Crops in the MIDDLE West.

OHAMA, Aug. 24.-The wheat crop of
Nebraska has been threshed. The
quality is excellent and the yield is un-
precedented, aggreeating $4,000, 900
bushels. 1t is generally estimated that
the yield of corn will be $50, 200, 900
bushels, or so bushels to the acre.

places the wheat yield at 2O,OOO.OOO
bushels. The average Is 10 bushels to
the acre. In corn the yield will be 200,-
OO0, 900, an average of 40 bushels to the
acre. There is an abundance of oats,

OVERLAND TO THE KLONDIKE
Squad of Canadian Police to Attempt
the Journey.


OTTAWA, Aug. 24.-The minister of
the interior has left for a brief holiday
on the Atlantic coast, but before his de-
parture he reached a most important de-
cision. 1t was to the effect that small
detachment of mounted police should at
once proceed from Edmonton, Alberta,
and endeavor to reach the Klondike
country from the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains.
Edmonton is the most northenly rail-
road point in the Canadian Northwest
territory, being 100 miles north of Cal
gary. The route to be followed is by
way of the Nelson and Laird rivers to
Dease, and up this river to the Pelly.
They will follow the Pelly river to its
junction with the Lees and the Lees to
the Klondike. total of 1870 miles.
This is not the Mackenzie river route.
AS the police are to take horses with
them, it is obvious that the authorities
consider this route practicable, or at any
rate, is worth examining.

Spain VIII Preserve Cordial Relations

LONDON, Aug. PA dispatch to the
Standard from San Sebastian says;
General Azcarraga, the new premier,
desires to continue the policy of his pre-
decessor, Senior Canovas del Castillo, as
far as possible, and does not apprehend
any complications. He Is confident
that the United States will preserve it's
present attitude of cordial friendship
and will not insist upon mediation.
Spain would not refuse to submit to a
commission the settlement of claims of
American citizens IN Cuba if on the un-
derstanding that only the damage suf-
fered at the hands of her forces were to
be the subject of examination and re-
serving all her counter claims arising
from filibustering.
Should Minister Wooford be instructed
to demand autonomy Spain would reply
that autonomy would have been granted
long ago had the Cubaus ceased to re-
ceive from the United States the moral
and financial support to enable her to
prolong the struggle and had she ceased
to demand absolute independence.

THE MARKET EXCITED
Wheat's Sudden Rise a Sur
prise in European Cities.
OPINIONS OF LEADING DEALERS
Present Prices Likely to Continue In
definitely, and Further Rises Con-
sidered Not improbable.

New YoRK, Aug. PA World dis
patch from London says:
Great excitement exists on the Lon
don, Liverpool and Glasgow corn ex-
changes over the sensational advance in
wheat. A World representative spent
some time on the London exchange and
spoke with leading authorities in the
trade on wheat prospects. Oscar Erich,
manager of the great house of Ralli
Bros, eaid:
"This big and sudden rise has taken
rs completely by surprise. l don't con-
slider it is justified by circumstances.
At the same time, our market is firmer
than eyer, and the price will hold for
some time, apparently. It ie due, in my
opinion, to various causes, one being
the big bear account which was opened
in New York. Operators got frightened
and closed it to cover themselves. I
would not venture to give definite
opinion on the prospects of prices, the
rise being, in my views. so purely specu-
latiYe and surprising"
Mr.. Wood, of the leading firm of w.
P. Wood & Co., of the Corn Exchange,
said:
''The outlook depends, in my opinion,
on the financial situation on the other
side. If there is no money trouble in
the United otates, 1 believe wheat will
go up another 20 cents. They are i'm
porting this year from America to the
Cuban provinces, where they have never
imported it before. We and the whole
Europe are in the hands of America. 1t
is the only country we have now to look
for our wheat. Millers here are buying
from hand to mouth, holding back for a
drop in prices, which 1 do not believe
will come. A poor crop in Europe gen.
orally is the cause of the rise-a per-
fectly sound cause. If some of your
millionaires go into wheat, having made
a good deal out of railways, from which
they are now Withdrawing, the boom
will last.''

most respected firms in the London
trade, said:

A Lover of Nature,

Hamilton Wright Mabie furnishes in
The Century = charming sketch of John
Burroughs, the lover of nature. It is
pleasant to know that we have in Amer
lea one man still who loves nature and
studies her creations rather than the
artificial doings of police courts, fac
tories and fashion. We have not had
such a man since Thoreau's time, and
John Burroughs is more human and
friendly than Thoreau. John Burroughs
is not SO shy and solitary. When he Wis
its cities, girls and boys crowd about
him and hang enchanted on his utter
ances. They never did that with Tho.
reau. Mabie says of Burroughs, "He
has no great love of cities, but he does
not lose his poise and fall to cursing
when he thinks of London or Boston or
New York"
Burroughs youth prepared him, all
unknowing, for the life of the natural
list. He says of himself:
As a farm boy ! had known all the common
birds well and had loved the woods passion
ately, but my attention was not seriously
turned to natural history till l was a man
grown. But no one starts in the study of nat
ural history with such advantages as he whose
youth was passed on the farm. He has already
got a great deal Of it in his blood and bones.
He has grown up in right relations with man
and beast. The study comes easy and natural
to him. The main things are a love Of nature

He is the kind of man who can 60
into the woods and sit silent and
happy for hours, watching the wild
creatures, the dancing leaves and the
swaying shadows. He does this, too,
not as an anatomist studies q skeleton,
merely to find out what it is and done
with it, but simply from love Of nature
and her wild children. So he sits and
waits and watches. taking in each part
and fixing its relations to the whole
with a loving eye illuminated by wis
dom. ITO see the life of the woods go
on about you,' he says, lit is only nee
essary to keep still" A great lesson
this-to keep still. Here is no ruthless
sayage who plunges into the haunts of
birds and woods creatures with dog and
gun. He enters their country only 20

creatures know this instinctively and
do not fee from him.
It is much that America has such a
naturalist and such a nan One John
Burroughs, with his wholesome. manly,
gentle spirit breathing and shining
through his literary work, is worth all
the multimillionaires who push and
hustle and strive to lick the boots OF
corrupt European nobility. So long as
this country can produce still o John
Burroughs there is hope for us.
