CHAUNCEv NJ. DEPEw says now is the opportunity of lifetime with the farmers of the United States European crops are failure and the crops of this country were never better. In fact Europe will be on the verge of famine for year The talk of Russia hording up grain in preparation for war is absurd in view of the fact that her crops are less by sixty to seventy per cent than is usual. She is merely pro- tecting herself so far as she can. There will be call for every bush el of wheat, rye and corn the Uni ted States can spare, before next July and European gold will flow toward this country freely in con sequence. The movement among the Alliance people to form Sales Commissions among themselves whereby the grain will be sold di- rectly from the farmer to the con- sumer is likely to result in a good deal more money getting directly into the pockets of the producers and consequently nearer to the heart of the business of the coun- fry

Playing the Mischief with the Cli-
 mate.

A dispatch to the San Francisco Chronicle says: The effect of the Salton sea upon the climate of i Southern California is becoming more apparent every day, and a feeling of alarm is gradually talk ing possession of many people over the ultimate outcome and result of the phenomenon. The weather throughout the whole lower part of the State has been exceedingly disagreeable for the past three weeks or more, and although the thermometer has in few instances gone higher than usual at this time of year the heat is of the humid character which makes the hot days of the East so hard to bear, and this effect is uni versally ascribed to the effect of the new lake on the desert. The lake is now sixty miles long and thirty miles wide, and it's influence is felt in unprecedented and tre- mendous rains in that region and throughout the mountains. Daily the lake fairly steams with evapor- ation and it's warm airs come in contact with the cool breeze from the coast. with the result that the water falls atJulian and on the sum- init in torrents. accompanied by thunder and lightning, The opin- ion in the mountain country is that the lake will be permanent and eventually a part of the Gulf of California. At Mesa Grande $50 inches of rain fell on Tuesday.

A Remarkable Case.

Some time since Pedro Brichta was injured at the railroad shops while working on the smoke stack of an engine. The locomotive was moved slightly forward by some workmen unaware of the fact that Pedro was working on top and the latter was hurt by coming in CO IT, tact with the top of the door. The injured man has been lying sick ever since under charge of Dr. Handy. He has been complaining ofa severe pain in his liver. Yesterday Dr. Handy after careful examination with Dr. Spencer concluded that an abcess had formed on the liver as a result of the injury and decided to perform an operation and remove the abcess.
 Upon making an incision in the right side and opening the cavity no abcess was found but instead a tape worm, (known as dog tape worm), was discovered iInbedded in the liver. This was removed and the patient is doing we'll and will likely recover. Had this discovery not been made the patient would have died of this peculiar affection with which he had been afflicted for a long time prior to the injury.-Tuc- son Star.

Russia Giving Offence Against the
 Allied Powers.

London, Sept. 4.-The question
 of the Dardenelles becoming pass age way for Russian ships to the
 Mediterranean just now exceeds in
 interest even the war with Chilli. A
 we'll authenticated rumor says that
 the foreign office will not stand idly
 by and see the Mediterranean in vaded by a Russian fleet under the
 guise of volunteer transports or otherwise. The main question seems to be whether England will have to protest alone or be sustain ed in such a course by the powers of the triple alliance. No doubt is entertained thatRussia has been en- couraged to her present aggressive attitude by an understanding with France, and feels safe with France as friend against any un- supported action on the part of Great Britain.
 The situation is becoming very grave, and is so regarded both in Berlin and London. Lord Sails bury, it is reported, will shorten his vacation in order to deal with the problem, which is greatly compli- cated by the unprecedented cool ness of the sultan toward the Brit ish government, A Constantinople dispatch says that the French and Russian ambassadors have been dinning into the sultan's ears the fact that, with all England's charges against Russia of intended aggran- dizement at the expense of Turkey, the only great power that has actu- ally taken possession of any import ant part of the sultan's dominions isEngland herself, and that Eng land before protesting friendship for Turkey ought to give up Egypt, if not also Cyprus.
 The sultan, therefore, is for the time being prejudiced against Eng land on account of Egypt, although also uphoIding Bulgaria against the Russian machinatIons. It Is re- membered that the Crimean war was preceded by England's rejec- ton of a Russian proposal that should take Egypt and allow Russia to have Constantine pie, and there is an uneasy feeling that Russia will fight again rather than permit England to hold Egypt without compensation to Russia.

Big Land Deal.

A personal mention of the arrival here of D. K. Tripp, A. J. Cooper and Geo. V. Smith, of Chicago, was made in yesterday'a Citizen. They came in from the west, and it is learned that they went out there to look over some 3,000,00O acres of Mohave county land which syndicate of four gentlemen, in- cluding Messrs. Cooper and Smith have recently purchased, the sale being engineered to a successful conclusion by Mir. Tripp, who is a son-in-law of Gen. Williamson, land commissioner of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad. The land con- mences at the Colorado river where the Atlantic & Pacific crosses, fol- lows up the river for a number of miles, and then goes east, taking in the land surrounding the Hualapai IHdian reservation, and thence south to the beginning. It en- braces, so it is learned, tract of about 100000 acres, and it is first class land, subject to irrigation, The gentlemen were more than agreeably surprised about their purchase after looking over the land. They are expected to return to the city in a few weeks.-Albu- querque Citizen.

FROM a dispatch from Cheyenne to the San Francisco Examiner, to be found in another column, it will be seen that the Rain Wizard, Mel bourne, brought rain according to order at that place. If MT. Mel bourne can induce precipitation in all climates, under any conditions of the atmosphere, whenever and wherever wanted, he will have solved the irrigation problem, and the natural water channels need not be disturbed or detracted from their usual beds. Arizona will become not only the garden spot of the world, but one of the most pleasant and healthiest sections of the hab- itable globe. Government can buy the right to it's exclusive use in the United States, establish rain-mak- ing stations all over the country, have rain when needed, and bid de- fance to the elements. But-the HERALD is still skeptical on the subject, and will be until Melbourne, with his machine, makes rain in northern Arizona during the months of May and June. When he does this we will be more than willing to give him the proper credit and sound his praises as often and as loud as he may desire.

A Partisan Factor.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat
 (rep) remarks with uncommon
 frankness that Arizona wants to
 be a state; but she will probably
 have to wait until there shall cease
 to be any reasonable room for doubt as the ability Of her republicans to
 beat her democrats in every con- test" The Washington Post sees it the same way. It says: 1.-The pop ulation of Arizona is greater than that of Nevada and nearly as large as that of Wyoming, but two more democratic senators and three ad- ditional democratic votes in the electoral college are bigger lift than the democrats can hope to get from a republican senate on the eve of a presidential election. The times are not just now propitious for adding democratic stars to the old flag" This is the subtance of all the arguments that have been or can be made against the admis- sion of Arizona and New Mexico. There is an ingeniousness in the way these papers state the situation that might be delicious if it were not brutal. States are to be kept out of the Union by the republican party because they may be demo- cratic. And yet the republican platform of 1888 contain ed the distinct pledge for the ad- mission of these territories.-De- troit Free Press.

The Notorious Bogus Nun.

New York, Sept. 4.-S;ster Beat rice, the notorious bugus nun. who has been frequently exposed in the newspapers, was arraigned in the Jefferson Market police court on the charge of vagrancy, preferred by Agent Jerome of the Charity Or ganization society. She was com mitted for examination.
 The woman has a history. She is the same woman who sued the late Senator s. Cameron of Penn sylvania for s5O,OOO for breach of promise of marriage. Gen. B, F. Butler was counsel for Senator Cameron, and the trial, which last. ed about two weeks, resulted in a verdict against the woman. She is said to be Marie Oliver, the wife of Thomas Marshall Oliver, of Louis vile, Ky, who discarded her. Sen ator Cameron first met her in New Orleans in 1876. She followed him to Washington and he secured her a position in the treasury depart ment. While she was living at the Fremont house General Cameron advanced her $1,OOO.

THE Tucson Citizen states that Sing King and An Soy, two China men, are now en route from that city to New Mexico to evade the Arizona law and marry two pretty Tucson Mexican girls. The Arizona law prohibits intermarriage of Cau- casian and other races. The China men tried to marry in Tucson, claiming their sweethearts were de- scendants of Indians and Moors, and were not Caucasians, but the Probate Judge did not agree with them.

Rain Made in Cheyenne.

IA fair and successful, if not en-
 tirely conclusive test of the Frank
 Melbourne method of producing
 rain. was had here this afternoon. and the demonstrate has created a profound sensation. The people are filled with amazement. The
 voilent skeptlcs capitulate, while
 Melbourne is sulf-sustained, placid and confident as ever.
 At 8 o'clock last night a careful compilation was made of the record of the local signal office and tele- graphic reports from other bureaus. At that hour the Cheyenne Signal Service observer said a rainstorm was approaching from the north west. This morning it was learned that the Montana and Dakota yisi- tation had been carried east to spend itself in Wisconsin, while every local condition presaged fair and dry weather. There might be a mist, the prophet of the Agricul- tural Department ventured, but there could be no considerable pre- cipitation.
 In the meantime Melbourne was at work. He was engaged in active labor and behaved to the interview CT as usual, looking wise, and only saying that he would make the rain come. At two o'clock this after noon only light, fieecy clouds skirt ed the horizon.
 In an hour black heavy clouds be- gan to collect near the laboratory, the rest of the sky beiug clear. At ? :45 a shower started, and in twen- ty minutes, when the rain subsided, there had been a fall of eleven-hun- dredths of an inch. This was gen. erally regarded as accidental. Mel bourne claimed it was not and said there would be more.
 Capt. Ravenscroft, the observer, had been studying his instruments and admitted unwillingly that he was completely mystified, and said the shower was certainly in part due to artificial causes. He pre- dicted, and every appearance indi- cated, that the remainder of the day would be clear.
 At 4 30 the severest shower of the season sent every one in doors. There was a driving down. pour for half an hour. It was pre- ceded by sharp lightning and thun- der, the latter being a clear but un- even report. This fall made the total AT of an inch. nearly the half inch | promised by the wizard.
 The wind was against Melbourne till the rain started. Cheyenne was a storm centre for an area extend ing twenty-five miles in every di- rection. During the experiment wind yeered clear around, almost describing a circle.
 Melbourne says there will be much more rain. He has a hole in the roof of his shop, but nothing has been seen to come from the opening.
 Captain Ravenscroft and the gen tleman who brought Melbourne here are we'll satisfied, and if to- days experiment is to be a crite- rion, the man must be granted mas tery of the elements. Further trials will follow, and in case of success arrangements will be made for State service by the owners of large tracts of land.
