Some Astounding Facts Regarding the
European Shortage in Breadsts,ffa.
NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-An exhaustive
study of the worlds food supply, i'll the
forthcoming number of The American
Agriculturist, emphasizes facts of grave
Importance to both America and Europe.
1t declares that the half has not been
told about the European shortage in
meadstutfs, which not even bountiful
crop this year would have relieved.
Continental powers, especially Russia,
suppress the facts SO far as possible. In
many Russian provinces the scarcity of
food became pronounced as far back as
February last Accepting the largest
estimates of production, both at home
and abroad, and even assuming that the
United States and Canada can export
ee5 900, 900 bushels, there is IL deficit in
the worlds food supply of at least 2OO,-
00O, 900 bushels of wheat and rye, with
a possibility of the shortage
Being Twice as Great.
Added to this is the almost total failure
OF the potato crop in Ireland, and Sc
rious curtailment in the yield of potatoes
on the continent. Even with the ut
most economy of distribution and an un.
heard of consumption of American
maize, grave distress is before the masses
of Europe. Enormous exports of wheat
and flour from the United States in Au.
gust prove that Europe regards the sit.
uation as worse than it has yet been
painted. For the first time in years
wheat, bran and middlings are exported
to Europe thus early in the season.
These circumstances are accepted as the
strongest possible reason for believing
that prices of wheat are today naturally
low. 1t looks for a sharp advance in all
cereals as soon as the demand realizes
the limited extent of the worlds actual
supply. Every bushel of high grade
wheat is today worth fully one dollar on
the farm where it grows.

The Number of People Who Crossed the

OOO--Serious Trouble Anticipated in
the Scramble for the 5000 Claims in
Sight.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. ss.-The settle
ment of the newly ceded portion of Ok
lahoma was made in a more peaceful
manner than any one anticipated. Some
shooting is reported and two negroes are
said to have been killed by cowboys,
but no such fighting occurred as was
thought, and naturally, that there would
be. Simultaneous with the arrival Of
noon. the home seekers gathered on the
border made a head1ong rush over the
line into the coveted country and on to
the quarter sections upon which their
eyes had been feasting, some for days
and others for weeks and months.
Fully 10000 people We're on the
line and There was Il wild scramble for
the G.00e claims and 1000 town lots. A
crowd Of nearly 5000 in camp at Topee
will st;rrt in !: body for the new county
Eeat of Chandler. They declare that
they will not wait till Friday for the
survey to be completed, but will take
the town by force during the night, and
if they fail in this they will found a
town in the morning Oh the adjoining
section. The company of soldiers ut
the town have orders to shoot and blood
will flow freely if the attempt is made.
At Perkins 5000 people are fighting and
struggling to get on the bridge crossing
The Cimarrol, river, and when the signal
is given to go many will be crushed on
the bridge if it does not give
way and precipitate them into the
river. AT Langston the negroes
Arc getting Very Excited.
The sight of a gang of cowboys campep
ings are heard on every side. At Cimarron
City 500 Presbyterians, led by tall, raw
boned preacher, are waiting to be led
into the land of promise by their mod
ern messiah. At the Sac and Fox
agency, on the east side the crowd is
turbulent, several men having been
killed already. Along the line whisky
jugs and BOTTLES are plenty and many
men are now intoxicated. The 100 dep
uty 1narshals and the handful of soldiers
are unable to do anything with the
crowd. The number Of women on
horseback is remarkably large and fully
20 per cent. of the claims will be Sc
cured by the fair sex. In this city
everything is deserted. Stores are
closed and doctors, lawyers, preachers
and everybody have gone to the new
Eldorado. The boomers bought so
many supplies that provision famine
now exists. Hundreds of men who ar
rived on the midnight train could not
get conveyances and a.e walking to the
line, while scores slept in the streets.
