whent-Cornering Results Abroad.

Consul Halstead, of Birmingham, Eng
land, has written letter to the State De-
partment. in which he reports that many
persons in England believe that to those
engaged in wheat cornering operations il
the United States we owe the competitive
opening up of vast areas of wheat land in
Russia, India, South America, and Egypt
The present corner in copper, which has
caused prices to go nearly sky high" he
says, may result in injury to the copper
mining interests in America parallel to the
loss caused this country by the corners in
wheat. Mr.. Halstead quotes a long article
from Engineering to support his theory.

The Gold of .raIiadeca

Editor Williams of the Talladega Noun. tain Home has visions of an Alabama Klondke:
 There has recently been some talk of a company being organized to operate a gold mine near Rendalia. This mine was worked to limited extent. the Home is informed, under the old method of pick, pan and washer, sixty years ago. by Mica. iah Lyle, an early pioneer of Talladega county. His operations were confined to placer mining. Now it is claimed that cent Investigations on the property disclose rich mining ores, which are to be worked with all the modern appliances of success full gold mining. The native gold of Talla- dega is the finest known, being about abso- 1utey pure. It is only a question of quan- tity, which thorough exploration alone can decide

DREYFUs AND THE PARIS FAIR

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
 But Frances anticipati tion of big profit from the big fair will be disappointed if the bitterness engendered by the Dreyfus scandal sets the people to cutting each others throat. Visitors will not go to the exposition if the country is in a state of revolution. The people should insist upon the Dreyfus case being settled now and being settled right. Justice must pre- vail or there will be no peace. The inno- cent must be acquitted or retribution will exact a fearful penalty from country that tramples upon an innocent victim to satisfy the malignity of band of forgers and perjurers The conviction of Drey- fus will endanger the success of the great expedition, because such conviction will keep the case open as an unhealed wound. The efforts in his behalf will not cease if he is re-condemned by a prejudced court, but will be redoubled

Fever in New Orleans.

Another case of yellow fever has appear ed in New Orleans, and the unwelcome truth may as well be accepted first as last that the disease is as indigenous in New Orleans as 1t is in Vera Cruz or Havana. It may not become epidemic this year, probably it will not, but there will be cases now and then in that city until frosts come. This does not necessarily involve an extension of the trouble to other towns but great care will be needed in that gard if the disease is to be kept penned up in New Orleans.
 It seems almost incredible that an American city containing a quarter of a million of people has gone unsewered to tury. It Is, however, fact. The sum of sli 00O, GOO has been voted for the purpose of bulding in New Orleans a system of sew CTS that should have been built fifty years ago. This great sewerage system, togeth- CT with its almost innumerable house con- nections, which must of course be com pusory, cannot be established in a single year, but a great deal will doubtless be accomplished before hot weather comes again. New Orleans and Havana will both in time be rendered fever proof, but neith- CT is so now, and perhaps neither will be so next year. All now know that sanita- tion of the soundest sort is the true weap- on to fight the fever with--the only eff cient one in fact. Sanitation has driven the disease from the Atlantic coast. and the sanitary engineers stand ready to make equally immune wherever the people are ready to furnish the money and call for aheir services.

------------------- THE ASYOR HOLDINGS


N Y Letter in tho Chicago Tribune.
 When Henry Morgenthau, president of the Central Realty Bond Exchange and Trust company, arrives in Europe real es- tate men here expect to get information as to the exact status of the William Waldorf Astor holdings. MT. Morgenthau said pub liciy before he sailed on the Etruria last Saturday that he went to bring his family home from a vacation in Germany. It now transpires that he went at the direct re- quest of Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the sugar trust; James N. Jarvie of the Arbuckle coffee trust, John D. Crimmins Hugh J. Grant and other capitalists who are clients of MT. Morgenthau's company.
 MT. Morgenthau's object is at once and forever to dispose of the Astor realty ru- mors. If MT. Astor desires to sell or will consent to incorporate his holdings into a stock company, capitalized at from $l50,- 100000 to s9OO,0OO 900, the Central Realty Bond Exchange and Trust company is pre- pared to make him proposition more fa- vorable than he could receive from any other quarter If MT. Astor is willing to dispose of his real estate on any reasonable basis MT. Morgenthau will return on De- tober 2 with the W. W. Astor holdings in his pocket.
 The handling of large estates on the cap- ital stock idea has recently become popu- lar in England. Capitalists represented by MT. Morgenthau believe the Astor holdings might be capitalized at 10 per cent or more above their present market value That would give MT. Astor personal possession of shares equal in cash to the sum he might realize on an immediate sale The other half of the capital stock, representing good will. dominant position, and further en- hancement, would be held for the operating syndicate by the Morgenthau company.
 Real estate men believe the plan includes gradual accumulation of other important parcels that would give the syndicate com piete control of Greater New York values and rentals.

sHAMROcK's SAILING QUALITIES

From the Chicago Tribune.
 It is still too early to make definite com- parisons of the all-around sailing qualities of Shamrock and Columbia, but the two trial spins of the challenger seem to show some weakness in sailing before the wind. This is not Columbia's strongest suit, eith- CT, for the American yachts largest gains over Defender were made in tackng against a head wind But Shamrock is clearly a heavier craft than Columbia, and il shows a tendency to throw up a good deal of water and let the seas bre lll over it's bows. This will be against it, es- pecially in a moderate and favoring wind, such as will send Columbia skimming swiftly over the smooth While heavy weather at the time of the race may pos sibly be to the advantage of Shamrock, everything thus far indicates that CoIum- bia will have the best of it if the usual light winds prevail

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
Southern Cattle Going West.

The Savannah News calls attention to the fact that the cattle supply of Georgia and Alabama is still drawn upon from week to week in order to fill up the stock farms and ranches in the west. These ranch men prefer young heifers, thus showing that stock is wanted for breeding purposes. The southern cattle thus purchased are crossed with bulls of superior breed. and good quality of cattle is soon produced. Beef is now so high that there is money in the transaction, and cattle will doubt less be shipped from both Alabama and Georgia until the supply in the two states is reduced to minimum.
 The Age-Herald has several times ob- jected to the transfer of southern cattle to western farms, to be returned later though the beef trust, which is doubtless promoting the entire operation. The far mers of Georgia and Alabama possess in cottonseed meal and hulls the best and cheapest fattening material in this world. Why then should not the process be carried on here in the south at least to the extent 10 supplying the home mraket? Cattle can be improved as readily on southern farms as they can be on the western farms, and when cotton is selling at unremunerative, or at least unsatisfactory, prices 1t is diff ent to understand why more attention is not given in this section to thep reduction of beef cattle. Leaving out of the aueS- ton increased possibilities of enriehing the land, there is money today in raising and fattening cattle. Beef cattle are growing relatively scarcer every year, and there is no branch of farming that offers better or more enduring inducements than does the breeding of cattle available for beef.
 The Age-Herald appeals to the farmers of Alabama to hold their cattle, especially their young heifers. Let them start out with view to supplying the home mar Rets. The beef trust cannot render value less beef cattle any more than cotton trust could take away the value of a bale of cotton. The industry is one that means much to the state. It is one that can be made to supplement cotton crop. It is one that can make the seeds and huls of a cotton crop doubly valuable at least.

force will sail October 10, and the last on November %. These regiments will arrive in Manila by or before January 1.
 Besides the twenty regiments the govern ment has despatched 2o3 officers and 4,71o enlisted men. These men are sent to fill up regiments of the regular army in the field. By January 1 General Otis will com- nand an army at least 5O,OOO strong, pos sibly GO.OOO. The TAirty-third regulars have just been ordered to the Philippines. and many orders and preparations point to the accumulation at Manila of as many men as can be landed there by the government.
 This is a desperate effort on the part of the administration not only to crush the Tagals, but also to complete the task in time to ward off the dangers that hang over Mir Hanna's new campaign. MT. Hanna declared in London that the busi- ness should be speedily brought to finish, and men are being hurried to San Fran cisco with that object in view. The mii- tary end of the movement rests in Manila and its political end in MT. Hanuas won derful personality. coarse-fibered as he is.

THE NEW WALK

From the Philadelphia Times.
 From Paris comes news that the thew walk there does not entail a swinging of the hips and long loping steps, like those affected by the girls who follow in Mrs. Carter's cratic footsteps. The new Paris ian walk is designed ito display to the ut- most the beauty of the clinging tunic and fower-like skirt. The gait is easy to imI- tate, but much easier to exaggerate. One must walk slowly, take extremely short steps, and spring well on the ball of the foot.-1
 The models who display the new gowns at the dressmakers nave exaggerated this gait in the most ludcrous fashion. As they come toward one they appear to be doing a curious dance, and one is reminded of certain high-stepping horses that take an hour to get around the park The truth is that one cannot hurry in the new skirt, and, cut long, it is impossible for the street.

From the Chicago Tribune.

T IOul lie ODlcdSO ITlDuDe.
 History has again repeated itself. Tho Kearsarge has proven victorious over the Alabama The Alabama is not the Confed- crates Brtish-built privateer that went down in the bloody fight off Cherbourg in June, 1864, nor is the Kearsarse the same gallant Federal warship that ended the ca reer of that commerce destroyer But by a strange coincidence the two modern first class battleships bearing these names in the new American navy have held their first speed tests within less than a week of each other The Alabama showed a maximum speed of 17.O2 knots, and the Kearsarge has slightly exceeded it with speed of l7.G3 knots. This time the victor and vanquish- ed alike have the good will of the whole nation, and there will be no Alabama claims to threaten international complica- tions for decade afterward. As the con tracts for both the Alabama and the Rear sarge call for a speed of only Is knots un- der forced draft the nation has reason to be pleased with the achievements of both.

Don't You Talk
| Journal,

Editor Graham, of the Selma Journal. just makes mans mouth water:'
 Perhaps of the many enjoyable barbe- cues that have been given this season, none have been more palatable than the small cue given yesterday a Leachs grove by a few lovers of the mutton and shoat done to brown" The wives of the men were i'm yited this time and the universal verdict was that they will never again wonder why their husbands want to go to barbe- cues. The menu consisted of Brunswick stew, barbecued brains, barbecued mutt ton and pork, toma toes, cueumbers, onions, bell-peppers and pickles, all in an abun- dance.
