WASHINGTON, July 14.-Prof. Dodge,
statiStician of the agricultural department,
in carefully-written report on the cOndi-
ton OF wheat crops, says to farmers that
the wheat harvest of the world in 1885 will
not be an average one. Hence, prices will
eventually advance, but it should be re-
membered that it requires full year TO
move the crops of the world. Heavy har-
vests following the deficiency do not depress
prices materially for many months after
ganering. The elimination of the effect
is often in the following year. So the
large production of last year now fills
the granaries of Europe and America
and prices are low in the face of current
crop failures. No great advance will occur
until the excess of stocks shall be con-
sumed. Let the farmer, therefore, who is
not pressed for money, deliver slowly until
the commercial stocks are depleted, watch
markets and if he can hold until late in the
autumn or winter he may proftbY the scar
city. But he must not assume the exist
ence of the scarcity, which is prophesied by
the bulls of the present hour and head for
extraordinary prices, refusing reasonable
advances or his ultimate loss of price. in
interest and rOttage, may prove a sorer ca
lamity than the early autumn sales. This
is true word for the ear of the wise farmer.

Failed to lynch Him.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 14.-At Ma
rine, Ind, last Saturday afternoon, col
Ored man named Wallace assaulted four
teen-year-old daughter Of well-known citi-
zen named VinSon and forcibly accomplished
his purpose. The girl was thrown into
spasms, and her condition had grew hourly
more alarming until yesterday. when her
death was declared to be but a question of
few days. The feeling against Wallace
reached fever heat last night, and when it
became evident that an attempt would be
made to lynch the brute, Sheriff HoI-
man resolved to protect his prisoner and
enforce the law at all hazards, and sur
rounded himself with a strong guard. At
l2:45 a mob organized in the rear of the
Jail and a few minutes later made a des-
perate Eassault. thy were met
by Sheriff Holman and his guard,
who, after giving warning, fired
a volley, instantly killing James Kelley and
wOundlng three or four others. The dead
and wounded were carried away and the
leaders of the mob, after short consulta-
ton, decided to postpone further hostilities
until tonight.

Virginia Republicans.

RICHMOND, Va, July 14.-The delegates
to the state Republican convention, which
meets tomorrow, are arriving by every
train. From present indications the fight
for governor will lie between Hon. John S.
Wise and Attorney General Frank S. Blair.
The friends of each are sanguine that they
have a majority of the delegates. Wise's
friends claim that he will be NOM
mated on the first ballot, while some
Of Blair'S adherentS think that Henry
c. Bowen of Smith, who expects
possibly to come in as a dark horse,
will get enough votes from the southwest
ern delegations to defeat nomination on
the first ballot, and that then their eandi-
date will make a,good showing against Wise
and possibly secure the nomination. Sena-
tor Malone is claimed as Wise'S strongest
supporter, and he is considered the power
indeed behind the throne. Hon. William
Lamb, mayor of Norfolk, will be temporary
chairman of the convention.

The Spanish Mission.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The applicants
for the Spanish mission will equal if not
exceed the number of applicants on file at
the state department for any of the forei gn
missions. The office of minister to Spain
is regarded as one of the most desirable ap-
pointmentS to foreign countries. AS yet no
action has been taken toward a successor to
Mr.. Foster. When he left Washington for
Spain to negotiate a second commercial
treaty between the United States and that
country the appointment of his successor
was postponed until his return.
Mr.. Lee, the recently-appointed secretary
of the United States legation at Vienna,
Austria, is expected to arrive at his new
post of duty next week. On his arrival
United States Minister Francis will take
final leave. Mr.. Kelley is still in Paris.

The Dried Beef Poisoning.

KANKAKEE, ILL.,, July 14.-Dr. Utley,
of the state board of health, has completed
an investigation at Momence of the dried
beef poisoning, and says: Poisoning was
surely caused by the beef. After care
full examination it seems impossible
that the persons putting up that
meat did not know that it was
poisonous. The exact nature of the poison
l cannot tell because of the inferior micro
scopic facilities here. The investigation is
necessarily incomplete because no pOst-mor-
TEN examination has been held. Were
the powers of the state board of health
enlarged the guilty in such casses
could be more quickly found and punished
The people of Momencle will, under legal
counsel, attempt to discover the guilty
parties. No more deaths from the sick
ness have occurred, though several are yet
in critical condition.

Northwestern Crops.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, July 14.-Hon. c. T.
Freeman returned to-day from trip to his
Dakota farm, situated forty miles east of
Huron. Mr.. Freeman brought with
him samples of corn, wheat and
oats of the crop of 1885.
The wheat was planted April 70, the corn
May 10, and oats May %. The corn
measured four feet in beight and looked
bright and healthy. Wheat and oats were
heavy, with a promise of well-filled
heads, barring accidents for the
next few weeks. A portion of the
wheat came from Mr.. Freeman's farm
and portion from near Pierre. Speaking
of the crops in that section, Mr.. Freeman
said that unless serious setbacks were ex-
perieneed in the shape of storms, or too hot
weather, the wheat yield in Dakota this
year would be greatly in excess of any pre-
viOus year. In many place a year ago,
owing to a prolonged drought, fields
were left uncut, the grain not standing
above a foot in height. This season the
same field gave gave promise of an abund-
ant yield. In Sphinx county alone it was
estimated, from present appearances, that
the yield would be fully loco, coo bushels
an increase Of 20 per cent. over
last year. On his own farm
and adjacent holdings, Nh. Freeman
estimated the yield, always providing no
drawbacks occurred, at about twenty-five
bushels To the acre. AgriculturistS further
wesr have informed him that many fields in
their vicinity would yield thirty bushels to
the acre. Eastern Dakota fields presented
fine appearance, all the cereals show up well.
In conclusion Mr.. Freeman said that in his
opinion the resources of all the railroads
penetrating that region would be taxed to
their utmost to move the crop in 1885. Mr..
Robert Elliott returned from a pleasant
trip to Minneapolis and st. Paul late
yesterday. Mr.. Elliott said that Eastern
Minnesota seemed TO have less wheat sown
than reports would indicate. There were
some good fields, but many were thin and
weedy. Oats, which had crowded out
wheat to a great extent, appeared to promise
a good yield.

BAY CITY. Mich, July 14.-To-day the
strikers banked the fires in the salt blocks
of Pitt 81 Cranage, Miller q Lewis, and
McGraws'. all of which had started up. At
noon Gov. Alger, with some members of
his staff, reached here and met with
the mill men and citizens to
discnss the situation and to
inform himself as to necessities in the case.
A crowd of strikers called for the governor,
who spoke to them, telling them they had a
right to protection and they must respect
this right in others. They have a right to
stop work, but no right to interfere with
others who desired to labor.
Judge Marston was called on
for speech and was given a
careful hearing until he showed them that
any attempt to close the mills by force
would be an infractiOn of the law and
should be sounished, whereupOn they left
him unceremoniously. The mill owners
met and passed resolutions calling on the
governor for help, desiring to have the
lfH&fia to aid the sheriff. They claim
to be ready to settle any grievance that may
exist, but believed that the highest possible
wages were being paid. The strikers held
a meeting in Madison park tonight.
Gov. Alger has ordered the militia
from Alpena, FlmJ anu IorU huron
to report for duty here, and four
companies from Detroit to East Saginaw.
Local organizations have also been called
on. The situation looks serious, but the
advent of the militia will probably overawe
violence. The crisis has come and the peO-
pie are determined to preserve the law at
all hazards ProclamationS were is
sued tonight by the mayor and
sheriff, prohibiting all persons
not interfering or preventing any persons
from pursuing his lawful occupation or dis
turbing the peace of the city by parading
the streets or congregating elsewhere. 1t
states that shops, mills or other manufac-
turing establishments will be protected if
they desire to resume business.

mate of ESQ, ZOO in the admiralty

longed properly to the military estimates,
