NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Mayor Van Wyck
to-day consented to allow Chicago to pre-
sent to Admiral Dewey, while he is in the
city, an invitation to visit the Western
city. Those in charge of the Dewey cele-
bration Ia been most pointed in their
replies to representatives of other cities
who desired to greet Admiral Dewey here
and invite him to become their guest.
Chicago was informed that no such pro-
ceeding would be allowed. So was Gin
cinnati and a half dozen other places. All
were notified that New York would require
all of the admiral's time while he is here
and that no outside interference would be
tolerated. Despite this obstacle Mayor
Carter Harrison. of Chicago. was authorized
to appoint a committee of $50 citizens to
como to New York and invite the
admiral to Chicago. Mr.. Brainerd,
acting for Mayor Harrison. went to the City
Hall to-day and handed to Mayor Van Wyck
q letter from Mayor Harrison. He explained
the object of the Chicago delegation's visit
and Mayor Van wyck promised to arrange
for a meeting with the admiral on Sunday
at the Waldorf-Astoria. AT that time, Mr..
Brainers said. Mayor Harrison would invite
Admiral Dewey to Chicago. to be the guest
of the city.

His visit to Moab and Edom was q very
short one, amounting almost to a scamper
through the two districts. but he was able
to realize the formation OF the country. II
was due 10 the fracture Of the earth's
crust which formed the Jordan valley. In
the lowest part they had sandstone, and
on that a very high limestone plateau
overlooking the Dead sea- Then they had
a great tract of country running east that
was like the downs of the south of England
or the woods of Yorkshire, and he believed
that this country was Of the richest possible
description. 1t was cut up by deep ravines,
which. in the higher part, were rich val
legs, and then suddenly dropped down TO
rocky defiles, like the canyons of America
He had been very much struck by the
way in which the physical conditions OF the
country agreed with the descriptions in the
Bible. He was unprepared TO lind a plateau
over five thousand feet high. In the south
of Edom there was the most dreadful
desert that he had ever travelled over. For
two days Ii was as fiat as a table, and
covered with loose black flints, and the eff

There was a very curious fight going on IN
Palestine between Russia, as representing
the Russian branch of the Greek Church
and the Greek Church itself. This Russians
a started a great number or schools
where Russian was taught, and their OBJ
ject was to create a national church in Pal.
estine. The Greek Orthodox Church resisted
this very strongly and one of the incidents
of the game now being played was the
hosting by the Greeks last Easter of the
Turkish flag on the campanile of the Church
of the Holy Sepulcher. That was the first
time in history when the Turkish flag had
been hoisted on any building connected with
the church in Turkey.

Rosa Bonheur's Estate.

PARIS. Sept. 26.-An extraordinary condi
ton obtains in the house at Fontainebleu of
the late Rosa Bonheur. AN the rooms, save
two only, are locked and protected by seals.
The two rooms not sealed are occupied by
the former companion of the artist, a
woman from America. who had held her
position for not more than two years.
notwithstanding the short time that she
had known this woman, Rosa Bonheur, in a
will executed two weeks before her death,
bequeathed to her the entire fortune she
had gathered, comprising lands and houses,
bonds, pictures, medals and bibelots.
Bonheur was a thrifty woman, and her
estate being valued at several millions of
francs, make 1t one of the largest for
tunes ever gained by a woman from the
products of her own work.
The kinsfOlk of the artist have decided to
contest the will and, in accordance with
their petition, the property has been placed
under seal. save the two rooms that are
occupied by the legatee.

ON One Ranch In
Kansas City Star.
Oklahoma's largest wheat field lies a few
miles west of the small railway station or
Bliss, in Kay county. 1t contains five thou
sand acres and belongs to the noted Ranch
"101," which controls fifteen thousand acres
of land leased from the Ponca Indians. Two
hundred men, more than three hundred
mules and horses and t~wenty-four big twine
binders were employed in cutting and
shocking the grain grown on this magnih,
last Saturday, with an army Of laborers
working night and day for ten days, that
the last acre was harvested.
Every principle of good farming was OBJ
served in cultivating this big field, with the
result that the total output will not be less
than 100 600 bushels of as good wheat as
that the average acre yield will be from
twenty to twenty-five bushels. There are
many acres that will run from forty to
fifty bushels. Buyers have already offered

To ride over it, however, in blazing sun
shine is to give rise to the feeling that 1t
covers the face of the earth. The five thou
sand acres of wheat on Ranch "101" are d.
vided into two fields of almost equal size
by the Salt Pork river, a stream that pours
down a large volume of water at this time
Of year. Great yellow fluctuations of grain
swept alongside the river and then away
toward the distant hills, until they seemed
to reach the sky. 1t was so far across the
fields that the shocks look like a solid wall
of wheat. In the field on the south side OF
the river the first circuit with a binder was
made by superintendent Miller.
