FOREIGN DEMAND FOR FLOUR,
TAis,Says r Mill Man, viii Use Up Our Enor-
nous Crop.

Horace A. Deardorf,a prominent business
man of Philadelphia, was in Pittsburg last
night. He will be remembered here by
young men who were active in CAV goings-
on about town 25 years ago. Mr. Deardorf
is member of the Isaac Harter Milling
Company, located at Fostoria, O., with
branch Offices in the Quaker City. Secre-
tary of the Treasury Charlie Foster is also
stockholder in this large concern.
The gentleman is extremely we'll in
formed on the wheat market Of the world,
and on this subject said:
''The wheat crop of 1891 was something
enormous and unprecedented. Statisticians
place the minimum figure at $50, 600. 600
bushels, while the maximum amount har-
vested was 612,0G0, 0OO Notwithstanding
this, l predict higher prices for wheat, or,
in other words, -four. The United States
uses so, 900, 900 bushels alone in different
ways. The remainder is shipped to foreign
markets. Still, with all the incidental ex-
penses attendant upon the shipment of
four-freight, moving, storage, etc.-you
wouldn't believe that bread is cheaper in
London shops than in Piitsburs. But it is
so. The English Government does not al
low any imposition On the poor people, and
it has law which protects them-thev
must have bread. Wheat has declined Is
cents since harvesting, but this is no critic
rion that it will continue de-
pressed. Five months of the
''grain year" has already elapsed
and $50, 900, 900 bushels have been shipped
to foreign ports, Antwerp receiving the
bulk Of this amount. There are yet seven
months in which to dispose of the remainder,
and Europe will take every grain of it, be-
cause it needs it. In 1890 every grain
dealer was practically sold out, and very
little will be reserved by farmers and specu-
lators. In my twenty-five years of expert
ence in the business I note the fact that
wheat has been higher sixteen times and
lower nine times than at the present prices.
Europe, of course, has grist mills, but
there seems to be greater demand for our
American article. Germany prefers the
darkest and heaviest -four made while Eng
land and France want the white meal

A BABY MUMMY FOUND
In Gne of the ella Hot Spring Cham
bers Once Inhabited by the
CLIFF JEWELLERS OF NEW MEXICO.
The Addition to Archaeology Forwarded to
the smithsonian.
TIED TO. A BOARD LIKE A PAP00sE

! SILVER CITY, N. Mex, Jan. 15-
found in one of the chambers supposed
to have been inhabited by the cliff dwellers
near the Gila Hot Springs, in this county,
| have nst been sent to the Smithsonian In-
stitute at Washington.
The body is in an excellent state of
preservation, and is that of child about 4
years old. When found it was wrapped in
| clothes and bound to piece of wood about
two feet in length. The legs were drawn
up about in the position of child creeping,
and the forearms were raised so that the
hands were near the shoulders, with the
palms toward the front. The fists were
| tightly clenched
Like an Egyptian Mummy.
The body is very light, the flesh having
been thoroughly dried on the bones, and the
skin is very much shrunken. The body
closely resembles an Egyptian mummy ex-
cept in color The skin is a verv light
brown, perfectly smooth, and so well pre-
served that the pores can be distinctly seen.
The finger nails are perfect, and the teeth
were intact when it was discovered, but
these have been taken out. The nose, ears
and eyes are gone. and the skin is broken
on the right knee, and one of the wrists ex-
posed bones, sinews and dried flesh The
head is covered with fine, soft black haN,
about two inches long.
The body is no larger than that of we'll
developed infant 8 months of age, and is
very nearly round. The chamber in which
it was found is one Of large number near
the Gila Hot Springs, ali of which are hewn
out of the solid rock. Many of these cham
bers have been explored, but they are diff
cult of access, and a number of them have
never been entered by even the most reck-
less adventurers.
The Cha mbers Almost inaccessible.
Some of these chambers are so high up
in the cliffs that they cannot be reached by
ladders and are protected in such manner
by overhanging rocks that they cannot be
reached by ropes let down. from the top of
the cliff, and no one has vet been able to ex-
plain how the cliff-dwellers got into them.
There is no doubt that they were inhabited,
for in nearly every one of them have been
found either bows and arrows, stone ham,
mers, or corn, but the body which has just
been sent to Washington is, the first one
ever discovered in one of these chambers,
and, so far as is known, is the first one dis
covered which may reasonably be supposed
to be one of the extinct race of cliff dwell
ers.
The custom of wrapping up papooses and
fastening them to boards prevails among
the Indians to the present day, and was no
doubt in vogue among the cliff dwellers. 1t
is believed the child whose body was found
near the Gila Hot Springs was left in this
manner, and that for some reason no one
ever returned to it, and it died of starva-
tion.

PLAYERS SALARIES.
President Young Talks About Con-
tracts and Obligations.
ALI ASSIGNMENTS MUST STAND.
Considerable Surprise About the Policy of
the Local Ball Club.
ANOTHER GAME FOR MR.. STEINITz
,spvr1,1 TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - President
Young in discussing the question of salary
to be paid baseball players declared to-day
that the contracts made by the League and
American Association before the present
scheme was adopted would not be interfered
with under the new dispensation.
"We have been rushed with other busi-
ness" he continued, s'and have had neither
time nor inclination to discuss salaries of the
present or future. Every player now in the
twelve clubs of the League and American
Association of Professional Baseball Clubs
will receive promptly every penny that he
has been promised by the terms of his con-
tract. While the committee on assigning
players will not under any circumstances
make changes in the distribution of players
there cannot be anv objection on the part of
Mr.. Phelps and myself when clubs make
arrangements between themselves for cx-
changing or receiving players for their
teams.
Clubs Can Make Deals.
What suits the management of the or
CARNATIONS interested will be perfectly sat
isfactory to us, provided all the legal re-
quirements are fulfilled by both. Our duty
ended when, according to the provisions of
our agreement, we assigned 10 players to
each Of the u clubs comprised in the pres
ent organization"
There has Been considerable talk because
certain prominent PLAYERS have apparently
been relegated 10 minor leagues or OBJ
scured BY the action of our committee in
not giving them profitable assignment.
NY sole answer to that criticism must be
that the players in question were not asked
for, and nc other course remained for us
other than to accede to the wishes of those
who will be called upon to provide the
snews of war during the ensuing season.
There could only be 1S0 players contracted
for under
The Regulations Adopted
for the government of the new organization,
and club managers made such selections as
they deemed best and submitted them to us
for ratification. Under the circumstances
we could not act any different from what we
have done, even if seeming hard
ship has apparently been imposed upon
some tried and trusty ball players Con-
tracts will be in order from this time
forward, especially in view of the fact that
all PLAYERS held under American Asso-
citation terms will have to be engaged prop
erly again under the provisions of the new
laws adopted by the amalgamated organiza-
tions. All contracts made, however, before
the new corporation came into existence
will be respected by club managers, and we
do not anticipate any trouble from contract
jumpers"

cause he would not sign over his property.
Accompanied by Constable Patterson, of
this place, he went to the place of sale.

Constable from North Sewicklev township,

present. and Walker seemed to have their
sympathy. lie seized an ak and began
smashing in the doors, being heartily
cheered.
When the crowd began to divide in its
sympathy Constable Patterson mounted a
haystsck and made a speech. He was fol-
lowed in an able effort by Walker, who
mounted chicken-coop. The wife and sons
finally allowed the sale to go on. As re-
suit the old mans pigs sheep and imple-
ments were sold at the highest figures amid
the greatest good nature. The old man
netted neat sum, and the result of the trial
is Dow in doubt, as he was bv no means the
