ARMY IN GOOD CONDITION.

General Gomez Says the Cubans Cannot
BE Subdued.
New YORK, Oct. 6.-Thomas Estrada
Palma, chief of the Cuban junta, has
Just received letter from General
Gomez, commander-in-chief of the Gu
ban army.
"Weyler's successor in Cuba, writes
the general, sin order to cope with the
rebellion with its present standing will
be obliged to demand 200, 900 troops and
$100, 700, 900, and even then he will fail
as ANONYMOUSLY as Weyler has failed.
''Our men were never imbued with a
more hopeful spirit than they have at
present. The campaign in Las Villas
has been an utter failure. The Spanish
soldiers avoided us at every possible op-
portunity. This served to encourage
our men. I am glad to say that we are
all confident of ultimate success. If
Weyler be recalled his successor here
will be surprised to see the spirit of vie
tory which animates the. brave Cuban
troops. We cannot be subdued and no
one knows this better than Weyler."

Thirty-one Cases and Three Deaths at
New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-After two
days of Improvement and of promise
the fever situation took a turn for the
worse. In the "a hours ending at 8 p.
m. 81 new cases and 8 deaths were re-
ported. The physicians were not at q
loss to explain the increase in cases.
They took the view that it might be ex-
pected that numerous cases would still
continue daily to be reported.
There are two cases of yellow fever
on DIR. J. H. Saunders plantation near
Patterson, La, and one suspicious case.
All are traceable to Ocean Springs.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-The end of the
famous Luetgert murder trial is nearer
than was thought The defense has
rested its case and there is nothing now
to come but the rebuttal evidence of
the state and the arguments Of the at
torneys probably about two weeks in
all. The state has 80 witnesses to place
upon the stand, but States Attorney
Deneen said that in most cases their
evidence will be short and that he will
get through with them in a. hurry. He
expects to demolish the stories offered
by the witnesses for the defense that
Mrs. Luetgert was seen about Kenosha
and Lake Zurich, Wis, within a few
days after the murder is said to have
been committed, and to furnish other
testimony that will in great measure
hold up the side of the prosecution.

Administration Will Let the Liberal Cab

WASHINGTON, Oct. cit can be
stated positively that Minister Wood
ford has received no additional instruc-
tions from Secretary Sherman or any
other government officer since he sailed
for Europe. His call was either one Of
courtesy to introduce himself formally
to the new Spanish administration, or
to lay before it some matter not fully
outlined in his talk with the Duke of
Tetuan. He bore no letter from Secre-
tary Sherman, and it can be stated au-
thoritatiyely that it is the policy of the
administration to let the new Spanish
cabinet become settled in Office and not
to press it to act hastily.

especial emphasis on the complete or
ganization which existed, and, as if
with some thought of retiring from
active management, alluded particularly
to President Wiekes ability to
carry on the business in a perfectly sat
isfactory way. Mr.. Pullman seemed TO
believe that the internal workings of
his company had finally been brought
to such perfect condition that mis- own
supervision was no longer necessary to
insure the continuance OF Its increas-
ing prosperity.
Those to whom Mr.. Pullman talked in
this strain on Friday recalled his words
to-day, and discussed their strange sig
nificance.
it is we'll known that during the last
two years nearly all the important con-
tracts of the Pullman Company with the
great railroads have been renewed under
long terms. and it was chieAf the ac-
complishment of this task that
prompted Mr.. Pullman to believe that
the perfect condition of his company
had been reached. The only matter
in which AE. Pullman's mind remained
unsettled was the distribution of the
S25, 100000 of surplus, which, it is said,

Plans for the distribution of this sur
plus have been frequently discussed, the
one most persistently worked being the
doubling of the stock. NJ, Pullman
was opposed to this, and authority was
recently invested in him ID arrange a
plan to settle the matter. 1t IS believed
here that within the last few davs Mr..
Pullman perfected the details of his
plan for the distribution of the surplus.

a pass from the Military Governor. 1t
is said that while there a party of

alleged, appealed to the military COM

laughed at. He was obliged to return
TO Havana, walking the entire distance,

December Declines an Eighth of &
Cent, While May Advanced
Half a Cent.

CHICAGO, Oct 19.-The most notable
an advance of 1ac per bushel in May
while December declined 1sc. That rep
resents the style of the days operations
of the bull cliQue.
Liverpool sent very discouraging quo
tations at the opening here, more es-
pecially for spot wheat. California was
reported 1ad per Genital lower red Win
ter I'D lower and No. 1 spring I'd lower
Futures were less radically weak show
ing only 3S01ac decline. A private cable
gram said the market at Liverpool was
depressed by excessive supplies and lack
of demand. This weakness abroad was
sufficient to cause an easy feeling al the
opening. December starting at 90s4G
9O7Sc. as compared with yesterday s
closing price of 910911sc.
An impression prevailed that the
death of G. M. Pullman would cause the
selling out of some wheat which it was
rlImored he was long on" at the time
of his death. This helped in the open
ing weakness and the subsequent slight
decline. Trading all morning was scat
tered and inconseuuential, and this fact
made it easy for news of a very ordinary
character to influence prices one way or
the other.
Chicago receipts were 203 cars, against
277 last year. Atlantic port exports
were equal in wheat and flour to 533,
600 bushels.
A renewal of drought damage com
plants from the Argentine helped to
start a little rally about an hour from
the opening. and December which had
been selling at 903sc, advanced to 91lAc
Then prices slowly sagged off again
The bull clique in that month, which had
been steadily disposing of its holding
lately. was g. seller of December every
time that month showed signs of life,
and a buyer of May. The Consequence
was a material lesening of the spread
between those two options. One builish
factor which was APPARENTLY overlooked
was the small increase in the contract
stock for the week, only 5000 bushels
being added to the 3S3.000 bushels on
hand.
After the advance to 91Hc. December
eased off to 901ac. This was followed by
another advance TO 913sc, but liberal
selling pounded prices down again to
907sc. December closed at 901sG91c.

snow Yacht of the Basswood.

Have you ever seen the snow yachts of the basswood? Almost any breezy day in early winter they frolic swiftly over the snow in the parks or in the woods There is q funny little brown sail about inches long, curled at the edges and looking very much like a dried leaf At the center of this there is 8 stiff stem, with several little green balls hanging at the end of it. When the wind blows, it catches the sail and whisks it over the snow or ice, and the balls are dragged along behind, like anchors.
 This snoy yacht, sail and all, grows on the basswood tree i'll the summer The balls are the basswood' fruit, and the sail is a little bract. It hangs fast to the limb until all of the leaves are gone and good sleighing comes. Then the winter winds twist it off, and it falls to the surface of the snow, to be driven far away from the parent tree. In the little balls gre the basswood seeds, and when the yacht is finally lost in drift ed fence corner or near a rotten log the balls remain still until the snow melts, and then the seeds fall into tie ground and young basswood sprouts. Nature has provided this marvellous way for the basswood to scatter its seeds, sometimes for miles across the snow. w.-Chicago Record
