CHANCES FOR ANOTHER OFFICER

Destroyed by Fire. '
San Francisco,. -..Nov, 21, Secretary
Friedlander, of the Produce Exchange
and California Board association, in an
interview this mornfng regarding the
probable effect on the wheat market on
account Of the Russian ukase prohibit
ing the export of wheat, said: ; "The
opinion is advanced by some speculators
that as the ukase has been expected for
so long a time, its effect will not be so
great as at first anticipated. As to its
effects here, this market usually follows
that of London, on which Europe also
depends.
Liverpool and London are now de
pendent on New York and Chicago as
the United States at present holds the
wheat. If New York and Chicago ad
vance, London and Europe will follow,
ine Kan Francisco mar feet is now in a
peculiar condition. The market has
cornered itself without manipulations,
by reason of the scarcity of wheat, and
the almost unprecedented abundance of
ships available for wheat carrying. It
ia estimated that by the end of the year
there will be a total tonnage of 390,000
ton carrying capacity, as against 450,000.
tons of wheat on hand. ' This leaves a
surplus ' of only 60,000 tons of wheat by
the end of the year, and from this we
may provide for our own use and for ex
ports in the way of flour to Asia . and
South America. Of course the market
will be relieved somewhat by Oregon's
shipments, but they cannot send us
enough to balance our needs. For this
reason the market has been ' and must
continue to be strong."

Better Report from China.
-, . 1
CONSTANTINOPLE, MOV. 12. A . Semi
official dispatch received here' from
snangnai states tne situation arising
from the recent action of the Chinese in
attacking and threatening foreigners ia
Hunan is more satisfactory, owing to the
energetic action of the representatives
of the foreign powers. The chief of the
Kalaa Hui secret society was recently
arrested in Shanghai.- His right-hand
man, Hen Kin Lung, was soon. after
wards arrested at Hoo Chow. Hen Kin
Lung was subjected to torture but would
confess nothing. .However, documents
tound on mm gave the Chinese authori
ties a clue to the perpetrators of the
attack. Numerous arrests have been
made and it is said the government has
greatly increased the severity of its
measures against the criminals of this
class, and seems determined to exert
every effort to protect foreigners.

The People Object to Paying: Ex-King
. Milan's Debts Brief General
Mention.
Paris, Nov. 19. Senor Vienna, who
was selected by Balmaceda to succeed
him in the presidency of Chili, arrived
here today. Regarding -the affairs of
Chili, he refused to talk until the public
mind there became tranquil and the
political situation normal. He said that
when the proper time comes he will
publish documents in his possession con
taining the facts regarding these matters
and leave history to pronounce a verdict
as to the part he played in Balmaceda's
government. Referring to the general
situation in South America, Senor
Vicuna said the Chilian revolution had
unsettled the whole continent, and a
general conflagration was liable to break
out at any moment. Brazil, since the
proclamation of the republic, had been
unable to establish agoveinment having
the essential elements of permanence,
Divergent interest, political and eco
nomic, and dissimilar sympathies, cus
toms and temperaments of the inhabi
tants would inevitably lead to a separa
tion of the country into at least two sec
tions, the north and the south. In Ar
gentine serious changes . were taking
place and a general outbreak of discon
tent was imtendinir. There was everv
indication of movements of a disquieting
nature observable by the student of
politics.
; A SALUTARY EFFECT.
Sending War Vessels Brings Chill From
' ' Her High Pedestal.
New York, Nov. 19l The Herald'
Valparaiso correspondent cables "The
Chilian government has descended from
the lofty pedestal it so long occupied in
dealing with the outrageous assault by
the mob upon the sailors of the Balti
more. Captain Schley today received a
letter from Judge Foster, granting the
request that our representatives here be
furnished by the court of inquiry with
copies of all despositions made before it
in the investigation. This same request
has been absolutely -refused on all pre
vious occasions. There is no doubt the
Chilian authorities rejected the London
Times' self-proffered advice through the
sensational correspondent, Thomson,
that the United States' reasonable de
mands be treated as a bluff, and finding
our government maintaining a fair but
firm attitude determined to meet it half
way. I hear rumors that much specula
tion is indulged here and at Santiago as
to the reason for the dispatch of Ameri
can war vessels to the Pacific squadron.
There is no doubt the news had a salu
tary effect in Chili.
Objects to Paying His Debts.
Vienna, Nov. 20. Great discontent
exists with the terms granted by the
regency to ex-King Milan, and the pop
ulace is so aroused that an outbreak is
feared. The poorer Servians, ground
down by taxation, regard the 2,000,000
francs paid' to Milan as outrageous ex
travagance. Milan, it is said, has
threatened to remarry Natalie, come
back to Belgrade and let Natalie have
her own way with the men who had
driven her out of Servia. This was not
an empty threat. Milan is a favorite ,
with the army, which would doubtless
have obeyed his commands. ; The re
gents, therefore, yielded to Milan's
terms, after an ineffectual protest, and
hereafter he is to hate 2,000,000 francs'
for leaving Servia entirely alone. As
the ministry is now stl lorn able to make
both ends meet, some new method will
have to be found, to raise the money for
Milan to spend in luxurious idling in
Pans. ' " . - - -
