PRESENTATION POSTPONED.

Lord Roberts Dissatisfied With South
African Affairs.
London, Jan. 16.-Lord Roberts has
further emphasized the unsatisfactory
condition Of South Africa In a letter to
the mayor Of Portsmouth postponing
the presentation of a sword Of honor
from that city. He says:
1T is most distasteful to me to be
honored and feted and called upon to
rejoice while SO many are In bitter
grief and before we can properly re.
turn thanks that the cloud is being
rolled away which has for more than
year darkened the homes and
crushed the hearts of so many in our
country"

The Wheat Market.
Wheat market hes he'd compa

Wheat market has held compel
atively steady. There has bel =
continued good export demand for
grain available for loading pur-
poses, and, while very little Earring
loose Of large holdings is reported
at the interior, the aggregate pass
ing out of growers hands during
the week was considerable The
principal trouble is in getting this
wheat to tidewater, for, while buy
ers are able to supply their wants
at producing points, transportation
companies are still lacking in loco
motive facilities, and wheat is kept
from coming forward at a satisfac-
tory rate. The spot fleet and the
outward movement is rapid, cut
ting down tonnage in port Dy con-
siderable. Priess held firm and
showed further advance up to the
close of last week, reaching Ssh "a
56c for Walla Walla club at the
top, at which price good deal of
business was done on the east side,
but Monday and Tuesday the stu
alton abroad offered less of encour-
agement. There was an easing off
in the demand and a poorer tone
to quotations, which affected values
to the extent Of &c, local exporters
'oting 55c with 55!c as the regu-
Asr limit.
Receipts were 354 cars, or 318,-
600 bushels, bringing October total
up considerably above that month
a year ago, but still short of what
would be the case if the railroads
could move the grain offered. Elk
ports comprised two cargoes of
290,985 bushels. While another
vessel with $4,000 bushels on board
went to Seattle to complete. Three
vessels have arrived in to replace
departures, making no change in
spot tonnage. Charter rates con-
tinue one of the favorable features
of the situation. While NEST of the

The general situation is still fair
ly well balanced. Argentine adj
vices are given much attention, and
while late reports indicate that the
long continued drought has been
broken, partially at least, news is
still indefinite and unsatisfactory.
Estimates have been put forth of
damage ranging from % to 40 per
cent, but harvest is still from two
to three months hence, aud there
is, of course, possibility of recoup-
ing. While foreign demands have

FUTURE SEAS SPEED.
Efficiency of steam Power Afforded by

Efficiency of Steam Power Afforded by
thu Turbine System.
Prof. Thurston, the greatest living
authority on the steam engine, has re-
Gently given it forth as his opinion
that the steam turbine of the Parsons
or De Laval type combines within it
self the greatest simplicity and the
highest thermal efficiency of any form
of steam power. Such statement as
this from an authority of the weight
of Prof. Thurston must be somewhat
disconcerting to Mr.. Thorneycroft and
others, who have staked their reputa-
tion on the inherent superiority of the
rccjprocating engine. When we add
to Prof. Thurston's declaration the fact
that the Parsons Marine Steam Tur-
bine company has contracted for riv-
er steamer $50 feet long for Clyde SER
vice, and that they are contemplating
the construction of a large deep-sea
boat, the prospect of the new means
of marine propulsion exemplified in the
Turbinia and the Viper would seem to
have a brilliant future. But there is
another side of the picture. Surprising
that in face of a multitude of current
predictions, an oceanic turbine vessel
would be so economical as to have
room for cargo during her voyage, as
well as coal, and be able to thrash
her way across the Atlantic at the
speed threatened us in the near future,
would the rivets OF the vessel stand the
strain of the conclusive force implied
in forcing vessel through seas at the
rate of even thirty knots an hour? Ex-
perienced marine sages say that no
vessel could be built that would hold
together under such conditions.-Lon-
don Express.

Commission win he Welcomed.

The commissioners will be hospit-
ably treated, and every effort made TO
show them that the United States does
not desire to rob them of independ-
ence in the management of their own
affairs but it does not intend to give
them the power to NEEDLE in the af-
fairs of this government by making
treaties to our embarrassment, or by
contracting debts to interfere with OBJ
legations we hold sacred. All this has
been explained to the convent On, but
it can be explained again to the COM
missioners to show them that the Plat
amendment cannot and will not be
changed, and that Cuba must adopt it
or something substantially like it, be-
fore there can be a Cuban govern
ment.

acknowledgement, you will say for man

in London for a number of years; but
so it is. Circumstances alter cases,

Miss Mabel and Miss Sylverton, and
and you in ball costume"
you cannot imagine anyone half so
charming as | look In mine," said Miss
TreVanion, with gay audacity; lin fact
the other two you mentioned are mo-
where when l appear. And, If you
don't believe this statement, you may
judge for yourself the night after next.
So that is why you are thinking lit
tie about it-eh?"
Il would think a great deal about

never cease dreaming of it from the
moment until then, if you would only
promise me the first waltz"
But, at that rate, consider how stu
pidly insipid you would be for the next
two days. l would not have 1t on my
conscience to be the means of reducing
you to such state of imbecility. And,
beside, you don't deserve anything at
my hands, as you have not told me the
something else you spoke of when
we first met at the cottage"
Perhaps if / told you you would be
angry" he said.
What should there be in your
thoughts to cause ne anger?" she
answered-and just a degree of the
light buoyancy that had been animat-
ing her voice ever since they began
their walk faded out of it, and did not
return.
We'll, then. as I stood at the cottage
door before entering l heard Mrs.
Dempsey tell you of report she had
heard-a report that gave you in mar
riage to Lord Lyndon. was thinking
of that when you first spoke to me, and
wondering" He stopped abruptly,
and, turning looked at her with eyes
full of wild entreaty. Tell me" he
said, almost fercely, 'is it true?"
They were inside the gates of Kings
Abbott by this time and were rapidly
nearing the house. Already the grand,
beautiful old mansion appeared at in
tervals, gray and stately, through the
intersecting branches of the lime trees
beneath which they walked. Miss Tre-
vanion's face had subsidized from its
expression of gay insouciance into it's
usual settled look of naughty impene-
trability and, gazing at her, Denzil
felt his heart grow cold and dead with
in his breast, as hope fed and dull
despair crept into fill its vacant place.
BY what right do you dare to ques-
ton me on such subject?" she asked,
her voice low but quick with anger.
And he answered, with sad truthful
ness-"By none. l have no right"
After which they continued their
walk in utter silence until the hall
door was reached, when, drawing back
to allow her free entrance, he said,
with faint trembling in his tones:
And about that waltz, Miss Ire
vanion-may / have it?"
NO" she answered with cold dis
tinctness-'T have almost promised it
to another" and went past him into
the house without further look or
word.

, Dosire to Increase Friction.

The President has no doubt as to his
power to call a new convention, but he
has no desire to Increase the friction
in Cuba. The administration of Gov
ernor General Wood has been clean
and able. 1t is accomplishing more for
Cuba than could any civil administra-
ton under the new government. The
business men in Cuba are well satisfied
to have the convention haggle over the
Plat amendment and delay the de-
parture of the American soldier, be-
cause they fear the consequences of
change. The President is impressed
with this view, and will allow the Gu
ban convention to take it's own time in
discussing the Plat amendment on
other propositions. AS for the COM
mission it may come to Washington
and have the President tell 1t just what
Governor General Wood has told the
convention, that he has no power to
change an act of Congress.
