sending Christmas boxes to the soldier *
from Nebraska , Is well pleased at the out
come of his plant. The homo towns have
In moat Instances responded liberally. Ben
nett IN the only exception , and that company
being made up largely from volunteers
Fcattercd all over the state , most ot Its. mcm
bcrs will bo remembered by th lr personal
frlcm'.g. Boxes have tome from a number
of the nrlghborlng states for friends In the
regiment. The shipment from Nelson , be
sides providing for every member of that
company , Includes a half dozen boxes for
strangers. This Is also the case In some othof
towns , so It Is believed that no ono will be
neglected. Several hundred magazines will
bo sent to the chaplain for the regimental
llbrarj. General Gage says that every ar
rangement for transportation has been per
fected and he entertains no tears that the
soldiers will miss their Christmas tieat. In

Mr. Bjorkman waa on board the Newark

and Munranlllo. When hostilities were BUS-
pended he was transferred to the Marble-
head and on It returned north. During the
short term of service Mr. Bjorkman was
promoted thrco times nnd comes homo with

Eort of a Greek puzzle to the men , the cards
presented to them bearing tbo names ol

The Indians on the Sioux reservation in
South Dakota were never In a more peacea
ble or prosperous condition than at the
present time. Tbo reports which have been
HCIH out for come tlmo past from corre-
fporxlTits remote from the 1'lno Ridge1
agency would Indicate that the Sioux In
dians neie on the \crgo ot an uprising ,
but puch It not the case.
The story of BOO joung Indians having
banded together or organled to subvert the
existing order of things Is entirely and
wholly untrue. Thn Indians are now as
rjulet and contented ns they have been
at any time In the past. As evidence ot
the progress that they are making there
nre thirty-two day school * and a large hoard-
Hg school In operation on the reservation ,
and practically all the Indian children of
school ago are no\v , for the ilrst time , In
Kchool.
During the last two sears Major Clapp ,
the agent , has sold to these Indians haying
machlnerj- , wagons and harness to the value
of moro than J20.000 , all of which they
mvc paid for from their own earnings , and
his has been taken up and credited to the
United States. They pay for all repairing
lone at the agency shops and they are
steadily learning to value property and
money. The Sioux Indians on the Pine
tldgo reserve are the owners of over 40,000
lead ot homed stock , and sell annually to
ho government more than 1,500,000 pounds
of beef raised by themselves. During the

BLAIR , Neb , Nov. 12. ( Special. ) Thb
republicans of Washington county are feel-
'ng very jubilant over the recent election.
Svery republican on the ticket In the
counts' , even down to supervisor , was elected.
Washington county has the honor of sav-
ng the republican senator from this district
is ho was defeated In his own countv.
Dodge , but Washington gave him enough
to elect him. The populists put lots of money
out In every precinct to defeat the legisla
tive ticket , especially W. D. Haller for rep
resentative. Haller was elected by a good
majority considering the fight that was
made on him. Ho will bo a prominent can
didate for speaker of the hour.o and has
already many promises of help from repre
sentatives with whom ho Is acquainted.
The populists think their defeat Is In part
caused by the abuse Hitchcock made on
President McKlnlcy In his speech nt Blair
and through the county. Several who usually
vote the populist Ucket were loyal to the
government and went to the polls and voted
the straight republican ticket. Sixty per
cent of the votes In the county were

REVIEW OF WORLD'S ' CROPS
Revised Figures Raise the Estimate of the
Yield of Wheat ,
GREATEST CHANGE APPEARS IN RUSSIA
Onlj Vnfnvornlile Itcimrt L'onieN from
tin- Southern lletnlnpliere ,
Where Drouth linn Af-
ffeted the Crop * .
WASHINGTON' . Nov. 12. Statistician
Hyde of the Agricultural department has
completed the official report of the crops of
the world for this month and a revised review
of the world's wheat la an Important feature.
The Russian wheat crop la now put by the
ministry of agriculture at 417,000,000 Win-
cheater bushels , an Increase of 30,000,000
o\cr the Hungarian official estimate. An
estimate , believed to ho below rather than
above the actual yield. 1ft credited to tlia
Hungarian agricultural ministry , estimating
the Hungarian wheat crop at 132,277,200
bushels of sixty pounds. An estimate , eald
to be the preliminary official one , puts the.
German wheat crop at 8.000,000 bushels
more than the 1S97 crop , making It , In round
numbers , 115,000,000 bushels of tlxty pounds.
The official estimate of the Italian wheat
crop puts It at 133,371,900 Winchester
bushels. The latest estimates of the Span
ish wheat crop arc a little less than 93-
000,000 Winchester bushels. The London
Times estimates the wheat crop of the
United Kingdom at 77,900 000 Winchester
bushels , considerably In excess of the esti
mates a month ago. The official estimate
for Uoumanla raaltes Its wheat crop 58.456.-
604 Winchester bushels.
Official figures for Manitoba give Its wheat
crop nt 26,729,808 Winchester bushels. Pre
liminary official figures make the crop of
Ontario 33,028,079 Winchester bushels , the
total for the two provinces being 59,597,887
Winchester bushels. As the wheat area of
the more eastern provinces was much larger
than In recent years It seems likely that
the total for Canada will reach the highest
of last month's estimates , 63,700,000 Im
perial bushels.
On the whole the changes from a month
ago Increase the total estimate of the
world's wheat crop , but the conditions affectIng -
Ing the crops of the southern hemisphere
are scarcely as favorable as they were com
monly supposed to be when the estimates
used In the table published a month ago
were made. Australia has suffered from
drouth , but this Is now broken , good rains
having fallen throughout Victoria , South
Australia and New South Wales If the
Australasian wheat crop should fall short
of the Broomhall estimates , the largest , 11
may In any case equal or perhaps exceed
the very moderate estimates of the other
two authorities announced last month. The
Broomhall estimate was 54,000,000 and the
Hungarian estimate only 37,000,000 bushels
of sixty pounds , while the estimate of the
Bulletin des Hallcs was 37,000,000 Winchester
bushels. Severe frosts have been reported
from Argentina , but the latest accounts as
to the outlook for the wheat crop In that
country arc not favorable.
As to other crops , the estimate for
France for barley Is 52,167,766 bushels , and
for oats 299.059,074 bushels. The provisional
estimate of the Russian agricultural mln-
Utry gives In Winchester bushels : Winter
wheat , 141,639,000 ; spring wheat , 2roSll,000 ;
total wheat , 417,450,000 ; rye , 717.786,000 ;
barley , 320,141,000 ; oats , 606SSt,000 ; maize
42,779,000.
The official crop report of Austria for the
middle of October represents the oat& crop
as generally satisfactory In quantity nno.
still more so In quality , i\cept In tbt
mountain districts , inalzo Is mostly har
vested , and hardly a medium crop. Duck-
wheat suffered partly from drouth an <
partly from frost In the northern and east
ern provinces , but in the middle zone Is
more satisfactory. The barley crop was
somewhat dcflccnt In quantity and quality
In general , hdwevcr , the cereal crops were
satisfactory the kernels bMng mostly full
heavy and of a good color.
In the mountain districts and In the south
the yield of potatoes was beloiv the average
but In other sections they were satisfactory
and especially so In upper Austria nnd par
of Moravia and east Gallcla , though In tn
last named province the latest part of th
crop suffered somewhat from frost. Dee
roots suffered from drouth more than otbe
root crops , the yield is barely up to th
average , but the quality Is satisfactory.
The fruit crop , though gooJ In the mlddl
zone and In some districts of Silesia and
west Gallcla , Is on the whole dlsappolntlnK
The vintage In lower Austria exceeded th
estimates , and the quality of the most wa
quite good. In Karat and the coast die
trlcts the yield wus only medium , but th
quality In general was satisfactory.
Fall bowing was delayed by drout !
throughout a largo part of Europe , bi.
there Is no reason to apprehend any ma
terlal detriment to the crop from dcla >
though In sonic countries the returns maj
bo somewhat smaller than under more U
\orablo circumstances. In Russia son In
was effected under generally favorable con
ditlons , but the weather was too cold fo
the welfare of the young crops. No Injurj
has been experienced , and In most otho
countries the grain so far as sown has been
favored by subsequent rains and mild tern
perature.

Aovr tleceltc Attention of
federal Authorities.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 12. Except In the
nlooked-for event of a Occurrence of the
ace rioting In the Carcllnas , It Is altogether
mprobable that the government will Intcr-
ere by force or otherwise. The attorney
cneral had another conference with the
> resldent this morning In regard to the
matter , nnd the conclusion was promptly
cached that as the demonstrations were
not directed against the collector of cuv
ems In the performance of his duty na
uch , the government had no authority
under the constitution or laws to exerclsa
ts federal authority. Collector Tolbert was
hot while away from his home and on
mslness entirely disconnected from that ot
his office , and under the circumstances the
government , It In said , has not a shadow
> f right to Interfere. It the collector had
been shot In the discharge of his official
duties and In an effort to enforce the laws
of the United States , the case would have
icen very different and the duty of the
government would have been cloir. In the
> resent case , however , It Is bald that the
awless acts of the mob were not directed
against the execution of the laws of the
Jnlted States , but against the Individual.
The case would have been the same had
Polbert been shot on the highway by a
robber.
Administration officials hove no sjmpathy
w'ith the Carolina rioters and regard their
acts with abhorrence , but up to this time
.here Is no evidence that would warrant any
nterference by the government. The attor
ney general late.last night sent the follow
ing telegram to the assistant United States
attorney at Anderson , near Phoenix , S. C. :
DEPARTMENT OP JUSTICE , WASH
INGTON. Nov. 11. Ernest P. Cochran , As
sistant United States Attomos. Anderson ,
3. C. . You will nt once take energetic steps ,
Incurring the necessary expense , to ascer
tain the exact situation In Greenwood and

whether any such condition of Insurrection
or disturbance evlsts na jimtlflcs the federal
authorities In Interfering to suppress It.
JOHN W. GR1GGS , Attorney General.
To which the following response baa been
received :
ANDERSON. S. C. . Nov. 11. Attorney
General , Washington : My Information Is
that there was much rioting near Green
wood , at Phoenix , Tuesday and Wednesday.
Several negroes killed and wounded. One
white man killed and several wounded.
Thursday there was also some rioting , but
condition quieter. My Information Is that
It Is quiet there now , though the community
Is veiy much excited. Prom all Information
I have I think federal Intervention ts too
late now. H seems the mob was espe
cially anxious to get the Tolberts , and I am
Informed they ale now nil safely out of
their reach. Intense excitement still pre-
vallo there , but no violence now. Will wire
further tomorrow.
