Sax FBAxcisfco, April 27. Yesterday
there were twelve vessels in port under
engagement for wheat, etc., to'Europe,
and four of them had charters for a new
crop loading. All but four were iron
ships, and the entire list included only
one American vessel. Each : has Conti
nental options. - Vessels are" now seldom !
being chartered for a direct port, though
occasionally a charier calls for such op
tion. ' Bates of vessels alreadv chartered
for a new crop loading range from 28s 9d
to 32s" 9d, one having accepted the first;
named, two the latter and one 30s. Total
amount of tonnage under the engage
ment was 21,500 tons, against 48,100 tons
on correspondeng date last year. There
were in port yesterday fifty-eight disen
gaged veesels, having an aggregate ton
nage of 102,700 tons, as against- only.
5,600 tons a year ago. Yesterday's list
comprised forty-four British vessels,
thirteen American and one Kicaragnan.
Disengaged vessels are located at various
points. Of the - disengaged ' veesels - the
British iron ship'Andrada has been the
longest in port, having arrived; Septem
ber 22, 1891. Forty-three of the disen
gaged vessels are iron. The inward coal
fleet contributed thirty-seven of the fif
ty-eight vessels now disengaged. At
neighboring ports there were fourteen
chartered or . disengaged vessels, repre
senting 17,900 ton 8 of tonnage, against
19,000 tons on the ' same date last year.
Under the head of miscellaneous charters
were eight vessels two of which load
lumber for England, one takes lumber to
Sydney, two go to New York with gen
eral cargoes, and three others load mer
chandise, one each lor Honolulu, Cen
tral America' "and .' Melbourne. '.Total
amount of tonnage of all 'classes on ; the
way to this port yesterday was 219,800
tons, against 273,200 tons on the' corres
ponding date last year. . Wheat freights
are nominally quoted at 22s 6d for iron,
for United Kingdom, Havre or Antwerp.
; Wheat Speculation.
.San Francisco, April 28. There - has
been no improvement whatever "in ' the
local' wheat situation, business during
the past week having been very slack
and prices unchanged to any appreciable
extent. ..-Nearly air the trading has been.
of a" speculative character. The foreign
market has been without any particu
larly important changes, and offers little
or no encouragement for local exporters
to enter into new engagements. The
visible supply 'of wheat' east of the Rocky
mountains showed a decrease of 2,904,
000 bushels fn the past week,' and quan
tities of wheat and, flour on passage to
the United Kingdom have fallen off each
week since , March ; 15th. During the
latter poriod," however ,' arrivals ' "out for
the . United Kingdom' and Continent
were quite liberal; "India shipments of
wheat lately have attracted' more atten
tion as ..comprising a somewhat; impor
tant factor in the situation of future
probabilities. These shipments, have
been as follows for -the -given weeks' in
April:'. Week finding the 4th, to the
United Kingdom 42,000 quarters to the
Continent 42,500 weekending the 11th,
to the United Kingdom 55,000 to the
Continent 60,000; week ending 18th, to
United Kingdom 40,000, to Continent
67,500; week-ending 25th, to United
Kingdom 47500, to Continent 75,000.

Above . quantities "represent supplies

an increase for the' present seaeon. The
present outlook does not appear favor
able for any marked improvement in
prices in immediate -future, "though,
with a gradual diminution of wheat and
fionr on passage to United Kingdom and
prospective, decrease of supplies avail
able for consumption, the : English?
market may rally after a time. It is
stated in the report that Russia's prohi
bition of the export of wheat will be
raised in May, which is not believed in
London. Official reports indicate that,
thongh India's crop is much below that
of last year it will not be much -below
the average. -

Portlakd, April 28. A synopsis of
the annual report of the Union 'Pacific,
submitted to the stockholders ; at their
annual .meeting in ; Boston yesterday,
shows a decrease in the gross earnings
of 1890, of nearly a' million dollars.
Earnings from passenger traffic have
fallen off $853,000, about 9 per cent.

OmAua, April 28. The election of
Union Pacific officers in Boston yester
terday was . another victory for Jay
Gould. '- Even if he is on the verge of the
grave, he will continue to- rest one foot
on the neck- of the oppressed. The
Wormsers turned 'the votes ; to Gould,
thus turning the election and retaining
the Missouri Pacific officials in the man
agement of the Union Pacific. - . ;

Paris, April 28. "Nobody doubts but
that .the jury in the Ravacbol case, were
terrorized; but, what can you do, when
the murderous wretches ' of anarchists
are permitted to do the terrorizing and
receive no just, or adequate punish
ment?" t Such is .the' sentiment of for
eigners in Paris, and to this is traced the
present panic, which it appears Is liable
to become worse before, it is better.
Louise 'Michel -and Henri :;Rochefort
have"been interviewed. They "declare
their belief that no explosion or discord
ance will occur in Paris on May day.
There may be such things, however, in
the provinces, where the agents and
procurateurs - have a better chance.
Mich'el declares that Ravachol is not the
aent of.;: the " procurater-general.
Louise's belief is that he is a vulgar
criminal, representing no society.
Shoot Then Apolbrlie.
. New Yohk: April 28. United States
Consul P. C. Hanna, of La Gnayra,
Venezuela, is something of a hero now
amongst the natives. It appears that
on the night of the 20th he was fired up
on by policemen in the streets at 9:30
o'clock. The bullet whizzed unpleas-i
an tly close to the consul but did not hit
him. Mr. Hanna "pounced npon the
policeman,-demanding-' what the shot
meant. When the crazy fool saw whom
be had fired upon, he was greatly dis
concerted and 'begged for ; mercy. On
the following day the American consu
late was besieged by government officials
anxious to apologize4or the , unfortun
ate incident.. Mr. Hanna' assured the
officials that he looked upon the affair
as a mistake' and ' bore the unfortunate
policeman no ill-will. -

Chicago j April' 28. -Failure to settle,
and' the ' defiant attitude- of "some com
panies, has compelled the state railroad
commission to bring suit against the
Southern Pacific railway torecover the
penalty prescribed for the violation of
the commission's law in charging greater
rates ' on "wool ' shipments than " those
fixed by the commission. - A suit will
also be brought by the state to compel
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway
to establish a main office in the state,
the.office at Dennison hot being regarded
as the principal office according to the
requirements of the law.
Punished for Declaring:.
London, April . 27. A dispatch re
ceived by the news agency, of this city
from Rio Janeiro" states, that the Bra
zilian : government ; has' ordered its con
suls abroad to refuse to dispatch vessels
for Matte Grosso, which "state has de
clared its 'independence of .the Brazilian

SIB CHARLES TUFFEB NO GOOD.
Seven Sealers Coming Around from

the Jvavy.
Ottaw a, April 27. A. C. Bertram of ,
North Sydney, Cape Breton, owner of
a fleet of Nova Scotian sealing schooners .
now on the way to Behring sea, had an
interview with Sir Charles Tupper, min
ister of marine and fisheries, yesterday,
respecting the recent proclamation of
the 'modus viveridi. He made strong
representations to Tupper, of the losses
which the restriction of eeal-taking will
cause him. From the harbor of North
Sydney alone - seven sealing schooners
are how on the way round Cape Horn,
bound for Behring sea. Bertram says
the modus vivendi will bear so hard on
Nova Scotian owners of sealing schoon
ers that almost the best thing that could
happen to them would be to have their
vessels driven ashore by a storm, o long
as the crews' were 'hot lost. ' In that case
they wonld have the insurance. Tupper
is 'considered, in the parlance of .slang,
n. g-i by the adventurous -Nova Scotian t
because he is 'unable- to hold out any
very r great hope for the prospects of
poachers who" take their schooners away
around North and South American fish
ing grounds, to reach contraband seals In
Behring sea. . '

The Paris Folic.
Pabis, Ap'rif28'. NoV that the press
have taken iip the subject perhaps there
will soon be a long felt want supplied in '
Paris by the correction of evils and sub
stituting of a police that knows its busi
ness. The fearless conduct of Beaupaire,
the public prosecutor, was warmly com- '
mended. '- La Justice says a radical or
ganization of some foolish minds is al
ready proposing absurd steps.' some- go
ing so faras to argue that the govern
ment should declare a, state of siege..
The proposals made - by these persons,...
La Justice declares, would prove a sorry.'
remedy as itwonld only aggravate 'the--evils.
The concilitory tone of Judge Gues, .
who presided at the trial, and his exces
sive" indulgence " to the .anarchists is
severely condemned. . It is suggested
that the Ravachol jury took their cue
from the judge. " .
" First Stone Laid. -
Nw Yokk, April 28. President Har- .
rieon used a gold troweK to lay the first
stone yesterday of the great mausoleum
which is to perpetuate the memory of
Gen. Grant in Riverside Park, in the '
presence of . the cabinet and thousands
of citizens. The weather was fine, the
ceremonies impressive. It was no mili
tary display, only a few army officer',
and those belonged to the troop which
accompanied the president to the park'
being present. Chauhcey-M. Depew,
the orator of . the day, delivered an
eloquent oration, dwelling upon the
sterling qualities of the deceased general
and president. ' In the address was the'
following striking passage: "The phe
nomenon of our times and one of the
chief dangers to law and order is the
groan -of our school of despair. Concen
trated contemplation ' of accumulated
wealth and the hopelessness of acquir
ing it paralyzes industrial energies and
true ambitions, and plants " the seeds of
'socialism and anarchy.- But Lincoln
from the poverty of a Kentucky cabins
and Grant from the' narrow limits, of a
log house in an Ohio wilderness; became
centralfigures and representative heroes
of the age ; they are "types . of - American
citizenship." y.. -'.- . : .- - ,
