INDEPENDENCE IS HANDICAPPED
Which Latter Leads Columbia
by Half Mile.

Bateman's Point, R. l., July 6.-The
yachts Constitution, Columbia and Inde
pendence started in a thirty-mile race to-
day. The wind was about eight knots.
Constitution crossed the starting line at
IL: :1O:O2; Columbia, at 12:1O:O5, and Inde-
pendence at 12:10:15. The last named is
handicapped Is seconds. At first the Her
reschoff boats led the Boston craft nearly
a quarter Of mile. Columbia passed
Constitution and the Independence pulled
up on the two others until she seemed on
nearly even terms. Constitution regained
the lead. Then independence tackled and
crossed the wake of the others, going out
to sea, wind hunting. Later, at 1:09, In
dependence tackled to sIarboard and stood
after the Herreshoff boats. At that time
she was over 2A miles astern of Consti-
tuition. which led Columbia by half a mile
The weather was very thick and there was
difficulty in making out the position Of the
yachts.

During the siege of Ladysmith, after
the Tugela river disaster, while all
England was waiting, with its heart in
it's mouth, for official news of the bat
tie, the British war office received a
dispatch from General Butler begin
ming, at is always darkest before the
dawn" There was nothing definite
about this, but 1t is not likely that any
one failed to correctly guess what was
to follow. During the civil war in this
country a correspondent of the New
York Tribune on the occasion of vic
tory for the Union forces prefaced his
dispatch with verse from q popular
hymn which in letter perhaps would
have been very appropriate. Horace
Greeley, who was at that time conduct
ing The Tribune, in his next communi-
cation to the correspondent made the
characteristic request that In future he
give the number of the hymn and save
telegraph expenses.

1t Is charged that Cecil Rhodes, the
English-South African millionaire mine
owner, paid to the Liberal party in
England as campaign contribution"
the sum Of $1,000. and in return it was
tacitly agreed that the demand for the
evacuation of Egypt should not be
pressed. This Egyptian question is a
monumental one and has been hanging
fire for long time. But what makes it
appear remarkable to us is that a
transaction of such dimensions can be
squelched by the gift of a puny, mig
gardly $4,000 contribution" 1t would
require five times that amount to
squelch even u garbage contract in this
country. 1t is an old saying that "ev-
cry man Tor party has his price," but
the Liberal party in England appears
to be about the cheapest going.

The Prospect of Dollar Wheat.


There is an old agricultural saw that
when wheat goes to a dollar a busheT
the farmer is in clover, and it need sur
prise no one if it should go to that
figure before the next seasons crop is
harvested. The shortage in the wheat
crop abroad and the shortage in corn
here must of necessity force ub the
price of wheat, but whether it reaches
the dollar mark remains to be SEEN
The deficit abroad is now known to be
much greater than the European grain
trade and milling journals have here
tofore been willing to admit. Late adj
vices indicate that the French crop, all
along reported to be light, will be much
smaller than was expected, and France
will probably have to buy 1OO,OOO,OOO
bushels abroad. Germany, which has
faced shortage Of wheat and rye from
the first, is no better off than first re-
ported; Hungary, which produces nor
mally a small surplus, has to meet
deficit; the Roumanian crop has been
seriously damaged, and In Russia too
much rain In one section and drought
and hail In others will reduce the ex-
portable surplus considerably.
So far as this years crop Is concerned
Europe is probably worse off than it
was In 1897. But The statistical posi-
ton Of wheat was much stronger in
that year than it is now because stocks
were at low ebb all over the world
at the opening of the crop year and
the American crop was about 100000
600 bushels short of this years prob
able total The low state of uncom-
sumed stocks in 1897 was indicated by
the fact that the visible supply in the
United States on Sept. 1, which as a
rule marks the ebb, was only 100000
bushels, the lowest point reached dur
ing the decade except In 1898, when the
heavy European demand had reduced
our visible supply to less than 100000
bushels. This year on Aug 5 our
visible supply Of wheat was sc, 100000
bushels. This is the lowest visible"
by many bushels since 1897 or 1898.
While ihe worlds visible supply is
perhaps not now enough to warrant a
prediction Of an experience like that Of
1878 which eliminated in the Letter
corner and a top price of $1.S5, the sit
uation of the wheat market is very
much the same as it was at that time
Our wheat harvest this year is album
dant. estimated at G5OOOO,O0O bushels,
but wheat is already going out of the
country at record breaking rate, indi-
eating large void abroad to be filled.
Moreover, scarcity and comparatively
high prices of corn and of nearly all
market garden products, which form
large proportion Of the food Of the
American people, will be likely to re-
suit in much larger domestic con-
sumption Of wheat Dollar wheat,
therefore, Is not beyond the possibili-
ties.

Petroleum and the Mosquito.

Petroleum ana inc tiGSQ dibO.
1t has been quite conc. ls.vcly proved
10y the experiments this season that Pc
troleum, either crude or refined, is eff
fective as a means of destroying imma-
ture mosquitoes and rendering stagnant
pools and like breeding places incapa-
BILE Of sustaining this most dangerous
form of insect life.
In some instance, however, the rem
edy is almost as bad as the disease
Petroleum Is an unpleasant thing to
handle as well as rather expensive In
the large quantities necessary for a
vigorous campaign against the mosqui-
toes, and after rural district has been
generously sprinkled with oil it's ap-
pearances and odor are almost enough
to make one prefer the maIarial pests.
Attention is deserved, therefore, by a
letter published in The Medical Record,
the author of which, DR.. Richard Wag-
gener, writing from the naval proving
ground at Indian Head, Md, says he
longago found that the addition to water
of little lime would quickly rid 1t Of
the larvae of mosquitoes. Recently"
the doctor declares, 81 accidentally dis
covered a rain barrel full of water
which was alive with the larvae and
pupR Of mosquitoes, the former being
vastly in the majority, and immedi-
ately seized upon this opportunity to
watch the effect Of lime upon them. AS
was not trying to ascertain the mini
mum quantity of lime necessary to kill
the larvae, but only to redemOnstrate
to myself that lime would do the work,
| dumped my two hands heaping full
of air slaked lime into the barrel. This
was done at 2:30 p. m. On inspection
the next day at 7:3O a. m. there was
not a single live larva In the barrel
but the number Of pupn was appar-
emily undiminished. Another inspec-
ton at 5 p. m. the same day showed
no live pup@ or larvae, and the water,
which before the Introduction of the
lime was dark and foul, was clear. and
dead larvae were plainly discernible on
the bottom" The experiment is GER
tainly worth trying in mosquito infest-
ed sections.

Palouse wheat stood for few DAYS of
the week at 40 cents bushel, and sales
were large; but at the same time the
farmer declares there is no money in it
Tor him. Beef, pork, mutton, poultry,
eggs, butter, hay, potatoes and apples
are going at good prices, and it almost
seems that portion of the fertile acres
could be turned to better use than grow
ing wheat everlastingly.

His Ambition Was Realized.

Edwin c. Madden, the Third Assist ant Postmaster General, Is waging a relentless, and what promises to be abuse the second-class mail privilege. abuse the second-class mail priilege. As a result he has attracted consider able attention from the publishing world. The stories of his early career are beginning to appear, as a matter of course, says the New York Times.
 Eugene Jeroloman, publisher, who was in the city on business recently, says that not so many years ago, when Madden was small pay clerk in a Western postoff1ce, he, Jeroloman, who was located in the town, had occasion to make a complaint about some rule of the Postofflce Department. He was referred to Madden. At the end of the conversation Madden said, jok- ingly:
 "Never mind, when am the head of a department down in Washington I'll have all these troublesome rules strengthened out"
 It is doubtful if he had at that time any serious idea of ever being in Wash ington Now he is practically the head of the auditing department of Uncle Sam's postal service.
