The stock of foreign wheat at the

much further enhanced During the

reasonable bounds, but in the market

tendency in wheat is for higher prices
adding: The failure in India will di-
vert California and Australian wheat

sensational statement that her daugh-
ter. Miss Alice Belknap, will renounce
the Christian religion and embrace the
Jewish faith prior to her marriage to
Mr.. Paul May, the attache of the Bel

never been considered for moment
Moreover. the parents of Mr.. May.
while Hebrews. have not attended a
synagogue in many years.
Mrs. Beiknap adds that her daughter
is not actually betrothed to Mr. May.
There is a Very kindly feeling existing

may ripen eventually into a formal
engagement and a marriage. Mr. May
has been appointed secretary of the
Belgian legation at Japan. and will
leave for his new post early in Decent

daughters hand, but adds: They are
young yet, and can afford to wait" Mr..

Others Use Rumors In Order That They May

Washington, Oct. 27.-So far as can
learned from the best sources of infOr-
nation the rumors put in circulation
on Wall street, today, as to the prob
ability of a warlike message from the
President on Cuban affairs. and pos
sible extra session Of Congress have no
foundation in fact and were set afioat
for stock jobbing purposes only.
There have been anticipatiOns that
spain, failing to negotiate the loan she
is trying to place on the European mar
ket for the further prosecution of the
war in Cuba, might seek to provoke
some antagonists, short Of actual war
with the United States, in order to al
lay the excitement at home and give a
plausible reason for the failure to sup
press the Cuban rebellion.
This possibility, it is understood, was
discussed in the cabinet meeting. 10
days ago. There have been no new or
startling developments since and none
are expected.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
Silverites Attempt to Swing Labor
Organizations to Their Side.
But the Head Officials Oenounce the ATTEMPT
in Unmeasured Terms.

Chicago. Oct. 27.-The Republican ma
tional committee. today, gave out the
following.
Peoria. H., Oct. &c.
To the Workingmen of the United
States:
To refute the false statement. as we
sincerely believe it to be- and correct
the impression that our friends and
acquaintance may have formed con-
corning our signatures to. a campaign
document going the rounds of the press
and circulated broadcast on the streets.
entitled Proclamation in which we
are made TO appear that we are in
favor of free silver at any ratio and
substantially the establishment of two
standards of money, contradictory as
the terms may be, we wish to be re-
corded by all interested in our posi-
ton as being emphatically and I'M
equivocally against any such meas
ures. but are for the sound money
plank promulgated by the Republican
convention at st. Louis
Our signatures were obtained nearly
three years ago 10 document pretending
session. which in our belief and memory
was much milder paper than is the
proclamation referred to- and no mat
ter what our opinions may have been on
the money question at the time of our
signing the memorial nearly three years
ago. we have learned enough since on the
subject to warrant us in denouncing the
attempt at free coinage of silver at Is to
!, believing it to be decidedly against the
interests OF labor and believing that. un-
der the condition of free coinage this
country will be subjected TO one of the
most frightful panics that any country
in the world has ever seen.
Our belief in this statement is
strengthened by the admission made by
VIM. j. Bryan, candidate for President
in recent speech in the Northwest. |
wherein he is reported to have said that
ne thought the free silver condition would |
bring. for the present. stagnation and
panic. but from which. in four years. we
would recover.
We do not believe that this country |
can stand an additional four years OF |
misery and distress, and are therefore
opposed to the sentiments contained in |
the aforesaid Proclamation
