A Dying Man Confesses He Committed the Crime She Now Suffers For, 1 In the next issue of the Review of Re's lews Mr. Stead, its editor, will have an article headed, “Ought Mrs. Mayhrlck Be Tortured to Death?” in which be rigorously and at great length reopens the whole case of the unfortunate American woman who Is now undergoing a sentence ofllfe-imprlsonmeni'in Woking prison for 1k! alleged poisoning of her hiTsband, who was a well-known Liverpool merchant.

Mr. Stead investigated into this matter, and declares that he attaches weight to the confession, “but,” he adds, “even if it wore valueless, it would be of service in directing attention to the travesty of justice which has exposed Great Britain to serious objections from the United States, and which is not unlikely to become a subject of diplomatic remonstrances. ” Mr. Stead makes a strong appeal for the release of Mrs. Maybriek before Christmas. “Her condition is such,” he says, “that she will speedily die If she is not released.”

BIG CROP OF WHEAT. The Government Report Sends the Mar- . ket Down—Scramble to Unload. The Government crop report has surprised the speculators. Another great crop of Wheat—s2o,ooo,oo3 bushels, as Indicated by the returns to the agricultural bureau at Washington—caused a lively time among the bulls aqd bears iti wheat pit, says a Chicago dispatch. There was a drop of \\i cents per hnshel in the price of Decent:, ber wheat as soon as trading commenced the other morning, and a further decline of about % cents in the course of the day. The commission houses wye kept busy on orders To sfop lo3se»~on wheat previously bought Logan k Co. were prominent sellers aqd Counselman & Day, Mllmlne, Bodman k Cot and Norton k Worthington were among the heaviest buyers. There was weakness- in corn and oats also and a wild scramble among the holders of those articles to get rid of previous purchases. Corn and oats each declined lc per bushel Even pork shared in the general decline and dropped about 20c per barrel. The meaning of the whole thing was that the speculators had made their minds up for another year of great abundance, and, although that means lower prices, it also indicates general prosperity and cheap food for the millions. OCEAN BELLES PARADE. Most Elaborate Naval Display Gotham Has Ever Witnessed. As a popular demonstration the New Tork naval display Tuesday in honor of Christopher Columbus was unequaled in the history of the United States. War ■hips, yachts, merchant ships, tugs, excursion steamers, lighters and barges In squadrons, fleets, shoals and masses cov«red the waters of New York harbor as wild fowl cover the feeding grounds of Currituck sound. More people were afloat on these vessels than were ever seen afloat together by any American eye, while more than two million spectators gathered along the shores of the harbor and river to gaze in wonder or admiration. But as a parade, an orderly procession upon the sea, it was an absolute failure. It was a mob afloat, a moving derelict, an animated mass of flotsam.
