Suffering,

ST. rAUL, Jan. I-GovernOr Merriam
has received a cablegram from Charles
Emery Smith, minister to Russia, which
spread suffering in Russia which ought
to be relieved. The interview with
Colonel d'Arnaud, which was sent out
from Washington Dec. 20, in which that
gentleman stated that the Russian peas
ants are not in need of help. seriously
checked the Russian relief movement.
The colonel's remarks have been contra
dicted by Minister Gregar, the Russian
charge ~d'affaires, and now our minister
to Russia sends information which is SO
definite that it should set at rest the
rumor which have been current to the
effect that relief, was not needed.
On Dec. 2S, Governor Merriam, wish
ing to find out the exact condition of
affairs in Russia, sent a cablegram to
Charles Emery Smith, minister plenipo-
Tertiary and envoy extraordinary at St.
Petersburg, Russia, asking for definite
information as to the status of the peo-
pie, and whether aid was needed and
acceptable.
In reply the following cablegram was
received:
ST. PETERSBURG, 1S92.-Merriam, Gov
ernor, st. Paul: Distress in Russia from
short crops is widespread and severe. Diff
ficult to overdraw eNteut of suffering.
Many provinces are destitute and must be
helped until next harvest. Am able to say
that proposed contributions of Minnesota

will be accepted with most grateful appre-
citation. CHARLES EMERY SMITH.

publicans on the same basis in organic
ing the senate. Lieutenant-Governor
Poyner and Chairman Mack of the re.
publican committee were in town two
weeks ago to consider the matter, but
found that many republican senators
were ~unfavorable to it, and Senator j. B.
Harsh came out iat-footed against any
Advancement which would place Robb at
the secretary's desk, SO Engle was forced
to go back to the democrats, but he made
them pay the price.

port, followed by a rumbling, as if of
rolling thunder.
The men at the top of the shaft at
one sounded the alarm and made prep

CEREAL STATISTICS.
Our Wheat Crop of 81 the Largest Ever
Grown in Any Country.

Our Wheat Crop of '91 the Largest Ever
Grown in Any Country.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The estimates
by states and territories of area of pro-
duct and value of principal cereals of
the United States for 1891 made by the
statistician of the department of agri-
culture are given to the press. The
crops of wheat, corn and oats, including
all but two or three per cent. of the CO.
real aggregate are reported. The total
for corn has only been exceeded once.
The wheat product is the largest ever
grown in any country and the yield per
acre in the United States the largest
ever reported by the department. of
agriculture. The total for oats was
slightly exceeded in 1889. The aggre-
gates are as follows:
Corn-Area, 49, 05, SIS acres; pro-
duct, 1850, 154, 900 bushels; value, $780,
439, 222S.
Wheat-Area, 39,916,s97 acres; pro-
duct, Gil, ESQ, 1000 bushels; value, $5l3,-
472,711.
~Oats-Area, %, 581 1851 acres; product,
73S, 1914, 600 bushels; value, $232, 3l2, 267.
The aggregate of all cereals is the
largest yet produced and will supply 81
to So bushels per unit of population.
The wheat supply is the largest ever re-
ported in proportion to population,
averaging 9.4 to each person, against
90 for the largest previous crop, in 1854.
The average value to the farmer is 400
cents for corn, So. 93 cents for wheat
and 81 AS cents for oats. The value of
wheat is greater than in any year since
1883, that of the short crop of 1888 alone
excepted. The products are of course
in measured bushels.

DETAILS SLOW,

Little Yet Learned of the Krebbs Dis
aster-Ten Corpses Removed.
SOUTH MCALESTER. 1. r.. Jan. o.
News of the mine disaster in the Usage
mine at Krebbs, thirty-fve miles east of
here, is coming in very slowly. It is
learned that at the time of the explosion
nearly $50 men were in the shaft. Most
of them had stopped work for the day
and were waiting their turn to ride out
in the cages. They had c~ongregated
near the bottom of the shaft, and that
locality is completely damned with dead
bodies. It is stated that eighty-tive men
succeeded in reaching the open air by
means of an abandoned tunnel. About
forty miners were rescued by lowering
of buckets at the hands of the rescuing
party outside the shaft. At daylight
ten dead bodies were carried to the sur
face. They were so badly bruised and
blackened as to be scarcely recognizable.
The mouth of the pit is surrounded
by a crowd of men. women and chill
dren, nearly all of whom have relatives
m the mine. Their grief is pitiable and
their prayers and cries are agonizing as
they beseach the rescuing party to in
crease their efforts to ave their loved
ones. OF the eighty-five men who
reached safety by means of the old tun-
mel, over half of them received injuries
more or less serious. many Of them be-
ing badly bruised, ana some of them
will not recover. It is believed that the
explosion was caused by firing a shot
when the mine was partially filled with
gas.
At the present writing 223 miners are
u~naccounted for. Of this nu:nbrr it is
believed that nearly one hundred, and
perhaps more are already dead. Little
can be learned owing to the great ex-
element at the scene Of the disaster and
the distance from any telegraph Office.
Many Rescued.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. g.--Mr. ". Farnham,
vice president of the Usage Mining COM
paEE, in whose mine at Krebs, I. T.,
the explosion occurred, has Just re-
ceived a telegram from the superintend-
emit Of the mine. The dispatch was
dated 8 o'clock a. H., and says at that
hour l43 miners had been rescued.
The men were greatly exhausted and
some OF them Were unconscious. but re-
vived after reaching the air. The tele-
gram did not state how many men were
killed nor how many were still en-
tombed in the mine. Mr.. Farnham
says the miners we've all white men and
many had large families. Everything
possible will be done to relieve the dis
tress of their afflicted families.

The War Cloud Passes Over.

WASHINGTON. y. c., Jan. S.-The APP
pearance of Minister Pedro Montt upon
the floor of the house of representatives
this oon gave unmistakable evidence
that Chile had come off her high horse
and was disposed to assume a more
courteous and apologetic attitude. The
minister appeared soon after unofficial
advices had been received that the Chile
an authorities had cabled Minister Mont
to make ample apology for the Baltimore
outrage, and it appeared to confirm these
unofficial advices. Whether he was act
ing on orders OF not, Senior Mont was in
the most courteous and conciliatory
mood. He was piloted about and intro
duced by Governor McCreary of Ken
lucky, who is a member of the house
committee on foreign relations, and the
only member of the house invited to the
recent dinner given by the Chilean min
lister.
Senior Montt made a most favorable inn
preston by his easy tanners and his con-
slant emphatic assurances that a peace
full settlement of the Chilean troubles
would certainly ensue. With all the
vehemence of a Spaniard he shook his
head at the possibility of war, shrugged
his shoulders over the lightness of some
of the points of contention and brought
his hands together to emphasize his be-
lief that Chile would do everything that
was fair and honorable.
MONT EXPECTED A MESSAGE.
There was a disposition among men,
bers to meet Minister Mont in the
same spirit he showed. In fact it was
considerable of love feast, in which
the representative of Chile and the
United States representatives mingled,
chatted and exchanged expressions of
cordially in a way which was anything
but belligerent. 1t is said THAT Senior
Montt anticipated a special message
from the president and he wished to be
on hand to hear it IN person. The mes
sage did moi come to-day however, and

Are They M arried?

CREsToN, La, Jan. 9.-There is a huge
sensation in church, educational and
society circles over the contents of a
petition just filed in court. Professor
G. B. Stayl is the plaintiff. The defend
ant is Miss May Hixon, or Madam c. B.
Stayl, as the court may determine.
Professor Staylis known all over South
ern Iowa as an educator of conspicuous
ability. He wal for many years princi-
pal of the Alton public schools and
elected two terms superintendent of
schools Of Union county, his last term
having just expired. He is now
principal of the F%ontanelle pub
lie schools. Professor Stayl had
been a widower for several years
until the fatal leap year of 1888.
During that year the professor received
a proposal of marriage from Miss Hixon
and in 1890 he agreed with mademoiselle
to be her lawful husband, secretly,
without paying the clerk for the license,
or a preacher a marriage fee. Nearly
two years of uninterrupted matrimonial
bliss was consumed when the bride
sickened of the bargain and left the
venerable spouse. Being a man of prop
erty and having two nice daughters the
old gentleman has now brought this
suit to determine his legal status in the
matrimonial realm. Both parties are
prominent members of the Methodist
church, and prominent in social and
educational circles. They have kept
their secret SO we'll that their most init
mate friends failed to suspect any other
relation than that of acquaintances.
