AN Indiana Farmer Brings Suit Based ON
Democratic Promises.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-A special dis
patch from Indianapolis says that Will
lam Stanley, a farmer of Pendleton,
Ind., is preparing to sue Congressman
Bynum of Indiana for $1,000 During
the last presidential campaign Stanley
heard Mr.. Bynum deliver a speech In
which he said that il the Democratic
ticket was successful wheat would be
worth $1.25 per bushel. Stanley went
home and sowed wheat extensively and
raised crop of 1000 bushels. This, he
declares, he has been compelled to sell
at different prices between 45 and so
cents per bushel. He will sue the con-
gresham for the difference between
what he realized and what he would
have received had the congressman's
assertions, on the strength Of which he
was led TO sow 50 much wheat, been
verified.

LONDON, Aug. a0.--The Field gives
prominence to d violent letter against
the Vigilant which is said TO be true
reflection of English comments heard
on every side, but which have not ret
appeared i'm print. The writer OF the
letter says international courtesy has
been overdone, especially as in his view
this courtesy il not reciprocated. It is
asserted that the Americas cup was de-
tended by construction which In no
way conformed to the English idea of d
yacht and that shifting ballast Was
used during the races. The letter
then reoounts certain alleged violation
By the vigilant Of English yacht racing
rules, as CO wooden bulkneads, hftings,
etc., and says that the Vigilant was not
measured 'suntil British patience was
exhausted.
The writer IN Field asks IL the Wig
liant is to be allowed TO break every
rule with san empty shell for 8 hull,
which il ineligible to compete with
racing yachts. and with crew of
Norsemen and English sailors. In
conclusion, tho Vigiiantss critic re-
marks that Britiahers boast lin their
national pride - British ship not y

The new tariff, IL signed by the presi-
dent as expected, provides definite
basis for business. No supplemental
legislation IL thought possible until next
year at least. Large Improvement has
been expected from any settlement, the
more because Of q vast amount Of busi-
mess deferred from week to week In the
hope Of more definite conditions. The
rush Of such business, o9dsven . part Of

mended to Bishop Fink that the paro-
