cessfully. Tbc three weeks naval maneuvers just
concluded ' In the North sea bavc been
keenly watched by every government in
Europe. In spite of the admiralty's blun
derlng the evolutions yielded results ot Im
mense Importance. They bare shown the
rapidity of the mobilization of the English
fleet in reality; that the new and compli
cated instruments of sea warfare like the
battleships Sansparclt "and Nile can be
equipped, manned and ?nt to sea In a few
days ready for action. TViey-havo also

pareU can be worked rap;..!;.- and success
fully, penetrating nineteen Inches ot Iron
armor and fifteen inches ot any compound
armor afloat at a range of 20.C00 yards.
Another discovery tnndo has modified the
accepted ldoas of the value of torpedo ves
sels. In no Instance did a torpedo vessel
succeed In an attack on an ironclad. The
system followed against torpedo vessels
converted the defenso Into an attack. In
stead of waiting for the torpedo vessels the
warships went for them. Out of twenty
torpedo boats four were adjudged captured,
while two protecting ships were destroyed
and seventeen attacks repudiated. The
superiority of the active over passive de
fense against torpedo boats is therefore held
to bo demonstrated.
Kates Slashed by the Alton.
The general passenger agents of the linos
In the Western Passenger association have
been on the anxious seat ever since they
agreed upon rates and arrangements for
harvest excursions In apprehension of some
radical step on the part of the Alton. They
were relieved of their suspense and their
fears confirmed, for the Alton has issued a
circular announcing three harvest excur
sions Instead of two, tbo number decided
upon by the association, and making the
rate ono faro for the round (rip, instead of
a fare and a third.
Ready to Produce Rain.
The officers of the government who are
to direct the experiments to produce rain
have set out for Texas, where the test will
bo made on the Nelson Morris ranch at
Midland. They bad with them 100 balloons
from ten to twenty feet in diameter and
capable ot holding from 1,500 to 5,000 feet
of gas, hundreds of kites from six to twclvo
feet high, miles of copper wire, quantities
of nltro-glycerine and powder, batteries for
generating electricity, and machinery for
generating hydrogen and oxygen.
The Mob Settled Them.
Near Crosby, Honey county, Ala, the res
idence of W. B. Davis a prominent farmer
was burned and the family narrowly es
caped. Ella Williams colored, was arrested
and confessed to have saturated the house
with coal oil and fired It out of revenge
The confession implicated Lizzie Williams
and Bill Williams, who were arrested... The
sheriff was taking the prisoners to jail when
a mob overpowered him and took the pris
oners from him and shot them to death.
A Monument for Colored Soldiers.
Dr. Bryant, th: colored ex-soldier from
Chicago, was at tbo Detroit encampment
soliciting subscriptions for the erection of
a monument In Jackson park, Chicago, to
the colored soldiers. The association for
that purpose was orgenlzed at Springfield,
111., with Senator Cullom, Gov. Fifcr and a
banker of that city as trustees of its funds.
It is intended to raise SlSftjCOO, and about
$54,000 has been secured so far.
A White Chapel Victim.
Another of the denizens of the London
White Chapel, an old woman named Woolfe,
was seized by an unknown man, who cut
her throat and stabbed her repeatedly in
the body. Sho c:tnnot lire. The police, as
usual, are unable to find the murderer
One man has been taken into custody on
suspicion of being tbc usussin. hut the evi
dence against him is very weak.
IN THE EAST.
The Eev. Dr. John II. Worcester, ol
Chidago, has formally notified the di
rectors of the Union Theological semi
nary of his acceptance of the professor
ship mado vacant by the removal of Dr.
Briggs.
During the talcing of testimony at
Washington, in tho Bock Creek park
appraisement a real estate expert,
John E. Beall, tcstiGed to the profit
made by ex-President Cleveland on his
venture. He said that Mr. Cleveland
bought his Oakview place for 826,000
and sold it for $140,000, thus realizing
$114,000.
Pension Commissioner "Raum '.says
that the amount of SllG.OOO.OpO will be
expended for pensions during the fiscal
year. The number of pensions now
upon the rolls and tho amount paid by
the government for pensions during the
present fiscal year summarized is as fol
lows: Pensioners on tho rolls May 31,
1891 Army invalids, 415,615; widows,
105,759; navy invalids, 5,439; widows,

The president has issued a proclama
tion announcing reciprocity with San
Domingo, under the act of last October,
which with the view to securing reci
procity trade exempted from duty
sugars, molasses, coffee and hides im
ported Into the United States, liy this
treaty the following articles manufac
tured in the United States will be ad
mitted free of duty in the Dominican
republics after Sept. 1, 1891: Live ani
mals; meats of all kinds, excepting
smoked; various kinds of cereals and
their Hour; hay; plants and seeds; cot
ton seed oil and cake; coal, turpentine,
etc; mining; manufacturing and agri
cultural machinery; railway material
and hardware of various sorts; zinc,
lead, tin and copper in various forms;
building and ship material; paper,
printed matter, inks, etc; gold and sil
ver coin and bullion. A reduction of
25 per cent is secured on butter, teas,
condensed milk, fish, fruits, cotton and
cotton manufactures, boots and shoes,
stationery, tin plate and tinware for art,
cordage and wooden ware for household
use,
B. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: Business continues dragging
and dull. In commercial circles there
seems to be a general and growing con
fidence that the business of the fall will
be large and profitable, and some im
provement is seen, but not enough as
yet to justify sanguine views. Trade at
the south is peculiarly depressed be
cause there is too -much cotton. Again,
in parts of the west where crops failed
last year, trade has not yet recovered
from the great dprc:oii resulting, and
as long as the corn crop is in doubt
coaplete recovery is not to be expected.
In several states legislation hostile to
capital causes much disturbance.- Fur
ther, the collapse' of real estate specu
lation in many parts of the west and
south has brought severe fosses and cm
4arra$snient to man?." At the east
monetary uncertainties' have powerful
Influence. European dlflcnlties do noi
pass away as quickly or fully as Was ex
pected, and noWscrious financial trouble
is apprehended in Russia because of
failure of crops which .will 'only help
this country in the "erid; Thert Is a
growing dodbt Whether tho movement
of crops in America will not cause a
temporary drain greater than eastern
money markets can meet, but if the
grain can be sold the gold will come.
TnE fields adjoining the Indiana and
Ohio boundary line are alive with grass
hoppers, which are doing an Ineflti
mablc ambuntuof damage to the crops.
Grain Is being harvested earlier than
usual in order to save It from the rav
ages of the insects, but in the majority
of cases so much damage has been done
as to render the crops of but little
value. The grasshoppers have only
appeared within the last few days, and
they have been tho source ot no little
consternation among the farmers, many
of whose crops will be short fully a
half. Tho hoppers seem to be traveling
eastward, and, while not much grain Is
being devoured, they ruin it by cutting
off the stalk.
Census returns indicate that 2,491,930
farms and homes in the United States,
occupied by owners, are encumbered by
mortgages. Preliminary returns from
Iowa indicate that the average debt for
a farm in that state is $1,283 and for a
homo S719, making the average for both
81,140. At this rate the total encum
brance on farms and homes in the
United States would be about $2,560,
000,000. Judging from the incomplete
returns from western states farms and
homes are mortgaged for about one
third of their value.
The total exchanges for the last week
of the leading cities of the United States
and Canada was $923,938, 156, a decrease
of 14.8 per cent as compared with the
corresponding week last year.
IN THE WEST.
An outrage on Chinese recently oc
curred at Vallcjo, Cal:. which probably
will lead to a demand for indemnity
from the Chinese government. A short
time ago a lot of Vallejo Chinese came
to tho consulate at San Francisco saying
they were living in fear of their lives,
as the regular authorities refused to
protect them. Troublo began on the
night of July 4, when a crowd gathered
about the Chinese quarter at Vallejo
an' pelted the celestials with stones.
Recently a fire was started and a Chi
nese girl was burned to death. War
rants for eight men were issued. Val
lejo authorities claim there is no legal
proof against any of the'accused, but
the Chinese story is told -with so much
detail that Gov. Markham has been re
quested by the state departmeut to in
vestigate the matter.
. W. E. Powell, general immigration
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway, who has Just returned
from North and South Dakota, says: "I
visited a large number of counties In the
north state and every one in South Da
kota, and it is only justice and the truth
to say that better crops were never seep
before. The harvest is over and se
cured and it is simply immense. The
crops throughout the northwest are on
a par with the Dakotas simply great
everywhere.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad company has sued the Pullman
Palace Car company. It demands an
accounting; accusing the Pullman com
pany of making excessive and fraudu
lent charges in its dealings with tho
railroad company.
Two battalions or cavalry have left
Fort Reno, I. T., with .instructions to
drive the cattle from the Cherokee out
let. There is a prospect of a collision
between the cavalry and the cattle men
and Indians.
Ignatius Donnellt does not favor
the scheme to -corner all the wheat in
the United States. He says to the' Min
nesota farmers, in effect, "Sell your
wheat whpn you think best."
The labor assembly of Chicago has
decided to issuea warning to the work
men of the world-not to come to Chi
cago in expectation of getting work in
connection with tho world's fair.
M. Eiffel is negotiating.for the erec
tion of a- tower In Chicago that will

Creditors of S. R. Howell, . the lum
ber merchant recently failed, allege
fraud in the assignment.

elaborate exhibit of her resources at the

The wheat crop of Minnesota and the

THE SOUTOERKSUaAMARyt ,
Gov. Buchanan," ol "Tcfftfelsse'e'i "hiss
decided tot call .the. .legislature to ccin
vene in extra 'session August 17 to con
sider the convict lease system and-other:
matters of interest, including amend
ments of the election laws, tho repre
sentation of the state at tho world's
fair, and increasing the power of the
governor to suppress riots in calling out
the militia. The prison question in
cludes the regulation of the peniten
tiary, its management by lessees,' the
question of removal of the main prison
from the City of Nashville, building a
new penitentiary and the regulation of
convict labor. Gov. Buchanan said he
was in favor of taking definite steps to
wards finally doing away with the whole
lease system. He was in favor of going
as far as could be done constitutionally.
The labor unions throughout the state
will bring a strong pressure to bear upon
the legislature. They will meet and by
resolution ask that the Mease system be
done away with and free labor be no
longer interfered with by convict labor.
District United States Judge
Hammond has handed down, at Mem
phis, Tenn., his decision in the now
famous case of R, M. King, the Seventh
Day Adventist, who was convicted a
year ago of Sabbath breaking by plow
ing on Sunday. The state supreme
court affirmed the sentence and then
the Adventists and the National Sec
ular association took up the case, en
gaging Don Dickenson as counsel to
argue it before the federal court. By
Judge Hammond's decision the defend
ant is remanded back to the custody of
the sheriff to serve his sentence.
The latest returns show that the dem
ocratic state ticket in Kentucky was
carried by about 25,000. The people's
state ticket will probably not show so
heavy a vote as was expected. So far
as reported the alliance has elected can
didates against the democrats or repub
licans in ten districts. A majority of
the legislature is however composed of
farmers.
A desperate fight occurred at 'Lake
Charles, La., between cattlemen and an
old band of robbers. The last account
stated that fourteen men were killed
and two are missing. It was a free-for-all
..fight between "Red Hones" and
"Whites." The latest report places the
number of wounded at sixteen.

A statement shows the amount of
business transacted at the different
South Dakota land offices during the
fiscal year just closed, which shows that
a considerable amount of business has
been done. The following-entries were
made: Preemption filings 847; home
stead entries, 1,365; timber Culture en
tries, 723; cash entry proofs, 632; home
stead proofs, 1,845; timber culture
proofs, 1,286. The number of entries
acted on and allowed by each office is as
follows: Rapid City, 1,424; Huron, 1,318;
Mitchell, 1,293; Aberdeen, 1,076; Yank
ton, 759; Pierre, 549; Chamberlain, 431.
The number of acres newly filed on is:
Pierre, 114,473; Chamberlain, 35,600;
Rapid City, 130,499; Aberdeen, 83,307;
Mitchell, 64,134; Yankton, 22,307; Hu

quired by final proof is: Pierre, 17,760;
Chamberlain, 28,689; Rapid City, 32,094;
Aberdeen, 80,272; Mitchell, 131,920;
Huron, 136,965; Yankton, 84,488. Tho
business shows a slight decrease from
the previous year, although the Rapid
City office shows an increase in tho num
ber of timber culture final proofs, over
one-third of all such proofs taken in the
state being made within the Mitchell

Considerable comment has been
aroused over the recent decision of the
United States court in regard to the
status of children born of Indian women
and white or citizen husbands. The
case in question was that of the United
States vs. Ward on the charge of selling
liquor to a half-breed. Tho-evidence
was that the half-breed in question had
a negro father, who was a citizen, and
an Indian mother. The decision of the
court was that the children of these
parents follow the status of their father
and hence are citizens of tho United
States and amenable only to its laws.
If the decision holds good it will affect
the ownership of the greatest part of
the land taken up in the vicinity of Fort
Pierre and Stanley, across the river
from Pierre, asjt is nearly all held by
squawmen's children or their wives. The
department officials at Washington have
always . held to the contrary of this
opinion, and the allotting agents, who
have been and -are now at work per
forming their duties, proceed under
these instructions, which give all people
of Indian blood a preference for lands
under the allotment act.
New Era la Mining.
The Dead wood and Delaware Snielt
ng company's new plaut, only recently
completed at a cost of $300,000, was
started up for its initial run and sixteen
minutes after tho blast was turned on
molten ore began flowing at the rate of
150 tons per day. The company is and
will continue operating tho pyritic pro
cess, distinguished from lead smelting
by the fact that iron pyrites instead of
lead ores are used for flux. The process,
though an old one, has never before
been operated on a large scale in the
United States and considerable doubt
was entertained as to tho results. The
first twenty-four hours run demonstra
ted its absolute success and marks the
beginning of a new era in Black Hills
mining. Quarts hitherto shipped out of
the country for treatment will hereafter
be reduced at home. The company
owning the plant has so constructed it
that its capacity can bo doubled in a
short time and at small expanse. It
will probably so enlarge it at"ancarly
day and then enter the field to competo
with the plants in Omaha and Denver
for the ores of Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington,' Wyoming and Colorado.

FOREIGN JOTTINGS.
fa T'l fa-
TflB United States is about the on
country which has raised a good crop of
the cereals this year, add most of the
others are far below an average in yield.
Last winter was an exceptionally bad
one in all parts of Europe and North
Africa. In the whole of that region the
rye andHrhHat eropf edffered severely,
and da ,the continent Of EurOpe the
spring and summer were not sufficiedtly
favorable to repair the damage except
in a. slight degree, English crops faring
better than any other in Europe. The
consequence is that Great Britain is
from 8 to 10 per cent shorter than aver
age years, rendering it necessary to im
port in all this year 150(000,000 bushels
of Wheat France must import, it Is
claimed, fully is much as that Ger
many must alsd buy heavily; ahd Russia,
heretofore like the United States an
exporter of grain, will be forced to turn
importer or millions of Its people will
have to starve. Russia is alleged to bo
shortlA0J000,000 bushels in wheat and,
much more Important than that, the rye
crop yield is estimated at only 35 to 60
per cent of an average. It is said that
in eighteen of the most populous and
productive out of the fifty-one provinces
in Russia, embracing 45,000,000 of tho
population of tho empire, the poorer
classes of the people have been at starv
ation point for some months past. In
Germany tho wheat crop is deficient 17
per cent and tho rye crop 25 per cent
of an average crop, while in several
other countries of Europe there is a
great deficiency from the smaller yield
normal to them. In fact, only the Dan
ubian countries have any grain to spare
for the wants of others, and the exports
from India have been so liberal as to
suggest that much more cannot como
from that quarter before another har
vest, which falls in the first two months
of the year. The shortage Is a tremen
dous one, and may well incite the ques
tion, How is it to be met? Must some
30,000,000 or 40,000,000 of people in
Europe starve for want of food? Or
will many die while millions more aro
only half fed, their dole being little more
than enough to keep body and soul to
gether? Or will the deficiency be in,
largo part made up by exports of say 10)
per cent of our magnificent corn crop,
which the famine-stricken people of
Europe will now have perforce to re
sort to as the only thing that will fill the
immense void in the food supply? These
-are stirring questions, a reliable answer
to which cannot yet be furnished.
Dillon and O'Brien's repudiation of
Parnell, though a foregone conclusion,
has profoundly depressed the Parnell
ites. Mr. Parnell hoped until the last
moment to again entangle them in ma
neuvers for reunion. Their prompt and
decisive declarations as soon as outside
the prison doors, and their refusal to
listen to any advances from the Par
nellites fell like a death blow upon the
faction. Parnell telegraphed to his
committees that defections on every side
did not alter his course a hair's breadth.
To fill up the gaps loft in the committee
by the deserters another directorate is
forming, aspiring to found a daily paper
on the Parncll-Pence principle. Ono
Dublin evening organ remaining faith
ful, appeals to the party to rally
rally and not succumb to stage fright
because they lost O'Brien, but now that
the truth is penetrating the stoutest
Parnellite hearts and they see that their
cause is well "uighextihct"and'that it
will be useless to continuo the struggle,
it is thought that Parnell will soon ap
peal for the support of the revolutionary
partisans at home and abroad.
Dispatches to Washington from tho
United States immigration commission
now in Europe to the treasury depart
ment stato that the chairman, Col.
Weber, and Dr. Kempster have gone to
Russia by way of Germany, where they
arc now prosecuting their inquiries.
Commissioners Cross, Powdcriy and

the quarter century milestone of lt ex
istence, it is not surprising that the ad
vance guard on arriving In Detroit to
co'ebrate tho "S.Ivor Anniversary"
Should greet each other with lusty hur
rahs, hearty handshakes and hat throw
ings, under a profusion of bespa'ng'ed
apd beribboned decorative draperies that
formed a rainbow canopy across the
line of parade. From end to end of that
long line of gray-boarded veterans as
they entered Detroit there was not a
gloomy face nor a heavy heart, for the
rejoicing seemed to send an electric
thrill through every form, banishing all
gloom and sadness. Theve'erans came
together this year like a holiday crowd
In a city given up o carnival.
Even the sober visage of Dr. Stephen
son, the founder of the Grand Army, as
it looked down from innumerable ban
ners upon tbo happy faces of the anni
versary throng, seemed to break into
smiles in keeping with the mood- of the
merry hour. The war's wild alarms that

of rejoicing and peace peace and its

and means of enjoyment; peace that
was fought for, was purchased with toll

day, and no Grand Army; perhaps, also,
no peace.
But what a task these veterans went
about in those days when their hearts
were light with the flow of fresh young
blood campaigns tho severest known
to modern warfare; battles the bloodi
est and most desperate of the age; hard
ships that all tho gold that was ever
mined could not hire men to endure, not
even in this age of boasted physical
hardihood.
During the twenty-five years ot its ex
istence the Grand Army of the Republic
has had a remarkable career. It was
organized at Decatur, 111., on April 6,
186a The founder of the order was Dr.
Benjamin F. StoDhenson, who was Sur
geon of the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry,
and was mustered out in 1861. It is a
matter of general regret that Dr. Ste
phenson did not live to see some of the
beneficial results from his labors. Ho
died when the order was struggling with
adversity and political dissens'ons. Up
to 1871 the organization grew but slowly,
owing to its being regarded a political
and religious body. Gradually these in
fluences disappeared, and a healthy and
rapid growth set in.
The first post commander was M. F.
Kanan,and the first national commander
Gen. Stephen A. Hurlbut In 1866 the
first post was organized in New York
City, the charter being obtained from
Illinois. This post is the present Phil
Kearney Post, No. 8. The New York
department was organized in 1867. The
first department commander was Col. J.
B. MeKean. and the second Gen. Daniel
E. Sickles. The rank of commander-in-chief
has fallen upon many distinguished
soldiers since the Grand Army was or
ganized. Here is the list:
General 8. A. Hurlbut. Illinois, 1846-7.
General John A. Logan, Illinois, 1868-70.

The order has grown until there -aro
7,003 posts and nearly 500,000 racmbars.
During the last year S230,000 has been
expended in relieving comrades, ex
soldiers, and their families. Nearly
forty thousand pcoylo have benefited by
the bounty ot tbo order during the year.
The aggregate amount oxpended by the
Grand Army posts for relief since 1S71
has reached the sum of $2..-m.ooo.
Homes' and asy'um- for soldiers,
orphans, and widows bavc Lcn built
and maintained and destitute families
provided for. The amount of good done
by the order cannot be calculated.
The Grand Army is a secrot order, but
its principles are pretty well known. Its
objects aro: "The preservation of those
kind and fraternal feelings which have
bound together with strong cords of
love and affection the comrades in arms
of many battles, sieges and marches; to
make these ties available in works and
results of kindness, of favor and mutual
aid to those in need of assistance; to
make provision where it is not already
done for the support, care and educa
tion of soldiers' orphans, and for tho
maintenance of the widows of deceased
soldiors; for the protection and assist
ance of disabled, soldiers, whether dis
abled by wound, sickness, old age or
misfortune, and for the establishment
and defense or the late soldiery of tho
United States moia'ly, socially and po
litically, with a view to inculcate a
proper appreciation of their services to
their country, and a recognition of such
services and claims by the American
people."
The Grand Army has on its ro51s over

used its Influence to scenre legislation
for the education and care of orphans of
dead comrades, for increased pensions,
and for homes for destitute and disabled
veterans. It has done a great work in
successfully urging an increase of pen
sions for dlsablel veterans to help them
in their advancing years. It has remov
ed from the nation tho disgrace of per
mitting men to die and bo buried as
paupers in the land they had preserved
by their bravery and self-sacrifice.
Monuments have been placed upon
the battle-fields of tho late war,
and tho departed comrades have been
honored. Memorial Day has been cstab
l'shed as a national holiday on which to
scatter flowers on "the graves of the
nation's heroes. The Grard Army to
