Mothers Wheat Report.


TOPEKA. November A.-Secretary Mohler
says: Drouth has cut down the acreage of
wheat sown in thirty-nine eastern counties
to 64.7 per cent of that sown last year. The
more southern suffered worse than the north
ern counties. From Chautauqua county
come reports of wheat being ruined in the
stack by stack weevil; and in Cowley county
weevil in the bin and Hessian fly in early
sown wheat. and doing much damage.
In thirty-five central counties the percentage
is 96.3 of last years acreage. Most of the wheat
was sown late, with enough moisture in the
soil to terminate seed, yet there has been but
little growth.
In thirty-two western counties the acreage
sown is 1858 per cent of that of 1890, the
soil in most counties being reported in favor
able condition.
The total estimated area for the entire state
sown to wheat in the fall OF 1891, as COM
pared with area sown in 1890, is reported at
92.64 per cent, or 284 ,953 acres less than q
year ago.
The condition of wheat generally through
out the state is much be ow the average at
this season of the year and the outlook for
the next wheat crop In a very large portion
Of the state Is not as flattering as we might
desire it to be.

Over 5000 Manuscripts.
SENT TO ONE MAGAZINE, OF WHICH
NOT 200 WERE ACCEPTED

Mr.. Box, the Editor of THE Ladies,
Home Journal, recently gave some
interesting figures relative to the man
uscripts received by his magazine dur
ing 1890. Owing to its departments
and peculiar character the Journal
probably receives more manuscripts
than any magazine published. Mr..
Box says that he received at his Office
a total number of I5,ao5 manuscripts.
OF these 2,2So were poems: I,746
stories, and 1910 miscellaneous artic-
les. OF the poems &c were accepted;
of the stories, only 81, and of the ar
ticles 4Io, of which latter, however,
over 900 were solicited articles. Thus
it will be seen that of the entire $1,000
manuscripts only 497 were accepted;
a trlfie over three per cent. Deduct
ing from this 500 accepted articles
written at the Editors solicitation, the
net percentage of unsolicited manu-
scripts accepted is brought down to
1877, or little more than one per cent.
Statistics such as these show how
much utter trash is being written, and
the number of persons writing who
ought to be employing their time at
something else and better.

The Realing,s Outlet.
COMPLETING THE CONNECTING ROAD
WITH THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO.

HARRISBURG, April 1S.-At $3.50
O'Clock this afternoon the Philadelphia
and Reading secured what it has been
striving to gain for years, a direct out
let to the West, without using the
tracks of the Pennsylvania road. At
the hour named the last rail was laid
on rhe Philadelphia, Harrisburg &
Pittsburg Railroad, which originally
was chartered as the Harrisburg Ter
minal. and which will run from Har.
risburg, where it connects with the
Reading, to Bowmansdale, a distance
of nine miles, where it will connect
with the Harrisburg & Potomac Rail
road, running to Shippensburg,where it
taps the Western Maryland, and thence
South to a connection with the Balti-
more & Ohio, which carries the
connection to the West.
The last rail was laid at Shiremans-
town. The ballast is yet to be put in,
and it is expected that by May traf-
fic will begin. The new road is al
most in a straight line from Harris.
burg to Bowmansdale. 1t will be used
mainly for the coal traffic of the Read
ing, and for bringing coke from the
Cumberland, Md, regions.

A Great Landslide.
THE LAcKAwANNA RAILROAD COVERED
BY EARTH AND ROCKS TO A DEPTH OF
TWELVE FEET.

DANvILLE, April Io.-The storm Of
yesterday caused one of the largest
landslides ever known in this section.
The Lackawanna Railroad is covered
with earth and rocks to the depth of
twelve feet for distance of about 500
feet. The place where it occurred is
about one and half miles from here,
and is at point where the canal rail
road and wagon road start at the base
of the mountain. The wagon road is
lost under about twenty feet Of dirt,
while the railroad was pushed in the
canal and buried. Workmen have
been busy all day laying a temporary
track around this new hill There are
thousands of tons of soil moved, and
on it were trees, which came along
standing
Trains will not be delayed, but it
will take about ten days to put the
track in its former place. A passen-
ger train had passed the place just
short time before the slide. The wag-
on road will have to be made over the
obstruction as it will cost too much to
remove it.

Women Take the Lead.
THEY RAID SEVERAL PLANTS IN THE
COKE REGION-THE MILITIA WITH
DRAWN.

SCoTTDALE, April IS.-The Tenth
Regiment has left the coke region, and
it is an open secret that the strikers
take delight in their departure. This
together with the large amount Of re.
lief money disbursed among them, has
tended to bolster up their spirits. 1t
is said that over $1,000 was distribut-
ed.
Labor leaders speak more confident
ly Of the situation than they have for a
couple weeks past. There were num-
erous demonstrations in the region
Thursday night and yesterday. The
women of Leisenring No. ) raided a
number of workmen in the yard Thurs
day evening and compelled them to
desert their posts. One workman re-
sisted, but he was overpowered and
had to leave to save being brutally
punished.
The West Overton women compel.
ed two men, who had left the strikers,
ranks to get into barrows, in which
they were wheeled over the rough
roads, and given rough shaking up.
The prisoners were released on promise
that they would not work yesterday,
and they made good their pledges.
Germany Hill, near Bradford, was also
in complete control of the women
Thursday night. They were out in
force with tin pals, buckets and the
red flag.
The claim of coke companies and
labor officials, as to the operations OF
the works are still very conflicting.
The Frick company report their Jim
town plant full, and Adelaide half.
The other plants are claimed to be
running without change. The Sum
NIT plant, according to the company's
statement, had forty in yesterday.
Most of this number were imported
Italians. Six of these men were given
passage back to New York, by the
labor officials, yesterday.
The Frick company shipped Ios
cars of coke yesterday. Ten more
Italians and Huns were imported into
the regions yesterday afternoon. Some
of them went to Leisenring, while
others were dropped off at Tarrs. Big
mass meetings were held yesterday at
Painters, Summit and Leisenring.
There were but few evictions yester,
day. A Deputy Sheriff named Kyle
will be arrested on charges of drawing
pistol on a Hungarian woman evicted
by him at Morgans, A number Of
families will be put out to-day at vari
GUS plants. Some of the operator.
have serious apprehensions of trouble
The withdrawal Of the militia has hao
a bad effect on the strikers, especial,
the element inclined to riot.

OF TEEE
COLONIAL COUNCIL
FOR ST. CROIX.
Continued from Aris No. 80.)

8rd Member for Frederiksted's Country Dis
trict (Hevitt) said, the suggestion contained
in this proposal came from His Excellency
himself previous to his departure lastly for
Europe. Before proceeding further in his re-
remarks he would at once beg to say, that he is
not personally interested in the matter of
these loans. He would then first say, that he
felt a little surprised at His Excellency's reply
to-day to this proposal, and he ~feltsure the same
was the case with the honorable proponent.
1t is true that the discussions were on the oc-
casion alluded to held within closed doors
of the Council, but were not exactly a. secret,
and it was we'll known that at the time His
Excellency made the suggestion about the
immigration Fund, no objection was raised to
it by the Members. At the time we had very
bad prospects, and the question was whether
the labourers could be employed, or whether
they were to be let free. But from the re-
marks ofHis Excellency parties were led to
expect relief. We have had 8 drought of 18
months, and in most cases the labourers were
paid merely for being in the e%statess villages,
as there was but little or no work; 3 days la
bour in the week was mostly the rule and
many in Strengthened circumstance did that in
expectation of this assistance, it being fore.
Swallowed that His Excellency would bring in
a proposal to use the necessary amount from
the immigration Fund to assist those planters
who needed it. Now it might be thought, that
after the change of weather, the Government.
thinks that the crisis is past, and that there is
no longer chance of labourers coming to Gov
ernment's house to ask for money; but the
crisis is really not passed as regards the coun-
try labourers, and if obstacles be thrown in the
way of speedily obtaining help by this propos-
al, the means to employ labourers would not be

The new chapel of st. AIMS parish was
dedicated yesterday morning by Rt. Rev.
Matthew Harkins, Bishop of Rhode Island,
assisted by large number of priests from
various parts of the State, with imposing
ceremonies. The services commenced at
z o'clock in the morning, when low
mass was celebrated by Bishop Harkins.
At 8 o'clock the bishop confirmed class
of 205 children during that mass. The
dedication proper began at 10 o'clock, and
at that time / 400 persons were present to
witness the solemn ceremony. The bishop,
with Vicar General McCabe and a process
sion of priests, marched around the build
ing on the outside chanting psalms, and
then entered the church, marching around
inside and singing dedicatory hymns
The statue of st. Ann, the patron saint
of the parish, was then blessed, and solemn
high mass was observed with Rev. Father
Payon as celebrant.
The sermon was delivered by Rev.
Charles D'Auray on the theme: 1t Is
Good for Brethren to Dwell in Unity"
The speaker was followed by Bishop Har-
kins, who made short address and pro-
nounced the benediction.
Music was furnished for the occasion
by an augmented choir, under the direc-
tion of q. Drainv.lle.
The new chapel is situated on Gaulin
avenue and is brick structure loOxl5o it.
and three stories high. The first floor is
used as a chapel and will seat 200 per-
sons. On the second floor are four paro-
chial school rooms and the third floor Is
used as hall. St. AIMS parish is a
branch from the church of the Precious
Blood and comprises the Privilege and a
part of the Social district. Rev. Napoleon
f.eclerc has charge of the parish and has
been mainly instrumental in raising fund
for the new chapel.
A very pleasant harvest concert was

What the next move will be regarding

consideration by the city government is a
question. Papa O'Brien wants time to
consider the matter, and will probably
be anxious to extend that time as long as
possible with the hopes that Hugh j.
Carroll will be elected and have the ap-
pointing of the new men. The aldermen
are not slow 20 see the game, and some of
the councilmen who have been spoken 20
about the matter say they will not be
bulldozed, and the matter mnst be soon
disposed Of The only trouble now is
that everybody wants TO be policeman,
but Chief Perry may be interviewed as
regards TO who may get there.
Regarding eX-Mayor Carroll and the
police department nothing need be said,
as il is yet fresh in the minds of the tax
PAYERS what a turmoil there was all dur
ing his administration. 1t is 20 be hoped
that not only will the councilmen not
prolong this important matter, but also
that Mr.. Carroll may not have the privi-
lege of affronting them.
