TREASURY OFFICIAL ON THE COMPLAINT3 OF
HALT LAKE DANKKDS.
WAEHIXOTON , August 19. A prominent
official of the treasury department to-day said
n regard to the complaints of the bankers
and mining men of Salt LaVe City ngatr.st
Lho recent order regulating tbo distribution of
silver dollars , that tha order In question was
made teceeaary by the great expense
attending the transportation of that coin from
ono point to another. Aa an illustration ho
said that it would cost over S3 to ship 1,00)
silver dollars from San Francisco to SaltLako
City , and as much moro to ship it back ,
which expense would deprive the government
of the entire profit realized from coinage. The
difficulty at salt Lake City would , In the
official's opinion , ba averted if tbo bankers
were willing to accppt fractional silver coin
Instead of standard dollars , The former
would be delivered to them at their places of
bminesa without delay , and without ox-
penaa to them , and would answer
all the purposes of standard dollars.
Ho said farther that tha * fforti of the present
administration to promote the circulation uf
silver coin are meetine with grea eucjc ip ,
especially in the case of subsidiary coin , which
until the pi esont movement began waa wholly
unavailable and a dead weight.

ST. Louis , Aujuat 19. The action of the
nation tl executive commit too of tin Knights
of Lntur in inning n general order to the
knights engaged upon roads woit of the Mie >
siitippl , prohibiting handling or repairing of
Wabash rolling Block , has bean fol.otvod by
no serious results to-day. Membcra of the
Wabash commttteo in session hero nro of the
opinion that the full t the order will
not be felt by the railroads for oovoral days
yet. Tplcgrams have been received by them
from different parts of the stata from branch
assemblies of the national organization en
dorsing thoissuanca of the general order , and
Indicating iheir Intention to stand by it.
Meetings of the knights all over the west will
be held as soon as tbo order is received by
them and It is expected that concerted action
will be taken by them by the 21st at leait.
AN EFFORT TO IMTEACH JUDQK3 TREAT AND

T. J. Russell , of the committee , savs that
the resolutions calling for the impeachment
of United States Judges Treat and Jteokel
will bo carried out If possible. Congressman
Warner nnd Gen. Palmer will draw up the
articles of impeachment , which will bo intro
duced into congress , nnd pushed with all the
influence which the Knights can command.
Trouble is expected lu Kansas City shortly.
A number of yard nnd tr inmen at that point
uro Knights , and in obedience to yosterdiy'a
order it is thought they will refuse to handle
Wabash carp , lu cjnseouencs of which all Wabash -
bash freight will bo sidetracked.
TUB EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE LEAVE FOB THEln
HOMES.
Nothing bai yet been received from any
point in ttils stats of any trnubla growing out
of yeiterdny'd order to the Knights of Labor ,
nnd in nil likelihood milling uill ocsur for n
day or two , or until the order shall have
reached at least the principal points on the
rpadu named In theoraor , the national execu
tive committee- having turned the whole mat
ter over to trio district committees with power
to act. They will issue no more
orders , and start for the cnst
to-day. Members of the committo ? , repre
senting the knights for tbo southwest system ,
left for their homes last night and will more
lolly explain the order to the various assem
blies. Tbo Wabash committee will remain
hero and transact noceaary business ,
[ NO DELAY OK TRAINS ,
There haa been no delay 4o passenger
trair s so far , and none seems > to be appre
hended immediately , although Itjie understood
the order applies to passenger coaches as well
as freight cars and other rolling stock , nor ha !
there been any detention to freight. The
movement of trains in the union depot yards
has In no way beou disturbed ta yet ,
NO H1GNS Or IMMEDIATE TROUBLE.
Up to alata hour to-night there was actually
no fctrika news , either local or from outside
points. The order of yesterday , it appear- ; ,
was not mailed until to-d y , and , therefore , it
will be a couple of days before any action can
ba taken by tha various assembled
at points on roads involved. The Wabash
executive comrrittco is still hrrr > , but it di-
nothing to day of public intr-rutt , nor did it
receive any art vices from outside places. Sevi
eral assemblies of Ktiights of Labor held
meetings ton I ? lit at which tha order
( if the national executive committee
wai presented auddiicuesed. The order will
be posted in conspicuous places in the railroad
shopi and yards to-morrow , and all knights
nil ! hold themselves In readiness for anything
that may turn up ,

BALTIMORE , Md. , August 19. The Balti
more Manufacturers' Record will publish to.
morrow nearly five pagea of special reports ,
covering tha whole siuth from Virginia to
Texas , show ing that tbo prospectn for cropa
and the outlook for bu'incss In tlat section
are remarkably pood. Not ; only ia the acre
age of tha cotton , corn and tobacco crop the
largest on record , but the reports are almost
unanimous in stuiug tint the yield of these
crop ? , aa well aa the htimllor crops , excepting
wheat , will gro.Uly exceed the best crop ever
before produced ,
It it also shown that crops have bnen made
at a lower cost than in any preceding year ,
and the liens on crops for money advanced to
farmers is much lesj than hereto ! ore. Official
rnpcrts from South Carolina ehonr that while
tint btnto will produca about 009,000 bush-
eis more of corn , and probably SCO.OOO b.iloa
of cotton more than last year , tha aggrcgato
amount of agricultural liens given to obtain
advances upon tha growing crops Is $3.000,000
less than in 1882 , notwithstanding the fact
that thu intervening years of 1 83 and 1881
were unfavorable crop years. In Georgia ,
the agricultural department estimates the
corn crop at 40 , ( 00,100 bushels , against 31-
000,0 0 buthels laU year , nuaiil.G'JJ.OOO ' bnuh-

THE DEBT YIELD EVEIl KNOWN.
It Is thought by tha United Statoa coramia-
Mouer of agriculture that the increased acreage
in corn over last year , and the splendid
yield which is now assured will
give the south uot iesa than 5 ,000OCO buih-
ela of corn more than last year. The Cotton
crop , it la believed , is lafo for much thu larg
est yield ever rnadf , and far at least 1,100,000
to 1,500,000 balea more than laU year. In
tobacco , fruits and vegotabloa the crops uro
the largest ever made In the south , while rice
prnmisBs a splendid yield , and sugar afarmoro
satisfactory and profitable crop thnn in 1681.
Stimulated by unprecedented crops , business

and the proipects throughout the south for
