Through the "Reform Press Bureau" -which is located' fn this city, the 1 Farraer'B Alliance loaders are send ing out a circular, prepared some time ago and recently adopted for , circulation among the farmers,which enters into a full discussion of the condition of the crops, predictinglan excellent wheat crop in this country and quoting the indications in crop reports that the foreign crop will be short and prices high. The recom mendation to the farmer is that he hold his wheat for the rise in price whenever it is Dossible fori uim f. do so. Since the l2th of this month 400,000 circulars have been sent out to the farmers. Two hundred thou sand will be sent out between now and Monday, and it is contemplated circulating a million -copies. It is expected that the result will be a slow shipment of wheat to the mar kets, and that the farmer will him self claim the increased value of his product instead of giving the specu lators the benefit of the profits. In other words, the farmers will do a little speculation in their own way. It has been said that theAlliane.fi was going Jo try to make u corner m wheat. This the Alliance leaders deny, but they say they have done their best to inform the farmers of the condition of the wheat crop of the world so that they may know ttiibw vo calculate on in making their aissi - hav THIS WEEK'S NEWS A Brief Summary , of Current Events.

The schooner brought in 17 fish, weighing six tons. It was while catching one of these fish that a desperate fight occurred. The iron had been darted into a swordfish weighing 500 pounds, and after a time Captain Clark, thinking it ,was nearly dead, lowered the small boat to secure his prize. As he approached the fish it seemed to be seized with a sudden frenzy ani made a rush for the boat. The men managed to thwart its design by getting on one side. The fish then made another charge, which came near ending the life of Joshua Clark,1 one of the men. (The nraged fish plunged its sword through the bottom of the boat and through Clark's leg, pinning him to the seat op which he was seated.

' At St. Louis, Mo., George Ross was sent out by his employer to drive a stray horse from the yard adjoining the resi dence! ; When Ross approached the horse it rushed at him and bit him in the forehead and cheek. Ross started to run across the field, and the horse pursuing him knocked him lown and attempted to trample on him. Ross succeeded in getting out of the way, and jumping to his feet tried to escape. The horse, how ever, pursued him and biting at his shoul der tore a large piece of flesh from it. The man screamed in agony and the at tention of a negro who was passing was attracted. He instantly jumped the fence! and, picking up a piece of rail, started toward the man and beast on a run. J Before he could reach them the horse; had knocked Ross to the ground and this time struck him on the head with his hoof, instantly killing the un fortunate man. The negro arrived on the spot, but tripped over the rail and fell to the ground, strikiner his head on a jfoneland being rendered unconscious.

Late News at the Seat of Government Testing Armor Plates, j A comparative armor test to ascertain the relative qualities of all steel plates and,nickel steel plates for use in arming the protective decks of naval vessels has been had at the naval ordnance : proving ground at Indian Head. The object of the test was to obtain data to be used in determining whether the protective deck of armored cruiser No. 2, the New York, being built by Cramp & Sons, should be made of ordinary tough 6teel plates or of nickel steel. The test was most decidedly in favor of nickel steel, three inch plates of which -resisted six inch shells fired with charges equal to full power at 2,000 yards' distance. The new vessels will all be armored with nickel steel, and, when launched, will be the best protected ships in the world. Blalne's Health Improving.

Snm time ago the Shah created a sensation in his court by naming the son of one of his concubines, an officer in the Persian army, as nis successor, instead of the rightful heir Mouzaffor Ed Din, his legitimate son.

Short Crops Making; People Desperate Inerease of Crime. The destitution on both sides of the Ric Grande for hundreds of miles is appall ing. For three years a continuous drought, except in Starr county ," Tex.", where a tolerable crop was raised, has caused many deaths from actual starva tion, and at Starr Station the people are despairing. The ranks of the professional murder ers and bandids will be swelled by those driven to crime by hunger. In Browns ville and Matamoras beggary was never greater nor the means to relieve the poor !ens. It is too late for a fall crop and the prospect is dismal. In Hidalgo county cattle are daily dy ing from want of grass and water. In Cameron and Starr counties they are fast reaching that condition. FROM DtXXTTH TO LOJTDOI.
