Nhortage la Foreign Potato Crop Ball mated at 1.000,000,000 Haehel -I'rlr of Cora Alao Itlalug. Chicago, Aug. 80. Today, for the first time since the present bull cam paign in wheat wa started, the price of September wheat sold above the dol lar mark in Chicago. Ten minute af ter the opening, (1.03 wa offered, an advance over yesterday' closing price of 8' cents. Kven at that tempt ing figure, the bull clique refused to let go of their holdings. Knough wheat came on the market to break the price to 08 7-8 cent by the time the closing bell sounded, but the broker who were engineering the deal stoutly denied that it came from them. There was, perhaps, a shade of ma licioiisneaa in the war they forced the shorts to hid up. It wa currently re ported on Monday, when price broke ao sharply, that the pool wa forced to put up (100,000 in margin. They certainly had their revenge today. The rise was plainly due to the clique, which ia now swelled, by rumor, to in clude Joseph Loiter, George It. French, Allen, Grier & Co., and James Keene, of Wall street. The only leader, George French, who appeared distinct ly alxire the surface, makes no secret that he haa a line of 5,000,000 bushels of September wheat. There wa not much more than 1,100,000 bushel of contract wheat in Chicago, with hardly anything coming, and an immenao short lino of cush wheat Bold for ex Kiit. Thia ia the situation as it now play into the hands of the bull com bine. The midden rise of September wheat was not reflected in any other large market in the country, with the excep tion of Minneapolia, where Septemlier bounded from 93 cent to (1. St. Louis advanced 2 cent at one time, but relapsed to the opening prices for December. Although statistics were not given much attention, one item of foreign new had a distinct inlluence. The foreign sitato crop shortage is estimat ed at tho total of 1,000,000,000 bush els, which wu expected to increase the demand for American wheat Its influ ence was especially felt in December wheat, which ia not supposed to be un der the thumb of any clique. Corn ml provisions were Ixtth affected by the excitement in wheat. In corn, the trading wa cnomrons, and although an advance of 1 to 1 cent wa recorded, tho feeding was very strong at the close. Tiie closing for provisions wa 15 to 20 cent higher. DOOM OF TORPEDO SEALED. "Mires" Ma? Modern ' fCRUSHATST. MICHAELS NEWS FROM THE ISLANDS. to of in The Women Merrliod. Pittsbug, Aug. 80.

The steamer Mariposa arrived thia morning from Sydney, via Honolulu, with the following Hawaiian advices: The Hawaiian, government has hot yet received any answer from Japan regarding the offer to refer the immi gration trouble to arbitration. There is no change in the situation here. The China registry case was Anally submitted to Judge Perry for a decision August 10, and an early decision is contidently exxcted, as the matter will in all probability be appealed to the supreme court. It i predicted that the question of the big steamer's regis try will he settled be lore she reaches hero again in October. The principal point uhui which the Hawaiian govern ment rules is the question of McFar lanu's oitiscnahip, ho having been born on tho island of British parents.

The Standard's oorrcMUidont at San Sebastian says: "I learn that Spain has intimated her willingness to make considerable, re duction iu tho contemplated West In dian tarilTs, in order to develop tho trado of Cuba w ith tho Cnited State. She was willing to negotiate a reciproc ity treaty when the Dingier tariff came into force, but thu United States re ceived advances coldly, liccausu it wanted the Cuban question settled first. Indue I, Spain ia now aware that American diplomacy will soon raise other and more iuimrtant questions be fore commercial questions are likely to bo mooted." Bevolullonls Warfare. Chicago, Aug. 80. A snull bras projectile, measuring four by one and one-quarter Inches, was thrown in the lake off Van Buren street from the government pier, and at a depth of five feet it exploded. A volume of water iuted 25 feel into the air, and dead fish bobbed op to the surface and floated alajut, mute testimony to tho detructivenes of the exphaiive. The name of thin explosive, which is the diaeovery of two Chicago men, i mirex. From recent exjierimeut ita inventor claim it ia not a wild state ment to ay that mirex will revolution ize tnislern warfare. Unlike the marine torn do tho most perfect destroying projectile known to naval engineera, mirex, a compara tive! ainull t,r:im runing, call be thrown from caniioii to any distance desired under 20 miles, and, dropping into the water at the side of a man of war, will sink to a stated depth and ex plode with annihilating results. .No wire ha to be conn.- ted with the new projectile, as is the cane with the sub marine torpedo. The mirex projectile does not pierce the steel armor of the gunboot, hut settles in the water to thu depth of 6, 10, 15 20, or any number of feet the otsjralor may wish, and then explodes: It discoverers are Hermann G. Peffer, a salesman for Browning, King 6c Co., and William S. Darley, con nected with the Clcnfonier Hosiery Company. They are not exiiort chein inta, and mirex in ita perfect state ia the result of some luck and a good ileal of hard work and enterprise. John II. Edcliuun, a wealthy former Philadelphian, bus such faith in thu virtue o( mirex as a destroyer of ships and mivies that he ia bucking it liber ally with hia money. Peffer ia a modest man of 211 year, and in sieaking of the explosive, said: "It is neither liquid not solid, nor ia it a iwder. While experimenting with it Darley and myself smoke our plea and handle it as we would so much sand. It ia an odd and wonder ful mixture, and ita name signifies nothing. It explodes at any depth we desire, the explosion de!nding on tho quantity and quality of tho coin igni tion we place in the projectile. We ate now having a gun model constructed in Chicago, and within six weeks thia camion will 13 finished and presented to the United State navy depart nt. It will throw a projectile eight inches long and three and a half inches in di ameter. This will blow into atoms any ship that will flout in tho lake. Each one of these shells will cost aUmt (JO, vastly cheaper than tnredoa now in use and far more accurate and de structive." Mr. Darley ia only 19 years of a,'e. lie will not ilivuigo the character or nature of the new explosive. The projectile used in these experi ments is about the site of a giant lire cracker, and the ends of tho cylinder are closed with a substance that looks like tinfoil. Mr. Darley was once connected w ith the navy department. LONG CHASE FOR A MURDERER A Blockade Equaling That at Skaguay.
