At this date i. is too early to make

At this date it is too early to make
close estimates of the growing cane
crops. However, the latest Information
received indicates that they will aggre-
gate about 80, 900 to 100, 900 tons more
than the production of 1sS9-90, which,
added to the estimated increase Of 95,-
900 tons in the new beet crops, would
make a total probable increase in the
world 3 production of 1S90-9I Of about
Us 900 tons. The crops throughout the
West Indies have suffered severely from
drouth, but in Cuba, Brazil and Louis
lana the prospects are very favorable
and point TO considerably larger pro-
ductiop than that OF last year.

Another City Grab ExpIaincd.

AT this writing no Cumberland
paper has answered our queries last
week concerning the charge of over
5000 in last levy for 'city election ex-
penses."
a Cumberland friend of the JOUR
NAL writes privately as follows:
You enquire in your last issue why our
''city election expenses have to be paid by
the county. LISA provision perfectly idiotic,
but by the election law passed by the
Legislature last wuter, the counties have got
to pay for the city elections. Same Hagers-
town, Frederick, Annapolis, etc Isn't it alb
surd? But its. Ter scripta est.
1t is needless to ask, therefore, where
were our own Representatives when
this law was passed.
Against the canal-steal crowd they
furnished about as much resistance as
II rat-tail to millrace.

Justice Still Blind.

Judge Alvey has delivered an opin-
ion favoring the sale of the canal, and
the Cumberland Times claims it as ''in
accordance with the views Of this (the
Times paper"
The Baltimore SIN observes that
There is no allusion whatever to any of
the legislation of 1890, either to the act auth
orizing lease of the canal and a sale of all
the States interests to the Washington and
Cumberland railroad company, or the acts
amendatory of the charter, of that improyi.ed
corporation, so as to enable it to become a
purchaser of the canal and operate it as a
railroad
To this discovery the JOURNAL de-
sires to add another-that while the
Judge agrees with his receivers, he
makes ''no allusion whatever" to his
concurrence with tne views of the
Cumberland Times.

"They will depend on the superior intelli-

men who settle here. They will come into
competition with the American manugac

for them all, but that they will have to
hustle to keep along. They will not make
any better goods than are already being
made here, because as good WOODEN cloth
is made here now as is made anywhere in
the world. The men in the importing
business don't say this. because with the
increase Of the product Of mills here their
business slides away from them.
These trades are not the only European

vanced as have the linen and WOODEN and

N.ASHvILIES FIRE.
Penitentiary Buildings Burned Causing ;
Loss of 100000.
Nashville Specially

NASHVILLE Special.)
{. One of the most disastrous fires of late
wears in Nashville occurred at the State
pcnitentiary last night, consuming nearly
all the workshops within the walls of the
prison, and jumping the wall on the east
side and consuming two cottages and an
immense amount of lumber, stacked there
for use in the wagon manufactorv within
the pcniteniiary.
The total loss Of the Tennessee Agrcul-
tura works, not including the buildings
which belonged to the State, is estimated
at about $225, ZOO. The total insurance is
about $l23,000. The loss in machinery
alone was very heavy, as a great deal of
new machinery had recently been put in
the shops. The machinery was valued at
from $4,000 to 100000.
There were about 1000 wagons in the
shops, large portion of which were
burned, one warehouse filled with them
having been destroyed.
There was also in the buildings large
amount of stock ready to he worked up.
This was all destroyed, and there is no
means now of estimating its value. The
stock was left, being much broken up, IL
great deal of unfinished work in odd
pieces remaining. The wheel department
was complete loss.
The Tennessee Agricultural works lost
number of sheds and buildings
valued at 100000, and besides lost from
$4,000 to $1,000 worth of lumber in the
immense yards just east of the penitcn-
tiary walls where stack of lumber valued
at S15 900 is stacked
The building burned inside the walls,
with the exception Of the sheds and out
houses already mentioned, were the prop
erty Of the State, and occupied the places
destroyed in 1881.

Our Cereal CrOp.

New YORK, Oct. 23.-Thc Financial
Chroncal has an interesting article on the
present wears cereal crops, which accounts
very fully for the present prices of grain.
The crop of $50, according to the Chrohi-
Gle, is phenominally short; and but for the
grain left over from last year prices would
long ago have been "'way up" The yield
Of wheat in 1880 is placed at 4O2 million
bushels against 400 million bushels in
1889, falling off of IS million bushels.
OF oats the yield this year is 536 million
bushels, against 75l million bushels last
year, a falling off of 2l5 million bushels.
The yield Of corn is estimated at ,G3S
million bushels against Zip million
bushels in 1889, Il falling off OF IA million
bushels. In an article quoted in The Sun
the other day Mr.. Schocnhof showed that
the grain crop of 1889, large as il was, was
worth $l93,0O0,000 less than the grain
crop on 1850. The crop this year must
compare even less favorably with that OF

McKINLEY's FIGHT.
one OF the Most Spirited Contests Ever
witnessed in Ohio Now Going on
In McKinley's District.

MEDINA. ONO, Oct 23.-Politics are
boiling hot in this, Mcknleys district.
The district, as al present made.up, gave a
democratic majority of over 1000 at the
last election, the democratic Legislature
having arranged it apparently, with a
special view to McKinley's defeat. But in
spite of these odds the republicans are
doing their level best, and the democrats
realize that they too must work in order
to beat down the strong combination that
has been made to overcome their majority
and return the author OF the Mckinley
Tariff bill.
Governor Hill. of New York, and num-
Der of other leading democratic orators
have made appointments TO deliver
spccches. and from now until the election
the conflict will rage with almos! unparal-
lclcd bitterness.
Speaker Reed and Gen. Il. y. Algcr
have made number Of speeches and the
republicans are aroused as they never
have been before Both Reed and Algcr
spoke here last night 10 an audience of at
lcas, 5000 people Crowds came in from
all directions, many of them farmers.
There were ten bands OF music and a bat
terry of artillery for the firing OF salutes.
Mr.. Blaine is expected to make two
speeches in the district.
1t is impossible to Judge with any GER
tanty OF the result, though it is probable
the democrats will win, but with reduced
majority A vast deal of money will be
used by the republicans, and unless this
is offset by free use of democratic
cash. the issue will be doubtful.

AN EXTENSIVE SOCIETY.

As vet the police have made little prog
rcss toward getting ut the bottom facts
concerning the Malta. The question is,
who are its leaders? This honor is as
signed by some to Macheca, and by others
to one of the Matrangos- Giovanni Pro-
venzano, pietro Provenzano, Nicolo. Gil
ulio, Antonio Pellagrini, Antonio Gianfor-
CARO- and Gaspardo Lombirdo have been
in the parish prison since last May, charged
with wounding. while lying in wait, Saliva
dor Sunzer, Vincent Caruso and Tony
Matrango, all three of whom have been
arrested in connection with the assassina-
ton of Chief Hennessy. They talk quite
freely of the Hennessy murder and the
Malta, which they assert, was controlled
by the Matrangos.
"Hcnnessv was killed." said Proven
zano, "because he was going to expose
these men, He knew all about Matrango
and Gcracci; he got news from Italy about
them, and he was going to tell what he
knew, and that would have broken them
up. Matrango was the head Of the Sto-
paliagieri Society"
What is that society,"" was asked.
'Thcy are the people who work for the
Matrangos. There are about twenty lead
ers of them, the committee, and there are
about 300 grccnhorns, who have got to dc
ANYTHING the leaders say. When Jim Ca
russo came to me about four years ago with
letter asking 81 900 for the Malta or they
would kill US, Caruso told me Matrangc
was the president, and Rocco Geracci was
leader. Caruso said he had been in il
too, but got out of it as soon as he could
He said they took him into room, where
he saw Matrango dressed i'll black dom
