Orders countermanding the order to the Fourth and Seventeenth infantry regi­ ments, United States army, to be in readi­ ness for field service in connection with the Indian troubles in Minnesota, have been issued by Col. Thomas F. Barr, act­ ing commander of the department of the lakes, after the receipt of the following telegram from Gen. Bacon: "Indian trou­ ble about ended by surrender of men wanted. Services of Seventeenth and Fourth iufantry will not be required." Bradstreet's says: "The dominant fea­ ture of the general business situation is unquestionably the active foreign demand for wheat, wheat flour, and indeed all our cereal products, and the business reported on this account during the last ten days seems worthy of rank with the best re­ corded in any corresponding period. Prices were quite strong, notable in this respect being all the cereals, lard, pork, cottolh, print cloth and raw sugar." Little change is noted in the iron and steel market. The general industrial situation continues fav­ orable, employment being quite general, particularly in the West, except in the glass industry, where a shut-down pend­ ing a wage scale settlement exists. Wheat (including flour) shipments for the week aggregate 4,485,583 bushels, against 4,729,995 bushels last week.

Corn exports for the week aggregate 2.397.191 bushels, against 2,796.292 bushels last week." The world has been treated to a new illustration of the fickle, volatile charac­ ter of the French nation in the sudden dis- solution of the Bris- son ministry after ftu existence of only a few months. The result was precipi­ tated by the spectdc- ,ular performance of CJeW Chanoine in resigning the port­ folio of minister of war, which was placed in his bands as the successor of Geii. Zurlinden only PRBmiei: brissox. a few weeks ago. The situation is all the more surprising in view of the pressing nature of the con­ troversy with England over the Fashoda affair. This seerfos to have beeh complete­ ly lost sight of in the excitement over the Dreyfus case, for which the army is chief­ ly if not wholly responsible. The sudden act of Chanoine is attributed to the hound­ ing to which lie has been subjected by army officials, who are apparently more eager to carry on an anti-Semitic war in the stfeets of Paris than to meet a for­ eign enemy iu centraTAfrica. The first inference is that this sudden ir­ ruption of the volcanic elements which constitute so large a portion of the gov­ erning factions in the French Republic will operate to the direct advantage of Great Britain. While the French leaders are torn to pieces with their dissensions over internal affairs, England, with all parties united and harmonious in support of its foreign policy, will go on strengthen­ ing itself and preparing for any emer- Fram all over the great lakes Wednes­ day cane tales of wrecks, dangers and narrow escapes in the terrific gale of Tues­ day night. The storm was defined by the* weather authorities as a cyclone, with its center between Chicago and Grand Ha­ ven. Mich. Tales of numerous wrecks and dangers came from all points in the southern portion of Lake Michigan, These reports not only told of vessels wrecked and cargoes lost, but many re­ ports were made by captains who made port in safety, telling of vessels in dis­ tress sighted when the seas were so high and the wind so fierce as to'make any at-* tempt at rescue impossible. It wiil.be several days before all the dreadful story of the storm can be learned. So far as Chicago is concerned, the storm was the most-disastrous of recent years, not excepting the great gale of May, 1894. Old tugrnen say that the waves were higher than at any time since 1889, when the lake shore road and a part of Lincoln Park were washed away. Lin­ coln Park Commissioners estimate the damage done by the storm at $30,000. Fisk Hall, the large new building of the Northwestern University, was for a time in great danger of serious injury from the high waves. The wall that was built out into the lake to protect the building from just such storms was washed away at a loss of $5,000. The steamer H„ A. Tuttle. laden with grain from Chicago, went down <iff Michigan City, tht crew being taken off by life savers. COMING ELECTIONlk Officers Who Are to Be Chosen Kn the Various States.

Sir Horatio Herbert Kitchener, the »ir- dar of the Egyptian army and the new hero of the Soudan, is a young man--being i -^ut ^--f°r the high place he has won by ' tnei-it in the military service of his coun­ try. He was born in Ireland,' and "at 20 was a lieutenant. By 1888 he had been advanced to the rank of colonel. He spent eight years surveying in the Holy Land, during which he picked np a very fair knowledge of colloquial Arabic. This, to­ gether with his knowledge of the native character, went far toward hjs success in »the Soudan. When Kitchener went to Egypt as one of the officers appointed to assist Sir Eve­ lyn Wood in the formation of an Egyptian army niostofthe,yvyrk fell to his lot owing i i -Detroit Journal. gency that may occur either In the Soudan or nearer home. As the downfall of the Brisson ministry is apparently traceable directly to the hos­ tility of the army to the steps which have been taken looking to a revision of the Dreyfus case, the natural effect will be to undo what has been done in that direc­ tion, as it is not in the nature of a French court to do anything distasteful to both the Government and the army. For the present army influence is superior to jus­ tice and the people, and if the forms of re­ vision should be gone through with the result is likely to be merely a repetition of the perversions of justice which have been witnessed in the past. It is safe to say that this will be the inevitable outcome should the new cabinet be of the charac­ ter foreshadowed by the tumultuous pro­ ceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, when the rallying cry was "Vive l'armee" and "Down with the Jews."

He then demanded an adjournment of the chamber in order to enable him to consult with his colleagues, and the sitting was suspended amid great excitement. Lpjer in the day vast crowds gathered in the Place de la Concorde and began a violent demonstration. The mob burned several kiosks on the Place de la Con­ corde. A fight occurred on the . Boule­ vard Montmartre between the police and the anti-Jewish rioters and several of the mob had their heads broken. Another serious conflict resulted from a demonstra­ tion made by a number of royalists, who assembled in front of the military club. The royalist flag was snatched from the hands of the man carrying it and a violent tussle followed. The excitement in the streets continued throughout the evening, the mob deliriously "downing" traitors, Jews and M. Brisson until they, were hoarse. Arrests are made on the slight­ est provocation.

An adequate stdry of the sirdar's life would read like one of Scott's romances of the East. His wanderings in Pales­ tine, the Soudan, Erzeroum, Africa and elsewhere have been filled with thrilling episodes. He has been shot at by Bedou­ ins, almost murdered in Palestine, nearly hanged for being a spy, but his delight has been to penetrate dens of villainy to find out at all hazards the mysteries of the Orient for himself. He has disgtiised him­ self a score of times, and has thrown dice with death to further some military plan of his own. Such is the sirdar. BEGS FOR MERCY. Spain Abandons Claims to Concessions on Cuban Debt. The cable announces that Spain has at last abandoned her attitude of claiming any concessions in Cuba and Porto Rico as a matter of right, and has now simply thrown herself on the mercy of her con­ queror. The Spanish representatives did this at Wednesday's session of the joint peace commission in Paris, acting under instructions from Madrid. They pointed out that only by some re­ lief from the Cuban debt could the com­ plete ruin of Spain be averted, and sub­ mitted facts and figures in proof of their declaration. The cable containing this information was received in Washington while the President was in Philadelphia attending the peace jubilee, and Secretary Hay immediately sent the cablegram by his executive clerk on a special train. , SERIOUS FOR FARMERS. Discouraging Outlook in the North­ ern Part of Dakota. Reports from the northern part, of North Dakota us to the wheat situation are most discouraging. In some localities less than 25 per cent of the wheat has been thrash­ ed, and the continued bad weather makes the situation so much worse. In some lo­ calities there was a fight on what was deemed the excessive charge of the thrashers. The price was not reduced and the contest has resulted in the farmers losing thousands, of dollars to save a cent or two per bushel.

The trouble started the other night, when Constable Thompson, at the head of a posse of 8f- teen men, went to the house of William Burke, a desperate negro, who resides a mile from Harpersville, with a warrant charging Burke with an attempt to mnfv \der Charles Freeman, a white man.

Havana advices say there is a possibil­ ity that warships will be sent to Havana again in the near future by the United States. The demands and protests of the American commission have been treated by Spanish officials with contempt and de­ fiance. The commission cabled to Presi­ dent McKiniey asking for power to cu- force respect for its protests.
