C. August 31. Senator Frye is aa ardent teetotaler. He never takes a drop of liquor, and can't bear the presence or the name of It. The other day he was in tbe Senate restaurant with some members of the house.

He ordered cold tea, and cold tea in the literal sense of the term was what he wanted. Cold tea, pure and' simple, was what the waiter brought him. But It had been shaken up so much that it had a foam ou it, which to tbe Senator's eye gave it a strange and dangerous appearance. He handed it around for inspection and asked it it was not ale. Every man said it was ale.

Then with an angry soowl on his face he called the waiter and said: What do you mean, sir? What did you bring me this for? This Is not what I ordered. I ordered cold tea. Take this away and bring me some cold tea. "Ail right, sir, yes sir; 'cold tea, certainly, sir," said the waiter, aud away be went, taking tbe offensive beverage with him. In a moment be returned with another tomb-bier.

It was Just about half full, ana this time It was solid whisky. Tbe glass of water which accompanied It betrayed its Identity, and so the Senator was sot entrapped into drinking. When it waa explained tbat the first glass waa really cold tea he rather en-Joyed the Joke and regained bis temper. The Globe Cannot Be Undersold.

THE EUROPEAN SHOHTAGK NOT LIKELY TO CAUSE ANT G3EAT DAMAGR. The Transatlantic Crnp Larger Than Had Bean Anticipated American Wheat Not So Easily Influenced by European Fluctuations as Formerly A Twelve Months Harvest Altered Conditions The Wheat Crop and Inventions for Milling It Rise of the Hungarian and Russian Fields and Its Cause. HILE speaking to a Post-Dispatch it- TO, the rePrU of tbo ex iv cltement in r-urope wheat crop, Mr. Louis Fusz said: 'I bave carefully followed the proceedings of the Vienna Conference, iVi and do not believe that the facts brouicbt out there will have any great effect upon tbe wheat market of this country. To tell the truth, as a dealer in flour I was decidedly disappointed at the showing made, as I had anticipated tbat the foreign sbortage, and the consequent call upon America to supply tbe deficiency, would bave been much greater.

Instead of being smaller than bad been anticipated, the foreign crop is considerably larger, and we cannot look for any demand tbat will very materially raise the price of our home product. POSSIBLE SPECULATIVE ADVANCE. "In ssyingthis.I speak only of legitimate demand, as what use speculators may make of the reported shortage neither I nor any one else can tell. There is a great deal of loose money In the country at tbe present time, men are prosperous, and therefore enter prising, and these conditions are favorable to heavy speculative movements. Tbe price of wheat and flour may, therefore, be put up very high, but it will be an artificial and not a natural rise.

The present outlook, while it assures good prices, does not Justify any revolutionary change of values. CHANGES OF A DECADB. "Had such reports as are now coming in from abroad been received ten years ago sir. Fusz went on to say, "there would have been a tremendous bocm In the market, and prices would have gone flying skyward. But at tbe present time nothing of the kind Is to be anticipated.

Wa bsve become far more conservative, and less likely to jumpatconJ not so much because of any change In the character or habits of thought of tbe people, as because of tbe altered conditions of trade In cereals. Fifteen or twenty years ago it was comparatively easy to tell what tbe wheat crops of tbe world would be in any given year, but now It is nearly Impossible. Few people seem to realize tbe fact that wheat is being harvested In some part of the world during nearly every month In tbe year. The seasons of our own crop are well known. Russia follows later, then Australia, then South America and then India, tDus making an almost complete circle of twelve months' harvesting.

It Is evident that however well Informed tbe dealers ma'y tie as to tbe condition ot tbe American and European crops by tbe end of August, tbey can know little or nothing of what tbe output of countries harvesting several months later will be. Anything like close calculation is therefore impossible, and a man who figures on a short crop is likely to have his calculations completely upset by tbe later crops. This state of affairs bas inclined all wheat dealers, especially those of America, to be conservative and raot to jump at conclusions concerning tbe crops of tbe world In the manner tbat tbey used to do wben the producing field was more circumscribed. I therefore expect tbat the audden changes In value due to tbe reported condition of the European market will not be anything like as common in tbe future as they were Id tbe past, and do not anticipate tbat the present reported shortage will have any very great influence upon our market, except a general strengtbenlng one. If there is anything like a great excitement it wilt come from ths speculators, and not from tbe consumers.

HUNGARIAN HOLLERS AND AM I RICA. "A cbange which Is appreciated only by those wbo bave given tae matter careful attention, said J. 11. Siemerlng of Minneapolis, wbo is at tbe dell, "has come over the grain markets of the world during tbe last ten or twelve years. Three fields bave entered Into most serious complication with American wheat, those of Hungary, Russia and India.

If such a condition of affairs bad existed during tbe last decade, as tbat which reports show at the present time, our wheat would bave risen fully 50 per cent, as we bad a practical monopoly wben the English, French and German crops failed, especially in tbe line of producing grain fit for making the beat grades of flour. But recently the advance ot mechanical Invention has entirely changed all this. Flour men alone realize what a blow was dealt at our supremacy by tbe invention of tbe Hungarian roller process. By this what used to be considered as an inferior grade of wheat can be ground into nearly as good flour as the best American growth. This fact bas brought tens of thousands of acres of wheat lands into cultivation In Russia aud Southeastern Austria which formerly were regarded aa useless for thst purpose, and while their product is not quite equal to tbat of our fields it does well enough, and tbe monopoly wbichwebeld when tte crops in Western Europe had failed has been broken up."
