PLAH FOR lMpROYgD DRAINAGE.


MIR NN0WIsEs SUGGESTS A CAPI-
TAl PLAN FoR WASHINGTON
AVENUE
President Knowles, 0i he New Case
tie Wooden Mills. has an admirable
plan for the improvement Of Washing
ton avenues sanitary condition. which
Council would do well to urge forward.
Mr.. Knowles proposes to stop the sew
age from his mills running along Sew
enth street, as Il now does for nearly
200 yards. BY connecting the two dead
ends Of the Washington avenue surface
drains, and providing the lower one
with an improved sluice-gate, all the
Washington avenue and mill sewage
can be turned into the lower drain.
Then by the continuous flow from the
upper drain the lower one will be kept
pure and healthful.
The property in that section Of town
Is owned by Mr.. Knowles, Stephen p
M. Tasker and the city.

STATIONS RAPID ADVANCEMENT
Everybody in the neighborhood of
Smyrna knows William II. Stayton, for
he was born and raised there, and
James II. Groves and others of this
state gave him his start in life. He is
also known in this city. Before he en-
tered the navy he was noted locally for
his skill in mathematics. Commenting
upon him the New York Press says:
"Stayton is Delawarean of SO years,
with a fine record at the Naval Acad-
emy at Annapolis. After graduation
he was one of fifteen selected to remain
in the navy out of a class of 100, and
his standing was so high that he was
allowed the privilege of choosing his
own corps. He went with the marines,
and was assigned to the old Hartford,
at that time the flagship OF the Pacific
Squadron. In his three years cruise he
applied himself to court martial proceed
ure and was appointed assistant Judge
acknowledgement of the navy. In this
office he made his start in life.
Everyone remembers the trial Of
Commander McCalla, of the Enterprise
for furnishing his men. Stayton prose-
cuted and Joseph HI. Choate defended.
Conviction followed and Stayton's s
reputation spread abroad. Choate con-
graduated him. saying: Lieutenant,
YOU ought to quit the navy and join
the bar. There's great future for you.

WHEAT AT CHICAGO.
Opens Firmer Than It Ruled at the
Previous Days Closing.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14-Wheat opened
firmer than it ruled near the end of yes
terady's session, the opening price for
September being from S1M, against
S112QS15s at the close yesterday. 1t
had a spell of realizing weakness that
caused a temporary dip to S112, and
that was followed by returning strength
that raised it's price to S2A. Another
temporary depression was followed by
a still more vigorous interval, and dur
ing the continuance of the latter Seq
tember rose to S311s The Liverpool
market was Sd lower for September
wheat, and unchanged for spot. Paris
was 1Hc per bushel higher. The most
influential factor was the bad reports
that every one appeared to be getting
concerning the condition of spring
wheat in the Northwest.
1t was rumored that the French min
istry had authorized some change in
the duties on wheat in the direction of
a reduction, or, as some interpreted it,
in the way of a concession in favor of
the French millers in some indefinite
way The lessening of the import duty
in France would enable the grain deal
ers of that country to flood their own
I1dIhelS Will IOIClSl NIlGdl, anu lDt
demand would be chiefly directed to
America. AS the price of wheat at
Paris was quoted in the first dispatches
at an advance of III cents per bushel. It
was fairly good evidence there was no
knowledge in Paris up to that time of
any change in the rates of duty. AS,
however, later kilograms reported de-
cline there equal from l to 13s cents.
the rumors began to gain credence and
the prices were rushed up with a will.
The receipts at Chicago were 219
cars, and the out inspection of 45,3S9
bushels. The receipts here for the
week were 63S. $50 bushels, and ship
ments /. $50. .433 bushels
The days clearances of wheat and
flour from Atlantic ports were equal to
513, 600 bushels. Beerbohms estimated
shipments to Europe from all countries
for the week were 100000. Argentine
did not export any wheat, against
$4,000 bushels on the similar week of
last year.
The excitement continued until
few minutes before the close, and Sep
tember sold at S43s. the highest
point touched in the recent bulge Sep

AMERICAN BOAT WON.
The Crack Yacht of the Canadian
Club Meets With Defeat.

MONTREAL, Aug. IA light, fitful
breeze and smooth water were the con-
ditions under which the first race be-
tween Glencairn, representing the Roy
al st. Lawrence Yacht Club and Mo-
mo, the American challenger for the
Zewanakana (Corinthian challenges
trophy for one-raters).
AT 8 o'clock scarcely a ripple disturb
ed the surface of Lake ST. Louis, where
the race was sailed Glencairn was the
favorite. She crossed the line first, but
the Mono soon caught and passed her,
steadily increasing the lead until ,at the
four-mile mark, she was 1000 yards
ahead OF the Glencairn.
The sailing capacity of the Mono
proved superior throughout the race.
and she crossed the line a winner at
2:231l
The Glencairn crossed at 2:27A. The
elapsed time of the winning boat was
, hours 1872 minutes, the official start
being made at 1:40 a. m. The Mono
sailed beautiful race throughout, and
her showing was a total surprise. 1t
is now conceded that the American
challenger is likely to be a sure win
per of the series, and will take the
cup back to the Seawanhaka- Corinth-
ian Club, which she represents.
The Mono crossed the finish line at
2:231a and the Glencairn at 2:2712. 1t
now appears that the Glencairn stove
a four-inch square hole in her bow by
fouling the buoy at the start, and was
compelled to sail on an even keel.

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Comment on His Visit to the Cars
Domains.

| BERLIN, Aug. 14.-The visit of the
Emperor and Empress of Germany to
Russia and the reception accorded them
there is received in this country with
divided feelings. Many people blame
the Emperor for humbling himself un-
necessarily before the Gar, and thinks
his majesty has again exceeded his
proper limits, and says the Car showed
much less impressment than his guest
in the shower of German decorations
and favors bestowed upon the Russian
court and other officials.
| On the other hand, the results of the
Emperors visit to ST. Petersburg, so
far as possible, are what the Emperor
wished, and especially as regards Great
| Britain. Henceforth that country will
! find, upon all important occasions, Rus
sia and Germany in her way.
| 1t is a curious fact that the tone of
| the entire Russian press changed dur
| ing Emperor Williams stay at st. Pc
! tersburg, and became frankly Anglo
| phobe. The newspapers of Russia,
which have hitherto been constantly
| hostile to Germany, like the "Novoe
| vremya," now welcome Emperor Will
| liam as new ally.
| On September Both the imperial
couple will arrive at Hamburg, and will
witness the army maneuvers that aft
! ernoon. The same day the King and
! Queen Of Italy will arrive at Hamburg.
| General Nelson A Miles, U. S. A :,
was granted permission to review the
maneuvers. Meanwhile he has gone TO
| Stockholm and Russia.
| Acting upon the advice of Baron Won
Thielman, the former German En-
bassador at Washington, who has just
| been appointed privy councillor and the
| representative of the Imperial Chan
cellor in all the financial affairs of the
| Empire, the German Government is en-
| tering into negotiations with the Gov
ernments of the other countries injured
! by the United States tariff, especially
| France and Belgium, for the purpose
of effecting an agreement to demand
| the submission of all disputed points
| to a court of arbitration. In Germany S
case the disputed points are mainly
| the alleged violation of existing trea-
ties, and the paying back to the United
| States Treasury of the export premi-
ume paid by Germany.
| Frome Duke John Albrecht of Neck
lenburg, who has just visited Prince
Bismarck, the correspondent of the
Associated Press learns that the Prince
disapproves of Emperor Williams visit
to the Czar and its accompanying feat
ures, as calculated to raise hopes in
the Russian mind which Germany later
may be unable to fulfill, especially in
the matter of further Asiatic couquests.

precautions, the Commissioner of Po-
lice, Edward Bradford, has authorized
a public meeting in Trafalgar Square
ON Sunday, August 22d, to "denounce
the revival of torture in Spanish pris-
ons."
The authorities declare the Commits
sioner did not know it was the anarch-
lists who had applied for it. The news
papers say it is certain that there will
be trouble if the meeting is held, as the
people here are waking up to the neces-
sity of a stern repression of the anarch-
lists.
A long existing scandal has been end
ed by a complaint upon the part of Sir
John Drummer, the Well-known philan-
thrOpist of Liverpool and member Of
Parliament for the Norwich Division OF
Cheshire, who drew the attention Of the
Home Secretary, Matt Ridley, to the
habit of transferring the women pris-
oners from the Liverpool jail to Knuts-
ford Prison in big gangs, chained to-
gether like slaves. 1t developed from
the inquiries made by the Home Secre-
tary into the subject that as many as
thirty-two women in one gang have
been thus paraded. Orders have been
issued to stop this practice.

NICARAGUANS
URGING WAR.
Troubles in the Central American
Republics Not Ended.
President zelaya Asked to Move Against
Costa Rica.
An I1l-Fee1ing Between the Two
Governments Which Has Not as
Yet Been acknowledgements
Object to Costa Rica Control
ling the Port of Greytown.

MANAGUA (Nicaragua), Aug. a.
Some of the advisers of President Ze-
laya. are endeavoring to rally the peo-
pie Of Nicaragua to sustain him in q
war with Costa Rica upon various mis-
leading pretexts, because of i'll feeling
between the two Governments. They
point to the fact of Costa Rica's re-
fusal to join the organization of the
Presidents of Nicaragua, Salvador and
Honduras at Amapala in 1893 to keep
each other in power, and that in the
arbitration as to the boundary line be-
tween Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Costa
Rica won every contested point. They
add that recently the Government of
Costa Rica decreed that certain ar
cleS could be admitted free of duty to
her territory on the south side of the
San Juan del Norte River. This act the
Nicaraguan Government declares to be
an effort on the part of Costa Rica to
control that river and the port of San
Juan del Sui (Greytown). There has
never been a custom house at that
port. Nicaragua's custom house is at
CASTILLO, far up the river.
1t is also recalled that the delegates
appointed by the Presidents of each OF
the Central American States were as
semDled at Guatemala City in June
last, and agreed on a constitution for a
confederacy of the five States, when
agreed to by their Congress of those
States, inserted a clause declaring that
the confederacy should be organized
whenever two of the States agreed to
it. President Barrios of Guatemala and
Inglacias Of Costa Rica have agreed TO
the form of the confederacy, and it is
added that President Inglacias of Costa
Rica is to be the first Premier of the
confederacy, and that its capital is to
be at San jose Costa Rica, for the first
term, thus disappointing the Presi-
dents of Nicaragua, Salvador and Hon
duras, who it is said, desired to make
one of themselves President, and as
sumo control of the armies of Guate-
mala and Costa Rica.
