A. to wheat Estimates.

"If the government estimates were con-
sldered reliable, one based on entirely I'M
known acreage of wheat and cotton would
be everywhere resented. Thus, with Of
fetal returns pointing 10 a great decrease
in winter wheat production, the price
dropped 1 cent. and cotton declined for
options, though retaining the advance OF
a sixteenth for spot, which was establish
ed before the government report appeared.
Nobody can base sensible estimate on a
statement of a condition which takes ac-
count of the acreage of the winter wheat
killed and abandoned. The best that can
be said is that worse returns were ex-
pected In both markets, so that the gov
eminent report had practically no infiu-
ence.

the United states, against 246 last year,

other room Is the receiver, which is n
most ingenious device. The number OF
sending machines must correspond with
the NUN Der OF messages to be sent, but
each receiver takes four messages at the
same time. The method of separating
the currents and recording each message
without any interruption from the others
coming over the wire at the same time
Is the mysterious part OF the invention,
which Prof. Rowland does not care at
present to reveal. Anyone able to opsr-

can send u message, and the only atten-
ton the receiver needs Is TO keep 1t sup

GEN, RIOS PLAYED FALSE.
Spanfards to Blame for the Trouble In
Ilotlo.

Washington, January 3.-General Otis
commanding at Manila, has cabled the
war department that in his opinion Gen
eral Miller has the situation we'll in hand
at Iloilo and that he fully understands
the purpose of the President not to crowd
the insurgents unduly.
1t is b ighly desirable that u hostile col
lision between the American forces and
the insurgents be avoided at all hazards.
The officials here are now fully satisfied
that the trouble at Iloilo may be traced
directly back to the Spanish Colonel
Rios. who was in command OF the Wis
cayas group, including Iloilo.
General Otis's reports show that though
besieged with his 800 soldiers in Iloilo
by superior force, the position of the
Spanish was thoroughly tenable.
They had repulsed every attack of the
insurgents and had inflicted great loss
upon the latter and altogether there was
no reason why they should not have held
out
Particularly is this the case in view of
the understanding on the part of the Span
ieh that by thu. means OF the treaty the
United States government had under
taken 10 carry them back to spain involv-
ing OF course their release from the Siege
at the earliest possible moment. 1t is
significant that hios delayed the evacua.
tion of Iloilo until he became informed
that the Americans were coming and
there is curiosity here 30 learn how that
important information reached uoilo in
advance of the movements of the Ameri-
can transports and in the absence of cable
connections. Undoubtedly 1t was con-
veyed by vessel and there may be a
question raised as to the legitimacy of the
transmission of news of the Intentions of
the American troops in advance of this
fashion.
One feature of General Otis's report
that has escaped mention SO far is his
notice of the approaching meeting Of the
SO called Filipino parliament which is to
gather. presumably at Malalos, about 20
miles from Manila on the Island Of
Luzon, Thursday next That the strength
of AguinaIdo's party is waning..rapidly is
not doubted, and Gen eral Otis feels that
when the attempt is made to convene the
parliament 1t will be found that Aeuinal-
do has lost his control of the majority and
cannot command even working
coalition. Such a state of affairs would
tend to make easier the task OF the mill
tary authorities of the United States
easier.

DEFEAT FOR QUAY.
First Round in Senatorial Fight

ED REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

His Opponents Are Jubilsnt, Bus
senator stilI Claims lie Can Control
Enough of Absentces to win--De-
eision of Court Likely to Have
Much To Do with Result.
Harrisburg, Pa. January 3-Despite
the efforts of the opponents of Senator
Quay to secure postponement OF the sen.
atorial caucus until later date, the ad.
herents of the. senator carried their point
tonight and secured the Endorsement OF
their favorite by 100 of the 1914 Republi-
cans of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
This is 10 less than the number necessary
to elect n United States senator on joint
ballot, the total membership being 254,
of which 12s is u majority. The anti
Quay leaders are jubilant over the result
OF the caucus and claim that Mr.. Quay
can never succeed himself In the senate.
The Quay people and Senator Quay him
self. however express confidence Of ulti-
mate victory. Thsy say that of the alb
sentees two members of the House. Snyder
of Luzerne and Clark sf Washington are
kept away by sickness and will vote for
Senator Quay. This would leave him II
votes OF the number necessary to elect
aud the effort of the Quay leaders will be
directed during the next two weeks to-
ward securing these votes. They will be-
just as bitterly opposed In the future by
the group of men who have made the
fight against Mr.. Quay as they have been
in the past.
Undoubtedly the decision OF Senator
David Martin this morning to remain out
of the caucus had much to do with the
result All agree that much depends on
the action that the state supreme court
will take IN Philadelphia on January
on the proceedings brought before that
body through u writ granted recently, the
effect of which is to bring the criminal
proceedings against Senator Quay before
the court OF review. Ii the proceedings
are quasned by the supreme court Mr..
Quay will assuredly be reelected. II the
court refuses to interfere with the regular
course Of the legal proceedings against
Senator Quay and decides that he must
stand trial on the indictments found
against him there can be no doubt that
the position of his opponents will be
greatly strengthened.
Senator Quay made this statement al
midnight: II am entirely satisfied with
the results Of tonight's oaucus A num-
bsr OF the members Il the legislature who
did not attend the caucus have assured
me OF their support when the assembly
meets in joint convention. These votes
are more than sufficient to elect me-

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. rrsxHAM.l

A woman with the blues is q very un.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known As
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv.
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experiences.
Read the story of Mrs. f. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR MRS. PrSKHAM:-I have sui.
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for q short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than 1
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"

wLlARD's MISSIONARY WORK
san suetng for Union with Cape
Elizabeth.

The earnest and energetic campaign
which has been carri,d on by the vii.
lard people TO persuade the Inhabitants
Of Cape Elizabeth that union of the two
towns was to their mutual advantage.
came to an end last night. so far as
public gatherings are concerned by a
meeting at Grange hall. Among those
present wore; Glenn Staples. Elisha N.
Jordan, John N. Brown, j. Scott
Jordan, Albert Hannaford, Walter j..
Maxwell, henry u. Rand, Charles Ellis
north Jordan. pomeroy W. Jordan. Al
bert Jordan, Gilbert q. Jordan, Charles
l.. Jordan, John Dsarbourn, Edward s.
Brown, Enooh Jordan and Harry X. Jor-
Ian. willard was represented by Will.
liam Cobb. ID. A. Mssher. J. o. GRAHAM
and John Philbrick.
The meeting organized with John N.
Brown rs chairman and II. s. Jordan
secretary.
Mr.. Glenn Staples first showed on a
map the old lines and the present divis-
ionai line proposed by the willard people
and explained the geographical condition
Of things
MIR. ID. A. Meaher then defined the
position Of the Willard people and fol-
lowed the line OF argument made by him
at the previous meetings and mentioned
the names Of several prominent taxpayers
Of Cope Elizabeth who favored annexa-
ton, such as Judge Synonds. Hon. G..
+. Libby and others and dwell with
emphasis on the fact that 1t was not the
desire Of Willard to be burden on Cape
Elizabeth and she would not be so, for
her wants were few. the expenses OF her
roads were light and she had a good taxa
BILE list. He said there was spirit Of
unrest and dissatisfaction with her pres
emit condition and first Of all 1t was de-
sired by the people Of Willard to be set of
by themselves and next to that annexa.
ton to Cape Elizabeth was wished.
MIR. GRAHAM then submitted figures
taken from the town reports of the two
towns for 1897 to show that Willard would
be q desirable partner with Cape Eliza
beth.
These figures brought Mr.. Staples to
his feet and ne closely cross-questioued
MIR. GRAHAM and underworld to show
that Wizards valuation was Increased
for purposes Of taxation while Cape Ellis
abeth had maintained the same valua-
ton since 1884. He referred TO the i'm.
provements Of streets which the people OF
willard would most likely want, and her
need of sewerage, etc and believed that
In a union of the two towns Willard
would get the advantage as her valuation
was only $500 against valuation Of
$500, 900 for Cape Elizabeth.
The discussion was continued by Mr.
Cobb and Mr.. Meaher on behalf of VIII.
lard and Mr.. Elisha Jordan speaking fol
Cape Elizabeth expressed sympathy fol
the willard people ana did not believe
they were kiokers and hoped they would
succeed In being set of by themselves
Before adjournment, the opinion Of
those present was almost unanimous that
while it was hardly advisable TO annex
the two towns, still willard was worthy
of good wishes and the hope was expressed
that the Legislature would see at to sci
the village off by itself and out of the
clutches OF South Portland.
