AN ENORMOUS DAT CROP.
The Yield in the United States Will Be
r63 600 600 Rushe1s

The following appears In the last issue
of the Chicago Farmers Review: Ac-
cording to the statistics furnished by
our crop correspondents, the oat crop
of the present season will be the larg-
est ever harvested in the United States;
but the yield will not be as heavy as was
ut first anticipated, owing to the ex ces-
sively wet weather and frequent Wind
storms that have lodged and rusteu the
straw in many fields. A larger acreage
was sown to oats in Illinois than
in any other state, and Its
crop will therefore be larg-
er than that Of any other
state. Considering the average yield
per acre and the condition at harvest
ing time, Iowa and Wisconsin take the
lead. Indiana will do almost as well.
The crop will be heavy one all over
the country, save in Dakota. where, as
mas been previously reported, oats are
almost total failure owing to drouth.
From the summary of the reports it is
shown that the yield in Illinois, Indi-
ana, Ohio, Missouri, Kentucky, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska. Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Dakota will be &c.
672, 532 bushels. Assuming that the
yield in other states will be equal to
that of last year, or 156, 487 900 bushels.
the total oat crop of the United States
will be about 1853, 100, 432 bushels, or a
gain of 81 ,425 900 bushels over the oat
crop of 1888.

SAN Francisco, Cal. July 3O.-The
steamer Dora arrived from Behring Sea
last night and brings the irst detailed
news OF thu capture of the British
sealey, Black Diamond, by the United
States revenue cutter Richard Rush.
On July IL the Rush over
took the Black Diamond and
ordered her to heave TO. The captain
of the Black Diamond refused to do
this. Thereupon the commander OF
the Rush ordered lowering of ports
and running out OF guns which caused
the schooner to heave to.
Capt. Shepard and Lieutenant Tuttle
boarded the English craft and asked Tor
her papers. The officers OF the Black
Diamond offered no armed resistance,
but refused to deliver the ships papers.
Capt. Shepard at once broke open the
cabin and forced the hingesof the strong
box and the captains chest, thereby
securing the papers. A search Of the
vessel disclosed l03 seal skins, which
had been taken in Behriny Sea.
Capt. Shepard placed non-commls-
stoned officer from the Rush in charge
of the Black Diamond and ordered the
vessel to be taken to Sitka to await fur
Their instructions. The captain of the
Black Diamond made the statement
that when in Victoria he had been or
dered to pay no attention in case he was
overtaken by the Rush and requested to
heave to. He said he would not have
surrendered if the Rush had had an in
ferior force to that of his own.

was also boarded by Capt. Shepard, but
no arrest was made, the skins on
board the vessel having been captured
in the Pacific and not in Behring Sea.
A passenger who arrived here last
night on the steamer Dora said: con
our way down from st. Pauls Island we
saw six sealers and the Rush was closely
in pursuit of them. We lett St. PauPs
Island on july IA and on the following
day saw the Rush in pursuit OF her prey.
Undoubtedly by this time the Rush has
made additional captures.
MONTREAL, Que, July 30.-The seiz-
ure of the schooner Black Diamond
i'm Behring Sea caused SEN
sation here. This outrage. as
it is called, coming when assur-
ances are made of the friendly citations
between England and America raises
excitement to high pitch, and govern
ment supporters demand an immediate
call on the United States to release the
schooner and for full indemnity.
A leading member Of Parliament said
last evening: "The end has been
reached. Canada can no longer submit
to insult and seizures of her vessels on
the high seas. We must show our hand.
and we have sufficient force in the
Northern Pacific waters to enforce any

LORD CHURCHILL'S ADVICE.
A Loan of $500, 600, 900 to Enable Iris
Tenants TO Buy lheir Holdings.

a Loan OF $500, 600, 600 to- Enable Irish
Tenants to Buy aheir Holdings.
At Birmingham, on the 30th, Lord
Randolph Churchill, in a speech said
that the Conservative party in Birming-
ham ought to receive larger recogni-
ton than the dissidents appeared will
ing to accord. The elections ought not
to proceed on the principle of men be-
fore measures. The Conservatives had
right to ask the dissidents to define
declsively the platform on which the
latter appealed to the electors.
Otherwise the dissidents could
not expect the Conservatives to vote
for policies which, apart from Unionism,
the conservative party would strongly
and even desperately oppose. If the
Conservatives chose to exert them
selves they would carry more than half
the seats in Birmingham. Referring to
the many remedies proposed for the
prevailing discomfort in Ireland, Lord
Randolph recommended as a final solu-
ton of the question an imperial loan of
not less than Gl0U,IO0,OOO to enable
tenants to buy their holdings, the local
bodies controlling the rate of collected
revenues to become security Tor the
payment of the loan. He pointed out
that this scheme made it necessary that
Ireland remain under the imperial
parliament.

Neither Written Nor Printed.

The curiosity of the book world, q
volume in France owned by the family

by the Bookworm:
1t is entitled "The Passion of
Christ" and is neither written nor
printed. Every letter of the text is cut
out of leaf, and being interleaved with
blue paper, is as easily read as the best
print.
The labor and patience bestowed
upon it's composition must have been
excessive, especially when the precision
and minuteness of the letters are con-
sidered.
The general execution in every re-
spect is indeed admirable, and the
vellum is of the most delicate and costly
kind. Rudolph II. of Germany offered
for it II 600 ducats, which was probably
equal to 100000 at this day.
