Chicago, Jan. 28. ''Baslnff ur fig
urea on tne government agures, we
think we now own verT bushel of
I surplus wheat in this country," satd
G. . French, the active member of
the Leiter combination, who was
speaking for himself and Joseph Lei'
ter, the head of the "clique." He
said: V
"According to the most reliable eitl
mates obtainable, we .thing there is
not more than 15,000,000 bushels of
wheat unaccounted :for. Scattered
oyer different parts of 'the country we
have holdings of at least that amount,
so we can saiely claim lo nave posses
......
sion of all the "urplus.?
Added to the government estimate
of 530,000,000 bushels 'for last year's
crop, the 30,000,000 iusbels carried
over from the crop of 1896 gave Mr.
French his basis of 560,000,000 as the
orieinal suddIv
This he proceeded to
1
disnoBe of as follows: i
Exported to date, 1,000,000 bush
x
els; estimated necessary for home con
sumption, 340,000,000; estimated neces
sary for seed, 60,000,000 bushels; mak
ing a total of 545,000,000 bushels com
fortably put away. The difference be
tween the original estimated supply
and the amount accounted for is 15,-
000,000 bushels. This Is the amount of
wheat which, according to Mr. French,
furnished the key to the situation and
on which the clique has put a price of
10 cents in advance of the Chicago
price for May wheat, whatever that
may be, from day to day.
'The situation is simply this," de
clared Mr. French. "Everything goes
to show that this country has sent
abroad more than its exportable sur
plus. We think wheat has been over-
exported to the extent of 15,000,000 or
20,000.000 bushels, and that the United
States is the country in which to sell."

McMlNVILLE, Or.. Jan. 30. Paul
Ducleos, a farmer living about 10 miles
southeast of . here, i was shot and in

years. At the coroner's inquest young

o'clock, and know the cause of his
death. I started to go bunting this
morning, going through the field to
the line between our place and that of
Mr. Mackey. I then went down the
hill by L. Baker's place. Here I saw
Ducleos approaching from the same
direction that I had come. When he
was within about 50 yards, he began
to abuse me, and - still came nearer,
swearing and threatening to kill me,
When he was close to me he pulled off
his gloves, or mittens, and began to
draw his gun. I tried to evade bim,
and said that I did not want to have
any trouble. Dujleos kept coming,
and then began to raise his gun. When
he had raised it to about the range of
my head, I Bred."
Trouble has existed between theDu
cleos and Clemmens families for a long
time,- and it nearly reached a climax
last fall during harvest, when Clem'
mens and his father and the two Du
cleos boys came near fighting. Since
then the bitterness has been more in
tense, and the Ducleos boys have pro
miscuously threatened the lives of the
two Clemmens men. Ducleos' pun
was found by his side, in full readi
ness lor snooting. The coronor's
jury returned a' verdict that Ducleos
come to his death from a gunshot
wound inflicted by Fred Clemmens,
the jury believed, in self-defense.

Vancouver, Jan. 31. The steamer

sections of Australia. Prostrations
from the heat are so numerous that

the same conditions prevail all oyer
the colony. The thermometer during
the day averages about 124 in the

Havana. Jan. 30. The sudden de
parture of Captain-General Blanco
from El Jucaro to Manzanillo, was
caused by a letter received from
Gomez in answer to his proposals of
peace, wherein Gomez says:
"I received your strange intimation
of a desire to meet me for the purpose
of personally notifying me ot the
following, offers:
That you are ready to place a
steamer at my disposal to transport
me to any port outside of Cuba, offer
ing me all the monetary resources I
may ask for expenses of the trip and
the maintenance of my family in
foreign land. 1 was so much astounded
hen I learned all this that I felt so
ashamed, more for you, General Blanco,
than for myself, that in the first
moments I was benumbed, knowing
not whether such a heinous proposal
could be a reality of a nightmare.
'Have I had my present age, fight
ing as I have done for 13 years for the
independence of Cuba, only that you
ehould believe that I would cover my
self with ignominy by accepting a
base reward of money from the Spanish
captain-general for a cowardly aban
donment of my army.
"Are you sane, Blanco?
"Do you not remember the blow of
the inachete that the Spanish assassin
inflicted at Punta Brava upon the soul
of my soul, the young and brave Fran
cisco Gomez?
'Do you think I can forgive that?
'You would better look for a steamer
for yourself, for you meed-it most.
I represent a revolution that is
stronger even after three years of bitter
war. You represent Spain, weaker
than ever, humiliated by the American
government, with only a limited time
to end the war.
While your cause has prejudice and
tradition as its only supports, the
cause of Cuba has fall sympathy the
world over, of every lover of justice
and liberty.'

FKENCH SYMPATHY FOB CUBA.
Aktramonte Herured Substantial Aid for
the Cause In Paris.
New York, Jan. 31. Dr. Sanchez
Agramonte, a general in the Cuban in
surgent army, has just arrived from
Europe, bringing $40,000 raised in
Paris for the Cuban cause. Dr. Agra
monte says that popular sentiment in
France is strongly in favor of the suc
cess of the Cubans.
'Among people of all classes," he
said, "there is a desire that Cuba be
free. The French government is re
strained from taking - any action in
favor of Cuba by the French interest
in Spanish bonds.
A part of my mission abroad was
to place before the Red Cross society
of the different nations the manner in
which our sick and wounded have
been treated in Cuba. I sent a man
ifesto to the Red Cross congress in
Vienna and talked with prominent
physicians and officials with a view of
inducing France and other nations to
bring pressure to bear upon Spain to
recognize our Red Cross organization
in Cuba. All that we want is to have
our wounded treated like those or
other nations."

Washington, Jan. 31.-The ways
and means committee decided this
morning, by a vote of 11 to 5, on party
lines, to report the Teller resolution
for payment of bonds in silver with
the recommendation that it be not
passed.
The committee met on special call
at 10;30 this morning, there being a
full attendance with the execption of
McMillin. democrat, of Tennessee.
Chairman Dingley at once brought
iorwaru tuts rmuuuuu, auu, iuuuui
discussion, Payne, of New York,
moved that it be reported to the house
with the recommendation that it be
not passed.' Bailey, of Texas, in be
half of the democrats, moved to amend
that it be reoorted with the recom
mendation that it pass.
A vote on the Bailey amendment
was first taken, resulting in Ks defeat,
bv a vote of 5 to 11.
On the Payne motion the Trwvioiw
vote was reversed, all th r.-pubiii'a?iS

TBI MTE OF HAWAII.
A Majority Has Hot Been Secured to Batlf y
the American Treaty.
Washington, Jan. 30. A careful
canvass discloses the fact that 57 votes
are said to be the high-water mark of
the Hawaiian annexation strength in
the senate. The opponents say that
tbe treaty will receive between 48 and
53 votes. If Senator Morrill adheres
to bis intention, the voting strength
will be 88, of which two-thirds would
be 59 votes, or one less than the num
ber required if he voted. The vote
yesterday on annexation admittedly
would be adverse, but as" the republi
cans bave lined up tbeir strength, it is
expected that Gorman and Teller will i
solidify tbe wavering democrats and
silver republicans. On these two sen
ators the fate of the treaty is said to
rest, it is tne reeling in the senate
that Hawaii is gaining by the delay in
coming to a vote.

THE CAMKIIOONSL
Country Tbtt Is Giving

Oer-
s African Territory About Wales. She
Ea-llaa Gorcrnnient Is Vitally Coav
earned The Dispute About
Its lloundarlea.
"Battle in the Cameroons," aays a re
cent cable. hat and where are tbe
Cameroon? Thin from the New York
Herald will elucidate a little:
The Cameroon is a territory on tbe
Bight of liiafru, West Africa, one
hundred and fifty thousand square'
miles in extent, and With an estimated
population of two millions. It has a
coast line of ono hundred and twenty..
miles between the Cam do river and the .
lliixlel Key, in bounded on the north
east by a treaty line running north
east to tho east of Yola, on the upper
Benuc, and on the bouIU by a line run- '
ninT inland, due cast from the month
of the Campo river, to about the me-
ridiun of longitude fifteen degrees east,
which may be regarded as the eastern
or inland limit of the so-called "pra
tectorate." In 11)2 there were one hundred ana '
sixty-six whites, of whom one hundred '
nil nine were German and thirty-one j
Kn.rli:.li. It became a Herman pro- ..
tectorr.te in 188-1, and ia plaeed under '
an: imperial governor, assisted by a .
chancellor, two secretaries and a local
counoil of throe representative tner-
chants. The country in fertile,- and,
numerous valuable African vegetable
productions grow in profusion. Plan?
tations of cacao and tobacco have been
farmed by a company, and numerous
factories carry on an active trade in,
Wory and palm oil. On January 1, -
1888, an import duty was imposed on
European goods, and from this the
revenue is mainly derived. The chief
town is Caineroons, and in the South
Datania, Bimbia and Bakundu Town ' '
are other important trading Btatlona,
and Aqua Town and Bell Town are the -
principal native settlements. ' The im
ports and export are quite large. .
In April last. Mr. Henry 31. Stanley .
wiotc to the peace association a letter
in which he attributed the increase of -trade
in 1803 at African ports under
German administration to the growing '
practice among Oerman merchants of
lmporthiR- Ipto Africa small arms and ,
ammunition. TTiestf mate rials we war,. ,
he said, were nol-1 to the slave traders
and do inestimable damage. Mr. Stan- .
ley inculpated also the 1'ortuguese in
his charges. ITc appealed to the Euro
pean nations to Eupprens the traffic in
arms carried n by the Germans and
Portuguese. Unless tui step be taken,:
be added, all efforts- to stop the slave
trade would be useless. -..
!ln February a German expedition.
which was under the command of
Frci!ierr von Stotten, proceeded' from
the t'::nusroonn coast np the river Sah-
ns".i to Balinga. whence it traveled to
the thickly populated district of Tikar
and reached Ngaudere and - Yola.
Treaties were concluded with the na
tive tribes in the districts passed
through. This reappearance on the
rnn-1, the ivreuz eitung pointed out.
was peculiar in view of the statement
made by members of the expedition
that Lake Tchad was thMr goal. It is
a fact, though at present an inexplica
ble one. that German expeditions fall
to reach the more easterly portions or
the Hinterland of the Cameroon. The . .
expedition returned in September.
IJii'fland and Germany bad a long
dispute about t!ie boundaries of the
Gamemons, which was settieu in May
last. The third section of the agree
ment reads: "The German colonial
administration engages not to allow
any trade settlements to- exist or be -
ere-ted on the right bank of the Kio ,
del Bey Creek or waterway. In like
manner the administration of the Oil '
rivers protectorate engages not to al
low any trade settlements to exist or ,
to be erected on the western bank of -the
I!altar;y peninsula from the first
creek below Arsibou's village to the
sea and eastward from this bank to '
the Rio del Rey waterway."
According to the German view the
new agreement is a purely fiscal one,
intended to enable the British and .
German administration to cope with,
the widespread smuggling, which waa -
especially detrimental to the Camer-
oons. There naa oeen no question oi
altering the frontier laid down by the
provisional agreement of 1890, which, .
in consequence of disagreement be
tween the two governments, left tbe
Rio del Rey out of count and settled
the frontier as a straight line running .
from the upper end of the waterway
to the rapids of the Cross river. But
this indefinite "upper end" baa uovr
been fixed as above set forth. ' Much -satisfaction
was expressed in Berlin at
the pledge given by tbe English gov- .
ernment not to allow trade settlements
on the Bakassy peninsula, which other
wise would have afforded an exoeUeat
base for contraband operation.
