inability to be present, and read paper
prepared by the Cardinal upon this ques-

when children were attending school.

AL LOOK TO AMERIcA:

England, Franco and Italy Must Depeno
ON This Country for Their Bread-Iie-
cent Reports from Bombay show That
the wheat Crop in India Is Almost .
Failure.
LONDON, July 1Z-Monday's weekly re-
port from Bombay by cable settles the fact
that the Indian wheat crop will be no factor
ut all in the question Of the worlds food
supply this year. And there Is a sudden and
anxious effort now being made to get at
the facts upon which to base an estimate OF
what the worlds crop will really be like.
number OF the best informed English
specialists have been seen and they believe
that the situation, n few months hence, will
be fully as bad as 1t was last year. One or
two say thoy expect 1t to be worse. VI
course the state Of European crops is still
susceptible to certain fluctuations. and
can not be accurately mapped out until the
annual seed fair at Vienna, which, owing to
the general anxiety this year, has been ad-
yanced TO August "a But while climatic
contingencies may iniure good crops, they
will be able to do little to improve these al
ready doomed and the condition in 0c-
tober Is more likely TO be worse than bet
ter.
The demand for wheat in the big pur-
chasing countries Of Europe bids fair to
be- smaller than usual England ard Franco
promise harvcsts considerably better than
last year As the fields and stocks now
stand the yield of these two countries is
expected to be 4O,OOO,0O0 bush Is in ex-
cess OF that of last year. Spain will also be
above the average and Italy only trifie
under. Germany, east of the tenth paral-
lei, Is almost as good-perhaps the present
weather will make her quite as good-as
last year But there the favorable picture
abruptly stops.
Two great exporting countries, Russia
and Austro-Hungary. will this year ind it
difficult TO feed themselves. Russia, which
had big harycsts the last two years, and
".orcedn the market to get rid Of all its
grain in order to float loans the last OF
which was concluded the other day, now
confronts rather serious situation Her
big granaries, lilie those of Odessa, have
never before been so empty Of wheat. and
the present crop in many large districts is
complete failure.
The long drouth and then the cyclonic
storms which destroyed the wheat and oat
prospect in Russia have done the same for
wheat, rye and barley in Austro-Hungary,
K)umania and Eastern Germany. In short,
though crops west of the tenth parallel are
quite definitely better than in lSSS, this is
more than balanced by the failure in the
far more important grain fields east OF that
line
England, France and Italy must always
buy so much grain that the question exact

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 1e.-Joha
Jones and a neighbor living south of
the city were going home last night,
when they got into discussion regard
ing the Sullivan-Kilrain fight. As they
passed the house of Mrs. Ross her dog
ran out to the fence, and Jones declared
that he could knock the dog out in one
round. Before his friend could interfere
he entered the yard and attacked the vi
cious bull dog with his fists. The brute
accepted the challenge, and fierce
fight ensued, in which Jones was terri
bly, bitten about the neck and head.
One eye was torn out and one ear bit
off, and he would have been torn to
pieces had not Mrs. Ross come to his
rescue. Jones was perfectly sober.
