This immediate result of the American
wheat harvest is, however, perhaps the
least important of the influences which ii is
sure to cause In the first place, ii seems
inevitable that the great agricultural com
munity, or, at least. that part of it which
was disposed to support the theory that the
depression in the price of wheat was due TO
what was called the decentralization of sill
yer, will now be convinced by unanswera-
BILE proof that the silver question had MOTH
ing to do with the low prices which the
American farmers received for their wheat.
While wheat has been approaching the high
est price recorded for many years. silver,
on the other hand, has been falling until it
has recently touched the lowest price ever
paid for it, so that two ounces of silver
represent the price offered for a bushel or
wheat in the middle of August, whereas a
year ago it was claimed that an ounce OF
silver bought a bushel of wheat. We may
expect therefore. to see that an argument
furnished by practical experience, not by
the politicians has permanently convinced
that great company of farmers who were
persuaded to free silver year ago that
they were then mistaken. One result,
therefore, of this experience in the summer
of 1897 is likely to be the extinction OF the
doctrine of free silver, at least as politl-
cal issue

PEACE IS NOW ASSURED
CARBOHYDRATES QUESTION TO BE
SETTLED ON THURSDAY.
British Indignant over PROPOSE
ton from Salisbury TT t Is Said
TO Have Benefited Germany.

LONDON, Sept. THE Graeco-T Turkish
question now promises to be settled with
out further delay. Yesterday Greece aban-
doned her opposition to the demands of
Germany for control of the Greek finances.
This action was followed by the announce
ment that the Marquis of Salisbury had
submitted fresh proposals for the mainte-
nance of permanent peace between Turkey
and Greece, namely, the constitution of an
international commission representing the
six powers, under whose control Greece
shall pay her revenues guaranteeing the in
terest to the holders of old bonds and to
the holders of the bonds of the indemnity
loan, this step to be followed by the
prompt evacuation of Thessaly by the
Turkish troops This proposal has been ac-
cepted by the powers
The Salisbury proposition is generally re-
garded as a victory for German diplomacy,
and much bitter feeling is displayed in Eng
land over the British premiers backdown.
"A fresh proposal was what Germany had
been holding out for, namely, the control
of the Greek revenue in the interest of all
the creditors of Greece, as well as for the
security of the loan to Greece for the pur-
pose of paying her indemnity to Turkey.
The only remaining question is the dates
for the payment of the indemnity The
powers desire to insert these dates in the
treaty of peace but the British embassa-
dor, Sir Philip Currie, suggests that they
leaves the dates to be determined on by the
international commission The ambassadors
expect that all the details of the treaty of
peace will be settled on Thursday next.

Tugboat Marriages.

A recent decision of Judge Allen, of Los
Angeles Cal, will put a check on the tug
boat marriages which have become too
common in that State Since the passage
of more stringent marriage laws those who
could not be married on account OF extreme
youth or other legal disability have simply
taken a ride on q tug into the high seas
and taken advantage of the extraordinary
powers which are granted to masters OK
vessels in the performance of civic duties.
Judge Allen decided that a tugboat mar
rage is contrary to the spirit OF the law in
regard to marriage on the high seas, and
