The returns of the East Indian
wheat crop for a series of years sho W
= steady diminution in the area OF
land seeded, and also of the total
yield. 1t looks as if the production of
wheat in that country had reached its
highest point. and that the measure OF
its competition with other wheat pro-
ducing countries can now be accurately
gagged. The reason for believing that
the maximum has been reached there,
and that future crops will either
remain stationary or slightly decrease,
except as affected by favorable or un-
favorable climatic conditions, is based
on the efforts put forth by the British
government to sti mulate the produc-
tion OF wheat in that country. 1t is
mainly owing to these efforts that the
production has reached the proper
tions of the last few years. and ma.

Funeral of Mrs. Booth.

LONDON, Oct. 14.-Seldom have
more impressive funeral services been seen
here than those to-day for the late Mrs.
Booth, wife of the commander-in-chiefo
the Salvation Army. Not merely because
of the enormous crowd present in the
Olympia, estimated at 5000 persons, but
because of the evident genuineness of the
grief shown by this great multitude of
mourners. The scene in the vast amphi-
theater was a singular and imposing one
The dense fog which hung over the city
penetrated the building and almost OBJ
scured the view of one part of the assem-
blage from another. The weird effect thus
produced was added to during the frequent
pauses in the service, when the death like
stiffness was broken only by sobs and sor-
rowful CALCULATIONS here and there in the
hall. The service was more touching and
grand in its simplicity than many a regal
funeral ceremony.

Brave Rescue of Seamen.

NEW GLASGOW, n. S. W. Oct. IA.
the four men remaining on the wreck Of
the bark Melmerby, which stranded at
Little Harbor while on a voyage from
Quebec to Greenock with lumber, and
from which the captain, and first and sec
ond officers and twelve men were drowned.
All day yesterday crowd on the beach
watched the poor unfortunates upon the
crumblnG wreck, but were powerless to
effect or even attempt their rescue, SO
wild was the sea, and then night settled
down without any abatement of the ter
rifle storm Two men remained on the
shore and occasionally waved lanterns to
show the mariners in such perilous posi-
ton that they were not forgotten. When
this morning dawned an immense crowd
assembled, but it was noon before it was
considered at all possible to to make an at
tempt at rescue. Then boat was
launched with volunteer crew, consist
ing of Captain p. Gray, David Williams,
DIR. Mclean of New Glasgow, James Mo-
glasher of Beg Island and A Desconze-
man. The brave fellows fought terrible
battle with the waves, but eventually
reached the wreck, when mighty cheer
went up from the anxious watchers on
shore. One by one the exhausted and be-
numbed shipwrecked men were lowered
into the boat and after second desperate
battle with the breakers the boat was
safely landed. This work was facilitated
by a liberal use Of oil. Two of the rescued
men were sick and one had his shoulder
broken. The rescued men were Seamen
Kane and Evans, the steward and the
captain of the schooner, which went to
supply the bark with provisions and was
unable to return to his own vessel The
stranded Melmerby is fast breaking up.

ton will depend on the decision of

appeared to be, that land be purchased

and a track laid out, that there should

the county at large be invited to take
stock. incidentally. it was mentioned,
that certain forty acre or eighty acre
tracts adjoining the town site could lie
purchased for from five to ten dollars per
acre for this purpose. This with the i'm.
provements would make the stock lave
an actual value and thus lie more sal
able. On Wednesday the committee
had already got nearly 81 800 subscribed
which shows how much in earnest our
own citizens are in this matter and Is a
sufficient guarantee that a fair will be
held and that it will not lack funds for
SUCCESS. The minimum sum deemed
necessary is twenty FIVE hundred dollars.
and it is thought that larger sum can
easily bs raised. No state fair will lie
held at Grand Forks this year and it is
probable that efforts will he made, 10 the

A distressing accident occurred Mt
Drayton ON Tuesday afternoon, during
q heavy squall. The pontoon boat was
blown from It's moorings, and young
man. Frank Edwards, son of W. q. Ed
wards. age about twenty one. WAS swept
from the deck by rope and being un.
able to swim was drowned before as,ist
ance could be rendered. lie was mucl,
respected in the village, and the family
have the sympathy of all.
A double headed delegation is an.
nounced from tho crstwhile peaceful
city Of Drayton. ]. M.Wylle. r. d. Rich.
ardson. George McCrea, and ]. d. Wal.
lace are one set Of delegates, and A. H..
johnson L. w. Patmore. H. W. Wallace.
J. ID. Wallace, another. AS We under.
stand the trouble. Messrs, johnson and
II. w. Wallace as township committee
called the caucus. At the hour appoint
ed. eight o'clock, Mr.. Wylie called the
meeting to order. and in a very few min
utes the delegates were selected and the
meeting adjourned. Immediately fol.
lowing the adjournment, Mr.. johnson
as chairman of the committee, called a
meeting to order in the same place and
proceeded in the regular manner to elect
another set of delegates 1t is claimed,
OH behalf Of the Wylie delegation that
they had the largest meeting at the reg
ular time and place, and that the john
son delegation was elected by a half
dozen malcontents who were angry be-
cause they were not themselves elected
as delegates. On the the other hand is
claimed. that Mr.. Wylie had no right
to call the meeting to order, that it lack.
ed five minutes of eight, and was at lcas,
no more than eight when the caucus was
called to order by MIR. Wylie, that things
were showed through with r,,sl, pur.
posely, that many of the voters prcscn,
and voting, were not republican, tina,
part Of the delegates elected arc not re-.
publicans. Unless some compromise i,
made of this difficulty either before or nj
the convention on Saturday, it is likel,
that it will ut once bring up and l,erl,ar,
settle the attitude ofthe republican part,
to the organization which, held its conyen
ton at Hamilton few weeks since.

As a pointer to Our citizens, as to the
Importance o! this movement to pembi.
