HEIR TO FIFTEEN MILLIONS.
A Day Laborer In st. Paul, MIMI, Sud-
denly Raised to Affiuence.

A st. Paul special to the New York World
says that Charles L. watrous, q young man
who has resided in st. Paul for the past six
months, during which time he has been
employed as a common laborer has sud-
denly changed his mind as to the necessity
for working. By the death of his father in
Australia he inherits property estimated TO be
worth fs,0OO,000 sterling, and departed last
night over the Northern Pacific for the anti
podes to claim his vast estate. Watrous was in
financial straits until today, when glancing over
the published list of unclaimed letters, he saw
his name. The epistle, when secured, proved
to be an announcement of the death of his
father. j. b. Watrous, known the world over as
the Australian bonanza king, at Sidney
N.S.W. Young Watrous became estranged
from his family seven years ago through an
unfortunate haison with ballet girl known as
Hobart Town Polly. Watrous married her in
Melbourne and the couple came to San Fran
cisco, where Mrs. Watrous died while filling an
engagement at the Bella Union theater
Watrous has been doing odd jobs all over the
country, now hotel clerk and again tramp,
looking for work. During his residence in
America he has carefully refrained from allow
ing suspicion of his poverty to reach his pa
rents, and has not. until receiving the draft ac-
companying the announcement of his fathers
death. received one cent from the store Of Aus
tralian millions. The estate consists Of con-
trolling interest in the Golden Fleece and
hentish claims, the famous Bendigo mine and
large blocks of business property in Melbourne,
Sydney and Auckland, New Zealand. The
widow OF the bonanza king resides at Sandhurst,
in the White Hills of Australia, and the prodi-
gal son expects to reach home and enter upon
his inheritance within the next six weeks

Gus Mortified His Wife.

rom the Detroit 1r1Oune
A young married man who is a familiar figure
about the city haH went up to the Canadian
club house recently for few days fishing
The second day after his arrival his wife con-
eluded that she would go up in the steam boat
and join him, and accordingly notified him of
her intention. As the steam boat on which she
took passage approached, the lady, accom-
panied by a number OF intimate friends,
eagerly scanned the shore for a glimpse of his
huge hat. Imagine her feelings when she saw
"Gus" seated on log beside distinguishing
female. With one arm placed lovingly around
her waist Gus seemed to be utterly oblivious

walked toward the boat landing in the most
nonchalant manner imaginable. '1She" was a

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-A number of repre-

socialistic labor party are in conference
today mapping out plans for the ma
tional convention which opens tomor-
row. Among them are Serguis y.
Schevitch, of New York: S. Werner. of
Philadelphia; Phillip Rappafort, of In
dianapolis; Franz Schubert and Johanna
Greie, of Now York. These represent
tho element of the party that was
thrown ont of the national convention
held in this city last week, on the ground
that the New York followers of Schevitch
had sold out to the republicans in the last
presidential campaign. There are sev-
cnty-tive sections of the socialistic party
in the United States. Eleven of these
are controlled by the radicals and the
remaining sixty-four voted unanimously
that the charges in question had been
proven. The upshot will he the forma
tion of an opposition party at tomor-
rows convention and in principles ant
composition it will approach very closely

DETROIT, Oct 11.-Althcngh General
Alger is not disposed to notice the mat
ter, an indignant denial is given by his
friends to the charge that he is using
his new position as commander-in-chief
of the G.. A. II. to further his interests as
possible candidate for the presidency
at the expiration of the term of Presi-
dent Harrison. A New York evening
republican paper few days ago specific
ally charged that his appointment of
Major George III. Hopkins, of this
city, chairman of the republican
state committee, to the position of
Acknowledgement upon his staff, was in
fuenced by political considerations.
This is emphatically denied by those
supposed to be in a position to know,
and who claim that the qualifications OF
the appointee for the position were the
solo guiding objects. They challenge
the closest scrutiny of General Algers
official acts since his election, and con
tend that the full list of appointments
will refute the idea that he has any idea
of mixing politics and comradeship.

DAKOTA'S CROPS
The Crop Situation Better Than
Expected in the Da-
kotas.
The Average Yield Is Less Than
for 1888, but Is a Credit
able One.
The Last Crop Report to BE Issued
by the Commissioner of
Immigration Of the
Territory.
Crops in Dakota.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Oct. 11.-F. II.
Hagerty, commissioner of immigration
for Dakota, has made the following
showing of the crop yield for the year
1880:
If the superiority OF Dakota as an ag-
ricultural region needed further demon
stration, it is to be found in the results
of this years crops.
Reports were sent broadcast over the
country that tho crops in Dakota were
an almost total failure. Indeed, within
the territory the gravest apprehensions
were entertained, for never was tile pro-
ducing capacity of region more
severely tried by adverse circumstances.
There was an unususl lack of rainfall
and in some regions the grain was beset
while yet in the milk by hot winds; yet
out of what seemed disaster, out of
what veritably might have proved ashes,
Dakota again rises, Phoenix like, and
surprises the world with a succession of
splendid crop totals. Again the empire
territory distances every state and ter
ritory in the production of wheat and
rolls up the grand total of 4i.00o,o ,o92
bushels, a total based upon a careful
estimate, and best of all, nearly every
bushel of this great amount is of the
very highest grade, largely of the No.
hard variety-richer in The albuminoids
than the wheat of any region in the
world.
AS will be seen from the accompany
ing tables the total acreage of wheat in
Dakota for 1889 was 4,6G9,7l1 acres, the
yield as above stated was 44,0oo,o9a
bushels; the total acreage of oats was
/, ,l22a ,4o2, and the yield 81, ,369,70s bush
els; tho total acreage of corn s14,677,

total acreage of barley 255,969, and the
I yield 4, 4,455,7TT bushels; the total acreage
of rye 10, 754, and the yield 3o1. 107 bush

There was a scene at the Brevoor
house in New York the other night
which ought to be immortalized in opera
bouffe. Two immense suites of China
men. clad in brilliant robes, appeared
simultaneously in the hotel demanding
apartments. One was the outgoing dip
lomat, with secretaries and servants;
the other the incoming one with ditto
ditto. There was not room for all, and
the whole hotel management became ex-
cited and confused. Servants were sent
to parlors with bed and bath rooms at
tached, and masters were relegated to
attics. The chattering, the protcsta-
ton, and the running UP and down
stairs were amusing in tho extreme.
Finally matters were adjusted, but not
until after the diplomatic dignity of the
Orient had sustained several severe
shocks

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE car arrived
here this morning. Shortly before the
arrival of the cars train the emperor
with Prince Bismarck, Count Herbert
Bismarck and many generals OF the Ger
man army and several German princes
and a large number OF government Of
ticials reached the station and awaited
the coming of the imperial visitor. The
ear, p'.aring the uniform of the Alex
andra Regiment of the German Imperial
guards advanced to meet the emperor.
AS the latter came toward him the two
emperors aifectionately embraced one
another, and the czar shook hands with
Prince Bismarck.
After a brief conversation the czar
and his attendants entered the state car
riages, the guard of honor detiled and
assumed it's place in the procession and
the imperial party were driven
at a fast trot to the Russian
embassy. Great precautions were taken
against the approach OF the populacc tc
the imperial carriage, and were as per
feet in effect as they were formidable ir
appearance. The route from the rail
way station to the Russian embassy was
lined with troops, and the cheering OF
the part of the populace was very feeble
and the enthusiasm of the people was
far from being demonstrative.

NORTHWESTERN Beckecpers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-The first conven-
ton held in five years of the North
western BeelSeepers' society opened here
yesterday. DR.. c. G. Miller, of Marengo,
is president. About eighty members
were present, representing the produc-
tion of 100000 pounds of honey an
nually. Treasurer Newman, of Chicago,
delivered the address of welcome. The
honey season in the northwestern states
is reported successful as to the yield,
but in the west and south it was com
parative failure. The convention dis
cussed the pollen theory of bee cholera
and other subjects of interest. Today
officers will be elected for the ensuing
