New YORK. July 14-The Atlas line
steamer Athos, from port Limon, ar
rived here this afternoon. Late in June
the Athos touched at Hayti, and accord
ing to her officers it was learned that
Fred Douglass. United States minister
TO iiayti, had left his post at Port au
Prince because the Ifaytian govern
ment did not care to recognize n repre-.
sentative of the United States, and
that it was rather the desire of the
"Black republic" to break all inter-
course with this country. The Haytian
government, it was said, fears the
United States, and in order to avoid in
references of any kind from this
government would sacrifice official
intercourse with it There had been
no report of revolutions when the
Athos touched at IIayti, and no news
of that country was received on the
return trip, when she put into King
ston, Jamaica, except that Legitime
was still there. and that he was grow
ing In favor. The Haytians prefer him
to 1Tippolyte and only await his word

The Athos also brought news of the

The Illinois EntomoloGist Consulting with
Chancellor Snow of the University of
Kansas on the Subject.
LAWRENCE, kas., July 12.-PrOf. s.
A. Forbes, state entomologist of Illi-
nois, is in this city in consultation with
Chancellor Snow in regard to chinch-
bug experiments. In 1889 the corn and
wheat fields of Illinois were rid of the
chinchbug est by the dis ease which is
now being experimental on at the uni
versity of Kansas. 1t occurred sponta-
neously and nothing was known about
its artificial dissemination. Prof
Forbes studied this disease and found
out that it was n little fungus that
grew with incredible rapidity in the
bodies of the bugs, sending out delicate
branches which so permeate the bugs
that when they die they are network
of fine fibrcs. Prof. Forbes did not try
to spread the disease artificially until
recently. when he found that of the
two diseased bugs which he had
one was lost from the labo-
ratory, and the other would
not work. His mission to Kansas,
therefore, was to provide himself with
some of the reliable contagion. Yes
terday afternoon Chancellor Snow ex-
planned to Mr.. Forbes the workings of
the experiment station. The professor
expressed himself as delighted with the
results and said that the biggest COM
pliment that he could pay would be to
go home. rcvolutionize his methods and
report Chancellor Shows experiments.
Prof. Forbes is firm believer in the
theory that insect pests in future years
must be combated by parasite enemies
and that the work of the coming ento-
mologist should be directed to the dis
covery of these remedies and finding
out how to apply them

EUROPE'S HARVEST.

All Reports Point to a Deficiency In the
Cereal Crops of Europe which the
United states will be Called Upon to
SdppIy-The South American Nations
VIII Not be Able te Respond to the
Demand.
WASHINGTON, July ia report on
the harvest prospects in France and
Europe has been received at the state
department from Commercial Agent
Griffin of Limoges, France. The Ma
tional Millers' association of France,
the report says. has just issued an
estimate founded on very carefully-col-
lected data of the probable wheat har-
vest of France and Europe for 1891. In
order to meet the demand of France until
the harvest is gathered in 1892, it is
estimated that t2S. 900, 900 hectolitres
will be needed. The estimated yield Of
wheat for 1891. will be s2.17s.OOO
hectolitres. This is the maximum esti-
mate: it will be 81 per cent less than
the harvest of 1890.
Russia, Tunis, Egypt. Roumania and
some of the Danubian provinces will
have fair harvest; in Hungary it will
be below the average this year. The
estimates given by the millers, the re,
port says, are optimistic. The desire TO
create an impression that there is
a better supply than really exists,
is all done with purpose:
then want to buy grain as cheaply as
possible in those fortunate countries
that have of their abundance to export
In conclusion the report says. not only
France but all Europe Is looking long
ingly to the wheat fields of the United
States. Last year many hoped that
South America would help supply the
deficit, especially the Argentine Repub-
lie, but to-day no mention is made of

as recently stated, is that the bread of
