The Cuban Forces.

New Orleans Times-Democrat
At last we are in position to compare
with each other the forces of insurgents
and of loyalists now in the field, and the
comparison makes it almost wonderful
that the insurgents have made the head
way which they have made. Gen. Maxi
mo Gomez, in Camaguey, has under his
command about 500 men, and with these
he has been operating successfully in the
middle of the island, holding the Span
iards from the Havana direction at bay
and extending the insurrection into the
more western parts of the island. Gen.
Antonio Maceo, further east in the San
tiago direction, has all told under his
command an army of $500 men; and the
aggregate forces of the insurgents there
fore amount to- the very respectable total
of between $4,000 and 10000 men. Not
more than one-half of Maceo's troops,
however. are sufficiently armed although
they are said to be in a fine state of drill
and discipline.
General Campos has, to oppose these
forces, the following army in the field:
Infantry, $4,000: cavalry, 1856; artillery,
1853: engineers, 1415; marines, 200; police,
97s; civic guards, 4400: guerrillas. 1152;
total. 1922; and when the extra 80 900 or
40. 900 men arrive from Spain he will have
at the least anaarmy of 10000 with which
to enter upon the campaign, which so far
he has failed to inaugurate.

Holding Their Wheat.

MINNEAPOLIS, October 14.-There is
no doubt that northwestern farmers
are holding back their wheat on sc-
count Of low prices, and marketing
their coarse grain instead. For several
days past the receipts of wheat in this
market have fallen below those of last
year. Receivers say that offerings are
daily growing lighter, and daily sales
here support the statement.
On the other hand there has been
more than corresponding increase in
coarse grains, though of course the
daily reports of car inspection do not
show as large a total for all grain re-
ceipts.
OF course it. is not reasonable to fol-
low the wheat movement will continue
relatively small for any length of time.
Farmers who are sverse to selling their
wheat for ruling prices and have coarse
grains to sell, will send the latter to
market now and hold the wheat for the
reason that the coarse grains command
relatively much higher values In this
market than wheat.

The Kansas Corn Crop.

AToHIsoN, Kss., October 13.-The
grain men of Atchison and northern
Kansas do not share with Secretary
Coburn Of the State Board of Agricul-
ture, in his pessimistic view of the
corn crop Of Kansas. Maj. s. r.
Washer, who has been in the grain and
elevator business for twenty-five years,
expresses the decided opinion that the
crop of 1895 will far exceed that Of any
previous year, and that the States
surplus will more than supply the gov
ernment's demand for export purposes.
f. M. Baker, who is regarded as first
class authority, and who has recently
visited almost every section Of the
State, in the interest of his thirty or
forty elevators, believes that the gov
ernment's and Secretary Coburn's esti-
mates of the States crop are far below
the actual figures, and expresses the
positive opinion that this years crop
Is the largest in the history of Kansas.

perience in Kentucky.
To illustrate how naturally some
Kentuckians seize an opportunity to
make speech, I recall an incident
that happened in the Legislature in
1880, when Charles Stewart Parnell
was invited by the General Assembly
to visit Frankfort. A member was
selected by the General Assembly to
present him to the House and Senate,
and it was distinctly announced by the
committee that no other speech would
be allowed in joint meeting.
The Speaker of the House, a worthy,
ambitious man, was in the chair. AS
Mr.. Psrnell, leaning on the arm of
Governor Luke P. Blackburn, entered
the door of the hall, our spokesman
met them, and turning to the Speaker
and the large and distinguished assem-
bly,, formally presented Mr.. Parnell,
stating his official position, the praise
worthy motive that brought him to
America and bis plans for the relief Of
Ireland, then afflicted by famine. Our
sympathy for him and his country was
expressed in earnest and glowing
terms. After speaking five minutes
the spokesman, according to lnstruc-
tions, escorted him to the Speakers
desk, it having been agreed that Mr..
Parnell should at once address the
Assembly, but before he could open
his mouth, the Speaker Unexpectedly
rushed into speech, saying: "Ladies
and gentlemen, 1 have the honor to
present Mr.. Cornell. TO set the gen.
tlemsn right, Mr.. Psrnell whispered
his name, and the Speaker, correcting
himself, proceeded): He is distin-
guished member of the English Parlis-
ment, and no name is more beloved in
Ireland than that of Mr.. Cornell.
Again Mr.. Psrnell whispered the right
name, and the Speaker, correcting the
mistake, proceeded); l am sure you
will recall this day in after years with
delight, and that favorable report of
your courtesy will be carried back to
Erin and to England by our distin-
guished guest. In our homes his
coming has been discussed with SYM

Thirteen hundred persons, including

Dartmouth men played so well and
their team work was so much above the
