ROUNDED HORN WITH HOBOES. WHEAT LOCALLY. Milling Concerns Paying 672 Cents to Fill Their Demands. The extraordinary prico for wheat in this market last evening maintains at this hour, though it Is down two cents In Chicago. Tho close relation between this prlco and the milling In dustry is Illustrated by the fact that the top for wheat yesterday and to day in the Palouse country was and is but 63 cents. Only in the Imme diate neighborhood of the exporting mills was the extraordinary figure of S7 cents or oven approximately that figure reached. The foundation causes for the raise are said to be found in the fact that the heavy exporters, to meet the for eign demands, had purchased every thing in sight and forced the large milling concerns to put up the prices locally to fill their own demands. Of course should there possibly occur Remarkable Voyage of a Sailing Ves sel With a Crew of Twenty. Green Hands. The ship Ersklne M. Phelps arrived at Honolulu recently from Norfolk, Va., having broken all previous rec ords for sailing vessels from a north Atlantic port. She made the trip in 97 days, She "round the Horn' fiom BO south in the Atlantic to BO routh In the Pacific; in 11 days whereas the usual time is twice that, What added to the Interest of tho voyage wa3 that when the Phelps was well to sea tho captain discovered that nearly every man of his crow had shipped under false pretenses. Only one man In the 20 before the mast was a sailor. The rest were just plain "hoboes" who had palmed themselves off as sailors. The result was that the captain and mates had to take turns at the wheel and do most of the work aloft In a terrlblo squall off Cape Horn. says the New York Mall and Express, when the safety of tho shlD hunt: in the balance and all hands were called to save the ship, only six men came on deck, the others were lying below half dead with terror and seasick ness. Nevertheless the Phelps broke the record. I This ce Ieferated line of Perfumes, Toilet Water and Toilet Soaps are now nan died bv us. If you want something exquisitely nice, ask for Colgates.
