ed valuable orchards and damaged grow

timated at fully $4,000. Isaac Henry

QUIETER FEELING FOLLOWS

Letters Cola pse Caused Only a Tenn
poFary FURRY in Cereals.
BradStreet's commercial report says:
unprecedented foreign trade totals, in
vOlving heavily increased shipments of
breadstuffs, provisions, raw cotton and
manufactured products; hattering crop
prospects, pointing to a very large yield
of wheat and most other cereals, as well
as cotton; profitable railway operations,
as reflected in relatively higher gains In
net than in gross receipts; activity in
nearly all lines of manufacturing except
some textile branches; prices for most
staples showing heavy advances over the
preceding year; bank clearings exceeding
all previous records at this date; volume
of new demand limited in the East and
South to midsummer dullness, but in the
West and Northwest comparing fayora-
bly, with records of previous years, and a
low rate of business mortality, are all
features of the general business situation
at the present time. The collapse of
Letter and his deal in wheat, with the
decentralization of prices which was con-
comitant, has been followed by quieter
feeling in cereal markets, but export de-
mand, partly on early placed orders, has
improved and more is doing by -four mill
ers. 1t is true that the continued wet
weather in sections west of the Missis-
sippi is affecting wheat harvesting, but
trade opinion leans to a crop of 100000
900 bushels of wheat and large yields of
most other cereals. with corn promising
least favorably. Wheat exports for the
week aggregate 4,3SO,7 bushels, against
4,730, 9S2 bushels last week and 2,547, $40
bushels in this week a year ago. Corn
exports are also slightly smaller than last
week, amounting to 4 100000 bushels"

MINERS FEAR PIRATES.
K1ondikers Afraid to Trust Their Gold
on Unescorted Steamers.

K1ondikers Afraid to Trust Their Gold
on Unescorted Steamers.
The first boat from Dawson is expected
at San Francisco about July 4. But it is
not likely that many miners will trust
their gold on n vessel unless she is es-
corted by a government steamer. There
is very general impression around Daw-
son that pirates have banded together to
attack a gold-carrying vessel on the high
seas and loot her. Mr.. Stanley, of Seattle,
has two sons at Dawson who have $780,
600 in gold dust and they are firm IN
their statements that they will not trust
their gold on any unescorted vessel. The
pirates are supposed to be from sound
country. Ship captains from sound ports
have heard nothing definite regarding the
existence of pirates, but they say miners
are sure of plot and that unless vessels
are protected no gold will be brought
down from Yukon.

Shore Signals for the Navy.

How to signal from the land to snip
at sea has always been difficult Ques-
ton. All devices fall short of require
ments when it is necessary to carry ON
conversation between the land and SHIPS.
One Ardois has now perfected device
by which this signaling can be accom-
plished The invention is known as the
Boughton telephotos. One of them is now
being set up to add to the already nearly
perfect system Of defense at Sandy HOOK.
1t consists of an arrangement of lights on
high tower. BY means of it the slgnai
officer will be able to sit in his little CABIN
at the top of the tower and by the use OF
a keyboard, not differing materially from
that of typewriter, carry on CONVERSE
ton with a vessel far out at sea. Inc
tower is about sixty feet high and IS open'
except for two cabins built in it. one three
quarters of the way up and the other on
top. The upper cabin is slit BY narrow
window the whole breadth of the side eX-
posed to the sea. From this the lookout
may sweep with his glasses the whole eA-
panse of ocean from Far RockaWay to
Scotland Lightship. Red and white are
the only colors used in signaling, ana the
code is easily indicated on the cover by
placing underneath the letters OF the al
phabet number of red and white circles,
corresponding to the number of red ana
white lights shown. to indicate the same
letter outside. Thus, under the letter "
there would be, say, three red circles ana
one white. On the outside of the tower
are a number of arms stretching out at
right angles to It, On these arms the cleo
trio lights are arranged all with red or
white globes and of sufficient size to be
seen miles out at sea- The mechanism by
which the lights are operated from the
KEYS is q secret

Government Out a Million.

A well-known banking house made a
proposition to the Secretary of the Treas
ury to subscribe for $10O,O0O,OOO of the
new bonds at 101. Under the law the
bonds must be sold at par and allotted to
the subscribers for the smaller amounts
first, hence the offer could not be enter
tanned. Subscriptions for $40 bonds or
multlples of that amount up to $500 will
be awarded as fast as received.

The British schooner Shenandoah, Cap
tain Gibson, bound from Norfolk, Va, to
Berbice, British Guiana, with 10000
slaves and heading, was burned to the
waters edge while anchored in Hampton

watch, who at once reported to the cap
tain. All hands turned out, and did every
thing possible to save the vessel, but were
compelled to abandon her in haste. The
only articles saved were the schooners

masts went by the board and the hull was
wrapped in flames from stem to stern.
The loss is partly covered by insurance.

Goes Through Niagara Alive.

Robert Leach OF WATERFOWL, n. Y, at
tempted to do what Carlisle D. Graham
did on July II. 1886. but only half sue
ceeded. Leach has built barrel on which
to go over the Horseshoe Falls at Mag
ara, and tested it by going through the
rapids. 1t was close to o'clock when he
appeared IN the gorge dressed in blue
tights trimmed with red. His barrel and
boat were in waiting, and after a short
delay Leach entered the barrel. The man
hole cover was placed in position, and
the boat started out from the shore to-
ward midstream with the barrel in tow
When we'll out the boat threw the tow
rope off and the two men in the boat
pulled back to shore. Slowly the barrel
drifted down stream, but it was not
caught by the main current and 1t swung
in towards shore. The boat put off and
again towed the barrel out in the river.
This time it was caught by the down cur
rent. The barrel rode the waves nicely.
Only a few times did the crests of some
of the larger waves bury the craft out OF
sight, but It's temperance was so quick
as to not leave many anxious moments for
the onlookers. Straight down stream it
went and as it approached the whirlpool
all thought that it was going right into it.
However. the barrel was caught in the
current of the eddy on the Canadian side
just above the whirlpool. and there it
foatea until Leach's friends rescued him.
