The troops heie are now comfortably located and they feel that unless they are to so Into an active campaign It would be far prefeiable to be left here.

The last moments were lively and Jo. seph Lelter, to all appearances was master of the situation. As if to em phasize his command of the market, Loiter sent May wheat down from ? 1.7.1 to U-io. This move wns plainly for the puiposo of evading the big receipts and to circumvent tbe "tailors" who wanted to "ring in" u lot of wheat on Lelter at fancy prices. Lelter fooled them by rutting tne price down. Nevertheless he had to take on lnard another 500,000 bushela today In addition to tho C.UOO.000 or C, 000,000 whl"h he still lias on his hands. All attempts to place Lelter, so far as his profits and losses ure concerned, nt the culmination of his gigantic deal ars widely at variance.

Ho paid his respects to those who pre ferred adjournment to reinulnlnu hero to attend to the country's business. Senator Chandler contended that the possession of the Islands was a mili tary necessity.
