; also
that the patient sutTercd from
pain from difficulty In swallowing.
There Is alsoaswelllug of the neckpain upon
prcssine , and engoigement of the cervical
gangleo. From the above facts 1 build my
diagnosis and these are all characteristic of
malignant or cancerous growth. Had the
growth been benign.there would have been
on the other hand , a shrinkage , or a trophy , '
after a portion had been removed by the for
ceps. There would also have been an ab enco
of pain and swelling of the glands * HO I am
convinced that the growth Is malignant or
cancerous. This cancerous growth , more
over , most invariably recurs , no mutter what
measures may be taken for Its relief. "
TiniKfl TO HIIIK ITS THUK NATURE.
"But Prof. Vlrchow pronounces it to bo
benign , doctor , " I remarked.
"In some cases , " said the doctor , "it Is al
most Impossible to determine the true char
acter of a laryngeal tumor by the microscope.
It should also ho remembered that the promi
nent position of the patient , and the
grave political positions of the crisis ,
render It almost Impossible for any
German scientific mau to give a frank ,
candid opinion of the case. Besides , Prof.
Virchow's silence as to that portion of the
growth last removed by Dr. Mackenzie is
very significant , in cases like that ot the
crown prince the portion removed by the
forceps may be taken from the upper surfana
and show only benign constituents , whlM
the base , if it could be reached , would Indi
cate the true malignancy of the growth. " . ;
TWO ClIANCi : * FOK IIKI.IKF.
"Then you don't think the crown prluco
has much chance of recovery ? " 1 asked.
" 1 think the prognosis very unlavorable "
"What could bo tried to give the patient a
chance of life ? "
" 'iliero are but two possible operations ,
The first namely , the removal ot the entlrd
larynx is precluded by the enlargement oC <
the clavlcal glands. The .second Is tracheo
tomy , or tlio opening of the larynx proper.
If this operation were performed the growtli
would be entirely removed and a thorough
application of the galvano cautery to tha
parts affected might prevent a recurrence.
Tracheotomy will piobably bo necessary
soon In any case. "
' You am personally acquainted with Dri
Mackon/lo ? " I suggested.
"i was some years ago his assistant in his
hospital , " said Dr. Wagner. "I consider
him the most .skillful throit specialist In the
world. Tlio patient Is fortunate in having
secured his services. "
CANNOT I.IVn I.ONO.
"How long do patients wllh cancer of tie
larvnx generally live ? "
"If , " replied the doctor , "tracheotomy '
performed , and a large convula Is Inserted ,
assuming that the patient Is able to swallow
nourishment freely , life mav bo prolonged
from three to twelve months. If the malady
Is cancerous , as the reports show , t
think his life Is a question of
a few mouths. Klllier of tha
above operations the removal of the larynx
or tracheotomy would permanently destroy
the voice and tender the patient unlit for
public duties. No one operated on for cancer
of the larynx has e\er lived long. "
MACKKNZIH THINKS I > IFKKIIKNT.
The Pall Mall Garotte prints an Interview
with Dr. Mackenzie In which the latter ad
heres to the opinion that the swelling in the
throat of the German crown prince 1 $ Mmply
a warty growth. The doctor authorizes tha
announcement that unless some change oc
curs the prince will bo absolutely restated tea
good health.
