THE YIELD OF CORN,
The Crop Out of Danger, and It's Aggregate
Nearly Two Thousand Million Bushels.

CHICAGO, Sept 27-The corn crop of the
United States having passed :he critical stage,
and whatever of danger menaced the cereal
from frost being now ended, owing to its mature
state reports have been received from 400 cor
respondents, giving the area and probable yield
in every county in the ten leading corn-produc-
ing States. and from these have been compiled
estimates of the approximate yield of the crop
of 1885. These estimates have been based on
comparison with the yield of 1884, taking the
ton fer the yield of last year The reports
of the correspondents include not only
the approximate actual acreage but also the
percentage of condition as compared with last
year, and the percentage of increase or decrease
in acreage. This was done to approximate as
closely as possible the actual output the cor
rectness of which method was demonstrated
very fully in the estimate of the wheat crop by
this bureau, and to which figures all the recog
nized statistcians, including the government
bureau, have gradually approached. In Indiana,
Illinois and Kansas the ground plowed up,
owing to the destruction of the winter wheat
crop, and devoted to corn. is closely computed.
In the comparison by States, the returns show
that Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri
have slight increase in acreage over 1884, and
Wisconsin is the only State showing decrease;
but both Minnesota and Wisconsin show a de-
crease in condition. and Missouri also shows a
slight decrease The other States all show an
improvement and in Ohio. Illinois and Indiana
the improvement is marked. This results in
the following comparison by States of the prob
able yield In the ten States named:

End of the Cleveland Strike.

CLEVELAND. o., Sept 27-The strike at the
Cleveland rolling mills is at last ended The
men struck July against indefinite re-
ducton in wages, which the managers had de-
cided to make. Last Thursday the company
agreed TO restore June prices and start the mills.
The majority of the men were in favor of ac
cepting the proposition, but the leaders sought
TO impose other conditions on the company re-
garding the management of the mills. Several
meetings were held. but no settlement was
reached until tonight when large meeting was
held. and the leaders declared the strike off.
The announcement was received with vociferous
cheers. The mills will be started tomorrow
morning at the June prices.

The Advance In Rates Declared Of.

The advance ordered in east-bound rates for
to-day is declared off. The Lake Shore and
Michigan Central, Vanderbilt's lines, are now
taking tilt at the Grand Trunk, which proposes
to carry export business cheaper than the former
kilograms from Chicago are decidedly cheeky.
One on Saturday SAYS: "There was but little
done at the meeting of the Chicago freight COM
mttee, held yesterday afternoon, in the way of
a restoration of east-bound rates. Itwas thought
inexDedient to attept an advance until assur-
ances were had from Indianapolis, Peoria and
st. Louis that those points would advance the
tariff to the proportions above the Chicago figures
provided for in the trunk-line agreement. There
were assurances this would be done. and it
was agreed that the presidents recommendation
to put the July 18th tariff in effect Monday, was
mpracticable. 1t was generally conceded that
nothing had better be done until after the presi-
denJs meeting next Thursday. ?"

Garter is dead He was eighty-f -four years of
age.
With the death of Lord Shaftesbury one of
the greatest of English philanthropists passes
away. He was one of the most familiar figures
in London, and as we'll known and respected in
the worst of the slums as he was in the houses
of Parliament.
Lord Shaftesbury began his public life in
1926, sitting in the lower house for Woodstock
as follower of Canning. His father being then
alive, he was known by the barony attached to
the title--Lord Ashiey-and he soon stepped
into prominence as public man. He was re-
turned for Dorsetshire in 1881 and Bath in 1S47,
and held several minor posts under the Yelling
ton and Peel governments until he succeeded to
his fathers honors in 1851. Lord Ashley was
invited to seat in Sir Robert Peeps Cabinet,
but, finding that the Premier was averse to the
ten-hours' labor bill, he declined office.
The spirit shown by the deceased nobleman in
regard to the labor bill was the principle which
guided Lord Shaftesbury throughout his long
life. He was essentially the friend of the labor
ing man and the benefactor of the oppressed and
needy. Ee did not content himself with the re-
ports of agents or of societies, but went himself
into the workshops and homes of the British
artisans, talked with them on footing OF equal
ity, gained their confidence and esteem, and then
threw himself heart and soul into improving
their condition and softening the relations be-
tween worker and employer
He was equally earnest and equally successful
in alternating the misery of the, very poor in
London. Finding that children remained away
from board schools becase of their rags, he
started ragged schools. He organized hundreds
of unwashed urchins into Clearly clad, hard
working bootblacks, and now the London boot
black brigade is one of the institutions of Lon
don. A lasting monument to 1.-THE Good
Earl" as he universally called, are
the Shaftesbury settlements, tracts of land pur-
chased in different portions of London and COW
cred with pretty little two storied houses con-
tanning from four to six rooms. These dwellings
are rented at very small cost to clerks. artisans
laborers and men of small earnings. They are
prettily built, edgng sidewalks lined with trees,
and are fitted with all the sanitary improvements
of the most expensive dwellings. Included in
each settlement are lecture halls, school houses,
baths, cooperative stores railroad station, pub
lie recreation ground. and a staff of officers to
keep away tramps and disturbers of the peace.
Mr. Childs has approached Lord Shatesburys
idea in his model village at Wayne. Lord
Shaftesbury is succeeded by his eldest son, Lord
Ashley. His second son. Hon. Evelyn Ashley,
was member of the Gladstone Ministry.
