A Berlin dispatch says that aside from
the inconvenience of moving about with
his leg held stiff by bandages, Emperor
William is enjoying excellent health.
The fact that the emperor is able to de-
vote a great part of his time to attend
ing to the business of the empire is re-
garded as pretty good evidence that the
alarming reports circulated in regard to
his physical and mental condition are
unfounded.

An Ogden, Utah, dispatch says: This
whole region of country is ablaze with
excitement over extensive mineral dis
coveries about twenty five miles north
east of here at the head of Paradise can
yon. Ore in one gulch, found in enor-
nous quantities, is almost pure lead
with a quantity of pay silver. Two
miles away are ore bodies assaying up
into the hundreds. A sheepherder, who
first discovered the ore, was offered s4O,-
600 for one fourth interest in his claim
by wealthy Salt Lake mining corpora
ton. A stream of prospectors and min
ers from all parts of the territory are
passing through here. The hills are
covered with miners and the town of La

A Shanghai dispatch says there is no
use Disgusting the fact that most seri-
GUS state of affairs exists in China over
the agitation against foreigners and 9TH
ers, and the combined fleets of the pow
ers may be called upon at any moment
to take action looking to redress for the
outrages by the Chinese government.
At present state of great excitement
prevails with increasing tension between
the Chinese government and the minis
ter Of the foreign powers. From all ap-
pearances the former is obstinate in it's
refusal to redress the injuries done for
eigners during the recent riots. If the
Chinese authorities do. not yield to the
firm demands of the ministers of the
powers a concerted hostile action upon
the part of the vessels of various nations
represented in those waters is imminent.
Such is the state of affairs that it is now
known the foreign ministers have been
compelled to inform the Chinese govern
ment that joint naval demonstration
of an effective nature in which the
French, American, British and German
squadrons will take part, will be ordered
in the near future unless speedy repa-
ration was made for the injuries, out
RACES and abuses complained of by the
ministers.
The American Agriculturalist, in it's
annual review of harvests to be pub
lished in the September issue, estimates
that the farm profits this year will be
81 100000 900 more than during the re-
cent years of depression. On the basis
of present prospects the corn crop of
1891 is estimated to be 2,OOO,OO0,OOO
bushels, wheat 5OO,OOOOOO bushels, oats
622, 100000 bushels. The total yield of
wheat, corn and oats will be 28.8 per
cent greater than last year and AT per
cent above the average of the preceding
eleven years. On this basis the value of
the corn crop to the farmers will be ST.
OOO,OOO,OOO, wheat S5OO,OOO,OOO and oats
$3.50, 100000. This is s45O,OO0,OOO more
than the value of these crops in 1890,
and $685., 100000 more than the average
value Of these crops from 1880 to 1890
