An Ovation to the Queen.

MADRID, Oct. 1.-The Queen and family
have returned from La Graya. They were
given an ovation by the populace. The
streets from the depot to the palace
were thronged with carriages and
pedestrians, and an enormous crowd
filled the depot, including many
officers of the garrison. The Queen and
Princesses were greatly cheered; shouts were
raised, Long live the King and Queen!"
Occasional cries hostile to France we're
heard. The Queen appeared twice on
the balcony of the palace in response to
the plaudits of the multitude Afterward
group of excited youths went in the drec-
ton of the French embassy, crying: Long
live the Queen and King!" Down with the
Frenchla but dispersed on seeing the embassy
protected by strong body of police. A num-
Der of people made friendly demonstration
in front of the German legation. Placards
were posted in various parts of the city vio-
lently attacking France. A meeting of the
principal French residents of Madrid was
held, at which the insults to the king were
strongly condemned and cordial sympathy
with Spain expressed.

OHIO CROPS.
General Reduction in the Average Yield
Most Products.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 1.-The October crop re-
port of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture
based on returns from about six hundred
township correspondents, will give the fol-
lowing results of actual threshing. The fol-
lowing are the estimates: Wheat, acres
threshed to date, COG 222; bushels produced
for the same, 6,060, 449; total for the State at
the same rate, %, sos, 1856 bushels, against
40, 600 bushels last year. Rate per acre
on acreage sown, SO bushels; rate on acreage
harvested, 10 bushels. Oats, acres threshed
to date, 1876 104 bushels; produced from the
same, 4, AZ, OBS; yield per acre, 326 bushels;
total for the State at the same rate,
21,-l4,O66 bushels, against 1886,
600 bushels last year. Corn, condition
compared with October 1, 1882 76
per cent; damage done by frost,
26 per cent; probable total about 68 900, 900
bushels, against 80, 900 last year. The
damage by frost was very severe in the
northern half of the State, and light in the
southern half The condition of the follow
ing crops is in comparison with full aver
age crop or condition represented by 100 per
cent: Potatoes 103, sweet potatoes II, to-
bacco IA, sorghum Y, clover seed 78, apples
"a, grapes 54 Last month potatoes were
given at liz. The drought has injured late
potatoes and reduced the general average
condition to 103. The estimates on wheat
and oats are the final ones for the year.
These are based on the actual returns from
the threshing machines of large amount of
threshing and are as accurate as it is possible
to make them. The assessors returns next
year will probably place both crops about 3
per cent. lower than these estimates No
further crop report will be made this year
except the final one Dec. l.

Belgian officer recalls the fact that
Prince Li-Hung- Chang, who commands the
Chinese forces on the frontier of Tonqun,
was, with several other young Chinese off
GERS, attached to the regiment of Carabineers
in Brussels under the auspices of the King,
about sixteen years ago, They entered as
prvates, and Li-Hung- Chang rose success
lively to the rank of corporal, sergeant, quar-
termaster, and sergeant-major. He lived in
barracks, mounted guard and performed all
the duties of his position. He was very in

soon as he had fulfilled his duties, he was in
a hurry to leave the barracks, and often re-

the only one of which he'wa guilty, which
was winked at. He did not keep aloof from
his comrades, among whom he was very pop

houses to which he was introduced.
One thing worried him like a nightmare

fashion. Soon after his arrival in Brussels
he applied to his governor for leave to cut it

round at the top of his head, which be never

renewed his application, and at last, through
the influence OF friends at court, he was al

Prince Li-Hung- Chang had no love for

never spoke of but as those dogs OF French

Hog Cholera and Pleuro-Pneumonia.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-During the past sum-
mer DIR. Salmon, of the Agricultural Depart
ment, has been conducting a series of expert
ments intended to ascertain the causes and
means of prevention of hog cholera and
pleuro-pne umonia among cattle, at the cattle
station near this city. About thirty cows
have been subjects of experiment. Fifteen
were inoculated to ascertain if the lung dis
ease which prevails about Washington was
contagious, but no results that establish that
conclusion followed incubation. Other ex-
periments were made to discover system of
vaccination to protect hogs and chickens
from cholera. The greatest obstacle encoun-
tered was the lack of stability in hog virus
and its liability to deteriorate. Virus must
be cultivated so as to keep it of uniform
strength, and as the best means of doing this
is yet unknown, it must be ascertained by
further experiments. Better results have
followed the investigations into the charac-
ter of the virus in chicken cholera, and DR..
Salmon expressed the opinion that means of
protecting chickens from that disease will
soon be known.

The Sale of stamps in New york.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-Up to the close of bust
ness hours to-day there were sold at the post
Office 1, $50 600 two-cent stamps, $4,000 four
cent stamps, and 10000 two-cent envelopes
The crowd at no time was such as to cause
confusion, and the fact that the two-cent de-
nomination were called for mainly made
possible an enormous sale in a comparatively
short time. One man on each side of the
postoffice was kept busy telling people that
their old stamps were better than they were
before the change, and that the old two-cent
stamps were good tor any point in the United

What doyou think Greely's chances of

THAT is a difficult question to answer.
The conditions of the ice change from day to
day, and even from hour to hour, so that it
Is impossible to estimate his chances He
was to leave Lady Franklin bay not later
than the lst OF September and l suppose he
dld so. he will find the supplies which the
Neptune left intact and he will also be able
to use two-thirds OF the provisions left at
Carey island by he Mares expedition. Orig
! 1nally there were 500 ratious here and [
estimated that two thirds of them could be
used. Greely will also find a whaleboat
there, II he gets so far south. In addition to
the 600 rationS which we left on the Grinnell
Land coast We cached quantity of fur cloth
ing. We do not know the condition of
Greely's men, and that is another most i'm
portant factor in the calculation of his
chances. If he reaches Littleton island he
may be able to divide his party up among
the Eskemo along the Greenland coast
and get some help in that way.
You place no confidence in the stores
from Eskemo sources of disaster to the
party?"
Not the slightest 1t was very foolish to
send these reports to the United States, for
they were absurd on their face. One of these
rumors was current in st. Johns before we
sailed north, and did not think it of suf-
tcient importance to report it. Only need
less alarm and anxiety would have been
caused
You have been severely criticised for not
establishing base of supplies on your way
north, and for not having done more for the
