Wheat Going to India.

San Francisco, Oct. 3-what has late
ly given the strongest, kind of support
to the local wheat market and has be-
come startling and sensational fea-
ture Of the situation, is a demand from
India for California wheat. The rice
crop has been a failure this year, to
what extent is not yet known, and the
grain crops are also damaged.
Within the past fOrty-eight hours
two whole cargoes of California wheat,
to go In steamers. have been sold, the
destination of which Is Calcutta. These
two cargoes amount to 1OOUO tons If
more steamers can be procured and the
price of wheat does not 60 too high,
other cargoes may be bought for ship
ment to India. 1t Is likely that num-
ber Of sailing vessels will be secured to
load for Calcutta.

New York, Oct. 3.-The steamer Andes,
which arrived yesterday afternoon from
Jamaican ports, brings news of the great
fire which destroyed two-thirds of the
town of Jacmel, on September 10. 20 and
81. At 10 o'clock In the morning the
alarm of fire was given and every effort
was made at once to have it extinguished.
The fire originated on the hill near he
cathedral and completely destroyed that
cdifice.
The flames burned seaward and
burned all the houses and stores be-
tween the hill and the sea. No water
could be obtained at any time during the
fire, which ragged from Saturday morning
until Tuesday night, when the Andes
left. On that night the fire was still
smoulderlng. The loss sustained II esti-
mated at $5.OOO,OOO. The fire is sup
posed to be the work Of an incendary.
Great destitution prevails and 1t is for
tunate that the Andes had large cargo
from New York for that place. This was
landed in time to relieve distress and
commanueu a ready sale.

Canton, Ohio. Oct. 3.-Not the least
novel feature of the campaign at the
home of the Republican candidate for
the presidency was the visit to-day Of bi-
cyclists whose numbers were estimated at
from 1900 to 10000. Many of the
branches Of the League of American
Wheelman were represented, together
with numerous affiliated clubs, the Chi
cago contingent alone numbering nearly
two thousand. The Chicago men wore
uniform consisting Of white sweater
and white golf cap, with an emblem on
the breast. The column was headed by
a brass band on wheels organized by
the National Wheelmen's Mckinley club.
Other delegations to-day were the
Commercial Travellers club from Mans
field and vicinity; Bohemian Americans
from Cleveland; the Mckinley club
from Harrisburg; the Swedish American
club from Rockford. Illinois, and Nc
Kinley clubs from Venango and other
parts Of Pennsylvania.

The Minnesota fire warden's report
closes with statement of the utility of
the forests and argument for their pre-
servation. The Minnesota forests are
. great natural reservoir of moisture
feeding hundreds Of streams, which
fertilize the soil and turn the machiu-
cry Of manufacturers. They afford an
important industry and home market
for agricultural supplies. The pine for
ests should also be valuable as health
resorts, for 1t has been conclusively
shown by scientific observations that
forest air is much richer in ozone than
the air of open countries. The cele.
brated Swedish iron Is produced by
charcoal instead Of mineral coal, and 1t
would seem that the conversion of Min
nesota ore into iron by charcoal should
be encouraged by the state, rather than
have it all shipped away In crude con-
dition. This, while creating a new in
dustry, would furnish new incentive
for perpetuating the forests. No abate-
ment of the seemingly ruthless con-
sumption of pine can at pres
ent be expected. for great
companies have their capital
all embarked In the business and have
built railroads specially for numbering.
They cannot now stop without financial
failure. and II We are to have perma-
nent forests 1t must be the state or the
United States that will conserve them.

BIO MEETING OF CLUBS.

Ds0aeRa1s go oaaveg Aeo 0othse ~ -.
LsalA
81. Louis, Oct. 8.-Conventioo 3. han was
filed to overnowins ut II O'Clock this
morning. when the second quadrennial
convention Of the National Association Of
Democratic clubs was called to order by
Hon. Chauncey F. Black Of Pennsyi
vania. The attendance Of delegates was
the largest from the Mississippi states,
although every one Of the two thousand
Democratic clubs scattered over the eoun-
Try were represented. together with .
large number Of silver clubs. In its COM
position, therefore. the convention was In
the nature of mass meeting.
Nearly month ago the executive COM
mittee made announcement to the effect
that any organization pledging It's support
Of the candidates Of the Chicago con-
vention would be entitled to full mem
bershlp and representation at to-day's con-
vention, and that 1t was unnecessary In
this campaign that the organization
should be composed exclusively Of Dem
ocratic voters or bear name Indicative
of this fact Hence the delegates from
silver states were passed by the commit
tee on credentials as entitled to the full
privileges of the floor. After President
Black had called the meeting to order,
the call for the gathering was read by
Secretary Gardner of Washington.
This set forth that the purpose Of the
convention was to show the power Of the
people In their home organizations, and
to demonstrate In advance the overwhelm-
Ing triumph Of their cause, despite the
mighty interests openly syndIcated upon
the other side to crush and destoy 1t.
Vice President Stevenson was introduced
as permanent chairman and was given
an ovation. He delivered a ringing
speech.
