IS THIS ANOTIIEU SCANDAL? Speculators Alleged to Have'ISeen Furnished "Tips' on the Crop Keport. ST. LOUIS, March 12. The Post-Dispatch to-day makes the following statement in double leaded type: "Last Friday a cipher telegram wa9 received In St. Loul3. from Chicago, saying the government report from the Department of Agriculture would estimate the farmers reserves of wheat at 115,000,000 bushels. Another telegram said that the report would be bearish on wheat and bullish on corn. The report, when made public, confirmed both these hints. The amount of wheat in the hands of the farmers is placed at 114,0,0u0 bushels and of corn at K!).iW,(w bushels. This Is barish on wheat and bullish on corn. How did the information leak out? Have the speculators placed agents in the department?" Secretary Morton Explains. WASHINGTON', March 12. Referring1 to the above dispatch, Secretary Morton said this evening that the matter had been brought to the attention of the department, and careful observations . had been made during the last few days, but it was not considered possible that Information was being fflched from the department. The report In question is signed by the Secretary at exactly 4 o'clock on the 10th of each month. It is a s:ries of deductions, averages and aggregations made from numerous reports by agents of the department stationed in each county of every State In the Union. These are made up by a large number of statisticians, and the reiort is not actually put together or completed until a few minutes before it is taken to the Secretary to be signed. A number of circulars have been discovered by the department, which have been Fent out by a lirm of Chicago grain merchants, asking for information identical with that asked for by the department trom its agents. It is thought that these circulars are being sent by this firm and ethers to the agtnts of the department. It is known that several persons previously employed by the statistical division of the Agriculture Department are now employed by grain dealers in Chicago. It is surmised that tnese persons, or some of them, may possess the names of the correspondents of the department, and by mailing them the same information gathered by the department they are able to approximate the report about to be made by Secretary Morton. The department has sent out Instructions to lt3 agents informing them that they are to serve the government exclusively or not at all in this matter.

A Tammanyite Charges the A. P. A. with Being Kesponsible. Spirited Debate in the New York LegislatureDemocratic Tillies Denounced by Mr. Fish. ALBANY, N. Y., March 12.

In response to Mr. Fish, who favored the cmDlovment of none but citizens. "The Savior of mankind was born in a manger. I am surprised that the next Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor should sound the keynote of Knownothlnglsm cn this floor. Knownothingism Is rampant today In this country. It was rampant In Troy in the election held there the ether day. Knownothlnglsm in the shape of the A. P. A. was responsible for the murder of Robert Ross. I declare right here that the homicide in the Republican Thirteenth waid in the city of Troy was the result of a contest between the A. P. A. and the Catholics. If you Republicans," said Mr. Sulzer, turning to Mr. Fish, "want to go before the country on the Issue of Knownothingism you will be burled under an avalanche of votes." Mr. Fish denied that the A. P. A. had anything to do with the murder in Troy. "This issue Is now raised after a week's planning by the Democratic bosses," said Mr. Fish, "to Justify the murder of Robert Ross. The plea comes too late. It is too thin. It Is Intended to distract the attention of an outraged people from the true cause of the murder. It was hatched up in the office of a State department official and sent out to the press in the form of a manifesto, declaring that the riot was a right of religions. It Is the last resort of cowards to try to bring into this affair any idea that the A. 1. A. had anything to do with the murder, the sole cause of which was the attempt of an American citizen to prevent gangs of thugs awl repeaters from prostituting the ballot boxes." Mr. Ainsworth here said: "I wish to repeat what I said the other day, that Gov. Flower and the chairman of the Democratic State committee are responsible by their Interference and influence for the terrible scenes enacted at the Troy election.

New York Mail and Express, Electric lights, with their clear, clean und odorless illumination, are not unknown in residences. Electric bells and annunciators may be said to be common, but these are by no means all the uses to wnlch Ingenuity has adapted electricity for the household. Systems of electric lighting have been devised for special requirements. There are houses in which every bedroom, closet, storeroom, etc., is lighted by a lamp which lights itself automatically whenever the door Is opened and which shuts its?lf off whenever the door is closed from the outside. Lights in a barn can be controlled from a house. The convenience of these arrangements can readily e appreciated. There are electric lamps which at will can be operated either at full candle power or at much reduced power. When these devices come into general use, as they soon will, nobody will need to go stumbling anywhere in the dark. The light will precede us. Children afraid of the dark will be unknown, for darkness will disappear. Electric power Is being used for operating elevators in residences. The mechanical appliances required are simple. Other applications of the power In residences are the operation of dumb waiters, ventilating fans, ice cream freezers, etc The adaptation of electricity to heating Is making rapid progress, but at present it can be used more economically than coal only when it is generated from water power. Thus far the hsatintf of large spaces by electricity is an expensive luxury. Electric cooking Is economical, and of course much preferred to any other method. All sorts of electric cooking utensils are now on the market. These devices and arrangements are generally known, but thus far scarcely any residences have them ail. In a few years, except as to electric heating apparatus, they will be generally Introduced when buildings are constructed. They will make domestic labor lighter and more pleasant, and will do away with, even In Isolated and rural quarters, much drudgery that now falls upon the housewife. And aft?r all we are in but the first stage of the utilization of electricity. OXB RICH MAX'S SOX. TlionRh Very "Wealthy lie Una Hecome n Professional Plnnist. New York Letter In Philadelphia Press. The late Courtlandt Palmer was one of tho32 rich men who delight In the repute for eccentricity of life and originality of views noon social or religious subjects. Mr. Palmer was the founder of the Nineteenth Century Club, an organization where freedom of speech was not only permitted but expected, and wiiere what are called advanced views upon many of the problems of life were welcomed for discussion. He was a very rich man, the owner of the Union Square Theater and other valuable property, and yet he was one of those rich men wno like Thomas G. Stu-arman, wno I sincere, or Tom Johnson, whose sincerity ha? yet to be proven, profess the views of scclallsm in one form or another. When air. Palmar came to die he entered the dark valley as fearlessly, tra.rjii i. and almost as cheerfully as he would have entered upon any great undertaking. While he was one of agnostic profession, nevertheless he was of opinion that dotH vc pr obably merely a change by which the conscious forces of mea were usnereit into larger exp?riences. When Mr. Palmer died, six years ago, he left his great property to a son who ooie hl3 name. Young Courtlandt Palmer could have gone Into any of the swell clubs, but h? inherited from his father a serious quality of mind and from his mother not only great appreciation of music, but a great talent for It. He determined to become a professional musician and there was not o;r in the family who tried to dissuade him from that purpose. He was not much older than Josef Hoffman was when he appeared here when that wish took possession of him. and It was only a year after his father's death that he first appeared In concert as a juvenile piano virtuoso. Since then the young man has been dilitrent in the study of that Instrument. laderewskl was fond of him and gave him some lessons, and he has studied with other great teachers of Europe. This young man with a princely fortune beirins his professional career In this city this week. Whether he Is really justified In entering upon such profession, whether he has that personal uuilitv which alone makes the greatest virtuosi, we have yet to discover. He played once or twice in Euronp nnd we got some very happy reports of his playing, but then rcjKjrts of successes upon tne other side are not always to be relied upon. What gives especial interest to thl3 appearance of the young man Is the fact that he does not need to play for mono-.'. ?m that probably he is the only person of this reneratlon who Inheriting very great wealth' has chosen to become a public performer. If he has the genius which hi friend3 think he has of course he Is justified in this. Cm ml ii Ills Daily Dread. Detroit Free Pre3s.

We had yesterday a. very interesting illustration of the tk-sire and the capacity of men whose vocation Is the nuking or serving of literature t write and construct material tit for dramatic representation.

Mr. Howells's drama was a one-act p!ay entitiM "Hride Ko.ses," and It failed beautifully, tenderly, regretfully. Just as every dramatic i r.ture of his has failed wh. ii brnugiit to the test of the footlight. Published in a magazine.
