AN ENGLISH CRONIN.
The Extraordinary Disappearance OF n
WeIi-known Unionist Clergyman.

Weii-known tnionist Clergyman.
Edinburgh Scotsman
No further light has yet been thrown
upon the mysterious disappearance of the
Rev. A. +. Barfield, Congregational MN.
lister, Of Walsail, who had shown great nc-
tivity in the Unionist cause. About eight
weeks ago Mr.. Barfeld went to London for
the purpose of delivering political lectures
in and about the city. For a month or
i've weeks he continued in the me;rono,;s
and il is said that during th,,
time he received an invitation 20
visit Ireland. 1t is not posi,;vel,,
known whether he started to fulfil this or,
gagement. but it is almost certain tba, he
did. Nothing, however, has been heard az
him for the past three weeks. and II il
stated that the leaders of the Tnio,;s,
movement know nothing of the invitation 10
visit Ireland. Under these circum stances
il is very widely believed that the invi,.-
ton he received was not genuine Som.
time ago Mr.. Bariield was the rec;n;er, 90
threats of assassination, alleged To have
been sent by. invincibles As recentlv 90
the Fourth of July he received the follow
ing letter, apparently written in a feminins
hand.
Rev. Sir: Though personally unkuox,

Failure OF Crops Causes Extreme Suffer-
inG-Measures Of Relief.

ST. PAUL. Oct 2l.--The relief committee
appointed by the Chamber of Commerce
presented today its report of destitnies in
the Dakotas. 1t shows a serious state of
affairs in several counties, caused by
the failure of crops incident to drouth and
frosts. An organized relief movement, to get
TO work at once, is recommended to get
clothes, supplies and provisions to the peo-
pie who are in want before the extreme
cold weather sets in. Delays will result in
great suffering. Subscriptions have been
opened by the city councils and commercial
bodies of ST. Paul and Minneapolis.

IDAHo's CLAIMS TO STATEHOOD
Governor Sehoup Files His Annual Re-
port In Wsshington.


port in Washington.
WAsHIsGroS, Oct 2l.-George L. Schoup,
governor Of Idaho. in his annual report,
gives the important provisions OF the con-
stitution which will be submitted TO the
people for their adoption at an election to
be held November 5. Idaho, he states.
claims all the essential qualifications neces-
sarv To assume the dignity and responsible
ity OF statehood-stesdy growth in popula-
ton and taxable property, and a large in
crease in the yield OF valuable metals
nearly doubling that of last year. All
these show, the governor thinks, that Idaho
is in the iihe of progress.
The report states that there are over
2500 people in Idaho who are adherents of
the Mormon faith. The population OF the
territory is 1i3,777. Poivgamy. however.
is not at the present time openly practiced
in the territory, but the governor adds OF
fact thati is practiced secretly to limited
extent, there seems no doubt. as indict-
ments are found in nearly every term OF
court held, and = number of convictions
have been secured. He states that he has
reason TO believe a division of sentiment Is
springing up in the church on the subject
of the practice of polygamy. Under the
constitution polygamy viii be prohibited.
and the insertion of this provision may be
regarded, the report states, as an express
sion of the voice Of the people of the terri
tory on this subject. The allotment of
land to Indians under the severalty act is
progressing satisfactorily. and with little
opposition on the part of the Indians.
