With u wheat crop of 575 mil
lion bushels in sight in the Unit
ed States and an unusually light
crop predicted in all the other
great grain-producing countries
of the world, the prospects of the
American farmer are bright.
The recent issue of ''Brad-
Streets which is usually very
conservative in it's views as to
the business future, calls atten-
tion to the fact that the stock of
wheat in hand at present is un-
usually light, being only Is mil
lion bushels, while nearly all the
great grain producing countries
of the world have unusually light
crops this year. Recent reports,
it says, from Russia, Germany,
France, and Hungary point to
decreased wheat harvests, and
India will hardly supply her
home demand, with like reports
from Australia and Argentine,
and adds: s'This brings the
United States to the front as a
prominent wheat exporter under
similar conditions to those which
existed in 1879 over the revival
succeeding the great panic after
five or six years of retrenchment
and economy" The same bub-
LEGATION calls attention to the fact
that during the month of June
there was an advance in cotton,
cotton seed oil, tobacco, bacon,
lard, rice, corn, oats, barley,
peas, milk, wheat, and other farm
products.

HANSBR0UGH'S ENGAGEMENT.
More Particulars of the North "a
kota Senator's Affaire de
Occur.

Washington special to Chicago
Tribune: The engagement has been
announced of Senator Hansbrough of
North Dakota and Miss Chapman, of
Washington and New York. The
date of the marriage has been set for
Aug. 20. Senator Hansbrough and
his bride-elect have been acquainted
but six brief weeks and the courtship
has been most romantic. It was a
case of love at first sight on behalf of
both. The fair bride-to-be of this sem
ator from the far northwest is un-
usually handsome, talks we'll, writes
we'll, and has decided bent for art,
to which she has given much study the
last few years. Senator Hansbrough
is in the very prime of life, widower,
his wife having died in this city few
years ago. He is fine looking and an
immense favorite in feminine society.
After a short bridal trip Senator
Hansbrough will take his young wife
to his home in the northwest, and next
winter she will be one of the youngest
and most attractive wives in the sem
atorial circle. 1t is q great disap-
pointment to Senator Hansbrough' 8
friends both in and out of the official
contingent that the event will not take
place in Washington. The ceremony
is to be performed in New York, where
Miss Chapman formerly resided and
where she spends much of her time.

The Sumner Wash. Herald, a
populist paper, writes up the
populist governor of the state OF
Washington in the following Ian
guage:
In a newspaper interview the
other day Governor Rogers said:
81 may fail, but our cause will
win. I am only one of the work
ers for humanity; I may fail. :"
All, me, II may fall" If he had
the intuition of a clam or the in
stinctive cognition of a lost calf,
he would know that he has failed,
and that most signally on almost
every opportunity that has pre-
sented itself since his Inaugural
tion. He has proved himself to
be an avatar of haughtiness, the
incarnation of egotism, the en-
bodiment of conceit, the consum-
nation of stupidity. He is a
rampant socialist, an irrespress-
ible gabatorium, a pestiferous
d demagogue- an epitome of fail
ure. He has incurred the utter
disgust of nine-tenths of his
party, the hostility of it's great
rank and file. He is a stumbling
block to it's future success, the
Old Man of the Sea on the neck
of the fusion Sinbad.

Various Ways of Correctly Guiding the
Course OF Vessel.

Course OF Vessel.
Gustav kobbe contributes nh article
to st. Nicholas. Mr.. Kobbe says:
Sailors steer by the wake of the ship.
When IL vessel is running free-that is,
with the wind dead astcrn-she must
leave a straight wake, or she is not run
ming Straight course. When she is ''on
the wind," her canvas full, not shiver-
ing-when she is
As near as she will lie
By keeping full and bye
her wake will be at an angle greater or
less, according to the force Of the wind
and the speed Of the vessel. This angle
measures what we call the ships lee
way"-that which she loses from true
course. With vessel hove to in a gale
the leeway becomes very large and is
called the drift. -
Coasting craft steer by the line Of
white surf on the shore or in thick
weather by its roar as it breaks on
the beach or rocks. They haul in to
catch the sound, then keep off until
they lose it, and then haul in again to
a central line and maintain it, An old
sea dog once told me that one thick
night, coming up along the coast with
a head wind SO that they had to tack in
and off shore, they sailed their tacks,
or ran their "legs," by candles-run-
ming off shore long enough to burn out
two candles, but burning one for the
inshore leg, SO as to avoid standing in
too close.
The Alaska steamers on the inside
route between the main coast and nu-
merous outlying islands steer, even in
running through the narrowest chan
nels, by the varying echoes of the pad
dies from the shores.
A given course can also be run by
soundings. or, rather, by line Of
soundings. In entering New York har-
Dor keep in, say, Is, 20, 40 fathome, no
less, until you get 10 fathoms. If then
the lead shows fine white sand, look out
for Sandy Hook lightship. Coarse yell
low sand will land you Oh Fire island.

standard more convenient, it en-
ables the country to avoid violent
fluctuations of prices and tends
to develop her industry. Again,
q gold standard diminishes the
exchange fluctuations. Japan IS
commerce has been frequently
hampered by the fluctuation of
exchange with gold countries
consequent upon the fluctuation
of silver. If she adopts a gold
standard now, all such evils will
not be repeated. Another ad-
vantage is that of enabling the
country to extend her machinery
of circulation. As Japan pro-
crosses it becomes necessary for
her to be in constant touch with
various foreign markets, but at
present she is isolated from for
eign countaies in respect of cir
culation. Such inconvenience
will be obviated by gold stand
ard, which will render the circu-
lation between foreign and native
markets smooth, and give many
other financial advantages. -

sukata, Japanese Premier to the
Japanese Diet, March 3, 1897, in
favor of the adoption of the gold
gtanpard.

Tho Gravitation Theory.

III one OF his lectures before tho Low
ell institute, Boston, recently Professor
g. F. Wright combated the supposition
that the conclusions of modern physical
science are free from difficulties and
clear Of all doubt. Instead of such be-
ing the case science, he declares, is lead
ing deeper and deeper into mysteries
and substituting instead Of single mys-
teries an ever increasing multitude for
each one. He instanced in illustration
the Newtonian theory of gravitation as
|. involving paradoxes to this day unex.
planned, arguing that if bodies act up
OH each other at a distance without any
intervening medium then thing can
act where it is not, which is an absurd
ity. while, on the other haud, if there
is !. material medium filing all space,
md gravity is transmitted through
that by push rather than by pull,
then the transmission ought to occupy
some appreciable time, but this it does
net do, and at any rate, if its action is
not absolutely instantaneous, its veloci-
ty must be at least fifty million times
greater than that of light. Moreover,
evc-y effort to represent gravitation as
the result of a push from behind in
wolves absurdities Of various kinds. In
fact, Newton g final conclusion was that
the philosophy Of gravitation ia abso-
lutely inconceivable and its action para,
3Oxical.
The Candle Thief.
An odd experience befell Mr.. Hunter
during his return from hunting trip
to the settlement last fall. One evening
he left candle burning on the table in
the Forty-nine Mile camp while he
went out to the howell to look after his
horses. To his surprise when he re-
turned to the camp the candle was not
only extinguished but could nowhere be
found. Mr.. Hunter is not entirely free
from the influence Of those wild, weird
legends peculiar to the backwoods Of the
Miramichi, especially those that relate
to a fabulous monster known as "the
Dungarvon Hooper - He lit another
candle, however. and again went out to
attend to his team. When he came back
to the camp he found that the second
candle had vanished as mysteriously as
the first. This was severe blow to Mr..
Hunters peace of mind, but he pulled
himself together and examined the camp
thoroughly to see II some practical joker
was nat concealed about the premises.
Findiisgno trace Of anything in human
form, ns placed his third and last can
die on the table, stood his az within
easy reach and awaited developments.
In few minutes flying squirrel hop
ped in the door, boldly mounted the
table and knocked over the candle, thus
extiDguishing the flame. He started for
the door with his booty, when Mr..
Hunter took hand in it and put the
little rascal to fight Fredericton IN.
