accept the proposal for an increase in
wages to begin in November They unani-

The directors of the dock companies reso-
lutely adhere to the terms recently agreed
to by them, by which the wages of the
men are TO be advanced January |. Burns
at tOnight's conference with Cardinal
Manning affirmed that the temper of the
strikers was sricll that it would be futile to
urge the November compromise. The

FROSTS CAN'T INJURE 1T.
The Corn Crop too Far Advanced to he In,
iured hN the Gold Weather.

CmcAGo, Sept. 1.-THE editor Of the
Farmers Review heing interviewed this
evening us to what damage to the corn
crop would probably follow the frost at
this date, one having been predicted by
the signal service, gave it as his opinion
that as a general thing the crop is out of
the way of frost The frost would un-
doubtedy seriously injure late planted
corn ON low lying lands where
super abundance of moisture
tends to make corn rank and green. In
Northern Wisconsin, where drouth has
prevailed corn is already dry and passed
injury. In the dairying districts of the
state it is probable that good deal of
damage will be done Ia Illinois
and Indiana the corn is
considered practically out cf danger
except along the rivers on what are known
as bottom lands In northwestern Ken
lucky and northern Missouri the frost will
probably not do any damage The toma O
crop will. however, in many localities be
severely damaged should frost of any Sc
verify come at this time.
