Big Wheat Yield.

MINNEAPoLIs, Aug. 9.-''The wheat
crop in Minnesota and Dakota will reach
SIS, 600, 900 bushels, and | think will 90
80, 000, 000' was announced by the editor
of the Market Record this morning. 1T
will be the best crop harvested in six
years" said Manager Robbins of the
Northwestern Elevator company. There
is confidence on every hand and these are
the statements of grain men everywhere.
Two weeks ago a few made predictions
of so, 900, 600 bushels and a majority said
the claim was too high. Now an increase
of 900 bushels above hat figure is
not regarded as unreasonable. Samples
of wheat shown by various ELEVATOR lines
from houses widely apart, show almost
uniform excellence. 1t is expected that
with no storms the crop In Minnesota will
be harvested IN ten days and in Dakota
in fifteen.
WASHINGTON. Aug. Consul Gem
eral Goldschmidt, of Vienna, sends a
summary of the crop estimate of Austria
Hungary. 1t says the estimates are for
three-iOurths of a crop of wheat or an ag-
gregate of 100000, 900 to $50, 0OO, 600
bushels with a home consumption of 1861
600. 900 which will leave little or nonc for
export in spite of the fact that there are
I25. 600, 900 bushels of old wheat IN the
elevators: as to the other grains, the pros

Hungarian Rioters.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 9.-Private dispatches
from the Connellsville coke regions re.
port a gang of 400 drunken Hungarian
coke workers on a raid. They do not
seem to understand the strike is settled in
their favor aud this morning started out
to close up the works in operation. They
have driven the workers away at two
places and are still ON the war path.
The hungarian rioters proceeded to
Bessemer and on the way met John NJ.
Doglon who was ri ling in a buggy. The
iniurated mob overturned his buggy and
beat and cut him 50 badly that his life is
despared OF.
At Bessemer after beating two men
they made IA descent upon a store and at.
ter breaking the windows and doors in
they carried off all the bread and Cologne
they could find on the premises. Secre.
tary Watchorn addressed them and fin,
ally succeeded in telling them the strike
was over and in their favor. The Huns
then retired to their homes.

New York, Aug. "a cable special
from London says: I'm addition to the
memorial to the government in behalf OF
Mrs. Maybrick. signed by most of the
barristers and solicitors on the Liverpool
circuit and a petition circulated among
the merchants and brokers', parliament
itself has taken up the cause of the con-
demned A number of members
OF the house OF commons nave decided to
make a combined appeal to the home Of
flee for a reprieve. The action is based
not only on the confusion of the medical
testimony taken, but also on the peculiar
behavior of the Judge which has excited a
ferment of indignation throughout the
country.
The foreman OF the Jury has been in
terviewed and he showed himself by his
answers and comments on the case, to be
possessed of only a confused notion of the
evidence which had been presented in the
court. He admitted he would not be
sorry If a reprieve we're granted, notwith-
standing his voice in favor of a verdict of
murder. The general impression left by
the interview is that the Jurors allowed
themselves to be swayed and biased by the
onesided summing OF the Judge and gave
a hasty verdict without giving the case
and evidence any personal consideration.
Regarding the chances of interference
with the sentence on the part of the home
secretary, Mr.. Macklin said:
They have a curious Law in England
providing that where an adverse decision
is rendered in any but murder cases an
appeal can be. taken to a higher court and
from hat to the house of lords, but when
the case is murder, the decision rendered
by the Jury is final and cases where the
judges sentence has been overruled by
the home secretary are very rare indeed.
