MADRID, Nov. 10.-In anticipation Of the
arrival Of Senor Canovas del Castillo from
Seville, strong force Of police and military
we're posted this morning along the streets
through which the Conservative leader was
expected to pass on his way from the rail-
way station to his residence. Thousands OF
Republicans collected at the station at an
early hour and the arrival Of Senior Canovas
was the signal for hostile outburst mob
surrounded and followed his carriage, hoot-

the carriage were smashed by aylng missiles
and Sonora Canovas, who accompanied her
husband, was struck by stone, but was not
seriously injured When the carriage reached

brother-in-law. The crowd continued the
demonstration In front Of the Conservative

again became violent and every window In
the place was smashed. Throughout the
disturbance there was no collision between
the people and the police, nor was there any
lighting. The agitation abated at midday,
but there was renewal Of the demonstra-
ton at four o'clock this afternoon and the
Conservative Club was obliged to close its
doors. The Republican j)urnal, the Pals,

Republican Congressional Campaign Com
mittee today. Taking up table print in a
NewYork Republican paper he said: 81 am
going to give the Democrats all that they
claim within reason, where the actual returns
have not removed all doubt" From this
table he reduced the Republican claims for
Congressman by one each in Florida, Ken
lucky, Maryland, North Carolina and West
Virginia. In that shape he declared that he
allowed all Democratic claims in doubtful
cases, and the result was Republican ma
majority of 10. He could not see how il
could possibly be reduced below that figure,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Returns of the
yield of corn made to the Department of
Agriculture indicate that the yield per acre
is quite as large as that of 1885 and larger
than any other crop since that of 1880. The
aggregate, grown on larger area, will ex-
ceed that of any previous American product,
being very close to 1000, ,OOO, 900 bushels, or
about 81 bushels per capita. After three years
of low yields OF potatoes have given an aver
age of about so bushels per acre, or nearly
the rate of yield of 1879. The total estimated
product Is about 6l,000000 more than the
estimated product of 1887. They average
yield of buckwheat is approximately II
bushels per acre and the crop is nearly H.
100000 bushels Hay is slightly above the
average crop in yield or 1.22 tons per acre.

WHEELING. W. Va, Nov. 1.-THE figures
of the two committees are getting very close
together in this State. The chairman of the
Democratic committee comedies less than 200
Democratic majority on Fleming, the DEM
ocratic candidate for governor, and thinks
Hubbard, the Republican candidate for at
torney general, may be elected. The Repub-
lican committee claims from 300 to 500 major
ity on governor, and thinks the presidential
ticket has also pulled through. There are
still twelve counties either imperfectly or
not at all heard from, and upon these and
possible corrections in the others depends
the result. The chances seems to be with
the Republicans, especially for governor.
The Democratic committee have reduced
their estimate of 561 this morning to less
than 200 this evening. Two Republicans
certainly have been elected in the first and
