The Wheat Situation.

From present indications the wheat
crop of 1898, in the United States, is a
decidedly uncertain factor, notwith-
standing the high estimates primarily
evolved by the statisticians. The price
of the cereal after Sept. will neces-
sarily be mainly governed by the out
lcok regarding the worlds supply, and
it must be conceded that the conditions
for large crop are much better every
where than at the same period a year
ago. On July %, 1897, July wheat was
selling at rs cents, and September at
1875 cents in Chicago. Yesterday the
prices were 711a cents and 653s cents.
respectively. Unless great disappoint-
ment is experienced in harvesting ard
threshing in the Northwest, it Is fair
to assume that a large crop will be
gathered; and with expectations as to
the output Of the worlds crop realized,
er figures of last year, but will in part
make up for the deficiency in the in
crease Of volume.
We exported during the last fiscal
year 215,G00,0 900 bushels of wheat. 1t is
estimated that upon a normal basis
335, 000 COO bushels were consumed at
home, and that 65,000,000 bushels were
returned to the soil for seed. This
provides a total of 615, 100000 bushels.
The argument is advanced that 25,OOO,-
900 bushels represent a curtailment in
the consumption owing to the use of
corn as substitute. On this basis the

OF Leah, the Forsaken." She gave mag
nifcent Interpretation of the powerful char
acter last night at the Grand, proving con-
clusively that she is her best in the most in
tensely emotional parts. The character Of
the deserted daughter Of despised race,
proud in her very debasement, gives her
great scope for the powers which she pos
sesses In the depletion Of the passions. In
the curse scene in the fourth act of the play
she attained the very height of artistic sue
cess. Her reading of the noble lines was
powerful beyond description, and the state
ment that has been made of her before, that
she will presently be one of the greatest Of
our stage women, Is very nearly realized In
her Leah.

Republican Prosperity.

From the Helena Independent

by the Northern Pacific Railway COMPANY
to the scale in existence prior to the reduc-
ton In 1894, the Ravalli Republican saws:
The reduction Of 1894 came shortly after
Democratic legislation had paralyzed business
all over the country. and the article above
mentioning the present good condition Of the

The argument of the residents of the TlJ-
nots village that was struck by a cyclone
Immediately following the compietionS of the

and reasonable. The funnei-shaped cloud had
never before visited that backwoods Commune
1ty, and as Its coming was simultaneous with
the iron horse. it was the almost united opin-
ion Of the town that railroads breed cyclones
and are not to be desired. The Republican
party happened to be in power when kind
providence favored the United States with the
most bountiful crops ever known, while a to-

MINNESOTA ENTERTAINERS.
They Con Exhibit Til cir Prodnct at the
Omaha Exposition.

To The St. Paul Globe:
My attention was just called to an article in
your Monday Issue, headed, Cannot Exhibit
Butter" Minnesota Producers Cannot Com
pete at Omaha
I wish to say to those interested in dairy
ing in Minnesota that Minnesota can COM
pete at Omaha, and to those who will
read carefully and heed the instructions that
will be mailed the buttermakers in a few
days, that Minnesota can and will have
better display of dairy product than any other
state.
The time limit will be extended by the
Omaha management, which will enable the
buttermaker to prepare his xhbit more care
fully and allow him better opportunities to
have his exhibit reach the cold storage in St.
Paul, thence to be forwarded to Omaha by re-
frigeratoT.
It is true that Minnesota has no regular
Western refrigerator service, but In that re-
spect other states east Of Omaha have no
much the best refrigerator for their exhibits
l wish also to say that Minnesota did are
a July scoring of butter, and the exhibit scor-
ing highest was manufactured by H. j. Ros-
enau, of Meriden, his test being 961a.
Minnesota was second In number Of pack
ages of butter, Kansas having the lead. The
Minnesota commission thought. in fairness to
next four exhibits, the July exhibit not to
count in the contest for premiums and so
pettioned the Omaha management, and we
have assurances that their prayer will be
answered satisfactorily to the buttermakerS of
the Northwest.
TIE conditions for making successful dairy
exhibit at Omaha have been peculiar and
the buttermakers the Minnesota commission
feel that the state will stand where she right
fully belongs, in the lead.

A "Busted" Corner.

A New York dispatch says that the
combination of transatlantic steam
ship companies, whose joint bid for
transporting the Spanish soldiers sur
rendered at Santiago was refused, will
apply to the courts for an Injunction
restraining the war department from
entering into contract with the sue
cessful bidder This was the Compania
Transatlantica, Spanish company, Or
ganized and its ships operating under
the laws of Spain, and, as the property
of alien enemies, subject to capture by
our war vessels. The grounds upon
which this injunction is asked are sew
eral; the 1nvalidity of contract with
subjects Of a nation with which we
are at war; that it breaks the block
ade, and that, as, under the laws under
which this company was organized
half Of it's profits go to the enemy's
war fund, the government thereby
gives aid and comfort to the enemy.
Other accounts Of the bidding state
that, prior to the date for closing Of
ferings, representatives Of the prin-
cipal lines of transatlantic steamers
met and canvassed the situation. Be-
SIDES themselves, excepting this Com
pania Transatlantica, which seemed to
be out Of the running, there were no
competitors with sufficient carrying ca
pacity to undertake the enterprise

A Congressional Inquiry.

If the authorities at Washington have
done anything relative to the exposure
of the criminal negligence that allowed
the Seneca to be sent from Siboney
with her precious cargo of sick and
wounded men packed in, as Miss Jen-
nings, the heroic Red Cross nurse says,
in cattle pens below deck" no signs
of it have appeared on the surface. If
any officer responsible for it has been
called to account, no publicity has been
given to that fact. The blame lies pri-
inarily on the war department, next On
the medical department and lastly Oh
some incompetent at Santiago. There
is ample ground for charges and speci-
ficatiCns that would send one or more
officers out of the service in everlasting
Disgrace. Who is he, or are they? Who
is chargeable with the crime of send
ing several hundred sick and wounded
officers and soldiers on that long jour
ney without pure water, without ice
for the fevered sick, without bedding,
without fit food. without surgical i'm
plements and without nurses?
Nothing that has occurred yet indi-
Gates that the war department, with it's
incompetent head, will take any cog
ni2ance Of this crime. In fact, that
head has already published his letter to
my dear Dodge" in which he says
that those who complain are "stay- at
home GROWERS" He intimates that
this kind of hardships are needed to
make seasoned soldiers of the men. He

If the ante-bellum jingoists had not painted

distribution Of wheat during the last
crop year was 500, OO0,O 900 bushels. Now
it is believed that the surplus last year
was unusually small: but the entire
clop having been set down as approx
mately 5SO,0OO,OO0. the surplus must
have been larger than supposed. mas
much as there appear 60,000,000 bush
els as the difference between the esti-
mated yield and the distribution in
every way.
The above summary shows the linn
tied value of estimates. The export
volume is determined by the accounts.
The consumption is figured upon per
capita absorption of AS bushels, or a
little less, perhaps. The seed wheat is
measured by the reported acreage. AS
Stunning that these three elements of
distribution are approximately correct,
it must be apparent that the total
yield last year was nearer 900, 900, 900
than 530,000,000 bushels. If the same
degree of accuracy prevails this sea-
son, it would not be surprising, with
the increased acreage and superior
growing conditions. if the yield of 1898
would closely approach 100000, 900 BUSH
els, the figures which some experts
name, rather than 603.000,000. which
was the latest government estimate. 1t
is quite likely. however, that the sum
OF disappointment, due to various
causes, will bring the total yield to
some mean figure between the 600 000,-
0CO and 700,000,000 estimates. In this
view there does not appear to be any
possibility Of an immediate rise in the
market value of wheat, though much
will depend in this connection upon the
promptness with which it is offered at
the elevators, supplemented by the con-
dition of the worlds crop, to be later

$l6,00O,00O which had to be settled with
gold payments. Local papers tell how
the transfer was made. The weight of
the money was nearly thirty tons. 1t

$2,5O0,00O, each weighing about five
tons. drawn by a single span of horses,

is hopeless to expect that the semi-offi-
cial statement from Washington that
the German ambassador, Won Hohle-
ben, has carried a personal message
from his emperor to the president, as
surfing him Of the baselessness of the
reports Of his interference in the Phil

the public next week of another fab

of hostility in the tone Of the Agrarian

ground to stand upon, but no well in

II will only add that expect this craze to
pass over as other crazes have passed before
when the searchlights of public discussion
were turned upon them. 1t is said that the
Republicans are likely to make the expansion

their triumph upon the warcry and upon the
unpopularity of the Democratic silver policy
with the conservative citizens of the country
This may prove miscalculation. 1 have
seen several very earnest sound-money men
who reason thus: "A victory of the silver
party would be great calamity, but
calamity which in the course of time may be
repaired The annexation of the Spanish
colonies would be in Its consequences a great
er calamity which would never be repaired
AS between the two, we would rather take
our chances with the silver party"
