Monterey, Mexico. It Is not probable that the Mexican government will extend the reduced duty privilege on wheat from the United States. The native crop is reported to be the bea, that has eeen raised In Ine republic for many years, and for this reason it Is thought that the duty of three cents per kilo ot wheat will again go lntc effect immediately. Large shipment of wneat from the United States are now coming into Mexico and the heavy traffic will continue for some time. The Monterey Hour mill, one of the largest mills in Mexico, has more than 1,000,000 bushels of wheat contractec for, mostly from the Unlt.'d States The railroads will be busy for the next ten days shipping wheat to the different 1i:Ms In the republic lrora th United States, where a large crop ha leva raised. On account of the go id crops which have teen raised In the northern part of this country I think that It Is likely that the full duty will be placed back on wheat, beginning this month," said Ernesto Madero of Monterey, who it Intensted in the flouring business In Mexico. The crops in Coahulla, Chlhuahus and Durango are all reported to be In excellent condition, though those is the southern part ot Mexico are a practical ' failure. On account of that wheat In this section will be much cheaper than at Mexico City, which fact may possibly determine the course of the action which the government will take In the matter In favor ot another extension of the reduced duty. But If the reports of the northern fetates are to be believed the largest crop In the history of Mexico has been raised and 1 think that to protect this the full duty will be put into effect. "No matter what will be done, the mills In which I am Interested will be little affected for at least a year to come, for we have laid In a large supply of grain and are still buying more. The wheat raised here Is of as good g quality as the best produced In the United States, and I soon expect to see Mexico become In that respect New York. Now that the crime of murder has been added to tbe eccentric doings of the dozen or more Pittsburg millionaires, it is probable that the limit of their capacity for sensationalism has been reached. Remarkable divorces, remarriages, breaches of promise, alimony and chorus girls have hitherto been ordinary features of their lives. They seeiu to have become rich so suddenly that they have lost their heads. Never before, however, has any one of them been accused of murder. , Years before Harry Thaw ever heard of Evelyn Nesblt or Stanford White be was eccentric to the verge of crazl- - as an folding a roll of bills as large all Harry K.

Following the return of Mrs. Phipps to this country, her two little children were forcibly taken from the Waldorf-Astori- a by Mr. Phipps and hurried away to Denver, where he had resided for some time. It was openly stated that when the divorce proceedings were over Mrs. Phipps would marry Hart McKee, but in tbe meantime that eccentric young man had become enthralled with Mrs. Hugh Tevls, who a few years previous had been wed and widowed within six weeks. Mrs. Tevls and Mr. McKee sailed away to Europe on the same steamer, and shortly afterward were married. Things were rather dull In the Pittsburg colony for awhile until Mrs. Phipps went out to Denver, where the divorce case was brewing. Mrs. Phipps began a contest for the possession of the children, but eventually terms were reached under which of of J ' 11 a , Most of the mills are amply supplied with wheat and are turning out flour as rapidly as possible.

It is a atrange fact that chorus girls and actresses aeem to appeal to the Pittsburg millionaire past all power of resistance.

Another Pittsburg millionaire who had & varied and noteworthy career was James King Clarke, known to hla friends as "Jamie." Young Clarke Inherited a part of the millions of hts father, Charles J. Clarks, of rittsburg. He was In the habit of spending a part of his time tn Washington, and It was there that he met Miss Esther Bartlett. They were married on April 26, 1899, in Washington, and with the beat man. Mackintosh Kellogg, Journeyed to New York, where they took rooma at one of the big hotels. As related by Clarke In the suit for divorce, which began a month later, upon their arrival In this city he left his bride In his room with Mr. Kellogg while he went downstairs to look after some baggage. He was detained for some time. On his return he found the door locked, and when It was finally opened Mr. Kellogg's shirt front was stained with the violets whhh Mrs. Clarke wore as a corsage bouquet. That settled It. Mr. Clarke waxed wroth and left hla bride. Mrs. Clarke afterward sued for and obtained a divorce, after which she became the wife of L. T. Whitehead, of Erie, pa.
