dances more gracefully, charmingly, and
withal, SO nodestly as Miss Glover, and

them. The dancer kicked her tambourine

TO ADMIT OUR WHEAT. Rumor That Germany VIII Agree to
 Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, Get. IL. Reports are revived that American wheat and flour will soon be admitted to Germany free of duty. But neither confirmation nor denial from authoritative sources can be had to-day. Assistant secre- tary of State Wharton intimates, however, that he may have something important to divulge to- morrow, which probably means that some formalities remain to be observed before publicly announcing the result of the negotiations That the conyen- ton is completed to all intents and purposes, lacking only the little final touches, is generally believed here. The negotiations have been in progress for some weeks and have been occupying a great deal of the rresident's time. The German gov ernment designed that the present con ditions governing the importation of beet sugar from that country into the United States be continued. In return the President requested that Germ~r reduce it's tariff on Agae- J brcadstuffs. Germany, aceor' lear the report, has ding tt acceded to this dot only has gone farther request, bu duty on wheat s- nd removed tn, President Hay, hd four altogether canned mo, .ison desired to includ, from dps .ts in the articles to be freed suece y and it is possible that he ha; ts' eded, but the only authority ob

HAND IN HAND WITH VICE.
Charles E. Felton Of Chicago Presents some Ideas On Regulating Crime.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, Oct. l5.-When the National Prison congress opened this morning Chairman Charles F. Felton of Chicago presented the report of the standing committee on police. The report, which was quite lengthy, in substance follows:
 The leading superintendents of police are almost unit in placing the chief detriments to police manage ment to politics, licentiousness and gambling.
 Incidentally, if not primarily, the two leading vices which disturb public thought and are embarrassing in police management in several of our cities are licentiousness and gambling. These forces, especially the latter, are made a part of the unwritten platform of parties and are utilized by candi- dates for office and officials more especially for pecuniary ends.
 Nearly every change of municipal administration causes change of policy in regard to these offenses. As a result our larger cities are rapidly falling into line with those in Europe in the magnitude of the social evil and public gambling has not decreased. The number of fallen women has alarmingly increased in the last few years, the causes not being altogether of political nature, but the result of lax administration, of demoralizing social and industrial conditions and a confusing sentiment of opinion in the public mind as followed ty the author ities in treating the difficulty. The committee believe that the so- cial evil can be suppressed in some communities, but not in running dis tricts and in cities where the popula-
 ton is heterogeneous and cosmopoli tan Public gambling is open to sim- liar criticism and cuts a more promin'
 ent figure in politics than the social evil and ought to be suppressed but
 for the collision between gamblers and office holders.
 Crime is most prevalent where these vices are most encouraged, and it 1: increasing in this country beyond the public belief and statistics are not sui
 ficient to determine its extent

He made plea to the prison-keepers to assist the chaplains and work in har- mony. It was not right to say to the chaplain: We will do the logging and you the preaching.
