Owing to the rapid development dur
ing the last few years of new wheat
producing areas in other parts of the
world and the increasing competition
the United States is thus compelled to
meet in the markets of Europe. the
future disposal of our surplus wheat
is becoming a problem of no little i'm
portance. AS a solution o. this dim
Guilty 1t has been suggested that the
changes now taking place in the civ-
Ilizations OF Japan and China may re-
suit In the opening there of markets
for our wheat that will to some extent
compensate us for possible losses to be
incurred through the growing compe-
tition OF other countries In the Euro
pean markets we were formerly able to
control. There are certainly some very
encouraging indications as to the
plausibility of this suggestion. CHIEF
among these indications Is the remark
able manner in which our expectations
OF wheat to Eastern Asia have In
creased during the decade Just closing.
Most OF this wheat Is shipped in the
form Of flour. the exports OF grain be-
ing comparatively small. The total
shipments OF wheat flour from the Uni
ted States to Japan and China (inciud-
ing Hongkong) during the ten years
ended June 30, 1896. according to the
ofhcial trade returns published by the
Bureau Of Statistics OF the Treasury
Department. amounted to fully 6.OO0,-
900 barrels. and by far the larger part
OF this quantity was exported In the
latter half Of the decade.

COLLISION IN NORTH RIvER.
Two Excursion Boats Come Together

Two Excursion Boats Come Together Three Persons Probably Drowned. New York, Sept. 15.-The big Hud- son river steamboat Catskill of the night line and the still larger excur- sion boat St. Johns came into collision at 6:3O tonight in the North river off Fifty-ninth street, this city. The St. Johns, which was returning from a Gay trip up the river, had fully one thou sand excursionists on board, and the other boat had started on its regular night trip with about thirty passen- gers.
 As the result of the smash-up the Catskill Is now a wreck on the Jersey shore at Weehawken, one of her pas- sengers Is patient at the Roosevelt hospital, and three others are said to be in the wreck at the bottom of the river. The St. Johns was damaged, but none of her passengers or crew was hurt. The Catskill was in charge of Captain Cooper, and Captain Cook was in command of the St. Johns.
 The collision was due to misunder- standing of the signals which were passed between the two vessels.

NO SUPPLIES UP THE YUKON. Senator Perkins Says That it is ImpossibI, tn Relieye the Miners at KInndikn

Washington, Sept. 15-In response to his telegram of yesterday to Senator Perkins asking whether he could take a cargo of food supplies to St. Michaels for the relief of the miners in the Klon- dike section threatened with starvation, Secretary Alger received a response from the senator, saying that there are already many thousands of tons of freight unprotected at St. Michaels which cannot be moved up the Yukon river to Klondike on account of the for nation of ice in the river.
 Therefore it would be needless to send further supplies at present. Secretary Alger has communicated this informa- ton to the citizens committee of Ta- coma. Wash, whence the application for relief was made. He has added that there are already two army officers on their way to Circle City, for which place they started August to report the actual state of affairs and they will undoubtedly inform the war de- partment whether or not supplies are required and how they can be gotten into the country.

TRIAL OF NEW ExpLOSIYE.
Possesses Great Foroe-May be for Use Oi
 Cubans and Armenians.


 Lynn, Mass, Sept. 15.-Three Cubans, two Armenians and representative of a Boston export firm came to this city to-day and witnessed the trial of new explosive, the invention of Dr. E. H. Wing of this city. The experiments were made on the Revere marshes, and at the conclusion all the foreigners eX- pressed themselves as being very much pleased with the results. The new explosive is in two parts and is not available until mixed and fired under confinement. As the separate powders are harmless they can be read fly shipped without the restrictions at tending dynamite. To-day a soft steel shell was prepared and filled with the powder. A hole was dug and the shell placed in the bottom and covered with mud and logs.
 The firing was done with electricity, and the concussion blew a great hole in the mud, while many of the logs were hurled high in the air.

TROOPS STILL GUARD IIN ES.
But There Has Been No Further Out
 break in the Hazelton District.

 break in the HazeltOn District. Hazelton, Pa, Sept 15.-A calm per- vaded Hazelton and its environs to-day and no disturbances were reported. The strikers maintain silence and good order. An extra guard was placed about the company stores at Latimer to-day in consequence of current ru- mor that the foreigners were plotting to blow up the building with dynamite. They have ceased dealing there, and are now buying their provender in Ha- zelton. Some are going so far as to move into town, and several carloads of poor household goods were travelling toward the town over the Latimer road to-day. Large groups of the miners are constantly lowering about the stores
 Arrangements are under way for a monster mass meeting here on Satur- day night, and it is understood that ef- forts are being made to bring Eugene V. Debs and other prominent labor men here to address it. All the miners in the middle coal field will be asked to attend and it is estimated that 25,000 miners will be present.
 General Gobin had heard nothing of the proposed meeting, and said that he would treat with the emergency when it arose.
 Another story of the day was that | William J. Bryan had been secured as counsel for the prosecution of Sheriff Martin and the deputies It was scout ed by the strike leaders as too absurd l to merit consideration.
 The arrangements for the prosecution | by the Austrian societies, who have taken up the cause, have been brought i to a pause by General Gobin's order forbidding the arrests of the prospec- tive defendants. Several meetings were held, but it was finally determined to let the matter rest is abeyance until after Coroner Bowman has held his in quest and reached verdict. The strike conditions were not materially changed 1 to-day. None of the malcontents man. ifested any disposition to return to work and a few more joined their ranks These were from the Auden- reid washeries, about one hundred in number. So far as can be learned no plans are under consideration by the strikers looking to a resumption.

A Small Force of Men Cleaned Portions of
 Orange and Temple Streets Yesterday.
 A small force of men and two teams were put at work cleaning streets yes- terday afternoon. Temple street on the green was cleaned and the force then began on Orange street. The street. sweeper was at work last night for the first time in about two weeks. It was driven oyer Orange street, Trumbull street, Union street and portions of Chapel and State streets. Teams will to-day gather up the dirt swept to the curb by the sweeper, and it is probable that the work of street cleaning will now be continued, with a small force of men at first, but, if the resolution providing for the borrowing of $20,00O is signed by the mayor, as it probably will be, a larger force of men will be put to work as soon as the loan is ne- gotiated.

THE KING OF CYCLISTS.
Wonderful Record Established by
Little Jimmy Michael.
His Mile Made I'm ,36 Really Eclipses
Stocks lass 20 Performance
in Englnnd-wiII Make
Chicago His Home.

King of cyclists is little Jimmy
Michael. Most marvellous is his record.
Time itself was outstripped by the
miniature Welsh boy at Willow Grove
track, Philadelphia. Paced by a SEX
tet and a quad, the youngster reeled
off mile in 1886 and thereby reduced
all former worlds records for the dis
lance.
1t is true that a Londoner, l. W..
Stocks, negotiated mile at the Crystal
palace in 1875 2-5, but he was guided
over the route by an electric motor and,
of course, his feat cannot properly be
reckoned among genuine cycling per-
formances. Should it be, Michaels deed
stands alone in America at any rate.
Cyclists have been expecting another
notch to be clipped off the mile record
and the majority of them looked to
Michael to do it. Steadily the tiny for
eigner has been improving since he first
sprang into fame in Europe early last
year.
Now the question is, will Michael
prove himself a greater racer than he
is now? Is he good, rash though the
speculation may be. for 1880? Can he
do that on circular track, and if he
can, how fast can he travel on astraight-
away?
Chicago wheelmen have been talking
of little else than the Welshman's bril-
liant performances. Many of them are
bold enough to predict that he will re-
duce still more the record and approXi-
mate, if not reach, the 1870 mark.
Charlie Root, Fred Gerlach and jim
Levey are leaders in cycledom and their
opinions favored the idea that Michael
had by no means reached his limit.
For years it has been the chief aim
OF racing cyclers to attack the mile
record. There have been all sorts of
them, records for flying and standing
starts, paced and unpaced, forward and
backward, professional and amateur,
those of the old class A and class B men,
and so on. Now, the standard mile has
generally come to be looked upon as

The Baby in Autumn.

A warm flannel around the abdomen,
warm stockings on the feet, and a soft

of drugs for the baby, and the simple
application will as general thing set
the flesh to glowing rosily. But if the
circulation is poor and the extremities
remain cold, fill rubber bags or fruit

child with them until the proper tenn

Poison Ivy,

Just what it is that induces poison
ivy to play its injurious pranks on some
people at some times and not at others
is still profound mystery. One thing
is certain, that the number of people
susceptible to the poisoning influences
must be extremely scarce, from the
fact that in the vicinity of Philadelphia
the highways and byways are overrun
with the plant to an enormous extent.
1t is frequently impossible for people
to go by without brushing against it,
and, if it is in the vapor or some exuda-
ton from the plant which causes the
trouble, thousands of persons must be
under the influence to every one who
suffers from it.-Meehan's Monthly.
