Republicans Were coDgratnlating them
selves yesterday upon a report that came
from San Francisco indicating an unusual
demand for American wheat, and they
were predicting still further increase in
the price OF that article. For the first time
in the history of the Pacific coast an i'm
porting firm at Rio de Janeiro sent two
chartered ships to San Francisco with in
structions to secure cargoes of wheat ex
clusively. This wheat is to be taken around
the Horn and up TO Brazil to meet the de
mAnd there. According to the report the
wheat crop in the Argentine Republic,
Para quay, and Uruguay is a total failure
and it becomes necessary for the first
time to import that cereal from the United
States. This Ghortage, taken In connection
with the poor crops OF Europe, ought to
send the price of American wheat up stin
higher, and in the natural course of events.

Providence, r. L, Aug 12--Many
subjects from President Andrews
resignation TO the appointment of Mr..

Speaking Of President Andrews he
said:
II have tender regard for President
Andrews. 1 wish to put on record ny
emphatic opinion that a college presi-
dent or professor has as much right TO
express his opinion on a question af-
fecting the community as any man in
the country. Not only has he the
privilege but the community has the
right to know what he thinks. Yet l
cannot see what the trustees of Brown
have done that there should be all this
pow wow The trustees have not
closed President Andrews up"
Senator 'Hoar vigorously defended
the appointment of Mr.. Sherman as
secretary of state.
President McKinley's appointments
he said, have received general COM
mendation Yet some papers have
made exception to the chorus of ap-
pr rotation by denouncing the appoint
ment as secretary of state of gentle
man who is the most illustrious in the
Republican party-one without a rival
or competitor, a gentleman to whom
has been due since the war and under
great temptations, the fact that the
people have pursued the path of good
faith, especially in the payment of
public debts"
