THE allotment for the coinage of stand

ordered at San Francisco, 5000. 900 at Phil

mark being true of western corn, but that
the southern corn crop is an unusually
small one, and there is decrease in the
tobacco yield
TREASURY officials say that the shortage
in the wheat crop will make no difference
in the balance of trade, which is fixed in
our favor for the present so firm as to be
independent of any single cause. The ex-

petroleum and cotton will overbalance the
loss in wheat 1t is not believed that the
net loss on wheat will be anything, be,

ropean crops, if the United States pro,
duced as much this year as last, the price
must be lower.

Whitaker Cut His Own Ears

WASHINGTON, August 16.-The tenor
of the verdict in the Whitaker case
has been the subject of good deal Of
speculation. 1t has been generally un-
derstood that it was averse to Whitta-
ker, but this was not positively known
until now The report of the court
martial arrived at the Office of the
Judge Advocate General some time
ago, but owing to General Swaim's at
tendance upon the patient at the White
House it was not examined. 1t is now
being revised and will be ready for sub
mission to the President for his final
action Just as soon as he is able to give
his attention to it. The essence of the
verdict is the finding of Whitaker gull.
ty of committing the alleged outrage
on himself This verdict Is unanimous
and is coupled with the unanimous rec
ommendation that he be dismissed from
the service. The Judge Advocate Gener-
al will approve this verdict, there is not
the slightest doubt about that, and thus
will end the most remarkable military
trial on record. 1t has cost the govern
ment nearly $25, 200 to decide who
mutilated Whittaker's ears, and even
now, when it is all over and the verdict
is that the boy himself did the job to
excite public sympathy, it will be re-
ceived with some doubt by good many
people.

July Storms on the Sun.

The sun was storm swept through the
whole month. The clear air that ring
ed the earth on the 1st was soon after
filled with clouds and thunder storms,
and was swirled here and there into
death-dealing tornadoes, so that the
astronomers telescope became useless.
But in all the intervals of fair weather
it showed the suns face yet spotted
and wrinkled and trimmed with erupt-
ions of flaming gas. In the middle Of
the month some of the spots, or holes,
were of enormous magnitude, and OF
wonderful completely in shape and de-
tail. Again at the close of the month
huge groups and rows of spots were
stretched across the disk, and the view
with high magnifers was startling and
exceedingly impressive.
The most that astronomers are able
to say with confidence about these spots
is that they are holes of size and depth
almost beyond belief; that they are pro-
duced by disturbances in the glowing
matter of the sun, and that they are
governed by some law that causes
them to wax and wane in number, in a
period ofabout eleven years. There
were no spots to speak of in 1873; they
began to appear frequently in 1880; in
1888 they will be most numerous, and
in 1889 the sun will again be free from
them. -NeU York San.

soon the farmer typiiied in the forego-

THE Soldiers Reunion at Caldwell,
o., which has come 10 be one of the
established institutions of the country,
will be held this year on the 9th of
September. There are many features
about it which distinguish it from all
other army meetings. One Is the re-
latively large number of private sol
diers who take part in it; another is the
accurate reproduction of army life
which is seen in the encampment;
another. the high rank and standing of
the orators of the day who have been
induced by the energetic solicitations
of the Hon. ]. NJ. Dalzell, the perpetual
Secretary Of the Reunion, to otficiate
in successive years. Gen Sherman be-
gan the list in 1874; Gen. r. Z. Hayes
followed in 1875; Gen. Fitzpatrick IN
1876: President Hayes in 1877; Gen.
Lew Wallace in 1873; and Gen. Garfield
in 1879. As the New York Tribune re-
marks. the orator for this year Is not
yet announced. 1t is hard to say wheth-
he is tobe congratulated on the dlstln-
guished company in which he will find
himself, or condoled with on account
of the severe comparisons to which he
will be subjected. The meeting prom
ises to be unusually animated and sue
cessful.
