EUROPE AND INDIA
WILL NECESSARILY HAVE TO I'M
PORT WHEAT.
Gan Only Get Enough From tie Western
Hemispheres and Prices Will be High
For Some Months to Come.

New York, Oct. pa dispatch to
the World from London SAYS:
Aremarkable feature Of the situa-
ton, and one plainly indicating a be-
lief that higher prices are coming. is
why the farmers in the wheat grow
ing districts of England are firmly
holding on to their stock even though
the figures now obtainable are much
higher than they had ever hoped to
see again.
The continued absence of rain in the
Punjab districts and measures now
being arranged by the East Indian
government to deal with a possible
famine seem possible to make large
demands on the market next month.
Your correspondent had talk with
Mr.. Schamasch, the manager of the
great firm of Ed. SassOun & Co., of.
London and Bombay, the largest and
most important London house in the
East Indian trade. 1t was his purchase
of several cargoes for Bombay last
week that caused the first decided adj
vance in price. He says:
II consider the prospects of the mar
ket excellent for some months to come
Notwithstanding the price of wheat
shows a downward tendency 1t has
now fallen to 80 shillings and it is ex-
pected it will drop to 80 shillings from
which point it will rise steadily in a
healthy, stable manner. The poor
raj 70 hot
tinent, must be taken into considera-
ton as an important element as pre-
dicating the grain outlook. 1t is all
most certain, from this fact that
France will become an importer. and
when France begins to import. prices
will go up or shillings in a week.
Germany and Holland have also
suffered in their potato crop, so they
will become importers, which will in
crease the strength of the market and
maintain prices at a good level.
"As to India, the pinch of want
will not be felt there for some months
anyway, as they have enough stock
to keep them going. 1t cannot vet be
said with certainty that they will have
famine at all. Rain may come
if it does, the crop will be saved.
'Of course the stocks in India are
held by spectators, who may manip-
ulate the market, in which event they
will have exciting times.
'"The importation Of wheat into In
dia, has reached so for only moderate
proportions. I bought three cargoes
and another firm bought one cargo
for India. That is all in. AS to Ar
gentina, we estimate that we shall get
1000, 900 quarters at least from there.
The reaction in the market is due to
state of nervousness. This reaction
will prove beneficial in shaking of the
weak holders when trade will be es-
tablished on a healthy stable basis"

SULTAN BEGINS REFORMS.

COnstantinOple. Oct. 29.-Since the
recent visit of the Russian ambassa-
dor NJ. De NellidOff. to the sultan and
the long. important audience which
followed, it is noticeable that there
has been another change for the bet
ter in Abdul Hamid and his advisors
toward Armenians in particular and
a reform policy in general. 1t is
known that De Nellidoff used very
plain language to the sultan and it is
apparent theat the latter was convinc-
ed that the Russian ambassador was
in earnest. This, supplemented by
the grave reports received by the sui
tan from the Turkish embassies at
London and Paris. pointing out the
distrust and irritation caused by the
attitude of Turkey, has brought about
eager professions on the part of the
Turkish government of desire to
honestly push the work of reform and
as a commencement five Christian
deputy governors have been appoint
ed in Armenia and 1t is probable there
will be changes shortly in the compo-
sition of the Turkish ministry.

BATTLESHIP TRIED.
THE NEW MASSACHUSETTS GIVES
FULL SATISFACTION.
Splendid Manner in Which Ship Was
Worked by the Trained Grew Man
Overheard Rescued Quickly.

New York, Oct. 29.-The battleship
Massachusetts reached her old an
chOrage, off TOmpkinsville, S. l., last
night having emerged successfully
from the many tests made by the eX-
perts. Her guns and mountings
stood the shock of full service charg-
es which were fired at various angles
and elevations; ner maneuvering
qualities were satisfactory to high
degree and when it came to drilling
the crew, the men showed the high
est degree of excellence to which they
had been brought by Capt. Fred. Rog-
ers and his executive officer, Lieuten-
ant Commander c. d. Arnold.
The board of inspection boarded the
vessel at Hampton Roads a week ago
and for the next fOrty-eight hours the
vessel was kept maneuvering. Dur
ing the forenoon of the first day out
the board learned the ships tactical
diameter. by which is meant the di-
ameter of the circle in which the YES
sci can turn. This is n good thing
for her officers to know and accord
ing to their way of thinking, a good
thing to keep from the public. But
that did not prevent them from Civ
ing any details yesterday. Then the
crew were put through the drills Of
which blue jackets are heir to. They
had a clearing of ship for action. gen
eral quarters and fire quarters. Then
there was a call to abandon ship"
which showed how quickly all the
men could get away from the vessel
in case of need
At the cry of man overheard" a
life buoy was rescued in fine style and
then to give touch of realism a man
named John Sheehan. fell overheard
in earnest. He did not mean to do it,
but little lifeline played a trick on
him and he pumped backwards into
the sea when the ship was steamlng at
thirteen knots an hour. Buoys were
flung overheard, the engines were
stopped and reversed and a life-boat
was on the way to rescue almost be-
fore the man had time to realize that
he was overheard. He was back on
board in just two minutes and ten
seconds.
After the completion of the trial the
battleship went TO Hampton Roads,
where the board was landed.

TRACING A MURDER.
Body of a Woman Found Murdered
in Washington County Identified.

Body of a Woman Found Murdered
in Washington County Identified.
Brennan, Texas, Oct. 29.-The sup
posed murderer of the unknown wom-
on. whose remains, half cremated,
were found in a camp fire in the
woods near Whitman, this county, is
said to be Chas. Kugadt and the wom-
an his sister. Johanna Kugadt.
Miss Kugadt has been in this county
about twelve years and was well
known in Brennan, as she was in the
employ of Mr.. Frank BOsse for some
time.
In company with her brother, Chas.
Kugadt, and his family and her neph-
ew, Emil Nunfeldt, she went to San
Francisco and lived there several
years, when all of them returned to
Texas except Nunfeldt, who is prin-
ter and had found employment.
Miss Kugadt, after her return, liv-
ed in Navasota awhile and then went
to live with her brothers family near
Washington. She was about % years
old when she was killed.
Miss Kugadt had on several Occa-
sions stated that her brother owed her
i'm the neighborhood Of $500. but she
only asked him to pay her $500 that
she might make q trip to Germany
comfortably. She gave as her reason
for her generosity to her brother that
his family were sometimes in desu-
tute circumstances.
Winklemann & Bohne, steamship
agents at this place, say that the con-
templated trip of Miss Johanna ku-
gadt to Europe had been talked Oh Ior
several months. For some reason the
trip was postponed and it was not un-
til two weeks ago that Kugadt, Win
his sister, applied in person ana ar
rangements were made for the jour,
new. Miss Kugadt said she would
certainly call for the ticket on Mon
day. october 10, but she did not come,
so the agents thought perhaps the tr1p
had been again postponed, until tney
read of the murder.
Sheriff league has returned from
the east end of the county, where he
has been searching for Kugadt. He
has seen nothing of his man, but II Is
rumored that a man answering hu-
gadt's description was seen in calves
ton and that the man had bought a
ticket for New Orleans. The sherlH
took the south bound Santa Fe pas
senger and said he was going to Cal
weston. whether to follow the clew OF
the man seen there or not is not
known.

And When Pursued by a Crowd At
tempted Suicide.
Chicago, October 29.-Robert EN-
cry shot his wife. Annie, and a Mrs.
Miller, Friday night, and the latter,
when pursued by a mob, fired a bullet
into his own head. Emery was neg
70 and both the women are white.
The affair happened at 43 North San
CANON street, in low quarter of the
city. Mrs. Emery upon refusing no
longer TO support her black husband.

the two women were tOgethr in the
Miller apartments when Emery came
in. After a few harsh words he fired
two shots at his wife. The Miller wO-
man ran but was brought down by a
bullet from Emery's revolver.
Emery then ran out of the house,
pursued by a crowd, attracted by the
shooting. He ran a number of blocks
chased by the mob which was all the
time increasing. When he found that
he could not outdistance his pursuers
he pulled his revolver and shot him
self in the head, falling Immediately
TO the pavement. Had not the crowd
thought him dead he would have got
rough treatment. The three people
are now in the county hospital, but
the Emery woman is the only one in
danger of death.

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1896-04-22
ARDMoRE. WEDNESDAY. APR. p.
THE ARpMoRE1rE does not doubt

THE ARDMOREITE does not doubt
but that majority of the mem
bers of the Allen G.. Thurman
Democratic club are advocates of
the free silver doctrine, but it does
seriously doubt the prOpriety of
expressing that sentiment by
resolution at the convention next
Saturday. This is an issue that
does not belong to Indian Terri
tory democracy. The only hope
of receiving benefits from political
organization in this country is to
bring ourselves and our needs be-
fore the national convention with
q view to securing its CO. operation
for needed reforms. Our interests
are all local and we should deal
only with affairs that pertain to
them; the financial question is a
national issue in which we have no
voice and should by us be left to
the national convention. A resOl-
utiOn endorsing free silver does
not belong to the deliberations of
a local club meeting called for the
purpose of selecting delegates to
the Vinita convention and if the
proposition is sprung and urged,
it can only result in dissentiOns
where harmony should by all
means prevail. The ARDMOREITE
in fOreseeing the result deprecateS
the agitation that is going on
among certain members of the
club. BY all means let it drop
and let US concentrate our efforts
by taking such action only as can
not rebound to our detriment in
the future. The selection OF
delegates to the Vinita convention
is the prime object in view and in
selecting them Saturdays meet
ing will have done well to choose
the best of material and men who
viii attend that convention not by
proxy but in person. 1t matters
not whether they are advocates of
free silver or not, so they are
friends of the Indian Territory, in
general and the Chickasaw Nation
in particular.
