The Missing Steamer.

New NoRK Oct. 9.-The steamer An

A SHORT TOBACCO CRop.-The Balii
more Journal of Commerce publishes special
reports from the tobacco. growing sections
Of Maryland, Virginia and North Caroline
ns to the injury to the crop by the frost aud
the probable yield IS compared with last
year. The acreage planted in tobacco this
year Is reported AS much less than in 1855,
and owing to unfavorable weather not much
over two thirds of a crop had been expected
prior to the frost. While considerable
part of the crop has already been gathered,
the frost very seriously damaged what was
still in the fields, running a large percentage
OF it, and thus still further reducing the
yield. In some few instances the crop ia
stated to lie as large rs last year and the
quality as good, but nearly all the reports
claim that the yield will be much reduced,
the estimates running from one third to
two-thirds of o crop, and with the quality,
especially in parts Of North Carolina and
Virginia, very poor. In the great Durham
district the yield is estimated at not over
forty per cent. of an average ana q very in
ferior grade.

SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER ..

A LARGE number Of hands in manu-.
featuring town in Pennsylvania have been
deprived of employment because few men
struck for higher wages and for the discharge
Of some non.uuion men. Now to strike for
higher wages was all right, provided the
strikers had previously secured employ
ment some where elsa in case of failure;
otherwise it was extremely foolish, espe-
cially at the commencement of long win.
ter. But it was all wrong to strike because
some non-union men were emploved; for
under the Constitution and laws of the
country The non.uu!on man has as much
right to work for his living and to earn his
bread by the sweat of his face as the mouth.
lest union man in all the land, and an en-
p:oyer who would dep rive non union man
Of the means of providing for himself and
his family at the demand of some union
IUen deserves 10 suffer from perpetual strikes

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Winter Wheat Harvest Almost Completed
Drought in Kansas and Indian Territory.

CHICAGO, July 18.-The following crop report
will appear in this weeks issue of the Farmers
Review:
''While local rains have been experienced in
many localities in the West and Northwest in
some cases accompanied by destructive hail and
wind, there have been general rains covering
large areas and bringing the drought to end.
The winter wheaI has been harvested in all but
some extreme northern portions of the wheat
belt. Its condition has kept we'll up to the
promise it made in early season. Oats and bar
ley are both below the average on account of
the drought Pastures are getting very short,
and potatoes and other crops need rain very
badly. Corn is generally In fine condition,
clean and we'll advanced, but it needs rap and
is reported as already suffering in some locali-
ties. The spring wheat continues to run down
in condition. 1t is now too far advanced to be
much benefited by rains. To the injury from
drought there is added that from chinch-h bugs,
and in some localities rust. Harvest alone will
show its real condition. but it does not now prom
ise to syceed 90 Sper cent of anaayefage crop
throughout the Northwest"
ST. LOUIS, July Is Dispatches from the In
dian Territory say: The drought still contin-
ues over nearly the whole Of the Territory The
range is rapidly being ruined, and prairie fires
are already burning in every direction Murrain
has broken out among the CATTLE in several To-
callties. and many are dying. Unless we have
rain soon a regular epidemic among the stock is
feared
A dispatch from Topeka says the present
drought in Kansas is the severest the State has
known since 1873. Unless rain falls during the
coming week the corn prospect will be ruined.
The corn is just beginning to tassel, and is in
condition where rain is most needed. The last
general rain in the latter part of June; since
then the weather has been intensely hot There
have been local showers, but not enough to be
of any service. The oats and wheat harvests
have exceeded the estimates of the State Board
of Agriculture, but from the present outlook the
corn crop will be greatly reduced
