The Dauntless left Palm Beaoh over two weeks ago with a filibustering expedition, and since then, it is claimed, she has made two more trips to the island, securing the arms from one of the Florida keys, where the Cuban, agents have established a sort of warehouse. The State Department at Washington have been greatly worried by the success of the Dauntless as a filibuster, Doiain)) TTTQC conf Smith nnriAr nr. ders to seize the vessel at all haaardo. When the Raleign arrived off St. Augustine, her commander was informed that the Dauntless was below New Smyrna waiting for the R. L. Mabey to bring her a cargo of coal and arms. The Raleigh immediately steamed south, and about 6 o'clock a. m. sighted the Dauntless well out at sea. A signal from the Raleigh was disregarded by fthe Dauntless, and the latter vessel crowded on steam and tried to escape. Then the Raleigh fired a blank cartridge which startled the New Smyrna people and p sent them to the house tops, where they eould soan the sea. They saw the Raleigh in her chase of the Dauntless, the latter apparently going so fast that the former sent a solid shot across the filibuster's bows, bat still the Dauntless pursued her oourse. Another solid shot was fired by the cruiser which struok the water near the Dauntless and threw waves all over her. Then the Dauntless came to and the Raleigh sent a prize orew op board. As the Raleigh and Dauntless came up the ooast, the tug R. L. Mabey was sighted. The Mabey headed for Mosquito Inlet and tried to escape, but was brought to by three solid hots in quiok succession from the Raleigh. Two of the shots struck within ten feet of the Viihev and oausart the little tnct to reel a3 though she had been dealt a mortal blow. A prize crew from the Raleigh was also sent board the Mabey and they found herjloaded deep with ooal and arms for the Dauntless. ' The Dauntless, it is said, had no arms on board. The Raleigh proceeded north witn her prizes and arrived off St. John's Bar, where tt*e filibusters are now laying tinder the cruiser's guns. The Dauntless and Mabey will be sent up to Jacksonville In the morning and turned over to the United 8tates officials. W. A. Bisbee, who is a brother of the Collector of Customs here, owns the Dauntless, and Captain Lomm, of Brunswick, Oa., commands the vessel. Dr. J. C. Lengle, President of the State Bank of Jacksonville, owns the Mabey, and her commander is Captain Canute. The Cubans here claim that there has been treachery, and some sensational disclosures are expected. PRINCETON'S SESQUICENTENNIAL. The President and Mrs. Cleveland Join in tbe Unique ^Celebration.

Heavy XJCmanu lur nnjieu (UO Market?Liverpool Showed a Rite of Nearly Six Cent* on the December Crop?Prices for Grain Advance All Over the World?The Farmer Profits. Chicaqo, IN. (Special).?In the midst of & scene of wild excitement, such as veteran traders recall in war times, December wheat opened Monday morning on the Chicago Board of Trade anywhere from 78% cents to 79% cents, after closing officially Saturday at. 75% centi It was an average three cent {amp to begin the faror with, and in Its startling suddenness and effect it came like a bomb in the Board. Eighty-cent wheat was missed by a quarter of a cent only, the top notch of the sensational session being 79% cents. Before the commotion in the pit began, the' English cables posted on 'Change told the feverish crowd that more wheat was imntari hu TTnlt-nd Kingdom. London. Liverpool, Pari6 and Berlin contributed their quota of ball news and served to tune the excited crowd to the pitch of a three-cent rise at the opening. Traders on both sides of tbe market realized it was not a local one, whioh was shown by the prices remaining firm in the face of heavy selling of long lines by holders to get the profit. The aggregate amount of business was something enormous, and was characterized by wild excitement and frequent and violent fluctuations. Strange to say, the sixcent rise at Liverpool was only responded to with a three-cent rise here to begin with. In fact, Minneapolis was the only home market to come anywhere near being as strong a3 the markets abroad. But after every violent decline there was a more violent reaction, and the trend of the nbarket was upward until the receipt of the world's visible supply figures. They showed an increase of 2,374,000 bushels, and were the cause of a decline of 779? cents. The fact of India having shipped 48,000 bushels of wheat to Europe last week rather shook the confidence of traders in their belief of a total failure of the wheat crop in that ooun? * * "J* ______ WHEAT BOOMING IN NEW YORK. A Sharp Advance in Liverpool Affects the Produce Exchange. New Yobk Citt (Speoial).?Wheat made a sensational rise of five cents a bnshel Monday on the Produce Exchange, and the wildest excitement prevailed. Business in other parts of the Exchange praotically ceased, and during all the hours of business the wheat pit was jammed with a dense mass of frantic brokers. Cash wheat at 90 cents a bushel?an advaace over the lowest of the year of 28 cents was the day's reoord. The close on Saturday for the December option was 81% cents. Monday went 4% cents better. The exchange openod at 10.90 a. m. By noon options amounting to 11,045,000 bushels were sold, representing gains or losses of say aboat #400,000. The Deoember future all mbed steadily after the opening ouret, until It touohed 86>? cents, an advancc of 29% cents since June, of 21% cents since September 14 ?Ave weeks?and of W/& nents in the last two weeks. The prioe fluctuated above 86 the rest of the morning. The highly sensational jump of the morning was owing to the cables reporting an advance of six cents a busbel in Liverpool, and further bull news concerning the shortage of crops in India. Russia, the Argentine Republic, Australia and other wheat-raising countries. It is estimated that tho recent rise in the cosh value of whe it and corn has increased the wealth of the holders of those grains in this country by $134,891,015 within the last sixty days. Of this amouut the advance in the price of wheat in the markets of the world has contributed no less than $90,636,351, and the rise In corn has enriched the united estates 9*0,0*, oo*.

Several representative ship brokers say that the supply of vessels is still unequal to the demand. Pobtland, Oregon (Special).?More wheat js being put afloat in Portland than ever before in a similar length of time in the history of the port. The shipments are far in excess of those of any previous year, and \ylth plenty of ships and plenty of wheat, the good work will keep up. EXCITEMENT IN LONDON. The Rise of Wheat Causes Scenes Resembllnc War Times. London, England (By Cablegram).?The rise in the price of wheat in America caused something resembling consternation, and when the American opening cable dispatches were received there was a scone such as is not usually witnessed except in time of war. The advance appeals to be ohlefly due to the sale of American wheat for India, which greatiy frightened the speculators Cautious observers think that a rise of $1.25 per quarter in a week fully discounts the efteot of the abnormal Indian demand. Rise of Six Cents in Minneapolis. MINNEAPOLIS, aimn.

Megiddo is the name of a mountain that looks down upon Esdraslon, the greatest battlefield that the world has ever seen. There Barak fought the Canaanites; there Gideon fought the Midianites; there Josiah fought the invading Egyptians. The whole rnoHnn qtnnria fnr haftlo nnrl fVin ArmncAH. don of my text borrows its name from it, and is here used, not geographically, but figuratively, while setting forth the Idea that there ia to be a world's closing battle, tbe greatest of all battles, compared with which the conflicts of this century and all other centuries were insigniflcent, because of the greater number of combatants engaged, the greater victory and the greater defeat. The exact date of that battle we do not know, and the exact looallty is oncer* tain. I may be in Asia, Europe, Africa, or America; but the fact that such a battle will take place is as certain as God's eternal truth. When I use the superlative degree in regard to that coming conflict, I do not forget that there have been wars all along on stupendous scale. As when at Marathon Miltlades brought on his men, not ia ordinary march, but in full run, upon the horsemen of Persia and tbe blaok archers of Ethiopia, and scattered them, and crying, "Bring fire! Bring Are!" set into flam? the ships of the invaders. As when Plzarro ovar T> 1 - ?I num. tk.. CUIUU jrcru. A3 VYUOU X illllp IUD WTCWUU triumphed over Portugal. As when the Huns m?t the Goths. As when three hundred Spartans sacrificed themselves at Thermopylae. As when the Carthagenians took Akriffontum. As when Alexander headed the Macedonian phalanx. As when Hannibal invaded Italy. Battle of Hastinjre! Battle of Valmy! Battle of Arbela! Battle of Tours! Battle of Borodino! Battle of Lucknow! Battle of Solferlno! Battle of Fontenoy where 100.000 were slain! Battle of Chalons where 300,000 were massacred! Battle of Herat where Genghis Khan destroyed 1,600,000 lives! Eattle of Neishar where 1,7^7,000 went down to death! 1,816,000 slain at Troy! And American battles, too near us now to allow us to appreciate their awful grandeur and significance, except you who wero there, facing the North or facing the South! But all the battles I have named put together will "hot equal in numbers enlisted, or fierceness, or grandeur, or triumph, or rout, the coming Armageddon contest. Whether it shall be fought with printers' type or keen steeJ, whether by brain or muscle, whether by pen or carbine, whether by booming cannon or thunders of Christian eloquence, I do not know, and you may take what X say as figurallva or literal, but take as certain what 8t. Jobi , in his vision on the rock9 of the Grecian archipelago, Is pleased to call "Armageddon." My sermon will first mention the regiments that will be encaged in the conflict; then Will say someimng 01 lue commtuiuen ou both sides: and then speak of the battle itself and the tremendous issues. Beginning with those who will fight on the wrong side, I first mention ihe Regiments Diabolic. In this very chapter from which my text is taken we are told tnat the spirits of devils will be there. How many millions of them no one can tell, for the statistics of the satanic dominions have never been reported and the roll of that host has never do ?>arth been called; but from the direful, and continental, and planetary work they have already doue, ana the fact that every man and woman 'ind ohild on earth has a tempter, there must be at least sixteen hundred millions of evil spirits familiar with our world. Perhaps as many more are engaged on especial enterprises of abomination among the Nations and empires of the sarth. Beside', hat there must be an lncon ceivable number of inhabitants io realms pandemonlac, staying there to keep the great capitals of sin going from age to age. Many of them once lived in heaven, but engaging In conspiracy to put Satan on the throne, they were hurled out and down, ana they are now among the worst tnugs of the aniverse. Having been in three worlds,? Heaven, earth and hell,?they have all the advantages of great experience. Their power, their speed, their cunning, their hostility wonderful beyond all statement! In the Armageddon they will. I doubt not, be present in full array. They will have no reserve corps, but all will be at the front. There will not only be soldiers in that battle who can be seen and aimed at, but trocps intangible an<l without corporeity, and .weapons may strike clear through them without giving them hurt. With what shout of defiance will they climb up the ladders of Are and leap from the battlements of asbestos into the last campaign ot hell! Paul, the bravest of all men, was Impressed with their might for evil when he said, "We wrestle not aealnst flesh and blood, but against principalities,and against powers, and against the rulers of the darkness in this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Oh, wnat an agitating moment, whon the ranks diabolic move up and take their places for conflicts In the Armageddon! Other regiments who will march into the flcht on the wrone side will be the Regl ments Infidel. God gave but one revelation to the human race, and these men have been trying to destroy it. Many of the books, magazines and newspapers, throagh perpetual scoff at Christianity, and some of the universities have becomo recruiting agencies for those regiments. The greatest brigadier of all those regiments, Voltaire, who closed his lifn of assault upon Christianity by writing: -"Happinessis a dream, and only pain is real. I have thought so for eighty-four years, aud I know no better plan than to resign myself to the Inevitable and to reflect that flies are born to be devoured by spiders and man to be consumed by care. I wish I had never been born." Ob. the God-forsaken regiments of infidels, who, after having spent their life antagonizing the only influence tbat could make the earth better, gather with their low wit and their vile sneer and their learned idiocy and their horrible blasphemy to take part against God and righteousness in the great Armageddon! Other regiments who will march into^the ! fight will be the Regiment Alcoholic. Tney ( will be made of the brewers' companies, dls- . tillery owners and liquor dealers' assi oiaH^no nnH tho hnnHrflHn of millions of.t:\eir patrons. These millions of victims of f.'cohol joined by the millions of the victim: of arrack, the spirituous liquor of China :tnd India, and Arabia, and Egypt, and Ceylon, and Siam. Other regiments who will march in or. ihe the wrong side in the battle will be the Begiments Mohammedan. At the present time th^re are about one hundred and soventyflve million Moslems. Their plain mission is to kill Christians, demean womanhood, and take possession of the earth in the interest of ignorance, superstition, and moral filth. The massacre of fifty thousand Armenians in the last two or three years is only one chapter in their effort to devastate the earth of everything but themselves. So determined are they in their bad work that all the Nations of the earth put together dare not say to them, "Stop or we will make vou stop." My hope is that long before that last battle of whioh I speak, the Turkish Government, and with it Mohammedanism, may be wiped out of existence. The Turkish power of the last four hunlred years has Deen the mightiest hindrance on earth to religious liberty and moral improvement. H?r extermination is prophesied in the Book of * * * * - -n r\t *Ka /!* ?;{ m? 11 n nf I iteveiauon in mo usum .?? -4. , the River Euphrates, and she i3 going rapidly, thank God! But if the Bible prophecy concerning the drying up of the Euphrates is not fulfilled before the battle mentioned in my text. Mohammedanism will march in with sword, and poison, and torch to take hor part in the great Armageddon. Yea! to show the magnitude of the forces on the wrong side, I have to tell you what is left of heathenism at that time will march into the conflict. There are one hundred and fifty million fetish idolators, two hundred and twenty million Brahmins, four hundred million Buddhists. Through the subltmest movement of this century, the missionary movement, all the time gathering in momentum, I believe all, or nearly all. ot th'it seven hundred and seventy millions of heathendom will be converted to God. But that which is not converted will in?A fhrt Armntrft/JHnn nn thA wrnnt? eide. Other regiments on that wrong side will bo made up of offenders of all sorts?the dofrauders, the libert nes, tho dynamiters, the Anarchists, the oppressors and the foes of society, the criminals of all Nations, by whatever name they are now called, or shall then be called. They may not before that have openly taken sides, but then they will be oompelled to take side*. With what venom, with viiat violence, with what des U-' peration they win fall Into Hne at the gnat i Armageddon! la It not appalling, theee, uncounted regiments of tne earth, to ba joined by the uncounted regiments from perdition? Can any power oope with them? Especially when I tell yoa who their eom* mander is, for so muoh in all was deoendi upon the chieftain. Their leader win not be a political accident or a military "happen so." By talent, and adroitness and J courage, and unceasing industry he baa come to the bad eminence. He disputed the throne of heaven with the Almighty, but no one has ever disputed the throne of eternal night with this monarch who will In tha lnat hattle tak? field in neraon. Milton o&Us him Lucifer, Goethe oafls him Mephl#topheles, the Hebrew call; him Abaddon, tha Greek calls him Apollyon. He Is the Imper- 1 sonatlon of all malevolence, of ail opprea* 9lon, of all oruelty. The summing up of all falsehood. In his makeup nothing bad was left out and nothing good was put in, and he is to be the General, the Commander-tap Chief of all the forces on the wrong side of the great Armageddon. He has benn In more battles than you have ever read about, and he has gained more victories than have ever been celebrated in tbls world. But I guess this old warrior of Pandemontami will not have an undisputed field. I guess there will be an army to dispute with his forces. I nave mentioned the supremacy of this world. I guess our troops will not have to run when, on the day mentioned In my text, all the Infernal batteries shall be unlimbered. We have been reviewing the troops diabolic. We have been measuring the oalibres oftheir guns. We have been examining tnelr ammunition wagons. Now let- us look at the forces to be marsh&lled in the Armageddon on the right side. first or an, i mention tne regiments Angelic. Alas! that the suhjeot of demon- ' ' olopry seems better understood than thfl subject of angelology. Bat the glorloxu spirits aroand the throne and all the bright immortals that fill the galleries and level* of the nniverse are to take part In that last great fight, and the Regiments Angelic are the only regiments oapable of meeting the Regiments Platonic. To show you sojne- ' thing of an angel's power, I ask yoa to consider that jost one of them slew one hundred and eighty-five thousand of Sennacherib's hosts In a night, and It Is not a tough arithmetioal question to solve. If one angel oan slay one hundred and eighty-live thousand troops in a night, how many oan| . five hundred millions of them slay? The old Book says that "They exoel In strength." It is not a celestial mob, but a disci pled host, and they know their rank. Cberablm, seraphim, thrones, principalities and powers! And tne leader of thoee regiments in Mlcbael the Archangel. David saw just one group of angels sweep past, and they were twenty thousand eharlote& Paul, who in the Gamaliun college had his faculties so wonderfully developed, confesses his incapacity to count them by saying, "Ye are oome to Mount Zion and an innumeraDie company 01 angeis. iiqaoa i soul on earth has a guardian angel, then . ' % there most be sixteen hundred million I angels on earth to-day. Beside that, ,] heaven must be full of angels, those who j stay there; not only the twelve angels whoh . we are told, guard the twelve gates, but those angels who help In the worship, and go on mission from mansion to mansion, and' *] help to build the hosannas and enthrone the halleluiahs and roll the doxologlesof the service that never ends. But they all, if ro>1 quired, will be in the last fight between! holiness and sin. Heaven cflttld afford to -k adjourn, jost one day, and empty all Its, temples, and mansions, and palaces, and boulevards into that one battle. The next regiments that I see marching into the fight will be the Begiments Ecclesiastic. According to the last accounts, and praotlcaliy only in the beginning of the got* /.3a pel movement which, proposes to take the whole earth for God, there are foar million . > six hundred thousand Methodists, three. million seven hundred and twenty-five thou- i sand Baptists, one million two hundred and j eighty thousand three hundred and thirty* .1 threw* Preahvterians. one million two hundred and thirty thousand Lutherans, and fix J hundred and forty thousand Episcopalians. 1 But The present statistics of churches will be ] utterly swamped when, after all the great $ denominations have done their best wprk, the s.'^r/eet of all the sects will have more numbers than the present enrollment of alii denominations throughout Christendom. T see them moving into the ranks, carrying a -v standard striped and starred; striped as sag* :'~n Resting Him by whose stripes we are healed, and starred as with the promise that thoee who turn many to righteousness shall shine a* the stars, forever and ever. Into that battle on our side will roll those mighty engines of f ower, the printing presses of Christendom. nto that battle will also move the slightest telescopes, that shall bring the stars in theft courses to fight for our God. Again, the Regiments Elemental will oome , into that battle on the right side. - The winds!

He showed what He oould do with them when He wrapped Mqunt Sinai in flame, and we have all s*en their flashing lanterns moving with the chariots of the midnight hurricane. All the Begiments Elemental will come inonr side in the great Armageddon. Come and let us mount and ride along the line, and review the troops of Emanuel, and flnd that the Begiments Terrestrial and Celestial that come into that battle on the right side are, as compared with those on the wrong side, two to one, a hundred to one, a thousand to one. But do not let us shout until after we have seen the two armies clash in the last struggle. Oh, my soul! The battle of all time and all eternity opens. "Forward!" ''Forward!" is the command on both sides given. _ lAnn Knoo r\f OfmtCMJ VDVOP CF A J.UQ ivug iiuwg w? W?M u- wV ffw, w _ swing to and fro. Swords of troth again*! engines Infernal.
