NOVEMBER CROP REPORTS.
This Looks Like Prosperity Rather
Than Fannie,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE statistical
returns Of the Department of Agriculture
for November make the corn crop one of
the largest in volume, with rate of yield
slightly above the average of twenty-siX
bushels per acre.
Frosts made early threats of disaster,
and then delayed their appC arance through
the entire month of September, which was
warm and forcing. The result is a we'll
ripened crop, somewhat variable in
quality.
The highest rate of yield, as estimated
appears in New England, from 30 TO 40
bushels per aare. In the South the range
is from IL in Florida to 25 in Maryland
while in the surplus corn States the
figures are as follows: Ohio, 33.7: Indi-
ana, 80; Illinois, 3l.2; Iowa, 361; Missouri
29.9; Kansas, 261; Nebraska. 36.3. Frost
in August wrought some injury in the
Northwest. In Wisconsin the yield is 26. q;
Minnesota, 265; North Dakota, 27.2. Both
drought and frost conspired TO reduce the
evident that the product will not be less
than 9, 1000, 900, 900 bushels, or 81 bushels per
unit of population.
The October condition of potatoes has
only been equalled once since 1880. 1t av-
erages 939 bushels per acre.
Hay has made nearly average yield,
and is of medium quality. The tobacco
product Is somewhat above the average,
and will fully meet the requirements of
consumption and export.

THE COPYRIGHT QUESTION.
Canadians Have Cotton Into Trouble by
Disregard of the Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE refusal Of
the Dominion government to recognize
that the international copyright treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain has binding force in Canada may
have far-reaching effect. The Dominion
authorities expect that they will be in
vited 10 come TO Washington in December
to enter into negotiations with the United
States for better trade relations. They
can only do this through the medium of
Great Britain. IL, however, Great Bri-
tain shall be confronted at the outset with
the information that the Dominion of
Canada rebelled against the authority of
Great Britain with regard to the matter of
the international copyright treaty the
question will very naturally arise what
guarantee Great Britain can give the
United States that the Dominion of Can
ada will not rebel against any agreement
which might be made with Great Britain
to trade relations with the Dominion. The
United States certainly will not enter
into any engagement with Great Britain
as TO new class of subjects until il can
have definite understanding that the
treaties in the copyright matter are to be
respected in Canada as elsewhere through
out the British domain.

ANOTHER FURIOUS GALE.
The British Coast Swept by
Southerly Storm.
MANY VESSELS IN DANGER.
Life Savers Look On Helpless While
Man after Man Drowns-An Interest
ing Budget of Important Foreign
News.

LONDON, Nov. 1l.-Another furious
southwesterly gale Is sweeping over the
British coast which will cause an immense
amount of damage.
News has been telegraphed from a num-
Der of points already that vessels are
ashore and that their crews are already
drowned or in danger of drowning. The
French schooner Edirimi has foundered
off Kent and the captain, his wife and son
were drowned.
The captain refused to leave the vessel,
and his wife and son refused to be sepa-
rated from him, preferring 10 drown with
the gallant sailor to being saved without
him.
At Sandgate the British ship Bienvenu
of Glasgow has been driven ashore after a
terrible struggle with the storm. The crew
the Sandgate life-saving station made
every effort possible to launch their life
boat, but without success. The rocket
line was then called into service and was
fired four times but each time the shot
fell short of the disabled vessel All this
time crowds of people were standing upon
the shore watching the agony of the crew
of the Bienvenu, who had been lashed TO
the ships rigging for hours, numbed with
cold and drenched to the skin.
AS each successive wave struck her IL
shook the stranded craft from stem to
stern; she was driven higher and higher on
the rocks which were grinding and crush
ing her bottom with each movement OF
the waves.
A life-boat finally reached the vessel
but only five of the crew were then alive.
