ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE REcoAD-usIOs.l
CROP REPORT.
Condition of Grain Throughout the
Country.


WASHINGTON, September l0th-The national
crop report shows that the injury to the corn
crop reported last month was intensified by the
continuance OF the drought in August until the
rain came, but it was too late for full recovery.
The average is 701. against 1873 last month, the
l. west average since 1881.
On the Atlantic there is an improvement in
corn since August LIST. decline occurred in
New York, Ohio, Illinois, and all the North
western States, and in some others of less m
pOrtance. The crop is late in the Eastern
states, requiring maturing weather throughout
September. 1t is also late and variable in de-
yel0pment in New York and Pennsylvania.
The Atlantic coas5 States return relatively
high condition, impaired locally by the effects
OF midsummer drought and later storms. In
Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, a
drought reduced the condition too low for sub
sequent recovery.
The Ohio valley and Missouri valley report a
protracted drought and low condition. While
the rains of the last two weeks in August were
beneficial, they have not restored the losses of
the first half OF the month. The lowest condi-
ton is in Kansas, though some of the eastern
counties make good returns.
The Dakotas and Nebraska is a little higher.
The crop is late, and Will require as much
time to mature on the latitude OF 40 degrees for
earlier varieties grown on the line AZ degrees.
Returns of the condition of winter wheat at
the time OF harvesting are less favorable than
on the 1st of July. SO far as thrashing has pro-
gressed the results are disappointing, The July
average was 1853 per cent
The general average of spring wheat has also
reduced from SS.2 to 79 S The average for wheat
OF both kinds is 75.5. In 1883 the September
average for wheat was II. 1t was 73 in 1881.
The yield of spring wheat is unusually varia-
BILE in the Dakotas, ranging from high yield to
five bushels and less per acre. The progress OF
thrashing will develop the extent Of these diff
ferences. The rye yield is less than was ex.
pected. The condition, as reported, is reduced
to S5.4
The September condition of oats is the lowest
yield ever reported. having fallen from SOL in
August to 644 The rate of yield will be the
smallest in twenty years.
The condition of bar.ey is not seriously lower
from SIS to 776. Buckwheat has fully main
tanned its August condition, the average being
90.5. against COL
The figures for potatoes have fallen since Au
gust from IA TO 65.7, the lowest average yield
ever reported, that of 1887, being 67.S. The re
ported percentage for iattening swine is 81 pei
cent, and their condition 93.7.

COMMISSIONERS RAUM.
Further Testimony on the Charges Pre-
ferred Against Him.


WASHINGTON, September lOih.-In the Raum
investigation to-day Chairman Morrill, pro-
ceeded to pass upon the question raised as to
the relevancy of testimony offered yesterday by
Coo-er re'atingto to the character of the refrig-
orator company's stock, and ruled it out.
Lewis, a minority member, entered protest
against the narrow limitation, holding that the
character of the stock was one OF the counter
indictments.
Assistant Chief Clerk Bryant of the. Pension
Office testified that the completed cases order
expedited the settlement of some claims and
retarded others. More claims had been ad-
justed under the order than before it had been
made. He knew of no preference shown any
particular attorney.
To Commissioner Raum the witness said that
while there had been lager output of claims
under the new order than before. there had
been greater haste in the preparation of cases
and much rivalry between the Clerks. He did
not say the work was improperly done, but
called attention to the fact that come examin-
ers were disposing of cases in less time than
they could be properly considered.
The Commission wished to know whether the
witness had tried to put stop to it.
Witness replied that he had not thought of
putting stop to it. The 81, 900 cases put on the
completed files by the office had been selected
without partiality.
Judge Wilson said it had been stated that
Cooper had signed a large number of blank
calls upon the Pension Office for a firm of pen
sion attorneys, and he would like to have Cooper
make q statement about it.
Cooper said he authorized his clerk to sign a
large number of calls for pension firm in his
district, understanding that it had been the
custom. Perhaps there were l SEQ or 900 calls
signed with his name. When he came to Wash
ington he spoke to Chief Durnan in the Pension
Office about it, and he doubted if it was fair to
call up cases in that way, but he must act for
his constituents. Durnan told him to sign the
slips, and he would do what he could with
them.
Cooper did not think the slips were equivalent
to Congressional call. The attorneys he signed
for had been neglected he was told. Lemon at
that time had practically the control of the
Pension Office. Witness felt then and now that
if he could do anything to help his people he
ought to do it. he felt that they had not fair
chance with the attorneys in Washington.
Cooper asked the committee to pass uron his
resolution, referred to 1t, to extend the scope of
the investigation. No decision was made and
the committee adjourned.

A KEmARKABLE FEAT.
A Mind-Resder Eclipses all Similar Per-
formances in New Yerk

CHICAGO, September 10th-Alexander John
ston, miud-reader, performed feat in this
city o-day which eclipses all similar records.
He has been doing many remarkable things
here and finally his manager decided to at
tempt the same test which resulted in the death
of the well-known mind-Teader Bishop in New
York-that of finding q name in register and
pronouucing il.
A committee of we'll known newspaper men
and physician drove in hack from the audi
torium to the Grand Pacific Hotel by a
circuitous route, and going to the register Sc
lected name Leaving one of their number
in charge of the register, they returned to the
auditorium, where Johnston had remained in
custody with a committee man.
They bandsged his eyes securely. Johnston
instantly rushed down stairs, mounted the box
of carrisge and drove blindfolded to the Grand
Pacific. avoiding the cable cars and thousands
of vehicles on the way. He rushed to the reg
lister, turned the leaves rapidly, found the name,
repeated it. and gave the number OF the page
and date
On his way back to the Auditorium Johnston
was taken with g severe chill. which threw him
into a cataleptic fit. The physicians at first pro-
ncunced him dead. but after working over him
two hours life was again perceptible. Tonight
the mind-reader is resting comfortably but is

Safety from a Pestilential scourge.

Protection from the disease, not medi-
cinal agent which merely checks the parox-
ysms, is the grand desideratum wherever
the endemic scourge OF malaria prevails.
Quinine does not afford this protection.
The chief reason why Hos;etter's Stomach
Bitters has won such immense popularity
is, that ii prepares the system to resist the
maIariai pest. This Il does by braclng and
toning the physical organism; regulating
and promoting an equal flow and distribu
ton of the animal fluids, and establishing
digestion on a sound basis. Not only is
fever and agus prevented, but the worst
types of the disease are conquered by it.
Such is the only conclusion TO be drawn
from the overwhelming evidepce in its
favor. Itisequally efficacious in dyspep ia,
constipation, liver complaint. general debl-
ity and rheumatic complaint, and is re-
liable diuretic and nervine.

New York Central Officials.

NEW YORK, September 10th.-The mos. prom
inent passengers on the steamship Teutonic,
which arrived to-day, were Archbishop Corri-
gan and Chauncey NJ. Depew.
Two steamers went down the bay to meet the

They were taken off without waiting for the
Teutonic to reach her pier
Among the first to welcome Depew were Gen.
eral Manager Ioucey snd Vice-President Webb

Depew was conducted below, where he and
Webb held consultation.
Then luncheon was served. Loomis of the
New York Central delivered an address OF well
come, in which he referred to the strike.

WASHINGTON, September 1Oth,-Reed reached
Washington this morning and appeared at the
Capitol at about IL O'Clock. He went at once to
his room, where he has since remained, seeing

warmly greeted by both Republicans and Dem
ocrats, and received congratulations on all
hands. Later in the day he held sort of i'm
promptu reception in his room at the Capitol,

and smilax bordering large shield of white

dicative of the power with which the Speaker
welded that emblem of authority. 1t is the
gift of the enrolling clerks of the House.
