REPORT OF CRUCIFlxIoN.
Story That 1t Was Found in the Vatican
Denied.

Denied.
New York, Nov. 8.-A disnatcb 70
the World from Rome says: The World
correspondent visited the vatican to oh.
tam authoritative information regard.
Ing the reported finding in the yat,can
archives of Pontius Pilates report to
Emperor Tiberius of the cruciixion of
CHRIST. One story current was that
the original report had been found
and that the pope had ordered a careful
study of it. Another was that the
document discovered was not Pilates
report, but a manuscript of A. D. l49,
referring to it, with other fragmentary
writings OF the third and fifth cen
turles, touching the same matter,
which have come to light before.
The correspondent found the vatican
authorities very reticent. Some of the
othclals were even chary of ADMITTING
that anything had been discovered At
all, and were extremely apprehensiye
lest they might be represented as giving
color to an expectation that contempor-
airy accounts of the most solemn event
in the worlds history are in existence.
The subkeeper of the vatican archives
said:
His holiness naturally is extremely
cautious about permitting the publica-
ton OF any document with the imprint
of the holy see the authenticity of
which may afterwards be reasonably
contested. His holiness has been pro-
foundly interested in the possibility of
the discovery of the original document
referred to, the n dated 149, but SO
far search has been fruitless."
The correspondent gathered that the
manuscript of A. d. 149 only refers
to the earlier report, and contains no
details of any value, and that a care
full, exhaustive search for the original
is now being made in the vatican by
experts specially commissioned by the
holy father, who are also to search for
reference to it in documents written
earlier than A. D. 149.
The first indication of the possibility
OF the existene of this document was OBJ
tanned accidentally by an erudite monk
engaged in looking through the archives
of the fifth century and gathering facts
concerning the early history of the pap
acy. He followed the clew back to
manuscripts of the third century and
then again laboriously pursued his task
until further allusion was found in the
document of A. d. 149. There the in
vestigation is brought to a standstill
for the present, and the pope has given
strict injunctions that no translation
or references in the documents shall be
published until submitted for his sane
ton.
The attitude of the vatican authori-
ties on the matter is one of skepticism
as to the likelihood OF any original au.
thentic information being unearthed.

dated at Calcutta, September IS.
Captain LaVarge charges that En-.

the famine supplies without enthusi-
asm. The pilot came aboard the CITY
OF Everett when she approached Cal.
cutta, and told the captain that he
would have done better to have brought
a cargo OF guns, with which to kill off
the native Indian population. Cap
tain LaNar-e says that the CITY ui E,-
erett was treated shameiully at CAL
cutta by the government, and that the
treatment was specially out of place,
owing to the presence OF the vessel rem
resenting the generosity and humanity
OF the American people. There was
nothing on which a claim for duty
could be exacted that was not enforced,
and the officials finding, after ransacE-
ing the papers for the ship, that the
officials at Singapore had exempted the
ship from light duties, promptly en-
forced them. The claim was made
that the governor at Singapore had no
authority to exempt the ship from pay
ing any duties. Before leaving CAL
cutta, the English officials even insisted
on the payment of duties for the ships
stores.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-The threatening
famine in the Yukon valley will be re-
lieved. DR.. Sheldon Jackson, en- route
from the Klondike to Washington, said
that the recent order Of Secretary Alger
to Colonel Randall, in command Of the
military reservation at st. Michaels.
directing him to use reindeer for haul
ing food to the miners will relieve
much suffering.
DR.. jackson has in the herd 200
head Of reindeer trained to harness.
He also has two Laps and several Esqui-
maux experts in driving deer. whom he
can TURF over to Colonel Randall. He
further states that the present ~exigency
emphasizes the urgent need Of procur-
ing trained reindeer in large numbers;
that the mines Of Alaska are so pecul.
iarly situated that they cannot be sup.
piled with a continuous adequate food
supply until reindeer transportation is
systematically organized on large scale.

tinctiOn.
San Francisco, Nov. 5.-The United
States fish commission steamer Alba
tross has arrived from Alaskan waters.
The report of Commander Moser will
say that the Alaska salmon will disap-
peal if there are not efforts made to
propagate the fish. This is recognized
by the packers and some of them are
maintaining private hatcheries to fill
the streams from which they draw
their supplies.
Last year the output of the Alaska
packers was 1000, 900 cases, OF As
pounds each, or AS, 600, 900 pounds of
canned salmon. This year there will
be a material falling off.
1t is understood that Commissioner
Brice will ask congress for enough
money to establish hatcheries and thus
keep alive the salmon in northern
waters.
Commander Moser reports that many
shad planted in these waters were
caught in the traps OF the Alaska can
neries this year.

TIGERS ON TOP.
Gan WICK viii Be the Next Mayor Of
New York.

New York.
New York, Nov. 4.-Tammanv's VIC
tory in the first municipal election in
Greater New York is a sweeping one.
Seth Low was successful to the extent
OF polling an aggregate vote in excess
Of the l4O, 900 pledged by the sigma
lures of the petition upon which he be-
came the candidate OF an independent
movement.
At the outset, they offered to join
hands with the Republican party organ
lzation in a concerted effort to exclude
Iammany from power in the greater
city to come into being January l, 1898,
with a population the second in magni-
tude of the great cities of the world.
The offer was declined, on the ground
that in such a movement the Repuh-
llcan organization would participate
only colncIuentaily with the other party
to the compact, and the citizens union,
on the other hand, refused to recall its
nomination of Mr.. Low.
On the city ticket with Judge Van
Wvck, Bird 5. Coler is elected con-
troller and Randolph G~uggenheim pres
ident of the municipal council.
The executive branch Of the city gov
eminent is Tammany-De Democratic. 1t
is a double.headed body, one branch be-
ing the municipal council, consisting OF
the president and 2S members; and the
other the board of aldermen, compris-
ing $50 members. The precise num-
Der of Democrats chosen cannot be
stated at the present writing.
There appears to be a strong proha-
bility that the Democrats have won a
majority OF the county and borough
offices along with the municipal places.
The vote of Van Wyck in New York
county is approximately the same as
was cast for Bryan in 1896, which was
l35,624. General Tracy, Republican,
polled approximately 55, 900, against
McKinley's vote of l56, $50 in New
York county; while Low, citizens
union, polled approximately 1900,
and George, jefferson Democrat, 49,
900.
In Kings county, which includes the
city of Brooklyn, the Bryan vote was
IS, $50, while Van Wyck's will be al
most the same; against McKinley's
vote of 100, 1876, General Tracy polls
approximately IS, 900, while Lows vote
is approximately 65, 900.
In these two counties the straight
Republican vote shows a falling off Of
nearly l75, 900, or in excess of the
total vote for Low, while the Tammany
vote equals, if it does not slightly ex-
coed. that cast for Bryan.
The polling came within about 50,-
600 of the entire registration, which,
considering the weather conditions I'M
der which the election proceeded, was
all that could be expected.
Whatever might have been the result
had Henry George survived the cam
paign, the election, from the earliest
returns, showed hat the substitution
of the son for the father as the mayor
atty candidate of the Thomas Jefferson
Democracy had proved a failure from
any but the sentimental point of view.
In fact the George candidacy had made
but a beggarly showing, scarcely 8 per
cent of the vote in New York, counted
up to s O'Clock, having been cast for the
son Of the author OF Progress and
Poverty"

merce Building, Portland, oregon.l
Facts established sooner or later con-
troll wheat values. Speculation may
temporarily advance or depress values,
hut in the end the laws of supply and
demand are sure to assert themselves
and control values. 1t has been a self
evident proposition for several weeks
past that conditions warranted higher
values. Speculative influences have
repeatedly driven prices downward. bus
the market has rebounded with the
b%uoyancy of a cork upon the water.
The news announcements of the week
have been uniformly favorable to high
er values Crop advlces at home indi-
cate less than an average acreage seeded
to winter wheat, owing to the pro-
tracted drought, which has beer broken
only in certain sections of the winter
wheat belt. Receipts at primary points
are falling off and promise from this Oh
to prove smaller than last year. Ex-
port clearances continue large, $780,
900 bushels for the week, which is
largely in excess of III e~xportable sur
plus weekly. The export demand shows
no signs OF diminution. On the con-
trary, it is urgent and increasing, the
last few days OF the week having re-
suited in very large sales for export.
Foreign advices continue extremely
bullish. The reports of our own con-
suls in Europe more than confirm the
r1Na xipnnr, estimates of Enrnnaan i'm
port requirements. Advices from Lon
don assert hat Mediterranean ports are
%outbiddins England for Russian wheat.
The French chamber of deputies has
been %petitioned to reduce the import
duty on wheat, and some action in this
direction will probably be taken sooner
or later, although not necessarily at
present, Russian advices, although al
ways unreliable and largely mythical,
are extremely bullish and must neces-
sarily have some foundation on fact.
The Argentine crop is still an unknown
quantity. Reports are conflicting.
Drought conditions have prevailed.
Locusts have caused some damage, and
in the absence of reliable reports it can
not be assumed hat the crop will be q
large one in yield. Local speculative
conditions are extremely favorable for
higher values. Stocks ON contract grain
are very small, practically exhausted,
and there is no immediate prospect Of
their being replenished. We can dis
cover nothing in the situation at home
or abroad warranting any declines in
values, and would regard any decline as
but temporary, unwarranted, and
therefore a good speculative opportun-
ity to buy wheat, the final outcome Of
which we anticipate to be much higher
prices.

Uncertain in Ohio and Marv,and,

Cincinnati, Nov. 4.-Elections oc.
Cured Yesterday in 10 states, and in
only two of them is the result in doubt.
In Ohio, both sides claim the victory,
though the Republicans have probably
elected the state officers, including
Governor Bushnell. There is also
reason to believe that they will have a
majority of two or three in the legisla-
ture, which will mean the return of
Mark Hanna to the United States sem
ate. The Maryland returns are still
incomplete, but such figures as are at
hand indicate that United States Sena-
tor German will succeed himself. IL
Massachusetts, WOlcott is elected gov
ernor by about 100000 plurality, even
Democratic Boston showing up well in
his favor. Pennsylvania will have a
prohibitionist, S. G. Swallow, for treas
urer, and a Republican, l.. G. McCau-
ley, for auditor-general. The only
state office contested for in Kentucky,
clerk Of the court Of appeals, goes to S.
j. Shackleford, a Democrat. Iowa
elects L. NJ. Shaw, Republican, gov
ernor, by about $1,000. In Nebraska,
the fusion ticket was successful by from
10, 600 to 20, 900.

JOE PATCHEN's GREAT RACE.
The Kansas Horse Defeats Star
Pointer-Time 2:O1 1-2.

Columbus, Aug. There were four
starters in the free-for-an pace yester-
day, Joe Patchen, Star Pointer, Lottie
Lorraine and Badge, and Star Pointer
sold in the pools at 100 to against the
field. 1t was the judgment of nearly
every horseman that Pointer would win
in a walk and few were willing to buy
the field, even at the odds offered.
Joe Patchen not only won the race
on its merits, but paced the fastest mile
ever made in the grand circuit, equal
ling the worlds record of 2:011a, made
by John r. Gentry at Glens Falls.
In the first heat, the four horses were
started without a skip. Joe Patchen
having the pole and Pointer being on
the outside. McClary did not push
Pointer in the first half, but moved up
in the third quarter and came down the
stretch with Patchen. 1t was a driving
finish, but Patchen came under the
wire a neck ahead, the time being 2:04.
In the second heat, the four horses
were started abreast, but Patchen and
Pointer went ahead and moved all the
way around the track like a team. 1t
was evident from the start that the
first heat would be a fast one, and the
made intensified the interest. Patchen
and Pointer came down the stretch
neck and neck, and as Patchen poked
his nose under the wire a few inches
ahead of Pointer a great shout went up
from the 10000 people that filed the
grand stand The time by quarters was:
3014, 1:0012, 1:31, 2:0119.
Pointer broke badly at the start in
the third heat and trained far behind,
while Patchen and Lorraine went all
the way around with the latter hanging
onto Patchen's sulky. Pointer made a
in 200 fiat. The time for the heat was
2:0S.
