to Mecca.
OF the 5000 pilgrims that left Tunis and
other ports in May last for Mecca, only half
have returned, the others having fallen vic
tins to cholera. Fully $4,000 friends and
relatives met the. returning pilgrims on their
release from quarantine, and there were
many heartrending demonstrations of grief
by the relatives OF those who had succumbed
to the disease.
The survivors tell terrible tales Of suffer-
ing. On June "a, 100,0 900 pilgrims were
gathered on the Sacred Mount to hear SOL
emn address prior to their proceeding for
Mecca. Many Of the multitude were starv-
ing. The Mount resembled battlefield,
OF the pestilence, among whom were
lying hundreds ST poor wretches
who were dying from the. dread
disease. So frightful was the condition OF
affairs that no one dared to approach the
place. Finally battalion Of 700 Turkish
soldies was sent to bury the dead and rescue
the living. Five hundred Of these soldiers
lost their lives as result of their devotion
to duty. OF the whole battalion only 200
men escaped the pestilence.
The ravagcs Of cholera in Russia are in
crossing. There were eighty-one fresh
cases and thirty-one deaths on September 8,
Q and 10. Between the 4th and 9Th there
were seventy-hve fresh cases and thirty-fye
deaths In Moscow. In the Province OF
Podolia there were 1922 fresh cases and 65S
deaths between August 20 and September 2.
There were twenty-five fresh cases OF
cholera and fifteen deaths In Galicia on Sep
tember 9, 10 and II. On the same days there
were forty seven fresh cases and forty-three
deaths in Hungary.
The Portuguese authorities have declared
New York to be cholera-infected port. The
disease'is abating in all the infected districts

Report Of the Department Of Agri-

The September report OF the Statisticlan OF
the Department of Agriculture shows de-
cline In the condition of corn to 1877 from 81
in the month OF August, and 93.2 in July,
being decline OF a little over ten points from
the August and over sixteen from the July
| report. The change Is marked In nearly all
| OF the surplus corn States. In comparison
| with the September reports OF the past ten
| years only three were lower-70.1 In 1890,
| 1913 In 1887 and 1876 in 1886. In the same
| nearly three points higher than the present
| month. There has been general decline in
the condition throughout the country, which
has been caused by the widely-prevailing
drouth.

both winter and spring varieties, when har-

when it was ~. In Illinois, Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska the yield is small and of an
inferior quality, much Of it grading at No. 8
and under, and in some places it is reported
to be worthless. In the Dakotas the yield is
light, while the quality is generally good.
In Iowa and Wisconsin the winter variety
yielded we'll, and was OF good quality. while
the spring variety yield was poor and Of in
ferior quality. In Minnesota the yield has
been poor and not up to expectations, the
quality generally good, with some complaint
OF shrivelled grain. In California and Ore
gon the quality Of the grain is good up to an
average, and the yield has been good, except
on low lands, where it was greatly damaged.
There has been o further decline in the
condition of oats during the past month, the
general average standing at 749, against
1873 in August. In September, 1892, 1t was
1873. The condition OF rye Is 80. Drouth
during the spring and early summer injured
the crop. Barley shows slight falling of
since last month, the general average being
1873, against 64.6 in August. The returns OF
condition Of tobacco on September are less
favorable than those for August 1, standing
at 1913. The general cause Of the low con-
dition is the long-continued drouth.

decline from the August condition of the
crop OF full points, being 1874 this month,

ITALY'S FINE DISPLAY.
THE ITALIAN SECTION OF
THE WORLDS FAIR.
"A Mass of Wonderful Artistic Treas
ures Piled Up in Her Section at
Manufactures Building and a
Creditablc Showing Made In Other
Departments.

From the day it was formally opened to
The public until the present day Italy's Sec
tion OF the Worlds Fair in Manufactures
Bulding-where she makes her principal ex-
hibit-has been crowded almost to suffoca-
tion. It had been expected, OF course. says
the Chicago Herald, that the land which was
the cradle and the birthplace of modern art
would send US a goodly assortment OF the
products of her genius and skill. But no.
body in this country WAS prepared for such
large, such splendid and such varied
array Of Italian treasures of modern decora-
tive art as she has actually sent. 1t is not
too much to say that this fact has been duly,
almost instantaneously, recognized by the
great public, and thethousands otintelligent
visitors that daily throng the Italian section
are living proof of this. In all those lines
of human industry where natural taste,
artistic inspiration, and touch that Is delt
and delicate are required Italy shows herselt
the peer If not the superior of all the other
Nations represented at the great Fair.
There is Just one drawback to the Italian
display at the Fair, and that is one for which
Italy is not accountable. 1t is the insuftici-
encv of the space accorded her in the various
bulldings-most OF all in Manufactures Hall.
Instead of barely 100, 900 square feet. Italy
ought to have at the very least 100000 In
order to show her exhibits as they deserve to
be shown. As it is her wonderful artistic
products are crowded into 80 Insignificant
space, and so entirely devoid of that outward
setting, have such a poor background, and
are wedged in so tightly that the effect Is
more than half lost. In Manufactures Build
ing. where, of course, the main exhibit is
made, the Italian exhibit is almost entirely
in the dark. Light filters through 80 spar
ingly that in places one can hardly dls-
tnsuish the colors and outlines OF the OBJ
jects on view.
This regretable state Of things is, Of ofcourse,
easily explained. Italy came too late-with-
out her fault, however. 1t so happened that
a misunderstanding between the two coun-
tries (arising out of the well-remembered
New Orleans incident) had not yet been ad-
jnsted, and that diplomatic relations between
italy and the United States had not even
been resumed when the bulk OF the prepara-
tory and missionary work was being done by
the management Of the Fair In other leading
countries of Europe.
When the time had finally arrived for Italy
to officially proclaim her intention OF par
ticpating in the great show, i. e., after the
