A Race War Imminent.

Wichita, KS, March 13.-SeriOus
trouble is brewing in northwestern Ok
lahoma between the whites and negroes,
and while so far the disagreements have
been evidenced by threats only. an overt
action by either faction would prove
disastrous. In the neighborhood OF
Kingfisher there exists an organization
after the nature of the White Caps,
whose special object just now seems to
be to turn from that section the tide OF
colored people now pouring in from
Mississippi. Warnings have been sent
the negroes, but they continue to arrive,
and now consider themselves sufficiently
strong to threaten back, and they have
actually, so it is reported on good au-
thority, held meeting at which plans
for the burning and sacking Of the town
of Kingfsher were: discussed. The ne
groes seem to have been induced to
emigrate from the south by the spuri-
GUS promises of real estate spectators,
and having done so they have no means
OF returning, and will be forced to
maintain their right to remain where
they are. They are heavy burden to
the taxpayers of the district in which
they have located, as they have neither
the money to live on nor the desire to
work. Both factions are reported to be
anticipating hostilities.

Boomers and Squatters at Outs.

Pierre, S. D.. March 13.-Excitement
on the mile-square on the reservation
opposite Pierre again promises blood
shed. A year ago tOwnsite boomers
from Pierre undertook to locate land on
the mile-square, but were driven off by
cowboys and half breeds at the muzzle
of their guns. To-day 100 men with
guns are awaiting an attack by boomers,
who expect to erect houses on South
Fort Pierre. According to the recent
law passed by congress the mile-sQuare
is thrown open to TOWNSHIP settlers, and
squatters now on the land propose to
hold it. Last night house hauled on
South Fort Pierre land was hauled back
and the owner threatened with ven
geance if he returned. Fort Pierre is
in a tumult. and threats are made Of
made of personal violence to the leaders
OF the townsite boomers. Tonight
South Fort Pierre is under military
rule and guards are thrown out. To
day the present occupants built twenty
five shacks. One hundred more will
follow this week. If an attempt is made
by townsite boomers tonight blood will
be split, as the present owners have
spent considerable money and propose
to hold the land. An attack is expected
tonight or early in the morning.

Seventy Lives Known to be Lost in the
British Blizzard.

London. March l3.-FOllOwing the
blizzard severe frost has set in all over
England, greatly hindering the clear
ing of the railroad lines. Cornwall con-
tinues isolated from the rest OF Eng
land. Many wrecks are reported to
have occurred on that coast and at
Lands End number of people have
been frozen TO death.
A foreign steamship was wrecked
near Dartmouth. All of the crew and
passengers were drowned. The British
Ship Dryad has also been wrecked and
her crew, consisting OF twenty-four
men and officers, drowned. The Dryad
was an iron vessel of !, 035 tons burden.
Among the schOOners lost were the
Lunesdale, and four OF her crew
drowned; the schooner Lizzie Ellen,
two of her crew drowned 1t is known
that at least seventy lives have been
lost off the coast during the blizzard
and in addition at least ten men per-
ished from cold and exposure after
reaching the shore.
The severity of the storm and the
difficulty of restoring the lines OF COM
munication to their usual state OF USE
fulness may be judged from the fact
that an express train which left Ply
mouth on Monday is still blocked up
near the Brent river. The passengers
are suffering severely from exposure.
The loss to farm stock is enormous
and will entail much suffering among
the farmers, who have already lost con-
siderable money by the terrible weather
experienced at the end of last year.
The water mains at Plymouth are
showed up to such an extent that
water famine is now added to the other
sufferings which the people OF Ply
mouth have had to endure.

that he washed his hands of the re-

Crop Statistics.

Crop Statistics.
Washington, Mach l0.-The stats
teal returns of the department of agrl-
culture for March are estimates Of the
corn and wheat in the hands of farmers,
the proportion and present value of
merchandise corn, the weight of wheat
in the commercial distribution of grain,
the result of the consolidation makes
the farmers reserve of corn 1856 per
cent of the crop in comparison with 45.9
per cent last year. In bushels 542, Co.,
900 against $40, 100000 last year. 1t is
the lowest reserve, except that from the
smaller crop of 1887, and that from the
crop of 1883. The percentage retained
in the seven corn surplus states is less
than in others. The proportion
estimated for consumption where
grown, is relatively large S4.4
per cent instead OF Sl.S of
last year. The quantity shipped or to
be shipped from the farms is, therefore,
only 1873, 600, 900 bushels, or less than
half the surplus of last year. The
proportion of the crop merchantable is
1915 per cent against S5.7 per cent last
year. It is, therefore, slightly under
the average in quality. The average
price of merchantable corn is 55.S cents
per bushel; Of understandable 1919,
The aggregate value of the crop on this
basis is 1851 900, 900, nearly 100000
more than the December valuation, an
advance of about per cent, establish
ing the substantial accuracy OF the De-
Gem Der estimate.
The proportion of wheat still in the
hands of farmers is lower than an aver
age of the last ten years, the range be-
ing from 26 to 33 per cent. 1t is 20.2
per cent, 100000 bushels. 1t has
been lower, on by in two years OF the last
ten, after the meagre crops OF 1881 and
1885, which were smaller than that OF
1890. Including the visible stocks, the
supply is 135, 900, 600 bushels. The con-
sumption of the last twelve months is
estimated at 299, 100000 bushels; seed
used 53,O00,0O0, and the exports have
been about 9S,000,00O from March !,
1890.
The low percentages of the spring
wheat states are especially noticeable.
Half of the present Stocks will be re-
quired for spring seeding. The proper
ton of the crop estimated for conslfmp-
ton within the country is 81 per cent.
against All last year. The average
weight per measured bushel is 57.2
pounds. The average of 1889 was ST.
pounds which was the precise average
of seven crops from 1883. In bushels OF
60 pounds the aggregate is 81, GOO, 600 or
80, 0OO, 900 less by weight than the pre-
ceding crop.

 I tried to make some reply, but l could not speak coherently. l had been growing weaker and weaker, and my head was whirling, and the sound of rushing, hissing water rung in my ears.

 So l heard themajor speak. I press ed his hand, and tried to smile
