FARM PRODUCTS GOING UP.
No One Can Guess Where the Advance in
Wheat VIII Culmina te-COrn, Oats and
Provisions in Sympathy.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 25.-The
Star says that there are some people
who think wheat may go to a dollar
Il bushel this week. 1t advanced 10
cents last week and since June 5,
when the rise started, there has been
an Upturn Of 21 cents. July wheat in
Chicago sold at So cents Saturday. 1t
sold at 81 cents a little more than two
weeks ago. The market is in such
condition that 10 one hardly dares
to guess where the advance will Gull
inmate.
Wheat was not the only thing that
advanced last week. The price of
corn went up over three cents and
that, too, in the face of an almost
perfect crop prospect. The most i'm
portant motive for buying corn is the
theory that the northwest drought is
the fOrerunner of a dry and hot July
in the corn states.
Oats joined the general upward pro-
cessiOn. Prices advanced 21% cents last
week. The general oats crop is about
the biggest on record, but the short
northwest crop will cut some figure
and the high prices of wheat and corn
will have sentimental effect toward
putting prices Of oats up.

INDIANA wATER-soAKED.
Unusual Storms and CIOudbursts Caused
Heavy Damage, Especially at Points
Along the Wabash River.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 23.-One
of the heaviest transforms in years
swept Indiana yesterday. The Wa
bash river is out of its banks and
still rising. Much damage has been
done. At Wabash the water works
are broken and the city is without
water for use or fire protection. At
Treaty, six miles south, Big Four
freight train of Is cars is wrecked
in a washout.
At Fort Wayne there was a cloud
burst. The water backed over many
squares of residences. Electric lines
were stopped and barns and debris
are backed against the bridges. At
Warsaw the big city sewer, under
construction, is filled with drift
Easements are filed with water. At
Peru there were four. cloudbursts and
great damage was done. The gov
eminent gauge showed a fall of over
six inches in ten hours.
Throughout the Wabash valley there
is much damage by the high water
and as the river is still rising more
damage is feared. Crops are over
flowed and the corn will suffer, es-
pecially as nearly the entire valley
is planted, and thousands of acres of
corn will have to be replanted.

WITHOUT WARNING.
Thirty-Five People on a Southern
Railroad Plunged to Death.
Near McDOnOugh. ga , the Passenger Train
Ran into EVashOut and Every Person
Except the Pullman Occupants
Were EuIed.

Atlanta, Ga, June z5.-A passenger
train on the Macon branch of the
Southern railway ran into washout
11A miles north of McDonough, Ga,
Saturday night and was completely
wrecked. The wreck caught fire and
the entire train, with the exception
of the sleeper, was destroyed. Every
person on the train except the occu-
pants of the Pullman car persisted.
Not a member of the train crew es-
capped. Thirty-five people in all were
killed. A cloudburst broke over that
section of the country about six
o'clock Saturday night and presum-
ably shortly after dark washed out
a section of the track nearly 100 yards
in length. Into this the swiftly NOV
ing train plunged. The storm was
still raging and all the car windows
were closed. The passengers, secure
as they thought and sheltered from
the weather, went to death without
an instant's warning. The train, con-
sisting of a baggage car, second-class
coach, frst-class coach and q Pull
man sleeper, was knocked into
kindling wood by the fall. The wreck
caught fire few minutes after the
fall and all the coaches were burned
except the Pullman ear. Every per-
son on the train, except the occu-
pants Of the Pullman car, persisted
in the disaster. There was no escape,
as the heavy Pullman car weighted
down the others and the few alive
in the sleeper were unable to render
assistance to their fellow passengers.

MACARTHUR MAKES ANSWER.
The American General Informs Filipino
Leaders That Their Personal Rights
Would BIZ Guaranteed Them.

Manila, June 25.-MacArthur has
given a formal answer to the Filipino
leaders, who, last Thursday, sub
mitted to him peace proposals that
had been approved earlier in the day
by meeting of representative insur-
gents. In his reply he assured them
that all personal rights under the
United States constitution, excepting
trial by jury and the right to bear
arms, would be guaranteed them.
The promoters of the peace move
ment are now engaged in reconstruct
ing the draft of the seven clauses
submitted to Gen. Macarthur in such
a way as to render it acceptable to
both sides.
The seventh clause. providing for
the expulsion of the friars, Gen. Mac
Arthur rejected on the ground that
the settlement of this question rests
with the commission headed by Judge

POSTAL FRAUDS ECLIPsFD.
Under Spanish Rule Teachers in Havana
University Were Drawing $4,000
Year and Doing Nothing.

Havana, June 23.-The postal frauds
have rather swamped the scandal ex-
listing in the university, which has
been the milking ground for some
of the best-known men in Cuba, who,
as under-professors, received $24,O a
year each. There were 70 of these
professors and "a assistants, some of
them having no classes at all, and
others only one or two students.
Many of the professors drew other
government salaries. When this was
called to Gen. Woods attention he
Immediately inaugurated reforms,
which resulted in cutting the list
down to 46, including assistants,
which is enough, considering that
there are only $50 students. For in
stance, instruction in Greek was di-
vided into three parts, history, gram
mar and literature. 1t is now COM
bined under one professor of Greek.

TO MAKE PLATFORM FIRST.
Not Probable That the Democratic Nation
al Convention VIII Depart from Prec-
edents Set in the Past.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 24.-There
will be three conventions in session
in Kansas City beginning July 4.
The bimetalIic convention and the
free silver republican convention will
also nominate Bryan and will in
dorse the choice of the democratic
convention for the vice presidential
nomination.
1t is now believed that Charles A.
Towne, of Minnesota, is out of the
race and that his nomination for that
office by the national populist con-
vention at Sioux Falls is the begin
ming and ending of his ambition to
be Bryan's running mate. Those
best able to judge declare the NOM
inee will come from Indiana or New
York
It is not probable that Bryan will
be nominated before the platform
is adopted. The proceedings will not
differ materially from those recorded
at Chicago in 1896.

The Texas Democratic Convention.

Austin, Tex, June G2.-The Texas
state democratic convention adopted
an anti-expansion platform yesterday
afternoon after a prolonged contest.
The instructions issued to the Kansas
City delegation are to support W. j.
Bryan. The platform is in favor of
laws to prohibit trusts, favors con-
struction of the Nicaraguan canal
and insists that the Chicago platform
be reaff1rmed in its entirety. There
are so many candidates for positions
on the Kansas City delegation that
the convention decided to send eight
deIegates-at-large instead of four.

Manila, June 22.-TwO hundred

tice of amnesty to all Filipinos who
subscribe to a declaration accepting
the sovereignty of the United States

30 Free TRANSPORTATION to conrent,on

st. Louis, June 23.-The executive
officers of all the lines running into
Kansas City have decided that no free
transportation shall be issued to or
from Kansas City on account of the
democratic national convention, July
4. This is imperative, and no excep-
ton will be made under any circum-
stances. The railroads feel that very
liberal concessions have already been
made in the way of special reduced
rates for the Kansas City convention,
and they cannot afford to carry any
body free.

How Old Ia Chinas

If the Chinese themselves are to
be believed, the Chinese empire has
been in existence for more than 1OO.-
900 years. Other students say that it
was founded $500 years before Christ,
and by some Fohi, supposed to be the
Noah of the Bible, is considered the
founder. The great wall of China,
portions of which are still in evidence,
was completed 211 B. c. Printing is
saia to have been known in China as
early as 2O2 B. C. In 1862 an earth
quake shook the empire and 100000
people were killed at Pekin alone.
