They VIII Eat Missouri Corn.

A fact, important not only to st.
Louis, but to Missouri, is that the
corn crop of Mexico is almost a total
failure, and this will cause the ship
ment of from Il, 900 to IS, 900 car loads
of corn from the United States to Mex
leo. Corn is the chief article of food
among the lower classes of Mexicans.
They grind the corn between stones,
making sort of coarse meal, from this
cake called ''tortillas" are made. Tor
tilias to the Mexican poems are what
bread is to the people here, so it will
be readily seen that the failure of the
corn crop in Mexico will be a source of
great profit to the corn raisers of Mis-
souri, and vicinity,

have been made, Joseph Suite, at
Tuckahoe, Swiss rag picker; Michael

the most suspected of the three as he
had on shoes with whole in the con-
tre of the sole of one of them exactly
fitting footprints in the rear of the
Tucker residence. Upon being closely
questioned by the police he admitted
having been near Mr.. fuckers resi-
dence but said that while he was there
he was engaged in cutting umbrella
heads Lewis and Meyer, Byrne's COM
panions, had wagon with them when
arrested and declared that they had
been cutting umbrella sticks in the
neighborhood for some time past. The
police are hard at work on the case and

CAMPANIA ALSO GROUNDED.
Report OF the Keeper of the Long

Drancn AlIe saving station.
Washington, Jan. 29.-Keeper War
dell, of the Long Branch, N. j., life
saving station, has made his official re-
port to Supt. Kimball, which seems to
establish the fact that the Campania
grounded as well as the st. Paul. He
mentions the fact that the st. Paul
grounded, and then referring to an
other steamer, says: 1.-THE morning of
the 25th inst. Surfman Sexton while
on his north watch from 12 to 4 a. m.
discovered a large steamer ashore. He
burnt his Coston signal and at once re.
turned to the station to give the
alarm. We started with our beach
apparatus for the wreck at a. m.
While we were on our way we heard q
steamer blowing north of the station,
close to the bench. Surfman Chasey
Kundgist ran to the beach and burnt
his Coston lights and signalled to us
that she was ashore. We had the ap-

tion to fire line over her. l waited
few minutes to let her get still, when
we saw her begin to go astern. She
backed off all right. After waiting
while to see that she was all right we
proceeded on our way to the steamer
in front of the Brighton hotel" This
other steamship was undoubtedly the
eampania of the Cunard line, about
whose grounding contradictory state

5000 men altogether In pursuit OF the
insurgents, but the main army of 120,-
600 regulars and $4,000 volunteers is
doing garrison duty in cities and towns
and building forts, block houses and
barricades for self protection in case of
attack. From Cape Maysi on the east
to Cape Antonio on the west the rebels
occupy the productive interior and
hundreds of towns are in their hands.
Why the Spaniards Have Not Won.
There are many reasons why the
Spanish army has not crushed out the
rebellion before this time. In the first
place the size and ability of the enemy
has been underestimated. He has had
the country people, with him. Again,
in all the western operations the rebels
have been mounted and Spain has had
only infantry to send in pursuit OF
them. There are to-day only SOC
mounted guerrillas or cavalrymen in
service. The rebels have fully 10000
mounted men. The Spanish soldiers
have no heart in this fight. They are
not defending their own soil from in
vasion. They are not in conquest of
new territory. They are not making
war upon foreign nation. They find
that the Cubans speak the same Ian
guage and are practically brothers
who rebel through the same oppres-
sion which they themselves have felt.
The cost of Spain's army is enormous,
and the question of how long men and
money can be poured into Cuba is one
that should set European financiers
thinking. Spain endeavors to blind
the world as to the actual condition of
affairs by a press censorship, which
has been made more strict as the situa-
tion here has become more grave.

Most farmers would have better sue

old straw or box hives. Beekeeping
with the movable-frame hives is an art
which few care to learn; the straw hive
is simple tool which anyone can use.
Before the bee-moth became prevalent,
nearly every farmer kept bees in this
simple way. The introduction of the
