HAVE TO KEEP THEIR WHEAT.

Railroads in Minnesota and Dakota I'm
able to Furnish "a Sufficient Number OF
Cars.
There is imminent danger of Il great grain
blockade in the Red River Valley. The
railroads are making extraordinary efforts
to meet the demands of the shippers with
daily freight movement of $50 loaded cars
on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Railroads, but with the rapid increase OF
farmers deliveries during this month and
December it is feared that the elevators and
railroads will prove unequal to the move
ment of the wheat crop of 5,000, 600 bushels
in the twelve counties of the valley.
1t will take 600 cars of 600 bushels each
TO move the wheat crop of the valley alone
irrespective of the demands for tonnage OF
the other parts of NoEthern Minnesota and
North Dakota. The formation Of a COM
pany with $500 900 capital is being agitated
for tho purpose of erecting an elevator at
Grand Forks. \. D., with q storage capacity

These eighteen counties have total

Senate If Mr.. Willets is elected Governor
Mr. Robinson will be probably conferred

A stranger giving his name as William
Fountaine, accompanied by young woman
whom he introduced as his wife, visited all
the public schools in Birmingham, Ala, and
announced that hG would give a show at
Erswell's Hall at 4 O'Clock. A present was
to be given every pupil who attended.
Twelve hundred children paid ten cents
admission, but in the hall they found no
show and no presents FOuntaine told them
to pass out the back way and they would
receive their presents there. They refused.
Then he went into dark corner, lighted n
match and shouted: "Fire." In q moment
there was Il panic, and many children were
trampled under foot and injured in getting
out. Policemen sent up to arrest the swim

Complete returns have been received from
more than one-half the precincts III Cali

about two-thirds OF that city. These re-
turns give Markham. r., for Governor more
than 10000 plurality over Pond D., and
also show that the Republicans have elected
the entire State ticket by similar plurali-
ty Thee entire Republican ticket in that
city with the exception of one minor
office, is undoubtedly elected by plu
raIitics ranging from a few hundred to
1000 There seems to be no doubt that the

SECRETARY RUsK's REPoRT.

The department. OF agriculture MAkSS
Some Interesting Statements.
The Secretary of Agriculture has present.
ed his annual report to the President. By
comparing prices at Chicago for Oct. 16 of
1890 and of 1889 he shows a marked increase
in the values of agricultural products, es-
pecially Of cereals. A tabular statement Of
agricultural exports Of the last fiscal year,
including live animals. barley hay, pota-
toes. hops, cheese. eggs. fax. wool, tobacco,
wines etc, the old and new tariff rates be-
ing given for each. indicates a material in
crease in the import duties on these articles
and shows each to have been imported in
considerable quantities. The Secretary says
that without ignoring the effects OF natural
causes in enhancing values, it is evident
that the economic legislation Of the last
session Of Congress has directly benefited
the farmers; the improved value of cereals,
as he believes, being largely due to the sill
yer legislation, which, moreover has les
sened the influence of Russia and India, our
wheat competitors in British markets. Our
increased export trade in cattle and animal
products, another case of congratulation,
he traces to the energetic and effective
measures adopted for the eradication of
pIeurO- pneumonia. and to the growing
appreciation at home and abroad Of
the departments ability to sup
press or effectually control contagious
animal diseases. He declares that not a
single case of contagious pleuro- pneumonia
has been alleged to exist among American
cattle shipped to British ports since March
last. In the line of further precautiOn the
department is now prepared to carry out
the inspection Of export cattle before ship
ment provided for by the act of Aug. 30.
Similar energy has been directed to our
pork interests, the department having
already undertaken the inspection called
for by the same act. The Secretary strongly
recommends an inspection law still more
comprehensive of all animals slaughtered
for interstate or foreign trade.

They Go Through Two Southern Traius
with Fair Results.
Two highs trains on the Georgia Railroad.
one leaving Atlanta for Augusta at 1850
and the other leaving Augusta for Atlanta
at the same time, were robbed by masked
men. The Southern Express Company takes
no way packages, it being a through run,
and the messengers sleep OF cOuches in the
express car. The train leaving Augusta
was robbed of about $40. Messenger Flick
len is a heavy loser, as a telegram from
Atlanta says his packages amounted to
$40, 900. Both robberes were evidently the
work of the same men. who probably knew
the run CT the road. The trains were not
stopped, the robbers mounting them at a
station quietly and doing their work, and
getting'off at the next. Messenger Smith,
on tie up train, loses about 500.
