The statistics of agriculture show
that the value OF the wheat crop in
Wisconsin has fallen of 81, 600, 900, al
though the quantity has increased
205, 900 bushels. In Ohio for the same
period the value Of crops fell of over
$l2, 700, 900 with large increase in
the quantity; in Missouri over $751;
600, 900; in Minnesota over $4,000, 900;
in Michigan $4,000 900: in Illinois
81, 200, 900; in Iowa III, 900, 900, though
in all these states the number of
bushels have been largely increased.
From 1880 to 1870 the value Of the
wheat crop OF the country has fallen
of $l32 900 900 and Of corn $72 ,OOO, 600
although the quantity grown Of each

The cry OF overproduction will not
answer because there are millions OF

Reply to Request for Cooperation in the
Erection of Monument
TORONTO (Ont.), July 18.-In response to
the request for cooperation in New York
for the promotion of plan for the erection
of a monument in Canada 10 Sir John Mac
donald, Erastus Wiman has written to
friend in Toronto in the folio wing terms:
There is no monument needed to perpet-
nate the memory of Sir John so long as the
great barrier exists which his national pol
Icy created between the English-speakng
people Of the continent, for so long will he
be remembered by the people of both eoun-
tries. So far as trade and commerce are
concerned, the existence of osperity in
Canada, occupying 0ne-half the continent,
Is more dependent upon free access to the
other half than upon all other crcuul-
stances combined yet the chief result of
the policy of the departed statesman has
been the creation of wall over which many
of the commOnest necessities OF life can
only be exchanged by paying a tribute to
either Government, often beyond the cost
Of production. Sixty millions of dollars
expended in Canadian canals, with less than
sixty craft TO navigate them, and depending
upon United States tonnage for main
tensnce. even In the face of discrimination
against American craft, is an Indication of
the policy pursued. Even the greatest
achievement during Sir Johns life, the
Canadian Pacific Railway. while 1t Is the
most comprehensive transportation agency

for its axle grease unless 1t had free access

Tedious and Arduous Journey to the To,
OF Mexico's Mountain,

Tedious and Arduous Journey to the Top
OF Mexico's Mountain.
c. II. Webb has just returned from a four
months outing in the wilds of Mexico and
the Central American States. He visited the
city of the Montezumas ana pointed for the
lofty peak above.
1.-The train drops one at the station OF Po
pocatapetl," said he 10 a reporter, ''where
you get guide and burros, blankets and
provisions. Then you trail to the base of tine
volcano aud up its steep zigzags, where the
timber and vegetation are thick, and cool.
bubbling springs numerous, until tbs timber
line is passed. You travel miles to advance
one. When We reached that line the snow
came down to meet the stunted trees. Then
we camped and the guide shot mountain
goat and we heard the Mexican lions in the
dark. Next morning the burros were left
behind, and with blankets and provisions
we packed on. A binding snow-stOrm
obliged another camp. and the next morning
We pointed for the great crater.
AT midday the yawnIng bowl was
reached. 1t is probably 250 feet across and
800 feet deep. with a bottom pierced with
tunnels like gigantic sponge. Outside all
was snow and ice. Ten steps inside and all
frost vanishes; the thermometer leaps
seventy degrees. At the ragged lips OF this
chimney Of hell the guide Is on his knees
implorng the protection of Santa Maria.
Across the crater and 500 feet above
rises the lone spur. 1t is covered with
snow and Ice. 1t took us an hour and
half to make the perilous ascent. but we
made the trip and stood on the highest spur.
"Then for the descent which we found
more hazardous than the ascent. Darkness
and a fearful snow-storm caught us 1900 feet
below. We had 10 camp In the snow, but
the next morning made quick trip to the
timber line. where we found our burros and
soon reached the base, where we could look
back and see that icy peak reaching into q
naked sky."-F0rt Worth Gazette.

Lord Salisbury'S Interview With

teTeStS in tha East SeGur ID by the
Triple Alliance.
Copyrighted, 1891. by the New York Associated
Press

BERLIN. July 1s.-Lord Salisbury's adhe-
sion to the Triple Alliance appears to have
been made with due regard to the protection
of English interests in Egypt and India.
Only partial indication Of the drift Of the
entente concluded at Hatfield House has
transpired. But enough is known to
suggest that Lord Salisbury OBJ
tanned assurances from the Emperor
that the Franco Russian projects against
England's possessions in tho East will be
met with open German support of England.
The entente is thus established all round, the
arrangements aiming at the Asiatic as we'll
as European equilibrium. Diplomatic opin-
ion here coDcurs that Lord Salisbury got tile
best of the bargain, securing a positive
check upon the French scheme against
Egyptian occupancy and Russian encroach-
ments in India. without committing England
to armed intervention in support Of Ger
many.

The Car, after the reception of the French
squadron at Cronstadt, will sail for Copeu-
hagen, escorted by the united Russian and
French warships.
The latest rumor regarding attempts upon
the life of the Gar was that an officer tried
TO murder the Gar with an ak. The report
arose from the fact that the Gar was anus
ing himself in the forest chop ping trees,
when the head of the ak Il w off and struck
an attendant in the face and wounded him.
The Gar went to the assistance of the
wounded man and got some blood on his
hands and,clothes. The officer of the guard
approached them and thought the Car was
IN danger. He called upon soma soldiers to
rescue his Majesty, and, before an explana-
ton could be made. the wounded attendant
was cut down by several of the Over-zealous
soldiery. The Gar caused the officer to be
punished.
