DISASTROUS STORAS.

TORONTO, Aug 1.-THE Globe to-day
publishes reports received by telegraph
from all parts of the country showing the
damage done to crops by the recent storms,
from which it appears that in 19 or 90 of the
best grain growing counties, half of the
wheat and barley has been exposed to the
weather, such as will probably reduce the
selling value 25 or 30 per cent. In the
county of Kent alone the damage suffered
during the last few days is enough to con-
vert the harvest. which promised to be one
of the best on record, into one that will fur
nish very poor recompense for the years

YELLOW FEVER.

GALvEoToN, Aug 11.-There seems to be
panic over the yellow fever in Matamoras
and dispatches from there regarding the
number of cases are exaggerated and con-

Laredo, the number of cases on the 9th
was 56, A later dispatch reduced the
number for the same day to forty, but
that was large increase The
daily average of deaths for the
week previous to the 9th
being only thirteen. There are only fifty
cases OF yellow fever at Brownsville at
present and the number OF deaths is not
large, but the health authorities are of the
opinion there is no yellow fever in Texas
except in Brownsville. Fort Brown is in
strict quarantine, the post commander de-

THOSE BLARsTED HINGLISHMEN

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Spirit Of tie
Times says editorially: 1t now seems alb
solutely certain that in their cowardly
efforts to sneak away from fair race with
the Hillsdale crew the English Amateur
Rowing Association have added to their
to their other crimes deliberate and wilful
falsehood in regard to letters of inquiry
said to have been sent to America. No
such communication has been received
here, and all this while the English ANA
teur Rowing Association stolidly waits for
answers to letters which were certainly
not sent as announced and probably have
not yet been written. And these are rep
resentative English gentlemen amateur
Oarsmen.

CHICAGO, Aug 11.-The past few days
haoe been very cool and uncOmfortably SO
at times, and frosts are reported from
Northern Wisconsin, and even in the
suburbs of the city there were light frosts
Thursday morning The cold spell has
however done no damage to gram or
vegetation.
The propeller Menominee is reported by
her captain to have encountered in midlake
en- Tuesday night, a thick cold cloud,
which burst on her deck covering them
with snow and slush TO the depth of six
inches For five minutes the atmosphere
was like that of winter, but as the steamer
was moving rapidly she came into a
warmer temperature. The event is un
precedented here, but the accuracy of the
facts are vouched for by other officers and
passengers and the story is correlated by
the arctic conditions of that night
