TBS SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT.
Washington, Nov. 30.«— The
speakership contest is waxin8
warm and those who were here dur-
ing the fight between Carlisle and
Randall say that the chances now
are that this will exceed that in
i heat. Still there is nothing defi-
nite kuown in regard to any man's
strength. The claims of some of
j them are preposterous, and if all
the votes they assume would ma-
terialize it will far exceed the
number of members in the house
and senate.
8ome of the Missouri delega-
tion came in today, headed by
Hatch. That gentleman puts on
a bold front, as do his friends, bnt
I am under the impression that lie
does not have a ghost of a chance.
His strength is small, bat he is a
matter of interest, because there
is a great anxiety to ascertain
which way that support will go
when he quits the field. The del-
egation is keeping very quiet,only
responding in a laconic way when
asked what their course will be
when Hatch quits, "We are for
Hatch."
It sure that Mills has some
friends, as has Crisp, in the dele-
gation. The chances are that
when Hatch steps down, which
he must do at a very early mo-
ment in the caucus, the Missou-
rians will commence to lookout for
themselves and

A CORN COKNER.
New York, Nov. 30.— After the
closing of the produce exchange
today a well-known Chicago grain
operator briskly reviewed the
corn situation. He said: "The
whole facts ot the case are just
these: There has been a big de- |
maud for corn for export during
the last thirty days and the White I
corner caused the snpplies of old j
corn, which is the only one with |
which November contracts could
be filled, to fall short. Owing to
the high price at which Mr. White
put corn in the Chicago market,
when the price broke that shipped
to New York was shipped abroad.
The remaining corn in Chi-
cago fell into the hands of a few
buyers tnere, who shipped it!

principal of Rntger's female col-

street, and who for a much long-
costoms of New York and Chicago cr PeI>i°d has been regarded as
the personification of goodness,
stands convicted by her own con-
fession of converting the funds of
the college to her own use. There
is proof that by original and most
unique methods she has taken
more than $3000 which should
the opening argu-1 have gone into the treasury of
the argument pro- | the institution. But the aggre-
gate loss by her is known to lie
much greater, although the exact
amount cannot be stated. Cer-
tain it is, however, that the
drains upon its resources was so
great that at one time the life of
the college was actually menaced.
