DE LONE INCIDENT.
The Stir at the Capital Has Ouieted
DOXp.

Dowr,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE fol-
lowing statement was given out for
publication at the state department:
General Woodford telegraphed that
the minister's resignation had been
accepted before he presented the tele-
gram from the department He adds
that the first secretary at Washington
will be placed in charge of the legation
and a new minister will be appointed
at once Full reports to follow
It is believed here that the incident
is practically closed All sorts of
rumors were in circulation last night,
including one that a special cabinet
meeting was. held at midnight 1t can
be stated positively that no cabinet
meeting formal or informal, was held
last night.
The formal notification to this gov
ernment by Spain that Senor Dupuy de
Lone has ceased to represent it as
minister will be made to the state de-
partment about noon by Senior Don
Juan du Boso. first secretary of lega-
ton. who will act as charge d'affaires
until the arrival of Senior de Lome's
successor. The notification will be
purely formal and will state that
Senor de Lome's resignation as min
lister has been accepted and that the
government will be represented for the
present by Senor du Boso, the first
secretary of the legation.
The retiring minister is actively
engaged in preparing his personal eff
fects for shipment and in leave taking
of his friends and Diplomatic associates
in Washington. Some of his chattles
were sent to New York today. 1t is
the present purpose of Senor de LONE
to leave this country early next week.
He probably will sail bv one of the
French liners to Havre and thence
will proceed direct to Madrid. His
connection officially with this govern
ment has entirely ceased and he is
henceforth private citizen.

Wheat Shows an Upward Tendency.

an upward IenGency.
CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Substantial ad-
vances took place in the leading fea-
lures in wheat last week, May closing
with a net gain of 21s cents, while
July advanced 1ss cents. The market
was not without periods of weakness,
but in the main was strong, the feeling
at times very active, especially toward
the latter part Of the week. Saturday
and Monday there was a decided hear
ish disposition among traders. Weak
cables, favorable reports from the Ar
gentine, India and Australian crops
caused small declines. On Tuesday the
market was helped by the best de-
mand for export that has been re-
ported in some time. Urgent demand
from many of the principal milling
centers was also reported and the cCn-
tinUed heavy northwest receipts gave
the market I dropping tendency at
first, but the remarkable cash situa-
ton started a general buying move
ment late in the lay which finally be-
came a scramble to cover and a sharp
advance resulted. There was a reac-
ton on Wednesday on realizing and
outside selling, but on Thursday the
market became very strong and re-
manned so throughout Friday. Reports
that the Letter interests were making
contracts for the moving of all rail
of a large part of their wheat to the
seaboard and that part of it was for
direct shipment to Liverpool ad-
vaneed prices rapidly, the market TAX
ing on at times some degree of excite
ment under the urgent demand Strong
Liverpool cables. small stocks at that
market and the fact that Argentine
shipments fell short of expectations
added to the strength of the general
situation.

LESS LIQUOR DRINKING.
A Large Decrease in the Consumption Of
Intoxicants.

A Large Decrease in the Consumption Of
Intoxicants.
The bulletin for the federal depart
ment of labor for July gives figures to
show that there has be large decrease
iu the consumption of Intoxicating
liquors by the people of this country.
In 1880 the consumption of distilled
spirit in the United States was 215 gal
Ions for every man, woman and child +:
IN 1886 it was less than one gallon.
Such decrease in the use of strong
drink probabably never occurred before
among any people.
There has also been a decrease in the
use OF wine in this country. The per
capita consumption of wine in 1880 was
20 of gallon, and in 1896 iG was .26
of gallon.
But while there has been some de-
crease In the use of wine and a very
great decrease in the use of whlskey
brandy, gin and other spirits, the
consumption of beer has increased i'm
mensely.
In 1896 no less than 170,389, 448 GIRL
Ions of beer were used in this country.
The beer used for medicines, in cook
ing and for other purposes except
drinking is comparatively very small.
The great bulk of the beer consumed in
1896 was drunk. The per capita con-
SUMPTION of beer in 1880 was only 1.3f
gallons. By 1896 it had increased tc
1915 gallons.
In spite of this fact there is good
reason to believe that there has been a
great growth of temperance among our
people during the past eighteen years
Their larger use of mild drinks is more
than compensated for by the great re-
duction of the quantity of strong and
fiery liquors.

M'KINLEY'S GRAND UNCLE HANGED
The Irish Home of President McKinley's
Forefathers.

Life is full of little ironies. Thus
the year 1898 sees England solicitous
to see Mr.. Mckinley, as president of
the United States, friendly to an al
lance of the two great countries. In
the year 1898 the presidents grand
uncle was executed at Coleraine as an
enemy of England. Today the power
that executed the grand-uncle seeks
the goodwill of the granddaughter.
The Mckinley family hourished on a
farm at Conagher, in County Antrim,
Ireland. They had retained enough of
their Scottish origin to remain Presby-
terians. One of them, Francis, was ev-
identity filled with the American idea,
for he was so sufficiently convinced
Ireland was being oppressed by Eng
land that he took an active part in the
great uprising of 1898.
Like many other men, he had the
misfortune to be hanged for his
trouble, and was buried at Derrykeig-
han, where one may still read his life
story on grave-stone.
The veteran had two sons and five
daughters. One of the former came to
America to join his uncle, William,
who was the grandfather of President
Mckinley. His brother sold the pa
ternal farm in 1888, and also came to
the land of the free.

a large knife, and was making it more
