He has had experience on the range as cowboy, has lived in fact thoroughly in the life of the west, so can sympa- thize with the needs and aspirations of western people.

He is type that interests me considera-

He generally carries an umbrella, and not
infrequently-I give you my word that l
am not exaggerating-he puts by his money

Perhaps it is the fact that racing does
not excite the editor that accounts for this.
The racing results are given on an entirely

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13. - Assistant
Surgeon Henry Page of the field hospital at
Camp Merritt reports that there are eighty
two cases of measles and one of mumps
in the camp. The cases of measles are
divided among the various state troops as
follows: Montana, 6; Kansas, IA; California
10; Oregon. 8; Iowa, 1; Nebraska, II; South
Dakota, s; North Dakota, s; Idaho, II; regu-
lars, 4.
That the disease is spreading is evidenced
by supplementary reports that nineteen
new cases were discovered today.
Lieut.-Col Jewett, judge-advocate on the
staff of Gen. Merritt, has received orders
to accompany the second Philippine expe-
dition on the steamer China. He will be
accompanied by Major Bell, head of the de-
partment of military information. Col.
Jewett, who is prominent lawyer of Indi-
ana, expected to sail later on with Maj
Gen. Merritt, but it was deemed advisable
TO send him in advance to make preliminary
arrangements for the administration of af-
fairs on the islands as soon as they are in

COAL WASTE UTILIZED
invention of an Engineer to Make
Heat Cheaner

William Westlake, Brooklyn engineer,
mas succeeded in bringing to the point of
practical perfection an invention for util-
lzins waste coal dust, fuel upon which
ne mas been working for many years. The
achievement represents years of laborious
study an dexperiment, and while Mr.. West
lake has not yet succeeded in making his
machine as perfect as he hopes to make 1t,
he has gone far enough to convince experts
that his invention is a success.
Mr. Westlake sailed yesterday for Eng
land on board the Lucania, and the pur-
pose OF his trip is to interest capital in his
new device and to secure patents abroad.
He Is confident of convincing the English
people of the practical advantages of his
furnace, and believes that before he re-
turns to Brooklyn he will have succeeded
in forming syndicate to promote his new
device.
Before going abroad Mr.. Westlake in
vited number of competent engineers of
Brooklyn and Manhattan to examine the
machine, and they assured him that it was
thoroughly practicable and would prove to
be valuable invention. Among the we'll
known engineers who believe Mr.. West
lakes invention is a success are George +.
Haven of Brooklyn and William T. Dom
nelly of Manhattan.
The practical benefits represented by Mr.
Westlake's invention are many. The econ
cmy in fuel Is of itself an important item,
but there are many other points of advan-
tage equally as great. His system permits
the reduction of boilers to half the present
size, which is accomplished by using three
tubes instead of one. 1t also obviates the
disagreeable features of smoke and waste.
the waste residuum passing off, as Mr..
Westlake explains, with the uptake. Mr..
Westlake believes his system of gener-
ating heat one of the most important in
ventions of the age.
Some idea of the extent of the saving
which is possible through the use of Mr..
Westlake's burner is given in his state
ment that "1400 pounds of coal dust, at 30
cents to 81 per ton. is equivalent to one ton
of coal costing from 81 to 50 per ton"
Mr. Westlake's invention can be applied
to boilers ranging from ten to $4,000 horse
power. They can be used to good advan-
tage on steamships or in large plants and
factories. In many cases the burners can
be applied to the boilers already in use at
the cost of a nominal sum.-Brooklyn

Joseph Letter could not be located to-

lively declined to say a word.
Joseph Letter entered the market April
2, 1897, and Immediately afterwards the
pressure Of tremendous power was felt
but no man knew whose was the hand
Letters first order was negotiated by
Broker George B. French. 1t was for
100000 bushels of May wheat at 7OB
cents per bushel. Then orders came thick
and fast. The cheapest wheat bought by
Letter was 100000 bushels bought June
1887, for September delivery at 64M
cents.
The deal ran thirteen months, during
which time thd price of wheat was down
TO 64a4 cents in June 1897, and up to 81. IS

day. Weakness in the markets abroad

in the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas.

it continued to decline. every drop of "
cent bushel bringing out shoals of stop,
over orders. In that time September
wheat had lost az cents of it's value, as ii
stood at the close Of the session on Sat
urday. December, the next most
active delivery, declined 31s cents
in the same time. The nearby deliveries,
however, in which the trading was very
much smaller, suffered severely. July
dropped TX cents, and June cents. Dur
ing that time it was mere hunt for
buyers in the pit, and for time it was
a question as to how much could be got
for it. 1t became current gossip about -
o'clock that Joseph Letter had transferred
his open trades in wheat to others, than
his trading on the floor. His trades in
June. it soon became definitely known,
had been transferred to Armour & Co..
and his September trades to Lampson
Brothers & Co. AS that was interpreted
as a sign of financial weakness, the eff
feet upon the market,wasI very depress-
ing. The previous decline had been SO
severe, and the market had been relieved
of such a great quantity of long wheat,
however, that the prominence that might
otherwise have been looked for at such
a suggestion as the mere possibility Of
Letter being in financial difficulty was
averted. Although further decline was,
Of course, inevitable. July declined to

close Saturday. September fell to 69A,

NEW YORK, June 13.--Wheat circles
were considerably excited today over the
publication of startling rumors affecting
the financial standing of Chicago's
famous bull clique. Color was given to,
such reports by sensational break of
about 90 cents per bushel in the July
option at Minneapolis and Duluth, in
which markets It was understood that the
bull interests maintained its greatest
holdings. Along in the late afternoon
however, on reports that heavy export
trade had been accomplished, prices
jumped almost cents bushel and
closed rather steady, July at SO cents
and September at 75% cents. although

1.-THE cause of the break In wheat to-
day was that Mr.. Letter attempted to
carry too heavy 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 it was legitimately worth that.
But wher the market did not come up to
his expectations he kept increasing his
load. and l understand there was nearly
100000 bushels sold in Chicago today on
his account.
"Of course offerings of such an enor-
nous 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 sac
rificed on the market prices will be tenn
porarily as much lower than they legiti-
mately should be as they have been

WHY THEY WANT IT.

The reasons why Spain wants wal

view with Lupercio Martinez, a Cuban
residing in St. Louis and reputed to
be in close touch with the Junta and
the leaders Of the cause of indepen-
dence. He states that the CubaiS
are not in favor Of a wal between the
United States and Spain.
I'VE do not want to see The United
States declare wa against SPAN, ~
said Mr.. Martinez. "Wecan win our
own independence now and need no
intervention. Spain realizes 1t, and
the Sagasta party is anxious ior war
in the interests of its own selfshness,
and as the only one means lett by
which it can perpetuate itself IN view
of the impending crisis in Cuba.
Spain realizes its inability to keep
the island. But the Sagasta pay
dare not declare such to be the case,
because to do so would mean The
downfall OF the party, its utter def'
truction in the whirlpool of popular
fury and most likely a revolution. Tt
declare the island independent would
be a death blow to the powers that
now rules Spain"
