Large Receipts of Corn Mt Chicago.


Chicago grain elevators received g.
100000 bushels Of corn Monday in one
consignment. This establishes new
record by big margin for twenty.
four hours in the receiving busin ess.
Sixty per cent. of the consignment is
for the foreign market. It took 5000
cars to carry the consignment. These
were divided into 100 trains of thirty
cars each. The record-breaking re.
ceipt is credited to the feeling among
the farmers that corn was to follow
wheat skyward. Prices in the corn
pit were little affected by this arrival
Of the unusual shipment. The aver
sge price for the 2,100, 600 bushels is
estimated at thirty cents per bushel.

TO BE REoRGANlzEp.
Changes to Affect the North Atlantic
War ships.

New York.--A dispatch to the Trib-
une from Washington says. The Navy
Department has taken under consider
alton the reorganization of the North
Atlantic feet, which now includes five
flag officers, in addition to providing
duty for the commanders of a large
number of vessels which will be placed
out OF commission in the next two or
three weeks. When the force is re-
duced, at least three of the flag officers
on the home station will lie rendered
super fiuous and are to be ordered to
other assignments.
1t is considered likely that the North
Atlantic station will be divided and
one flag officer, probably Admiral
Sampson, retained in command OF the
home feet, while Admiral Schley OF
Admiral Howell will be placed in
charge OF newly organized squadron OF
the West Indies, limited by the Gull
of Mexico and the Caribbean sea.
1t is the impression among naval
officers that Admiral Schley will seize
the opportunity to secure command Of
the Pacific squadron on the retirement
of Admiral Miller ON November 22d,
and will be content to wait ashore the
few weeks between the termination Of
his services on the Porto Rican Com.
mission and Admiral Millers' retire
ment, which would enable him to

New York.-A Sun cable from San
Juan saws: Colonel Camo, chief OFF,
Ger Of the military staff OF Captain
General Macias, handed in his resigna-
ton. II is understood that his action
was due 70 his desire to remain in
Porto Rico instead Of returning to
spain when the Spanish troops are
withdrawn from the island in accord
ance with the conditions Of peace.
Macias has not yet indicated whether
he will accept the resignation, and his
action in the matter is anxiously
awaited by number OF other Spanish
officers.
Colonel Camo is third ranking Off
Ger in the Spanish army in Porto Rico,
having only one superior besides Ma
cias, and his retirement from the
Spanish service is therefore very sig
nificant. II he succeeds in withdraw
ing from the army, it is expected that
his example will be followed by a
large number Of other officers. These
have established homes and financial
interests here.
Though the conditions of peace have
not yet been officially promulgated,
the public has been in possession OF
the facts through the enterprise OF The
editor Of FL Buscapie, a local daily

forty-Six Killed and One Hundred
Wounded.
HOngkOng. -Ofieers Of the steamer
China from Manila, which has arrived
here, report that it was evident that
the resistance OF the Spaniards when
Manila was attacked By the Americans
was merely nominal and was made
solely to maintain the honor Of Spain.
The officers talked with express the
belief that the escape OF Governor
General Anguish was prearranged and
was well understood by Admiral
Dewey.
A dispatch from Manila says the
total number of killed on the American
side during the attack upon and cap
ture of Manila was forty-six and the
wounded about 100. The Spanish
losses were about 200 killed and 400
wounded. The fire Of the Americans
did practically no damage to the town
nor to the non-combatants. The
Americans had considerable difficulty
in keeping the insurgents out of the
city, only admitting those who were
without weapons.
Five insurgents we're shot while loot
ing at Tondo. An insurgent officer be.
came involved in a quarrel with {
Spaniard in the Escolta, in the Binond,
suburb, during which the SpaniarC
fired upon the insurgent, infiictinl
wounds in the latter's legs. The Span
lard was arrested and imprisoned.
General Merritt has issued procla
nation decreeing that the provisional
Government and the local authorize
shall remain unchanged for the pres
ent, except SO far as the supreme juris
diction is concerned. The proclama
tion further declares that any nativ
who resists the present authorize
shall be treated as lawbreaker.
| General Jaudenes, in the course O
an interview bad with him by tn
representative Of the Associated Press
said he knew the fight was hopeless
one, but that he intended to resist tn
Americans in the name of honor, bu
vas persuaded to surrender for tn
sake of the non-combatants. He eulo
igzed the Americans for the humani it
they have shown.

Asked For a Shirt and Got a wife.

During the civil war there was Ger.
tain young lady in Georgetown who
found it i'll her power to do great deal
for the Confederate soldiers confined
in prison at Washington. Young, beau
tiful, cultured, popular, Of wealthy
and prominent family, she was fire.
quently allowed admission to the pris-
on, whittier she always took her maid
with well stocked basket of good
things for the poor boys behind the bars.
One day as she was passing through a
group of men in the common prison she
stopped and said to them:
IF there is anything you would like
to have that can bring you, won't you
let me know? | shall be very glad. :"
One man stepped forward promptly.
Bowling most courteously. he said
IF you will be so kind, l should like
very much to have clean shirt"
He was young lieutenant from
Louisiana, one of the handsomest and
most elegant men ever met, and when
that young lady looked up into his
brown eyes she found it in her heart to
give him much more than clean shirt.
for she married him as soon as the war
was over. Philadelphia Times.

NO MORE BOND ISSUE.
Present War Taxes Sufficient for In
creased Expenditures.

Present WAR IhXCb
creased Expenditures.
Washington. 1t Is the opinion Of
the officials of the Treasury Depart
ment that there will be no necessity
for another bond issue, growing out OF
the war, and that the present slight
notifications should be retained on
the statute book for an indefinite
period. The following may be taken
as the views of the Treasury Depart
ment on the subject:
1T may be confidently hoped that
no further issues OF bonds will be
necessary in connection with bringing
the extraordinary war expenditure to a
close. With the Treasury we'll sup
piled for the early future and with the
power conferred upon the Secretary to
make temporary loans to the extent
of 500, O0o, 900, If required, any fur
ther resort to bond issues seems most
remote probability.
"This view is reinforced by the fact
that with the operation of the new ex-
else and stamp taxes the revenues OF
the Government will largely exceed
disbursements based upon ordinary
peace conditions. This increase in
revenue ought to and will provide for
an increase in war and navy expen-
ditures which no doubt will be wit
messed even after military operations
have terminated. That enlarged ex.
penditures for the navy and the army
over expenditures in the past will bt
necessary is most obvious, and it is q
matter of congratulation that by the
wise action Of Congress the Government
has been put on broad and effective
basis

summer Feeding.

Better to feed too little than too
much. The latter might engender dis
ease, while the former would only al
low the poultry to become rather poor
of flesh. 1t is right to provide food
when it is actually needed, but all
surplus food not appropriated to the
production OF eggs goes to fat. Sum-
mer eggs may be gathered plentifully
enough up to real moulting time, foods
are conditioned for their production.
Even in California poultry needs more
warmth-giving sustenance in winter
than in summer. Let us apply little
reasoning to this feeding business:
1t is winter; the chickens are laying
we'll; they eat we'll, for besides that
which is necessary to the production of
eggs they need food to appropriate for
warmth. Otherwise they would not
lay. Now it is summer, and the
warmth-giving surplus is not needed,
the necessary amount of feed to pro-
duee eggs over and above sustenance
for bodily structure being all that is
required. 1t is erroneous to think
that the more you feed the more eggs
you will be able to gather. Over feed
ing retards egg production. The mat
ter not needed for health of body and
production of eggs produces fat. Feed
too much and the gizzard becomes fat,
encysted and quite powerless to per-
form its Office; the crop tries to empty
itself but cannot; sour crop follows,
then fermentation, producing peri
tonitis, then dysentery and death, if
the case be aggravated.-Dr. S. l..
Roberts in California Cultivator and
Poultry Keeper.

PLANNING TO DELAY.
Spain Is Preparing to PrOtract
Sessions of the Commissions.
THE CUBAN DEBT TO BE DISCUSSED.
Overtures for Commercial Treaties That
VIII Give Her Special Advantages
i'm the West Indies.

kNew York-A World cable from
Madrid says:l Spain is studiously pre-
pairing to protract the sessions of the
joint peace and military commissions,
for weeks certainly, and for months il
possible. Every conceivable point
which can be disputed over, legitimate
or not, will be raised and discussed to
the limit. The Government will cable
the Spanish members of the West In
dian commissions to arrange for the
evacuation OF Cuba and Porto Rico, a
long series of topics they must suggest
and debate. Careful instructions, how
to urge them and what positions to
take will also be sent.
For instance, army delegates are to
raise multitude of questions and
bubble over them about the conditions
of evacuation; how long period shall
be allowed for getting Spain's troops
out; how arms and other munitions of
war shall be sent home; how men shall
be transported; upon which side shall
fall the expense OF each one of an in
finity OF details connected with the
abandoning of the islands.
Then the navy delegates are to ex-
haust the subjects land American COM
missioners) of the rights and claims
of Spain in regard TO all ports, arsen-
ais, docks, defenses and everything else
that promises an opportunity for par
leying. Both the army and navy rep
resentatives will be charged to insist
upon Spain's alleged rights in respect
to forts, barracks, palaces, prisons,
public buildings. roads, state lands
and all such things. They, further
more, will be directed to debate over
what shall be done with convicts in
penitentiaries, prisoners in jails under
sentence, over the status of courts,
laws and legislation.
1t is evidently part of Spain 8
plan to seek to establish before the
Paris Peace Commission a prima iacie
case with regard to the Cuban debt.
She will try to bring out strongly all
points touched upon so that her COM
missioners may argue forcibly in favor
of requiring Cuba to pay at least a
part of the debt incurred prior to 1895,
in order to offset the outlay OF the
Madrid Government in those directions
in previous years. The Ministry is
sanguine that the Spanish Cuban and
Porto Rican commissioners will make
much easier the task OF the Spanish
members of the grand commission in
Paris, before which the Cuban debt
certainly will be pressed to the utmost
Spain purposes, moreover, to make
overtures in the Peace Commission
for commercial treaties which shall
give her special trade advantages ia
Cuba and Porto Rico in exchange FOL
concessions to the United States in tn,

London.-The morning papers COM
ment upon the proposed immense in
crease in the American Navy. The
Standard says: such fleet, opera
ting from Manila as base, would be
able to exercise considerable influence
upon the progress of events in Chinese
waters, and, added to the English
China squadron and the Japanese navy,
would make mighty armament in
deed.
The Standard suggests that this
consideration may cause Russia to
pause.
The Daily Mail says: THE new pro-
gramme is startling in its immensely.
The American Navy jumps to fourth
place among the worlds fleets. 1t
will not long remain fourth, nor
will it be long before the United
States will have policy in China.

Good Points of Cross-Breds.

1t is strange how some poultry au-
thorities cannot see any good in cross
bred fowls. Just recently it has been
stated that so much "mongrelizing"
is running the poultry OF the country,
and that in the cultivation of pure
breeds alone the salvation OF the in
dustry is to be found. We don't for a
moment believe it. Pure breeds are
indispensable, but many of them are
played out as far as utility points are
concerned. Any one who stocked
his yards with Brahams, Cochins, or
some other of our pure ancient breeds,
would find the balance of his account
on the wrong side of the book at the
end of the year. Many OF the newer
breeds which have been produced by
crossing Tor as some people would call
it "mongrelizing'') are miles ahead OF
the old ones as far as utility is con-
cerned. One or two of these can with
difficulty be eaten by any cross-bred
fowl, but, on the whole, judiciously
bred first crosses will produce more
eggs in year than any average lot OF
pure-bred fowls which can be picked
up. But where really good laying
strain of the latter can be obtained,
combined with good show points, and
there is good market for pure-b bred
fowls, it will pay better to cultivate
pure-bred birds.-London Farmer and
| Stockman.

Peculiaritles Of the Potato.

The opinion has prevailed among
housekeepers that it is the good potato
which breaks open when it is boiled.
A scientist who has made potatoes
study insists that the good potato is the
one that remains quietly in its coating
of brown during all of the processes Of
cooking. Instead Of the swelling and
bursting Of the skin being caused by
the presence of starch it has been as
certained that albumen is the substance
that causes this breaking open. An or.
binary potato is made mp of three
fourths of its weight in water, two
tenths in starch and one-fiftieth of nj
trogenous matter. II it cracks and falls
to pieces during the process of boiling.
it is deficient in albumen, and therefore
lacking in the most important constit-
uent.-New York Ledger. -
