Grgat Rellet to Fariners Afforaea “hy Thin Unexplained Phenomenon. For some cause, which has not as yet become fully understood, but which is be- Neved to have been inspired by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, and approved by the magnates who are associated with him in the great systems of railroads under the control of the syndicate of which Mr. Morgan is the head, a movement is in progress which promises to be of immense benefit to the farmers of the west and southwest, and, In fact, they have already been assisted out of their financial troubles to a great extent thereby. It is stated that during the last two weeks not less than 35,000,000 bushels of grain which had becn locked up for a long time in the grararies in the west and southwest, and for which the owners have been unable to find a market, have been contracted for by eagtern houses for shipment abroad, and it is said that every steamship destined for a foreign port now at Boston, New Ycrk, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Newport News, or which is to arrive at either of those ports previous to October 1, has been ckartered to carry the grain across the ocezn. ‘The movement of the grain has already begun, and the Baltimore and Ohio, Chesa- peake and Ohio, Norfolk and Western and other lines of this section are daily trans- porting large trainloads of cereals to the Atlantic seaboard. Not much of this traffic passes through Washington, but the roads centering here are none the less benefited. ‘As a result of these purchases, there has not been for years so much activity in the foreign grain trade generally as there is at present. The demand {s not only for wheat, but for corn, oats, rye, barley and flaxseed as well, and of the latter 1,000,000 bushels have been taken within the last few days at New York alone. ‘There has been much curiosity as to the real cause for this sudden increase in the demand abroad for grain. So far us the public here have been advised through the newspapers, there has been no marked change in the condition of affairs in Eng- land and on the continent to create the present extraordinary Gemand. There has, it 1s said, been considerable wet weather there, but this was not of such an exten- sive nature as to materially reduce the ag- gregate of grain raised, and many persons have arrived at the conclusion that Euro- pean buyers have been convinced from as- surances received to that effect from New York that the low prices which have pre- vailed for some time past make this a good period to stock up,'and they have taken advantage of the recent depression to buy in large quantities and yet have not ad- vanced prices mater There is, however, in tfie opinion of rail- road men, no doubt but what the recent cuts in rail rates Maveéenabled exporters on this side to cable some very tempting offers abroad, as the reduced rates have caused a very free movement of grain on all roads except those under the jurisdic- tion’ of the Joint Traffic Association, on which open cuts ha¥e not up to this time been reported, although-dt is rumored that rates have been maniplated by some of those lines also. i — Italians Want Satisfaction, ROME, August 28The newspapers de- mand that the goverfiment insist upon reparation from Brazil for the outrages upon Italian subjects in, Brazil, and assert that unless Brazil grants the demands italy ought to employ force. a Honored by the Czar. VIENNA, August 28—The czar has con- ferred the Newski order on Count Golu- chowski, the Austrian minister for foreign affairs, and has decorated Count Badeni, the Austrian premier; Baron Banffy, the Hungarian premier, and the other ministers with the order of the white eagle. SS Statue Republic Burned. CHICAGO, August 23—Early this morn- ing the statue “Republic,” which stood at the grand basin in Jackson Park during the Columbian exposition, was burned by order of the South Side Park commission- ers. The figure cost about $25,000, and was sixty feet high, standing on a pedestal forty feet in height. BAD DAY FOR LAWYERS The Profession Finds Few Fees in the Police Court, JUDGE SCOTT =WAS IMPARTIAL Dealt Out Even-Handed Justice to All Comers. TEN CASES HEARD At 9 o'clock this morning four men and two women occupied seats in Judge Scott’s dock, and there was only one man in the audience. There were more lawyers in the court room than prisoners and spectators, but there was not much for them to do, for money was scarce, and most of the victims were strangers, who did not fully under- stand how they could employ a lawyer without being able to make an advance payment, But subsequent developments showed that nore of them needed legal advice, for Judge Scott acted for both sides, and saw that even-handed justice was dealt. Mary Young, a young colored woman, who had rever before been in the toils, ap- peared at the head of the procession, and she was so badly frightened that she scarcely recognized where she was or for what she had been arrested. “You are charged with disorderly con- duct,” read the clerixs, and she guessed she was guilty. Colored Policeman Stewart, recently ap- pointed, was in court ready to tell what Mary had done, but he was not given an opportunity to speak. “What have you to say about this care, Mary?" the woman was asked. sir,” a nswered the frightened wo- man; “I don’t got nothin’ to say.” “Enter up-a fine of one dollar,” the judge said, and the broken-hearted little woman went back to the prison cell. “But, your honor,” said a man in court, “this poor woman has never been here be- fore, and she says she was in a woman's back yard and didn’t do anything wrong 2 ood, hard-working woman, and it would be a pity to send her down. “In consideration of the good name given .” said the court, “I think she should ent down, and the case is dis- A Gay Time in “Boston.” There was a gay time in Georgetown's “Boston” Sunday night, and a young col- ored men, one cf the participants In the midnight trouble on the towpath, appeared in the toils under the name of Ja’ Mickey. Policeman Seymour, who arrested him, charged that he had disturbed the quiet of the usually disorderly section. “I was there,” said the prisoner, when arraigned, “but I had a right to do what did.” We ed. “Abcut 1 o'clock in the morning,” said Policeman Sey: “near $id and Canal streets there w a fight. When I got there this man throwing rocks at an- other man.” Did he strike him?” ‘o, sir, but he came near striking me. He ran and got away, and it was not until last night that I caught him.” “And is that all he did?” “Is that all?” asked the surprised police- man. “I believe he was cursing and swear- ing before I got there.” “I ain't going to deny throwings the rocks,” said Jim, ‘’cause I certainly did throw them. I was standing on the corner talking to my girl, when another man picked her up and threw her on her head.” “Did he break her hea Mr. Pugh nted to know. ‘No, he didn’t break her head,” answered Jim, “but I wasn’t going to stand there and let him hurt her, and so I recked him.” “Who was the girl?” the court asked. “Miss Virgie Jackson.” “So, then, you acted in self-defense?” “That's what I did, judge,"’ he responded. “You see, the other man had a knife in his poeket, and I wasn’t going to get cut if I coul help it.” “Young man,” said the court, “your ac- tion is very commendable. If your girl had been treated in this way it was your avty to protect her, and while stone throwing is ordinarily dangerous, I am not going to fine you. The charge is dis- mirsed.”* “Thank you, judge,” said Jim, who made haste to return to “Boston” to tell Miss Jackson of his good fortune. Lilies in His Path. Special Policeman Moffatt, who joes duty in the Agricultural grounds, made an ar- rest last night because he saw a colored resident passing through the grounds on his way home with a bunch of lilies. “He came across the grass from tl ll see about that,” the court remark- wi rection of the lake,” said the officer, th something in his hand, and started- toward 13th street. I walked over and saw he bad lilies, and so I arrested hin “How ny biossoms did he have “Three, William Morris, the defendant, told the court that he had not taken the lilies from nd, but had found them on the path. w someching on the pata and kick- he said, ‘and then picked up the bundle and found It contained the ilies. I've lived here a long time, and this is my first trouble. Judge, it’s evidently known that I wouldn't walk in the water and get fi rs.” “Water was dripping from the lilies when I fcund him,” interrupted the special ofti- cer. “That may be true,” said the judge, “but I'm _in doubt about the case and the de- fendant is discharged.” A colored boy from Logan place named George Dover was in the procession on a charge of disorderly conduct, and although he entered a piea of guilty his demeanor was that of an orderly boy who had not been in the habit of getting in trouble. “He is guilty,” said the policeman who arrested him, “because he was cursing and swearing and raising a racket in Logan place, but I hope you won't fine him. He is a good, hard-working boy, and I'll thank you if you'll take his personal bonds. Mr. Pugh thought no thanks were w: “If he’s guilty,” said the prosecutor, “he ought to be fined, and if not, he should be discharged.” The court imposed a fine of $1 or three days, and George went back in the cage. ited. Costly Consideration for a Horse. Then George Coakley, a youngster, ap- peared in court to answer a charge of vio- lating the poiice regulations because he had driven across a sidewalk in Brookland while hauling dirt to the Catholic Church there. Father De Wolf, pastor of the church, was in court to look after the boy’s inter- ests. It appeared that the little fellow drove over the foot pavement to save the horse, as to go in the rear would have necessitated a hard pull up a hill. “I suppose where there's a violation,” said tae court, ‘there should be a i posed. Enter up a fine of $1, Mr. Clerk. Father De Wolf remonstrated against the imposition of the fine, but Mr. Pugh told him he was too late, and he paid the boy's fine. . A Scorcher Saved Four Dollars. Archie Tisdale, a bicycle rider, appeared in court on a charge of fast riding, be- cause he thought as a wheelman he had the same rights on the street as the cable cars. “I gained two squares in twenty on a cable car,” was his statement, “and if that’s a violation of the law, I'm guilty.” Policeman Duvall of the’ bicycle squad related his side of the case, and on his complaint the court imposed a fine of $1. ‘Thus the wheelman saved $4 by standing trial. Sadle Norris was on hand when her case was called. She had been arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, because com- plaint had been made against her. “But, your honor,” said the clerk, “the witnesses ere not here.” “Then let the case be dismissed for want of_prosecution.”” Sadle's collateral was thereupon returned and she went home. W. H. King failed to answer a charge of riding without a light on his bicycle, and his collateral was forfeit DO NOT WEAR IMPERMEABLE AND TIGHT- and Jou will not be bald: BLAIR LEE CHOSEN Oongress by Maryland Demo- Nominated for 3 crats. Action of the Convention at Oak! —A Candidate Pop Wai The democrats of the sixth congressional district of Maryland yesterday at Oakland nominated Blair Lee of Montgomery county for Congress. Charles M.. Miller of Swanton was made chairman and Lewis D. Seyster secretary. During the absence of the committees cn organization Maurice Talbott of Montgom- ery county spoke upon the political issues. He said the democratic platform was typic- ally Jeffersonian. When the roll of counties was called John W. Avirett of Allegany county arose and stated that Allegany had no candi- Gate, and that he therefore placed befor the convention the name of Mr. Blair Lee of Montgomery county as the candidate for Congress. The nomination was seconded by N. C. Prowning of Garrett county, and was made unanimous. Mr. Lee was backed by Frederick and Montgomery counties, and when Garrett, by a vote of 14 to 4, decided in the prelini- nary caucus to vote for him, the Williams advocates yielded, seeing that it was im- possible to secure his nomination. A Free Silver Platform. The following resolutions were unani- mously adopted: “The democratic party, true to its history as the representative of the common people and the defender and advocate ct legi. ulon calculated to carry out the | government based upon the doctrine of guarantecing to all the people an unquali- fied right to liberty 2 he pursuit of hap- piness, give their unqualified indorsement Blair Lee. to the platform adopted by the national democratic convention recently held in Chi- cago, and we pledge ourselves to prosecuts an active and earnest campaign with the 1 nd purpose of giving an overwhelm- ing majority to Bryan anda Sewail in ryland. “We condemn with all the emphasis we have power to expre attempt of the republ other corporations of steal the name of democracy and det its pure history by making it the champion of that element who, in their selfish hunger for power over their fellows, have eve been oppresstv “We especially indorse that plank of the Chicago platform which free and unlimited coinage of s' gold. “We believe the demonetization of silve> twenty-three years ago was an act which, more than any other piece of legislation ever enacted, has decreased the value of the products ‘of labor until we now witness the spectacke of discontent and starvation in the midst of bountiful harvests.” Comment on the Convention. The Baltimore American correspondent Says: “When the delegates arrived it was generally supposed that Ferdinand Wil- liams of Allegany had a walk-over, tut this turned out to be wide of the mark. Allegany and Washington were for Mr. Williams, but the Montgomery delegation presented Mr. Blair Lee, and Frederick gave him her support, thus leaving Garrett county to decide the con Some hard work was done by Allegany to secure enough votes for Mr. Williams.” The Sun’s special sa ‘Friends of Mr. Ferdinand Wiliams in Cumberland sa that his defeat for the corgressional nomi- nation was due, tin a great degree, to the influence of Senator Gorman, w quietly but effectively used against Internal Revenue Collector Asa Wi!

From the New York Post. Your note on a new art of walking in- troduced by an officer In the French army recalls to my mind the fact that this meth- od, which you describe as coasisting “in not fully straightening up the leg at the moment when it is perpendicular to the ground, and in dragging out the leg that remains behind to its full length,” is uni- versally practiced by the cargo carriers of Central America when on a long march. I «rcountered this first In the Cuicuina dis- trict of Nicaragua. We had reached the head of canoe navigation and were pre- paring for our journey on foot across the mountains. My wife ani I started cut alone upon the trail in advance of our carga- dores, who had not yet arranged their packs. We had gone less than half a mile when we saw a haif-breed advancing wita a rapid gliding motion which was neither a walk nor a run.
