DR.. Darling is a deputy coroner under Cor

in the prosecution of his duties, to let as

THE COUNTRY'O CROPS.
August Returns to the De-
partmemt of agriculture.
Much Will Depend on the
Weather of This Month.

The August returns to the statistician of
the Department of Agriculture make the con-
dition of corn COS; spring wheat, 95.5; spring
rye, s9.6; oats, S9.5; barley, 93.S; buckwheat,
97.3: potatoes, &c.; tobacco, SIS; hay, 80 9.
Corn has fallen off two points during the
month. the decline being almost entirely in
the States of the Ohio Valley and
the Northwest. The decline was due to
dry weather, approaching drought in por
lions Of Indiana and Illinois, and low tenn
perature in all sections of the corn surplus
districts. In the surplus States the averages
are: Ohio, 90; Indiana. So; Illinois, 50;
Iowa, 90; Missouri, 81; Kansas, IS; Nebras-
ka, SO. It should be noted that only one OF
the surplus States returns an average higher
than the average for the country.
The wheat returns elate to spring wheat
only the average for the whole breadth ad-
vancing somewhat during the month. The
improvement is general except in Washing
ton. where hot winds injured the prospect Ill
some districts. The State returns outside of
this State and Wisconsin closely approach
the standard for comparison. The principal
States are: Wisconsin, 20; Minnesota, 50;
Iowa, 95; Nebraska, 81; North Dakota, 80;
South Dakota, 9S; Washington, 80.
Oats have improved two points during tie
month and the figures of condition indicate
a medium yield per acre. Averages in States
of larger production are: New York, ~;
Pennsylvania, 81; Ohio, 50; Michigan. 80;
Illinois, Sc; Wisconsin, SO; Minnesota, "a;
Iowa, IS; Kansas, 80; Nebraska, 90.
Barley shows Improvement and promises
large crop in most of the districts of heavy
production. California returns condition at
100, or practically perfect. In New York
and Wisconsin, however, the prospect is less
favorable.
The first return for buckwheat is the
highest for eight years past, with slight in
crease in acreage.
The condition of potatoes is returned re-
markably high, scoring a gain of point
over last month. Iii fifteen years previous
to the present season August shows con-
dition higher than July once only. Should
the present prospect be continued, the crop
will be one of unusual proportions.
The returns make the condition of cotton
$50 for the whole breadth, practically the
same as last month. The improvement
during the month has been confined to Sec
tions of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, and Arkansas. In other portions
of the cotton belt there has been a decline in
condition. The fact that the crop is decided
ly late over almost the entire breadth makes
the season during August of vital impor-
lance.

BLUNT PRINCE GEORGE,
In Disgrace Because He Did Not Flat
ter the Czarevitch

The letter which recently appeared in the
BerangsIce Iiderde OF &C .,enhagen, in which
Prince George of Greece gave a de-
tailed account of the attack upon the
Czarevitch at Otsu, near Kioto, Japan, by a
japanese policeman, has greatly altered the
estimates which were at first formed at st.
Petersburg of the Princes action upon that
occasion, and has been the means of placing
him in terrible disgrace in that city.
The reason for the altered feeling enter
tanned for the Prince is the fact that he
caused to be published his own account of
the attack upon the Czarevitch without pre-
viously submitting the manuscript for revis-
ion. 1t is considered here that the
story as told by Prince George en-
phasiZes certain rumors that the Gar
evitch did not exhibit much bravery when
he was attacked. Particular offense is taken
at the statement in the Princes published
letter that after the Czarevitch had been
struck, and while he was endeavoring to
make his escape'from his assailant he tum-
bled to the ground through sheer fright.

RUSSIA'S GRAIN FAMINE.
Restriction and Possible Prohibit
ton of the Export of Corn.

The grave situation created by the failure
of the crops in Russia is causing the greatest
apprehension in all circles. A St. Peters a,
burg paper declares that the local admins
trations will be unable to make provision for
the inhabitants Of the distressed provinces by
drawing upon the surplus of other provinces
if spectators are allowed to export corn or if
the artificial rise in the price Of corn is not
checked. The paper demands that the Gov
eminent immediately place heavy export
duty on rye. The Financial Messenger de-
clares that it will be almost impossible for
Russia to export corn this year.
1t is officially announced that the Govern
ment has not as yet contemplated issuing a
decree totally prohibiting the export Of
grain from Russia. but the partial failure
of the crops demands that provision be made
for the people living in the distressed prov
inces, and consequently the export of grain
from those provinces will be restricted by
the authorities.
