THE ADVANCE IN WHEAT.
Pillsbury, the Flour Man, Says 1t Will Go
Up, but Not to So.


MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July &c. A.
Pillsbury, in an interview, has this to say
about the Farmers Alliance circular and
Mr.. Donnelly's statement: 81 don't know
what effect the circular will have, but to
the extent that the farmers do not market
wheat too rapidly, to that extent
they will get better prices. The statistical
portion is very strong. Take the shortage
of wheat alone in Europe, they would re-
quire more than we will be able to give
them, even on the largest estimates of our
crops. Besides the immense grain shortage
in Europe there is shortage in the rye
crop, which, according to my cores
pondents, is as high as $50, 900 bushels
in Russia and $4,000, 600 bushels in Ger
many. As rye is the food of nearly all the
people of Northern Europe, 1 don't see
what else there is to make up the deficiency
of the rye crop except large amounts of
wheat.
''The only country that practically ex-
ports rye is Russia, and according to infor-
nation have received from the consul at
Odessa, Russia has not produced as much
rye as she usually consumes by about 250,-
600, 900 bushels. This, taken with 75, 900, 600
shortage in Germany, which never exports
rye, the situation for wheat is very strong.
Whoever informed Mr.. Donnelly that
1 said wheat was going to sell at 50
bushel, and that our company owned 49,
600, 600 bushels of wheat, was certainly very
see wheat sell at very much higher prices, 1
do not expect it to sell as high as 81 unless
we have complete failure of the crop in
the Northwest. There is not half as much
wheat in the Northwest, all put together,
as the amount stated BY Mr.. DonnellY.'

THE GREELY EXPEDITION.

Reason of the Failure Assigned by Captain
Howgate, the Exile.
A newspaper correspondent, in describing
an interview he had with Captain Howgate,
founder of the Weather Bureau, whose fight
with pretty woman and department funds
was great sensation in its time, says:
Captain Howgate criticised very sharply
the management of the Greely expedition,
which was purely Signal Office enterprise.
He thought there had been needless loss of
life and lack of sound Judgment in laying
down and carrying out the details of the
plan. He remarked especially that the one
essential deviation by General Hazen from
what had come to be known as the Howgate
colonization scheme was the cause of the
disaster. The original plan was to colonize
party at Lady Franklin Bay in a comfort
able knock-down house to be taken out in
the vessel. Coal found here by the Mares
English expedition in 1875 was to be used as
fuel, and the station was to be stocked with
clothing provisions and medicines for three
years. Each year vessel was to go to the
colony to take supplies and recruits, and to
bring away the faint-hearted and the sick.
Thus situated, favorable chances for push
ing northward were to be improved, with
the station as base of operations. 1t was
calculated that the nerve and fortitude of
the men could thus be kept up, and that
series Of years of exploration would solve
the polar problem The rendezvous at
Cape Sabine, far to the southwark,
was the fatal error, Howgate thought.
The whole party stampeded to the
cape from the comfortable and safe
quarters on Lady Franklin Bay, for there to
lie down and to die as dogs waiting vatnly
and foolishly for the vessel which the timid
Lieutenant Darlington seemed anxious to
keep safely beyond their reach. Howgate
thought that Greedy erred in judgment in
not going back to the station promptly
while his party yet had strength. A supreme
effort he thought, would have saved every
life of the IA or 15 that perished.
In all his thousands of miles of itinerary,
Captain Howgate told me, 1 was the only
one of his old friends he had spoken a word
to- and that he had seen in four years but
one other whom he knew. The other one
was man now prominent in New York
journalism, who WAS then at the st. Charles
Hotel in New Orleans This, considering his
almost universal acquaintance over the
country, the Captain thought was q pretty
good Indication of what big world we live

A FIGHT ON SENATOR CALL.
Governor Fleming Determined to Appoint
a Man TO the Alleged Vacancy.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
GAINESVILLE, FLA, duly 25.-It is now
two months since the Florida Legislature
reelected Wilkinson Call to the United
States Senate, as his friends maintain, and
still no certificate of election has been issued
TO him by Governor Fleming. This is an
unprecedented course for the Governor to
pursue. Calls friends are absolutely con-
fdent that his reelection was constitu-
tional and legal. Meanwhile there is a
quiet canvass going on to secure the
appointment to the vacancy in the United
States Senate, which the anti-Call men de-
clare exists. There is not the slightest
doubt that Governor Fleming will make an
appointment of this kind, and that this
man will present himself with his creden-
tials at the bar of the Senate next Decem-
Der at the same time that Call appears
w. D. Chipley is the only man in Flor
ida who will agree to make this fight on
Call. Chipley has caused hundreds of let
tiers to be sent to the Governor, advising
his nomination. They were sent ostensiblY
without Chipleys knowledge. 1t is agreed
on all hands that if Chipley gets the ap-
pointment he will make one of the hardest
fights for seat in the Senate which that
body ever experienced. He hates Call. He
is stung to the quick bv the failure of the
Legislature to defeat Calls reelection, and
he has a corporation interest in the contest.

Rich Mans Daughter and Loses.
New York Recorder.I
At Weissenthal, small village in lower
Austria, rich manufacturer from Vienna
owns splendid castle, where he and his
family reside during the summer. As
superintendent of his villa he employed a
young man who had received a good educa-
tion, and probably on this account was
granted the privilege of dining at table with
the family. Thinking that the proprietor
had special liking for him he resolved to
ask him one day for the hand of one of his
beautiful daughters. When he told the
gardener of his intention the latter replied:
''Nonsense, you don't know the proud spirit
of this capitalist, he never will consent to
his daughter marrying poor employee"
81 will bet my life that he will not dare
to refuse my wish," said Edward Dsschow-
sky, the superintendent.
"And bet all 1 call my own that you
will not succeed" remarked the gardener
"Good accept the bet'' cried Daschow-
sky, and shook hands with the other as q
sign of closing the contract Two days
later the body of Daschowsky was found
with bullet in the temple under tree in
the park Near it was revolver and a
card on which the following was inscribed
in the handwriting of the suicide: 81 have
lost the bet. My debt is paid"
AS the gardener found out later, Daschow-
sky had kept his word and made known his
wish to his employer, but was refused and
threatened with instant dismissal if he ever
recurred to the subject again.

THE FIRE RECORD.

THE village of Castleton, near Colborne,
Ont, was nearly wiped out by fire Friday
night.
AT Mount Pleasant yesterday morning
Isaac Murphy's livery stable burned. Loss,
81 $50; no insurance.
An alarm of fire from station II, Allegheny,
was sent in last night at 9:iO O'Clock. From
a cause not yet known a fire originated in
the cellar OF an unoccupied house en- Adams
street, below Fulton street, Manchester.
The fire was extinguished in half an hour.
The loss is estimated al SO.
The telegraphic reports of the fire in the
Republic mine, Upper Michigan, have been
greatly exaggerated, it is said. 1t will
not be necessary to flood the mine. The
fire is confined to one shaft and cannot pos
sibiy communicate to other parts of the
mine, as there is no timber to carry it. The
superintendent hopes to have it clear of gas
and smoke and in working order by the end
of next week. The total damage will not ex-

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
HARRISBURG, July 25.-Although only
about l, 900 of the 1000 persons employed at
the Pennsylvania Steel Works before the
shutdown are at work, the officers of the
company seem confident of soon running in
full without making any concession to the
dissatisfied employees. Many of the men
who have ceased work are not financially pre-
pared for a long siege of idleness to bring
their company to terms, and this circum-
stance, it is hoped by the company and
feared by the Amalgamated Association,
will hurt the movement for increased pay.
A committee was in this city to-day col
lecting money for the alleged purpose OF
preventing the starvation of some of the
strikers families. Members of the Amalga-
mated Association stated that efforts have
been made to proselyte the striking Huns
and Poles, but they have proved abortive.
AS to the claim of the company that it has
], 200 men at work, they say an actual count
shows that, including officials, police and
deputies, the number reaches only 732. They
also claim that they are strengthened by
new recruits daily.
Major Bent, president of the company,
was interviewed as to the rumor that the
company had sent to Pittsburg for the ap-
pointing of another committee by the
association to present scale of the Anal
gamated Association. He smiled and said:
"It is not likely the company would do any,
thing like that. We need no such commit
tees; everything is going along, as you see,
as well as could be expected"
General Superintendent FELTON, denied
that any Pinkerton detectives had been EN-
ployed, as had been stated in some news
papers. A number of employees who are in
arrears for rent have been ordered to vacate
their houses within ten days.

DEs MONIES, July Pa well-laid plan
to kill the cashier of the American Savings
Bank and rob the vault of $500, 900 was dis
covered and frustrated to-day. The robbery
was arranged to take place next Monday at
$50 A. NJ, the hour when the safe is regu-
larly opened by Cashier Elliott. The
scheme was for one man to engage the
cashier in conversation. another to enter by
a side door, slip up behind and sandbag or
stab him, if necessary, while third fellow
took the rolls of money from the vault.
Two of the accused, James Dimmitt, a
colored tough, and Sam Cooper, real estate
dealer, were from Des Moines, and the
third is professional thief from Kansas
City. Cooper and Dimmitt are under ar
rest. A local newspaper man got into the
scheme by pretending to be a tough from
Missouri. Dimmitt has confessed his part
in the conspiracy and intended robbery.
Cooper is playing the insane dodge. A

whiteIey.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
SPRINGFIELD, O., July 25.-One of the
most important industrial deals of the year
was consummated here to-day. The East
street reaper works, the largest agricultural
implement works in the world, covering 46
acres, and ranking next in size to the Krupp
Gun Works in Prussia, was sold to a syndi-
cate of prominent capitalists of Cleveland,
Chicago and New York, to be used for the
manufacture of railway cars and supplies Of
all kinds.
The great works are monument to the
ambition of William n. Whiteley, the
famous Ohio "Reaper King" who deter
mined to build the largest reaper works in
the world. He put 81 800, 900 into buildings
and machinery, and the whole plant was to-
day sold by the receiver to the syndicate
for two-thirds the appraised price, OF $780,
900. The new company will be known as
the Central Car and Repair Manufacturing
Company, and will have capital of half
million. 1t will be started up in 60, days
with large force of hands and will be the
largest car works in the United States.
The building of the great works swampen
William n. Whiteley. He failed for S., ,000,-
600 and secured settlement at so cents on
the dollar four years ago. Bonds for this
amount were issued at low rate of inter-
est. He failed to pay interest, and the con-
cern was thrown into a receivership. Since
that time the works have been idle and
vast amount of litigation was engaged in by
creditors, consisting mostly of bankers and
that these bonds are largely held in Boston,
Cincinnati, Pittsburg and other cities
The 100000 realized by the sale will be
applied to paying the debts of the concern,
but there will not be much to go around
when lawyers fees and other expenses are
paid

They Cannot Indorse the Principles of the
New Peoples Party.
KANSAS CITY, July 25.-The Star this
evening published an interesting collection
of interviews with leading and prominent
Democrats throughout Kansas relative to
the expediency of fusion of the Democracy
of the State with the Peoples party. The
persons interviewed represent every faction
in the Democratic party of the State, and
the result shows a remarkable unanimity of
sentiment against such step, and in favor
of an independent Democratic campaign.
The feeling that the cost of such ooali-
tion would greatly outweight the advan-
tages is very general 1t is contended that
the benefits would be of temporary char
acter, and would not justify the sacrifice of
principles which would be necessary. There
is very little sympathy expressed for the
financial schemes proposed BY the Farmers
Alliance, which is, in fact, the dominating
factor of the Peoples party in Kansas
