The Methodist Mission.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 9.-The seventy
fifth annual session of the general mis-
sionary committee of the methodist
episcopal church convened in this city
today, Bishop Bowman of st. Louis
presiding at the opening. The report
of the treasurer showed total receipts
of the society last year were l,251,372,
a decrease from previous year Of $780, 1854.
The report also showed that the total
debt of the treasury Oct. 81, 1898, was
S1SS.206. This statement was rather
chilling.
Bishop Fitzgerald of New Orleans
asked to have the missionary appropria-
ton placed at 81, 27s. $50. and said money
needed for all purposes would be forth
coming If the brethren would but have
a little confidence. The ensuing debate
led up to a discussion of the financial
panic, and several of the bishops gave

by that body to make a years tour of

rose to a question of personal privilege

remain at home. A trip of this charac
ter is one of the few rich pickings that
fell once in a lifetime to those high up
in the mission movement. He went on
to say that while the board itself had
made no suggestion in the matter, he
had come to the conclusion that, in view
of the financial stringency and the de-
pletion of the conference treasury, it
would be neither wise. prudent or right
to incur the expense that his trip would
involve. which. in addition TO this, he

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The No
vember returns TO the department of
agriculture of the rates of yield per acre
make the average for corn 22.6 bushels.
which is the smallest yield reported,
excepting those of 1886, 1887 and 1890,
for the past ten years. The yields for
those years were respectively-22, 20.10
and 20.7 bushels. 1t is less than the av-
erage for the ten years-1s7O to 1sT9-by
As bushels; less than the average for
the succeeding decade, 1880 to 1889, by
One-half bushels, and less than the av-
erage for the three years, 1890 to 1892,
by little over one bushel The result
is i'm harmony with the reported indica-
tions during the growing season The
July returns of conditions were high,
being 1872, from which point there was
rapid decline ending in the returns
of October at ISL. a fall of a little over
is points, result due in the main TO
the severe, extensive and persistent
drought. The rates OF yield OF the prin-
cipal corn states are reported as fol-
lows:

MAY LEAD TO A RACE WAR.
DISTURBANCE AT THE TRIAL OF
EVANS AT BARDSTOwN, Ky.
Negroes Cheered the Black Villain
and Ii Angered the Whites-A Fight
Resulted and Three of Four Were
Badly Hurt-The Prisoner VIII
Hang. -.

BARSTOWN, KY, Nov. 10.-This
place tonight is in state of intense ex-
element and an occurrence of this
afternoon may precipitate a race war
that will result in much blood For
the past week the people of this and
surrounding counties have been aroused
to high pitch over the assault of Edna
Hall by a negro, Phil Evans.
The trail has been in progress for two
days, and not until this afternoon was
any evidence introduced that was at all
favorable to the accused. At the trial
this evening the testimony Of one of the
witnesses tended to prove the innocence
of the accused. The negroes have all
been favorable to Evans A crowd of
them had congregated outside Of the
court house when Evans was being con-
Quoted from the court house to the Jail
by the militia and they cheered him.
The streets were packed with crowds
of white people. The cheering of the
negroes so exasperated the whites that
a fight was the result. The deputies
made a charge upon the negroes and
arrested three of them. Leroy Wick
life, negro, was badly wounded and
will probably die Paul Abel and an
other negro named Simms were ar
rested. These men are desperate charac-
ters and were|badly beaten up. Several
negroes and one or two whites were
also hurt but their injuries are not Of
a serious nature. The deputies rein
forced by the militia soon dispersed the
mob. More trouble may result.
The negroes are considerably wrought
up over the occurrence and threaten
vengeance The whites largely out
number the blacks and an outbreak will
result disastrously for the latter. The
cheering of the negroes largely intensi-
fed the feeling of the whites and there
are rumors concerning a mob to take
the law into it's own hands and make
Evans pay the penalty of his crime
prevail and serious trouble will be
averted. The militia is still guarding
the jail and any attempt to secure the
prisoner will certainly result in the loss
of many lives. Evans, when on the
stand today, testified that he was at
home on the night of the crime. His
mothers testimony was badly mixed,
however, and Evans's testimony will go
for naught.
Court adjourned at q late hour this
afternoon until tomorrow morning at s
o'clock, and by noon the case will go to
the jury, which means death for Phil
Evans by the law or at the hands of
an angry mob.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 10.
]. e. Berry & Co., Chicago advices

says:
Wheat opened this morning with a
continued weak feeling, but shortly
after the opening became stronger on a
reported sale here of $4,000 blu. No. 2
direct for export, afterWard denied; also
on smaller northwestern receipts than
were generally expected. About 1900
cars were looked for and although ILL
the number received, was large, yet it
had no weight on the market. Gossip
at present is running largely into the
manner in which our market should be
judged. Conservative spectators claim
that although in the past it has been
proven highly remunerative to sell at a
high price and buy at low one, yet at
present the situation should be consid-
cred more than the price. The situation
is undoubtedly beariSh, viewed from a
large quantity standpoint, but if the
acreage of winter wheat is generally re-
duced, as in the states already heard
from, our next crop must be conSidera-
bly, under this. Some figures recently
published in the consular reports shows
the marked change now going on in the
source whence Germany derives her
wheat Up to the last year they de-
pended on Russia, principally, for their
supply, but since then, on account of
our exportable surplus, the United
States has been substituted. The fact
that Germany and Russia are now bar
Reading their frontiers against each
other assures us that the exports from
this country to Germany will be large
for at least a number Of months to
come The visible increased 1886. 900
bushels, but this was about as expected.
Cash wheat was reported in good de-
mand at an advance over Saturday
The present difference of about 75kc
seems to meet the views of carriers.
Close was strong, May l2c over Satur-
day.
Corn has ruled lower, the effects of
the government report yet not having
passed off. There was a decrease both
in the visible and on passage. Receiv-
ers are not so bearish the crowd,
undoubtedly being influenced by recent
fiat.
Hogs were lower at the yards, but
there appeared to be a good demand for
January product and the provision mar
ket closed higher

MARKET REPORTS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-After making
the months low price record at Gle. De-
cember wheat rallied today on smaller
Northwestern receipts, buying by shorts
and exports sales and closed 1kc higher
than on Saturday. Corn closed 2sc
lower. Oats showed scarcely any
change, being only 1-16c lower. Oats
were firm at the start; May opening
where they closed Saturday, 31SGS1Ac,
and on the decrease in the visible sup
ply gained hGKc. After that it fol-
lowed corn and closed 1sc under Satur-
days close at 31Ssc. Provisions ruled
firm and closed with some slight gain
for January delivery. Wheat opened
weak on an increase of lips, 600 bushels
in passage and heavy Duluth receipts,
December opening 1s6Ac off Saturdays
close. A large increase in the visible
supply was expected and this with light
seaboard clearances and discouraging
cables drove the price downward until
it touched the lowest price on record
for the month. From that point the
market improved with few reactions.
Minneapolis receipts were light, making
the total Northwestern cars about 500
less than the preceding Monday; reports
of export buying late Saturday were
circulated and covering by shorts fol-
lowed. Near the close December climbed
to &c, but weak closing cables and the
announced increase in the visible landed
it at the end sc lower than that figure.
December, which had closed Saturday
at 61$sc, opened 1@Ac lower, declined
&c, reacted to 62c and closed 1sc lower
at 61Bc Corn began the day slow with

caused a reaction, but tOmOrrow'S eSti-
mate of $50 cars sent the price down
once more The market was weak at
the close, May stopping Nc lower than
on Saturday. Opening at 1850, May
sold 14c higher, lost sc, climbed &c, re-
acted sG1ac, went up nc, and lost 1sc.
closing &c below its start at 4115c. Pro
visions were firm and closed higher on

morrow. AS compared with Saturday,
January pork closed 10c higher; January
lard TIC better and January ribs 71ac
