Californian, to Change
Her Faith.
Not a Woman's Whim, but a Result
Of Years Of Study and
Research,

NEW YORK. N. Y, Aug. ga most
unusual ceremony will be performed to-
morrow evening upon the platform of
New Century Hail, 500 Fifth avenue.
when Countess NJ. de Canavarro will be
Dnarmapala, a priest of the Brahma-
Somaj sect. The priest will repeat in his
native language the formula of the oath
of Buddha, which will be repeated by the
pfoseiyte.
This will be but the second ceremony Of
the kind ever performed in this country,
although in Europe the ancient faith is
finding many converts. The first Ameri-
can convert was ]. w. Strauss of this city :,
who took the oath of allegiance under this
same priest in Chicago four years ago.
Dharmapala was a representative to the
Parliament of Religions held in Chicago
and did much to make the tenets of Bud
dhism better known to this country.
Countess de Canavarro is an American
woman, about % years of age a native of
California, who married a foreigner. Fur
ther than that she will say nothing what
ever about her family affairs.

that the philosophy of my religion was
not satisfactory. so 1 began the study Of
the others.
II made a careful examination of the
tenets of theosophy, but l was not salts

Buddhism l found just that philosophy
which seemed best to me-those teachings
which seemed to me to be more nearly

that l met Dharmapala, and have con-
sented to this pubic ceremony merely in
order that the public may become better
acquainted with the facts relating to my
conversion, and that it might lead to
more general study.

devote the rest of my Life to studying this
faith among the natives"
The Countess said that the Count her

Fierce Onslaught of the Rebels on
Important Towns in laguna

TACOMA. WASH. Aug. 29.-The latest
advices from Manila papers, brought by
the steamer Columbia, show that the re-
bellion is still far from being crushed. A
determined attack has been made on the
important town of Magcarlang in Laguna
Province, by a party of rebels under the

troops, being outnum bered, retired to the
convent, where they fortified themselves

General Iaramillo when the rebels re.
tired, leaving twenty-five dead. but carry

Spanish loss is not stated. The friarpriest
OF the town fought like lion.
In Bulacan province parties OF rebels
attacked The towns OF Mecanyanan, An

province, a party OF 300 insurgents made
an attack on the hamlet of Bulac. but after
severe fighting were repulsed with loss Of
twenty killed.

Outlook for the TMture Is Bright, and
Gold IL in Demand for i1port.
LONDON. ENG, Aug. 29.-The past
week was an unusually brisk one in finan-
cal circles for a holiday season, and the
outlook for future operations is bright.
The money market gained steadiness and
rates are higher. Gold is still demanded
for export. The Bank of England has
tasen another half million pounds, max
ing f2 500 600 in three weeks, which gives
it control of the situation, so i: is not
likely that rates will be raised unless the
demand becomes great. The probability
of exports of gold TO the United States is
much discussed Silver during the week
touched the record figure of 23A per
ounce, but recovered to 24d. The stock
settlement which was above the average,
showed that stock was scarce, making
clearing" hazardous. The enormous
grain traffic slim uated business in Ameri-
can railroad securities. Fear is felt that
the advances will not be permanent.
Mining stocks showed some uneasiness,
but the trouble blew over. There was o
slight decline, however.

GREAT SHORTAGE
TN The HARVEST
Worlds Yield This Year
Is Extraordinarily
Light.
Many Countries Will Depend
Upon America for Their
Wheat.
Falling Off In Crops OF Lands Which
Heretofore We're Heavy
Exporters.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, Aug. 29.-The
Ministry of Agriculture has issued its an
nual estimate, in which it describes the
worlds harvest as extraordinarily light.
The total yield of wheat is placed at $751;
900, 900 metric hundred weight, while the
present annual requirements are es!i-
mated at 655, $4,000 metric hundred
weights. 1t is calculated that for 1897 and
1898 there will be shortage of so, 800, 900
hundred weight
The stocks remaining on hand from 1896
are approximately estimated at some
where between 3SOO0,00O and 45 600, co.,
The total supply for the year, reckoning
is estimated from 61O, 900 600 to 651, DOC, goo
metric hundred weight.
The worlds deficits are estimated as
follows: Rye, $1,000, 900 hectolitres; bar
ley, 3s.oOO,OOO; oats, 5S,OOO,00O corn,
So 600, 900.
The reports state many exporting
countries, such as Turk ey, Egypt, Aus
traIia and Austria Hungary, will either
be unable to export grain or will be COM
PEELED to import, while others, including
British India, Argentina and Chile, will
have their wheat export considerably re-
duced. The favored countries are the
United States and Canada.
The yield of wheat in Great Britain this
season is 50, ZOO, 600 bushels, against s. co.,
600 last year.
The wheat area of British India is re-
duced from %. 600, 900 to 100000 acres.
and the wheat Weld from 234, 100000
bushels to 202. 600, 900 bushels.
The United States has reduced its area
sown in oats by 2 600, 900 acres, that sown
in corn by 10000 acres. while that in
other grain remains nearly unchanged, but
will, nevertheless, dispose OF 534 000 600
bushels of wheat against 434, 900. 600 bushels
last year. allowing the transportation of
100 600, 600 bushels OF wheat, while the
exports of corn will possibly be so, 000, 900
greater than those of last year. The pros
poets fo- oats and barley are less favora BILE
than in 1896. The price OF bread in Austria
has already risen 80 per cent.

on down by train.
II suppose there was about s43,o in
orr crowd.
This is all talk about another big ship
ment of gold coming out. There has
been no large clean up since the main
one. Miners are keeping what gold they
have right in Dawson for the purpose OF
making investments and doing further
prospecting. There is over $780, 600 in
Dawson now for development purposes.
Joe McNamee, mem Der Of our party,
left $4,000 in camp at Dawson with his
partner to use when a good opportunity
is offered.
IA rich find has recently been made on
Manook Creek, tributary of the Yukon,
about 900 miles below Dawson and on the
American side of the line. Just before We
stopped there on our way down two men
had got down TO bedrock at eighteen feet
and taken out 125 ounces of gold from
box and half of dirt. McNamee paid
$500 for half interest in a claim there.
Just to show his good will.
There are only about dozen men left
in Circle City. The whole town
