Prof. A. E. Blount has concluded
threshing his wheat at the agricultu-
raj college farm, and is well pleased
with the result in this line this sea-
son. The professor informs tho Re
publican that in field culture, where
SO pounds OF seed to the acre was
sown, an average Of 43 and 48 bush
els was obtained, and where 2l BUSH
els was sown an average of 81 bush
els was the result. Prof. Blount is
firm in the belief that the wheat
growers in this section use entirely
too much seed, and the result of his
experiments in this line seem fully
to support his belief. This wheat is
also very heavy, weighing fully GA
pounds to the bushel.-Las Cruces

JULY CROP REPORT.

The temperature and rainfall were
both about normal, but the rainfall
was not very evenly distributed
and some localities, of small extent
are suffering from drought.
Frequent showers made irrigation
almost unnecessary, but there was a
good supply of water for that purpose
when needed.
Small grains are mostly harvested
and threshing is now going on.
The yield is reported to be fully
up to the average in most localities.
Corn is doing very well, except in To-
calities having too great an altitude.
The partly cloudy weather, with fire.
quent light showers, that prevailed
during the month, proved especially
beneficial to fruit, and a good yield
of excellent quality is reported.
Early apples, peaches, pears, apri-
cots, plums and nectarines are now
ripe. The grass on the cattle ranges
has improved great deal during the
month, but they were, in most local
tiles, so dry before the rainy season
commenced, that they need a great
deal more rain to insure a fair growth
of feed for next winter.

Chairman Caldwell has notified
Passenger Traffic Manager White.
of the Atchison road, that he had de.
cided to accept f. G. Mcdonald as
an arbitrator in the appeal from his
ruling, rejecting E. A. Ford. He Of
fered his own choice of a disinterest-
ed party to act with Mcdonald in
this arbitration, w. b. Shattuc, gen
eral passenger agent of the Ohio &
Mississippi. Mr.. White, however,
takes the same ground as before, and
refuses to accept Mr. Shattuc or any
other arbitrator that may be named
by Chairman Caldwell because he
had failed TO name one within the
five days specified in the agreement.
Mr.. White holds that the five days
should date from the time the chair
man gives his decision, while Mr.
Caldwell contends that they should
date from the time the appeal is
made.

Dr.. Hirseh, of Berlin, Says America
Med Not Fear a Cholera
Visitation.
The Dreaded Disease Breaks Out
in Galacia and Near
Pressburg.
The Plague Advancing Upon Vienna
An Outbreak Reported
at Breslau.

BERLIN, July 31-Dr. Hirsch, a noted
authority, says II have thoroughly
studied America, and there is little danger
OF an outbreak of cholera there, provided
that thorough cleanliness is maintained
and sanitary precautions are adopted"
'One danger to America is in the Can
adian frontier. The greatest danger is
in the importation of rags. American
authorities should strictly prohibit the
importation of rags from any district
where cholera might be suspected of ex-
isting"
BERLIN, July 30.-Cholera today made
its appearance in two localitses in Ca
Iicia, and, worse still, nine cases are re-
ported only twenty-five miles from Press
burg, Hungary, which is populous cen
ter. The Austrian government has order
ed the governor of Galicla to adopt
the most stringent of measures
to prevent the spread of the disease,
as an outbreak there would involve the
spread of the epidemic throughout central
Europe.
The news from Galicia does not excite
great alarm here, but the Pressburg ad-
vices have given tie authorities a shock, on
account OF the proximity Of Vienna, and
the likelihood of the disease spreading
along the Danube makes the news serious.
Berlin physicians apprehend an early
outbreak in Silesia and southern Ger
many. The utmost precautions are being
taken. While making inquiries in
official quarters this evening regarding
the cholera in Austria, a representative af
the Associated Press learned 4hat tele-
grams had been received from BresIau
announcing an outbreak there. Physi-
clans cannot yet definitely pronounce
VIII. Their the disease from which patients
are suffering is cholerine or Asiatic cholera,
but suspect it is the latter.

Native Sarts at Ashekend, i'm Syr
Daria, Rise Against the
Government.
Deputy Governor Cruelty Murdered
"A Terrible State of Bloody
Strife Ensues.
Sixty Sarts and Fifteen Russian Sol.
diers Killed and Manly
Wounded.

ST, PETERSBURG, Aug. Letters here
from Ashekend, town of Asiatic Russia
In Syr Daria, report that news in regard
to serious riots in that place On July 6, in
connection with cholera epidemic, have
been suppressed by the government, and
the strictest censorship is being exercised.
From these letters it is learned that ma
tive Sarts, believing that doctors were
poisoning patients who were sutf ring
from cholera, became greatly excited aud
determined to put an end to the murder
Gus practices which they imagined were
being employed in cases ,
the unfortunates stricken with
the terrible disease. The widest
rumors are current of the cruelties inflicted
by medical men in causing Immediate
death to patients and these stories have
had the effect of arousing the fury of the
people to the highest pitch. The deputy
governor has been terribly maltreated, and
killed, and furious hand to hand conflict
with the army followed. Finally rein,
forcements queiled and dispersed the
mob.
The Sarts, however, again reassembled
and took to ambush N the mosques and
buildings, from which they were extri
catod after terrible scere of carnage.
The character Of the struggle may be
imagined when it is known that sixty
Sarts were killed and hundreds OF them
wounded.
The soldiers, too, suffered heavily, the
Russian loss being fifteen killed and many
wounded.
Many arrests have been made of persons
concerned in the dis riders
1t is feared that there may be a renewa
of the troubles and precautions are helns
taken accordingly.

New Prosecutions Are Growing Out OF the
Homestead Trouble

PITTsBURa, Pa, Aug. 1.-Those who
participated in the disgrace at Home
stead after the surrender of the Pink
ertons on July will be prosecuted for
aggravated assault and battery, high
way robbery, larceny, pocket-picklng
and other crimes and misdemeanors.
The work of securing the necessary
evidence to convict those engaged in
the assaults on the Pinkertons and tho
robbery of the surrendered men has
been going on for some time and it is
now 50 far advanced that informations
will be made in few days and the per
sons arrested. Among them are several
women who were particularly active
and aggressive during the time
the men ran the gauntlet and after in
taking the property of the men and
hiding it. Assault and battery and re-
ceiving stolen goods will be the charges
against these women.
This assault on the men was gener-
ally condemned by the leaders of the
strikers, and especially by the Amalga-
mated association, and they have aided
in securing evidence against the per-
SONS engaged in the assault and there
Is no sympathy for them either in the
Amalgamated association or out of it,
and at the time of the assault these
towards were reprimanded by those
who were trying to secure a safe exit
for the Pinkertons.
The Pinkerton agency will take part
In these prosecutions and has lot OF
their men who were assaulted and from
whom property was stolen.
The attorney for the prosecution is
preparing informations In these cases
and as soon as they are completed the
warrants will be issued.
The Carnegie officials look for a
break in the ranks of the strikers in a
few days and by the end of the week
expect to be running full. About one
hundred deputies are on duty in and
about the mills and this number will
be increased to 300 very shortly.
Superintendent Potter says they are
all armed with clubs and rifles and
enough guns are now IN the mill to
arm every man in the employ of the
firm. Every precaution will be taken
to protect the employees and if neces-
sary force will meet force. The Thirty
third or upper Union mills In this city
started up non-union at 4 o'clock this
morning. The plate mill is running
and other departments appear to be in
operation. A guard OF police is about
the property and no trouble has 90

The Supreme Court of Michigan Knocks
Out Bold Gerrymander.


Out Bold Gerrymander.
LANSING, Mich, July 28.-The SUI
| preme court has handed down an opinion
| declaring unconstitutional the two legis-
lative bills reapportioning the represen-
tative districts and the senatorial dis
tricts in the state Legislature. The man
damus asked for is granted in each case,
and the secretary is ordered to issue
notices of election in accordance with the
act of 1881, the act of 1885 being held to
be eqnally defective with that of 1891 :.
The opinion follows the lines of the cele-
brated decision in the Wisconsin gerry
mander. The court is unanimous in its
opinion.
It is likely the democrats will take take
their medicine and 60 into the election
under the law of 1881, Removed from
its covering Of verbiage the decision
really based upon only one point that of
an unfair apportionment. The democrats
in the legislature of 1891 divided the
state into senatorial and Legislative dis
triets which would given them almost a
sure thing on the legislature, no matter
what might be the issue. The ratio of
population cuts small figure in it, and on
this the court declared the law unconstitu-
tional. Democratic counties which had
but trihe over the requisite population
for one district were divided into two,
and republican counties which had more
than enough for district were made only
fractional part of one.
LATER.-The governor has decided to
call an extra session of the legislature to
make new apportionment.
