The Western Wheat Crop Outlook.

The Farmers Review has received re-
ports from correspondents in u States
regarding the condition of winter wheat
The Review in a summary has this to
say: The condition Of winter wheat has
improved greatly in the last few days,
but will fall far short of good crtp.-
In Illinois the Improvement is very no.
ticeable, but so much of the area of
wheat his BEEN destroyed that some
counties will get little benefit from the
improvement. Some correspondents re-
port that nine-tenths of the wheat acre
age in their localities has been abandon
ed. The improvement has continued in
Indiana and Ohio. In the latter State
the outlook is good. Little change is
seen in the condition of wheat in Michi-
gan, but in Kentucky the improvement
is marked. and good crop is assured
In Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska con-
ditions are still adverse. though there
has been Improvement in some localities

The reduction in the rates of foreign
exchange below the gold shipping point
has caused sharp decline in tie price
of wheat, and this in turn has started a
larger export movement, which, from all
appearances, is likely to assume still
more important proportions. This is of
advantage in several ways. and will at
least largely aid in checking further
gold exports, and may start flow from
Europe this way.

THE SEALING FLEET,
Anxiety to Know What This Govern
ment Will Do.


The President and Secretary Gresham
have within the past week received several
letters from prominent merchants on the
Pacific coast making inquiry as to what
action has been taken by this government
to carry out the provisions of the Paris
tribunal in the Boring sea case A repre-
sentative of these commercial interests had
an interview with Secretary Gresham yes
terday. in which he urged immediate action
by this government. He stated that the
fleet of schooners that infest Boring sea
during the sealing season rendezvoused at
Victoria, b. c., are already preparing for
next years work, and some are already on
their way to San Francisco to lay in their
supplies of provisions. ammunition and nets.
The Boring sea sealing feet is composed of
about l50 of the finest schooners afioat, en-
ploying from twenty TO fifty men each and
carrying from five to twenty small boats
Tor sealing purposes. The amount of mon
ey tied up in them is very large and the un-
certainty as to next years operations is
giving much concern to those engaged in
commercial and marine trade on the Pacific
coast.
So far as known no action has been taken
by this government to obtain concurrence of
other governments to the Boring sea agree
ment, and without such concurrence IN is
said that Boring sea will be thrown omen 10
the vessels OF all other nations except the
United States and Great Britain and the
preservation of seal life and the United
States property interests in the seals de-
stroyed without benefit to this government
IL Is also pointed out that unless the con-
currence of other nations is obtained the
probabilities are very strong that the YES
sells which this year fioated the stars and
stripes and the Union jack will next year
sail under the flags of Germany, France.

FIRE ESCAPES LACKING.
Why There Was So Much Loss of Life
at Memphis.


MEMPHIS. Tenn. Nov. 14-The wetter
building, a five-story structure occupied by
the Schmalzreld Hardware Company, the
Young Mems Christian Association and the
Pythian Journal newspaper. was Quilted by
fire last night. Three adjoining buildings
were damaged by fire and water, bringing
the total loss up to nearly $1,000 Several
persons are believed to have been burned
to death. Four persons will die from in
juries received in jumping to escape the
flames, while dozen or more were injured
in making hasty exit.
c. r. White was talking to Secretary
Perkins when the fire was discovered. He
made a dash for the Main street exit. but
found the flames coming up the stairway,
and fled to the rear of the building. They
both leaped from the window and sustained
injuries which will prove fatal. Although
he was suffering fearfuly, White was per-
fectly rational and talked freely when seen
by reporter for the United Press at the
hospital about an hour after the fire.
1.-The absence of fire escapes Vas respon-
sible for the people jumping" said he "A
young man named Burrows caught "a wire
or piece of pipe and succeeded IN reach
ing the ground with only a few bruises but
the others that / saw were all injured.
There were two or three people in the back
rooms, six or seven in the library and sew
eral more in the gymnasium. There was an
old man with white hair in the front room
and boy about thirteen years of age in
the rear l did not see them jump and
am afraid that they persisted in the flames "
Frank Monteverde. bookiseeper and part
owner. and John Ringwald, cashier of the
SchmalZreid House, were the only persons
in the store when the fire started. They
related their story together to United
Press reporter.
I'VE were alone in the counting room in
the rear of the building. We were post
ing the books, preparatory to leaving for
the night.
In the front of the store stood a lighted
coal oil lamp. 1t stood on a desk near the
front show window and about five feet from
the thin partition separating the store from
the stairway leading to the rooms above
suddenly We heard an explosion, and, look
ing to the front of the store whence the
sound came, saw that the lamp had eX-
cred the floor and were climbing the parti-
ton alongside the stairway. We hurried
to get out and had hard job to escape
unScathed.
OF course we did not know whether or
not there were people in the upper stories
If there were they had a hard job to es-
cape and many may have persisted miser-
ably"

THE THREE NEW GUNBOATS.
The Newport News ShipbuildlnE Co.
to Probably Get the Contract.

The award Of the contract for the con-
structon of the three new naval gunboats
to the Newport News Shipbuilding Company
is almost a foregone conclusion. The naval
board to which the bids were referred has
recommended that action, and Secretary
Herbert is known to favor it. The bid of
the Newport News Company was the low
est one received, and the department is sat
isfied that it possesses the facilities for the
work. 1t is a source of great salts
faction to naval officials that where
as a dozen years ago there was not
single establishment in the country
capable of constructing a steel war vessel
there are now complete plants for such
work at Philadelphia, San Francisco, Balti-

1t is said that the President will in a

Bolivia and Mr.. Astwood as consul TO
Calais, France. notwithstanding the Senate
failed to confirm the nomination OF the
former and rejected that of the latter At

been almost a daily visitor at the White
House and the State Department ever since
the adjournment of Congress and MIR. Asst

that he is going to San Domingo TO settle
his private affairs and TO prepare for a
prolonged stay at Calais If he is commits
