WHEAT KNOCKS OUT SILVER.
KanSans Have no lime for "Isms" With
Big Grain Crops.

Chicago, Nov. l4.-In the great Kansas
wheat belt elevators are iammed with the
grain and buyers are in despair searching
for storehouSes for wheat.
For ten davs car famine has existed
and cars TO move the cereal have been at
a high premium.
Reports from ten towns in the wheat
belt say scores Of the farmers who had
brought in wheat last week for the Eastern
market were compelled to haul it back
home and wait until the railroads could
get cars there. One-third of the wheat is
going to Galveston and from there by ship
to Liverpool.
Kansas railroads have announced that
during the coming week they will be able
to supply cars to move at least lo, ,ooo, 900
bushels of wheat out of our State, 1t is
doubtful, however, that the roads will be
to keep their promise. From all over
the West come demands for cars and the
same story of bursting granaries,

Who is TO blame?
The Secretary of the Navy has received
a cablegram from Captain McCalla, who
was sent to see if the Maria Teresa could

pect TO rescue the ship. Hobson, who
was with him and examined the stranded
vessel, agreed with McCAlla.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The States carried by the Republican
party in the elections last week have a
majority of l2l of the electoral votes.
That don't give much encouragement for
the Bryanites in 1900.
The Richmond Times is urging that the
Democrats of the Southern States hold a
convention. What is the necessity The
South is practically solid. What matters
if it does not stand for any great political
principle, and agrees upon nothing, but its
desire for offices.
Richard Croker and Carter Harrison
are said to be fixing upon a plan to defeat
free silver at the next National Demo
cratic Convention. The Republicans
already have we'll matured plan 10 de-
feat it before the people in 1900.
The Republicans are about solid for ex.
pansion and the Democrats are divided on
the question. This means that we will
expand,
A Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journal says that Bailey
will be repudiated as the leader of the
Democratic party in Congress, and that
Hon. David A DeArmond, of Missouri,
is likely to be selected for leadership 1t
will be very hard to suppress Bailey, and
he is likely to continue to amuse Repub-
licans and disgust Democrats.
The Southern Democratic newspapers
are very much disturbed at what they term
a revival of force bill theories. There is
no likelihood of the enactment of force
bill, but in all probability there may be
another Federal election law put in opera
ton. The unfair election laws in some OF
the Southern States may ultimately require
it.
Elections in Virginia under the Walton
law are nothing more than farce. The
machine grinds out a majority to suititself.
Every State in which President, McKin-
ley spoke on his way to and from Omaha,
went Republican.

DIS0UlETlNG REPORTS.
Fears of a Massacre of Spaniards at
lIoiIo.

Washington, November l6.-Reports OF
somewhat disquieting nature have been
received from General Otis, in command
at Manila. He says that the province Of
Iloilo, in the island of Panay, which is
occupied by the Spaniards, is surrounded
by the insurgents, and that fears are en-
tertained that the Spanish population and
garrison will be massacred by the insur-
gents. The capital Of the province is 3S5
miles from Manila, but this and the other
islands, with the exception of Manila and
its adjacent country, is not under the con-
troll of the Americans. Heretofore the
United States officers have tried to pre-
vent disturbances between the insurgents
and the Spaniards, through good offices
and counsel.
The indications are, however, that the
present situation in Iloilo cannot be con-
trolled by the United States army at Ma
Mia or the insurgents leaders there, and if
serious consequences are averted, some
other method will have to be adopted.
The troops under General Otis are rot
available for ally such duty, and under
the terms of the protocol, pending peace
negotiations, it is not desirable to send a
force from the army to the island of Panay.
There is no intention at present Of sending
additional troops to General Otis, but the
situation is such as to strengthen the de-
termination of the administration not to
reduce the available force now under his
command.

The PEACE CRISIS.
London Newspapers Urge America 10
Send a Fleet if Spain Continues
Obstinate.

London, Nov 15.-The morning papers
comment editorially upon the peace con-
ference crisis and the American naval
preparations, reiterating their conviction
of the hopelessness Of Spanish opposition
and recognizing that the United States
have practically no alternative, especially
after the elections, but complete annexa-
ton, and that if Spain continues obstinate
the United States must send fleet to Eu-
rope, an action which no power but Great
Britain would welcome, though none
would be likely to interfere in Spain's be-
half.
The "Daiy Telegraph" says: ave
cannot believe that President Mckinley
favors a compromise that would leave
Spain portion of her Far Eastern posses
sions. Such a policy would combine the
evils of both alternatives confronting
America, since Spain would speedily sell
the remnant"

proceedings have commenced, and notify
ing him to prepare his defense, is very
significant, as it has hitherto been gener-
ally admitted that no innovation should
be introduced in the Dreyfus proceedings.
Questions willn be drafted and posted
to Dreyfus, who will formulate his replies.
Paris, November 15.-'The Courier du
Soir says that NJ. Cavaignac, former Min
ister of War, and NJ. Deroulede, one Of
the most violent opponents Of the Dreyfus
revision, called upon the Premier, NJ. Du-
puy, today and asked him not to execute
the decision of the Court of Cessation to
notify Dreyfus to prepare his defense. NJ.
Dupuy refused to comply with their re-
quest, whereupon they threatened to make
an Interpolation in the Chamber.
The Courier du Soir adds: "The Court
of Cessation has decided in principle to
demand the production of the secret dos
sier, though the formal steps have not
been taken"

MCKinIev's Next Message.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 13.-President
Mckinley is ut work on his annual mes
sage, which will be transmitted to Con-
gress. He called on Secretary Cortelyou
yesterday, and started in where he left of
before going TO Canton. The President
will not touch upon the currency question,
except in a general way. The wide breach
between the two branches of Congress on
the money question prevents the passage
of any remedial currency legislation, and
the President is willing to wait until the
incoming Of the new Congress, which he
will convene in March, before suggesting
currency reforms.

lowing committee of prominent Masons,

Virginia, at the request Of the Grand
Lodge of the State OF Colorado, have de-
termined to mark the' centennial of the
death of President Washington by suita
able Masonic ceremonies at Mount Vernon

gnia will have the co-operatian of the
Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia,
and probably all Of the igrand lodges in

cation or reproduction of the funeral cere-
monies on December is, 1893. The lodge
in which Washington was made Il Mason
and the Washington-Alexand Lodge of
which he was the first master, will take
prominent parts in the ceremonies.
Masons from all pats of the world are
expected to be present. The lodges of
New Zealand have already indicated a
purpose to send delegations,
1t is expected that the ceremonies will
be continued in Washington city.
The President assured the committee
that he was in full sympathy with the
project, and. if nothing occurred to pre-
vent, he would gladly take such part in
the services as the committee might
wish.

First.

Washington, November 15.-The gov
ernment has renewed and strengthened
its determination that tie Spanish evac-
uation of Cuba and the American occu-
patton shall not be deferred beyond jan
uary next. This conclusion has been
communicated to the Spanish govern
ment within the last few days, in answer
20 an urgent request that the date of evac-
uation be put off because ofthe large num-
Der OF Spanish troops remaining on the
island; who, it is represented, could not
be moved before January /.
Not being a subject which could be
treated by the commissions at Paris or at
Havana, the request Of the Spanish gov
ernment was forwarded to Washington
through the French embassy, which re-
ceived also and forwarded by cable the
refusal of this government to put off the
date Of assuming American control.

THE PRINTERS CONSOLATION.

Tell me, ye winged winds,
That round my pathway lay,
Is there No place on earth,
Where printers get their pay?
The whispering breeze went by
With accents filled with woe,
A voice borne on the sorrowing air
In sadness answered, "No."
Tell me, we flowing streams,
That smoothly glide along,
Is there one cherished place,
Where printers meet no wrong?
The gentle brook replied,
In murmurs soft and low,
And winding on its yerdant way,
1t meekly answered, "No."
Tell me, ye murky clouds,
Now rising in the west,
Is there upon the globe,
One spot by printers blest?
The flashing clouds outspoke
With an indignant glow,
A voice that filled the earth with awe,
In thunders answered, "No."
Tell me, hard-hearted man,
Withholding day by day,
Is there no honor in thy breast
The printers bill to pay?
Unanswering turns he round
How plain his actions show;
An uttered oath-capp'd sound is heard,
His actions answered, "No."
Tell me, We gentle nymphs,
Who bless life's hours through,
Is there one sacred shrine
Where printers get there due?
A mantling blush her cheek difused,
Did tenfold grace impart,
A responsive sigh replied,
"Tis found in woman's heart"
Tell me, angelic hosts,
Ye messengers of love,
Shall suffering printers here below
Have no redress above?
Tie angel band replied:
'To us is knowledge given
Delinquents on the printers books,
Can never enter heaven!"
