The Crops in the Northwest,

ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 20.
Harvest began all along the Northern
Pacific to-day. In the entire valley the
week has been characterized chiefly by the
increase of quality of the wheat fields,
which were expected not tc go over No. ].
Under the favorable condition of the past
week the fields are now confidently ex-
pected to give up bounteous yield Of No.
! hard. George Barnes, President of the
Northern Pacific Elevator Company, speaks
very highly of the crop being harvested.
He says that in his long and varied ex-
perience in wheat matters he has never
seen such a wonderful outcome. Six weeks
ago there was apparently n complete
failure. The stalk is rather short, but the
heads are long and the grain plump and
large. Indeed, so large and heavy are the
grains that some fear has been expressed
that careless handling WOULD cause some
shelling, but by commenez zhg early and cut
ting it before it is over-ripe it is hoped to
avoid this contingency. There can be no
question that the crop viii be large. The
few fields that have already been
cut fully bear out the assertion that the
Red River Valley output of wheat viii be
a great one. On the DaIrymple farm har-
vest commenced to-day with 100 self-bind-
ers in row. The oat crop in Cass will
also be a large one and the result big. The
average wheat crop for the immediate Red
River Valley can be set down at twenty
five bushels, and beyond distance of
thirty miles from the river it may fall a
little below it. In Trail, Walsh, Grand
Fork and Pembina Counties the harvest will
commence tomorrow and next day, and
the present fine weather may be taken as a
guarantee that the crop win be secured in
good condition. On the Minnesota the har-
vest was begun in several places and the
yield was good. Five large elevators are
being erected along the line of the More
head Northern for the reception Of the fall
crop. With another week OF fair weather,
and everything points to that now, the
crop of North Dakota viii be cut and in
shock, and the best ever harvested in this

A Novel Experience.

A singular occurrence recently hap
pened at the Mammoth Mine. Tee
men working in the upper tunnel had
to exercise great caution, owing 10 the
fact that they were known to be IN close
proximity TO another shaft containing
one hundred and fifty feet Of water. A few
drops Of water seeping through the roof
gave the danger signal One miner,
however, stuck his pick into the tender
spot, and in an instant the whole resel-
vo:r broke through with a rush and a
roar. There was no time to get out =
the way. The deluge was apOn him
before he knew what was the matter
He was carried by the flood two hundred
and fifty feet toward the mouth Of tic
tunnel BY this time the force of the
water was spent and the man was left
stranded, and he gropcd his way out IS
quickly as he could. Beyond fev
scratches he was uninjured by his novel
experience. .-AmadoT (CgA) Sentinel

Star Chamber Pumping of Informers.
 DUBLIN, March 12.-The secret inquiry at Dublin Castle to privately hear the evidence of the informers continues daily. AS no de- tails are made public no intelligence can be gained of the evidence thus far adduced but the star chamber manner in which the pro- ceedings are being conducted has given rise to some ugly suspicious. It is openly charged that the various informers are being carefully coached and that the testimony to be pre- scented at the trial will clearly show this. Three or four persons were examined to day as to the movements from June to Decem- Der. The last of the twenty-one prisoners who are now awaiting their trial for conspir- acy to murder, and number who are SUD- posed to be able to give evidence of similar character, have been summoned to attend to- morrow. The men in Kilmainham prison charged with conspiracy to murder continue in good health with the exception of Patrick Delaney, charged with attempting to murder Judge Lawson. They are kept in solitary confinement with the exception of two hours daily, when they are marched around yard at 8 certain distance from each other, and even when one of them is allowed to see his legal adviser 8 large table separates them and warden is present at the interview Among the precautions that are taken to pre- vent the prisoners from escaping. besides the armed police, the jail is guarded both by day and night by soldiers.

The Plots Of the Internatienale.
 MADRID, March 12.-The seizure of docu- ments and papers belonging to the secret so- oieties in Andalusia, together with the revela- tions made by some of the anarchist leaders now in custody, has enabled the government to trace the vast network of the socialist and anarchist intrigue which during the last twelve months has assumed serious form, causing brigandish moonlight raids whole sale aggressions on focks, crops, plantations and dwellings of farmers. The organization of this plot is due to the agents of the Inter nationale and the system of terror was so complete that for eight months it defeated the efforts of the police. The arrests in the provinces of Jerez, Cadiz and Seville exceed twelve hundred. It is supposed that the so- cieties contain many thousands of initiated members, though the inner circle was com posed of desperate characters only. The agi- tation is purely anarchist and without con- nection with any political school, though the Internationale has branches in the capital and the chief towns of the peninsula.
