SIGSBEE IN WAX.
Captain of the st. Paul Sees himself
as Others See Him.

New York, June 14.-While the scout
ship St. Paul was coaling at Tompkins-
Vile this week Captain Sigsbee found
time to go up to the place of amuse-
ment where wax figures wer exhibited,
just to have a look at himself there in
wax.
It's right novel sensation" he re-
marked to a friend, the meeting your
self face to face for the first time. I
don't know that 1 quite like it.
1.-The wargraph is worse though. In
the moving picture you see yourself
walking toward yourself until you are
quite beside yourself. At first sight it
is most alarming. It gave me cold
chill.
My own tailor made that coat for
that wax doll, and wanted to see how
the uniforms he made have been look
ing all these years. Either the doll is
better built than I am or else that tailor
knows his business. The coat fits like
a glove. 1t would have been a godsend
down in Havana, when l was wearing
borrowed coats after my own were
gone. The wax doll rather had the
best of me-"

Letter Puts the Price of Wheat
Too High.
Pillsbury Gives His View of
the Collapse.
YOUNG MAN is GREEDY
Could Have Made Big Money by
Being Moderate.
Mills Are Now Expected to Buy
Wheat Again.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June lathe big
break in wheat has caused much ex-
element on change and among the
grain men. Letters failure to carry
the load which he attempted to handle
may have been expected by some, but
to the great majority it came as a sur
prise. The statement that northwestern
banks would be affected by the action
of Letter is, not true, at least to any
appreciable degree.
c. "A. Pillsbury, asked in regard to his
opinion of the break, it's causes and re-
suits, said:
The cause of the break in wheat
was that Mr.. Letter attempted to carry
toe heavy a load and put the price Of
wheat too high. If he had never at
tempted to put the price above $1.40.
he would probably have won out great
money, as 1T was legitim2tely worth
that. But when the market did not
come up to his expectations he kept in
creasing his load, and 1 understood
sold in Chicago yesterday on his &C
count.
"Of course Offering such an enormous
quantity of wheat on the market at
one time depressed prices, and it is
strange to me that it has not depressed
them more. And while this is being
sacrificed on the market prices will be
temporarily as much lower than they
been higher than they legitimately
should have been. Wheat is worth leg
timately 25 cents more than it closed
at yesterday and in my opinion will be
selling at about that much when the
liquidation owing to the scare is over.
In a few days the mills will be as eager
for wheat at a dollar a bUshel and up
wards as they have been apathetic con-
corning it at S1.40 and upwards"
President Chamberlain of the Securi
ty National bank said the banks of the
northwest were not put to any incon-
venience on account of Mr.. Letter, as
he has no dealings with them.
The most persistent rumors connect
ed Messrs. Pillsbury and Peavey, of
this city, with the deal The latter
gentleman, however, claimed to be
totally ignorant of the cause for the
trouble. Letter has some wheat in Mr..
Peavey's Duluth elevators, which is
the only interest the two have in COM
mon. Letter is said to own most of the
contract wheat in Minneapolis and
Duluth in public stocks and the Letter
cash interests will be feature in trad
ing for some time to come. 1t is true
also that Minneapolis will be drawn
upon for export wheat from now on,
or till the decline is checked.

COST OF CABLING.
kilograms From Manila Cost $235
Per Word.

New York, June 1.-THE many cable
lines and the resultant competition
have brought the cost of eommunica-
ton between New York and London
down to a fairly low figure, % cents
per word, but when one tries to reach
more remote parts of the world, where
the line is controlled by a single gov
eminent, or company, or where there is
little business to support 1t, the cost
OF sending messages mounts to alarm
ing figures. To send ten words from
New York to Manila, for instance, costs
1913. so, or $235 Der word beyond Lon
don. This is the commercial rate
Newspaper dispatches go for about half
this sum, but, even so, the cost of bring
ing a column of news from the Philip
pines mounts up to nearly four figures.
Even from a point so near as Curacao,
which became for a short time the CEN
ter of news interest, the commercial
two samples will give a fair intimation
of the immense sums being expended
by the newspapers in gathering in
formation about the war.
1t may seem at first thought that
$2.35 is large sum to pay for sending a
single word from New York to the
Philippines, but when one reflects that
such a message travels 900 miles, and
that it must be received and transmit
ted over a score of different lines or
branches, he is more likely to come to
the conclusion that it is very cheap,
all things considered. From New York
and from there by another loop to
Hearts Content, Newfoundland where
it dives beneath the Atlantic to reap
pear on the coast of Ireland and be
again forwarded to London, which is
the great center of cable and telegraph
communication for the whole world
From London to the east there are
two great routes. The first, via either
the eastern or Indo-European COM
pany's lines, will take the message
across the channel and overland to
Marseilles, or by the all-water course
around the Spanish peninsula, stopping
at Lisbon; thence through the Mediter-
ranean to Alexandria, across Egypt by
land, down the Red sea to Alden,
through the Arabian sea to Bombay,
over India by land, across the Bay of
Bengal to Singapore, along the coast
of Hong Kong, and across the China
sea to Manila
The other route from London is even
longer and covers a much greater part
of the journey by land. 1t takes the
message from London by the lines of
the Great Northern company across
Russia and Siberia to Vladivostock,
and thence along the China coast to
Hong Kong.

CAME BACK RICH.
Good Fortune Comes to Man After
Eighteen Years.

Buffalo, N Y, June 14.-Eighteen
years ago Arthur Bride disappeared
from his home in Tonawanda- His
friends never heard from him during
the years of absence. His parents
thought he was dead. Two days ago
he returned to Tonawanda wealthy
man.
Bride came direct from Dawson City,
in the Klon6ike. He was one of the
first to enter ~ gold fields and struck
it rich. He says he controls three val
liable claims and has taken 100000 out
of one of them. To substantiate his
claims he displayed some of the prec-
ious gold nuggets.
Bride left without a dollar. He
prospected in British Columbia in 1881,
discovered a rich claim and sold it for
So, 900, then left for parts farther north.
Later he went to Dawson City. Bride
saws that several of the richest mines
in the KIondike were discovered in 1873:
Their owners worked them quietly and
kept their rich find a, secret Tor many
years Bride left Dawson City two
months ago. He came back for the
purpose of arranging for the shipment
of heavy mining machinery to Alaska.
He will return with it.

MERRITT HAS ENOUGH.
No More Regiments will Be Ordered
to San Francisco.

New York, June 1.-THE war depart
ment has no present intention of send
ing any more troops to San Francisco
for the Philippines expedition than
have already been ordered there, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Times.
Gen. Merritt announced before he left
New York that he wanted at least 20
900 men to take to Manila and that he
intended to have that number 1t was
generally accepted here that Gen. Mer-
rift won his point and that the depart
ment promised him the men he asked
for. 1t is now stated that instead of the
10000 men he has counted on, only 49,
900 have been assembled at San Fran
cisco and that the future governor gen
eral of the Philippines is getting uneasy
about the other 1000.
Adjutant General Corbin has several
times recently, in response to direct in
Quiries, stated that it was not intended
to send any more troops to the Philip
pines than those already selected for
that work. He was asked the same
question today in view of San Fran
cisco reports about Gen. Merritt in
sisting on more men and he answered
again that there were no intentions of
ordering any more additional regiments
to Manila at this time. If the asser-
ton telegraphed from San Francisco is
correct that 10000 troops are already
maSSed there, counting those who have
gone to Manila, it is estimated that the
recruiting of these regiments to their
maximum strength as it being done I'M
der the second call will eventually raise
the strength of the force is very nearly
10000.
1t is thought to be probable that the
war department is depending upon this
means to fill it out as the recruits can
left with the regiments to which they
belong.

WAR AND CHEWING GUM.
The Tax Imposed Will Not Increase
Prices.

Chicago, June 1.-THE imposition of
a war tax on chewing gum will not
have the effect of raising the price. the
American Association of Chewing Gum
manufacturers has said it, and dealers
may take notice. This action was Ia
ken at a recent meeting held in Buffalo,
N. Y, when new officers were elected
and other important business transact
ed.
The war tax calls for cents on every
dollar of the retail price. This, on the
present output, would amount to 1928
900. AS the raw gum pays the govern
ment an import tax of $3.50, 900 a year,
the total for next year from this source
should be at least 1875, 900.
The manufacturers pledge them
selves to see that the wholesalers
watch the dealers and forbid them to
raise the price per package which pre-
walls at present. Those not complying
will soon find themselves without gum.
There were % manufacturers at the
Buffalo meeting and their output is
about IS per cent Of all chewing gum
sold in the country.

COAST PATROL DELAY.
Admiral Erben and Naval Reserves
Officers Clash.

New York, June 1.-THE delay of the
government to provide a suitabIe har-
Dor and coast patrol fleet creates dis
content among shippers. 1t is said
that a disagreement between Admiral
Erben, who commands the Atlantic
coast and harbOr fleet, and the naval
reserves is likely to cause more trouble.
Congress delayed the passage of the
house resolution providing for the 49,
600 600 and giving authority to enlist
naval reserves for patrol duty and 1t
was in the presidents hands nearly a
week When he did sign the resolu-
ton Admiral Erben announced that the
work of providing men and vessels
would be accomplished at once. Two
weeks have elapsed, but the patrol fleet
still remains incomplete.
Now comes the rumOred fight be-
tween the naval reserves and the naval
officers who are looking for commands.
Admiral Erben is refusing to give
naval reserve officers responsible COM
mands. Commander Jacob w Miller,
the head of the New York naval re-
serves. has gone to Washington to lay
the matter before the president.
Neither Admiral Erben nor the Of
fcers of the reserves will discuss the
question, but it is we'll known that
naval reserve officers have been re-
duced in rank.

the baby who was kidnapped from it's
home on Memorial Day, is believed to
be enroute to Canada. Information
has reached the police department that
the little one had been thaced as far as

1t was authoritatively stated that a

parted with the child in the direction of
the Canadian line. The authorities
