WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-There has been
good deal of cross-fring for some time
past between Mr.. L. II. Seamans, secretary
of the NIillers' National association, and
Mr.. j. r. Dodge, the statistician of the ag-
rlcultural department. Nh. Seamans objects
to the statement of any estimate of the
probable crop yield III the monthly reports
of the agricultural department. which, he
says, should give simply ''the percentage
of the crops as compared with former years.S'
In an interview telegraphed from Milwau-
kee to New York paper, the secretary of
the MillerS' association is quoted as saying
on yesterday that there is no question that
the actual crop of wheat in 1884 largely
exceeded the government estimate, and
III other ways endeavOrS to throw diScredit
on the government figures. Mr.. Dodge
being questioned about the matter to-day
stated that the estimate he had made of
last years crop had been very generally ac-
cepted by those who are supposed to be thu
best Judges of accuracy in such matters. 1t
was adopted by Bradstreets and other pub
licatiOnS of like reputation. The latest eS-
innate of the agricultural department puts
the probable crop this year at 357, 000 600
bushels, and the people who agree with
Mr.. SeamanS estimate it at $50, O00. 900.
Mr.. Dodge says that one fruitful source of
error on the part of those who find the esti-
mates of the agricultural department too
large is the basis n.which private calculs-
tions rest. They take the acreage as re-
ported by the state assessors, and it is
found by careful inquiries made for the
agricultural department. that the assessor
returns generally vary from to
IL per cent. under the actual acreage. This
was shown by the census returns of 1880,
and is confirmed by other information. A
considerable part of the next monthly re-
port of the agricultural department will be
devoted to review of the evidence that this
returns of assessors are not trustworthy.
Commissioner COlman of the agricultural
department is to deliver the annual address
at the Wisconsin state fair at Madison on
Sept. Q or Sept 10 and Il. HewilI attend
the meeting of the American Pathological
society, which is held in Wisconsin this
year at Grand Rapids. Sept. Is he is to
speak at a great Virginia fair at Falls
Church near Alexandria, Fitzhugh Lee and
John A. Logan being other features of the
program the same day. Sept. % he will
attend the forestry congress at Boston, and
on Oct. 5 he expects to be in st. Louis to
remain through the fair week.

An Alarming Scourge.


WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 30.-A tele-

more victims of a fatal scourge that is rag

MADRID, Aug. 3O.-A riot has occurred
at Almeria, in Audulasia. The increasing
cholera mortality having driven most of the
wealthy residents from the city in large
numbers, the poor people were deprived of
employment This desertion on the part
of rich employers incensed the laboring
people and the feeling of indignation cul-
minated in riotOus outbreak. Many of
the houses of the wealthy were wrecked by

in the conflict that ensued eight persons
were killed and twelve others wounded.
