THE CROPS.
Summing up of the Rural New York.
er's $500 Special Reports.

New YORK, July 6.-From careful anal
ysis of over $500 special crop reports from its
subscribers, practical farmers in every State
and territory in the Union, the Rural New
Yorker concludes that the winter wheat crop
will aggregate 210000,000 bushels, and the
spring wheat crop 155,0O0,O0O bushels, max
ing an aggregate crop of 1863, 100000 bushels,
falling off of 147,ooO,(0oo bushels from last
ever harvested Rye and barley will be fair
crops. The corn area is larger than ever be-
fore, and the outlook is good for an average
yield per acre. There will be an average
in the acreage of tobacco. The cotton pros Groee
poets are highly promising, despite the inju-
ry from insects in Texas and other places
There will be a fair crop of apples for an off
year; many trees are dying in the West
and there is but a poor outlook for pears
though there will be fair crops in New Jer-
sey, Delaware and Maryland.

START OF THE "Bic FOUR"
One Hundred and Ten Bicyclists
Leave Buffalo.

BUFFALO, July Ga long line of bicy-
clers started up Main street to Genessee
street, on the west sidewalk, this morning
about 10 O'Clock. They all wore straw hats
with the crown erect in high peak, from
the point of which floated ribbons of pur-
pie. Tin horns and flags and other decora-
tions abounded. 1t was the "big four" tour
50 called, from the four cities, New York,
Chicago, Boston and Buffalo, under whose
auspices the trip is given. The start was
made with great flourish of trumpets and
every one seemed happy. There we're just
10 of the travellers.
The bicycle tourists have arranged for
road race when they strike the Canada
shore. The stretch OF road between Coburg
and the Thousand Islands is 100 miles long,
and is the finest straightaway country run to
be had. The association will give fine gold
medal to the winner. The contestants are
limited to twelve as follows: George Weber,

THE INDlANs.
A Renegade Sioux Predicts a Cen
eral War.

LEAvENwoRTH, KS, July GA brief in
terview has been obtained with Roman Nose
a Renegade Sioux, who has cast his lot with
the Cheyennes, and has apparently devoted
all his energies to make trouble. He possess
es considerable following among the Che
yennes, and has led several raids on the cat
tie of companies which have leased the graz
ing land from the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes
His complaints are chiefly against the cattle
companies, which, he asserts, have fenced in
much Of the best hunting ground and forced
the Indians to tramp over sterile plains in
search of game. He claims that the pay
ments made by the cattle companies to the
Cheyennes and Arrapahoes are not fairly di-
vided, and the cattle turned over to the 1ndi-
ans and branded to denote their ownership
are ''gobbled'' by bigger chiefs to the exclu-
sion of the lesser ones. He believes that be-
fore long there will be general Indian war
and that the Indians might as well die fight
ing as to be driven about and harassed and
begin with the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes,
and then the IComanches, Kiowas and other
tribes will join them and fight even to exter-
mination.'

A gentleman who has Just arrived from North

FIRE RECORD.
Ten Tobacco Warehouses Burned at
5toughton, Wisconsin,.
Loss About 81 200, ,ooo---5oo Men
Out of Work.

MADISON, Wis, July 5.-One of the most
disastrous fires that ever occurred in this
section of the State took place at Stoughton
yesterday; burning ten out of thirteen large
tobacco warehouses; the ST. Paul depot and
about twenty freight cars loaded with wheat
and merchandise; causing a loss estimated
all the way from $500;000 to 81 100000 The
fire originated in an old hay press now used
as box factory. The tobacco warehouses
were all owned by New York and Philadel-
phia tobacco houses. Oppenheimer & Co.,
Rosenwald & Co., Cohn Il Co., and John
Mark of Chicago, being among the losers.
The fire probably caused the heaviest de-
structi0n of tobacco that has ever occurred
in the United States at one time from that
cause. 1t Is estimated thatsfully one-third
of the entire Wisconsin tobacco crop of last
year was consumed. There were about 5000
cases stored in the warehouses ready for
shipment These eases were worth about
$50 apiece, thus making the loss on tobacco
about $450,000 The warehouses were worth
about $500 each, making an additional loss
of $4,000. The depot was a large frame
structure, which had been recently repaired,
so that 1t was almost entirely new. A large
amount of freight stored In tile depot was
saved. The freight cars which were burned
were standing on side track, and in the eX-
citement of the fire it was impossible to re-
move them to a safe location Nothing can
be learned of the origin Of the fire. The
general opinion, however, is that it was
started by some Fourth of July patriot who
was careless in the use of fireworks. This
makes the second disastrous confagration
which has visited Stoughton within year
or two past. The loss from Yesterdays fire
is partially covered by insurance. The indi-
vidual losses fall mostly on eastern buyers,
though some OF the Stoughton buyers lost
it. The disaster will throw about 500 people
out of emDlOVment.
