WHEAT GOES no 90 GENTS.
Heavy Shipments and Reported Scarcity
of Supply Send it UP.

New York, Oct Interpretations that
December wheat would go to dollar
to-day We're almost realized, as the
market in the last hour touched ~
cents or an advance of about two cents
q bushel over last night. Scattered
selling by early purchasers, however,
finally stopped the advance. Statistics
at home and abroad and reports of
large export demands at seaboard and
interior points We're the factors.
Shipments from Atlantic ports during
the past three days have been over L.
100000 bushels, wheat and flour, while
northwestern receipts are away behind
last year. Bad winter wheat crop news
has added emphasis to the bull position.
Rumors to-day of December manipula-
ton and possible reduction in French
duty also helped in the advance. Mod
crate realizing just before the close left
prices as off from the top, but 1@13s
cents higher than last night The
range on December was from 975s to
90, closing at 9S5s. Total sales were s.
$4,000 bushels.

VAGRANTs ROUNDED UP.
Crowd of Idle Characters Captured by
Police Yesterday.

The police began yesterday the annu-
al roundup of idle characters who
flock to the city from surrounding
towns and the country each fall. It
has been found that these vagrants,
living in cheap lodging houses or on
the public squares, if they have not ten
cents to pay for a berth in lodging
house, furnish many of the petty
thieves and burglars whose depreda-
tions each fall and winter cause resi-
dents and the police much trouble.
Superintendent Wrinn yesterday
morning gave orders to the police and
detectives to keep on the lookout for
this class of transient residents, and to
arrest any characters about whom
lurked the least suspicion of idleness
and vagrancy. The first to round up a.
crowd was Detective McGrath. Yes
terday forenoon about 10 o'clock he
found crowd of seedy individuals
staying at a cheap lodging house at 10
Union street. He called the wagon
and the lot was taken in.
During the rest of the day and last
evening others were corralled until this
morning there were in the lookup about
twenty of these fellows, who have no
vocation and live by begging a dime
each day or from the returns from
some petty theft. Although some in
the crowd may be honest men out Of
work, it is thought rnat more are dam
gerous to the law-abiding community
and it's property, and probably few mis-
takes have been made in the captures.
| All will be charged with vagrancy in
the city court this morning, and the
probability is that they will receive
from ten to thirty days in Jail each, ac-
cording as to whether or not they can
give good accounts of themselves.

WHAT HAS SPAIN SAID?
STATE OFFICIALS REFUSE TO DIS
CLOSE HER ANSWER.

Gen. WoOdford's Cablegram Received and
Observation-Disclosures Reads It-Wil be
Submitted to the Cabinet-Reported to
be Neither in Language Nor Subject Mat
ter Offensive to This Country.
Washington, Oct. 27.--The event of
the day at the state department was
the receipt of the long expected cable
gram from Minister Woodford at Mad
rid, transmitting the answer of the
Spanish government to his representa-
tions in the interests of peuce in Cuba.
The message began to come in install
ments at 2 o'clock last night and it
was nearly noon to-day before it was
all in.
1t was not the length of the message
that occupied the wires all Of that time.
but the fact that it was all in groups
of figures and that it was probably be-
ing filed in small patches as it was
turned into the complicated cipher in
Madrid. All of this work had to be un-
done at the state department and the
message translated from the cipher
back again into good English.
This occupied nearly all of the day
so that it was $3.50 o'clock before the
first fair copy of the message was turn
ed out. There was a little less than
1000 words in the message. for Mr..
Woodford, instead of cabling the whole
answer to his note, had contented him
self with reducing the matter to a brief
outline. The first copy was taken at
once to the president, not being in
trusted to a messenger, but being deliv-
cred by Chief Clerk Michaels in person
at the white house.
After due opportunity had been al
lowed the president to read the mes
sage an application was made for a
statement of it's contents or nature
This was declined by Secretary Porter
and it was said that under no circum-
stances would the correspondence be
made public before consideration by the
cabinet.
From unofficial information that has
reached certain officials in advance of
this message, as to the nature Of the
Spanish reply, it is evident that neither
in language nor subject matter is the
communication likely to be taken as Of
fensive by our government. 1t may be,
it is true, regarded as insufficient to
meet the issue made by Mr.. Woodford
in his note, but officials of the state de-
partment say that in view of what has
already been accomplished by the new
Snanjsh ca binet in reforming abuses In
Cuba in removing Weyler and in pro-
jecting what appears to be a liberal
measure of autonomy our government
will certainly rest until congress
assemblies and afford the new Spanish
government a reasonable time to carry
out it's plans.

DUCHESS OF TEcK DEAD.
Cousin of Queen Vtctorin-Had Been Ill
But n Short Time.

Richmond, England, Oct 27-The
toria, sister of the Duke of Cambridge,
and mother-in-law Of the Duke of York,
died at the White Lodge here at three
o'clock this morning.
Inquiries made to-day at the White
Lodge the residence here of the Duke
and Duchess of Teck, show that 1t was
only when the duchess returned from
the north a few days ago. that there
were slight symptoms of a. recurrence
of the strangulated hernia, for which
she was operated upon in July last, but
it was not expected that serious conse-
quences would enst.e. On Monday,
however, the duchess became really i'll,
and on Tuesday she became worse, and
the London specialists who had previ-
ously operated upon her were summon
ed to Richmond They held consulta-
ton and decided last evening that the
life could not be sustained without an
other operation. This was successfully
performed, but the duchess gradually
sank, and died at three o'clock this
morning. The Duke of Teck is pros
trated with grief at the death of his
wife.
Later in the day an official statement
was issued to the effect that the Ouch
ess of York died of cardiac failure two
hours after the operation which was
performed upon her.
The Duchess of Teck, or, as she was
far better known, the Princess Mary
of Cambridge, was one Of the most
popular members of the English royal
family, and was remarkable among
them for her unfaiing good nature and
unaffected charm of manner. She was
daughter of Prince Adolphus Freder-
ick, the seventh son of George Ill, and
was the younger sister of the present
Duke of Cambridge for 80 many years
the commander-in-chie of the British
army. She was married to the Duke
of Teck in 1866, and one of her chill
dren, the Princess Victoria. is wife of
the Duke of York, and will become, in
due time, Queen Of England.
The duchess was active in all man.
ner of good work, and played a promi
nent part in all kinds of public func-
tions, such as the opening of hospitals,
the laying Of corner-stones, the pre-
sentation of prizes, etc. She was pres
ident of a number of associations for
the betterment of the condition of wo-
men. and took great interest in all in
stitutions for the development of female
art work of every description. When
ever she appeared on any public occa-
sion she was always the recipient of an
especially hearty greeting. Some time
ago she underwent a serious surgical
operation, but it was generally UNDER
stood that she had completely recover
ed from it's effects, and until recently
she had been leading her usual active
life. Her death will be the cause of
widespread sorrow,

WOMEN WORKING FOR LOW
BIG RALLY UNDER THEIR A AUSPICES
IN COOPER UNION.
Col. Waring, Mayor Strong, Seth Low and
Low Says the Citizens Union was Formed
to Secure an Honest Administration of
the Affairs of the City.

New York, Oct. 27.-Cooper Union,
that historic rendezvous for politicians,
was never before the scene of such
strange political meeting as that which
took place there this afternoon. The
majority of those at the meeting were
women, and women from Murray Hill
and the Riverside Drive and West End
avenue at that. 1t might be thought
that woman's suffrage had come at
last if one went near to Cooper Union
at any time after o'clock in the af-
ternoon. They came in carriages
which were left standing all around the
Bowery and Fourth avenue. The wo-
men were adherents of the Woman's
Municipal league which advocates the
election of Seth Low, and the meeting
they got up was designed to show what
they could do in a political way even if
they did not have votes.
Colonel George e. Waring called the
meeting to order, and introduced Mayor
Strong. In the course of his address
the mayor said:
"It was thought three years ago that
Tammany had been killed. Since then
another body of the same kind has
arisen. If we could see their corresp0n-
dence we would see that they intend to
corrupt the police department ten days
before election, and 1 would ask what
would they do if they got into power?"
Seth Low was greeted with cheers as
he arose to speak. He said that New
York, although so great city, had be-
come a by-word among the nations
through the character of it's govern
ment Speaking of the citizens union,
he said:
"It has been made up of laboring
men professional men, merchants, bank
ers, of men who represent all the great
interests of the city,. who give to the
city it's credit among the nations and
they have said, We are going to nomi
nate men this year to give the people
a chance to show whetner they can
elect officers chosen in their interest.
Can they do it?
1T is perfectly clear to you what the
men who stand on that platform are
pledged to serve the city with whole
heart and to serve the city only.
They have not been selected by enc
man. They have not been endorsed by
the machine controlled by one man.
They come before you representing all
the people of this great city and they
ask for your support because they do
'If you want a city government that
shall be representative Of the people
as whole, then l say support this
ticket"
The Rev. DR.. Rainsford was the next
speaker.

The Boar's Head.

Aside from it's religious observance
and signitication Christmas has always
been a time Of feasting and jollifcation.
This temperament has descended to US
from the days Of the old Germanic and
Scandinavian nations, when the time
was set aside for rejoicing and pleasure
prior to the Christian era, but even as
late as the seventeenth century in Eng
land and throughout continental Europe
the delights Of the table were para
mount. With our forefathers a soused
boar's head was borne to the principal
table in the hall with great state and
solemnity as the first dish on Christmas
day. In the book of "Christmasse Car
olles." printed by Wynkyn de Worde
in 1921, are the words sung at this aus
picious moment:
The bore's head in handle bring
With garlandes gay and rosemary.
Ipray you all synge merely
Qui estis in convivio.
The bores head understands
Is the chefe servyce in this lande.
Loke wherever it be fande
Servite cum cantico
Chaucer alludes to this custom in the
following passage Of the "Franklein'
Tale"
James sitteth by the fire with double berd,
And he drinketh of his bugle horne the wine.
Before him standeth the braune OF the tusked
