CHICAGO, Aug 13.-The August crop re-
port, just issued from the Office of the secre-
tary of State, chronicles the facts Of the sit
uation up to August s. On May the wheat
crop promised, by returns then in, an aggre-
gate of 80, 900, 900 bushels. From the August
returns it appears that one-fourth of the
wheat crop, or about 100000 bushels, in
the southern two tiers of counties, and one
half to two thirds of the crop, or about s.
OOO, 900 bushels, in the third and fourth tiers
making total of over II, ZOO, 900 bushels
of wheat in the southern four tiers of coun-
ties--is unsecured, all of which is badly dam
aged and much of which will probably be emil
tirely worthless Oats, it is estimated, will
yield thirtyfour and barley twenty
six bushels per acre. Corn improved
during July, but is yet seventeen per cent.
below its condition on August of last year
In meadows and pastures the clover sown
this year is in good condition. Apples prom.
Use sixty-two per cent, and peaches sixty
four per cent. of an average crop.
Reports at the board of trade, in this city,
are somewhat more encouraging The
weather now is bright and cool, with little
danger of showers, and farmers are busily
| engaged opening their grain to the breeze and
| sun. All stacks and shocks of wheat in the
| outside of the bundles, and partly the
| bundles themselves, may be ruined but
within, while more or less injured, it is
proving to be not entirely lost, and with
proper care may yet do better than it was
feared it would do few days since. Well
| informed persons state that the Clawson va
riety has sustained very much more injury
than red wheat The former is a soft wheat
and quick to absorb moisture and become
damaged, while the latter is hard variety
that can better withstand unfavorabe
weather. Investigation is proving that the
Cawson variety is suffering severely, while
the red variety. although injured. is coming
out in a much better condition. Core
spondents in localities that have suffered
most, and who have the largest amount OF
wheat out, express the hope that from fifty
to seventy five per cent. of the crop may YET

An Asbestos Fire shield.


There was given last evening in the vacant
lot corner of Seventeenth street and New
York avenue, in the presence of several mem
bers of the Fire Board and the police and
fire departments, and miscellaneous crowd
of spectators, an exhibition test of an ashes
tos fire shield. For this purpose large cur
tain composed of woven asbestos, and pre-
sent1ng the appearance of common ducking,
was suspended from two straight posts. On
one side of and close to the curtain was a
frame of wood with a glass window, and on
the other side big pile of kindling wood.
The latter was set fire to, and the pile was q
mass Of flames in an instant The heat was
so great that the spectators were driven back
distance of fifty feet. The effect upon the
asbestos curtain, which hung within ten inch
es of the fire, and up against which the flames
curled and the smoke puffed was nothing
The curtain also acted as an effectuai shield,
besides being non inhammable. The wood
en- frame was not heated, nor did the window
glass crack, although both were within six
inches of the fire and separated from it only
by the curtain. The finger could be placed
upon the latter, and on that part against
which the flames were beating from the op
posite side, and no injury result therefrom.
The experiment was considered highly salts
factory. At the conclusion of the expert
ment the curtain was found to be unchanged
and uninjured in the slightest degree Even
the smoke did not adhere to it. The shield
is a fabric of asbestos mill board or sheathing
covering fine wire, making one solid sheet,
thus strengthening it to allow of it's suspen-
,ion from the upper part of a building and
hang down over the front to the ground to
protect it from exposure to fire. It is regard
ed in very favorable light by the District
fire department..

Dorsey'S Letter to CARRIE d-The Fore
runner of More to Come.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ia letter from
Dorsey to Garfield published here this morn
ing is the first of series shortly to be made
public. Richard J. Hinton, editor of the
Gazette, who was Dorsey's secretary during
the campaign of 1880, kept copies of num-
Der of interesting letters which Dorsey is
now willing be made known. This willing
ne IS is recognized here as On indication of the
| ex-Senator's completely in the Star route
frauds and is regarded as an at
tempt to conciliate the administra-
| ton. On the other hand the
claim is made that Garfield showed all these
letters to Wayne McVeagh after he came into
| the Cabinet, and Dorsey now seeks to show
| that the Star route cases were cooked up fol
the purpose of giving McVeagh chance te
| crush him. The letter seems to be the only
| subject of conversation in this city to day
| The impression is that it is poor stroke o.
| policy on the part of Dorsey to allow it's Cir
culation at this time.
| The State department has received through

Meany Set Free-ThS Promtnents In

DUBLIN, Aug. 13.-Notwithstanding the
seeming apathy OF Minister Lowell in regard
to the arrests of Henry George and Stephen
j. Meany, the correspondent of the New York
Star, the public, and particularly the press,
comment in severe terms on the ignorance
and unwarranted severity of the police whose
inexplicable stupidity caused the govern
ment. in the case of George, pretext for his
arrest. His alleged association with suspects
had no other foundation than the fact that
he entered small shop kept by an active
member of the Land League to purchase a
shirt button. The astute officer who made
the arrest deemed Georges possession of a
copy of his we'll known work, Progress and
Poverty conclusive proof of his guilt
Meany's arrest was made at Ennis on war
rant issued by Earl Spencer, lord lieutenant
of Ireland, which was based upon informa-
ton furnished by detective who had logged
Meany's movements from the moment of his
arrival in Ireland, the charge being that he
was a dangerous character. The de-
tective founded his report upon the
very natural fact that Meany in the
pursuit of his mission as shrewd
correspondent of the New York Star was
seen in frequent conversation with local
leaders of the Land League, which, in the
mind of the detective, seemed proof positive
of the existence of conspiracy. Starting
with this conviction the officer, by the time
he reached Dublin, had magni6ed trivial into
overt acts of deepest criminality, and, after
the manner of his kind, prepared to
swear to anything that the supposed neoes-
sity of duplicating Msany might dictate The
search of Meany's person and luggage having
failed to reveal any reasonable comments,
and further investigation showing conclu
sively that his trip to Ennis was solely for the
purpose of visiting relatives, the authorities
decided to accept bail for his good behavior
for six months, and he was released after 6
detention of several hours. The laundering
of the Irish police and lack of judgment
shown by the local magistrates in failing to
discriminate between press correspondents
and conspirators is severely criticised by
prominent men of all parties, and it ii
known has caused much annoyance to tbs
cabinet.
