Price Advancing Fifteen to Eighteen
Cents per Bushel.
TACOMA, Wash, May 1S.-Grain
men here say that English ship
owners have cornered the wheat
ships on the Pacific coast. There
Is a scheme to hold the wheat ships
In port" said Phil r. Kershaw, OF
the West Coast Grain company,
until the charters OF the vessels
run up to an outrageous figure, and
then get wheat to load at fancy
prices. We, on the Pacific coast,
are at the mercy Of the owners OF
English vessels, who have cor
nered the ships at San Francisco
and on Puget Sound, besides char
tering all the English vessels head
ed this way.
"ln Chicago and Liverpool, wheat
has advanced from fifteen to eigh-
teen cents per bushel. The man.
ayers OF this corner propose to rake
of all the benefits to be derived
from the advance in wheat. They
propose to make profit Of twelve
to fifteen cents per bushel on the
advance, while the wheat raiser
and dealer are to get but two or
three cents per bushel."
81 have already advised my
clients to get together and arrange
at once with the railroads to give
reasonable rate on wheat ship
ments by rail to Chicago. II this
can be done, it will break the back
OF the corner on Ships"

Presbyterian General Assembly.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 1S.-When
the Presbyterian general assembly
convened today the first quarter
hour was given to miscellaneous
business, and at that point the floor
was again accorded to Mckinney,
whose speech last night on the pro-
posed control Of seminaries was
interrupted by adjournment. His
argument concerned the objection
that the plan proposed will act as
barrier to the union with the
southern Presbyterian church, and
the speaker claimed that church
had taken more extreme action
than that now under consideration
The speaker proceeded to consider
the attitude Of the seminaries and
regretted their unwillingness or in
disposition to do what the last
assembly suggested and urged by
an overwhelming vote. He closed
with plea for larger majority in
favor of the committees recon-
mendations.
Hon. F. E. White, Of Columbus
the new president Of the board OF
directors Of Lane seminary, was
granted the floor. He asked that
the assembly come to a clear un.
derstanding Of the condition OF
affairs. He urged that the last
assembly had sent down overtures
to the seminary directors, and that
the answers which have come back
should be regarded as final and
conclusive, and that they should be
treated with respect.

eve desire to say that if the peo-

that complete restoration of sill

Injustice to any class, regardless of
its local effects in this western re-
gion, they would at once and for
ever abandon their demands. The
greatest good to the greatest mum.
ber' Is their motto, and it is in this
spirit that they, irrespective OF
party affiliations, present them
selves, almost as a unit, demand
ing the free coinage Of silver and
gold, at a ratio of sixteen ounces
OF silver to one ounce of gold. with
full legal tender functions accord
ed to each and no discrimination

l CONGRESSIONAL BLUNDER.
Marshals and Witnesses Without
Wages or Fees and in Actual
Want of the Means
nf Lining

of Living.
NEW YORK, May lS.-The fail
ure Of Congress to make sufficient
appropriation for the department
of Justice has seriously affected the
Federal courts in this city. The
deputy United States marsh ais
whose wages are several months in
arrears, and whose families are in
actual want, have decided to send
a petition to President Cleveland,
asking him to present their case to
Attorney General Olney, with a
view to having special measures
taken for their relief during the
months they will have to wait be-
fore Congress can pass a deficiency
appropriation. Nine witnesses, who
appeared before Judge Benedict in
the trial of John Fitzgerald for as
sault on the high seas, have applied
to United States Marshal mccarthy
for their witness fees. They have
been told there was no money in
the Office with which to pay them,
and that it might be year before
they could be paid. The men were
all sailors, and were detained thir-
ty.nine days in the Ludlow street
jail as witnesses. They had not a
cent of money in their pockets and
did not know what to do until they
could get another ship. A number
of other witnesses, among whom
were three city policemen, met a
similar disappointment.

The Rebels are Talking Now.

NEW YORK, May 18.--A special
from Santiago De Cuba says: The
instruction grows with tremen-
dous strides. General Martinez
Campos has changed his mind
about ending the trouble in three
months. The chiefs are greatly
elated over the the progress of the
revolution. They say more
has been accomplished in the last
month than during the first five
years OF the last war. They de-
clare this war will not last more
than two years and may be termin-
ated in a very much shorter time,
if the people of the other provinces
do what is expected Of them. The
original plan for a simultaneous
rising in all parts Of the island
failed and the plan now ia to extend
the wave OF revolution westward,
sweeping the Spaniards before it
until all Cuba is in arms.

MARCHED INTO AN AMBUSH.
Lieut.. Col. Bosch Shot, But the
Troops Held Their Own aud
the Insurgents Were
Routed.

NEW YORK, May IS.-A special
to the World from Havana, Cuba,
says: The engagement at Jovito
affords a good example Of the
methods of fighting which the
Cuban insurgents have adopted.
The combined bands Of Periqui-
to, Orrez, Mito, Bonnie, Caratagena
and Garzon lay in ambush in the
woods and suddenly attacked
Lieut.. Col. Bosch on the march
with a part Of his regiment, the
lighting Rimancias." Lieut.. Col.
Bosch, the surgeon and another
officer at the head Of the column
fell at the first fire. Spanish SOL
diers under orders got under cover
and firing was kept up all day.
The position chosen by the soldiers
was strong and the MAJOR was able
to place his vastly superior force
in cover. The Spanish authorities
assert that Maceo actually had
5000 men. The portion OF the
Rimancias regiment numbered 400
only. After desultory firing had
continued the entire day detach-
ment of the volunteer cavalry
formed in Guanantomo by Major
Gerrino, made vigorous attack
on the insurgents, striking them
on the flank. This concerted Gen.
Maceo's men as the Cubans seem
unable to meet sudden change in
the situation. This was shown at
Cristo, when the pilot engine ahead
of a train with soldiers upset the
insurgents plan of attack. Major
Garrido's squadron drove the in
surgents from their sheltered posi-
ton, with considerable loss. The
number Of killed is uncertain. A
Spanish regiment from Porto Rico,
which has just arrived at Santiago
was dispatched in haste to Guatan-
no. The Maceo s it is said probab-
ly have changed their plans. This
loss OF Lieut.. Col. Bosch is unfor-
tunate for the Spanish.
