No Decline Of Wheat In silver Countries
Mr.. Harvey: A farmer in India OF

for about 51.25 bushel in silver. or
for half that amount in gold, and with
It buys the silver and ia kes the silver
home with him-$125 per bushel-and
pays with IL SIPS worth of debt. Now.
before this change in our monetary sys-
tenn began. that $1.25 was about what
the price Of our wheat was. Hence the
farmer In India and Mexico is still get
ting the price We once got in the honest
currency Of the country-silver. There
Is stable currency for YOU. A debt
contracted in 1872 could be paid now
In those countries with the same num-
Der of bushels OF wheat that II could
then. We take our wheat to London
and sell 1t for sixty-five cents, say. and
bring II back here. and we can't. by
any exchange OF silver or otherwise
pay more than sixty-fve cents OF debt

81 Am u Military NInn.v

New York, Dec. 13.-The Herald
special cable dispatch. from Havana
gives the following account of an in
terview with General Weyler on Satur-
day night:
What can you say of President
Cieveland's messenger" I asked.
Nothing, absolutely nothing. 1 am
a military man not a politician. 1 can
only say 1 have no feeling against Mr..
Cleveland or any other president"
asked Captain General Weyler to
express an opinion regarding Antonio
Maceo. He said:
-Maceo was a brave man, and, I
thought, a great general until the
Pinar del Rio campaign. Today. l be-
lieve him TO have been a brave man
of great prestige. a fighter all through.
and man who cannot be replaced by
the insurgents-in fact he was their
mainstay-and Gomez, who is an old
man. would not have come to Cuba at
all except for Maceo."
Speaking again of Maceo, General
Weyler said he regarded the rebel
leader as the most appropriate person
for the instruction and he added: Il
went to Pinar del Rio myself to cope
with him, and thought he would await
me in his positions, which he did not"
The general added that Maceo was
dead beyond doubt.

VIII Contest with Boatner.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Among the pa
pers that Will be laid before the house
tomorrow will be the documents in the
matter of the contest by Alexis Benert
for the seat from the Fifth Louisiana
district for the present term of the
Fifty-fourth congress, for which Mr.
c. j. Boatner holds a certificate as the
result of a special election held Nov
8 last. Messrs. Boatner and Benert
We're opponents al the election in 1894
at which time Mr. Beatner received a
certificate of the full term. But he
was unseated last spring as the result
of a contest by Benert. The house.
however, refused to give the contest
ant the seat for the reason that. while
Mr.. Boatners election was invalid for
intimidation and fraud. Mr. Benert did
not receive a sufficient number of votes
to warrant the house in declaring him
elected. So they tried it over again
last month. and now Mr. Benert asks
the house to review the election. The
contest will go to the committee on
elections. of which Mr.. johnson (Rep..
Indiana Dolis.) is chairman.

sun Spots OF the Year.

The small group of sun spots which
first became visible on Sept on the
western limb gradually increased I'M
til they came completely into view
about Sept. Is. when they were seen
to extend in a long straight stream.
the spots in some parts being so close
together as almost to form a single
rift in the solar surface. AS seen on
Sept. 16 the group extended over some
$50 COO miles, with a breadth of about
81, 900 miles, and il took two complete
days for the long procession to pass
by. The principal axis of the group
was inclined at an angle of about Is
degrees to the suns equator: in the
afterpart of the group a decided ten
dency to segregation was noticeable.
and by the 18th a deep. dark double
nucleus about one-third of the way
down the group, and q second large
spot with dark double nucleus about
one third of the way down the group.
Although this is one OF the longest
continuous streams OF sun spots which
have been observed. the phenomenon
was not attended with great magnetic
disturbances, but just before the last
spots crossed the meridian there was
distinct disturbance. and aurora
boreallis displays were noted in some
parts of the country.
