Pioneer Press, q: H. d. Porteous, d
Liverpool -four merchant, was a guest at
the West yesterday and has gone to Du-
luth. He has been In this country for a
month looking up the prospects for his
business and is now on the return, ex-
pecting to sail from New York next
week.
Before coming TO Minneapolis, Mr..
Porteous spent considerable time in the
winter wheat states. He says that Sec
ton including St. Louis will have prac-
tically no -four TO ship because it will
have no more wheat than is required for
home consumption. Kansas, according
to the Liverpool man, will have to i'm
port wheat from other states, aud Mr..
Porteous says jokingly that the Kansas
millers are going to get their wheat
from Russia this season..
~ expect dollar wheat" said MI. Por-
teous to the Pioneer Press last evening.
II u a bull; I would rather be a bull
and be poor than to be a bear and be
rich. That is my philosophy. Prices
are not going to be very much better in
England for a while; We were fearfully
overstocked for several years, but when
our supply begins to dwindle prices will
20 up. Our local crop will be short
100000 quarters and France will be
short three times as much. The supply
from the Argentine was a million short,
and il the wheat does not come from the
United States l don't know where it
will come from. There will be an i'm
Q importation from this country if
the prices do not go too high"
Mr.. Porteous predicts a great exporta.
ton OF corn. He says the forage crop Of
England was very short and FraLce will
bs in a like fix. This, with the immense
crop of corn all over the Corn section,
will result in a greater use OF that cereal
in Europe than ever before. ,

San FRANCISCO, Dec. 10. Irving NJ.
Scott, vice president and general man
ager of the Union lrOnWOrkS, who has
built some Of the best war ships in the
navy, expressed tn belief that although
the present strength Of the navy is not
great, there could b. eXtempcrized a
sufficient tiget to enable the United
States TO maintain the prestige Of the
flag. Confirming. he gave III detail the
number of vCs1'4S now ready and those
which could be readily prepared for
war, saying:
We can count on 81 how ready, be-
sides s turrett"d monitors, 6 gun boats
and : battleShips now being built, max
ing a total Of -.
Thirteep of the Old Monitors.
Then there are - of the old Ericsson
monitors that could be put in prepara-
ton by having their turret arrangement
removed and two S-inch appearing and
disappearing guns placed in a barbette
in the hold, making them very formid-
able vessels in the defense of our bays
and harbors.
Five of those turretted vessels being
completed just at the end of the Civil
war. We're never finished-the Mento.

necessary to furnish them with guns.

President Cleveland's special
message

President Cleveland's special message
TO congress on the Venezuelan question
has garoused a wonderfully bellicose
spirit in the disposition Of the American
people. The majority take it as a dec
~laratlon Of war and are ready for fight
One congressman has even in troduced a
bill to appropriate money for war
measures, and the whole country Is boil

called patriotism where there is nothing

only "A sentiment on which ali our talk

be made so if we 60 to war and win

He asks that a commission be first APP
pointed to find out what there Is to the
fuss. The American people may rest
assured there will be no war between
this country and Great Britain when
once both sides know what they are To-
ing. and the president is wise in sug-
gesting that we first find out what is the
bottom Of the trouble. This would
have been the statesmanllke way Of 60

spirit that may never be needed to draw

Could Run II Protected.

The officials Of the company declare
that they have plenty Of men to run
the cars If they Il get protection for
them. On the other hand the strikers
declare that enough skilled men to take
their places cannot be found.
The strike has proven 4 windfall Of
considerable magnitude TO the single
independent line N the city, which re-
sisted the pressure when the big COnsOl-
idatIOn of all the other lines was re-
Gently effected. The company runs its
cars to West Philadelphia on Arch and
Vine streets, and III its endeavor to ac-
commodate all the people who wish to
patronize it, have pressed into service
every summer car and even resurrected
some which had been permanently sent
to the hospital. Every car is packed to
the roof, and the officials contemplate
the situation with an alarming degree
Of satisfaction.

There Are Very Few Cars Run
ming on Any Of the Union
Traction Lines,
Though the Company Claims to
HAVE Plenty Of Men If
Protected.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. l9.-The second
day Of the big strike Of employees of the
Union Traction company opens with
the situation practically unchanged as
far as the running of cars is concerned.
All the branches are in effect tied up,
although cars with formidable escorts
Of police have made their circuit of
nearly every one of them without
moleStation. While this enables the
officials to declare that the lines are
''open' it does not help the situation
much, a. far as the convenience of the
riding public is concerned. There have
perhaps been more cars ON Chestnut
street than any other thoroughfare in
the city.
Treated to an Extraordinary Spectacle.
At irregular intervals the immense
c~oncourse of pedestrians which the
strike has forced onto that always
crowded street nave been treated to the
extraordinary spectacle Of a trolley car
moving slowly down the street, pre-
coded and followed by four mounted po-
licemen and carrying N the front and
rear platforms an aggregate Of five po-
licemen. Each officer is armed with a
heavy oak night stick. The chances
are that in addition to this array, the
mOtorman or conductor is a deputy
marshal, wearing, pinned under his coat
the star which denotes his authority,
as many deputies are said to be running
cars. Up to the hour Of writing this

street, and all of them We're escorted IL
the manner described above.
There Are Very Fc:v Passengers,
as the cars proceed SO slowly that walk
ing is preferable. Fortunately for the
pedestrians, the weather is beautiful.
The sun shines brightly and the air is
as balmy as on a spring day.
Mayor Warwick and Director of Pub
lie Safety Better, who spent the night
in their offices in the city hall, ready
for any emergency which might arise,
reported with an evident air of relief,
that reports from all sections of the
city are to the effect that everything
is quiet. This condition is, with
ont doubt, due in a large meas,
ure to the determined stand
taken by the mayor, when he served
notice that it was no longer a fight be-
tween the traction company and the
strikers, but a battle between the city
and mob violence, and that the city
would win. To this end
Nearly . Thousand Extra Police
were sworn in, the men being picked

military Training IN the schools.

From the Doylestown Intelligencer.
The project to introduce military train
ing into the public schools Ia a bad
mistake Ia this end OF the nineteenth
century Ia the matter OF religious
onviotion various societies have testi-
monies against all tr2ining that tends to
the cultivation Of warlike taste or
knowledge These people have the same
rights in the public schools as other
citizens, and the schools should not thus
be permitted to become practically closed
10 these conscientious citizens We
permit and encourage nosecterian teach
log In schools, and there should equally
BE- nothing offensive 60 the relil ious views
OF the people in the course OF study or
raining Again, military drill Is not 50
universally useful as TO merit place In
the curriculum Of the public school. 80
far % the drill discipline aud exercise
are concerned these ends may and should
be equally attained 10 other ways
