Berlin.
Tho Ukass Creates Great onsternation In
All European Centers-American
Farmers Are the Masters.

LONDON. Aug. 12.-NeArly all Europe has
been aroused by the ukase of tho cznr to
prohibit the expectation of rye and rye
meal from Russia. In consequence all
grains and potatoes have largely advanced
in price at Berlin, and famine is feared in
manv places. East Prussia was almost en-
tirelv dependent upon Russian supplies,
while 80 per cent. of foreign rye to be i'm
ported into Germany this year was sx-
peeted to come from Russia and cannot be
replaced by any other country. The En-
glish newspapers are much disturbed over
tho matter, and the general feeling is that
although Great Britain will not be affected
to such extent as Germany and Austria, sho
will inevitably suffer to great degree from
prohibition. A further and rapid increase in
prices OF breadstuffs must be expected in
Berlin. This will greatly strengthen the
agitation conducted by the leaders of the
freisinniRe party and promises to augment
the opposition to the government. Rus
sian finances will also suffer from the pro-
hibition.
Berlin dispatches state that the ukase
created a tremendous sensation, being a
great surprise to grain dealers. There ia
gome dispute there as to the time the ukase
will go into eject, although the dete ia

the action OF Russia. says it is reassuring to
learn that the crops promise yield of nm
exceptionally large harvest. Farmers of
America, the paper declares. are masters of
the situation, and it is to be hoped that
they will use their strength mercifulIy
Making corners IN the neoessaries of life is

Job Davis write often and declared that in
his judgement the writing of the contested

Mrs. Ellen Cornue, the favorite niece of A.
j. Davis, and sister of Henry A. Root, said
she was we'll acquainted with the writing of
A. j. Davis and had been in correspondence
with him since she was school girl. She
was with him when he died. The witness
examined the signature OF A, j. Davis on
the contested will and did not think her
uncle wrote it. A. X. Stanton knew Judge
Davis and had often seen him write. He
thought the alleged signature of A. j. Davis
ON the contested will was never written by

A MILL AT SPOKANE.
Donner, With One Arm Broken, Smashed
the Referee.


SPOKANE. Aug. 12.-ISpecial. PROF. J.
+. Donner, middleweight wrestler and pu-
gilist, we'll known in Washington, Idaho.
Montana and Minnesota, and Ed Cuffe, of
Seattle, fought to finish in the rooms of
the Spokane Athletic club tonight.
Donner weighed 15O pounds and
Cutie was at least fifteen pounds
heavier. John s. Barnes was referee.
Cuffe knocked Donner out in the eigh-
teenth round. Donner broke ono of the
bones of his left wrist in the third round,
and therefore fought entirely on the defen-
sive. He informed the crowd that his arm
was broken. but that he was no quitter. In
the twelfth round Donner sent Cuffe
down with a right-hander on the
jaw, and Cuffe rolled over in a dazed
condition unable to rise. Referee Barnes
caught Donner and held him to prevent
him from striking Cuffe when he should
rise. This 40 angered Donner that he hit
Barnes in the jaw, knocking him against
the ropes This action on the part
of the referee spoiled Donner's only
chance of finishing CUTIE. In tho
thirteenth round Cuffe hit Donner
when he was down and followed him into
his corner after time was called and struck
him repeatedly. Barnes refused to allow
the claims offouls. Cuffe knocked Donner
down repeatedly in the sixteenth and seven
teenth rounds, and in the eighteenth
knocked him out with right-hander on
the jaw. The fight was awarded to Cuffe.

Jail in this city. The matter was worked
into quite a fever heat, and after being
buried quite a while, the dead man was
eXhumed, and Undertaken L. r. Reder,
being the only man who had the instru-
ments to do so, was ordered TO take out
his heart, liver and stomach and other
parts and embalm them, which be did.
This was done under the first county
board appointed, and when ". ;. Winter
stein was coroner, and as near as We can
learn, the exhuming of the body and
taking out the Intervals was ordered
by the commissioners. The mistake that
was made was in Coroner Winterstein
packing up the entrails and shipping them
to Kansas City for chemical examination
without knowing whether 1t would cost
one or one thousand dollars. No order
was ever given the coroner by the COM
missioners 10 do this, hence the bill is not
legal. But further the chemist, DIR. Hunt
er, has withheld his report, and would
not give it until he was paid the $780, and
so no benefit was ever had from his ser
vices. The parties accused of the poisoning
have long since left for parts unknown,
and there is no further need of any evil
dence against them. The county commits
sioners should pay none but legal bills,
and this is not one Of them. The wife aud
father of the dead man still live on the

Or any one else Will ever know whether
