translated out of the original languages hut, as
the author confesses in his preface, .'out of

translation. It's editor, John Rogers, who for
some inexplicable reason adopted the nom de
plume Of Thomas Matthews" was treated with
great consideration by Edward vi, but on the
accession of Mary he was arrested, and, after an
imprisonment of two years, was burned at
Smithfeld. This Bible became the foundation
of the Authorized Version of 161I. The next to
appear was edition in 1880 by Richard Taver-
ner This, also, was revision of former issues,
but the work was well done. Other English
versions of the Scriptures published in the six

THE CROP OUTLOOK.
Little Change From Previous RepOrts-Ii
n Critical Stage.

Little Change From Previous Reports-In
Critical Stage.
CHICAGO, July Pin summarizing its
latest crop reports the Farmers Review
says:
The harvest Of winter wheat now nearly
completed furnishes no ground for increas'
ing our estimate already given Of the crop,
but rather to the contrary since from Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri come reports
of many fields not plowed up in expectation
of partial crop left standing, because they
would not pay for the labor Of
harvesting Reports of injury to spring
wheat from rust insects or other
cause come from some localities, but as yet
do not indicate such injury as to apprecia-
bly, affect the output Of the crop which is
rapidly approaching harvest and promises
an average yield for acreage sown. Taking
the crop as whole it is in critical stage
now, and few days of unfsvorable weather
might work great injury. Corn has made
wonderful advance since our last report. Ii
is in good condition for the season Of the
year and affords no grounds for worry.
With the average weather for the next six
weeks q magnificent crop will be realized.

IRON AND STEEL STATISTICS.

Complete Returns OF the Production Dur
Ing the First Half of the Year.
PHILADELPHIA, July 27.-The American
Iron and Steel Association has received from
the manufacturers complete statistics of the
production of pig iron and Bessemer and
open-hearth steel in the United States in the
first half Of 1885, together with the statistics
of the stocks of pig iron on hand and unsold
at the close of that period. In the first half
of 1885, the total production OF pig iron was
2,l50,8l6 net tons of 1000 pounds, against
2,26!, ,02l tons in the first half of 1884, and
2,522,592 tons in the second halt. IL will
be observed that IN the second halt OF 1884
more PIG iron was produced than in the first
half. The production of anthracite pig iron
declined in the last half Of 1884, as COM
pared with the first half but the production
OF charcoal and bituminous pig iron in.
creased.
In the first half of 1885 the production
Of all kinds of pig iron declined as COM
pared with the last halt of 1884. The stocks
Of pig iron on hand and unsold in the hands
of makers or their agents at the close ofthe
first half of 1885, amounted to COZ GIG net
tons, against 593, 900 tons at the close Of
1884, and 533, 500 tons at the close of 1888.
The aggregate increase in the first half Of
1885 was nearly 100000 tons.
From the close of 1884 to the end of June
last, charcoal stocks increased 25,908 tons,
bituminous increased 44,4O6 tons, and an
thracite decreased 40, 1893 tons, net increase
1896 tons.
From these statistics the Secretary of the
American Iron and Steel Association con-
cludes that pig iron manufacturers, especial
ly the western bituminous makers, have been
making too much pig iron during the first
half of the present year. The rolling mill
troubles in the West are doubtless wholly re-
sponsible for the accumulation of bitumin-
Gus stock. Obviously it would be unwise,
he thinks to increase the gap that now ex-
ins between production and consumption,
unless furnace men deliberately wish to
make pig iron and hold it for rise and
e able to hold it.
The production of Bessemer steel ingots
in the first half of 1885 was 1884 net
Ms against 723 050 tons in the second half
OF 1884, and Sl6,945 tons in the first half OF
1884. The half year Just closed shows a
in of 1864 net tons, which is due in
part to the demand for Besssmer steel nails
aud other purposes. As compared with the
6rst halt Of 1884, however, the first OF 1885
shows decrease of 5360l tons. The pro-
duction OF Bessemer steel rails in the first
half Of 1885 was 453,446 net tons against
So. PSI tons in the last half Of 1884, and
593, $40 tons in the first half The falling
off as compared with the first six months Of
1884 was lao, 924 net tons, and as compared
with the second six months it was 70,S05
tons. The production of open hearth steel
ipgors in the first six months of 1885 was
81, 1855 tons, against 59,S73 in the second
hsl of 1884, and 7l,744 tons in the first

ELRoY, Wis, July 27.-A box was shipped
on the express Saturday night from Black
River Falls to Chicago. The messenger be-
came suspicious of the contents and tele-
prsphed to the authorities here. On the
arrival Of the train at this place the box
was opened, and inside Was found q man
armed with 38 calibre revolver a billy, a
razor, bottle of chlorofcrm and bunch OF
cord. He refused to give his name. The
box was shipped to Sidney l.. Barnard,
Chicago. Two more persons, supposed to
be eonfederstes, were arrested here yesser-
day. and all three are in jail. 1t is sup
posed that they had planned to rob the
mail and express cars, Nothing is known
here regarding the identity of the men.

At Black River Falls large black box was
loaded on the car. 1nsome way Pierce was
led to suspect that the box contained human
freight. he piled boxes and bundles upon
it and telegrsphed to Elroy for posse. At
that place six men boarded the car and pro-
ceeded to smash the box with an axe. At
the second blow an opening was made,
through which mans knees appeared. A

Subsequent Developments showed that the

THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

Why the President Delays Extending
Them-A Conference Proposed.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-TGers a. besa a
general revival of the discussion o. anne ID
ments Of the Civil Service rules in the last
few days, arising apparently rom aremsrk
By Judge Thoman that he was soon to have
. conference with the President, in com.
pany with Commissioner Eaton, on the sub
ject. Ths topic of the proposed conference,
It is understood, was to have been the re.
lstions OF the postal service to the Civil
Service rules. 1t is, however, clear that
the conference has been abandoned,
and that the President has frankly
given as his reason that an sxtention OF the
civil service rules at this time, unless for
some urgent cau5e. or TO mess some - prsss. ,.ss
BILE. The President is further quoted as
saying that the contest between the spoils
system and reform methods is reaching its
height, and tremendous pressure has been
brought to bear against the position taken
by the Administrations, and that political
policy and loyalty as well as devotion to
the best interests OF the public service re-
quire further action to be careful and deib-
crate. In recent conversation with
prominent reformers he is said to
have claimed that he has thus far
protected the Civil Service Law from any
intentional violation in any of the depart
ments, and that his Cabinet officers have
not countenaneed q change which they be-
Eeved to be prejudicial to tie best interests
of the service Some mistakes, he coneid-
ers, have been made, and were inevitable,
but he claims that in no case has there been
q removal where it was not believed that an
equally good or better man cosld be placed
in the position, or where there was not suffi-
cient reason for the action taken. The
changes necessary to improve the service, to
equalize it politically and to carry out his
views have not aA been made As the num-
Der of advisable changes diminishes the
pressure must increase. 1t will be much
more dificalt n his opinion to show as good
q record for the next FIVE months as for the
past FIVE, but he insists that there will be no
deviation from the course marked out while
be has power to restrain and knowledge Of
the facts, and that there is no disposition
among his Cabinet to depart from those
principles. His scheme Of administrative
reform contemplates the continued substitu-
ton of better officials for poorer ones until
he is satisfied with the efficiency and non
partisan character of the service, and when
that time arrives civil service reformers
have full confidence in his intention to
promptly and boldly extend the civil service
classification TO embrass all non-political po-
sitions.

WAsHISGroS, July 21.-In the general
orders of the Grand Army Of the Republic
formally announcing the death of Comrsds
Ulysses S. Grant, after paying tribute to the
gallant services Of the deceased, the orders
continue: Measured BY the number 6f en-
gagements in which he participated; BY the
physical difficulties met and overcome; by
the members engsgedin actual battle under
his leadership; By his mastery compre-
hension and quick adaptation of
the changing and therefore
untried conditions resulting from
Improvements in arms; by the yastness of
the strategic combinations be wisely con-
eeiVed and successfully guided; and by the
results achieved for his country, for his
countrymen, for liberty and law everywhere,
he was the peerless soldier of his own age,
and without q superior in any other. His
title to place among the statesmen of all
time was established By the supreme wisdom,
which in the day of 6nal triumph dictated
those terms Of surrender, which in the COM
pass of an hour well nigh healed the wounds
of four years Of war. He was called By
the imperative voice Of his fellow
citizens to the Office of President Of the
United Ststes For eight years he stood in
their chief place, and surrsndering then his
trust left to his successor a country which
in every element Of present strength and
promise OF future prosperity and glory, sur
passed the dream Of the most s:nguine."
= = = The citizen of a christian land
he adorned the greatness of his public life
by the practice of those simple virtues
which is the ful6llment of the law. The
ssnctities of home-the chief pillars
of our Stste-tound in him devout
observance. In other days the
mothers Of the land builded affairs to such
as he. Consciously walking over the road
where only his footprints hnger, and towards
the goal he has now reached, his comrades
of the Grand Army make to his memory
this, their last frsternal sslutation.
The orders recommend that department
announce day for an open
session, that each comrsde may have op-
portuDity to pay the tribute Of respect his
full heart prompts, and direct that the
usual badge of mourning be worn for sixty
DAYS.
