LoSDoN. July 20.-The Times summar-
zes the harvest prospect of the world
as follows: "In Russia there is a grave
deficit, the peasantry are starving and
there is small hope of relief. In India
these is serious anxiety; famine pre-
walls over considerable portion of the
country, Madras, Rajputana and the
Puniab being the worst sufferers. There
is drouth in Bengal and the need of
more rain is urgent. Bombay alone
promises good harvest.
'The American harvest will be good
in quality and amount, but with the
failure of the Indian and Russian sup
plies it is Of the utmost Importance that
the English crop shall not be short.
The prospect on the whole is good In
the chief wheat counties-Essex, Nor
folk and Sutfolk-the crop is above the
average, and in other counties up to the
average. The harvest will be late and
prices will be high. There is. therefore,
a good outlook for the English farmer
to break the long series of disastrous
years

The Tragedian Becomes the Victim of
BlackmaiIers.
New YORK, July 20.-Edwin Booth,
the distinguished actor, it Is reported,
has been the object of a conspiracy to
obtain money from him. Generally the
runor is that disreputablc newspaper
man and person connected with the
stage had for years in their pos
session a document relating to an in
cident in Mr.. Booths family, but Of
which Mr.. Booth was not aware until
informed by the conspirators, and for
which he was in no wise responsible,
and that they had used this knowledge
to blackmail him. The story goes to
say that Mr.. Booth had been harassed
by these men, that their persecution
had even affected his brain, and that
this. the breakdown of his mental
powers WAS the primary ransa of his re-
tlremcn, from the stage.
The late Lawrence Barrett, it was
said, had lnrerposed between the sup
posed conspiratOrs and his friend. Mr..
Barrett did not believe the story which
these men said they had to tell, and ar
gued that all probabilities and possibili-
ties were against its truth. Never
theless, rather than see his colleague
and friend put to the trouble
and annoyance of coming out IN
public and denying allegations, Barrett
paid them to discontinue their annoy
ance. When, however, Barrett died the
alleged blackmailers, so it is said, began
once more to annoy their victim. Mr.
Booth had been i'll some time before his
colleagues death. but the atter's sud
den taking away was an additional
shock to his nervous system, and he WAS
forced to retire from the stage.
In this condition he was an easy prev
to the alleged consplrators. One of his
remaining stanchest friends was his
brother actor, Joseph Jefferson. Mr..
Jefferson has magnificent summer res
idence at Buzzard's Bay, Mass, in the
region of Cape Cod. Hlther Mr.. Jetfer-
son invited his friend. and here the sick
man is secure from all intruiers
