On a rumor that Ambassador von Hernstorff had asked for his passports, wheat dropped G',H to B'.m cents from the opening just before the market closed on the Hoard uf Trade to day, precipitating a general liquidation. Demoralization developed following a show of strength In the llrst hour. Prices suffered u violent decline under heavy and aggressive selling Drought about by nervousness over n political situation. The confidence of buyers was acutely un settled by thn possibility nf trouble with Uermany. Weakness In securities at New York was ued to hack up this view. Stop loss orders weie reached as the market slumped, and there was no support worth mentioning. The market at Liverpool was dull but steady. Today's sales for export esti mated nt 1,000.000 bushels, largely Cana dian. There was a sharp setback In corn also; the market started stronger on eNp.-etu-tions that little com would be sold from tho Interior, but a sale of 500.000 bushels, to go Into store because of lack of shipping facilities or industrial outlet, weakened prices.

Kdwln 1.. Altec, nf the Insiilitnce Com mittee of the Chamber of Commen-i, said that if the nrciisntloiiM made by Sir. Coy In are found to be correct, the Chuniber of Commerce will uork to have the law amended. "As an lllu'trntlnn of the alleged dis crimination," said Sir. Atlee today. "1 note that Sir. Coylc compares the rate charged for n battery of eight hollers In Now York with the rate for a similar battery of eight boilers In Philadelphia. Philadelphia. In states. Is lerpilred to pny a premium of $835 for n three-year boiler policy, while the buttery of eight hollers In New York, of about the same grnto surface, pays) for the same amount of Insurance, und for the fniuo period. $258. !"t)l' course there nre two sides to tills riuertlon, und n lot of things t lie enn i sidereil as to the kind of boileis and the iMiuilllloiis under which they are operated. Hut If the facts as presented by Sir. Cnylo nic correct then the discrimination against Philadelphia is Very great, and the law Is nn obnoxious one. if the law was framed to fallen the treasuries of the In surance companies, or for any other rea sons not compatible with tho public Inter ests, then It is the duty of the Chamber of Commerce to get busy and work for an amendment. Certainly innnufitcturers nnd other business men of Philadelphia are In terested in obtaining reasonablo boiler In surance rales." Sir. Coylo outlined, his complaint against the act of Slay II, 1891, In a letter to the Chamber of Commerce. Howard II. French, president of the chamber, said todny: "Just as soon as Sir. Coyle's letter Is brought officially before tho Chiunier. wo will turn II over to thn proper committee, with Instructions that tho matter be In vestigated." In another statement Issued today Sir. Coylo said ho had been reliably informed that the act of Slay 11, 1891, was uncon stitutional. "I have heard frctiueut complaint," lie said, "that the .Stitte-inado rates for women's compensation were too high, but theso rates nro nothing In comparison with the high cost of holler Insurance. This high cost Is made possible by reason of a law approved on Slay 11, 1891, by Governor Pattlson. "It seems strange to me that nobody has ever attacked this law. for I have been told by good authorities that It was not only vulnerable, but altogether uncon stitutional. "It cannot bo disputed that boiler Insur ance costs mora in Philadelphia than In New York. This Is so because tho act of Slay 11. 189.L requires that tho Insurance companies shall charge a premium at least 50 per cent, of the charges made by the boiler Inspection bureau, which Inspection fees are In themselves high nnd do not seem to be limited in the act." Sir. Coylo said he wns certain that tho act of Slay 11, 1891, was passed to create political Jobs for party henchmen. This wns denied today by John St. l.ukcns. chief of thn llureatt of Holler Inspection, nt City Hall. "Before tholaw"vns pass"cd,"ald I.u ken.H, "tho city mnde all of tho Inspections of hollers. Now the city boiler inspectors accept the certificates of tho Insurance companies in lieu of their own Inspections. It can bo readily seen that If the city made all tho Inspections, as formerly, there would be more jobs to parcel out than under tho present conditions imposed by the law." RATES FOR MONEY Call.

Near the cor ner of 2d and SInstor streets he observed a quadrangular battle In progress. The combatants made serious oral accusations ns they charged each other literally with fists and feet. The policeman saw at a glance that the conflict could never ,bo .settled by idle words. He did the best thing under the circumstances, and that was to let the fighters maul each other to their heart's content. Finally he observed that tho blows begun to lack "steam." The "dull thuds" were fewer and there was a co-operative Inclination toward pence, due chlolly to unanimous humnu exhaustion, which hap pens even In the best of families. Aim so when the blow huil -eaeheil the canary bird Htage Ballile called upon the bellig erents und announced officially that they were "pinched."

The Art Alliance Brings Stuart Walker's Unique Entertain ment to Philadelphia The urliiup and iirnlseworthv nrolecl of Ihe Philadelphia Art Alllnnee wns pushed foiuiud tniotl(cr nok'li Ins! night In Its j campaign for funds by n performance nt j the Hcllcvue-Strntford which wns quite ns utilfltie and quite as noteworthy. A large I and Interested midlcnce saw what Is In general the most novel nnd significant I theatrical entertainment that America has I yet created the work of Stuart Walker's Poitmnnteuti Theatre. 1 Tho ntidlrncc found n beautifully slm- I j pie fotpsingp and proscenium In blue nnd j , gold lining Ihe whole singe of the bnll , room nnd putting to sluiiiie lis creamy I affluence. I "poll this fnrestnso nnd ngnlnst two very lovely settings behind J I lie proscenium were acted three little ' plas which sent iiclnrs out into thn nudl- once to unite slag" and auditorium In a i new and refreshing Intimacy. Cotuiiii's , and furniture and rcenery were of the oiv slmpte-it, yrl designed with such orlg- inallty and pici ni to create a little world of hnnuiy quite npnrt from Ihe gauds of ' the Ihrntr, nnd utterly In keeping with I tlie tinive und ehiirnilng little plays pre. , cenirti. Acting of sincerity and skill did n great part. It Is little or no use to recount Sir. Walker's three plays. The esseiico of them would evaporate In the retelling. "The Trlinplet," n dream play" : "Never theless." a realistic fantasy; "Six Who Pass While tlie Lentils tloll," n ballady sort of fnlk-itile. an- nil tmlve. nil gently whimsical, n ,t a llltl poetic and decidedly worth while fur all three qualities. They arc not vigorous. There Is no red blood. no passion In them, one could never bear j a whole season of such. Hut as n relief i from the violent ,ind the prosaic which rule our stage they are u delight. Their flavor Is In such program announcements J as "The time Is partly then and partly nowadays," nnd "The lime Is when yon I will." It whines through such everyday, I tmhlglifnlutln statements of the poetic ns "Heaven Is full of days and they'ro nil i coming this way." and "A trlinplet Is the j hole a sunbeam makes In n shadow. To dolluo Sir. Walker exactly, he conies nearer having what his beloved Sllddle Ages called a "pretty wit" than any mod ern of the moment.' Sir. Walker has something else a do7.cn times more needed, however, lie has n sense of the theatre and, better still, a sense of what the theatre lucks, lie learned them both nt the feet of David llelasco, and he Is now shaming Ills muster Willi beautiful art Instead of trumpery reallsm and Individual solution for the Hrondway slavery which hinds Sir. lle lasco and overy other professional pro ducer. For Sir. Stuart has built his whole theatre scenery, proscenium, gridiron, forostugo and lighting plant to pack up, enrry about nnd set up wherever anybody has a hall to give him. He Is bringing n new art to tho people who want It. K. SI. HAK SILVER Itnr ellvr 111 F.nm1m whh nuntril l 2" 11 fid, unrliiutkt'l . .. .
