Grand Showing al Arounus
WASHINGTON, D. C. August 10.-The
August returns to the statistician OF
the Department of Agriculture make
the condition of corn CO.'S spring wheat
95.5; spring rye 500; oats s9.5; barley
90, buckwheat 97.3. Potatoes 96.5; to-
bacco ss.5 hay 90. 9. Corn has fallen
off two points during the month, the
decline being almost entirely in the
states of Ohio valley and near west.
The decline was due to dry weather
and approaching drought in parts OF
Ind. and Ills. and TO low temperature.
In the surplus States the averages
are: Ohio, %; Indiana, SIS; Illinois, So;
Iowa, 90; Kansas. So; Nebraska, 50. The
wheat returns relate to spring wheat
only, the average for the whole breadth
advancing somewhat during the month.
The improvement in general except In
Washington, where hot winds injured
the prospect in some districts, and the
State returns outside this State and
Wisconsin, closely approach the stand
ard for comparison. The principal
States: Wisconsin, 70; Minnesota, 9s;
Iowa, 95; Nebraska, 81; North Dakota,
90: South Dakota, 9S; Washington, 30.
Oats have improved two points during
the month, and the figures OF condition
indicate medium yield per acre. The
blight, which ruined the crop last year,
was feared again this year, has appear
ed in but few isolated localities. Barley
shows improvement and promises large
crop in most of the districts OF heavy
production. The condition Of potatoes
is remarkably high. scoring gain OF
point over last month.

Rnah Continues.

Notwithstanding the fact that some
people have attempted TO discredit the
marvellous powers Of Madame Leveta,
the rush TO her parlors at 29Os Chapllne
street continues, ard the statements Of
her callers prove the truth Of her claim
to be the most successful clairvoyant
ever in Wheeling. The throng that
nightly visit her is so great that en-
gagements must be made for audiences
with her two and three days in advance.
Recent social and domestic events,
some Of which have not been made pub
lie through the newspapers. although
these events are town gossip. have been
brought TO light through audiences
with Madame Leveta, and will in most
cases go far to relieve the anxiety Of
some OF the principalsin in these domestic
and social disturbances. Consultations
with her about affairs OF chance and
business difficulties have resulted salts
factorily. Madame Leveta will remain
for quite awhile in the city, and II you
are thinking about consulting her, bet
ter arrange for an audience at once.

White had good reasons for
leaving the port. Possibly the
Salvadorian authorities wanted the ship
to wait until some official came down
from up country to the shore. Captain
White is little Massachusetts, sea cap

concluding Mr.. Bullay says: "Oh, It's
nothing serious at all. The cause is
probably local, and is likely TO have
come from the Jealousies existing be-
tween those ports. Mr. Blaine will set
tie the matter In short order"
"Will they hold the vessel or make
her captain give bonds?" was asked.
"Hold her? No, / think not" was
the prompt reply. "They have no forts

MORE FUN FOR BLAINE.
A U. S. Steamship Seized by Author
tiles of San Salvador.
FAILED TO COMPLY WITH LAWS
Passed to Prevent Discrimination BY the Pacific
Nail Company Against Central American
.Stans-An Official Says Blame
Will Settle L

SAN SALVADOR, August lo.-The Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company has goo
itself into trouble.
Its ships have sole control OF all the
traffic between the Central American
States and the United States. The Gus
tom has been TO load these vessels az
night, so as TO make quicker time, 10
meet the terms Of the subsidy for car
rying the mails.
The rates charged by this company
are excessive, and the Central Ameri-
can countries have been much put out
over the way they are treated. AS mat
ters stand they can derive more benefit
by sending their imports to Germany
instead OF America. Reciprocity
schemes will not do any good so long as
things remain as they are at present.
The Germans have seen their chance 10
profit by this state OF affairs, and al
ready many Of their vessels are loading
in Central America.
As q. result of the strained relations
between the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and these States, Guatemala,
Nicaragua and San Salvador passed
laws making it illegal to employ natives
at night This proceeding was resented
by the company. The climax has been
reached by the confscation, by the Sal
vadorlan authorities, OF the Pacific Mail
steamship City OF Panama, Capt. White.
The seizure took place at La Libcrtad.
The cause of IL was that the City OF
Panama left La Union without a permit
from the captain Of that port IL Is
said that Capt. White, in his desire to
leave La Union promptly, so as 70 main
tain his time schedule, weighed anchor
at dusk There was lot OF goods on
the dock and the authorities insisted on
their being shipped. In order to dodge
this work, which would delay him con-
siderably, Capt. White left the port
without the necessary permit.
The United States war vessel Ranger
is in these waters, and she will probably
be brought here at once 70 take hand
in the trouble.

A BLOODY RIOT.
A Colored Picnic Gets Into aFracas-Blood
In Rivers-Fatality.


CINCINNATI, O., August 1O.-Hunt's
Grove, which is situated on the Big
Four railroad, a few miles west Of
Cleves, and twenty miles west OF this
city, was the scene Of bloody riot
at a picnic of colored people from this
city this afternoon. There were
several hundred people there, men and
women provided with whisky razors and
pistols. The first bout was between
two colored women, Ida Griffin and
Beatrice Graham, who quarreled about
a lover and went at each other with
razors till both fell exhausted from loss
of blood. Beatrice is in jail tonight
and Ida is in the hospital dangerously
wounded. Full of whisky, and in
famed by the sight Of blood the
~sale desperadoss began to vaunt their
prowess. Jim Chapman, who has served
a term In the penithntiary, threw down
tee gauntlet to any man on the ground
Hal Hendricks, VINO muFuereQ man
In Cincinnati, took 1t up. Chapman
began firing. Hendricks responded
with a boulder, landing it between
Chapman's eyes, smashing the frontal
bone, and laying him out. Chapman
soon recovered and the battle was re-
newed, this time with allies about equal
numbers on each side.
The visible result of the battle is:
H. Hendricks shot once clear through
the body under the heart, once clear
into the body wounded mortally; Jim

GIGANTIC CLAIM BUREAU
At Washington Established by News
papers to Prosecute Claims Against the
United States.

At Washington Established by News
papers to Prosecute Claims Against the
United States.
ST. PAUL, MINI, August 10.-A con-
tract signed here to-day between w. R.
Hearst, proprietor of the San Francisco
Examiner, and Frederick Driscoll, man
ager Of the ST. Paul Pioneer Press, be-
comes an associate of the Erdm-
tfer in its claim bureau recently
established at Washington, D. c. The
object of this bureau is to prosecute
legitimate claims Of any nature or de-
scription whatsoever against the United
States Government. This is the result
of constant complaints from claimants
who thought they were being unjustly
dealt with, and those, still more numer-
ousl who applied TO Congressman
and newspapers to find a reliable
agent. The originator Of the idea for a
combination Of newspapers to establish
this gigantic bureau was the late Sena-
tor Hearst, the millionaire Senator from
California. The bureau will be at the
service of subscribers to the papers as
we'll as the public at large. The
idea is only to charge SUFFICIENT
fees to cover actual expenses involved
and cut rates, on the ordinary attorneys
who get rich out Of the claimants. Mr..
Hearst leaves here so-night for Chicago,
st. Louis, Cleveland. New York and
Boston where similar contracts will be
signed with representative journals
thus forming powerful combination OF
influence and wealth which cannot fail
to expediate the successful prosecution
of patents, pensions, land mining, and
Indian depreciation claims and be a
boon to the thousands of poor people
who are unable to bear the consequent
expense of pushing their claims. The
papers which have already contracted
the enterprise are the San Francisco
Examiner, Omaha Bee, and st. Paul
Pioneer Press.
