Washington. D. c., Oct. 3.-The an
nua1 report of Land Commissioner
T,omoreuy states that the total vacant
nublic land in the United States is &C.,
o40.671 acres, of which 31G,651,S ol are

of the examiners.
Commissioner LamoreuN makes the
following Recommendations: Inc APP
proDriations for surveys and resurTeEs
of public lands be made continuous: that
laws be passed creating the ohlce OF sur
vevor-general of Alaska, establishing a
national irrigation commission, for the
COMPULSORY attendance Of witnesses at
the hearing in contests before the dis
trict land officers: for the protection of
timber on public forest reservations; to
regulate timber on public lands not en-
braced within forest reservations; and
for the protection of timber and other
growth on the public domain from de-
struction by fire.
Nearly all the legislation recommend
ed is now pending in Congress.

HEAVY TRADING IN WHEAT
Excitement in the Chicago FIT con-
tinues-Corn and PrOViS-
ions Go Up, Too.

Chicago, Ill.,, Oct. 1.-The wheat pit
today was again a scene of wild excite
ment. marked by an advance in the price
of December to point 211a cents above
the final figures of yesterdays session.
This advance was all the time held by
any means for big traders, whose per-
sistency in holding on to their lines have
been partially instrumental in the recent
rise, took advantage of the exalted prices
to earn an honest dollar by dumping
some of their holdings on the market.
The aggregate days business was enor-
nous. Not only were all the local brok-
ers heavy investors, but outside specula-
ton was much more prominent than
usual.
The reason for the bulge can be told
in two words-foreign news. 1t was not
the higher prices quoted at Liverpool
and on the continent. but the reports OF
wheat engagements for shipment to In
dia from Liverpool, hitherto unheard-of
transaction. Reports of similar engage
ments from San Francisco were con-
firmed and lent force to the statements
that the Indian crop was failure.
Not all the interest, however, was
centered in wheat. The corn and pro-
vision pits were damned with excited
spectators all day, an enormous foreign
business was done in corn and promi-
nent packers in trying to cover some
of their lines of provisions experienced
surprising difficulty in doing SO. The
close showed substantial advances all
around.

FALL OF THE TROCHA.
Maceo Of the Cuban Insurgents
Strikes a Telling BloW-Span-
iSh Loss 1000.

Key West, Fla, Oct. 3.-Advices re-
ceived here from Havana state
that Antonio Meceo, in a recent
attack on the trocha, inflicted terri
BILE losses on the Spaniards, more
than 1000 being killed and wounded.
The attack was made at night and was
carefully planned. The fighting was gen.
eral all along the line, but was fercest
nearest Artemisa, where Antonio Maceo
led picked force of insurgents against
the Spanish column commanded by Gen.
Aralas.
The Spaniards were taken completely
by surprise. They were aroused from
sleep to find hail of insurgent bullets
falling upon them. Gen. Aralas and his
staff, half clad, rushed from their head
quarters and tried to rally the Spanish
troops who were panic-stricken. 1t was
half an hour before even a semblance of
order could be restored to. the column and
during that time the troops remained
huddled together an easy mark for the
Cubans and many Spanish were killed.
The insurgents had several dynamite
guns and these were used with terrible
effect, the shells bursting among the
Spaniards and striking them down by the
scores. The wounds made by the dy-
Mantle shells were frightful, in many in
stances men being literally blown to
pieces. 1t is said many Spanish officers
were killed and that Gen. Aralas himself
was slightly injured 90 sr'e'

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Chaffin and Her Paran1our
Suspected of Killing Mr.. Chat
fin and Five Children.

Little Rock, Ar, Oct 3.-Great ex-
element prevails at Devall's Bluff over
the discovery of what is believed to be
the bloodiest tragedy in the history of
Prairie county. Bud Chaffin and his
five children are believed to have been
murdered and suspicion points to Mrs
Chaf1in and John King, her paramour,
as the murderers.
Chaffin, with his wife and five chill
dren, lived on White river between Des
Arc and DevalPs Bluff. John King, a
hired man, lived with the family and is
said to have alienated the ChafTin wom-
ans affections from her husband.
Neither King nor any of the Chaftins
have been seen since September 81. On
that date King was seen driving away in
a wagon in company with Mrs Chaffin.
AS they did not return and nothing was
seen of the other members of the family
the neighbors began an investigation.
When the house in which the Chaffins
had lived was opened. blood was found
spattered all over the floor and there
We're evidences of a terrible butchcry
having been committed, but no bodies
were found. The theory of the officers
is that the bodies were thrown into
the river. Every effort is being made
to locate King and Mrs. Chaffin.

STIRRED UP A HORNETS NEST.
Criticism of Restaurants by the Prcsi

Criticism of Restaurants by the Prcsi-
dent of the University of Chicago.
Chicago. Ill. Oct. 3.-President Har-
per of the University of Chicago pulled
a hornets nest down about his ears when
he said in his quarterly statement:
''In some of the eating clubs frequent
ed by the university students the food
furnished is not of a character which
will enable the students to do the best
kind of work. In other eating clubs
the service is of a character which de-
moralizes and degrades it's .members.
With others. there are Connected
women whose character and in
fluence are known-ta - be impure.
= In many Of the clubs drinking wa
ter is served which is unfit for
use. Let every student be on his guard
One cannot hold in high esteem the man,
however scholarly he may be, who is
negligent in reference to the common
laws of health, the common rules of
etiquette or the common principles Of
morality"
Keepers of boarding clubs about the
university are inclined to resent this
statement. and are almost unanimous in
their expression that great wrong has
been done them. They say he should
have specified any places of the charac-
ter he describes and not leave every
clearinghouse and restaurant for a radi-
us of two miles from the college under

INSULT TO BRITAIN.
Sultan of Zanzibar Spirited Away
Before English Officers
Could Protest.

copyrighted, 1896, by the Associated Press.)
Zanzibar, Oct. AN incident of great
political Importance occurred here today
resulting in decidedly strained relations
between the British and German officials
ashore and which may lead to interna-
tional complications of serious nature.
After the bombardment of the palace
of Zanzibar by the British gunboats
Sparrow, Thrush and Raccoon, Seyyid
Khalid. who had proclaimed himself
Sultan on August %, after the sudden
death of Seyyid Harmed Bin Thwain
Bin Said, sought refuge at the German
consulate. A demand was made by the
British authorities for his surrender. but
the German consul. acting upon the in
structions received from his government
refused to place the fugitive in the hands
of the British. This caused considera BILE
irritation and has been the cause of con-
siderable diplomatic CORRESPONDENCE be-
tween Great Britain and Germany.
Khalid Spirited Away.
The situation took new turn today.
An unusually high tide prevailed and
while it was touching the wall of the
German consulate khalid was placed
ors on board the German cruiser Seead-
lers for conveyance, it is believed, to one
of the German colonies.
The British consul here, Basil Cave,
in charge of the British agency in the
absence of A. II. Hardinge, the British
agent and consul-general, who has been
to England to consult with the home
government regarding the administration
of Zanzibar. was not notified of the re-
moval of Khalid to the German warship
until after the usurper was safely on
board the Seeadler. But SO soon as he
became aware of the action of the Ger
man authorities, Mr.. Cave lodged a Wig
orous protest at the German consulate
against the embarkation of I\halid. es-
pecially pointing out that the question of
his surrender to the British authorities
was still under discussion by the gov
ernments of Great Britain and Ger
many.
Await Instructions from London.
Later Mr.. Cave cabled q report of the
circumstances to his government and is
now awaiting instructions from London.
Viewed in the most conservative light
the incident is regarded as being an act
of studied discourtesy upon the part of
the German representatives toward the
representatives of Great Britain and 1t
can hardly fail to call for serious diplo-
matte representations.

DEATH OF DANIEL J. WREN.
Figure Once Prominent in Chicago
Politics-Member of the 300
dle'' County Board.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct 3.-Ex- County Com
missioner Daniel j. Wren died at his
home, 2O19 Indiana avenue, last night of
typhoid fever.
Ever since 1875 Mr.. Wren had been a
figure in politics in Cook county. He
was elected county commissioner and
reelected in 1885 to the same position.
1t was while serving this term that a
storm of public disapproval burst over
the officers of the board They were
charged with conspiracy, the misappro-
priation of county funds, of making I'M
scrupulous appointments to office and of
holding high carnival at night in the par
lors of the county's eleemosynary nsti-
buttons.
County commissioners and officials
thus charged were: Wasserman, Van
Pelt. Ochs, Leyden, "Buck" Mccarthy
McClaughrey and Harry Varnel war
den of the insane asylum; William J..
McGarigle, warden of the county hos
pital, and Edward Mcdonald, a brother
of the well-known Democratic politician
who was the engineer of the great insti-
tuition over which McGarigIe had control
These men were arrested, indicted and
prosecuted with unfiinching zeal by the
then states attorney, Julius S. GrinHell
The trail lasted many weeks and when
the verdict was returned Wren, Van
Pelt, Wasserman, Ochs. Leyden, Nc
y
each sentenced to serve two years in
Joliet penitentary for conspiracy and to
pay fine besides.
The escape of McGarigle from a hath
tub to a row boat in the lake is still fresh
in the memory of Chicagoans. He fed
to Canadian soil and Travelled beneath
the English flag until he reached point
in far northwestern British Columbia
There he remained until Engineer Nc
Donald gained his freedom on an appeal
to the Supreme court. Then he returned
to town ana is still here.
Wren returned to the city with his
heart filled with revenge. He set about
to humiliate, irritate and, if possible, an
initiate his enemies of two years before
lie was a liveryman from q lad There
were vacant lots in districts where rich
and influential men live. These he
bought at goodly price and upon them
began the erection of small buildings
He caused it to be rumored that he
would use the buildings for livery stables
and without exception the wealthy resi-
dents of the neighborhood paid him big
bonuses to agree not to start livery
business in their midst
mus the eX-cOunty commissioner with
steel IN his heart, worked until he began
to build a stable beneath the roof tree of
his old-time prosecutor Julius S. Grin
nell. Then the council passed an or
FINANCE preventing the location of livery
stables in residence districts where own
crs and residents object.
This, municipal law, not only crushed
q source of remunerative speculation.
but staggered the revengeful spirit of
Wren. Ever since the ordinance was
passed the decedent has been the pro-
prietOr of the American Livery company
at 412O Cottage Grove avenue.

COAL WILL NOT BE HIGHER.
How Much Lower it wei Go Cannot be
Foretold.

New York, Oct 3.-Orders for anthra-
cite coal can be supplied with unusual
promptness by the mining and carrying
companies in spite of the continued re-
striction of production. This fact llus
trates the dullness of the trade. especial
ly - tidewater points. While there are
no charges of cutting in prices. the tone
of the market is such as to preclude
further advances in wholesale prices this
year. In the West also conditions are
fairly easy as to demand, although con-
sumers are deriving the benefit of the
radical cuts in freight rates that are be-
ing made by the Western and South
western lines. With ordinary business
situation and normal autumn weather
the market requirements would be i'll OK
cess of the ratio of output for this month
100000 tons. The mining companies.
however, expect to reap the benefit of i'm
proving financial conditions and the fail
ure of consumers generally to lay in the
winter supplies. The September whole

at tldewater are: Stove. S4.50: egg and
