The Worlds Wheat crop.

There seems TO be an unusual diff
hcuty this fall in ascertainiug def
utely the size of the worlds new
crop of wheat. In this country the
matter has been put at rest by the
last report of the Department of
Agriculture, which places the total
amount at about 495, 100000 bushels.
At the present writing no official
figures have been given out by any
European nation, although the best
estimates of the most competent
parties make the annual yield Of
France and England about 20 per
cent. larger than last year, while
that of Austrla-lluugary and Ger
many are deficient in yield to nearly
the same extent. Russia is pracu.
cally an unknown quantity in the
problem. India and South America,
if current reports are correct, have
smaller crops than usual, while the
new and growing wheat crop of
Australia promises to be somewhat
larger than last year. As whole,
however, it is probably true that no
one really knows within 20,000,0O0
bushels what the actual deficiency
of Europe is, or what the probable
requirements of the world viii prove
to be.
American Consuls stationed in
different parts of Europe, unite in
sending reports 70 the State Depart
ment at Washington which speak of
poor harvest abroad, As a rule, with
the exception of France and Eng

United States at Mayence, Germany,
in a late communication makes the
average wheat crop of Europe this
year about 5 per cent. less than

the standard, be puts the total yield
this year at 81, rs compared with 80

comes up Tuesday at o'clock.
Isaac Davis, a sweet little colored boy
who has spent the greater part of the last
year in the city prison for petty thefts, has
at last been detected in theft that con-
stitutes grand larceny. He stole silk
dress from Mrs. Fanny Bowers, No. 3l6
North Market. The little thief was
turned over TO the state authorities for
trial at the next term Of court.
Last evening Officer Stewart brought in
to the court very much intoxicated man
who gave the name of O. McCarty. He
was found wandering around on East
Douglas and was about to engage in a
fight with his companion when arrested.
Two colored people of different sex were

ferred against them in court this morn

There was some trouble up at the stock

TRADE WITH WICHITA.
REASONS WHY ST. LOUIS SHOULD
DEAL WITH THAT CITY.
An Important Meeting Held in the Di-
rectors' Room Of the Merchants
Exchange Yesterday-The
New Freight Tariff.

ST. Louis Republic, June Il.
As stated in yesterdays Republic COM
m1ttee representing the board of trade of
Wichita has been in the city several days
urging st. Louis merchants to seize the
opportunity which offers for the increase
OF trade in their direction. An informal
meeting was held Saturday In the reading
room Of the Merchants Exchange, and
large number Of merchants, wholesale
dealers and grain and commission men
Joined In the discussion. 1t was shown
that the Kansas City papers had not hest
tated to denounce the action Of the Kansas
railroad commissioners in ordering lower
rates on grain and live stock to Wichita
as calculated to draw trade from Kansas
City to st. Louis, and it was also stated
that when the Trans-Missouri association,
which is now in session at Kansas City,
concludes its labors, it will be found that
additional advantage has been given to
st. Louis over Kansas City in the matter
OF freight rates. A committee of st. Louis
merchants will probably 20 out to
Wichita during the next fortnight
and look the ground over. No definite or
stated action is ssary in matters of
this kind. In fact, it would be difficult
to take any organized action which
would influence trade. Individuals in
st. Louis trade with individuals in Wichi-
ia, and cities cannot trade with each other,
AS cities, any easier than nations can trade
with nations. Public attention can be
drawn to the advantages which will accrue
TO merchants who are enterprising enough
to seize upon natural opportunities, and
the desire to make money will do the rest.
The four counties of Sedgwick, Cowley,
Sumner and Butler, which surround
Wichita, are among the most fertile and
productive in the state of Kansas. Two
lines of railway connect st. Louis with
Wichita, the distance being 458 miles by
one one line and sos miles by the other
The new fright tariff goes into effect July
l, and there is every prospect of a good
crop this year in Kansas. Now, the Ques-
ton is whether it is not worth while
for st. Louis merchants TO make a direct
effort to secure the trade of this sec
ton of country? The visitors, who have
passed several days in the city, have per-
sonally visited the officials of the Missouri
Pacific and Frisco companies, and to man
ayers of the barge lines on the river they
have shown that they are enterprising and
go-ahead people, representing communi-
ty anxious to extend it's trade. Their city
received an average of 800 cars of freight
day during the past year, and their clear
ing house returns show conclusivelv that a
great deal of business is done at Wichita
and that it will bear comparison with
other Kansas cities. The delegation left
for home Saturday and expressed them
selves as greatly encouraged by the recep-
ton accorded them in st. Louis In order
that merchants may intelligently study the
situation as shown by existing freight
tariffs. the following table is published:

STEICkEN.

W. H. Kaufman, the proprietor Of the
st. Lawrence hotel on North Lawrence,
was yesterday morning about o'clock
found lying in his room at the hotel I'M
conscious. He had upon retiring the night
before locked the door and it was neces-
sary before any one could enter the room
that boy be let over the transom and
the door unlocked from the inside. 1t was
at first thought that he was dead but Drs
Wells and Scott being sent for they sue
ceeded in reviving the stricken man. They
continued their lahors during the day but
with little euccess,.and at midnight hope
was almost abandoned of his recovery.
The supposition is that sometime during
The night he was stricken with apoulexy.
He was feeling quite unwell the night be-
lore and for that reason had occupied
alone the room in which he was found the
next morning. His brother, proprietor of
the well known Park house, Columbus,
o., and Mrs. kaufman's brother of Min
nesota. were notified OF the illness By tele-
gram and are expected here. Mr. kauf-
man has many warm friends, not only
here but all over the United States, and TO
them the news of his sudden and severe
illness will be sad and painful surprise
