HORACE RUBLEE DEAD.
Editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel
Passes AWay-Had Been Ill
Two Years.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 19.-Horace
Rublee, for sixteen years editor of the
Sentinel and the Republican News, which
absorbed the Sentinel, died at his resi-
dence, II Prospect avenue, at twenty
minutes to / o'clock this morning. The
end came peacefully and without pain,
and after several hours of unconscious
ness Mrs. Rublee and his two sons,
William A. Rublee and George Rublee,
were constantly with him during the last
days of his illness and when he passed
away. AS late as yesterday morning he
was able to see friends who called and
whom he met with the same cheerfulness
that he had shown during his long i'll
ness and which he maintained as long as
he retained consciousness.
Mr. Rublee's illness has extended over
a period of two years. While in the best
of physical health in the summer of 1894
an enlargement of the glands of the
throat took place. At first it was not re-
garded as serious, but the growth later
became rapid and it was decided to be
tuberculosis. In the winter of 1894 an
operation was deemed advisable and the
growth was removed by Dr. Sem of Chi
cago This operation, it was hoped,
would be effective in staying the progress
of the disease. Although much weak
ened by the operation he rallied and later
went to California, returning in the early
summer or 1879 ana feSumlng his news
paper work. Later in the year the en-
Iargement of the glands returned and
while his general health improved some
what, the local trouble spread, at first
slowly and then more rapidly. While
causing much discomfort there was for
tunately little pain. The disease, bow
ever. steadily impaired his strength and
for several months past he had been con-
stantly growing weaker He, however,
continued to come to the office and dur
ing the summer was able to do some
editorial work. He last visited the office
on October 5 and he said at the time in
taking leave of his associates, that he
would probably never be able to meet
them again.

PROF. DYCHE RETURNS.
Got Natural History Specimens apu
Saw a Princess Who Has
$4,000 Bracelet.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 17.-Prof. l.. l..
Dyche of Kansas returned from Alaska
on the City of Topeka and left last night
by way of California for his home. Prof
Dyche went to Cooks inlet especially
in search of naturalhistor-> specimens.
He assembled to the source of the Knik
river with an organized expedition which
was q success, although the obstacles to
be overcome were appalling. The ma
tive boatmen stripped stark, and with
ropes pulled the boat up the turbulent
river. Prof. Dyche secured specimens
of mountain sheep, twelve immense
mooseheads, caribou; sea otter, birds and
other small animals.
On July IT Prof. Dyche saw eight
inches of snow fall and on August IL
six inches fell. He saw three smoking
mountains and experienced an earth
quake with such force that a man
could not remain standing. He found
large coal lodes, but the coal was so
soft that it could be whitfield with a
knife.
Prof. Dyche said: ''That country
country some day when it is finished.
The glaciers are slowly doing their work,
the mountains are smoking and the riv-
ers are vomiting out quantities of quick
sand. 1t is a new country. Let it
alone and some day it will be a good
country"
Prof. Dyche met Princess Tom, a ia
nous Yakutsk princess, wealthy beyond
all other Alaskans. She has $4,000 in
gold twenties on her right arm. She
wears FIVE bracelets, each hammered out
of gold twenty, and on her left arm
she wears ten bracelets, each made from
a SO gold piece. She has hundreds. of
blankets, sealskins. etc, and she owned
a schooner and two sloeps. She is 65
years old. and has just married her fifth
whom she has paid 500 blankets The
relationships ere traced back through
the mothers side. It IS in fact almost a

Ivory Remanded Again.
THE INDIANA WAS IN PERIL.
Her Turrets Worked Loose During the
Recent Gale.

New York, Oct. 16.-The battleship
Indiana, which arrived, along with the
rest of Admiral Bunce's feet, was badly
used up by the storm which ragged so
violently at sea during the forepart of
the week, and came near the end of its
career.
At 10 o'clock Monday night the In
diana set up signals to the flagship that
the S-inch turret in the after battery had
become loose. She was plunging about
under reduced steam, the officers bur-
dened with the dread that the weight of
steel and iron might at any minute be
heaved over upon and destroy the ship.
Soon after the first signal was dis
played a second was set up that the 49,
inch turret in the fore part of the ship
had also been ripped from the clamps
1t was spinning around and its great gun
was swinging viciously back and forth
as the vessel plunged.
On Tuesday, after d desperate fight
with the disarranged machinery, the tur-
rets were fastened with clamps and
hawsers. During all of Monday night
the squadron made only forty miles.
The full injury to the turrets has not

ALMOST UP TO so.
Another Exciting Day on the Chi
Cago Board of
Trade.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 19.-Wheat made d
record breaking jump today. December
option, which closed Saturday at 1878
cents, opened this morning at 7S1a@791s
cents, steadying at the latter figure, an
advance of 3H cents. The widest eX-
element characterized the trading.
There was talk of possible failures as a
result of the unparalleled advance. After
a momentary reaction to 70 cents, De
cember wheat soon went beyond the top
figures at the opening, touching as high
as 1914 cents several times within the
first fifteen minutes of business.
Just before 10 a. m. the market took a
sudden plunge downward and fell to
1919 cents, reacting later to 1914 cents.
Shortly after 10 a. m. the price receded
to 1874 cents, but at that point the mar
ket whirled sharply upward again and
within a few minutes advanced a full
cent to 1914 cents. During the frenzy
at the opening some few trades were
made as high as 1917 cents, while sales
at the same moment in other parts Of
the pit were at different figures, ranging
all the way to 1872 cents.
At 1870 a. m. the price was 1874
cents December. At this point anoth-
err 1 cent a bushel advance was record
ed with amazing rapidity. Almost be-
fore the tickers could place the figures
on the tape in the brokers' offices the
quotations had leaped to 1871 cents.
This was within Is cent of 4 cents a
bushel added to the value of the cereal
within a single hour.
Before II o'clock the pit witnessed q
notable example of whipsaw. From 1874
cents the market fell as rapidly as it
had risen, dropping l cent almost in a
straight line to 1874 cents. Scattering
sales We're made at 1875 cents, and then
the market once more rebounded, the
ruling price at II d. IN. being 10 cents
for December.
The advance today was due to the
Liverpool cables, which reported that
market excited and from 315 to 5 pence
higher, equivalent to an advance of 4
to 6 cents. No stlch jump has been eX-
perienced in that market for years.
Most of the trading early was done
around 70 cents. Tremendous lines were
dumped on the market at about that
figure. All the news was not bullish
by any means. Northwest receipts were
heayy-1642 cars, against 1887 last year,
and unofficial worlds shipments We're
liberal. The cables, however, were the
prominent influence and trading was
enormous, with fluctuations violent and
frequent.
A big surprise was occasioned by the
Indian shipments .of $4,000 bushels
This was totally unexpected and seemed
to indicate that the seriousness of the
Indian situation had been exaggerated.
There was a lot Of selling done on it, and
it was with this rs a reason that the
price of December sagged to III cents
during the last hours business. Liver
pool was not the only foreign market to
advance. Paris reported jump equiva-
lent to 3 to s cents per bushI, Berlin
an advance equaling 4-5 cents and Ant
werp > to 10 cents per bushel
December wheat closed at 773S cents
bid.

TO FREE CUBA.
President Cleveland to Act Before
January 1-Venezuela Case
Almost Ended.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 17.-If Spain
does not end the war in Cuba within
three months the insurgents will re-
ceive from the United States virtual rec
IGNITION of their independence.
1t can be further stated on authority
that the President does not expect that
Spain will end the war with the tactics
now employed during the present year,
and that he is fully convinced that the
grave duty will devolve upon him of TAX
ing vigorous stand in this matter.
A high official of the administration
said last night that action by the Pres
ident may be looked for by the first Of
the year. Long before that time the
Venezuelan question will be disposed of,
and the administration will be left free
to devise plan for solving the next
great international problem-that of re-
storing peace in Cuba.
But for his desiIt not to be hampered
by other serious international complica-
tons while negotiating for the settle
ment of the long-pending Venezuelan
boundary dispute, the President would
have interviewed in Cuba at the end of
the last dry season.
President Cleveland, in his next annu-
al message to Congress, will be able to
state that a definite understanding has
been reached with Great Britain for the
amicable settlement of the long-pending
Venezuelan boundary dispute.
After long and tedious negotiations a
definite understanding has been reached
on all the main questions and the con-
troyersy will be settled by reference to
a peaceful arbitration.
There are details yet to be perfected,
but none of them is of such nature as
to in the least endanger the prospects
for the final disposition of the case and
the restoration of diplomatic relations
between Great Britain and Venezuela
during the term of President Cleveland.
Information was gained last night that
when Sir Julian Pauncefote shall arrive
in this country tomorrow he will come
with such instructions as to leave no
room for doubt that he and Secretary
Olney will be able in a very short time
formally to reach a definite agreement
for the final settlement of the disnuta

Three Men Are Killed.

Columbus, Ga, Oct ID. A. White,
an eccentric shoe dealer, and his 19-year-
old son, shot r. M. Adams and William
Jackson, policemen, on the street, yester-
day, while the latter were attempting to
arrest them. The murderers then went
to their home, where a crowd of people
soon surrounded them and called on the
men to surrender. Instead White fired
into the crowd and wounded two per-
sons. Six officers then broke in the door
of the house and as Waite appeared, he
was shot dead. The son escaped during
the excitement
