Canada.s wheat crop.

Toronto. Ont, Oct. 2.-The final crop
estimates show Canada viii have an
apparent surplus of 5o,00o09o bushels
OF wheat for export, as against 30,000.-
600 last year. But the actual surplus
for export Will be larger. Manitoba s
crop, as estimated by Premier Green
way, is 6o,oOo,o0O bushels; last year ii
was 3O0o0,00o This season from so to
% per cent of the crop will grade No.
hard; last year less than 40 per cent
graded No. hard, and as much of the
crop was damp or tough wheat and un-
fit for making flour unless dried and
mixed with sound wheat. less than half
was fit for export. The wheat crop IN
Ontario this year is 21,o00,000 bushels,
against 320oo,00O last year There is
an increase in the goose wheat crop of
over / O00, 900 bushels. There is a large
demand for wheat to ship to France
and Italy for making macarroni. Many
farmers who formerly cultivated bar
ley for export TO the United States
have. since that trade has fallen off,
taken to raising goose wheat. which
now sells at premium to cents over
winter wheat.

RUSSIA LOSING INFLUENCE.
Japan Rapidly Acquiring Upper
Hand In the Orient.

London, Oct. AT all the European
capitals the liveliest interest is taken
in the conflict between Russian, Eng
lish and German Influences in Constan-
tinople in the matter of the rival rail-
way schemes for connecting the Med.-
terranean with the Persian Gulf.
The most significant feature OF this
rivalry is the recently altered attitude
of the French government, and the
marked progress made of late by the
French ambassador to Turkey, NJ. Con-
stans. in the good graces of the sultan.
Russia is at last Thoroughly alarmed
by the English and German efforts and
the change of tone on the part of her
great ally is believed to be prompted
from st. Petersburg.
Toward Turkey the Russian organ
adopts a tone strikingly like that used
by official Russia in dealing with China
Protests like these show that the real
ization of one of the competing railway
schemes is looked on as not far off.
For the moment Russia is seriously
Handicapped in the race to the Persian
Gulf. The desired extension of the
Transcaspian railway must be post
poned for a long time owing to financial
and technical difficulties.
As between the German and English
schemes for extending the .Antolian
railway system to Bagdad and eventu-
ally to the Persian Gulf, the Turkish
authorities seem to favor the English.
Moreover, just now the sultan is cred-
tied with a strong desire to do some-
thing to regain English good will. The
German project, IL carried through
would mean the complete absorption of
all the railways in Asiatic Turkey by
a German syndicate.
Austria regards the German aspira-
tions in that quarter with quite as
much jealousy as Russia. She now sup
plies three-fourths of the sugar ex-
ported to the near east and has no
time to lose in preparing to meet Ger
man competition in the Levant.
There are immense commercial and
valley and the atmosphere of that re-
gion is laden with electricity.
One of the ablest journalists of the
liberal party in England, Sir Wemyss
Reid, resigns the management of the
Speaker. In saying farewell he more
than hints at the intensely bitter per-
sonal rivalries that are demoralizing
the liberal organization and bringing
the party in parliament into state of
helplessness that is almost contempt
ible.
Sir Wemyss is identified with the
Rosebery faction in the Rcsebery- Har-
court leadership controversy. He does
not lay down his editorial pen without
predicting the coming of day when
the inner history of the liberal party
will be proclaimed in tones that will
Justify the men who had the manli-
ness to bear unjust accusations in
silence, and the magnanimity to re-
frain from reprisals which would have
injured the common cause"

MCKINLEY Asked to Intervene.

New York, Oct. 3.@Charles d. Pierce.
consul general of the Orange Free
State. today received a cablegram rela-
tive to affairs in the Transvaal. Pierce
said it was of such a nature he could
not make it public. but he was at lib
erty to say that the president of the
Orange Free State had made an inef-
fectual effort to induce Mckinley TO re-
quest other powerful nations to act
with the United States as arbitrators
between England and the Transvaal
Pierce said the warm, close relations
between Great Britain and the United
States prevented Mckinley wing in
so momentous matter.

Transvaal.
South African Republic Shows No
Disposition to Yield and Con.

Remarkable Lack Of News From
South Africa Indicates Inter.
ruption Of Communication.

London, Oct. 2.-Consols opened at
11.16 and later dropped 4-16 more, due
to the monetary position. On the stock
exchange business was almost at a
standstill.
London, Oct. 2.-The fall in consols
is partly due to rumors Of an imminent
issue of s25,ooO,OOO in consols. The war
office officials decline to confirm or
deny the report.
London, Oct 2.-The announced in-
tention of the cabinet to meet tomor-
row apparently has been reconsidered.
1t is now said the meeting depends
largely on developments in the Trans
vaal. The remarkable absence of news
from South Africa this morning leads
to a belief that there has been wide
spread cutting of telegraph wires or an
extra censorship established. There is
no Transvaal news yet today, so there
is nothing to soften the extreme belli-
coseness of yesterdays dispatches. Had
the Beers not determined to fight or if
they were unprepared for hostilities,
they would, it is thought have sent
some temporzing reply to Britain's
dispatch. All the hanging back seems to
be on Britains side, where, in spite of
newspaper and war office talk of mob
ilization of army corps, the work, ap-
parently, is proceeding in a curiously
leisurely manner. The departure of
Gen. Sir Redvers Butler is postponed
from week to week, and when the mem
bers of the cabinet talk in public their
assurance of Britain's good will to-
wards the Transvaal is regarded as al
most smacking of pathetic appeals for
peace 1t now appears that the alleged
calling out of the first-clasS army re
serve was a hoax. Circulars were is
sued on official paper and many mem
bers of the reserve presented them
selves at the barracks only to find the
order forgery. The police have the
matter in hand.
| An advertisement appeared this
morning announcing the formation of a
corps of gentlemen rough riders, pat
termed after Roosevelt's rough riders,
for service in South Africa. Advices
hers assembled at Albertine, Orange
Free State, with the object of proceed

Military in control.

Pretoria, Oct 2.-The entire railway
system of the South African Republic
has passed under the control of the
military authorities. This system, cen
tering in johannesburg, admits of set
ting down troops within 100 miles of the
Bechuanaland border on the west; the
Natal branch, the southern terminus
of which is Durham, on the coast,
passes the border at Laings Mex; the
eastern division reaches the Portuguese
border a little northwest of Lorenzo
Marques, and reaches the coast at
Delagoa bay. while the southwestern
branch passes through the length of the
Orange Free State and crosses the Cape
Colony frontier at two points on the
Orange river.

THE cup RACE.
Columbia and Shamrock VIII Star,
First Race Tomorrow.

New York. Oct. 2.-Beginning Tues
day morning at II o'clock and continu-
ing Thursday and Saturday of this
week and Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urday Of next week, if so many trials
shall be necessary, a series of races will
be sailed between the British sIoop
sloop yacht Columbia for the Yachting
championship of the world. the emblem
of which is the old silver cup, weighing
100 ounces, Won by the famous schooner
yacht America in 1851.
That this will be the most notable Sc
ries of races in the history of the old
cup is apparent. In the first place, the
two yachts are known to be far and
away the best that have ever competed
for the trophy. That is to say, the
Shamrock is conceded to be the swift
est yacht ever produced by British de-
signers. as the Columbia is the swiftest
yet built from American ideas.
Another important point of interest is
found in the mechanical construction of
the two yachts. The Shamrock was
built in the yard of the Thornycrofts,
the most famous builders of torpedo
boats, and the Columbia came from the
Herreshofr yard the home of the Amer
lean torpedo boat. 1t is to be test
not only of yacht designs. but of yacht
construction.
And then there is the fact that this is
the latest of long series of efforts of
the British experts to wrest the cup
from American shipbuilders. 1t is Sc
ries. too, that follows one wherein bad
bI00d was found and that fart ic rorth
mentioning, because it affords such a
strong contrast to the hearty good will
and cheerful optimism that prevail on
both sides in the present contest, fierce
as the struggle for the cup will be.
