STRUCK By CYCLONE.
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse Ex-
periences Hard Voyage.

New York, Feb. 4.-The steamer Kali
ser Wilhelm der Crosse. which locked
this morning, 48 hours late, experienced
a most tempestuous voyage across the
Atlantic. but all on board were report
ed well.
Soon after the departure from Cher
bourg the vessel ran into a heavy
southeastern This soon shifted to the
west and raised a head sea through
which the steamship plunged heavily.
Throughout Thursday and Friday the
gale continued with now and then a
hail sQuaH rapping hard on deck. On
Friday might the barometer portended
some still worse weather. and by 2
o'clock that morning a 20 mile an hour
gale was shrieking overhead. Strug-
Cling against it at reduced speed the
ship made only 248 knots.
The gale broke on Saturday noon, but
left behind a. gigantic swell. 1t was a
wild scene, but so deep were the p1unges
tent to remain in their state rooms.
1t was, however, but a brief respite
which the weather gave and Sunday
found the Kaiser struggling with an
other furious gale. This finally blew
itself out and then came another which,
toward midnight, developed into a
cyclone. A port ventilatOr went with a
crash, the stout iron cylinder being
literally twisted from it's fastenings
and hurled to the deck with a crash.
The tops of five other ventilators were
snapped off. some sailing overheard,
others bounding and crashing about the
decks.
The bow of the vessel was swung
straight into the wind and there she lay
for three hours. great seas breaking over
/ her bow and her whole length hidden in
the storms of spray. Captain Cuppers
remained on the bridge constantly until
the storm passed. No person was injured
and no great alarm was felt among the
passengers.

oHANaINe eRAIN ROUTES.

CFrom the Minneapolis Journal
The trend of grain export routes is
plainly away from the Atlantic to the
gulf ports. In 1903 New Orleans super
seeded Montreal as the second grain
exporting port of the continent and
closely followed New York. Galveston
advanced from seventh to fifth place.
In wheat exports alone New Orleans
stands first and Galveston second, and
New York drops to third place.
The Improvement of the Canadian
waterway system will likely have the
effect of making Montreal more and
more of a wheat export port, especial
" il the production of wheat in the
Canadian west shall grow as rapidly
sis now seems probable. But it is not
likely that much more American grain
vtuI go through Montreal than now.
The indications are that hereafter there
win be very little northwestern spring
heat for export except in the form
of -four. The gulf ports are already
drawing grain from points in Ne
braska. and hereafter very little grain
produce south of Minnesota is likely
to find its way out of the country by
Atlantic ports.
This radical change in the grain
route has attracted much attention
from the trunk lines. The Railway
World, however, tells them that there
IS no use in worrying about the mat
ter. as it is a consequence of geography
rather than rates. The center of the
great wheat producing areas of the
country this side of the Rocky noun
tains is now nearer to the gulf than
to the Atlantic
Examine these figures: Nebraska is
now raising about So 100000 bushels OF
wheat annually; Kansas about 50. 000.-
600; Oklahoma, 10000, 600; Missouri, SO,
o00, ee9; Texas, 100000. These five
states are producing about oue-third OF
the total American wheat crop. They
also constitute the region in which
there will probably be the greatest in
crease of production in the next few
years. They all are or soon will be
tributary to the gulf
AS this change in trade lines is ac-
companied by the Industrial rehabili-
tation of the south and it's agriculture
