THE ADVANCE IN WHEAT.

Feature of the Week.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Bradstreets'
says: An ah&!ysis of special kilograms
to BradStreetS from the more important
business centers throughout the coun-
try shows cons derable irregularity in
trade, the most favorable feature being
the tendency OF staple prices to ad-
vance.
The advance of > cents in wheat
again raises the question whether the
beginning OF the end of the long period
Of depression Of cereals prices has
come. Domestic wheat stocks are
larger than earlier estimates, but the
Export Demand Has Increased
SO far leyond what was anticipated
and given SO much promise of being
continued that the bulls in the specula.
tive markets are counting on higher
prices.
At such centers as Chicago and st.
Louis reports are made that interior
merchants have been disappointed in
the seasons business and are buying
somewhat more sparingl than expect
ed, although many jobbers at other
cities report that travellers for clothing,
dry goods, shoes and hardware houses
are making fair orders for spring deliv-
cry.

Panic Caused by Flames at = Catholic
Fair.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Jan. 27.-During the
progress Of a Roman Catholic fair in
the opera house at Farley, a village Of
1000 inhabitants, 20 miles west of this
place, last night, fire broke out and cre-
ated panic among the merry makers.
In an instant the merry crowd became
a struggling mob, anxious to reach the
open air and safety. The fragile booths
('were torn down as the surging mass Of
people crowded to the entrance. Many
were trampled upon and suffered se.
we're bruises, but no fatalities will re-
suit
There was also a panic, though less
serious, among the guests of the Loomis
hotel across the street. The opera house
block was destroyed, together with the
Loomis hotel and two banks, two small
stores and two residences. The loss
will aggregate $4,000, only partially
insured.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

THEY FEAR CONVICTION.

Executives of Illinois Towns Indicted
for Failure to Enforce Laws.
OTTAWA, Ills, Jan. z7.-Much alarm
and amazement is expressed among
the saloons and sporting men of Ottawa
and the cities and towns Of the county
over the Indictment of r. w. Matthies-
sen, the multi millionaire mayor of La
Sale, and his fellow executives of Peru,
Utica and kangley for failure to en-
force the Sunday closing law in regard
to saloons. 1t is feared that the men
indicted will be convicted, and that the
result will be general withdrawal of
executive clemency all along the line,
in the county and probably in the
state. The forces, anti-saloon and
saloon, are well organized for the re.
lentless warfare which opened some
six months ago with the first wholesale
Indictment of saloon men

The leagues have, it is said, organ

of the actions of saloonists and sporting
men, and when La Sale and Peru are
cleaned out, will pay their respects to
Ottawa, Streator and Mendoza. Seri.
ous efforts will be made to quash the in
dictmentS against the executives of the
four towns, and it is contended they
are not responsible for the enforcement
of state laws, but Of municipal laws,

IN no IMMEDIATE DANGER.
American Prisoners at Johannesbur,
Well Treated.

American Prisoners at Johannesburg
Well Treated.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-The state de-
partment has given out the following
statement:
Manion, coas liar agent at Johannes
burg, cables Secretary Olney that all
American prisoners are out on parole
except Hammond, whose case differs
from that of the others, in that Ham
mOnd signed constitutional invitation
to Jamison to come to Johannesburg in
case Of extreme peril. Jamison marched
towards Johannesburg, however, before
trouble arose. When this was discov-
cred Americ an and other leaders issued
proclamation calling Gu people to re-
frain from hostilities.
Instead of melting rebellion, Ham,
mond, in the beginning, raised Trans
vaal flag, and all in the movement
swore allegiance. Clement and other
Americans took arms from many and
sent men home.
Not y Shot Was Fired
by the Johannesburg party; there was
no disturbance, not a single act of hos
tility; arms are peacefully surrendered
and every effort made to maintain the
republic as against the encroachment.
The cases against the American prison
ers arrested will lie tried in court, al.
though the government has not yet in
dicated the time Of prosecution. He
adds that the Transvaal government has
acted magnanimously.'
In view Of the foregoing, it is be-
lieved that neither Hammond nor any
other Americans are in serious peril
The state department has cabled Man
ion to use the most active and vigorous
measures for the relief of the Amer
leans. and to that end to make to the
Transvaal government direct represen-
tations on behalf of the United States.

Plausibility of a Russo-Turks' ALI
ance Pointed Out.
LONDON, Jan. 21.-In spite of the de-
malls, official and semi official, that
have been made from many quarters,
the report of the offensive and defen-
sive alliance between Russia and Tur-
key, which was printed by the Pail
Mall Gazette on Thursday, is not
viewed with entire incredulity Spe-
cial dispatches published by the Lon
don newspapers from the European
capitals. notably from Berlin, Paris
and Vienna. show tendency to ad-
NIT the possibility that Russo Turk
ish treaty has been concluded 1t
is pointed with obvious plausibility that
Turkeys impecuniosity may have
driven her to seek an alliance as a
means of obtaining loan, as was the
case recently with China If such a
treaty has in fact been concluded, it
will likely be kept a secret until the
last moment. So far there has been no
authentic confirmation of the report.

ST. PAUL ASHORE
The Big American Line Steamer
Runs On Bar During a
Dense Fog.
People on Board Not Alarmed
and In No Particular
Danger.
Seamen Familiar With the Shore
Say 1t May Take a Week to
Float 1t.

SANDY HOOK, Jan. 27.-The Amer
ican liner st. Paul, from Southampton
for New York, struck the outer bar off
Holbrighton, Long Branch, N. j., dur
ing the dense fog between l and
o'clock a. III. She was shortly after
ward discovered by the patrol from
Long Branch life saving station, and
preparations made to open communica-
tion with her The apparatus was
dragged to the place and brought into
use, a shot tirSd across the vessel, the
hawser placed Oh board and a breeches
buoy sent off. People on board de-
sired to remain by the vessel, as
there was no danger. Messen-
gers were sent ashore, notifying
agents, maritime exchange and
wrecking companies of the accident
The crews from Seabright, Monmouth
Beach and Long Branch life saving
stations, are all in attendance on the
steamer The wind is light. with a
long ground swell When the surf
goes down, they will 60 to her in the
surf boats.
Among the passengers on the st.
Paul are ex-Congressman w. Bourke
Cockrane, Prince Serge Wolonsky,
\ Dixon G. Walker, DR.. S. A. knorpf,
Harvey w. Brown, H. G. Fellows.
The St. Paul also has on board
$1,000, 600 in specie.
Struck with Great Force.
The vessel struck on sand bar about
a quarter of mile from the iron pier.
Her nose ran about 100 feet in the sand
before her engine could be stopped.
She sailed from Southampton OH Jan.
lS, and was in charge of Captain Jami-
son.
At the time the st. Paul ran ashore
it is said that there was only four feet
of water over the bar. The vessel has
ON board 200 bags of mail for the New
York postoffice. Some of the old sea-
men along the shore say that the vessel
1uay not be tioated for week or more.
The st. Paul is imbedded in about
six feet of sand At lya. m, none of
the passengers had byen removed from
the steamers. Another tug has arrived
beside the steamer and another is on
her way from New York city. These
gers from the steamer. A stern line is
out to hold the vessel in the position III
which she struck.
VIII Not be Easily Floated.
From the fact that the st. Paul ran
aground at high water, it is thought
that she will not be easily floated. The
next high water will be little before
two o'clock, and an effort will
be made to pull her off. In the
meantime everything that can
be removed will be taken from the
vessel in order to tighten her. Some of
the passengers in the steerage became
greatly alarmed when they learned that
the steamer was ashore. When they
went on deck. however, and saw the
shore they became quiet.
The St. Paul was launched from
Cramps yard, Philadelphia, on April
10, 1895. She is 5355 feet long, 63 feet
BEEN and 5O4 feet deep. Her regis.
tered tonnage is 5,S74 tons net and
1895 tons gross. She has five decks
and is one of the most magnificently
appointed vessels in transatlantic
service.

Agrees to Allow a Commission
to Settle Claims of Cana
dian Scalers.
Matter Now Goes to Congress
as That Body Must Ratify
the Plan.
Believed the President Will
Again Suggest Payment of a
Lump Sum.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Secretary Oh
ney was called on by Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador, who sub
mitted the final acceptance Of the Brit
ish government of the plan of a Behring
sea commission to pass upon the claims
of Canadian sealers seized prior to the
Paris award. 1t remains only for the
president to submit the plan to con-
gress, and as the legislative branch has
refused to pay lump sum for the seiz-
ures, it is considered that the commits
sion arrangement will be approved. 1t
is quite likely that the president, i'll
submitting the plan to congress may
suggest once more the desirability of a
lump payment as
The Most Expeditions Means
Of settlement, for thS commission of ar
bitratiOn, if agreed 70, will bind the
United States to any payment awarded,
which may far exceed the lump sum
proposed.
The commission is to be composed of
one American commissioner, one Brit
ish commissioner and an umpire to be
chosen by the two The personnel of
the commission has not been suggested,
but there is belief that the president
of Switzerland will be asked to act as
umpire, or someone designated by the
Swiss president, if the session of the
commission necessitates the presence of
the umpire in this country.

Line to San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-A local
paper says there is reason to bolieve
that James J. Hill, president Of the
Great Northern, is behind the scheme
to consolidate the North Pacific Coast
and the San Francisco and North Pa
cific road. The object is said to
obtain a competing transcontinental
road by way of San Fran
cisco. 1t is said that Hill has secretly
been buying rights of way through
counties lying along the north coast of
California to clear the way for rail-
road before making public the an.

WARREN.
IN GRANGE CIRCLES.


 Wichita Grange, No. 132, at it's regular meeting on the evening of March q, had for the lectures hour the subject of The Rebellion of 1861 ). It was a meeting of much interest, especially to those wIo lived iu it, and had to do w iih it. The lecturers hour was put in the hands ot the worthy master, A. R. Humphrey, Wht very well knew what it was to be under fire, to fight if need be, and to run if SO ordered. The Worthy Chaplain gave lion, beginning with the landing of the first cargo of slaves on the James river in 1919 or 20 up to the l2th of April, 1861, when the first gun was fired on Sumpter. Mir Humphrey then began line of re- marks with the forces engaged, the kill ed and wounded in some of the great battles of the war, contracting his circle of thought, until he was shut up in Shen andoah valley and fought the battle of Cedar Creek, which resulted in a great victory to Sheriden and his forces. He spoke of the order of the different corps of the Union army as drawn up in the valley, the sudden and unexpected attack of the grays, the confusion and retreat of the Unionist, the capture of batteries, prisoners, etc, the coming of Sherden from Winchester, the re organization, the re capture of camp, batteries, etc, He played double face that day as did many in the Union ranks, SO did the Grays. The frsG face of the Grays was to partial victory. They stole the break fast kettles and ate the breakfast of the Union boys, but their second face was the other way, defeat, route, escape down the valley. The writer saw some of the artillery captured from the Grays park ed in Washington, opposite the White House, and near the equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson. The talk of MT Humphrey was first hand and so fresh and good. The Grald Army men are fading away and we should be more than happy to have voice in our midst who was in the heart of the Rebellion 30 years ago. Beside this, we had appropriate songs, "America,' before the battle and the battle and after the battle, etc. "Sherden's Ride"was given by our over seer, F. P. Johnson, with good effect; "The Sleeping Sentine1," by B. T. Cat lin; Gettysburg" by Rosa Ohmen Lincolns address at the dedication of Gettysburg cemetery, read by Mrs Jus tus Comscock; "The Wooden Leg" burlesque by Henry s. Comstock. Miss Fanny Humphrey read from "Women of the War" of the noble service of a lady principal of the Ladies' Seminary at Gettysburg, before, in and after the three days bloody battle. Others took part so that the evening entertainment brought vividly to mind the scenes ex. perienced by those who lived here a gen, eration ago. MT Humphrey exhibited paper published at Danyille, Va, printed by the 9th Corps of tbe Union army, ] April 28, 1895, fourteen days after the assassination of Mir Lincoln. Men of all 1 trades and occupation were in the Union l army. When Ea general asked if there were any in the ranks that could repair l locomotive, one man stepped out and 1 said, ''I made it and think I can repair l it." If printing needed to be done then l there were printers to do it.
