Southern Crops.
BALTIMORE, Aug. l9.-The Baltimore
Manufacturers Record will publish to-mor-
row nearly five pages of special reports,
covering the whole south from Virginia to
Texas, showing the prospects for the crops.
The outlook for business in that section are
remarkably good. Not only was the acre
age of cotton, corn and tobacco crops the
largest on record but the reports are almost
unanimous in stating that the yields of these
crops as well as of smaller crops, excepting
wheat, will exceed their best crops
EVER BEFORE PRODUCED.
1t is also shown that the crops have been
made ct lower cost than in any preceding
year, and the liens on crops for money ad-
vanced to the farmers is much less than
heretofore. Regarding corn the reports
from the whole south are of the best kind,
some stating that the yield will be the best
for years, others the best for twenty years
and the best known. 1t is thought b. the
United States commissioner of agriculture
that the increased acreage in corn over last
year and
THE SPLENDID YIELD
which is now assured will give the south not
less than 100000 bushels Of corn more
than last year. The cotton crop it is be-
lieved is safe for much the largest yield ever
made and for at least 10, 600. 900 to 5000, 900
bales more than last year. OF t.bacco, fruits
and vegetables the crops are the largest ever
made in the south, while rice promises
good crop and sugar far more satisfactory
and profitable crop than in 1884. Stimu-
lated by the unprecedented crops, business
is already showing marked improvement
and the prospect throughout the south for q
fall and winter trade are reported as unusu-
ally good. In the organization of railway
and manufacturing enterprises there is great
activity and the outlook for industrial inter-
ests are particularly promising.
Knights Of Labor.
ST.. LOUIS, Aug. 19.-The action of the
national executive committee of the Knights
of Labor, in issuing q general order to the
Knights employed on the roads west of the
Missouri river, prohibiting the handling or
repairing Of the Wabash rolling stock, has
been followed by no serious results. To-
day the members of the Wabash committee,
which is in session here, are of the opinion
that the full force Of the order will not be
felt by the railroads for several days. Tele-
grams have been received by them from
different parts Of the state, from branch as
sembles OF the national organizations, en-
dnrSrp0 tho of
and indicating their intention
TO STAND BY IT.
Meetings Of the knights all over the west,
will be held, and, as the order is received
by them, it is expected that concerted &C.
ton will be taken, by the 21st at latest.
j. L. Russell, of the committee, says that
the resolutions calling for the impeachment
of United States Judges Brewer, Treat and
Krekel will be carried out, if possible.
Congressman Warner and Gen. Palmer will
draw the articles of Impeachment, which
will be
INTRODUCED INTO CONGRESS
and pushed with all the influence which the
knights can command. Trouble is expected
at Kansas City shortly, as number of the
yard and train men at that point are knights,
and, in obedience to yesterdays order, It is
thought they will refuse to handle Wabash
cars, in consequence of which all the Wa
bash freight will be side tracked.
1:30 P. M.-Nothing has been received
from any point in the state or beyond, Of
any trouble growing out of Yesterdays or
der, and In all likelihood nothing will occur
for y day or two, or until the order shall
have reached the principal points, at least,
on the roads named in tho order of the ma

he whole matter over to the district COM
with power to act, they will
ISSUE NO MORE ORDERS.

hey have some other matters to look after. |
Members of the committee representing the |
Knights Of the southwest system left their
homes last night and will fully explair yes
erday's order to the various parties. The
Wabash committee will remain here and
transact such business as may be necessary.
There has been no delay to passenger trains
70 far, and none seems to be immediate, al
though it is understood the order applies
o passenger coaches as well as freight cars
md other rolling stock; nor has there been
my detention to the freight movement of
rains in the union depot yards.
Up TO late hour tonight there was no

vas not mailed until to-day and therefore it
viii be a couple OF days before any action
an be taken by the various assemblies at
he points on the road involved.
