CROP REPORTS.
A Plan for Securing Reliable Figures
Rapidly Growing In Favor.

Plan for Securing Reliable Figures
Rapidly Growing in Favor.
The matter Of reliable crop reports, made
through state and national organizations, to
offset the colored reports manufactured and
circulated in the interest of speculation, is
beginning to attract widespread attention.
Secretary Young, of the state board of immi-
grafton, was among the first to aggitate
the importance of reports secured
through such agencies, and largely
through his efforts the perfection
of some system for scarrying out the idea
constituted one of the main subjects considered
at the recent Interstate Agricultural conven-
ton held at Chicago. Not only that, but
legitimate grain and produce dealers are aiding
in inviting the attention of producers to it by
paragraphs in their regular and special market
reports, pointing out the benefit accruing to
them through its operation, and recent reports
state that DIR. Loring, United States COM
missioner of agriculture, is also favoring the
movement, and it now seems certain that, CO.
operating with state organizations, plan will
soon be devised and put into execution by
which the exact status of all the leading
crops, viz: acreage, yield when harvested,
amount of old crop carried over, condition of
growing crops, etc etc, will be known from
month TO month.

1.-THE MASCOrTE." ;"
Magnificent Inauguration Of the Season of
the Fay Templeron Comic Opera Com

Magnificent Inauguration Of the Season of
the Fay Templeron Comic Opera Com
pany.
A large and fashionable audience filled the
Opera house last evening, on the occasion of
the first presentation here of the charming
comic opera, "The Mascotte," by the Fay
Templeton company. The opera abounds in
charming and catching melodies, and spark
ling and witty dialogues, and though some
what long, it does not weary the auditors.
The company is remarkably balanced, and, al
though none of its members can be called
bright particular stars, all were good singers
and exceptionally good actors. Miss Temple
ton scarcely filled public expectation on her
first appearance, but grew constantly in favor
as the opera progressed, and became
the rage long before the second
act was concluded. She possesses
a rich mezzo- o-soprano voice, especially good in
the lower register. She is an actress Of rare
capacity, naive, bewitching and nonchallant.
Her singing of the Gobble Song was especial
" effective, and with the accompaniment Of
Mr.. Seth NJ. Cranes magnificent baritone,
elected several hearty and imperative encores.
Alice Vane (who, by the way, is the mother Of
Miss Templeton) made an admirable Fiametta,
singing and acting her role with dscrimina-
tlon and high artistic merit. Mr.. John Tenn
pleton, the father of the star, was an irresist-
IDLY comical Prince Lorenzo, and kept the au-
dience In roar during all the time he was on
the stage. Mr.. w. NJ. Fuller made very fine
Rocco. Miss Alice Coleman as the pet of the
pages made hit with her cornet solo, being
twice recalled. The chorus, while not strong,
was well drilled and entirely acceptable. The
performance will be repeated this evening and
at the Wednesday matinee, and "Olivette"
will be given on Wednesday evening. The
success of the company is assured.

SMOKING OUT AsWINDLE.
A Serious Charge Made Against St Pau
and Minneapolis Employment gency.

Chief of Police Weber yesterday received
the following letter from the chief of police
of Kansas City, Mo. If the letter states facts,
swindle pure and simple is being practiced,
and the city authorities should at once take
steps to prevent its being further practiced,
and also to secure the conviction and punish
ment of the perpetrators for acts already done.
The letter is as follows:
KANSAS CITY, Nov. =, 1881.
Chief of Police, st. Paul MINI:
Dear sir-There arrived in this city to-day
from your city about forty laboring men who
had been shipped here by man who is running
an employment office opposite your Union
depot, under the name of VIM. A. Miller. This
swindler has shipped these poor men here on
a promise of getting them work when they
arrived. They found that they had been swim
died. This man Miller promised these men
that on their arrival here they would be i'm
mediately shipped to New Mexico, but they
found to their surprise no one wanted men
to go to New Mexico.
1t appears that there is two places where
this swindling is done, st. Paul and Minneap-
oils. These men inform me that there will be
sixty more men that will start from st. Panl
to-day on the same mission. These men in
form me that they paid Sl2 for railroad fare,
and that the employment agent made 50 as
commission by the procuring these men to
buy their tickets. This transaction is an out
rage on ignorant men and the swindle should
be stopped. Yours truly,
THOMAS NJ. SHEERs, Chief of Police.

FIRE DEPARTMENT CHANGE.

Organization of the New Board of Fire
Commissioners - An AuspiclOus Com
mencement of the New Order of Things
Yesterday marked another era in the history
of the fire department of st. Paul-the trans.
fer of the organization and apparatus from
the direct control of the city council to the
board Of fire commissioners, created by an act
of the present extra session of the legislature,
an official copy of which was published in the
GLOBE yesterday morning.
The proceedings of the transfer took place in
the office of R. 0. Strong, chief of the depart
ment, at 2:30 p. m. There were present to
witness and take part in the ceremony, Mayor
Rice, City Attorney Murray, Comptroller
Roche, City Clerk Prendergast, Aldermen
Allen, Grace, Otis and Cornish, Chief Engi-
neer Strong, Assistant Engineer Delaney, and
members OF the board OF fire commissioners,
as created by the legislative act. viz, Messrs.
Frank Breuer, VIM. B. Dean and j. C. Prem
dergast.
As preliminary City Attorney Murray ad.
ministered the oath of office to the members
of the board, when they perfected their organ.
izatlon by electing Frank Breuer president, and
Chief Strong, as secretary pro tenn.
Aid. Otis, chairman of the council fire
department committee, then briefly explained
euO cta1uo VI tuC ucpdItmcuL, anu especially
with reference to the action of the council
during the last few months toward perfectine
and strengthening the organization, closing
by formally turning over to the board, on be.
half OF the city government, the property of
the department.
Then followed an informal exchange OF
opinion upon matters partially acted upon BY
the council, and also with reference to the
construction to be put upon several clauses OF
the law creating the board. The discussion
upon this latter subject resulted in general
verdict that while in one or two cases the law
might have been improved, that in all esse n
tial matters the interests of the city had beer
carefully guarded, and that the
management of the department un.
der the new plan would prove more com.
plete, prompt and energetic, from the fact oil
its being less cumbersome and complicated
and as natural consequence of these resul is
equally If not more economical.
The board is composed of well.known citi
zens Of recognized good judgment and bust
ness integrity, and two of whom, Messrs
Breuer ard Prendergast, have considerable
practical experience in fire matters, and all Of
whom have evidently accepted their positions
with the determination to perform their du
ties to the best interests of our Young ant
rapidly growing city so far as in them lies
All in all, the change promises well.

The Would-be Assassin Arraignsd for
Trla1-Who He Is.

Trla1-Who He Is.
New YORK, Nov. 14.-Col. ]. H. Wells was
arraigned in the Tombs police court to-day,
for attempting to blackmail Jay Gould. In.
spector Byrnes applied to Judge Bixley for q
remand, to enable him to procure evidence to
sustain the complaint. The prisoner was
then taken back to police headquarters and
locked up. Tt is estimated that Inspector
Byrnes is in possession of documentary evi.
dence of an important character against Wells
not yet published. jay Gould did not appear
in court.
In the afternoon Wells was again arraigned,
accompanied by his counsel, Algernon Sui.
livan, and number of relatives. Inspector
Byrnes submitted number of letters written
by the accused, which were carefully looked
over by Justice Bixby and Counsel Sui
livan, after which the latter applied fo1
postponement of the examination on the
ground that he had been retained late in the
afternoon and had not had time to prepare
of blackmail, he said he was confident he
could show that his clients conduct was
prompted by vagaries of insanity, and no re.
sponsibility could rest in him. BE
also thought that as he became more
familiar with the details of the case,
he might waive examination. Inspector
Byrnes affidavit was then taken, and in it he
stated that he believed Jay Gould's life was
in danger while the prisoner was at
large, and he requested his detention.
He also charged that letters were
written merely for the purpose of blackmail.
The examination was adjourned till the 10Th
inst, Judge bixby ordering the warden OF
the prison to treat him (the prisoner) as if In.
sane until his mental condition was deter.
mined.
THE MANS RECORD.
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-A gentleman who
knows Col. Wells, the man who tried to black.
mail Gould, and his history during the war,
writes to the Times that Wells was accused
of fraudulent use of his position in the COM
missary department at Washington, and the
charges were SO well proven that he was driven
from his office, although through the influence
of friends, he Was not entirely shelved. Wells
is, he says, by no means highly connected in
New York, but that his immediate relatives
are poor and needy.

including, it is said, list of local members
and Fenian organizers throughout the coun-

in the cellar of an Irlshman named John Tobin,
in Manningham, Isuburb of Bradford. A
mysterious box sent from America to Rolph

with great precaution, at Woolwich arsenal,
under the idea that 1t was an Internal machine,

REMARKABLE SCENES.
DUBLIN, Nov. 14.-One of the most remark
able scenes ever Witnessed in connection with
the administration of the law IN this country
was presented at the offices of the land COM
mission on Saturday, which was the last day
for receiving applications for reductions Of
rent until next rent day in March or May.
Fourteen thousand applications were made
during the day and night. The court sat un-
til midnight, and applications came from
ali parts. One lawyer presented 1900 from
Ulster, another 900 from Galway, Tipperary
and Cork; about 1000 came from Kerry and
200 from Donegal. In fact there was not q
county in Ireland but sent applications.
There are now over 10000 applications
before the commission. Batches of fresh
cases come by almost every train. Curiously
enough, among the latest arrivals,
about IL O'Clock, was a pile from
Parnell's own county, Wicklow; yet it would
be mistake to attribute this rush of cases to
break down of the influence of the League
Thousands are not paying, although msjori-
ty OF the latter class Is liberal. It can only be
matter of time when they come into court,
after they find the court giving reductions
on demand. Meanwhile there may be much
trouble with the more contumacious tenants.
RENT PAYING.
DUBLIN, Nov. 14.-The experience of ex-
tensive land agents is that rents are being
paid in Sligo, Roscommon, parts of Galway,
Limerick, Queens county and Kilkenny, but
in Wexford, Clare, Kerry, an other counties
there is a general determination not to pay
