A curious incident occurred at Ascot

They buzzed and buzzed everywhere.
Ladies had bees in their bonnets and
gentlemen found their hats turned into
striking likenesses Of Catch h-'em-alive-

Roseburg Review: After all the
0regonian's talk about Mayor PEN
noyer "Bryanizing" the Portland
police force, it is known now that
for the first time in many years
the police were kept out of politics
and the toughest wards in the
north end of the city gave Nc
Kinley majorities. Special deputy
sheriffs recruited among the thugs
of Portland did considerable dirty
work, hut the dreaded policemen
of Mayor Pennoyer remained neu-
trail.

The Wasco News pointedly says
that when it comes to bOprishness
and bad Language, the 0regonian is
SO far ahead Of Tillman that he
may be voted a polished gentle
man. The Oregonian talks about
such men doing injury to party. If
such is the case the 0eegoniqn has
done the republican party irrepara-

WHEAT MARKET.

Wheat is agsin reaching out for
the dollar mare, says the Ore
gonian, and, while it is not making
the great bounds that distinguish
ed the first rapid advance Of a few
weeks ago, it is steadily moving
toward a higher plane of prices,
In Portland Saturday it again
reached the S6-eent limit, from
which it dropped back about two
weeks ago, and it has again passed
that mark and Valley wheat is
quoted at 81 cents, with Walls
Walla bringing rs cents. These
figures probably mean more than
dollar wheat did few days ago;
but Notwithstanding that, the fact
. bushel Of wheat can buy great
many things, there is still pros
pect for its buying even more be-
fore the year is out or before
another crop is on the market, :
. There is but very little wheat
changing hands at the present
time, and the amount still in the
hands. Of the growers is variousiy
estimated at from S5 to go per cent
crop-the former figure probably
being the nearest correct. When
wheat advanced to figure that
netted the inland growers 50 cents
q bushel at the nearest railway
station, they disposed of a large
amount, and it is the movement of
that wheat that is now taxing the
railroads and enabling Portland to
surpass all previous records as a
grain shipping port. The total
crop will fall short of that of two
years ago, but the indications are
favorable for Portland shipping as
much or more grain than was dis
patched from there in that banner
year. This is on account of the
failure of the Sound to retain the
business which formerly went
there. The disposition of the
growers to hold their wheat has
had tendency to cause dullness
in charters, and there is but little
business in this direction. Ex-
porters have ships enough to
handle their wheat, and wheat
enough to fill the ships they have
already chartered, 50 that they are
now bidding up prices on the
cereal, but are calmly awaiting de-
velopments, and announce their
willingness to pay dollar bushel
for wheat as soon as export values
will warrant it; but in the mean
time they are not particular about
loading up for speculative pur-
poses. At the same time, MANY
buyers express the l'elief that the
price will go still higher, and are
not inclined to blame the growers
for holding on, although 80 cents a
bnshel is q highly remunerative
figure for the grower.

Palermo, April 2S.-Reports from
Palermo, the scene OF yesterdays tax
riots, indicate that the disturbances
were far more serious than first re-
ported. The populace, which consists
chiefly of the lower classes, became
incensed against the imposition of the
communal taxes and made a demon
stration that at one time threatened to
become very serious. The mob at
tackled the house os the syIldic, or
mayor, and smashed the windows and
destroyed "A number of street lamps.
They then set fire to the Office of the
control, where the tax on provisions,
etc, entering the city is collected,
and to number Of sentry boxes and
they were destroyed The mob was in
a most dangerous humor. and the gen
aarmes We're powerless to quell the dis
turbances. The military were called
out but the rioters stoned the troops,
severely wounding an officer and
three soldiers. An attempt was made
to open the prison and release
the cOnvicts, but this was fortunately
prevented by the troops. The situa
ton was becoming extremely critical
when the project of Catania arrived on
the scene, He finally, after several
fruitless attempts, got the crowd to
listen to him. He promised that some
of the more burdensome of the griev-
ances of the people would be redressed
and by his conciliatory attitude ulti-
mately calmed the passions of the mob
which then dispersed. The maladmin
istration of Sicily has been a crying
evil for many years and has led to
several severe riots.

WILL DEMAND TRIAL.
Rev. Mr.. Knapp To BE Heard Before
American Representatives in Turkey.

Constantinople, April 2s.-The Rev.
George p. Knapp the American mis-
sionary who was recently expelled
from Bitlis on charges of sedition, and
who the Turkish authorities en-
deavored to deport from Iskanderoon.
will come to this city to demand a
trial before the representative of the
American government. The United
Press dispatches told of the efforts of
the Turkish officials to get rid of Mr..
Knapp by sending i'm out OF the coun-
try and how these efforts were frus-
trated by the prompt and energetic
action of the American charge d'af-
faires, who protested to the porte
against the contemplated action and
instructed the commercial agent
at lskanderoon to call for an
American warship if it should
be necessary to compel the
authorities to deliver Mr.. Knapp to
him. Mr.. Knapp, despite the asserva-
tions of the officials to the contrary,
was prisoner during TIE whole of the
journey from Bitlis While he was in
Aleppo the vail of that vilayet tried TO
induce him to sign a pledge that he
would never return to BitliS, but Mr.
Knapp peremptorily refused to do so.
No one believes Mr., Knapp is guilty
of the charges made against him. His
expulsion from Bitlis was, no douEt,
part of a prearrauged plan to drive all
the missionaries out of the country
which resulted in such an emphatic
protest from Mr.. Riddle and the Brit
ish ambassador that the plan was
abandoned.
