Light Northwest Deliveries Caused
an Advance In Wheat.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Opening prices in
wheat were practically unchanged from
yesterday. Northwest receipts were COM
paratively small, but LIS was offset by
decline. of SD in the futures and Id for
spot at Liverpool For a few. minutes
prices were at a standStill, with q very
narrow trading. Shorts were good buy
ers soon and many longs, acting on the
belief that prices were in for good adj
vance, increased their holdings. Appar-
entity the rapid decline in farmers de-
lveries in the northwest overShadowed
everything else in its influence on trad
ers. Argentine news was favorable and
early reports from the seaboard did not
indicate very bright prospects for a con-
tinued good foreign, demand for Ameri-
can wheat, one cable from Germany re-
fusing offerings on the ground that
Russia was offering wheat under Ameri-
can parity. Nevertheless the local senti-
ment was bullish and even at the good
advance wheat did not come out in very
great quantities. Near the end of the
session reports of heavy shipping orders
here for st. Louis and the seaboard
proved an additional stimulus to buyings.

Corn was active and higher. Local bull
traders bought aggressively. The wheat
strength had considerable influence. May

Oats though rather dull were firm.
Offerings were not large. May closed

New Zealand Statistics.

The New Zealand birth rate continues to attract
the attention of statsticians. 1t has steadily de-
clned until it is slightly under 26 per LOCO
In the last sixteen years it has fallen more than
II points. Population increases, but the number
of births Iemains virtually stationary, and so
the rate per thousand sinks. The births numbered
between 1900 and 1900 in 1882, and they num-
bered between $4,000 and 1900 in 1896. If the
rate gees on falling it will in few years be on
level with that of Ireland, if net of France
Two things save the colony from an arrest of
growth OF population. First, the death rate-9.3
per 1,0eo-is the lowest recorded of any country
in the world. Secondly, there is small but
appreciable immigration. These who hold that
higher standard Of education and comfort involves
decline in boih the birth and death rates have
here a confirmation of their theory. The average
of children in regular school attendance in New
Zealand is higher even than in Scotland

ELkINS AND DAVIS.

Senator Elkins has thrown himself into
the campaign in West Virginia, accord
ing TO the reports from that State He
has taken the stump and is billed 10
make speeches every day until election.
The West Virginia campaign up TO the
present time has not been very exciting:
the Republicans have refused to get
warmed up for some reason. While the
Republicans carried the State two years
ago the signs point this year to a Dem
ocratic victory all along the line The
Legislature to be elected this Fall will
choose a successor to Senator Charles ]
Faulkner, and the Administration would
be extremely gratihed to have Repub-
lican carry off the prize. There has been
some doubt in the minds of u good many
people just where Mr.. Elkins stood in
the contest, particularly after his father
in-law, Henry @. Davis announced him
self as a candidate for the Senate on the
Democratic side; but now that Mr. Ell
kins has thrown himself so to speak in
to the thick of the fray, all doubt regard
ing himself will, of course, be cleared up
He is for a Republican if the Republi-
cans carry the Legislature, and for his
father-in-law if the Democrats should be
successful. This ought to satisfy Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Scott and
Gov. Atkinson, who have been endeav-
oring to get Mr.. Elkins to declare him.
self. Speaking about Senator Elkins S
attitude in the West Virginia fight, a
West Virginia Republican said yesterday
that ii reminded him of a contest that
took place several years ago in a small
town in his district over the imposing
of a school tax. The town was about
evenly divided on the subject; everyone
had declared himself one way or the
other except old Squire Jones, who was
VIGOROUSLY non-committal on every pub
lie matter. Finally at a public meeting
held in the town hall the squire was
called upon to declare himself. Now
we have got the squire" shouted the
crowd. He has got to declare himself
now; there is no escape for him."
Ladies and gentlemen said the
squire this matter of a school tax has
been agitating our town for some little
time. A great many people are for it,
and an almost equal number are against
it. l am surprised that there should be
any doubt as to my position in the mat
ter All l have to say, is that if the
school tax is right. then I'm for it. and
if 1t is wrong, then / am against it. !
hope that there will be no further wrang-
ling as to where l stand on this import
ant subject"

ProhnhIN Infrue.

Until there is confirmation Of the Ma
drid report Of a battle between Admiral
Dewey and the ships Of the insurgents.
the probabilities give ample warrant
for doubling its truth. II Dewey has
been compelled TO fire on the ships %
Aguinaldo, we may reasonably assume
that il was for some other reason than
the flying Of the flag Of the insurgents.
There has been no report that the
American authorities had forbidden
them to fly their flag. For months
Aguinaldo has been playing dictator
and has had his flag and symbols. and
neither Admiral Dewey nor General
Merritt made any objection as far as is
known
1t is always safe TO believe that Ad-
miral Dewey has done the right thing.
IT would not be the right thing to assault
the insurgents for no other cause. They
are in rebellion, not against America.
but Spain. Their insurrection was fos-
tered by Admiral Dewey, to the extent
Of supplying them with arms, ammuni-
ton, and, sometimes, food. They were
formally recognized by General Merritt
and allowed TO exercise military control
Of the suburbs Of Manila. There has
been no change in the situation, as far
as the sovereignty Of the island is con-
cerned, since the surrender Of Manila
and the recognition of the insurgents
AS long as the latter confined their
movements to the driving out of the
Spaniards We could have no reason to
interfere. Certainly not for the flying
of a flag which has waved over Aguin-
aldo's camp unchallenged.
Therefore We do not believe the story
from Madrid. Admiral Dewey may have
had occasion to discipline the insur-
gents, but we may be sure il was for
something very much more serious.
There has never come a truthful ac-
count OF a fight by way Of Madrid.
With fatuous folly the officials there
doctor every message, even to the ex-
tent Of reversing the facts. Every VIC
tory won by the American navy mas
been reported as an American repulse
in the dispatches from the Spanish
capital. This is another reason why
we should not credit this most unlikely

A Thirty-DolIar Husband.
(From the New York Tribune.

An appeal was made to Judge Mexican yester-
day in the Seventh Judicial district court by May
Rascin, a young French woman, for Judgment
of $50 against Max Berriheimer, OF No. 222 East
Ninety-fifth Street, who had promised to get her
a husband for that sum. The woman told Judge
Mexican that she was a governess in a wealthy
New York family. She came TO this country only
a year ago. She wanted husband, and she asked
Bernheimer to get one for her. paying him $50.
THE first man be brought me-" said the gov
erness Indignantly, was croSS-eyed, knock hneed
and redheaded. A glance was sufficient. Then he
got me a doctor. liked him and approved of
him, but the doctor told me that he wanted to
marry for money. and could not think of penni-
less wife, so he was lost to me- was then in
troduced to German he found who, he said,
was just the for me. thought the German
very nice. He said he owned saloon and was
worth S. 0O0 l decided to take him, but /
found out that he didn't own the saloon-his
brother did,
The woman said she wanted to go back to her
own country. Bernheimer said he willing to
get husband for her. and pleaded that he had
already introduced three men to her. Judge Nc
Kean gave judgment for the plaintiff, and the
wornan's lawyer said he would begin criminal
action
