guilty, they deserved to be severely punished,
but if they were innocent of the oilensc charg-

CROP REPORT.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The follow
ing statement of the condition of the
cotton, wheat and oats crops was
issued to-day by the department of
agriculture: The reports from the
cotton belt are more favorable this
month than last. In the states of
North and South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida the weather has been
good and the prospects are for an in
crease in the product of from to Is
per cent. In Alabama and all the states
bordering on the Mississippi river,
there is reported too much rain, and
damage from rot and the boil worm,
indicating decrease in the product
since last year. In Tex ) the wealth
er has been generally favorable and
the crop promises an increase of Is
to 20 per cent. The general COM
plant there is the scarcity of labor.
Frosts are generally reported, but
except in few localities the
damage has been slight. The
area painted in cotton, as reported
to this department last spring, was
seven per cent. more than last year.
Wheat-Returns up to November 1st,
show an increase in the wheat of the
United States of 31,000,000 bushels
since 1879. The yield per acre is
somewhat less, but the increase in
the area sown more than counter
balanced the loss of yield. In the
states of Minnesota and California
the yield per acre, as well as the
acreage, shows an increase. Oats
The oat crop of 1880
show a slight decline as compared
with the crop ..of 1879. The area
soon was one per cent more than
the previous year, but the yield per
acre is less. In the north Atlantic
states the out turn is better than last
year, but in all states south of Della
ware there is a great decline. In
Arkansas and Nebraska the crop was
very poor, in Iowa and Minnesota
very good and about average in other
western states. 81 -as

FIRE.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-One wing of
the state insane asylum at st. Peters,
Mlnn., was burned last night. The
S ructure occupied ten years in
building and was completed three
years ago at a cost of half million
dollars. The loss by the fire will
be from 100000 to $15O,OOO, on
which there is no insurance. The
cause of the fire is unknown. It
originated in the basement of the
north wing, which was destroyed.
Different reports state the loss OF
life at from three to fifty, but
no bodies have been found and no
one is surely known to be missing.
When danger became imminent the
superintendent ordered the release
of all the patients, and it is probable
some were overlooked in the confu-
sion, and burned, especially as some
rooms quickly filed with smoke, and
could not be entered by rescuers.
There were 656 patients in the hos
pital last year. The liberated ones
were cared for by the citizens. It is
probable some took advantage of the
opportunity to run away; others wan
dered off aimlessly.
