WILL GO UP WITH BANG.
Encouraging Reports In England Con-
cerning Wheat.

London, October 27.-In an article on
the demand for wheat and supply of
that cereal. the Daily Telegraph says:
"The stock of foreign wheat at the prin-
cipal British ports, it is said, would
not suffice to feed the country fort
night. A slight fall in the American
exchanges Saturday gave the English
markets a DOWN. ard tendency. 1t ia
the opinion Of one of the best known
corn. factors in Mark Lane that Ameri-
can wheat will speedily rise with bang,
and that by Christmas prices will be
much further enhanced. During the
recent excitement speculation in Eng
land and America was carried beyond
reasonable bounds. In the market the
opinion Is positive that at least proper
tion of the rise will be retained, and the
era of low prices is for the time being
ended"
The Evening Standard says the ten
dercy in wheat is for higher prices, add
ing: "The failure in India will divert
the California and Australian wheat
from Europs there. Only the tremen-
dous effort In the United States to hurry
wheat across the Atlantic in exchange
or gold, prevented amuoh greater in
crease in prices. When the in-rush is
past, there will be a further rise.''

London, October 27.-Phillip B. Skel-

in Mark Lane, in an interview with a
representative of the United Associated
Presses today, said in regard to the re-
cent rise in wheatY II certainly think

already on their way to India. Every

and wheat in India will compel pur-
ohases. The fall in prices today was in
sympathy with the foreign markets.
II believe that there will be wheat
enough brought to market in the next
six months to supply the necessities of
the world. The absence of the surplus of
former years has stimulated trade. The
statements which have bsen made that

oision Is causing Rlut III the European

VATICAN WATCHING AMERICA.
The Approaching Presidential Election of
Absorbing Interest to the Pope.

London, October 27.-The Pail Mall
Gazette publishes despatch from its
correspondent in which he says: The
coming Presidential election in the
United States Is the absorbing topic at
the Vatican, owing to the strides made
by Catholicism In America, now one of
the largest sources of income, the church
has. 1t is recognized that the standing
danger to Romanism in the United
States ia the independence of the Ameri-
can bishops, noticeable sincesthe time of
Plus TX. The latter fully recognized
that these bishops enjoyed greater power
than their brethren elsewhere. He
showed that he understood this by his
answer to some English priests, who
asked for certain privileges.
He said: Il am, as you say, Pope, yet
L cannot accept your request. I can show
you way TO obtain your desire. Go to
America, for there bishops are greater
than the Pope.' On the accession of
Pope Leo matters assumed different
aspect. He charged Mgr. Satolli with
the duty of intimating to che bishops in
unmistakable language the limits of
thing like split which it took Mgr.
Satollt two years to heal. But his
mission had good results.
The correspondent adds that the Vati-
can does not wish the clsrgy in the
United States to take part in the cam
patgn, lest there should be new division
in the ranks and an outbursu of int M
perate expression of political opinion on
the part of the more impetuous bishop.

YOUNG SAVAGE ADMITS PALMER'S
STORY TO BE CORRECT ONE.
Tells Fellow Prisoner at Alfred Jail
Where Four Dollars Taken From Old
Lady is Hidden-Officers WI ill Look for
it Today.
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.]


Alfred, October 27.-County Attorney
W. L. Emmons and Deputy Sheriff
Miles came here this afternoon, and held
lengthy interview with both Charles
Savage and Frank Palmer. Palmer's con-
fession to Jailor Hurd, yesterday, was
the occasion Of the prosecuting attorneys
visit here.
Palmer's confession, which the PRESS
published this morning, was repeated to-
day without variance. Palmer displays
stoicai Indifference in his narration,
but makes very little talk with the Other
prisoners in the Jail. Savage, whose de-
neanor at the coroner's inquest was
gentiemanly and quiet, has since as
sumed clustering, bravado manner.
He remarked today that he was con-
tented and not discouraged by the OUT
look before him. His father visited him
last night and brought him supply Of
apples and tobacco.
The other prisoners, who have the
liberty of the corridors at intervals
during the day, appear to be intensely
interested in the murder case, and the
JouAk OuIpEltS WnOS6 CONCESSIONS have
cleared up the mystery.
Late this afternoon 1t was learned that
young Savage had become confidential
with one of the prisoners and had told
him that robbery was the motive of the
murder, as Palmer had said, and that he
had hidden the four dollars which they
stole. at certain place in Parsopsfeld.
He also told where this place was.
This story reached the ears of Sheriff
Hurd, through the prisoner, to whom the
young fiend had become so communi-
eative.
Some one in authority will probably
go to Parsonsfleld today to look for the
money at the place where Savage says it
is hidden.
With this latest confession of Savage's
the stories told by the two boys are sub
stantially alike, aud it effectually clears
the murder of all mystery, and that
within short time after the deed was
committed.
