Rise in New York.
High-water mark for the season was
reached in the New York wheat market
Wednesday, not only on values, but as to
the volume Of transactions as well. Prices
advanced AZ to cents for the day and
sales reached the total of 1876. 900 BUSH
els. Excitement prevailed in the market
from start to finish, but particularly in
the last hour, when the advances became
so rapid that frequently the fluctuations
were marked by Nc fractions instead OF
y and Lice, changes that are ordinarily
seen. The total range on September was
from 91A to 943s, against S99s, the lowest
price Of Tuesday. Not in years has there
been such an extraordinary movement in
wheat values as took place Wednesday.

And Twenty-Five More Are Badly
Injured in Wreck at Lima, Ohio.
Lima special: A freight train on the
Lake Erie and Western crashed into an
excursion train on the Lima Northern, at
the crossing, less than two miles north of

stop, and his engine plunged into the pas

the two rear coaches, and into these the
freight train plunged, and in moment
there was pile Of wreckage, from which
came groans and shrieks of agony. A
messenger hurried to the city, and every
physician and ambulance in Lima was
hurried TO the scene of the wreck.

As to Feminine Happiness.

Some time ago the Review of Re
views published some replies received
by Signorina PaOla LombrOso, the
daughter of the celebrated Italian
alienist, to an inquiry which she set OF
foot to gather facts concerning femin
inc happiness. Here are some of them
"Women have a much better chance
of happiness than men."
"A certain degree of happiness ant
even a sufficiently complete happiness
can easily be attained by women, and
the proportion of women who are en-
tirely unhappy is comparatively small
"A love match and maternity are the
essential and decisive elements of hap
piness."
"a marriage contracted in the prime
of youth is the one which has the best
chances of happiness"
"A moderate fortune is more potent
factor of happiness than a large fort
une."
Intelligence and beauty are ele
ments which are not at all necessary tC

Pacificos Are Now Reported to Be
Dying by Hundreds.
The correspondent of the London Daily

further cruelty and distress in that is
land. He says the pacificos are dying by
the hundred, "their bodies tainting the
air close to Spanish fort"
Continuing, the correspondent remarks
that private letter has been received at
Havana from Senior Sagasta, the Liberal
leader in Spain, in which he says: "The
atrocities are raising a thrill of horror in
Europe, and fear it's impossible to raise
fresh loans, without which We cannot re-

Spanish troops in Cuba, see only relief
from the policy of conciliation" which
has resulted in such suffering to the pa
cifcos Of Cuba.
Recent Spanish reverses in Cuba and
complications that have arisen in the
home government since the assassination
of Senor Canovas del Castillo have un-
doubtedly brought about the resignation
Of Captain General Weyler, commander
in-chief of Cuba, who was appointed to
that position Jan. 10, 1885, two days after
the Spanish cabinet had recalled Captain
General Campos.
Senior Don Valeriano y Weyler Nico-
lau is, and for long time has been, one
Of the most conspicuous figures in Span
ish military history. His life has been
one of great military triumphs until he
attempted the pacificntion of Cuba eight
cen months ago, since when failure has
been his fate.
Step by step Weylcr has climbed the
ladder of rank. beginning as boyish cap
tain, reaching the position Of commander
in-chief. and wearing a coat that bears
upon 1t every cross and every badge of
military honor known In Spain, save those
reserved for royalty. With all this, which
has been brought about by career that
has met the approval of those above him
in rank, he has, by reason of his methods,
and through mercless determination
that has brought most sanguinary results,
been called ''the butcher" His methods
have been Spanish, and are consistent
with Spanish history.
With an iron hand and with promised
mercilessness, Gen. Weyler started to
crush the Cuban rebellion. He built
trochas, he made attacks, he burned and
otherwise destroyed provisions, he tried
to starve and in cases succeeded. He
planned campaigns while in Havana and
took the field in person. Through most
of the months in which the fighting has
continued there have been victories in
the dispatches and there have been de-
fents in the field.
Death has been on all sides-in the open
ground of battle, hidden ambush, the
burning building, the fever-infested
