In relation to his scheme for tubular
railway across the Straits OF Dover, Sir
e. J. Reed points out that, unlike tho
tunnel, the tube can be destroyed if re-
quircd with torpedoes or mines by the
feet, and hence could never be used by
an enemy to maintain the conrnrtnica-
tinn of IN cr,ny of invasion.

City Council Doings.

The city council met in adjourned
session last evening and transacted
considerable business, most of it being
of little general interest.
There was a lively discussion over
the openings in the walks of The bust
ness portion of town. a request was
made that the basement openings in
the walk by the old Sewell store be
made on the side instead of out in the
walk. The matter was referred to the
street and alley committee as were
also complaints regarding the cesspOOls
at the city hall and a sidewalk on
North Olive. The request of the fire
department for more hose was referred
to the fire and water committee. The
street commissioner was instructed to
inspect all openings in the sidewalks
for the putting in of coal and see that
the covers are substantial. So many
accidents have occurred from defective
sidewalks that the council proposes to
take more care hereafter. No further
business was considered.

In Memoriam.

James Mcintyre, member Of abb
lene Post, No. IS. G. A. R., was born
in Glasgow, Scotland, Mich. is, 1928
and died at Abilene, Oct. IS, 1891.
He came to America with his parents
when only four years old and in 1913

married to Miss Anna Barr. In 1870
they moved to Kansas and have lived
in Dickinson county since.
Early in the war for the Union he
enlisted in Co. G., Second Michigan
infantry and fought in a number of the
leading battles of the war. being
wounded three times, the last causing
the loss of his right arm.
COmrade Mcintyre possessed many
of the noble traits of his Scottish an
cestry. He was a brave and valiant
soldier, a patriotic citizen, a good
neighbOr, true friend, husband and
father, to be truly mOurned. Follow
ing are the resolutions of Abilene

THE CORN CROP.
Two Billion Bushels the Reward For the
Cultivation of Corn.

Two Billion Bushels the Reward For the
Cultivation of Corn.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE stats
teal returns of the department of
agriculture for November make the
corn crop one of the largest in volume
with a rate of field slightly above the
average of twenty bushels per acre.
Condition has not been very high at
any period of its growth, but it
has been quite uniform with no
record of more than 10 per cent
of disabilities from all causes. Plant
ing was irregular and late in many
places, growth tardy and uneven, and
fears of drought or floods or frosts very
generally felt in the latter part of the
season Storms in some sections
threatened loss, which was minimized;
drought in others checked growth
which was stimulated again by Oppor-
tune seasons of moisture. Frosts made
early threats of disaster and then de-
layed their appearance through the en-
tire month of September, which was
warm and forcing, drying out soggy
corn and shriveling immature growths.
The result is a well ripened crop, some
what variable in quality with a
moderate proportion of chaffy, I'M
filed and immature ears. The eastern
and western ends of the corn belt Ohio
and Iowa and Nebraska, gave some
what better yields than Indiana and
Kansas, the lower levels of the great
corn belt suffering more from threat
ened drought than the higher. The
highest rate of yield as estimated ap-
pears in New England from thirty-five
to forty bushels per acre. In the south
the range is from II in Florida to Is in
Maryland, while in the surplus corn
states the figures are as follows: Indiana,
80 o; Illinois, 3i.2; Iowa, 3O.7; Missouri,
29.9; Ohio, SO. q; Kansas, 26.7; Nebraska,
1858. Frost in August wrought some
injury in the northwest. In Wisconsin
the Weld is 26.7; Minnesota, % 5; North
Dakota, 272. Both drought and frost
conspired to reduce the yield in South
Dakota to % bushels. Much of the crop
is vet in the stack and the condition
and rate of yield may be somewhat bet
ter known after garnering and market
ing. Yet it is evident that the product
will not make less than 2, 900, 900, 900
bushels, or thirty-one bushels per unit
of population

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.

Hints That When the Navy is Ready z
Peremptory Demand Will Be Made on
Chill.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lin view of the
day and night, as we'll as Sunday work
going on at all the navy yards in fitting
every available vessel for service, a
newspaper representative called at the
Office of the secretary of the navy. Sec
rotary Tracy was at cabinet meeting,
but Private Secretary Raymond talked
freely within certain limits Eyes, "
he said, I'VE are working night and
day and Sunday as well, fitting all
our boats for service. The papers
are wrong, however, in saying such a
condition has not existed since the war.
1t did once-the Virginius affair. OF
course, we think the situation justifies
this haste and effort or we would not
make it Still war is not bound to
come. That is not the idea, only the
Gillian matter-is by no means settled
and we want to be ready"
One thing was clear in Assistant
Secretary Raymond's talk and that
was that the navy intended to be ready
for the worst 1t is surmised that a
good deal of fault was found in the
state department because the navy was
not ready at the crisis in the Gillian
case to back up the state department
in its demands.
The incessant work in the navy yards
provokes good deal of uneasiness in
naval and military circles. The reason
of the hurried preparations is kept a
profound secret but naval people here
believe it portends trouble. 81 am
confident" said a naval officer, that
powder will be burned over the Gillian
matter yet 1 can't say just how or
when it will be brought about,
but we feel sure it is coming.
War is the logic of the herculean
effort the United States is making
to get its boats ready. No peace
theory justifies the present condition
in the navy yards. My idea is that the
state department has made up its mind
fully in the Gillian matter from what
Egan and Schley have written; that it
is keeping quiet and pushing things to
get ready. When the navy is ready
Blaine will make a peremptory demand
for redress and in case Chilli refuses
compliance at once order the feet to
enforce the demands. That is what 1
think and believe too it is the general
belief among all the naval officers"
