of the First Georgia regiment putting all
the companies Of that regiment under
arms, ready to be sent forward
at q moments notice. Large bodies
of armed Populists are reported to be
camping near here and are expected
early in the morning. 1t was the
knowledge of this that caused the re-
auest for the militia to be sent to the
governor. The memhera OF tbs Irving
guard, local company, and other com.
panies of the First regiment are sleeping
on their arms tonight. Conservative
citizens say that there will be no trouble,

VICTORIA, B. c., July 19.-Rev. A..
r. Reams, who was released yesterday
before second warrant could be issued
for his arrest. seems to have made
his escape. 1t is said he bought
some bread and canned salmon last
night and was seen wandering
about the water front. It is also re-
ported that he was driven out of the city
disguised. Another warrant for his ar
rest was'issued last night on the charge
of abducting Lucy Rucker, under 1S
years of age, "for immoral purposes. +"
The latter words constitute the ma
terial difference between the old
and new warrants. The police have
located Reams' 14-year-old son
here. He is being cared for by persons
in the city and is ignorant of his faith
er's whereabouts. Reams had but lit
tie money. He left but $50 with the
Jail warden who has the money and
Reams' clothing yet. 1t is believed

The Cereal Is Bound TO Command
Higher Prices.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 19.-The Journal
of Agriculture, of this city, treating
editorislly on the condition of the PRES
ent wheat crop and the probable ad-
vance in prices, says the best American
and European authorities agree that the
worlds deficiency will be at least 100,-
100000 bushels. The most reliable fig
ures now place the total American crop
of 1893 at about 3S3,000,000 bushels,
which added to the surplus carried over,
will make less than 400, ,000,0 600 bushels.
England will want probably 250 ZOO, 900
bushels, and the home trade needs
$4,000, 900 bushels. The Journal be-
lieves, in view of the fact that the
American crop is 10000. 900 bushels
short, as compared with last year, and
as Europe with a short crop ie now
grabbing up American wheat as fast as
1t can without attracting too much at
tention, the time has come when the
American farmer should not sell
bushel OF wheat at the present prices.

rRyoN's FATAL ORDERS.
Kear-Admtral Markham Testifles % to

kear-Admtra1 Markham Testifles - to
tho Victoria Disaster.
VALETTA, July 10. - Rear-Admiral
Markham of the Camperdown was the
first witness today before the court
martial investigating the Victoria
Csmperdown disaster. His official dis
patches to the admiralty court reporting
the fact and details of the disaster were
read, and he stated he had nothing to
add to them.
When the signal of Vice-Admiral
Tryon was hoisted on the Victoria or
dering q six cable lengths distance, Rear
Admiral Markham said to his flag lieu
tenant: "That is impossible since 1t is
an impfacticable maneuver." The wit
ness said, after further consultation
with the flag lieutenant, the conclusion
was reached that the Victoria would
ease her helm and circle round on the
outside OF the division which was being
led by the Oamperdown. Had this as-
sumption been founded on faot, the
maneuver would have been attended by
no danger. The rear-admiral stated he
wxs congnisant of Vice-Admiral Tryon' q
memorandum in regard to discretionary
obedience OF orders when strict obedi-
ence would entail disaster. When the
signal flying on the Victoria was hauled
down the Camperdown was powerless
to avoid collision.
Rear Admiral Markham also said II
his orders to go full speed astsrn had
been obeyed the damage inflicted ON the
Victoria would not have been 80 great.
When questioned as to hts placing two
ruaapinoa IN tha aiunal ha aaid tho
other captains of the feet answered the
signal, and they Interpreted In the same
way ne did. II am sure I could have
done nothing to prevent the collision
after the Victoria and Oamperdown had
turned with their bows to each other.
If had gone astern with both screws
the Edinburgh would have rammed
me-"
The rear admiral said he had never
seen the manevver performed before.
Captain Johnstone of the Camperdown
and Flag Lieutenant Bradshaw corrob-
grated the rear admiral's testimony.

United States Court the grand jury, which
was r. Sdy TO take IL hand the Sc new and
most important bills against others than

Gate city Bank will reopen within the
next few weeks.
