We are told that people are scour-
ing the country for stock-cattle,
sheep, etc. Fat cattle are in great
demand, and any kind is salable.
This news comes SO suddenly that it
almost takes our breath. We heard
nothing like it last year, the year be-
fore nor indeed during the Cleveland
administration. There was no scour-
ing OF the country then on the part of
buyers. The old farmer instead Of
having buyers call on him had to go
and hunt them, and they were not
easily found. But change has come,
and it was here very soon after the
passage of the Dingley bill.-Fair-
mont West Virginian.

The present movement of wheat,
hundreds OF ship loads going abroad

we had vessels to carry all of that
wheat across the ocean. What a

gress will fail to do its duty unless it
speedily takes favorable action on the
bill and thus put in motion the ma
chinery which will provide American

to carry American products to every
land under the sun. It can be done,
should be done and that right early.

NEW MARX FOR WHEAT.
It Was Made Yesterday Morning, but it
 Fell Off Toward the Close

New York, Aug. 19.-Wheat gained 11s cents in price at one time to-day, estab- fishing another record figure for the year. Conservative traders, however, feel that news from Europe did not warrant such sensational jumps as the market experienced to-day and with held their support. The result was an irregular list of values all day, cover ing a wide range of prices. By putting forth all their efforts the bulls ran September up to 95% cents, or one and highest point and one and one-half cents higher than last nights close. They were aided by extreme nervous ness among the shorts and crop news from the northwest. Prominent au- thorities are now estimating the spring wheat crop in Minnesota and the Da- kotas as low as 125,0O0,00O bushels. A few weeks ago O0,OOOOoO bushels were considered a conservative estimate.
 The quotation for No. i northern f. 0. b. afloat in this market at one time to- day, on the nominal basis of six cents over September, was $1.01% and for No. 2 red 99& cents to $1 f. o. b. afloat.
 In the afternoon prices gave way sud- denly, losing 1% cents on September and 2A cents on December from the highest point under heavy and excited selling by scalpers, foreign houses and others The close was very nervous on the basis of 94 cents for September and 92% for December. Still later on the curb September rallied to 94s cents. One of the days features was the abundance of foreign selling orders rep- resenting profit taking on recent pur- chases. new short account sales, etc. Late private cables asked for offers, but the actual export transactions were disappointingly small-about 1O0,- 900 bushels.
 Total future sales for the session were 8605, 900 bushels.

passed, making it obligatory upon part or members to present papers relating to the patrol business at all meetings In the future. An extended inter change of ideas was had on the protec- ton of boot and shoe stocks, ruppers and all such stock that are of paste construction, from which the members derived considerable benefit,
 The skidding of merchandise from cellar floors came in for a great deal or debate in which the usefulness of such methods were fully shown.
 Other very valuable points were fully discussed throughout the meeting, Superintendents Hall, Pelleton and stillman were appointed a committee to draw up resolutions to present to the board, by which valuable changes might be made In construction Of shelves and storage of merchandise, The last order of business was the cleo ton of officers By a unanimous vote President Williamson and Secretary and Treasurer Pelleton were selected Tor the ensuing year.

CROOUET AT NEW LONDON. Duryee Leads in the First Division and
 Ed1nunds in the Second.

Norwich, Conn.,, Aug. 19.-There were some good contests in the national cro- quet tournament to-day, and the att tendance was large. In the first diyis- ion, Duryee, of Washington, is the fa- vorfte for first place although he suf- fered defeat for the first time to-day at the hands of his fellow rownsman, Wal ly. In the second division the fact that Grint, Edn1unds and Dudley have left town leaves the result in doubt, it not having yet been decided whether a player shall default his game by leav- ing before the close of the tournament.
 The series of games for the Van Wickle medal between E. c. Butler, challenger and G. c. Strong, holder, has thus far resulted in two games won for Butler and one for strong. The standing of the players tonight is as follows:

MAILS TO THE KLONDIKE.
Canada and United States Have Practically
 Agreed Unon the Plan.

1 | Washington, Aug. 19.-The Canadian government and the United States have practically agreed upon cooperation in augmenting the postal facilities for the Klondike. region, and the result will shortly be sevidenced in a substantial doubling of the mail service from the l coast into that district The reply of Canada to Acting Postmaster General Shallenberger' proposition to establish an exchange of mails at Circle City and Dawson City reached here to-day. | It Is a counter-proposition made by Canada, the latter agreeing to perform the service from Dawson City down to Dyea by means of contract of her own, with reimbursement to be made by this government for it's share of the service. This differs from this coun- try's proposition in that under the lat 1 ter the United States was to let the contract, and look to Canada for reim- bursement for the latter's share. The counter scheme, however, is satisfac- tory to the postoffice department here and 1t will shortly be formally accept ed and the new schedule put into effect by Canada.
 | Canada's proposition for carrying the mails one round trip a month between Dawson City and Dyea was formally accepted this afternoon by Acting Postmaster General Shallenberger. Tn a communication sent to the Canadian government he says this government Is ready to assume it's share of the re- sponsibility.
 The service will bring about the crea- tion of postoffice at Dawson City, at Fort Cuddy and probably at other points. The service will be under the immediate supervision of Canadian mounted police.

Nearly 1000 people are in camp at Skagway and it is expected that they will reach the lake within ten days.
 The opening of the Skagway is sure to cause travel to continue as late as September 15

PROF. N0RT0N'S PLAIN TALK
CHI HURCH-GOERS PARTICIPITORS IN
 MURDER OF MRS. MCLOUD.

We Need Revival of Puritanism With the Sermon Left Out-Lawlessness of the | Rising Generation-Dutyo of Our Villages and Country Towns to Correct and Re- strain Vicious Members.
 | Ashfield, Mass, Aug. 19.-The nine teenth annual dinner in honor of San derson academy was held here to-day. Prof. Eliot Norton of Harvard presid- ed, and the other speakers were: Frank lin MacVeagh of Chicago, President Mendenhall of the Worcester Polytech- mic institute; Rev. John W. Chadwick of Chesterfield and Brookline; Rev. Dr. Rondtaler of Chicago, Prof. Thomas of the Lake Forest university, and Rev. MT. Forest of Troy, N. Y.
 Although a Unitarian, Professor Nor ton holds that we need a revival or Puritanism with the theological sermon left out. The murder of Mrs. Hattie 10. McCloud at Shelburne Falls last Janu- ary was shown to be the legitimate fruit of a weak spinal column in re- pressing rowdyism and worse
 He said in part: From all sides we hear the complaint of the spirit of lawlessness in the rising generation. And there can be no doubt that the greater independence now allowed to the youth of both sexes than was the case in the past is often abused, and tends in many cases to degenerate into wilful self assertion, indifference to the rights and interests of others and resistance to authority of whatever na- ture.
 ''The spirit of lawlessness develops rapidly into the spirit of crime. The idle loafer becomes the rough, the rough the villain, the villain the ruf11an The recent horrible crime and appaiI- | ing tragedy of Shelburne Falls is an object lesson to this community which surely should not fail to arouse us to the discharge of neglected duty. It is a calamity for which the community is responsible.
 | ''O'Neil is not the only criminal; the church going and well-to-do citizen ot Shelburne Falls are participants in his y crime"
 In closing he said: Tt is manifest that it is the duty of all our country villages and towns to take more effec- tive measures for the restraint and cor rection of the reckless and vicious members of the community and any means which promises this end may be worth trying"

OUR PENSION LIST.
There Were 4O,16O Applicants for Aid
 During the Month of July.


 Washington, Aug. 19.-Commissioner of Pensions Evans has had a statement prepared of the number of applications for pensions filed since July l, 1896. The comparison shows that in July, 1S96 applications for pensions aggregated 2.s93; while in June, 1897, there were 4O.169. largely for increases and for widows and minor children. The table shows the number of applications un- der the general law and under the act of June 27, 1890, respectively as follows 1896, July, 1860 and 1,03S; August, 3,322 and 2,057; September, 2,562 and 1,731; October, 2,179 and 1,0S6; November, 2,701 and 1915; December, 3,575 and 2318; 1897, January, 5,2OO and 3,s5O; March, 4,1S7 and 4,117; April, 4,177 and 5,255; May, S,753 and 1,2039; June, 1S,16S and 22, ,001.
 Commissioner Evans to-day attrib- uted this large increase of claims to two reasons. He said the hard times had made many men apply for pen sions who had not previously needed them and the other reason, he said, is the existence of a general feeling throughout the country that the claims of pensioners would be given more fa- vorable consideration by the present administration than by the last
 Many soldiers" he said, felt that the democratic administration would not allow their pensions, however just they might be and in this way thou sands of applications were held back until now. We are simply getting the accumulation of long period and the work of receiving the applications and filing them away keeps many clerks busy. I believe the high water mark of pensions has been reached"

ANorH BR REPLY TO JAPAN.
Secretary sherman Reiterates What He
 Has Said Before Concerning Hawaii.


 Has Said Before Concerning Hawaii.
 Washington, Aug. 19.-Secretary sherman has submitted to the Japanese government an answer to Japans last note relating to the annexation of Ha- waii to the United States. The answer was delivered to MT. Hoshi the Japan ese minister, last Saturday. It is a reply to Japan's note of July 10, which up to that time had not been acknowl- edged
 MT. Sherman's answer was marked by it's friendly expressions toward Japan, which gives especial satisfac- tion in view of the somewhat strained relations resulting from the previous correspondence. Two features were brought out by the answer:
 It reiterates the position heretofore taken by the secretary of state as to the right and propriety of annexing Hawaii to the United States With this, however, is coupled an assurance that the interests of Japan in Hawaii will be fully safeguarded. It also eX- presses satisfaction at the plan of ar- bitration between Japan and Hawaii, on the question of Japanese immigra- tion to Hawaii.
 The answer Is largely an elaboration of MT. Sherman's former letter, and the policies expressed In no way differ from those previously laid down by him.
 Minister Hoshi has cabled the sub- stance of the answer to the Tokio gov ernment and the full text of the answer has been forwarded. It will not reach Japan until September ', and no action may be taken until the text is before the Japanese foreign office. The Japan csc legation is reticent over the dis patch, although there is no effort to conceal the satisfaction felt over the friendly spirit displayed throughout MT. Sherman's answer. The attention of the Tokio government has been partic- ularly directed toward these express sions of good will.

PEPPER AGAINST FUSION.
But Hopes for an Alliance of All Parties on Free Silver and Against High Tariff.

Des Moines, Ia., Aug. 19.-At the pop- ulist convention here to-day Senator Peffer addressed the convention on the subject of fusion and maintaining a separate party organization. He said in the course of his speech:
 T take the ground that there ought to be, and eventually will be a reunion of all voters who are opposed to the gold standard and high tariff regime. but the most practical way of bringing about such a union is through a ma tional conference composed of accred- ited persons from all opposing elements and in that way agreeing upon one platform and new party name. I am willing to abide by the conclusions of such conference, but am opposed to a permanent alliance or union with any other party under that party's nauie."
