Southern Men in the army.

Some Of the best of the younger army
officers are southern men. Since the war
good many of the graduates from West
Point have been from the south, ard very
many of them are showing that they possess
the qualities Of true soldier.
In the battle with the Indians at Wounded
Knee creek Capt. George D. Wallace, who
was killed, and Lieut.. Darlington, who was
severely wounded, were from South Caro-
lima. Capt. Wallace, who was buried
at his native place, Yorkvllle, S.
c., on Wednesday, an account of
whose funeral was published in
our dispatches yesterday, graduated from
West Point in 1878, and was assigned to a
position in the Seventh cavalry regiment.
He had a great and varied experience on
the plains. He was a member of Reno's
command in the hattie al Little Big Horn, in
which Gen. Gu ter lost his life. He was a
brave and accomplished officer, and bad he
lived there is every reason for believing that
he would have reached very high posi-
ton.
Lieut. Darlington will recover from his
wound, doubtless. He is spoken Of in COM
plimentary terms by his superior officers.
There are good reasons why southern
men succeed in the army. The military
spirit is more noticeable in the south than in
the north and more interest is taken in mill
tary matters. Almost every southern town
of impc rtance has its military company and
the people willingly contribute to its sup
port. If this country should become in
volved in a war with foreign power the
soldiers of southern birth would play very
conspicuous part in it.

WORLDS FOOD SUPPLY
Of Great Importance to Europe and
the United States.
SHORTAGE IN BREADSTUFFS
Grutsr Than H.s Been Dreamed 0t-Nci Halt Has
BtsnIOld-Rpssla's Declared Rspcrs-Ras:vss
Everywhere fxhsusted-whsai and Rye
Crops Two Hundred Million
Bushels Short

New York, September 20.-An ex-
haustive study of the worlds food sup
ply in the forthcoming number OF the
AmerIcdn Asricultu,ist emphasizes facts
OF grave Importance 10 both America
and Europe. II declares that the half
has not been told about the European
shortage In breadstuffs which not even
a bountiful crop this year would have
relieved. Continental powers, es-
pecially Russia, suppress the facts so far
as possible. In many Russian provinces
the scarcity Of food became pronounced
as far back as February last.
The prohibition OF tho rye exports Is
followed by ukase forbldding tho
shipment OF bran and other cereal cat
tie foods. The astounding shortage In
Russa's yield OF rye, announced =
month since by the ministry or finance,
proves even greater than tho most ex-
travagant estimates, and effectually OBJ
literates all possibility Of Russia export
ing any Of her scant wheat crop.
The European reserves that have
hitherto eked out insufficient haryests
are everywhere exhausted. The parade
made by Russia OF the existence OF such
stores in the Baltic provinces Is done
for effect, to convey the impression that
military stores are abundant.
Accepting the largest estimates OF
production both at home and abroad,
and, even assuming that Canada exports
225, 900 bushels, there is defcit In the
worlds food supply OF at least 2oo,ooo,-
600 bushels OF wheat and rye, with
possibility OF the shortage being twice
as great. Acded 10 this is the
almost total failure OF the potato crop
In Ireland. and q serious curtallmcnt IN
tho yield OF potatoes on the continent.
Enormous exports OF wheat and -four
from the United States In August proves
that Europe regards the situation as
worse than 1t has yetbeen painted.

Good weather for Corn In rhe West-Laci'
of Rala In some Portions.

WAsHINGToS, ID. c., September 90
The followingis the weather crop bull
letin issued ty the Department of Agri-
culture.
Toniuerature.-It has been a warm
week east OF sne Rocky Mountains, the
greatest exc In temperature occur
ring over tha central valleys, where
warm, dry Gather was most needed
for the rlp ming OF corn. Over the
greater port n Of the corn region
the daily cxC IS in temperature ranged
from to IL oagrees and this high tenn
perature, at. .nded as It was by al
most continu, lsly clear weather, must
have forced the rlpening OF corn,
which has seen retarded in growth
during the previous weeks OF cool
weather. In the cotton region the
temperature was slightly in excess, and
in California the week was slightly
cooler than usual.
Rain fall-There was o general def
cheney In rain fall over the whole coun-
try east OF the Rocky Mountains, with
the exeeptloa Of : few limited localities
where local showers gave more than the
normal ram Iall.
In Pennsylvania the weather was ex-
tremeIy favorable for ripening corn and
tobacco. The bulk OF the corn crop Is
safe from frost and cutting has COM
menced. The bulk OF the tobacco crop
has been cut and under the most favor
able circumstances.
In Virginia conditions were excellent
for growing crops, though the weather
was rather too warm the past few days
for the tobacco already out.
In Ohio the hot dry weather is matur-
ing corn rapidly and another week will
see all corn matured.
Corn and tobacco cutting is In prog
ress In the middle and southern portions
OF the State. The lack OF rain has been
injurious to pastures and delays plowing
and wheat seeding.

In His Attempt to Carry Out the Compact
with Republicans.

PHILADELPHIA, September 20.-The
compact entered into between the
Knights of Labor leaders and the Re-
publican leaders failed of ratification at
q meeting of the delegates to the Leg
islative Convention Of the order. The
fight of the day was over the adoption
of the majority or minority report OF
the Legislative Com nittee, in which
the followers OF P. r Caffrey, the sign
er Of the minority report, came off vic
torious. Throughout the whole Of the
proceedings the leaders of the order
were most emphaticaly sat upon, being
frustrated in every p int they tried to
make.
General Master Workman Powderly
made a desperate effort to have himself
indorsed to the propo I'D Constitutional
Convention, but this me convention re-
fused to do. Powderly and his adherentS
also endeavored to force through areso-
luton authorizing the employment of
speakers by the Knights of Labor to

terests of Gregg AID Morrison, the Re-
publican candidates for State Treasurer

Astonish the Good People OF buffalo By
Their strength OF Numbers.

BUFFALO, N. Y, September 20-An
astonishing revelation OF German soil
darity and strength OF numbers was
furnished here to-day. Apparently IL
was arranged as fitting forerunnerof,
the great congress OF Gorman-Amerfcan
Catholics which begin prsceadinra
tomorrow. The announcement had
been made locally that new Catholic
Church was to be dedicated, but little
or nothing appeared beforehand 90 indi-
cate an affair OF magnitude or magnih-
cence. The edlfce TO be dedicated was
the distinctively German-American
parish church of the Seven DceIors. rs
a huge stone structure. Almost from the
corner Of Main street the long route 20
the pew church was filed nearly ex-
clusIvely with faces OF unmistakable
Teutonic aspect. For a straight mile
and half the street was gayly draped
with flags and luttering stream
ers. The ceremonies al tho
church were very impressive and
conducted by Father Van Rossuk, ono
OF the faculty in the great German
American Canlcus. Much curiosity Is
expressed as 10 the number OF German
American bishops who will attend the
meeting OF the German union, and thus
supposedly ayow themselves In opposi-
tion To their fellow-prelates.

A Soldier Thought to be Dead Returns

A Soldier Thought to be Dead Returns
Home In Demented state
WASHINGTON, September 2O.-One Of
the most remarkable cases that has ever
been brought to the attention of the
bureau of pensions is that of VIM.
Newby, private of Company D, Fourth
regiment Illinois volunteers. His regi-
ment was commanded by Col. Stephen G.
Hicks, Of Illinois, and was conspicuous
for its gallantry at the battle of Shiloh.
Newby was in this battle on the 9th OF
April, 1862, and was reported skilled
in action" 1t seems, however, that
instead of being killed he received
a severe wound of the head, and was
captured and sent to the rear by the
Confederate forces, aud was imprisoned
at Belle Isle, and was afterwards trans
ferred 70 AnderSonville. 10 seems that
he was released In course of time and
was in poor houses In various parts Of
the South. During these years he was
ia a demented state bordering upon
insanity.
In wandering about he finally went
over into White county, Illinois, and
when he got near his old home he was
seen and recognized by two of his COM
radeS who had served in the regiment
with him. His wife was sent for, and
she identified him as did his relatives
and many Of his friends and comrades.
After Newby was reported as 'killed
in action" his wife applied for a PEN
sion. II was granted, and she has been
drawing a widows pension from the
date of his death 20 the present time.
This soldier has filed claim for pen
sion, and it is now receiving the con-
Sideration of the Office, the claim Of the
widow being suspended in the mean
time. No discharge has ever been
granted to the soldier and the consider
alton OF his pension claim is being post
poned until such time as the Secretary
of War shall grant the man a discharge.
This soldier has been separated from
his family for period Of 20 years, they
believing all the while that he was
dead, and he now reappears a dis
tressed, demented old man.
The pension will no doubt soon be
granted and he will have sufficient
sum TO smooth his way to the end OF
his life

tary, as his father diea OF consumption Of

The illness which terminated in his
