POPULIsrs ARE JOYFUL.
Claiming Good Resuiss win Follow Jonss'
 Detection.


 Washington. Sept. 6.-Populists here are claiming that great results will follow in the western states from sena- tor Jones' detection from the republican party. They assert that idaho will go for the popuiists, but Senator Dubois denies this and also declares that neither himself nor any other western senator will follow Mir. Jones' exam pie.
 The other states which will elect sena- tors this fall and which. 1t Is claimed. will be more or less affected by the &C., ton of Senator Jones, are Colorado. Montana and Wyoming. It Is within the range of possibilities that all of these states may have legislatures con trolled by populists and that these may elect populist senators.
 The populists say that with the cleo ton of Tillman from South Carolina and such accessions to their ranks as seem to them now absolutely certain. they will hold the balance of power in the senate in future.

Presentation of Letter from President
 Cleveland to President Dole.
 San Francisco, Sept. 5.-The steamer Belgic arrived at midnight last night from Hong Kong, Yokohama and Hon. olulu. Everything is quiet at Honolulu.

 ''Mr. President, the right of the peo- pie of the Hawaiian Islands to estab- fish their own form of government has been formally acknowledged both by the executive and legislative depart ments of the United States It seems proper, therefore, so far as I, the dip lomatic agent, had the right to extend recognition to the republic of Hawaii, it having been created under the forms of law and existing without effective opposition. The action thus taken has, I am glad to state, been fully approved by the proper authorities at Washing ton. As the highest evidence of the fact, have received an autograph letter from the president of the United States addressed to you as the president of the republic. In delivering this letter as in- structed, permit me to join the friendly sentiments and to express the hope that through the government now inaugu- rated, peace, prosperity and happiness will be secured to all the people of these islands" He then presented the follow ing letter from MT. Cleveland:
 "Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, to His Excellency San- ford B. Dole, President of Hawaii:
 Great and Good Friend:-I have re- ceived your letter of the 7th ultimo, by which you announce the establishment and proclamation of the republic of Hawaii on the fourth day of July, 1894, and your assumption of the office of president with the formalities pre- scribed by the constitution therefor. I cordially reciprocate the sentiments you 6XpreSS 1OT IuG COulluuduCe OI IrlenOly relations which have existed between the United States and the Hawaiian islands, and assure you of my best wishes for your own personal prosperi- ty. a.....e ..sr
 Written at Washington the 7th day of August, 1894: "Your good friend,
 Grover Cleveland.
 By the President, w. o. Gresham, Secretary of State"
 In reply MT. Dole said: "Mr. Minister: It Is with sincere qualification that have received the information that the president of the United States has con- frmed the recognition so promptly ex- tended by your excellency to the re- public of Hawaii. Permit me, on behalf of the Hawaiian people, to reciprocate the friendly sentiments expressed by you toward this government and as- sure you of our desire that the rela- tions of comity and of commercial inter- course may ever exist between the two countries"
 The confirmation of the reported rec ognition has depressed the royalists. and the warmest of them now acknowl- edge that the cause of the queen is dead.

PRICES OF GRAIN.
They May Decline on the Completion of
Siberia'S Railroad.


Siberia's Railroad.
United States Consul General Jonas,
at st. Petersburg, in report to the de-
partment of state, points to the fact that
the early completion of the Siberian rail
road is likely to have depressing effect
upon the prices of grain throughout the
world. No reliable estimate can be
formed of the probable export of Siberian
grain to Europe by this road, and one
rough estimate placing it at 100000
bushels for the West Siberian section is
regarded as decidedly too low.
Moreover, the completion of the road is
expected to greatly stimulate the planting
of grain in the black soil belt, famous for
its fertility In 1889 the Siberian govern
ments produced a surplus of 30,000,0O0
bushels Of grain. To lessen the depress-
ing effect upon the local st. Petersburg
market of the expected thrush of Sibe
rian wheat, a new outlet is being pro-
vided by a line of railroad from Perm,
already connected with Western Siberia,
to Kotlas, on tie Dvina river, offering
an easy way to Archangel on the White
sea, whence the wheat can be exported
to other European countries.

Instances Where Persons Divine the

Recent experiments in the practical
utilization of telepathy or thought cast
ing have been made in Vienna by a
young woman and her sister, and it is re-
ported that scientific men have been puz-
zled at the accuracy with which one Sis

miles and without any possible chance
for collision.

One of the first demonstrations of tele

New York hotel during the war, and
who gave such exhibitions for their own
amusement and the amusement of their
friends They were about 80 years Of
age at that time and were slngularly con-
stituted. So strong was the tie of cQusan-
guinity that their minds appeared to run
in similar grooves, and when one fell i'll

that his brother should take Il certain
