Rye IN PLAC= OF WHEAT.
Another Element in the Boom for
American Cereals.

American Cereals.
The shortage this year in the Euro
pean crop of rye, the cereal largely
used abroad for bread and at home for
whisky. is estimated as 3OO,OOO,OOO bush.
els, and there is already considerable
demand for American rye for export
Fortunately for American farmers
this years rye crop is considerably in
advance of what it has been, and the
crop will exceed, it is computed, 100000,
900 bushels, thereby breaking the rec
ord, which was 29,06O,OOC bushels in
1882.
Rye is used extensively in many Euro.
pean countries, particularly in Russia,
about half the total rye used in Europe
and America being raised in Russia.
An enormous quantity of rye, too, is
raised in Germany, and a considerable.
though smaller, amount in Hungary.
Sweden and France and two other
European countries which produce a
considerable amount of rye, it being
used for bread more extensively there
than in the United States. A compu-
tation made year ago as to the extent
to which rye is utilized in the manufac-
ture of whisky showed that the material
used for distillery purposes was $780,
600 bushels of rye, 100000 bushels of
malt and 11,50O,O 900 bushels of corn in
a year. The fame of American rye
whisky is as broad and as great as the
fame of any other distilled beverage
perhaps, but American-made rye bread
has never taken a very high rank in
popularity, and this country has gene
rally had rye to export. In 1894 some
100000 bushels of American rye were
exported to foreign countries, and. the
expectations of American rye this year,
to meet the shortage abroad, will be
largely in excess of that total. Ne
braska alone has this year rye crop
of 100000 bushels and the selling price
on the farm in the Blackwater state has
risen from II to 27 cents a bushel and
is still rising. In the Chicago market
this week December rye, standard
grade, for delivery was selling at Sc
cents, and touched 60. Last year bar
ley was selling in the Chicago market
for AZ to 4S cents, and, with an increased
supply from the large crop, it might be
inferred that the price would decline
| instead of increasing. The increase Is
to be ascribed to the shortage abroad.
In France the amount of wheat used
per capita is more than double the
amount of rye. In Germany, on the
! other hand, twice as much rye as wheat
is used-S,OOO,OOO tons of rye and 5000,
| 600 tons of wheat. In Norway, Sweden
and Denmark twice as much rye is used
| as wheat, but Great Britain imports
very little rye, though the value Of the
! importations of wheat averages more
than 100000 a year. The shortage
of the European rye crop, especially
in Russia and Germany, furnishes &
market for the American surplus, which
was not expected or counted upon a,
the beginning of the present season.

queer Money of the Northwest Coas

All along the northwest coast curl
ously shaped plates of copper are en-
ployed as a currency of high denOmina-
ton, blankets serving for small change,
as it were. They are stamped with
grotesque faces, and in former times
they were manufactured by the Hud-
son Bay company for use in buying
furs of the Indians. In those days they
were made of native copper, found in
Alaska and British Columbia, but now
they are of imported metal. The queer
est thing about them is that they rep
resent no constant value. A copper"
may be worth only two or three blan-
kets when new, but 1t increases in worth
every time It changes hands, until 1t
may be- appraised at 1000 BLANKETS

PETALUMA'S FLOWER SHOW
Close of the Festival Under the Aus
pices of the Women's fehief
copDs.

PETALUMA, Oct. 30.-The floral show
under the auspices OF the Women's Relief
Corps closed this afternoon with the long
planned-for baby show, and though not
every infant drew a prize the coterie of
healthy, pretty babies was well worth
seeing.
The exhibit of plants and flowers was a
remarkably fine one. The chrysanthe-
NUNS were gorgeous specimens. The col
lection of Mrs. Samuel Rodd formed the
largest fdn1vidual display, and the Rex
Begonias of w. A. Reinholdt show the
great care taken to perfect them. The dis
play OF potted plantsrwas much the fin st
ever exhibited here, while the many beau
uful floral designs drew great attention
A special prize was awarded Mrs. Charles
for ble la len with exquisite chry san
themums. Mrs. Rodd gained the prize
offered for the best chrysanthemums, Mrs.
c.. Hopper that for the best floral design,
Miss Cassiday for the best collection OF
ferns, Mr.. Reinholdt for the best Coleus
and Rex Begonias, and Mrs. Denman for
a collection of potted plants, while many
other premiums were distributed.
The whole affair was under the eff cient
management CT Miss Kitty Weston. The
ladies feel so encouraged by the success CT
their undertaking thai they will endeavor
TO render next seasons floral show even
more attractive.

OFFICIALS OF KINGS
COUNTY CENSURED
Grand Jury Charged the Board
of Supervisors With
Extravaganza.
Restraints the Payment of a War
rant for Fur nishIng the
New Courthouse.
Special Dispatch TO TIE CALL

HANFORD, Oct. 30.-The Grand Jury
OF Kings County filed it's report with
County Clerk CUnningha ham last night. IT
made 10 indictments, but passed seve raj
severe censures and made many recon-
mendations. The County Board of Su-
peryisoTs was scored for the extravagant
and useless expenditure OF money in fur
nishing the new Courthouse, which has
just been completed. The report says
that the $50SO paid for furniture, etc., was
$2754 in excess of what the furnishing
could be duplicated for.
The expert who examined County Re-
corder Peacock's books al the instance of
the Grand Jury found a number of cler-
ca! errors, but none that would warrant
the Grand Jury indicting the Recordec. r.
Ths examination showed carelessnass on
the part of the Recorder rather than
croohedness.
The examination of the books of the
Justices of the Peace showed that y large
percentage OF the criminals tired before
those officials were arrested in lhe city OF
Hanford, and that the county should not
bear the expense OF prosecuting the Of
tenders of the city.
The Grand Jury recommended that
such steps as are possible under existing
laws be taken to pei the trial OF such
offenders before the City Recorder, and,
il no law exists by which this can be
brought about, that Kings County's rep
resentatives in the next Legislature be in
structed 10 use every effort toward the
enactment of such law.
The Grand Jury notified the District
Attorney, M. l.. Short, of the facts con-
ce:ning the excessive expenditure for
furniture for the Courthouse, and recon-
mended that he al once com mence suit in
the name OF the county 10 restrain the
payment of the warrant for $50s0, drawn
in favor OF the George w. Fuller Desk
Company.
In accordance with the mott ication, the
District Attorney this morning served a
notice on Treasurer Slavin enjoining him
from paying the warrant.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-A World cable
from London says: The German En-

snubbed his kinsman Of Baden.
1ndedd, there Is scarcely any insult
Russia can offer to Germany that is not
oondoned by the official press OF the
Kaiser and his plant old Prime Minister
Six years ago the Russian movement on
the Polish frontier was so ominouS that
in German military circles war was re-
garded as almost certain.
The Russian Government was persecut-
ing not merely the religion of Hebrews,
Roman Catholics, Poles and Lutheran
Germans, but it was vigorously routing
out the German language in all the
schools of the Baltic provinces.
The behavior of the late Gar was stu
diously discourteous to the Kaiser, as It
had beer TO his grandfather and there
was vastly more provocatlon for war in
1894 than in 1870.
In tho-e days the Emperor spoke very
openly on the subject OF his treatment at
the hands of Russia. He felt it keenly
and was fully prepared for the worst con-
sequences, but with characteristic
courage and loyalty he spoke
of the promise he had given 10 his dying
grandfather, namely, that he would never
break peace with Russia. From the po-
litical platform represented by these
words he has never swerved. They must
be borne in mind. for they explain much

CATCHING RUN
HORSES His VOCATION
Unique Profession Launched
by Carriage-Maker of
San Jose.
Has Run Down Nearly a Thousand
Teams That Had Escaped From
Their Owners.
Special Dispatch to THE CALI.


SAN JOSE. Oct. 30.-Perhaps the most
novel profession followed by any one is
that of runaway catcher" recently con-
celved by James d. Moffatt, a carriage
maker of this city. In the last FIVE years
Moffatt has made a practice of starting .
after each runaway, and in his time he
has captured nearly a thousand derelicts.
They have proved a pecuniary assistance
TO MS business, for in mot cases he has
secured the repairing of the vehicles or a
money consideration. His success has
been such financially that he has decided
to launch the profession of runaway
catcher upon the world, and has inserted
an ''ad' in the local papers.
Moffatt announces to the public that
he is az the Pacific Iron Works night and
day anu ready at all times TO catch run
away teams. He has two telephones in
his place and soiclts patronage at night
as well as day. IL given the work of re-
pairing the rig he demands no pay for
stopping the runaway, otherwise his
charges are from 50 to S.. In case of a
breakdown at any place on the road Moi
fatt will supply another rig or any essen
tial paht.
Moffatt is aided in catching runaways
by a wiry little horse that he drives in a
light wagon. AS soon as a team starts
Moffatt takes after it in his rig. When he

The British ambassador to Japan
Talks About the Sealing Conference
and Hawaii.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-A special from

ambassador 10 Japan, is in Montreal on
his way to resume has duties in the
Mikado's kingdom. In an interview lie
discredited the stories of Japan's prepara-
tions for war. When asked what interest
Japan had in the sealing conference now
beig held IN Washington, he said she lad
none, out sim ply stayed in the conference
out of courtesy. She was, he said, misled
by Secretary Sherman. When Japan was
invited to take part in the conference,
she understood that England would also
participate. That was the information
conveyed her by Mr.. Sherman or his
representative. Upon no other condi-
tion would she have listened to the
proposal.
In regard 10 Hawaii he saiG that Japan
had certain rights in the islands which
she desired to see conserved. These
would be dealt with by diplomacy. If any
nation says TO America doug she will
be sure to annex Hawaii. England had
not done so. and he thought Japan would
follow her example.
