ton From European Standpoint.
Chicago. October 19-Advioes from all
Western points show that the advance in
English quotations of wheat has led to
the greatest exoitemeDt. Such a rise in
English prices Is unheard of and puts
Liverpool away above this country In
the market. The railroads are being
kept very busy in the attempt to handle
the Immense quantities of wheat and
other grains. the farmers are rushing for
ward to the primary markets in an at
tempt to reap some benefits of the un.
usual prices.
In many instances the scarcity Of cars
makes the situation really serious.
freight yards here are blocked with
loaded cars, elevators cannot unload
chem fast enough and every thing points
to big blockade. The elevators threaten
60 prove inadequate to meet the demands
made upon them and complaints of the
slowness of the service are general.
At Missouri river points the situation
Is reported even more serious. The
Southern division Of the Atchison clone
is short one thousand cars. Grain ship
ments from all points in Kansas and
Missouri for export to Gulf ports are said
to be larger than ever before. Al Minna-
apolis. Duluth and ST. Paul, nothing like
such heavy movement in grain has been
recorded in years.

victimize, and he had gone into the building
with Gray, whom he knew as the ''young Mr..

Richards by the neck, and each man pressing
his revolver against the others breast.

Monday evening an officer from the United

charge Of making and passing counterfeit
coin. A one-legged man, named McKane.

A search OF the Central Hotel was made
and a complete counterfeiter's outfit was
found, together with n lot OF counterfeit coin
some OF 1t finished and some In the rough.
The outfit and coins were found In McKane's
room. For some time this town has been
flooded with counterfeit dollars and half
dollars, but It was not thought II was being
made at home. The coin was fairly good and
would deceive most people.
Half an hour before his arrest McDermit
purchased quantity of,pure blocks Of tin

rich Vuelto Abajo tobacco district has been

habitants are wandering helpless and desti-
tute. The villages and towns of Cabanas,
Bahia, Honda, San Diego de Nunez Santa
Cruz de Los Pinos, Los Palacios, pso Real
de San Diego and San Diego de Los Banos
are reduced to ashes. All these were import
ant and thriving centers Of population and
business
The last town which succumbed to the in
surgents torch is San Juan Martinez. The
tobacco from this town Is famous the world
over. Spanish troops found only debris and
smoking ashes, and all around a seemingly
limitess sea of fire. A hundred desoate
families had taken refuge In poor huts, and
were waiting helplessly for assistance to save
them from starvation. The adjoining town
OF San Luis had narrow escape from the
same fate The inhabitants had fed when
General Corells troops forced the insur-
gents to evacuate the town.

THOUSANDS Of ITALIAN SOLDIERS
LURHD TO DEATH.
The italian Army Trapped and Cut Down
by shoans.

The kingdom OF Italy is In condition OF
excitement, grief and anger almost beyond
description. Words cannot adequately por-
tray the situation for every dispatch receiv-
ed from the Massowah, adds to the gravity
Of the disaster TO the Italian arms at Adowa
Abyssinia.
The first news Of Gen. Barnteri's defeat to
reach Rome was 10 the effect that only 500
men were killed; then Tuesday afternoon the
numbers ran up TO 5000 killed, with sixty
pieces OF artillery captured, and Wednesday
mornings dispatches place the number Of
Italians killed at the battle OF Adowa, and In
the long, harrnssing retreat which followed
at 1000, and II IL believed that not even
these figures tell OF the full extent Of the dis.
aster. In these reports no mention is made
ofthe wounded, and there ls good reason TO
fear, based on stories OF recent italian de-
feats by Abyssinians, that those who fell
wounded during the retreat OF over fifty
miles, met a more horrible fate than those
who were killed on the spot.
Throughout the night the garrison at Rome
was kept under arms and mounted patrols
traversed the principal streets. The masses,
however, do not seem to have retired to rest.
The streets were filled with people until day
break and after early morning every public
place was crowded with excited men and
women. A number Of disturbances, which

Demonstrations against the Crispi ministry,
and even against the crown, are reported
from number Of towns In the provinces, In
spite OF the fact that the authorities are
straining every nerve to suppress all alarm
ing news.
II Is said that the government was aware
on Tuesday Of the full extent Of the defeat
inflicted on the Italians, but II was judged
to be dangerous TO allow the startling infor-
nation to reach the public suddenly, and so
the report OF the defeat was permitted to
leak out; then the war office officials allowed
II to be "rumored" that 600 men were killed;
after this came the report "that 5000 SOL
diers had fallen" and now Il IL "admitted'
that 5000 Italian troops were slain. sin ad-
dition to severe loss among the native
troops serving under the flag Of Italy.
Under these circumstances, II Is not aston
ishing that the widest kind Of rumors are In
circulation, and that In some OF the clubs the
number OF killed and wounded is placed Mt
10000. Exaggerated az these figures may
turn out to be, they show the state Of the
public mind.
