The Financial Chronicle discusses at
considerable length the report that some
of the farmers Of Kansas have started a
subscription for the benefit of Mr.. Letter.
the speculator in wheat, out OF gratitude
Tor his services in raising the price of
that commodity. But the Chronicle con-
tends that the Letter operations have
been detrimental TO the farmers. In sup
port of this contention it adduces the
fact that contracts for September wheat
are at about 20 cents In New York and
60 cents in Chicago, as compared with
Chicago year ago. This decline in
price the Chronicle attributes mainly, IL
not wholly, 10 the Letter speculation.
Admitting that the crops Of Europe, as
Wen as this country, are larger than
last year. and that the present prices
are nearly the same as those prevalent
IN the years preceding the last. our con-
temporary emphasizes the Importance of
the situation as TO visible and reserved
stocks. The price OF wheat. IL says. is
determined by two factors. the size Of
the new crops ana the extent OF the old
supplies. At present, the Chronicle es-
inmates. there are practically no old sum
plies. The stocks In this country ara
almost exhausted and IN the world M
large they are probably 100000 bushels
less than in 1891, 100000 less than In
1886. and 100000 less than in 1896. The
demand for replenishing the exhausted
granaries ought 10 carry up the price OF
wheat, but the price 10 the same as in

sAGAsTAs ALLEGED TALK.

| Several OF our contemporaries are
| warning the administration against re-
aucing our military force and putting
some Of our naval vessels out of COM
mission. because something might hap
pen at the last moment to'prevent peace"
or course. something might happen
to prevent peace. In fact. the sky might
fan. But either of these calamlties is
very remote.
Our cautious friends base their warn
ing on certain outgivings attributed TO
Sagasta, to the effect that special issues
will be injected into the terms OF peace.
But we see no reason for the peoples be-
ing disturbed even II Sagasta has been
correctly quoted. The position Of the
Spanish Prime Minister is not an en-
viable one. Although his action In suing
for peace was received throughout the
Peninsula with surprising calmness-hot
to say with indlfference-the danger OF
tia producing internal trouble Is not en-
tirely oyerpassed. With people of the
mercurial and excitable temperament OF
the Spaniards, an upheaval is likely to
occur when least expected.
Sagasta, as we understand 1t. Is still
devoting himself TO the work Of harmon
izing all element in Spain. None can
know better than he that we will not per-
nit any departure from the princi-
pies Of the protocol Therefore. any such
talk as he is reported to have INDUCED In
NAV be set down as for home consump-
ton, and as in the nature of an effort
to make assurance Of the safety of the
dynasty double sure and bring the masses
to a realization of the inevitable by easy

iSss. The inference is, that tho pur-
chasing power OF consumers has been I'M
paired by the high prices they were1orced
20 pay last year. The Chronicle con-
cludes further. that, except for the
Letter speculations. prices would now
certainly be ranging Is to 20 cents
bushel above the current level of values,
and might not unlikely be ruling at
higher point than any touched. except
when Letter was engineering his Cor
ner."

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, August 81
(Special.)-The large detail sent to Phoebus
last night at IL O'Clock by Colonel Lane
had the effect Of speedily restoring order
Occasionally a few shots were fired on
the streets, scattering the citizens ana
causing some alarm, but there was 10
outbreak after the skirmish at the jail
and the subsequent meeting Of the vol
unteers with negroes at Chisman's corner.
Sheriff Curtis remained in the town with
his men until he felt sure that there
would be no further disturbance. There
were but two or three casualties. A
soldier was shot In the foot In the en-
gagement at the jail, but no one else was
injured there. The man named Black
who was said to have been shot, received
a scratch on the breast, but DR.. Turner
says 1t was not caused by a bullet The
negro, Charlie Smith, who was wounded
at Chisman's saloon, has a bullet in his
thigh, but the wound is not regarded as
being dangerous
The four soldiers whose Incarceration
caused the riot at the jail were given a
hearing before Justice Furness this
morning. upon the charge OF drunken
ness Each was fined 81, and in default
OF payment was sent 10 TINS CITY ana
locked up. Colonel Lane positively de-
cined to interfere In their behalf, saying
that as they had been arrested for vio-
lating the civil law the county authorl-
ties would have 10 deal with them.
John Nolan, Of Washington. ID. c., a
sub-contractor on the new hospital on
Mill Creek. has been missing since Sun
day, and fears that he has been the VIC
tim OF foul play are entertained. Mr..
Nolan is a man of excellent habits.
News was received from Washington
this morning that he has not been there.
He was last seen Sunday afternoon at
the Hygeia Hotel. His absence from his
work is a mystery and his friends are
greatly worried.

Attention is called TO the fact that the
method in vogue of advancing naval Off
GERS so many numbers for meritorious
conduct sometimes operates in "A way
that is ridiculous. For example, after the
battle Of Manila Captain Wildes was re-
warded for gallant service by being pro-
NOTED five numbers, remaining thereupon
No 10 on the list of captains But after
the battle Of Santiago Captain Taylor, of
the Indiana, Jumped" Captain Wildes
whose reward conferred by the President
and approved by the Senate, was thus re-
duced TO four numbers. Other captains in
Admiral Dewey's fleet suffered in the
same way, while many gallant and we'll
equipped officers, who applied for sea
duty but were unable to secure it, were
made to suffer doubly-frst, by being de-
MED opportunity TO earn promotion for
themselves and, second, by being de-
graded that others might be rewarded.
The New York Journal says that the
effect of the method is really to extract
the reward, given nominally by the Presi-
dent and Senate, from the pockets of
navy officers, who have only been denied
opportunities TO win laurels for them
selves. Certainly the method would seem
to work somewhat that way. and to call
for some change.

JOSIAH J. NuNN.

Among the most promising new en- terprises may be named the undertaking establishment recently opened by MT. Josiah J. Nunn, graduate of Clark's school of embalming and a man thor oughly acquainted with all branches of his profession. MT. Mum has re- sided in Phoenix for the past two years and has been up to a short time ago interested in the Phoenix Under taking company, where he took per- sonal charge of most of the embalming. Miss Duckworth, who is experienced in all the branches of the profession, will be constantly in attendance to take charge of all the cases of ladies and children. Mir. Nunn's parlors are To- cated at the corner of Second avenue and Washington street (to be known as the star corner), where he has fit ted up his rooms with great care for the convenience of his patrons. They consist of a reception room, show room, embalming room, room for en- balming caskets and chapel. The chapel especially deserves more than passing mention, as it is fitted with separate entrance to avoid any possi- ble interruption.

THE VALLEY BANK.

Among the banks of Phoenix the Valley bank is one of the most sub stantial. It is one of the largest in the county, having a fully paid up capital of $100,00O. It is a home in stitution and transacts general bank ing business, such as selling exchange, collecting, receiving deposits, keeping accounts subject to check, and issues letters of credit and draws direct on great many correspondents in all the principal cities of the world. The of ficers are: William Christy, presi- dent; M. H. Sherman, vice-president, and M. w. Messinger, cashier. The directors are F. c. Hatch, E. J. Ben nitt, w. D. Fulwiler and W. J. Mur- phy. They have accommodated the city with financial aid often and feel a great interest in the advancement of the city. If private worth, the pcs session of public esteem and unusual success and prominence in industrial enterprises be guarantees of able management, answering integrity and enlightened policy, this bank ce: :tainly represents these qualifications in the personnel of it's officials and custo- dians.
