valley states and in the spring wheat re-
gion exceptional individual yields have
been more numerous than usual, carry
ing the state average to the verge OF the
best records of former years. The aver
age of the middle states is nearly as
high. California presents disappolnt-
ing output, large area having been out
for hay, and in some districts, notably in
the San Joaquin valley, the returns are
of reduced yields and nearly failures.
The average yield Of oats higher than
the early returns of condition would in
dictate. though that OF the last month
showed that the condition when har-
vested was the highest for several years,
being slightly above the record for 1889.
Oats evidently shared the beneficent in
luences of the present season, yielding
quite up to popular expectation. The
same may be said of barley.
The corn crop, very promising last
month, though little late and in dan
ger OF frosts above latitude AZ degrees,
and somewhat injured already in the
more northern districts, has improved
during the month, result of the high
temperature of the last two or three
weeks. A good crop is assured.
Potatoes, which in some sections were
threatened with rot September 1st, have
come through the month in good con-
dition, with loss of only half point.
There is slight lowering in condition
in Maine, and in some states improve
ment is made.
The average condition OF tobacco ma
terially advanced during September by
fine weather for maturing.

THE PISTOL ROUTE.
YOUNG FRANK SUFFER- RIDDLES
HIMSELF WITH BULLETS.
An Eighteen Year-Old Boy Found Dead
in His Fathers Barn-Love Unre-
Quilted Claims Another Victim.

Frank Suffer, Jr., was found dead in
the barn on his fathers place, corner of
Blaine avenue and Washington street,
yesterday morning. Young Suffer was
the son of F. Suffer, the jeweler. He
was only eighteen years of age, and was
attending school at the Los Angeles
business college. Friday night young
Suffer told the family that he was going
hunting early yesterday morning. AT
half-past five O'Clock Mrs. Suffer got up,
and upon going into the buggy-shed for
some kindling, was horrorstruck to dis
cover there the dead body of her son.
Two pistols were lying beside him, both
thirty-two caliber, and the property OF
the elder Mr.. Suffer. No one had heard
a pistol-shot. Before retiring Friday
night the boy seemed exceptionally
happy.
A post-mortem examination by Drs.
Hamilton and Mccoy disclosed five
wounds, three in the LETT temporal
region and two in the left side of the
thorax. Three bullets were found, one
being lodged in the brain. Circum-
stances showed that they must have
been self-inficteG.
Coroner Weldon held an inquest last
night, the verdict being that he COM
mitted suicide while temporarily insane.
1t was at first supposed that the case
was one OF murder, but the post norton
excluded any doubt on the suicidal
theory. The inquest lasted until late
hour,
1t is reported that young Suffer was
enamoured of young lady who did not
reciprocate his affections. The deceased
was born in Kansas, and while there
was very fond of hunting and often went
out shooting alone. While in Los An
geles he never spoke about going hunt
ing until Friday night. His parents at
tribute the rash act to temporary insan-
ty,presumably caused by la grippe from
which he suffered last winter. He APP
peared, however, to be very well of late,
and was of cheerful, happy disposition,
never showing any symptoms of melan-
choly.

THE CRUISE OF THEBEAR
CAPTAIN HEALY'S REPORT TO THE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Navigation on the Arctic Impeded by Ice
Importance of Introducing Reindeer in
Alaska-Inju stice of Prohibiting Natives
From Using Breech-Loading Guns.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Captain Healy,
commanding the revenue steamer Bear,
has made report to the treasury de-
partment in regard to the recent cruise
of that vessel in the Arctic ocean. 1t is
dated Ounalaska, Alaska, September
18th, and gives details about the places
visited and services performed during
his two and half months cruise. Cape
Prince of Wales was reached July 9TH,
and it was then found impossible, on
account of ice, to proceed further north,
and it was determined instead TO gather
information regarding the introduction
to Alaska of the tame reindeer, procured
from the Siberian coast. The Bear
entered the Arctic and arrived at Point
Hope, July Goth. Point Belcher was
reached August 18th, and it was found
that the ice pack was solid along the
shore, with no signs of moving, and it
was found impossible to reach Point
Harrow relief station to deliver the coal
and provisions brought from San Fran
cisco. Word was received from the
superintendent saying they have coal
and other supplies sufficient to carry
them comfortably through another year.
The Bear proceeded south, August 23d,
going to the Arctic Siberian coast,
and purchased eight reindeer. Kings
island was visited on the Both, on which
there is village of 200 natives. They
were found short in provisions, owing to
a bad hunting and fishing season, and in
actual danger OF starvation. Enough
food was left with the islanders to
bridge them over till sealing begins.
Captain Healy calls attention to the
injustice OF the law prohibiting the sale
OF breech-loading arms to the natives OF
Arctic Alaska, especially as their lives
depend on their success in bunting.
White men have made seal and walrus
so shy that the spears of the natives are
no longer of any use.
In closing his report Captain Healy
says: During the cruise much infor-
nation was gained concerning reindeer,
and the manner of the introduction OF
the animals into Alaska has taken such
hold upon the natives and whites that
it is now the most important question
before the country. Deer seem to be
the solution of the three vital questions
of existence in the country, viz: Food,
clothing and transportation, and / be-
lieve that under the care and attention
of white men the usefulness of the ami
mails will be immeasurably improved

ASHORE in A HEAVY SEA
THE UNITED STATES STEAMER
DISPATCH ON THE ROCKS.
Waves Sweeping Over Her and Her Total
Destruction Imminent-The Crew All
Safely Landed-Another Government
Ship Sent to the Rescue.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 10.-The U. S. s. Dis
patch went ashore last night in heavy
gale on the shoals on the east coast of
Virginia, about sixty miles northeast OF
Cape Charles. 1t is not known exactly
in how great peril she and her crew now
are. 1t is impossible to reach the ship
from the shore at present.
The Dispatch left New York yesterday
bound out for Washington, d. c., under
command of Lieutenant Cowles, and had
a full complement OF men on board. I'm
mediately after leaving new York the
steamship ran into foul weather. There
was bad wind and an ugly sea run
ming. 1t was decided to keep the steam
ship under the coast, thus to escape the
bad weather. A bad fog came with
nightfall, and SO the Dispatch slowed
down considerably, although even at
that she was going at fair speed.
The weather continued to grow
worse and the vessel struck,
head on. Immediately the sea swept her
about with broadsides on the shoals.
The Dispatches commander Immediately
let 60 anchor, but they did not strike
until after the waves had beat her well
onto the shoals. 1t is impossible to say
what damage was done the vessel. Com
munication with the vessel is difficult,
and almost impossible.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The navy de-
partment has given orders to the New
York navy yard to send a vessel to the
relief of the Dispatch. The lighthouse
tender at Philadelphia has also been or
dered there.
LEwEs, Del, Oct. 10.-The United
States dispatch boat Dispatch, which
went on Annasteague rocks last night

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. An import

Ohio was held at Cleveland at which
Gov. Campbell was present. There were
a number of politicians on hand from
different sections OF the state TO discuss
the prospects for the fall campaign and
consider the adyisability OF Campbell an
nouncing himself as q candidate for re-
election. All those present were
the friends OF the governor, and Ii was,
OF course, almost the unanimous demand
that he should make the race again this
year despite the bitter opposition TO him
In Cincinnati. The rural democracy
think that they can overcome the disaf-
fection against the governor, on account
OF his course IN regard to the alleged
corrupt boards In Cincinnati. by Repub-
lican recruits. Gov. Campbell, when
questioned In regard to the matter, said
that he would be candidate for re-
election II it was the desire OF his party.
He believes that Major Mckinley will
be his republican opponent. and that
was the general sentiment OF the confer
ence. The ward workers In Cincinnati
and Columbus will bitterly oppose the
renctnination OF Gov. Campbell, and the
party Is likely To have bad fight on It's
hands in the nominating convention.
