C. H. Canby, President of the
Chicago -Board of Trade.
C. H. Canby, president of the Chi
cago board of trade, was a voluntary
witness beore the Inquiry instituted
by the attorney general of New York
Into the rise in the price of-bread
and wheat : He Insisted that there
was no such thing as a monopoly of
wheat, and that the high prices were
'caused merely- by: the European de
mand. '' :-r
This is" what Mr. Canby had to say
when he was asked if a large corpora.
tion. like the Armour grain interests,
-f y,- hnrin? erain from the farm
ers and. holding it indefinitely in their
elevators control the export wheat
.ihntinn and hv controlling' that
.rnia thn domestic market:
"I wouldn't call that a popular
mrth. I should say it is principally
all moonshine just plain buns.
Th nrosant situation is remark
able hut lawful,'5, he continued. "The
export surplus Axes the domestic
price. We -can't--expect to buy here
for less than is offered abroad. Mow
ever, our export facilities are limited.
Otherwise, Europe would be In the
mrkt for all the wheat we have.
rierinanv would pay S3 a bushel' for
mit nnantltv. . ' - ' " . '
"One advantage of high prices is
that neonle waste less wheat, flour
and bread when it is expensive. .
1 do not understand how people
like ours, which spends millions
vmlt on cheao chewing gum, cigars
and other trash can be-affected by
an increase of 1 cent In the price of
bread."-
TurnlnK back to toe wheat situa
tion. Mr. Canby asserted: -r
'Liverpool is the wheat Barometer
this year. I believe Europe la accu
mulating: a surplus.
"I think we may hare as much as
100.000.000 bushels left to export and
I am confident that speculation this
year is. vastly less than It usually is.
I don't know of any speculator or any
bold group of speculators who have
plunged and made fortunes. I do
know of some big people who have
oversold themselves and been badly
frightened. Mostly the operators are
sitting on the fence.
Speculation neither raises nor low
ers prices; small amounts cause wider
fluctuations than large amounts."
A STORY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
There waa once a young Prince
whose wicked ancle, had taken the
kingdom from him when his father,
the old king, had .died, and turned
him out to wander in the world. -.
As he wandered one day, faint and
hungry, thru a great forest, he came
to a tumbledowa hut, and, there be
ing no other place to rest, he entered
and laid down to sleep. When he
awoke he noticed a huge bos In the
: corner, and, going up to it, he lifted
the lid. Inside there' was another
box. He lifted the lid of this and in
side of this- found still another box.
Box after box he found inside, as
he opened each one, and each one was
smaller than the one before, until at
fast he came to a box no bigger than
' the tip of his little finger. When he
opened this , he was disappointed to
and that it contained nothing hut a
scrap of dirty paper.- He was Just
about to throw it away when he no
ticed there were words written upon
tL Holding it up to the light he read
aloud: .
"Jack, my boy, come hither."
: . T Hardly had he pronounced the words
when a voice said In his ear:
"I am here to do thy bidding; com
mand me."
The Prince was much startled at
hearing, the voice when he could see
- no one about, but be was a brave
young fellow and so he said:
"Well, I am very hungry; fetch m
a fine supper."
As soon as the words left his month
there appeared in the hut a table set
with fine linen and china and filled
with savory dishes, v
"Ha! this Is great luck-" exclaimed
the Prince, and, sitting down, ate his
cU
"Now," he said to himself when he
, had finished. "I will try what farther
the magic writing will do." So again
be read aloud the words & '
"Jack, my boy, come hither."
' "I am here to do thy bidding; com
mand, me." -
"Give me a handsome palace with
many attendants," he said.
The next moment the hut vanished,
; and in its place there appeared a
handsome palace filled with attend
ants. The Prince found everything
there that his heart could wish; but
he soon grew tired of It and wished
for still other things; great treas
ures and ships and chariots and such
costly things. And these he squan
dered in a reckless way. Anyone might
have anything they might ask of him.
"For," he thought, "all I have to do
Is to read the paper, 'Jack, my boy,
, come hither,' and I can get twice as
much more."
So the Prince got more reckless
and careless each day until at last
. ha did not take the trouble even to
' guard the magic paper. Then, one day,
when he desired something and went
to get the paper and ask It, he found
it was gone.
Instantly everything he had, pat-
vo, pieasure-grounda, retinues and
stables vanished, and he found himself
lying again In the hut. Aa ha lav
there, the King of the country, who
was nnnung in the forest, came by
mua spied aim. -'
"What vagabond is this? ha uteri
"Hang him up to the nearest tree."
His attendants seised him anil n
about to do bis bidding when the Prin
cess, bis daughter, who was attracted
oy we ranee s beautr. secretlT tnM
the attendants not to put the rope
mnmiia sis necn out about bis arms.
So they hong him up and left him.
As he tbns hung, bemoaning his
fate and his folly In squandering his
fortune Instead of saving it, he saw a
little dwarf come by driving a cart
heaped high with old shoes. He drove
up close to where the Prince was.
-a, nai- be laughed. "I am the
magic dwarf who did your bidding.
See these worn shoes? They are the
shoes I were out running about for
you. But yon were so careless that
yon allowed me to steal the paper, and
so snmiess tnat yon saved nothing;
so this Is what you come to!"
Then the dwarf, to make the Prince
more nn&appy. took the paper which
he had and tickled the. end of the
rnacea nose, but the Prince snatched
it away from him and swiftly read:
"Jack, my boy, come hither."
Instantly the dwarf grew humble,
and, bowing, said: 1 am here to do
thy bidding; command me.". j
"Get me oft this tree," cried the
Prince, "and then restore my posses
sions. And never again will I be so
foolish as to squander my wealth or
leave my magic paper a moment away
irom me." -v-,--- :;,-,;.,,., . v
Instantly the palaces and all the
other possessions of the Prince ap
peared again. And now the Prince,
having learned a lesson, was careful
not to squander his wealth nor let the
paper get out of his care. In time
th neighboring King heard of his
wealth and wisdom and came, bring
ing his daughter. The -Prince, who
now learned from her attendants how
she had saved his life, fell in love
with her as much for her kindness
as her beauty, and when" they were
married the King put him in control
of his kingdom. ,

New York, Feb. 26. Federal an

val reservist arrested - here Wednes-
dajrtha Capt Boy Ed, naval attache
to the German embassy in Washington
had furnished an American passport
to carl Hans Lody, the German spy

Charles H. Griffith, former assistant

"Steglar told me " Mr. Griffith aid.

Mr. Griffith says all of statements

lar was to have sailed for England to
work for the German government in
obtaining information on the English
fleet Steglar -was to have gone on
the Franconla according to the lawyer
and when he decided not to go a young
German-American waa assigned to the

NEGRO I WEBSTER
AND NIS SILVER v
o DOLLAR
Jim Webster, a colored man who
lives about, six miles' West pf the city,
believes in witches and wiasards and
hoodoos - e.nd an that sort of thing,
and for forty years has carried a sil
ver dollar inis mouth night and day,
not to make his speech silvery but to
keep away the hoodoo. He keeps one
dollar in his mouth until all of the let
ters and figures are worn off, then he
exchanges It for a new dollar. He
says he Is now wearing his fourth
dollar. . t '
- Jim thinks that as long as he car
ries that dollar In his month, witches
and hoodoos have no power over him,
so he works, eats and sleeps with It
in his jaw. , A largo number of other
colored people thinks the silver dol
lar in his mouth gives Jim some kind
of nooddotstie powers, and they are
rather shy of bim. ' - '
Jim owns a little farm out in the
country, and came Into the city one
day last week to puy nis taxes. He
lacked a few cents of having enough
money In his nooket to pay his taxes.
and some one suggested that he use
the dollar in hia mouth But Jim said
he would let the land he sold fqr the
taxes urst.- .. ( :? . :...
Jim condescended to show the dol
ler be carries in his, mouth, taking
great, care that n one -else should
touch Jt It la a bright brow color
and doesn't look a bit like siiveK
Jim said that he had his land sur
veyed some time ago,' and that as long
as the line was running between him
and hia white neighbors It ran along
just where It should have beep J but
wnen ne came to a line between him
and another colored freeholder, he
found that the land marks' had; been
moved over on him so as to take
about two and a half acres of his land,
and he has brought suit to settle the
boundary.- Jim says that Mr; Cy 'Wat
son may be right as a general theory
that the Anglo-Saxon will cut over in
running ; a survey, but It doesn'
square with his experience.

report of -this last Hatchers Run light
dated February t, 1863 will give a
true idea of this state of the case.
"Yesterday, the most inclement day
of the "winter, the troops had to be
maintained In the line pf battle, hav
ing been In the same condition the
two previous days anoVnights. I re
gret to be obliged to state that under
these circumstances, heightened by
the assault and fire of the enemy,
some of the men were suffering from
reduced rations and scant clothing, ex
posed to battle, cold and sleet. I
have directed Colonel Cole, chie.'
commissary, who reports that he has
not a pound of meat at his disposal to
vstt Richmond and see If something
cannot be done. If some change is
not made and the commissary depart
ment not reorganized, I apprehend
dire results. The physical strength
of the men, their courage and services
must fail under this treatment Our
cavalry has to be dispersed for the
Want of forage. I nad to bring will-
lam H. F, Lee's division forty miles

President Davis endorses this re
port as follows:
"This is too sad td be patiently
considered and cannot nave occurred
without criminal neglect or gross in
capacity, Let supplies be had by
purchase or borrowing or other possi
ble means."
In this manner the days and weeks
wore on. Along the line there was
more or less selling and picket firing
at all times, while on the flank, the
enemy, was Inching his way, farther
and farther in hia efforts to out oft
our subslstent supply by way of the
Weldon railroad. Sometimes at night
we would go farther eorae distance in
front of our quarters and watch the
bombs flying back and forth, their
course being marked by the burning
fuses- It was much like aa exhibi
tion of sky-rockets, rather pretty to
look at yet we could not forget that
possibly one or tne outer or tne nyin
meteors would bring-ideetruetion, suf
