Mr.. 0'Brien Appears in Print and
Gives IT to the
World.
He Also Publishes His Reply Which
Completes the Correspondence
With Parnell.
Positive Proof That the Leaders
Retirement Was Not TO be a
Sham.

DUBLIN, Nov. I0.-Wm. 0'Brien pub
fishes long letter in the Freeman's Jour
nal denouncing the conduct of Redmond
and Harrington in trying to deceive the
Irish public by pretending on the strength
of their hope that he had lost Parnell's
letter that it disclosed treachery towards
Parnell and their liberal allies. O'Brien
now gives the letter to the world,
together with bis own reply, the
only letter he wrote TO Parnell during the
Boulcgue negotiations and not yet pub
lished. Parnell's letter to O'Brien sug-
gests that Mccarthy interview Gladstone
and get a written memorandum, embody-
ing the assurances already given anent
land and police transferred to
the custody of O'Brien; that if
the memorandum was satisfactory to both
Parnel and 0'Brien the former would an
nounce his retirement from the chairman
ship; that the terms of the memorandum
should not be disclosed until the home
rule bill was introduced, and not
then unless the hill was unsatisfactory but
after the passage of a satisfactory bill
Parnell should be permitted TO rubbish the
memorandum. Instead of two years limit
within which the constabulary should be
disUmed and converted into a civil force
EarrelI agreed that the time might be ex.
tended to FIVE years but said it was of vital
importance that some limit should BE
fixed.

show it to RedmondS, his brother
and Gill. OBrien says, on receiving this
letter he teegrophed it 10 Mr.. Harrington,

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Corn and Potatoes Slightly Above the
Average.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l0.-StatiStical re-
turns of the department of agriculture for
November make the corn crop one Of the
largest in volume with a rate of yield
slightly above the average of 26 bushels
per acre. The condition has not been very
high at any period of its growth, but 1t
has been quite uniform with no
record of more than ten 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 sea-
fon Storms in some sections threatened
loss, which was minimlzed, the drought
in others checked growth, which wat
stimulated again by cpportune seasons of
moisture. FIoSts ma an early threat of
disaster and then delayed appearance
through the entire month of September,
which was warm and forcing, drying out
soft corn and shriveliug immature growth,
The result Is a well ripened crop somewhat
variable in quality with moderate proper
ton of chatfy, untitled and immature ears.
The eastern and western ends OF the belt,
Ohio and Iowa and Nebraska, gave some
what better yields than Indiana and Hill
nois or Missouri and Kansas, the
lower Levels of the great corn
belt suffering more from threat
ened drought than the higher elevations,
The highe,t rate of yield as estimated
appears in New England, from IS 10 40
bushels per acre In the surplus corn
states the figures are. Ohio, 33 7; lndi-
ana, 80 O.; Illinois, 81 2; Iowa, 3l.7; Mis-
souri,, 30 8; Kansas, % z; Nebraska, 80 3.
Frost in August wrought some injury IN
the northwest; in Wisconsin the yield is
.26.7; in Minnesota, 265; in North
Dakota 27.2. Both drought and frost con-
spired to reduce the yield in South Da-
kota TO % bushels. Much of the crop is
yet in the stack and the condition and
rate of yield may be somewhat better
known after garnerng and marketing,
yet it is evident that the product will not
make less than 81 bushels per unit OF
POPULATION.
The October condition of potatoes has
only been equalled once since 1890, and the
average yield, according to these prelimin-
airy estimates, has not been surpassed in
the past ten years. The average is 1888
per acre
Hay has made nearly an average yield
and is of medium quality. The tobacco
product is anOve the average.

ORDERS A STRII< E.
Arthur About to Try His Power with the
Belt Line.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 10.-Enpinqers and
iremen on the belt line have just declared
strike. This will probably spread to
other lines rs Mr., Arthur states no freight
will be handled by brotherhood men going
to the belt lines or Virgins Ferry company
There are but 81 engineers and hremen in
the employ of the Virgins company and
a strike of them alone would not amount
to much but the belt line handles nearly
all the freight sent over eastern roads for
this city and a tie up of the
belt line would leave an amonnt
of freight consigned to St. Louis and
seriously affect the trade of this city.
Then, too, if the men on other roads re-
fused to haul cars consigned to the ferry
as Chief Arthur says they will, the
roads are very apt to attempt to force
them and if they do strike on big west.
ern roads would result. The strike will
probably be inaugurated tomorrow.
Later.
Messrs. Arthur and Sargent were seen
this evening. They stated that all efforts
looking toward peaceable settlement had
failed and therefore all engineers and fire.
men employed by the company would be
ordered out at noon tomorrow.
