JOURNEY ON CRANE BACK.

How ever the little birds contrive to get across such vast expanses of the sea in their annual migrations is puzzling question. That they do it is unquestionable; it is admitted by the most competent observers that they sometimes get over stretches of billowy brine that for a thousand miles afford no perch for their weary little claws to clutch on. That such an extended fight Is too much for them is not only evident in itself, but is proved by the fact that these too venturesome songsters some- times alight on the rigging of ships in such state of exhaustion that, when disturbed they are unable to fly the length of the vessel and oc- casionally even fall helpless upon the deck.
 An English traveller, who was con- siderably interested in the birds, hap pened to be passing the autum in the island of Crete, in the Mediterranean; and he often noticed sound like the twittering of small birds at times when the sandcranes were passing overhead on their way southward. As the only fowl in sight were the cranes, this aroused his curiosity, and he mentioned the matter to friend who was a native of the island, suggesting that possibly the noise was caused by the whirring of the feathers of these great birds His friend, however, said no; the noise, he declared, was made bv song birds that were riding on the backs of the cranes, and he further as- serted that the saucy little fellow had come all the way from the coast of Europe with their good natured com panions, who lent, if not a helping hand, helping back, which was much more serviceable, as often as neened.
 few days later the Englishman got pretty conclusive proof of the truth of these statements. He was crossing about in a boat about fifteen miles from shore, when another flock of cranes passed overhead, and he heard the same twittering notes. He, therefore, discharged his gun to see what would come of it; and forwith he saw three small birds rise up from the flock in fright. After a short time they dis appeared among the cranes.
 The next year he was visiting Cairo. in Egypt, and observed a great number of wagtails in the palm gardens there After watching them for some time, as they hopped about and tilted in the fashion that has given them their name, he asked an old Bedouin chief who stood near how he imagined they got there, as they always. spend the sun-

from group of bitumlnous coal roads, including Norfolk and Western pre- ferred, Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville preferred, Baltimore and Ohio and Wheeling and Lake Erie pre- ferred. The movement in these stocks served to make rather conspicuous the quietude of other soft coal stocks which have been assigned an important place in the pending plan for amalgamation of the soft coal interests. The activity and strength in Sugar was also a domi- hating influence in the market, accom- panied though it was by all sorts of sensational rumors and very obviously manipulated to squeeze the shorts. Peace rumorS were renewed in the late dealings and the announcement of the successful landing of the United States forces in Porto Rico also added to the buoyant tendency of the trading, But the most potent element in the situa- tion was the growing certainty that an abundance of money would continue at the command of the business of the country. Sterling exchange fell IA cent additional in the actual rates and 1-2 cent in the posted rates. Demand sterling at ASA 3-4 is within 1-2 cent of the level at which recent gold importa- tions have been made. It is evident, also, that the decline of cash from the banks to the treasury, which was so conspicuous last week on account of the loan has ceased for the time being. The banks are gaining from the sub treasury on account of war expenses. The treasury has received about $1QS,- 000, ,000 from the bond issue, which in- cludes the subscriptions for $500 or less, without affecting the money market. The payment of the rest of the sub scriptions in instalments will be offset by the disbursements on war account, thus assuring the money market against future disturbance. Call money fell to per cent. to-day.
 The pressure of idle money was very evident in the bond market, seeking all
 issues except the class of gilt-edged bonds which have risen to practically prohibitive prices. Total sales, $4,905,- 900. United States old fours regular advanced IA, and the new threes (when
 issued) declined 1-s in the bid price. | NEW FORK STOCK MARKEr

The Stock Market.

New York, July 26.--A confederation of causes was responsible for the awak- ening of the stock market to-day from the lethargy that has held it for near ly two months. The bears had their innings early in the day, assisted by lower range of prices for AmericaEs from London, subsistence of the peace talk from foreign bourses, and the de- crease of $2O,000 in St. Paul's earnings for the third week in July and of $92,- 300 for the three weeks of the month. Against St. Paurs decrease was set the annual report of the Chicago and Northwestern, showing that the unpre- cedented earnings for the year had been literally expended for improve ments with a resulting large increase in the average train load. Northwest and it's subsidiary roads, Omaha, led the advance on the strength of this showing, and from them the movement broadened and strengthened all through the railroad list The rains in the west, which drove down the price of wheat and corn, also served to buoy up the grain carrying roads both north and south. Strength was also Gadiated

BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Sept. 6.-Consider-
able interest is centered in the investigation
now going on over the death of Charles
Evans which occurred last Saturday night.
Mrs. Evans has been closely questioned by
the prosecutor periodically. as to the rela-
lions existing between her and her dead
husband. This afternoon, during one OF
their conversations. Mrs. Evans said she
was sure her husband had taken poison, as
he had been Respondent for some time and
had repeatedly threatened to take his life.
An attempt is being made to prove that
Mrs. Evans poioned her husband because of
infatuation for another. Twice she has sp-
been denied. Mrs. Evans is said to have
told the officers that she had given Ler
husband dose of quinine Saturday night at
his request, but that as there were two
packages on the table, it is possible that she
gave him poison by mistake. The post
morten examination made by the coroner
establishes the presence of strychnine in
the stomach. Mrs. Evans al first insisted
that her husband had died of heart failure,
to which he was subject, but since then
has told several different stories and ad-
vanced as many conflicting theories. Sew
eral witnesses will be examined by the
prosecutor to-day and in the meantime Mrs
Evans is in Jail without bail.

Thomas Watson for President in 1896, and
bitterly opposed the efforts at fusion at that
time and ever since. They are both bitterly
opposed TO Colonel Bryan, and charge him
