THE WHEAT SITUATION.

The Mark Lane Express Thinks the Rise In
the Price OF Wheat Is Warranted.
LONDON, Oct. 28-The Mark Lane
Express says that the rise IN the price
of wheat Is warranted by the situation,
adding: 1T is not speculative. On the
contrary, a speculative bear raid is on
foot. The English crop, which GER
tainly does not exceed 1850, 600 quar-
tiers, is stated to be 9GOO, 600, and there
are other signs that outside influence
is directed to accomplish a reaction"
This paper futher expresses the belief
that the advance in the price of wheat
is due entirely TO the shortage in
America and Russia.

return might give seeming approval to
the reports, he has determined to give

 The Hamburg American line steamer Normania, which arrived this morn ing from Hamburg, Cherbourg and Southampton, brought s3, 250, 900 in gold coin.

The consignment to Lazard F'reres was sent to the treasury, and no doubt all in due course will be added to the treasury reserve. Legal tender notes were taken for half of it to-day so that tn treasury reserve gained S1,000,000 at once. The treasury gold reserve also gained further sum of S150,000 deposit ed by the Produce Exchange bank in exchange for legal tender notes,
 Besides the gold already received by to-day's steamers the St. Paul, which is due to-day, has at least $400,000 on boaord.

 My brothers wife received great benefit from the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura. She has been long time ill and other medicines failed. She is greatly improved by the use of Nerv- ura.

DEATH BEFORE WHISKY.
Refused to Use Liquor as an Antidote
 for Snake Bite.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 7.-John Fohley, native of Ireland, living in Venice, about seventy miles below New Orleans, died at his home, the victim of fidelity to principles. FOhley was a jealous apostle of temperance, and head of the prohibition movement in that parish. A week ago he was se- verely bitten by rattlesnake. There is no physician at or near Venice, and it required so much time toEsend to the nearest physician, who lived a considerable distance away, that all idea of medical relief was abandoned. The usual remedy for snake bite, whisky, was suggested, and pressed upon Fohley, but he refused it, declar- ing that he would much rather die than allow drop of the accursed liquor to pass his lips. He died after three days of excruciating agony.

AWAY DOWN IN MADRID. Cuban Sympathy Shown
 at Home. The Weakness Of Spain is
 Recognized.
General Feeling Of Alarm Over the situation n-Tryinz to Blame
 the United States.

MADRID. Aug. 7.-Serious trouble is matching, in Spain, particularly iu Valencia, at the hands of Cuban in surgents. Riots have occurred in Va lencia caused by friends of the Cuban insurgents who hope to prevent the departure of endorsements for Cuba.
 There is a general feeling of disnay and alarm at the apparent inability of the government to cope with the situation in Cuba. That the large Spanish army in Cuba must be still further heavily reinforced is looked upon as being confession of weakness on the part of the administration, of the growing strength of the Cubans.
 Madrid up to the present has been quiet, but signs are not wanting that a spirit of discomfort is abroad, and that efforts of the governmentsto gain support by trying to throw the blame for everything upon the United States, the chief bugaboo of Spanish politi- clans, will not much longer avail.
 In factory near the city of Valen- cia the authorities have discovered a quantity of arms and ammunition, and similar stores are believed to be in existence ill different parts of the prov ince. The arms referred to are known to have been smuggled into Spain quite recently. and are of foreign man. ufacture, showing their shipment ito be part of plan of campaign being conducted by Cubans in Spain.

IT WAS A STONE FAKE.
The Litigation for the Body an Adver-
 Using Dodge.

CROOKSTON, Minn., Aug. 7.-The much talked of petrifed man that has interested people of this city, Fargo, Grand Forkssand Winnipeg so much of late, proves to be fake. Station Agent Harris at Argyle became curi- ous as to the contents of box which has been in his freight house for sev- eral months without any address marks, and opened it. It proved to contain plaster molds in which the stone man was cast, together with tools with which the work was done Argyle is the nearest station to the farm of McPherren, the Minto miller, upon whose farm the body was dis covered: It is believed that he had it manufactured at Moorhead, from which place it was originally shipped and buried where found. After it was brought to Crookston and sold, Mo Pherren appeared and laid claim to it. The litigation which has resulted has been a shrewd advertisement, and but for the discovery of the molds, the ex- hibltion would continue to be what it has already been-highly remunerative l The petrified man is at Brandon at present. The LeCount brothers oi Medicine Lake, who claim the body as that of their father, a Canadian voy- ageur, gave up the effort to secure il after their failure in Winnipeg, and re. turned week ago.
