WHEAT IN KANSAS.
Thousands of Bushels Piled on the Open Soil Waiting for Trans
 portation

For the first time in It's history, says Leslie's Weekly, Kansas has more wheat than it knows what to do with. Not only are the granaries and bins running over with grain, but the elevators are filled and the farmers are still bringing it to market by hundreds of thousands Of bushels. The long dry weather was. in q sense. bonanza for wheat raisers. Much of the grain was so heavy that il fell to the ground and would have been lost had there been wet weather But with the long hot clear days every straw could be gathered, most of the farmers running and hauling the grain from the shocks to the machine. The grain has all been of the best quality and the yield from twenty to thirty-five bushels per acre. Not less than 80, 900, 900 bushels will be gathered and the high price is giving the farmers a fine income
 As the strings of wagons came to mar ket in the wheat belt the railroads wer' swamped. The could not furnish cars and the elevators were soon filled to over flowing. Even in the small stations twen- ty to thirty teams were waiting to be un- loaded all day through the latter part of the threshing The buyers finally began piiing the grain on the prairie. Great heaps of 5000 to 5000 bushels have been stored on the open sod and there they will remain until such time as cars can be secured in which to ship the grain. The sun does not hurt 1t, no one can steal 1t and so little rain falls during the summer that there Is practically no danger from that source Some enterprising buyere have secured circus tents and placed them over the piles, making curious features oi the prairie landscape.

THE RUSSIAN FAMINE
GOVERNMENT IS PREPARING
 FOR RELIEF.
Emperor Nicholas Has Ordered That the Fund Be Increased-As- sistance is Required in
 Nineteen Provinces.

St. Petersburg, Sept. E9.-Today. fol- lowing the recent publication. of the farl- inc conditions in thirteen districts, the Minister of tho Interior, M. Sipiaguine, issued a long sts stement on crop failure and the measures of famine relief upon which the central government has decld- ed
 Accordingly, upon the telegraphic re- porfo from various Governors, the gov ernTnsnt has begun the work vigorously. The sum of 9600O rcubles Las been Appr0- priated for the government of SaratoiI. 2s7, ,0O0 roubles for Tsuris. 10000 roubles for the non-miHtary poipts in the Don basin and 1S0.o00 roubles with supply of autumn seed for the government of Yekaterinoslaff.
 On August lo the central governments s famine fund amounted to cnly o3oO Oo) roublss. Emperor Nicholas ordered that this be increashed to 100000 roubles.
 According to the reports of the Cover nors state assistance Is required in nine teen provinces not counting the country of the Don Cossacks. which Is under the War Department. The reports estimate requirements for autumn and winter only, rot mentioning the spring, when the need is Greatsst.
 Assistance has been voted as follows: Haratoff, 1000, coo poods of rye: Samara. cally; simbinsk, 74i,eoO peods;;. Kasan, L141, zoe poods: Vistka, 7S2,0e0 poods; Oufa, 800 600 poods; Orenburg. 250,0O0 rou- bles; vorenej. l;asoSoo poqds: ood Tamboff. l YekaterinoalafT. 3CO,O0O poods; Tauris. so0,0o0 roubles. the two districts there having had three successive crop failures. 1Tobiask, 26n0O0 pcoGs: none of which is obtainabte locally; Tomsk. 1.5oo.coo poods of which 8eo,0O0 poods must be shipped from Europe before close of navigation, and 300 .ooe roubles for transport; AkmOl- linsk, GOO, 000 poods and 100, 900 roubles for transportation. and Semipalatinsk. T.oOO roubles.
 No detailed reports have been received from Oreland or Yetnizisk, although it is known that both need assistance. Perm has a shortage but local effort will suf- flee there.
 r Great difficulty will be experienced in transporting grain before the close of navigation. The government Is now at- tending to the most pressing demands. A special commission has been engaged since the beginning of August in buying 6.300.o00 poods of rye for the provinces suffering most. In the thirteen districts first mentioned medical organization is active and special relief Is being given.
 Scurvy has broken out in the govern ment of Khvalinsk and two divisions of the Red Cross Society are there.

aAs rNorNrs AND E1rcrRIcITY

Mir.

The electric propulsion of vehicles" he says. already well extended. admits. however, of such radical departure from the old way as to suggest that we may by disc arding many of our old ideas and methods, have veritable revolution in the prevailing practice. This point Is H. frustrated bv the fact that an electric railway, upon winch single cars are run at frequent intervals for a distance Of asout 45 miles, parallel to one of the standard railW avs in the United States. is. after being two years in operation. carrying twenty times as many passen- gers as were formerly carried by the steam railway between the same points As respects power plants MT. Nesting houses ideas are very striking. Rough ly stated. the expense for fuel and labor for the production of electricity by a gas-engine equipment will not" he says, be greatly above one-third of that of the highest type of steam plant. while in comparison with the average steam plant the fuel consumption and cost will not exceed one-quarter. The decreased cost of production of electricity by means of gas engines. as compared with the pres ent steam-engine plants. would enable an electrical unit to be sold at so low fig- ure as to justify wide use of the cleo trio current for cooking and heating pur- poses"

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1901.

President Arthur went into office in September, ,1sG, with all of the Garfield Cabinet holding their portfolios. He pur- sued a very conservative course in the way of making changes. The first oc- cured in October. when he appointed Judge Folger Secretary of the Treasury, to follow Secretary wIndom, who desired to resign to accept . lucrative position in connection with the Mexican Topolo- bampo Railroad. The next change in the Cabinet was the selection of ex-Senator Ffei4nghuysen. of New Jersey, as Secre- tary of State. to succeed MT. Blaine. This took place December 12. On the 18th of the same month Benjamin Brewster, aR Pennsylvania, was chosen to succeed Wayne MoVeagh as Attorney General. end on the 10th Timothy O. Howe. of Wisconsin, was named for Postmaster General, in place of Thomas L. James. It was not until the next April that William E. Chandler was appointed Sec rotary of the Navy. to succeed Secretary Hunt, who was appointed to the Federal bench. This occurred on the 1st of the month, and on the 9th Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, was made Secretary of the Interior, after Samuel J. Kirkwood. Ro- bert T. Lincoln.

GERMAN FINANCES.
Business Disasters the Cause of Much

Berlin, Sept. 9.-The monthly settle ment is passing of smoothly. The most striking feature in the make up figures Is the heavy fall in bank stock and ocean transportation shares since Au- gust. The stock of the Dresdener Bank lost S;75 per cent; Disconto- -Geseilsehaf 475; Deutch Bank, 4; Darmstadt Bank, 625; North German Lloyd, 1o.75, and Hamburg American. 1923.
 Money for the settlement is abundant at rates ranging from I to 4.2o per cent; yesterday to A.25. The weeks bourse se- cured a new low water market in quo tations for almost all idle securities cent renewal of business disasters has deepeHed the gloom of the bourse. The Frankfurter Zeitung says: That de- spondency has reached point bordering on despair. adding that the bears almost daily set new .unfavorable rumors af1oat which find ready credencc on a complete ly pesglmiStic bourse and that the. bourse in the despair offers good soil for such rumors which seldom fail of success"
 The bank troubles fin South Germany spread last week to PforZheim. Stuttgart and minor points. Several small insti- week It Is admitted that banking con ditions have been slightly unfavorable during the quarter now closing and the prospects for the financial qua ter of the of bank stocks for week was about 3 points. Dresdener Bank stock fell 6.50 The bears are making a determined at tack upon the institution because of its connection with Ludwig LowerKip whose shares have recently fallen heavily ow- ing to the unfavorable condition of money market and also because the head of the company is involved in a number Of sub-companles.
 Although the Deitche Bank published during the week it's semi-annuaI report showing an increase of 62, .0OO marks in it's turnover, its shares fell 2.40 points.

The Case of Heilner.
Washington Post.

WaShinEton Post.
 Hellner Is one of seven officers who, on the Sth of October, 1SS8-hardly more than three months after the engagement on Santtago-prepared and certified to a chart giving the positions of the United States ships "during the battle of July S." It may be said that Heilner was not under oath when he signed that report of certifoation, but it may also be said that he was on his honor as an officer of the navy, which is quite as binding on a gentleman. Moreover, the report closed with these words:
 Tn reconciling differences of opinion in regard to distances. bearings. ranges, etc., full liberty was given to the representa- tive of the ship under discussion to bring In any argument or data he considered necessary, and the board submits this re- port with feeling that under the cir cumstances it Is as clearly correct as is possible so long after the engagement"
 This report Is part. and an import ant part, of the document submitted to the Senate Feb. G. 1898, by Secretary Long by way of supporting Sampson's charges against Schley The document was first printed in confidence for the use of the Senate" Eight days later it was referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. and the injunction of secrecy removed" Three years ago, Lieutenant Heilner (since promoted to commander for brilliant exploits doubtless) certified that the chart was ''as nearly correct as Is possible so long after the engagement" Yesterday, his memory having been re- freshed by thirty-siX months of refiec- ton, he spoke of the report and chart as "a lot of matter here which is worth less!" He was one of the seven chosen to prepare the chart. Full liberty was given" him ito bring in any argument or data he considered necessary in or der to reconcile differences of opinion in regard to distances, bearings. ranges" etc. Yet not until the 2d of September. nearly three years afterward, did Com mander Heilner (promoted meanwhile he signed in 1898 was worthless

THE aARRoTE IN MANILA.
The High Sheriff May Be Compelled
 to Use It at an Execution.

 to Use It at an Execution.
 Manila New-American.
 High Sheriff Petersen is wondering how 1t feels to garrote man. The subject was suggested to him by the discovery that there was 8 murder case on the docket of Judge Odlin's court. and that the mode of punishment prescribed by the Spanish code, under which the courts are now operated, Is death in the chair.
 The murderer is Lorenzo Antiparde, charged with killing native policeman last September in TOndo. His case is set for Wednesday. August IA, at g a. m. If convicted and condemned to death. so the learned say, there Is but one way to carry out the sentence. Section l1 of the code reads: The penalty of death shall be executed by garrote, upon a scaffoId."
 The subject seemed to prey upon the wore a preoccupied look, and at times was seen to give his hands a sharp, twist ing motion, followed by look of shock and disgust, as in imagination he heard the neck crack or listened to the stran- sled victims dying struggle for breath.
 Opinions differed as to the form of the machine by which the death penalty was executed in years gone by. Originally it consisted of chair with an upright post for back. To this was attached an iron collar which fitted around the criminals s neck Through the post passed a screw. the point of which pressed upon the back
  turn of the crossbar handle of this screw forced the point through the cervical yer ytibrae of the condemned. and killed him instantly This was the machine used in Cuba. Spanish lawyers say that In the Philippines the apparatus differed in that the pointed screw and collar were absent. The back post had broad board behind the head, through two holes in which passed ropes. The ends of the ropes were fastened to a short board, narrow enough to pass under the chin and cover the throat. The other ends of the ropes wound round drum, and when this was turned the throat piece was drawn back till the victims wind was shut off and strangulation followed. If properly work ed, the shock killed instantly or rendered the man unconscious. but If the execu- tioner faltered slow death by suffocation ensued, and the struggles of the unfor- tunate were horrible to witness and lis ten to.
 Other provisions of the present code re- quire the execution to be public, and Etipulate that the prisoner shall wear a black cassock, and shall be conducted to the place of execution in the vehicle used for that purpose or in cart. The body shall remain exposed upon the scaffold for four hours, and shall then be deliv- cred to the relatives or friends of the de- ceased for burial If they so request. But the interment cannot be made with pomp.

vIaNAUT's DISCOVERY.
Historian Claims New Information Concerning Columbus's Ex-
 petition.

Paris, Sept. 2s-An important work which throws fresh light on the dis cOvery of America hy Columbus has been written by Henri Vigraut, First Sec retary of the United States Embassy here. It is in French and will be pub lished in this city October 1. MT. Wig naut, who is the Vice President of the Americanists Society of Paris. has made a life study of the early history of Amer lea.
 In an interview with the correspond ent Of the Associated Press, MT. Vignaut said:
 '"rhe present work is intended to show that for the last four centuries we have been deceived by fraud which hides from us the real beginning of Columbus s project and that the famous documents ascribed to Toscanelh, the learned Flor entine astronomer. were fabricated. submit excellent reasons for believing that Toscanelli never wrote the letter of 1474 to King Alfonso of Portugal and never traced the chart alleged to have accompanied it. Coiumbus's design was not founded on any scientific bs@s but on positive confirmation as to the exist ence of lands to the westward"

GUARDED FROM ANARCHISTS.
The Boston Post Closed Except to I- Those Having Pass Words.

Boston telegram to Chicago Tribune.
 For ten days 1t has been almost as much as ones life was worth to get into the editorial rooms of The Boston Post Barred doors and pass words have been the state of affairs. Meanwhile, Editor Grozier has been under constant guard both in and out of the office by couple of detectives. .h
 This state of affairs followed report of an aIlegsd meeting oI anarchists the Sunday follow ing the shooting of Presi dent Mckinley. in which some of those said to have been present were reported to have applauded the assassin's act. Fol- lowing this The Post printed story of an alleged attempt to lynch Fingold and Gordon, two Boston anarchists. The Bos- ton anarchists denied these reports, and later came a letter to Editor GroZier threatening all sorts of things The re- suit was denial of admission to every one to the building until they had given a satisfactory account of themselves.
 The doors are no longer locked. but MT. Groziers personal guard is still on duty.
