YOUNG PLUNGERS GO FLAT BROKE. They Could Not Keep Up the Price and Failed for Thousands. A PANIC OCCDES A3T0XG SPECULATORS fgrrCIAL TK.EGRAM TO THI DISPATCH. 1 Chicago, May 31. The gigantic deal in May corn manipulated by Coster & Martin fell with a crash on 'Change to-day, and to night the two young Xew York plungers are fiat broke. A panic on the floor was the result of the announcement of their failure and the price of May corn dropped from $1 to CO cents, at which figure it finally closed in an instant. The suspended firm is not the only one to lose by the deal. Many brokers are in volved and some estimates place the total losses close to a million dollars. The firm was one of the best known in the city, both members being supposed to be backed by "Wall Street Exchange men. They carried a large account with the Bank of Montreal and were considered financially sonnd. No intimation of the failure was had on the floor until 11:30 o'clock, when one ot the firm's checks came back from the bank without payment Jnst Where the Rub Came In. All the morning Coster & Martin bad been buying in corn at $1 per bushel until i t is supposed they had purchased 400,000 bushels. The rumor of the failure flew like rilld-fire and a moment later was confirmed ly Secretary Stone, of the Board, 'Tho announced that all business lelations with Coster & Martin were iff. This meant that much of the 100,000 bushels of May corn boueht by them at $1 would hare to be resold and the brokers who had sold it would have to stand the loss. This was where the rub came in. The price dropped to SO cents in less time than it takes to tell it, and the great corner in corn that pushed shorts hard during the morning fell in a heap. Many of the brokers, however, had re ceived their money, their checks having been cashed. The Weare Commission Company did not, and is said to be a heavy loser. At the very start of to-day's trading 51 was offered for May corn. Many sales were made and still the manipu lators of the corner kept endeavor ing to boost the price, and to do this bought at $1 everything in sight BoydenWd 10,000 bushe'ls of corn, Norton & Worthington sold 35,000 bushels, and the check for it was honored by the bank. Kennett, Hopkins & Co. were also among the lucky ones, receiving payment for 40,000 bushels. The next big deal that attracted attention was that with the "Weare Commission Com pany, which was followed by the failure of Coster & "Martin. The other firms said to have been asso ciated with Coster & Martin in the corner areBartlett, Frazier & Co. and E. RPratt .After the failure, the firm's customers rushed to the office doors, but were unable to gam admittance. Speculators Three Tears Old. Both Martin "& Coster have been en gaged in speculation together in this city about three years. They were fearless operators, always appearing to have plenty of money and attracting general attention by their big deals. Had the clique Deen aoie to carry me corner to a successful end corn would had sold far above $1, as the "shorts" were practically at the mercy of those who held the grain. During the early part of the day they were pushed hard, but kept clear of the corn pit in the hope that something in their favor would turn up, and it did. Coster & Martin filed a formal assign ment in the county court this afternoon, but failed" to schedule their assets or liabilities. Morris Hoyle was appointed assignee to take charge of the firm's business. The firm oi Coster & Martin is ostensibly composed of two people, but it is well understood that there were wealthier operators than they back of the establishment, from whom the sinews of war were derived. There are three Martin brothers in the concern and they all came from the Bast eight or nine months ago. The Martin brothers lived in Kiverside. They keep fine establishments and mingle in good so ciety. Until their fortune suddenly col lapsed to-day and their business honor be came impaired everybody considered them sound and wealthy.

In October last Rebie, the daughter of "William B. Lowe, a resident of Atlanta, Ga,, became dangerously ill. Drs. "William S. Arm strong and "William a Kendrick attended her. Her mother wanted a Mew York phy sician called in consultation. Dr. "William M. Polk was telegraphed for. He sent Dr. C. C. Barrows, who is associated with him. Dr. Barrows was away from New York ten days. The girl recovered. Dr. Polk sent Mr. Lowe a bill for $2,500. Mr. Lowe re fused to pay it, on the ground that the charge was exorbitant A suit to recover the money was instituted in the United States Circuit Court The case came up for trial to-day. Dr. "William B. Anderton,ass!stant to the late Dr. Fordyce Barker, testified that $2,500 was not an unreasonable charge. He always charges extra for the '"wear and tear" of travel, he said. Dr. Alfred L. Loomis said he would charge at least $10 an hour, and count 24 hours in each day. but afterward said that he wouldn't go to Georgia for $30 an hour. The delense nut in a deposition by Dr. "WilliamS. Armstrong, of Atlanta, who was the physician in charge of the case. He said he received less than 1300 for his whole attention, and he thought $50 a day a proper charge for Dr. Barrows. This brought a smile to every professional face. "That's in Atlanta," one of the learned gentlemen said to another, and then both chuckled. The case was given to the jury, with instructions by the Judge to find a sealed verdict FRANCE IS CAUTIOUS.

The formal announcement of tlio failure of Coster & Martin, grain brokers and speculators at Chicago, created some excite ment on 'Change in that city yesterday.

J., May 3L Attorney General Stockton this afternoon made ap plication in the Court of Chancery for an injunction to dissolve the relations between the New Jersey Central, Philadelphia and Reading and Port Reading Railway Com panies, on the ground that the tripartite agreement between them, for the purpose of monopolizing the anthracite coal trade, is illegal. Xhe relief asked for, is that the lease of the Hew Jersey Central to the Port Read ing shall be declared null and void and that the New Jersey Central be directed to take possession of its own property and that the combination shall be declared void. The court granted a preliminary Injunction, Pabis, May 31. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Soubeyran moved an interpellation in favor of a silver standard of currency. He argued that if silver Vas demonetized it would no longer have any value in France. "In Austria," he said, "measures are pending that will withdraw 750,000,000 francs in gold from the Paris and London market. It is essential that the French Government shall send representa tive to the coming Silver Con ference with instructions tending to effect a rise in silver and prevent a with drawal of gold on a scale affecting the mar ket. Poth England and France ought to make a most strenuous effort to rehabilitate silver. The United States Government is well disposed toward the project; Germany is less favorably inclined than England, but the bi-metallic movement is gaining ground." He concluded by asking the Chamber to adopt an order of the day ap proving the programme of the United States and France as arranged for the monetary conference of 188L M. Bourgeois asked whether the Govern ment would denounce the Monetary Con vention with Switzerland, Italy and Bel gium. He argued that the value of silver was daily decreasing and that artificial methods to sustain its value were useless. M. Kouvier, Minister of Finance, in re sponding to the remarks of the previous speakers, said that the country most affected by the sitnation was Great Britain, owing to the relations of that Government with India. Therefore it was the place of the British Government to find a solution; the key to the situation was in London. The French Government was disposed to give its delegates instructions favoring an increase in the value of silver. bnt these would be subordinate to the instructions given to British delegates. It was necessary for France, M. Rouvier de clared, to proceed with great circumspec tion in the matter. In the meantime the French Government was opposed to the abrogation of the Latin Monetary Union. In regard to the invitation extended by the United States to France to take part in the International Silver Conference, M. Bouvier said the French Government would nccapt the invitation, bnt would re serve the right of liberty of action both now and in the future. OPPOSITION TO THE SCHEXE Or Coining Ten Million Half Dollars for the World's Fair Project. "Washington, May 3L The Committee on the "World's Columbian Exposition to night began the formal consideration of the bill prepared by the "World's Fair officials, providing for Govern ment aid to assist in com pleting the work at Chicago. Most of the time of the committee heretofore has been consumed in hearing arguments on'the vari ous propositions to aid the Fair that have been advanced, so that the committee has had but little opportunity to get down to serious consideration of any of the measures proposed. The pres ent bill, besides making appropriations for the expenses of the World's Fair Commis sion, the Board of Lady Managers, the Government exhibit, etc., provides for the issue of 10,000.000 silver half dollars by the Government, in aid of the Exposition! the coins to be engraved and stamped with such inscription as will make them suitable souvenirs of the four hundredth anniver sary of the discovery of America. The discussion by the members of the committee of the various features of the bill was very general It was the opinion of the committee that it would be appro priate to provide for an issue of souvenir coins commemorative of the occasion, but the tiroDriety of issuinsr them for the pur pose of assisting in completing the Fair buildings is still an unsettled question, as the committee tZ- came to no conclusion in the matter. There was very decided opposition to the provis ion of the bill authorizing the purchase of sufficient silver bullion to coin the 10,000, 000 half dollars, and it is not probable that the bill will contain any such provision. Frequent meetings will hereafter be held by the committee, with a view to agreeing to some measure to report to the House at an early day. To the Ladies.

New Orleans, May 3L Special The prejudice against the negro is increasing ot late, and is shown especially here in the in troduction of a bill in the Legislature, which will probably be passed, prohibiting inter marriage between the races.

In another carriage was Queen "Wiihelmins, accompanied Ty Princess Frederick Leopold.!. .After the arrival of the'Imperial and Royal party upon the field the review began.

A Plot to Blow TJp a "Railway Station Frustrated by the Police. London, May 3L "What is supposed to have been an attempt to blow up the rail way station at London Fields in Northwest London was discovered to-day. A police man observed a gang of men acting in a suspicious manner near the station. He made his way toward them, they saw him, threw something away and dashed oil at the top of their speed. The policeman pursued them a short dis tance but they were too fleet footed for him. He returned to the place where he had first seen the men and found tonr powerful dyna mite cartridges to which fuses were attached and it is believed that the men were arrang ing to place the explosive in the railway station. It is thought that they were for eign Anarchists, many of whom have flocked to London since the authorities in continental cities have started their crusade of extermination against them.
