beneath in the clouds OF sulphurous
smoke and suEscsting gas. Now and

THE CROP OUTLOOK,
Too Much Rain in Some Localities
and Not Enough in Others

The latest Government crop report says
The weather in the grain regions of the
Northwest has been generally favorable to
growing crops, and conditions have improved
in the Upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys
and in Michigan, although heavy local rains
in Missouri reported to have injured
wheat and delayed harvesting
An excess of rain Is reported from Arkan-
sas, louisiana and Mississippi, which has
been unfavorable TO the cotton crops In
the west portion OF the cotton region less rain
and clear weather would doubtless benefit
the growing crops, while in the east portion
OF the cotton region, including Ala bama and
North and South Carolina, the weather has
been favorable for all crops
in Ohio, Indiana and Connecticut more
rain Is needed, while generally throughout
the Middle Atlantic and New England states
the weather OF the past week has improved
the crop conditions.
Harvesting Is in progress in Tennessee and
Kentucky, where the weather conditions have
been favorable for wheat and corn, but I'M
favorable for grass.

despatch from ST. Paul de Loando, Afri-
"a, says: Several deserters from Stanley's
expedition of relief to Emin Pacha, have
reached Camp Yambunga. They state that
after traversing the Upper Aruwhimi Stan
ley struck into rough mountainous coun-
try covered with dense forests. The natives.
who were excite1 by reports spread by the
Arabs, disputed the passage of the expedition,
and there was continuous fighting. Stanley
was severely wounded by an arrow. He was
compe led several times to construct camps in
order to repel attacks, and was obliged TO use
the reserve provisions that were intended for
Emin Pacha The SOudanese attached to
the force had ali died or disappeared The
1eserters estimate that the caravan had lost
one-third of its men, and they say that many
Of those remaining were i'll, including the
Europeans.
Stanley was encamped nursing his wound
when the deSerters left. He was surrounded
by hostiIes and was unable to send news to
Emin or directly to Yambunga. Major
BarttelOt had returned to Yambunga, where
he was awaiting the men that Mr.. Ward was
collecting to form a powerful expedition to
go to the relief of Stanley"

A Few Cars Are Run on tho Chicago West
Side Road.
CHICAGO Oct. 1l.-Shortly before four
o'clock two cars, the first sent out during
the day in the West Division, left the
Western avenue barns. About 1875 police
men were on duty, and succeeded in keep
ing the crowd, which numbered about five
thousand persons. far enough from the
track to prevent interference. The cars
came out at rapid pace, and, with patrol
wagons filled with policemen in front of
and behind them, made the trip down town
in safety. At one point stone was
thrown. which bounded over the cars and
struck woman in the crowd, knocking
her down. At Ann street the brakes on
the first car broke, and the driver ran it
into wagon in front. The men in the
wagon were thrown out and considerably
hurt. At Market street, on the return
trip, another stone was thrown, and the
man who threw it was arrested. At Hal
stead street there was a great mob, which
flung opprobrious epithets at the new men,
and one member of it made dash for one
of the cars and began to pound the driver.
There was a lively and wicked-looking
scene for time, but the police managed
to keep the crowd in check. The drivers
assailant was arrested and the cars pro-
ceeded.
