JEROME'S FAST HORSE,

Mr.. Jerome was one of General

Colonel Chadwick were almost INSOFAR

general was president. says the New

Leonard jerome, Lawrence Jerome

found their way across the lot back of
the White House to the rear entrance
OF the executive mansion-and to a

soldier-president. One night General
Grant was describing in his terse way
the good points of horse which he
had been driving for a week or two,

rounds Jackson stagaered around the ring
and Corbett was in but little better condi-

Coal Not to Be Used When Wind Is

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Secretary Tracy
to-day issued an order to all naval officers
in regard to the consumption of coal. The
order directs all officers commanding ves-
sells to make experiments iii order to ascer-
tain the most economical rate of speed for
their ships. They are directed to report
the consumption of coal per hour at vary
ing rates of speed, from five to eleven
knots, kind and quality of coal
used, condition of vessels bottom,
and such remarks in reference to the most
economical rate of steaming as experience
may suggest. Vessels with sail power are
directed when they have sufficient wind to
carry them four knots an hour to use sail
alone. In conclusion, the order states that
it is expected that vessels under steam will
not exceed their most economical rate. ex-
cepting in cases of emergency, whenthe ma
ture of the service requires high speed. and
in such GASES report must be made to the
department explaining the necessity for
the increased speed.

A Propored Wheat Corner.

PARIS. May 2a.-The Eclaire, newspaper
of this city, publishes to-day interviews
with officials Of the department of agricul-
ture in reference to the projected wheat
corner. These officials said they did not
believe the people who were engineering
the corner would succeed in obtaining the
object in view, as the French farmers re-
fuse to cooperate with the manipulators Of
tho wheat deal. French farmers, tho off,
cials said, always sold their product on the
spot and would not enter into contracts
with any large syndicate, especially for
eign. French crops are in u very critical
condition. Tho home supply will fall short
by 20.OO0,000 hectolitres-- If the pr resent
rainy weather continues the result will be
disastrous to farmers.
