Eesult of Ihf Lfidlnc Torf Events East and West
Gfceral Sporting Xen s of the Day.
Now that the baseball season is about
over for this year the greatest activity has
commenced among the loot ball players, and
in a few days from now the ' kickers will
have foil possession of local sports. It is
safe tossy that football will be more popu
lar in Pittsbiirc this year than it has ever
leen before, not only as regards Jtugby but
also as far as Association football is
conccrne.l. .. The Allegheny Athletic
Association Executive Committee met
ycftcrday, and among other things they
mapped "lit a great season of Uugby foot
ball fur this section. They not only selected
almost their entire team, but also decided to
have some of the ost teams in the country
play games here between now and Christ
mas l)av. The local , association means to
hutle, and doubtless its team will be a good
one. .
A GltKAT RUSU LIXF.
It has been resolved thisljeason to make
the rtibU Hue as heavy as possible, and as a
result the four players forming the cctter
of the line uill make an aggregate weight
of about SftO pounds. The quarte: is,: O.
1). Thompson, Tlul l"Ioyd, John' Moorhead
and M. Kuntz. Messrs. Brainard and Ollivcr
will be at the ends and certainly nil told
the rush line will not be ensily downed.
The balance of the teatn are yet" in doubt,
although Messrs. Fry and Valentine arc
sure to be among the number. Practice will
commence next week as soon as the sports
tin Tuesday are over, and after a few pihc
lice sanies arc played the team will be
definitely selected.
Kflbrts will be made to have teams from
Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and Prince
tun play hero during the season. It is also
likclv that the famous Crescents from
lirooklyn will be here. They are a little
too strong for the home team, but the con
test will be for a charitable object and
doubtless a large crowd will turn out to see
the Iirooklynites play.
AXOTIir.K FAMOUS TEA5r.
There is also a strong desire among Pitts
burgers to have the team of the University
of Pennsylvania play at Exposition Park.
Kflbrts were made last, year to have this
team i-it us, but it was too late in the sea
son for the University players to get here.
It may be that an attempt will be made 'at
once this season to secure a date with them
and if that can be done they will certainly
be a great attraction.
At yeterday's meeting of the Executive
Committee final arrangements were also
made for Tuesday's sports. The latter prom
ise to be among the best that have ever
been held in Pittsburg. The entry list is
excellent. There are no less than 14 entries
from Uoston, and the New Jersey Athletic
Club is also well represented. Kepresenta
tives from the Detroit and Cleveland Clubs
are also expected. In all there will be 13
events, and each oneis sure to produce some
fine sport. .
The Athletic Association is prospering
splendidly, and the members expect to se
cure their new club house before long. The
list of membership xs steadily getting larger,
and it is expected that a lares number of
new members, will be the result of the sports
on Tuesday.
GOT A LITTLE CARELESS.
lialdwin Started Out In Great Form
Against the Clevelands, but 'Was a
Victim Near the Finish, and Our Own
Sluggers "Were Very Nicely Ileaten.
Clevkld, Oct. L Special. Tho Cleve
land cranks began to grow panicky about
the Jifili inning when it appeared as though
the same was sure to be lost anil Brooklyn
onld make a decided gain on Cleveland's
lead. Baldwin was in splendid fettle and.
pitched like a second Ku.-ie ov Hutchison.
In addition to that the Pittsburgs were field
ing superbly. Such work as Shugart and
liierbauer did this afternoon lias not been
excelled in Cleveland all the season. It was
simril an impossibility to get anything by
them, llaldn in had been doing so w ell that
lie got carets in tho eighth, and be
fore lie know it Cleveland had the score tied.
In the ninth it was an casv matter to hit tho
ball satelv and beat the Pittsburgs out, and
no individual wis more surprised at the out
come of the game tiian the aforesaid Mark
lialdwin.
The umpire was simply rank. He dis
tributed up his bad decisions pretty evouly,
exceut as regarded Mclvean's three-base nit
in tho eighth, w hich certainly looked foul to
all intents and purpose it a doubtful
v bother Iiecklty's tw o-basc hit was made in
lair ground.
Cle eland got its flnt run in tho flrst in
ning, when, with two men out. McKcaa hit
lor twohases ami -cored on Virtue's single
over i;icrbauer"s head. In the third, Maul
began with a single to right field and stole
second, lialdwin Hied out to Shearon. Han
Ion lined a tw o-bagger out into left field, and
Mnulercca the plate. Blerbaner's single
sent Ilnnlon home, and Burkett fumbled the
ball, liurkott misjudged Shugart's fly, and
ISiei uauer scored, shugurt going to second,
from vhenco he ran homo on Bcckley's
double. Miller had fiied out, and Jieckle
v-ns thrown out trying to stretch the hit
into a three-baser.
Child's fumble of Shngarfs hit, a steal,
passed ball and Miller's single gave Pitts
burg one in the seventh. In the eighth
Viau mado a base hit and went to second on
Baldwins wild throw. Miller threw Burkett
out. Child hit for a single and JtcKeau for
three bases, sending Viau and Childs home.
Pax is llied out to Lally and JfcKean scored.
Virtue rapped a three bane hit into left field
and scored on McAleer's single. Shearon
hit safely in the ninth and went to second
n Viau's sacrifice Burkett, Childs mid 31c
Kean hit safely in succession and two ruus
camo home. The I'ittsburgs could do
nothing with Viau after third inning. Score:

THEY GET THE PENNANT.
The Bostons Clinch Their Bold on the
Prize for 1801.
The Boston Club, as a result of yesterday's
ball games, has the pennant safe, no matter
how tho games of to-day and to-morrow may
result. If the Bostons lose to-day and to
morrow their record will be: 88 games won
and 52 lost, making a percentage of .023. If
the Chicngos win to-day and to-morrow they
Will stand as follows: H games won and SI
lost, making a percentage of .C22. But it.is
not likely that Chicago wilt win two and
Boston lose two.
The Bostons have nothing to fear as far as
protests are concerned, as the two games
they have played several times were all
legally played. On the other hand, there is
a possibility of there being some validity in
one or more of the protests against the Chi
cago games. Altogether it Is safe to offer
congratulations to the Bostons and to hail
them as the winners of the pennant of 1891.
They have made an extraordinary finish,bnt
they have certainly been favored by tbu
very broken up condition of opposing teams.
Anson also has with his team made a re
markable record. Ah stated in Tun Dis-
tatch the other day it may bo that the di
rectors or tne League win not meet until
their regular time next month.
Will Enter Suit.
aicKEEsroBT, Oct. L SiKdal' A suit will
likely lesult from the claim made by the
Duquesne Baseball Club, that they won the
game hero over the Goulds, because the ball
was lot in the eighth inning when tho score
stood 12 to H in favor of Dttnuesne. The
stakeholders paid ovcr.ro the Duquesne the
S25 put up, and Dan Gould will enter suit to
recover it. The local club claims the rules
sav the visitors should have furnished two
ball", and refuse to give them the game be
cause there was only one ball on tho
grounds. The losing club has challenged
the Duquene to a game for $100 a side to de
cide the matter.
Big Day at Xewark.
Xewauk, Oct. 1. Special. The estimated
attendance at the fair to-day was 18,000, and

GALLITZUT, THE PBIEST PBINCE.
An Historical Character nonorcd in the
Dedication of a Chapel.
'Johkstowjt, Oct. 1. Special. Tho chapel
at Loretto, which has been built through
tho efforts of Rev. Father ICittell, was dedi
cated 'to tho memory of the Prince priest,
Itev.Dcmetrius A. Gallitzln, with imposing
ceremonies. The chapel bad been built and
furnished in every particular Just as it was
wlion' tho Prince priest occupied it, nnd
as he' left it at his death in 18(0.
Ho was. a Russian Prince, but desir
ing tolenda holy lite he was ordained priest
In 1790 and came" to this country. He trav
eled everywhere to thoroughly inform bim
sclf,and in Jiis early ministry visited the
Catholic congregation near Loretto. When
the Bishop at Baltimore informed the con
gregation that they would bo given a regular-pastor,
Captain McGuire wrote an urgent
appeal that Rev. Mr. Gallitzln be sent, and
tills is how he came to locate there. He
built a little hut and held the first services
therein Christmastlay, 1793.
The first schoolhouse in Cambria county
was butlt at Loretto, nnd it was the custom
for ycirs'tor the congregation to got thor
oughly wanned up in the school building
lielore entering the little unheated place of
worship; Father Boylo said, in referring to
the "possibility of canonizing the dead
priest, that they could not anticipate the
wishes 'of church, but thought that it might
possibly be done. Rev. Father Klttell re
ceived nJotteT from tho Archbishop of St,
Louis, inclosing a handsome donation. It
hits been decided to erect a lifesize statuo of
Father Gallltzin.

CnicAoo,Oct. 1. The Homo Life Insuraneo
Company, of Brooklyn, to-day began suit in
the Federal Court against Edgar II. Kellogg,
whofor a series of years prior to last Feb
ruary acted as its general agent for the

HIS DYING COUNSEL
The Late General Boulanger leaves
a Political Testament.
STILL CONFIDENT IN -HIS CAUSE.
Belgian Clergy Eefnse to Solemnize the
Suicide's Funeral.
POLITICAL EFFECTS OF THE DEED
Brussels, Oct. 1. Henri Rochefort will
attend the funeral of General Boulanger,
which will be purely a civil ceremony. The
clergy, under the instructions of the Arch
bishop of Malines, have definitely refused
to officiate at the ceremonies. M. Thie
baud and Deputies Laur, Dnmontel and
Castelain arrived in a body in order to at
tend the funeral.
The remains of the General have been
placed in a coffin, the outer casing of
which, in accordance with the desire of the
deceased, is an exact replica of the one
which contains the rcniaims of Mme.
de Bonnemnin.
The political testament of the dead gen
eral was read to-day at a private meeting
of his friends, held in the hotel in the Eue
Jlontovcr. The text of it is as follows:
BOULAXOr.R'S POLITICAL TESTAMENT.
"This is my political testament: It is
my desire that it be published after my
death. I shall kill myself to-morrow. I
am convinced of the future of tho party to
which I have given my name. I cannot
bear the frightful misfortune -whioh befol
mo 2 months ago. Ihnve tried to get the
better of it, but I have not succeeded. I am
persuaded that nry followers aro so devoted
and so numerous that they will bear mo no
angcrfor disappearing onaccount of a sorrow
so great that all work has becoino Impossi
ble to mo. Let them remember the maxim,
unoavniso non deficit alter, and may they
continue then to net against those who, in
scorn of all laws, force me to die for my
country.
"To-morrow I shall bo a dead man. To
day I have nothing to reproach myself
with. All my life I have dono my dutv and
nothing but my duty. My death is no shame
to mj'self, but it is sname for my proscribers
those who sought to brand a loyal soldier
by tho Judgment of apolitical tribunal.
"I desire to recall the fact that 1 havo
many times offered to constltuto mysolf a
prisoner if they would accord me common
law Judges. This tho holders of power havo
always lefuscd. Thus, acquittal was not
possible.
"WOULD DIE A SOLDIER'S DEATH.
"I quitting life I hnvo but ono regret that
I have not died on tho field of battle, light
ing for my country. That country, at least,
will permit ono of its children, at the mo
ment of returning into nothingness, to re
call himself to tho memory of all lovers of
la patrie.
"Vive la France! Vivo la Republic! Done
and signed under my hand on the eve of the
dav of inv death. Kaiixkht BoutAKOEn."
Mme. Boulanger, who is living nt Ver
sailles, ttas overcome with grief when in
formed of her husband's tragic death in the
cemetery of Ixellex. She f.Untcd within a
short time after hearing tho sad news, and
is nt present very much depressed in spirits.
Tho suicide of General Boulanger is dis
tinctly recognized in Paris as a victory for
the Kepnblic, and an acknowledgment of
allure by the man who led the struggle for
its overthrow. A Berlin dispatch says that,
while nothing is said that commits high offi
cials to an expression on tho subject, the
news of the suicide was evidently not grati
fying in Government circles, it being looked
upon as tho disappearance of a man who
had not yet exhausted his ability to injure
France. In St. Petersburg, on the other
hand, tho news was regarded as that of a
French victory.
THE XEVfS IX PABIS.
A cable dispatch from-Paris says: Prac
tically tho only news feature of tho news
papers of this city to-day is tho suicide of
General Boulanger. Mjiny members of tho
so-called Boulangist party are convincod, or
say they are convinced.-'that General Bou
langer's retirement from France was due to
tho influence of Mmc. Bonnemnin had over
him, and whom they do not scruple to call
very hard names for what they term her
-cowaraice ana -jove oi ease.' nut in
Bpito of these facts it seems to bo certain
that Mme. de Bonncmain had received sup
posedly trustworthy information that tho
life of General Boulanger was in actual
danger when she persuaded liim to fly from
France.
It is also admitted that thougn placed in
nn awkward and difficult position Mme. do
Bonnemain was both liked and respected by
almost all her intimato friends. Her devo
tion to the cause of General Boulanger as
absolute and unremitting, and he seems to
have fully recognized this, for when follow
ing her coffin to the grave General Boulanger
repeated somberly to three friends who ac
companied him, "She was all I had left, and
now she also is taken from me."
Boulanger said he desired to bo buried be
side Mine, de Bonnemain, with her photo
graph and a lock of her hair in the coffin
and his n edding ring on his finger. General
Boulanger'b secretary asserts that of late
his employer had had a consumptive, wasted
appearance with a hectic nush on his
cheeks. He says that during recent months
the General spent an hour daily in destroy
ing letters and papers.
HEBREWS HOT THE ONLY VICTIMS.
A Fanatic Hatred and Persecution of All
Foreigners In Russia.
Londojt, Oct. 1 Ponltney Bigelow, of the
Xew York Canoo Club, who in company with
Alfred Parsons and Mr. Frank D. Miliett has
been making a long canoo trip in Southern
Europe, -has returned after three months'
absence. In an interview in regard to his
tour of Southern ltussla, Mr. Bigelow says:
"Tho situation of affaire in Russia, so far as
the anti-foreign crusade is concerned, is
more serious than reported. Tho anti
Hebrew crusade is only a small portion of a
general movement against foreigners in
Kussia. Tho Hebrews are, perhaps, the
lightest sufferers. Germans, Poles, all non-
memuers ui uie nuasiuu wiurcu, uru perse
cuted." "'There is no particular edict issued
against us,' said ono proprietor-farmer,
speaking to me on this subject, 'but we nie
persecuted in a thousand ways. Xo one will
buy our property or we would seek homes
elsewhere. Evon to speak Gorman is nn
offense. I was at the rail re-id station tho
other day saying goodby to a friend. AVc
were both Germans and naturally we spoke
to each other in German. Some officials who
h card nscamouptQus.lnterposed rudely and
said: This is Kussia and not Germany. It will
bo well for you to remember that." The
situation In Poland is worse. Brutal and
determined efforts have been made to Hus
sianize that country until the Poles are
rendered desperate. Xo one, unless he be
longs to tho orthodox Greek Church, is
allowed to manage any factory, mill or simi
lar business. He must import and pay a
Russian to be tho nominal head of suoli a
concern. As fast as Poles are drafted into
the army they are transported to tho most
eastern parts or the empire, whilo Poland
to-day is garrisoned by a force or 300,000
Russians."
HINTS AT A BIG SEHSATI0N.
The Emigration Commissioners Say Their
Ilevelatlons Will Hardly Bo Believed.
Br-nus, Oct. 1. Colonel John Weber nnd
Dr. Walter Kempster, the United States
Commissioners who nro inquiring Into tho
emigration question' in Europe, have left for
Bromen in order to take part in the confer
ence of steamship company representatives.
In an interview with Colonel Weber and Dr.
Kempster, those gentlemen said that for the
past month or so they had been staying in
Russia and that they found that the condi
tions affecting emigration there' were of
such a gravo and peculiar character that
they did not feel warranted in speaking
upon them except in the form of an official
report accompanied by corroborative evi
dence, without which their statements
might be regarded as incredible.
The Commissioners have been personally
hearing the views of people, competent' to
express an opinion on the subject, and also
examining certain districts In regard to
crop prospects. They saw sufficient to
prove to them that the cold weather and
rain had seriously injured all tho crop?, and
that a period or great distress was certain.
In other parts of Europe tho Commissioners
found that emigration had only assumed
normal proportions. Tho principal causes
for desiring to oinigrate are. besides tho de
sire to better their condition, compulsory
mllitarv service, excessive taxation, low
wages and information as to the superior
condition of the United States derived nl-
most entirelyfrom relatives anfl friends
who have aireaay emigrated.
BOMBS FOR AN EMEEROR.
AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTESITT TO MUK
DEU AUSTRIA'S KULEK
By Placing Bombs "With Time Fuse Be
neath a Hallroad Bridge Tho Explo-
.. slon Occurs Before the Imperial Train
Arrives Sympathy for the Victim.
Viexxa, Oct. 1. The following sensa
tional story comes from Prague, where
Emperor Francis Joseph has just arrived:
During the night an attempt was made.with
a dynamite bomb, to blow up the railroad
bridge at Rosenthal, a suburb of Beichen
berg. This outrage is said to have occurred
shortly before the Emperor's train was to
pass over the bridge. Some railroad watch
men, it is said, saw the would-be assassins
as they were on the point of attaching the
bomb to the bridge structure.
The official investigation shows that two
bombs charged with nitroglycerine were
placed in tho cutter or draining portion of
tho tunnel of tho bridge. Attached to theso
bombs was a time fuse, evidently calculated
to causo their explosion at the moment the
imperial train was passing the spot. Tho
would-be assassins seem, however, to havo
miscalculated tho timo tiio train was to pass
near tho bombs, or else they were nt fault as
tho length of life of the fuse used. In any
case, the fue acted at about 1130 r. x. Wed
nesday, before the Imperial train even drew
near tho dangerous location.
The explosion displaced tho masonry
above and about the bridge tunnel nnd dis
turbed tho Toadbod, hut did not affect the
bridge structure. The railroad officials, who
had been attracted to tlio scene of -the ex
plosion, after making a thorough examina
tion of both the bridge and the roadbed, set
agangofmen at work upon the latter and
soon had it in a state of good repair. Conse
quently, when tho Imperial train passed at
7 o'clock this morning, thcro was llttlo orno
traco of the explosion. Xo arrests have
been made. It is now officially admitted
that explosive bombs havo been used along
tho line of the Emperor's Journey.
The Emperor received an ovation at
Relehenberg when the people becamo awaro
of tho bomb explosions. Replving to nn ad
dress presented to him by the'Burgomaster,
the Emperor said that he took tho keenest
interest in Bohemia, and that he would do
all ho could to promote the prosperity of
that country. The Emperor has received a
number or inquiries by telegraph, notably
one from tho German Emperor and another
from the King of Italy.
A dispatch from Heichenberg says tho
commission of inqniry has discovered 13
bombs on tho Rosenthal Railway bridge, an
intelligence which lias hcightcnedthoJBusa
tlon caused by this morning's news.
Bad Italian Finances.
Rome, Oct. L The Italian pross, withouj
regard to party, has been greatly occupied
lately with the criticisms of the London
Times on Italian finances based upon its cor
resDondenco from Rome. Many papers havo
clamored for the expulsion of the correspon
dent from Italy, but it has been officially
annonnced that tho Ministry will take no
action. Tho facts clearly show that tho
correspondent was substantially accurate.

Wealth Was Enormous.
AN ESTATE OP $25,000,000 LEFT.
The love Eomance of His Jouth That
Darkened His Future life.
QUEERFKEAK TOWARD THE GRAND ABMI
rurECTAI. TELEOBAM TO TOE DISPATCn.t
Newt-out, Oct. 1. In a modest villa
residence on Narragansett avenue lie there
mains of Edmund 1L Schcrmerhorn, a citi
zen of Newport, whose wealth far exceeds
that of any other man who had a legal resi
dence here in the history of the city. He
was a recluse and a miser. He has not been
out of his house for years, the last occasion
being when he went to a Memorial Day
celebration.
Mr. Schcrmerhorn was of the old Knick
erbocker family of that name, and inher
ited a great deal of wealth. He has prop
erty scattered all over the city of New
York, it is said, besides a personal estate of
many millions in the best of bonds. Men
who knew him as well as it was possible to
know him sav that his estate cannot be
worth less than 525,000,000.
He came to Newport some 35 years ago,
and it is not believed that he has missed be
ing here a single summer since. Nearly 2G
years ago, when the rate of taxation was
considered vary high in the city of New
York, he decided to become a permanent
resident and a voter of this city, and here
he has been ever since.
A LOVE BOMAXCE IX IT.
Mr. Schermerhorn was not always a re
cluse and a miser. Many years ago he fell
in love with a beautiful New York girl, a
member of an old Knickerbocker family.
Her relatives wanted her to marry the head
of another Knickerbocker family, and they
had their way. It is said that the disap
pointment in his love affair caused melan
cholia, which increased with vears. He told
some of his intimate friends that he would
never marry, and he did not.
Ho rarely went out into society, and finally
withdrew from outside life altogether, and
became practically a recluse. It is this
phase of his life that made him at times the
most talkcd-about man in Xewport. His
house on Xarragansett avenue bus been for
him a sort of self-selected prison, for he has
not left his room for a longtime. The last
occasion was some years ago on Memorial
Day. It came about in this way:
INTEREST IN THE GKAXD ARMY.
In the autumn previous he sent for one of
Xewport's ex-Mayors, who used to transact
some business with him, and nearly took
away his visitor's breath by the announce
ment that he desired to do something to
show an interest in the Grand Army and Its
work. Ho had been thinking this thing
over, he said, and had come to the con
clusion that he would buy a large lot in tho
isianu cemetery anu tnercon erect a monu
ment that would be worthy of the memory
or the Xewport patriots who went hence to
serve their country during the civil war.
From such a man as Schcrmerhorn tho
offer was considered n marvelous one. for
weeks and months he had Grand Army of
ficials dancing attendance upon him. By
nnd by the local reporters were told to pre
pare for an extraordinary piece of news, and
it took the form of the announcement of
what Mr. Schermerhorn intended to do.
XO MONUMENT FROM HIM.
no bought a small lot and people began to
snicker. Ho gave it to the Grand Army, hut
ho never gave them a monument and is be
lioved to have expressed regret that he
could not get the lot back. The few hun
dreds which he gave for it wore too much
for his miserly.mind. no never came out of
tho house again. Ills houso Is plainly fur
nished. Every crack and crevice were
closed as tight as a drum nntii sometimes
the servants had to sit out of doors for a bit
of fresh air even in the dead of winter.
He did everything by rule. At a certain
hour in the evening, never varying a mtn-,
uto, ho would wind his watch. He was so
methodical that he did precisely the sarao
tiling at the same time every day. Of late
years Mr. Schermerhorn appears to. have
bent what energies he possessed to the
piling up of great wealth, and ho has suc
ceeded. How he has disposed of it Is not
known, Dut his nttorneys. Strong & Cad
wallader, of Xew York, mado his will.

MORE WHEAT CIRCULARS.
OXE FROM THE FORMER. SOURCE, AN
OTHER FROM DOXNELLY. '
Neither Is the Official Utterance or .the
Farmers' Alliance Ignatius Donnelly
Asks Farmers to Hold Their Grain for a
Month Figures Given.
St. Paul, Oct. 1. Two more "hold-your-crop"
circulars arc out. The first is
from Ignatius Donnelly, President of the
Minnesota Alliance, who urges farmers to
hold their wheat for 30 days longer. In it
he says: "I think every intelligent man in
Minnesota knows that wheat is now selling
at far below its actual value, bnt the Alli
ance, as an organization, has not taken the
responsibility of giving any advice on the
subject, believing it to be outside their
function to do so and a hazardous experi
ment to make in any official way; but it is
very clear that if nbt a bushel of wheat is
sold in Minnesota by the farmers during the
next 30 days the wheat pits of Chicago,
New York and London would be full of
dead bears and the farmers would get for
their wheat crop what it is really worth.
"Sell potatoes, barley, rye, anything else.
Stand on your creditors for a time. Keep
on ploughing, but don't sell any wheat foV
a month, and see what will be the result. I
don't speak in behalf of the Alliance, but in
my individual capacity."
The State, the Alliance organ, will come
out Friday with another circular. Its con
tents arc much the same as those of the last
one. This one simply takes up the wheat
situation where the other left oft. The crops
of the ten years from 1889 to 1890 are taken
as the basis of computation, and the cir
cular holds that there is danger of export
ing too much wheat. "We raise G2,000,000
uusueis mure muu me average ui muse icu
years, but we consume 46,000,000 bushels
more, leaving only f 16,000,000 bushels more
for export.
The circular continues : "We have now
exported 50,000,000 bushels of our new crop
and have 93,000,000 to spare, for 50,000,000
of which charters have been made at pres
ent. We export at the rate of 6,000,000
bushels a week, and our surplus will be ex
hausted if we keep this up till Christmas.
If we sell our wheat to Europe cheapwe
will have extraordinary high wheat prices
here with a moderate boom, or we will have
moderately high prices with an extraordi
nary boom if we hold our wheat for high
prices now. If we succeed in raising the
price of. cereals to the point the situation
justifies, the boom in business will be un
precedented, and the workingmen will hava
the benefit of it like everyone else." The
circular then argues that higher prices for
wheat does not necessarily mean more ex
pensive bread.
ONLY FOB M0BAL EFFECT.
The Cruiser San Francisco Ordered to Pro
ceed to Chile at Once.
Washington, Oct. 1. During the
afternoon Commodore Ilanmy was in con
sultation with Secretary Tracy and the re.
suit, as announced later in the day, was an
order for the cruiser San Francisco, at
Payta, Pern, to proceed immediatelyto
Colloo and thence to Valparaiso. If nee'es
sary.further instruction to govern the course
of the vessel when she arrives at Valparaiso
will be sent to her when she touches at
Callao.
Secretary Tracy declined absolutely to
give his -reason for sending the ship back to
Chile and refuses to discuss the' case. Act
ing Secretary Wharton was asked to make a
statement of the actual facts in the present
complication, or at least to give to the pub
lic some assurance that the situation Ts not
as critical as it is represented to-be -in some-
publications.
The Acting Secretary, h6wever, did not
feel at liberty to say one word upon' the
subject. Still there "is reason to Delieve
that no further overt acts have been com
mitted bv the Chilean Junta, and that the
return ot the San Francisco to Chile is
simply in pursuance of the intention
formed several days ago, to give moral effect
to Minister Egan's position by the presence
of Admiral Ilrown and his flagship at Val.
paraiso.
A BIG FINANCIAL FAILXTBE.
F. H. Tenner & Co., of Xew York, at Least
Temporarily Embarrassed.
New York, Oct. 1. F. H. Venner &
Co. have an nounced their suspension in
the Stock Exchange. It is believed that the
firm will be able to resume without loss to
creditors, and it is said that the suspension
was made in order to enable the firm to
come to terms with certain creditors who
were demanding the immediate payment of
Jpaus.
A dispatch from Boston says: The sus
pension of F. H. Venner & Col has caused
general surprise here. The firm has had
several loans mature of late, and has been
unable to obtain money upon time or to
have its notes renewed. All its loans are
said to be amply secured by collateral, and
it is said at theBoston office that no cred
itor can lose a dollar, and that the suspen
sion is only a temporary matter.
A Great Demand for Threshers.
St. Taul, Oct. 1. A demand for
threshers continues throughout the North

Pacific traffic departments are daily in re
ceipt of appeals from along their lines. By
to-morrow the Great Northern will have
sent 20 outfits. The Northern Pacific is
working in a similar way, while the com
mittee of the Jobbers' Union has olready
received encouraging reports from the men
sent out several days ago.
An Eccentric French Woman's Will.
Pabis, Sept. 30. An eccentric lady in
the South of France named Cabouret has
left $1,600,000 to any Frenchman who pene
trates further than anyone has before into
the wilds of Africa with 500 or more com
patriots, on the condition that one-half the
caravan returns safely. The lady was a
fervent admirer of Cardinal Lavigerie, and
was anxious to suppress the slave trade.
Her relatives dispute the will.
