A New York Judge has granted wife
q separation from her husband for si1
months. with alimony at the rate Of
$lO week. The plaintiff was a wife
80 years old, the defendant husband
OF 20. Doubtless the young woman feels
herself happy in being rid of the old
gentleman for six months, receiving in
the meantime $40 week. At the enc
OF the first term of separation she can
apply for an extension and the old hus.
band is not likely to survive many de-
crees OF court. Anything is possible
under our divorce laws, and the prece-
dent set by Judge Gaynor of New York
may be extensively followed and separ-
alton take the place in court records

disagreeable word divorce.

The Chicago wheat deal is attract
ing much attention. Joseph Letter
continues to hold his immense pur-
chases of high grade winter wheat, an
amount now estimated at 10000 900
bushels. In the meantime prices are
advancing in all parts of the world,
and it is difficult to predict the figure
which will be reached by May wheat.
The Letter clique claims that the far
mers have long since parted with their
wheat, and points to the fact that
"dollar wheat" fails to materially in
crease the receipts at the principal
points. An interesting feature of the
situation is the development that hun
dreds Of millers and wholesale -four
dealers have been mixing corn meal
with flour and selling this blended mix
ture as high grade wheat. This is said
to account for "black Bread" and the
further fact that flour has not adj
vanced in price in proportion to wheat.
This matter has been introduced into
congress and some legislation may fol-
low. The reports of a Russian short
age which were at first vigorously
denied, are found to be true, and the
government will probably repeal the
duty on wheat so as to permit imports
The stocks now in Russian ports
amount to 11,eoo,ooo bushels, as against
an average of 100000 bushels for
same dates in the last ten years. The
London Times prints telegram from
st. Petersburg saying that the failure
Of the crops threatens worse dearth
than that of 1891. Russian editors are
forbidden to refer to. the matter of the
coming reduction in import duties.

SINKING INTO THE MUD.

wreck of the Maine IL SLOWLY nut
Surely Settling.
Havana, Feb. 27.-The wreck of the
Maine is slowly but surely sinking
into the mud. Before the hull could
be raised it would be necessary to
move the guns and deck debris. For
lack of proper appliances practically
nothing in this line has been accom-
plished. Aside from the officers and
cabin effects the salvage thus far has
been pitifully small. The cloudy
weather and rain made the work Of
the divers unsatisfactory yesterday
and very little was done. 1t is said
that a hole has been made by the
divers in one of the forward matches
and it is hoped that a number of
bodies will be recovered. The court
of inquiry sat longer than usual YES
terday, the six divers being examined
more in detail than heretofore. 4
civilian, whose testimony is said to be.
of some Importance, was also exam
ined. The name of the witness and
all the particulars of the evidence are
withheld.

Subordinates OH the Maine.
There We're no signs of disturbance
here and carnival week is apparently
closing in perfect quiet, there being
much less excitement than usual.
Gunner Charles Morgan, of the cruiser
New York, arrived on the Mangrove
and is in immediate charge of the
divers. The divers found copper
cylinder used in conveying charges to
the six-inch guns. The fact that it had
exploded seems to show that there
was an explosion in the magazine for
fixed ammunition on the port side for
ward.
All the wounded men except two
are doing well. Paul Lotus and one
other will be taken to Key West to-
morrow by the Bache.
In the afternoon the court of in.

his appreciation of the courtesies
