) The first Washington interviewer was Il
woman-Ars Anne Royal. She went to
the capital with claim, and when she fail
ed to prosecute it successfully she took to
writing sketches of public men, and subse-
:quently published little weekly paper on
Capital hill. She became a terror to public
men, and according to Major Ben Perley
Poore, Speaker Polk, afterward president
Of the United States, dreaded Mrs. Royall's
tongue vastly more than he did the ablest
Wing politician in his own state of Tennes;

meet the requirement. If it is impossible
to gauge with much precision the amount of

INFORMATION from every county in
Minneseta leads the Pioneer Press to fix
the total wheat yield of the state at 49,
III, 511 bushels, or about 5,60O,OOO less
than last year. The estimated yield per
acre is II 40 bushels, or 100 less than last
year. This is a deficiency of about Is per
cent. AS threshing is very far from being
completed, and in some cases not begun,
there is ample ground for changing these
figures. Many of the best judges believe
the yield will not exceed 30, coo, 900 bushels.
