The Word "AIe.v

What could be more English than the word ale? It carries us back to the banquets of our dead ancestors in Wal halla, and some of its compounds open up vistas into that old England which is fast disappearing. becoming a tale that is told, obsolete itself. Such are ale-bush. a tavern sign: ale-conner, "an officer appointed in every court leet, and sworn to look to the assize and goodness of bread, ale and beer. ," Ale-cost, the name of kind of tansy used to flavor the rustic's home-brew- ed, has good old English look; yet 1t bears witness to the mongrel nature of the speech of this mongrel nation cost being from the Greek kostos, savory herb of species unidentified.

A Statement Challenged.

The largest and best paper ever printed regularly in Pine Bluff is the Weekly (comes out Sunday mornings) Commercial. This paper is not only the largest Weekly in the State, but has four times the cir culation of any Pine Bluff paper which is dated Sunday morning - Saturdays Commercial.
 We would not notice this and other bombastic statements of the Commercial were it not for the fact that our silence might be construed as an admission of its false state ments about it's circulation and that of other Pine Bluff papers.
 The so-called Sunday morning Commercial Gssued every Saturday evening at six o'clock and distrib- uted on Sunday morning), is it's weekly edition, and, of course, its weekly circulation should be greater and is than it's daily edition, and should also be greater than the daily edition of the Daily Sunday morning Graphic.
 But let us see as to the facts.
 The Sunday morning Graphic is it's daily edition. It is not our weekly. Our weekly, or rather seml- weekly. is issued every Wednesday and Saturday morning, and there fore reaches It's readers with the news earlier and more often than any of it's competitors. Weekly should be measured against weekly, but the Graphic is prepared to show that it's daily circulation every week (ncluding six issues) sgreater than the six daily editions and the one weekly edition of the Commercial combined.
 Now as to the facts.
 The total number of copies of the Commercial printed daily is 13 quires, or 3l2 papers. The total number of copies printed of the so.called Sunday morning (weekly) Commercial is % quires, or e96 pa pers. The aggregate number of Commercials printed every week in cluding it's six daily editions and its one weekly edition is, therefore, 2,568 copies. Mark you, this num- Der also includes the exchanges and the copies sent to foreign adver- tisers. There is also duplicate circulation on part of the Sunday morning Commercial, for it's weekly edition is sent gratuitously to sub scribers in this city for it's daily edition, but since the weekly is simply rehash of the daily during the week, it is not read by the sub scribers for the daily, and is there fore practically worthless as an ad- vertising medium so far as this part of it's circulation is concerned, and is practiced simply for the purpose of keeping up appearances. This du- plicdte circulation is not legitimate cirtulation, and possesses no value toladvertisers.
 The Daily Graphic Exclusive of it's Sunday edition) at present prints daily 20 quires or 4s0 pa pers. Up until October l, when nearly 100 names were dropped for non -papment of subscription, the Graphic printed 23 or 24 quires daily. The Sunday morning Graphic (daily edition) at present prints "A quires, or 576 papers. Up to Octo- Der l it printed 28 quires or 672 pa pers, at which time, as we have pre- viously atated, number of sub scribers were cut of for the non-pay- mont of subscription.

Spain Wants United States to DC.

VIENNA, June 14-The "Neueu
Freie Presse'' says that Spain has re-
quested the Powers to urge the United
States to occupy Manila, if the town
should surrender, and not allow the in
surgentS to do so.
BERLIN, June 14.-Advices received
from Shanghai by the Frankfort "Zei-

there from Manila to the effect that
there is fighting every night around the
town. The insurgents, it seems, are
trying to capture Manila and establish
an independent government before the
Americans land. The German Consul
al Manila, it is further reported, has
800 Germans and Swiss on board a
refugee steamer in the harbor.
MADRID, June 14-The Spanish
press has increased it's optimism, based
on the belief that Germany intends to
prevent a bombardment of Manila by
making a naval demonstration. The
newspapers urge sacrifices with the
view of securing Germany's assistance
and political leaders express themselves
in favor of offering Germany the con-
cessions in return for her taking the
initiative in forcing America
Firstly, naval stations and coaling
and depots in Spanish Oceanica.
Secondly, Spanish concurrence in the

LETTER GRAIN DEAL.
The Load of Cash Wheat Trans
ferred to Armour & Co.

CHICAGO, June 14.-Arrangements
We're completed to-day whereby theload
Of cash wheat which brought the Letter
grain deal to a sudden termination yes
terday is practically transferred to Ar
mour & Co. The plan was formed to
banks which have loaned money to
Letter. Jr., on his grain.
Armour & Co. are to take the deal
UP where Letter dropped it, and, by
acting as agents for the pool of banks,
carry out Letters plans for merchan-
dising his grain. Armour does not as
sumo the ownership of the grain in any
sense. but will simply place the ma
chinery of his business at the disposal
Of the banks interested, and it is be-
lieved all claims will be liquidated, after
which an equity will be established be-
tween Letter and Armour
Letters cash holdings are now stated
to have been only a trifle over 5000
600 bushels. Armour has named Alex.
Geddes e. Co. to take charge Of all
sales to England, and of wheat afloat
for that country, Through his own
agents and the French house Of Stick
ney Co. continental shipments will
be handled. Foreigners bid freely for
wheat to-day, and Mr.. Armour eX-
pressed the belief that a good market
would be found for all the grain placed
in his hands.
Letters holdings in July and Septem-
Der futures, however, it is understood,
| have been HQuidated. This line
amounted to considerably over 10000
600 bushels, and was thrown upon the
market yesterday and to-day.
Announcement Of the plan for the
liquidation of the cash holdings
through Armour caused firmer feel
ing on the Board Of Trade. Plenty of
selling was done by Letter brokers,
but the market showed an improved
tone over yesterday, that the line was
cleared up advantageously.
No reliable estimates can be placed
upon Joseph Letters losses. 1t is gen
orally thought, however that they will
exceed a million dollars.
An attachment for S193 600 procured
in New York by Lohrke e. Co., grain
exporters, against Joseph Letter, was
| served to-day, but was released by
Lohrke when the arrangement with
Armour & Co. was completed.

action, and Messrs. Sulzer Of New York,
Cochran of Missouri, and De Vries of
California led in opposition.
Prior to the caucus there was a like
ihood of several Democrats favoring
annexation declining to go into the eau
Gus, fearing lest they might be placed
in situation that would require their
votes to be cast in accord with the eau
Gus action, and contrary to their con-
victions. All finally entered the eau
Gus. however, upon the distinct under
standing that the action to be taken
would be advisory rather than manda-
tory, and that no Democrat should be
bound by the resolutions.
The resolutions were adopted by a
vote Of 81 to II. AS to the effect Of
caucus action, the Democratic advo-
Gates of annexation expressed the opin-
ion that some votes would be lost.
Prior to the caucus it was claimed that
twenty-three would vote for annexa-
ton, but now it is believed fourteen
will more nearly represent the Demo-
cratic vote in support of the resolu-
tiOns.

FRENCH CABINET CRISIS
The Me1ine Ministry Defeated in
the Chamber Of Deputies.

PARIS, June 14.-The Chamber of
Deputies to-day, by 295 to 273, passed
a vote Of confidence in the Govern
ment.
The Meline Ministry later was de-
feated in the Chamber by 296 to 246
votes, amid intense excitement and an
uproar.
The house was crowded, as were the
public galleries. The Premier, M. Me-
line, opened the proceeding by vehe-
mently repudiating the statement that
he was engaged in an anti-democratic
policy, but he declared that the acces-
sion of socialists to power would mean
ruin for France.
Ex-Minister Bourgeoise followed,
taunting M. Meline with being unwill
ing to cut himself free from the Right
lists, and several extreme Leftists con-
tinued their severe structures Of the
Premier's "undemocratic policy"
M. Ribot then delivered warm eu-
logy of the Premier, and proposed a
vote Of confidence in the Government,
but it's terms elected loud protests from
the Rightists.
M. Meline, however, accepted the
terms Of the motion, whereupon M.
Cassaignac charged him with throw
ing over the Rightists.
The Premier retorted that he had
never asked for the support Of the
Rightists.
The first part of NJ. Ribot's motion,
1.-THE Chamber approving the declara-
tions of the Government" was then
adopted by a vote of 2S9 to 2I2, and
the second part, rs determined to put
in force the policy Of democratic re-
form. based on the union Of Republi-
cans" was adopted by 525 to votes.
Thus far matters went comparative
ly smoothly.
Then M. Henri Ricard moved to add
the words. "and supported by a ma
jority exclusively Republican"
NJ. Meline refused to accept this ad
dition
NJ. Ricard insisted upon a vote, and
the addition was carried by 296 to 246,
whereupon there was terrible uproar.
The members on the extreme left
arose en- masse and shouted for the re-
tirement of M. Meline.
NJ. Berteaux yelled: Get out, you
are defeated"
Others, pointing to the Ministerial
bench, indulged in chorus of "Boohs!"
The Socialists vociferated: Resign,
resign!"
When a lull occurred another vote
was taken on the entire motion, which
NJ. Meline accepted, swallowing the OBJ
noxious addition, and the motion was
adopted by 2S4 to 272 votes.
The Chamber of Deputies then ad-
journed until Monday.
In the lobbies Of the Chamber the
opinion was freely expressed that NJ.
Meline would resign after the council
tomorrow, though nothing is certain,
owing to the contradictory character
of the votes.
