France and German Wheat
Crops also a Failure.
(Cable Copyrighted by The United Prtaa )
London, June 20. There is no
doubt that the German government
has taken a serious step in refusing
to reduce the duties on imported
corn. The harvest in Germany will
cetainly prove deficient this year,
and although the deficiency may
not be very serious, that is not the
sole consideration.
In France the winter wheat crop
will be an almost complete failure,
and prices of wheat have daring the
past few weeks been rising every
where. Germany must necessarily
import a very considerable quantity
of grain food, and if to the advanced
prices current in free trade markets
must be added the German import
duty, it is quite certain that the
ood of the people will be exceed
fngly dear.
The most forcible comment on
the refusal of the government to
lighten the duty was the immediate
and very serious rise, which: oc
curred in the; German wheat mar
kets. The mass ot the people in
Germany live upon grain products
mainly, meat being only to a scanty
extent within their reach. The
prospects of dear food has of course
apolitical bearing, and it has fur
nished a new weapon of which the
social Democrats have not been
slow to avail themselves. It is
quite possible indeed, that there
may be seen during the next few
months unless the government should
change its mind something like the
trouble and agitation which led to
the abolition of the corn laws in
England. No doubt the present
circumstances are very different
from those which were experienced
in England in 184G.
Germany will be abundantly sup
plied with wheat from the United
State from Austria-Hungary, and
from India, but if the duties are
maintained the prices will be very
high and except where wages have
hern recently advanced as in the
coal mining districts, there will be
widespread and, in some cases, very
severe suffering.
A Snake Charmer in a Circus Almost
Killed Before the Audience. ...
By The Up ited Press.
Chicago' June 20. During the
afternoon performance at . the side
show with a ' circus yesterday, a
fourteen foot Python attacked Miss
Uno, the snake charmer, and
seriously injured her.. The snake was
a new ecquisition of bad disposition.
Miss Uno had' wound the snake
about her and was about to lift an
other to her arm, when it tightened
its folds and caught her left arm in
its jaws. Three attendants at once
sprung to her assistance, and it re
quired their united efforts to free
her from the 'horrible embraces of
the serpent The jaws of the
reptile had to be prized
open before her arm could
be released. A physician was called
and tha wound cauterized, and un
less blood poisoning sets in the in
jury will not be serious. At the
time of the accident the show was
packed with people and the excite
ment was .. intense. Four ladies
fainted and had to be taken into
fresh air before, they recovered.

London, June 20 A singular
scene occured to interrupt a wed

in the London suburb of Blockpool.
The couple who were to be mar
ried had taken their places before
the altar and the clergyman was
about to pronounce the words that
should make the twain - one when
the' 'Father of the intended bride
suddenly rushed into the church,
and shouted out a vigorous objec
tion to the continuance of the pro
ceedings. ' v
He based his objection on the
ground that, his daughter' was. not
of age, -being still under 18 years,
and that he had refused his permis-
ision to the marrraife:
There was a stormy any tearful
scene, and the father and his would
be son-in-law nearly came to blows.
The scandalized clergyman finally
got the party out of the sa
cred edifice, very glad to be
rid of them even at the
ss of his prospective fee. The
lover did not leave however with
out vowing vengeance upon the
stern parent who had defeated his
matrimonial hopes.

Despite the statements made by

Atlanta, Ga., June 20 The
Evening Journal addressed a letter
to each member of the Legislature
which meets next month, inquiring
as to whether he would vote for a
State appropriation for an exhibit
at the World's Fair. The Journal
to-day prints 71 replies received to
day, of which 58 are unqualifiedly
against any appropriation on cer
tain conditions, and 7 are non-committal.
This makes it practically
certain that the Legislature will
make no appropriation for the

Paris, June 20 The Haytian
minister here has received a letter
from the Secretary of State of Hay
ti dated Port AuPrince,saying that
on May 25fh President Hippolyte
was attending the religous cere
monies in the cathedral
when a crowd of desperadoes,
led by an obscure General named
Sully-Guerrier, attacked the prison,
forced open the doors and set the
prisoners free. Guerrier and his
mob then started for the Palace,
hoping to seize! and assassinate
Hippolyte and his ministers. The
latter collected the loyal forces and
succeeded in crushing the revo
lution. Guerrier and many of
his accomplices were arrested. The
latter declares that Hippolyte dis
played great courage during the ac
tion. The letter further says that
Rijraud was not shot until convinc
ing proof had been obtained that he
was not a French subject. The
country is now quiet.

does. While other towrns, through
their young men, are pushing for
