CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-There was a marked
decline in September wheat early today on
liberal liquidation, but 1t rallied and closed
firm at 55Ac, or nc over yesterday. Corn
did little more than follow wheat, selling off
early and reacting later, to close steady at
1sc lower Provisions also sold lower early
in the day, recovering and closing higher
than yesterday. There was a fair trade in
wheat at times, but the market was only
moderately active, the range for the session
being 15sc. The tone at the very start was
firm. On the early rally, however, there was
free and general liquidation of September, as
we'll as professional selling, which caused the
September December spread to widen to &c.
at which difference elevator people came into
the market and purchased freely of the for
mer and caused the difference to narrow to
312c. Exports were liberal at 373, 900 blu. of
which 100000 bu was in -four. There was
falr cash demand on shipping account. Clos
ing cables quoted Liverpool spot 1sd lower,
and futures steady to I'D lower. The advance
late in the session was due to covering bv
shorts" and the buying of September de-
livery by the elevator interests and carriers.
There was fair trade early in corn but less
doing later, the range for the day being &c.
September liquidation carried the price of
that future to 23Ssc, or 4A@43sc under the
price of May, the widest spread so far On

People of the Jutland Peninsula.

Longman's Magazine.
The peninsula through which the Baltic
canal passes is only very sparsely populated
and the few inhabitants who live there have
plenty of employment in tilling their land and
tending their cattle, and are of too independ-
ent character to care about working for
wages. They are the descendants Of the old
Jutes and Angles, who many centuries ago
came to this country on plundering expedi-
tons, many of them remaining behind and
populating great part Of East Anglia The
men from the Elbe marshes found con-
genial home in the fens of Lincolnshire a
great resemblance in manners and appearance
being said to exist at the present day between
the marsh men of the Elbe and the inhab-
itants of the fenland. Brusbuttel was the
chief home of the pirates who in the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries harried the
Hamburg traders, and the people who now
inhabit the Jutland peninsula can claim as
distinguished pirates and Adventures among
their ancestors as any aristocratic German
baron or count.
The natives Of these parts also used to bear
on unenyiable notoriety for looking upon the
wrecks which were so numcrously stranded
on their coast a legitimate means of add
ing to their resources. An old tradition exists
that prayers used to be offered up in the
churches that their coasts might be blessed"
the Interpretation put upon which by pas
tor who was demonstrated with for using such
q prayer being that he did not pray for wrecks
but that If in the divine wisdom of Providence
wrecks must be, all he asked was that they
might happen on the part of the coast in
habited by his parishioners.

THE WAY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

He IS OPPOSED TO OWEN.

CONGRESS-.
THERE'S TROUBLE OVER FUsIo
Other Party Leaders Who Cannot
GO the Free silver Coinage
Idea.

The intensity of the feeling which is
being displayed between the several,
elements of the Democratic party in
Minneapolis has reached a pitch which
threatens to disrupt the party into
half dozen warning elements. The old
fight between P. B. Winston and C.
M. Foote is once more stirring up the
boys" For some reason Winston has
become decidedly persona non grata
to the hoi polloi Of Demo-pop-
ism. He may be too respectable, or it
may be that he is not ultra enough In
his silver views. But, no matter what
the reason may be, the anti-Winston
element naturally looks for a leader
to c. M. Foote, and it now seems likely
that Foote may be the leader in the
coming fight
One thing is very certain, Winston
is very tired of the sell-out of the
Democratic party to Populism He
would rather see the Republicans win
twice over than to have the party to
which he has made so many sacrifices
fall into the hands Of the reputation
list popocratic element of the commun-
ity. Mr. Winston was very sore that
the Office Of lieutenant governor
should be conceded by the Democratic
state convention to the Populists, not
so much because he wanted to be lieu
tenant governor himself, but because
he regarded it as complete evacua-
ton of the Democratic citadel to those
who believe in government ownership
of railroads, fiat money and the SUBJ
treasury scheme. He did not rebel
openly, but Mr.. Winston is not very
enthusiastic in support of the fusionist
programme.
Another office which P. B. Winston
insists should be conceded to the
Democratic party is that of congress-
man. The ex-mayor does not believe
that Sidney M. Owen can be elected
If he should receive the Democratic
endorsement in addition to DR.. Ames'
nomination. Mr.. Winston is for some
good Democrat and he does not care
who he may be. Judge Rea will suit
him. but he wants no Populist for con-
gresS.
Another Democrat who is ready to
fly the track and part company with
the fusionists is William Baldwin. the
president Of the Young Mems Demo-
cratic club and editor Of the Minneap-
oils Democrat. Mr.. Baldwin says the
Democratic party is being manipulated
by half-dozen politicians who Ought
to be working in the sewers instead of
running political party" He pro-
poses to fight the entire fusion scheme.

Visiting Cards.

Paris correspondent writes to one of the
London papers: 'It appears that the SOW
ereigns and their families are the largest con-
sumers of visiting cards. These convenient
pieces of pasteboard are used In every class
of the social scale, and / have known men
servants and walters to use them. Cards are
useful In paying visits, and still more useful
to avoid paying them, and there is nothing
surprising that the total number exchanged
every year in civilized countries should be
estimated at about 5000, coo. An authority
on the subject tells US in the French Station
er's Review that the Prince of Wales has two
sorts of cards. On one for home use is writ
ten, Albert Edward on the others, for con-
tinental use, LIE Prince de Gales The Ger
man emperor and the emperor of Austria, ac-
cording to a purely German custom print on
their cards part Of their numerous titles.
They are an exception. Soyereigns will send
cards to hundreds and to thousands of per-
sons every year, in fact to almost everybody.
They are the politest people in the world and
keep several secretaries to send their con-
gratulations or regrets broadcast. The greater
part Of European royalties order their cards

SILVER OBJECT LESSON.
Amateur Minis Making Dollars in
Central America.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The secret serv-
ice bureau of the treasury department has
been requested to look into report of ex-
tensive counterfeiting of United States silver
dollars in one of the Central American states
The information states that in one of the
Central American states a company has been
organized by Americans to purchase the
silver dollars of the state, worth forty seven
cents, and coin them into American dollars
1t is said that g. 900 Of these dollars
have been shipped into this country where
they have passed at par. The story is dis
credited at the treasury department and it
is said that it would be impossible to ship
any considerable number of coins into this
country without the counterfeit being dis
covered. If counterfeiting has been going
on the guilty persons could be punished I'M
der the treaties providing for crimes which
have been made with nearly all countries.
