culture relates to the distribution Of
corn and wheat and the stocks remain

dividual holdings of growers, but is
based on county estimates of the per-
centage of last years products remain
ing, made by board of correspondents
in each county, and also by an indie
pendent board reporting to the state
agent All grain, including any sur
plus of previous years, is included
These separate results are ScrutinizeS,
obvious errors and inconsistencies cor
rected, differences harmonized and ulti-
mate statements tabulated by states to
show both percentages and aggregate
quantities
The corn on hand, as estimated,
aggregates 626, s47, SO bushels, or SIS
per cent of the last product This pro-
portion has been exceeded in March
four times in the last ten years, and
the quantity has been exceeded five
times The consumption of eight
months, 1,e01, 616, $50 bushels. only ex-
eeeds that following the smaller crops
of 1887 and 1890 The aggregate sold
from farms to go beyond county lines
is 81, S79, 600 bushels, or Ia per cent of
the crop The proportion merchant
able is 1,S45, 445, 900. or sac per cent
The values returned for merchantaDle
corn averaged 42.9 cents, for unmer-
charitable 2Z.7 cents. making an aggre-
gate of S665, 600, 600. which exceeds the
December valuation by SIS, 600, 600,

The estimated proportion of wheat
on hand is 26.2 per cent of the last
crop, the smallest per centage in ten
years The quantity aggregates 1885,
600, 600 bushels, Sc, 600, OOG less than last
March and 2S, ZOO. 600 more than the
remnant of the very small crop of 1890.
A very large proportion is found in the
states that do not spare q bushel for
commercial distribution; only 81, O00, 900
in the principal spring wheat states,
more than half of which is required for
seed in the spring, OF the winter
wheat states only Kansas and Califor-
MIA have any considerable surplus
available for commercial distribution.
The amount exported in twelve months
is 191, 600, 600 bushels; required for
consumption, 500, 600, 600; seed used, 54,-

supply of TBS, 600, 600 bushels There is
therefore an apparent excess of distri-

cannot be positively assured;
that the crops of 1891 and 1892
were underestimate by 2 or 8 per
cent. which would be very close mar
gin on the safe side. Very little old
wheat is reported on hand The aver
age weight of the crop, per measured
bushel, as calculated from returns of
millers and state agents and CORE
spondents, is SIS pounds, reducing the
estimated product to 494, 900, 600 COM

Serious Trouble the Newly Opened
Crow Reservation In Montana.
LAUREL, Mont, March 1O.-Open war
fare has broken out between the set
tiers on the newly opened portion of the
Crow reservation and the Indians, and
the widest excitement exists at the
new town of Wilsey and the country
round about
Ranchmen around Wilsey are moving
their wives and children to places of
safety and are preparing to defend
their claims with their lives if neces-
sary.
The first bloodshed occurred yester-
day morning, Little Face, a Crow In
dian, being killed. The Indians who
have just been allotted lands in sever
atty had become angered at the en-
croachments of the whites and under
took to drive off settler named Hen
derson- On Monday they drove Hen
derson away but he returned
with couple of friends, all
armed. The red devils gathered in
a clump of timber and sent Little
Face forward He told Henderson if
he remained on the tract of land which
he had homesteaded another twenty
four hours he would be scalped and his
body fed to the crows. He then
whistled and his companions began to
pour out OF the woods, at the same
reaching for his gun which he had set
against a tree.
He was not quick enough, however,
as Henderson shot him through the
heart. With wild yell his companions
disappeared at double quick time into
the woods. The Crows are making
medicine and preparing for actual war

JACKSON, Miss, March News
reached here to-day of sensational
killing and Illegal trial in Simpson
county. A negro. who was suspected
and against whom there was strong cir
cumstantial evidence of having entered
the bed room of Miss Tu1Ias with the
purpose of criminal assault, was hunted
down and shot to death by her three
brothers Justice of the Peace Slaugh-
ter tried the young men, giving them
the benefit of a jury, and, of course, ac-
quilted them very promptly, as is the
custom here in such cases The pecu-
liar part of the proceedings is that the
justice had no jurisdiction whatever.

There VIII BE a strike.

TOLEDO, O., March S.-This morning
fifty engineers and as many fremen of
the Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Michi-
gan railroad will go out on strike. An
order to that effect was issued by Chief
Arthur, of the Brotherhood of En-
gineers, and Chief Sargent, of the Fire
men, Attempts to close the differences
between the company and the engineers
have proved futile. General Manager
Ashley, of the Ann Arbor, left to-day,
and the other officials of the company
have nothing to say in the matter. 1t
is thought, however, that the places of
the strikers will be promptly filed by
non-union men.

Healthy Weather for the Healthy.

''Oh, yes, it's healthy weather." said
q prominent physician one cold day

all very well to talk about bracing
weather. If you're well you can keep
we'll If you're not, You die. That's the
way it's bracing. Such weather drains
vitality. Those who have abundant
vitality can stand it. but you'll notice

Weary of fractional strife.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 1O.-Rev r.
w. Runyon, pastor of the principal
church of the Evangelical association
in Baltimore, has resigned, and will
join the Central Pennsylvania confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church.
He thus plainly states the reason for
the change 1.-THE Evangelical associa-
ton is in a war-like condition and is
divided into two factions. generally
known as the Dubbs and Esher factions.
1t seems to pc disintegrating. The Diff
ferenceS between the factions seem to
be paralyzing the efforts of ministers
on both sides The churches no longer
respect the authority of the ministers. -

WEATHER AND THE POOR,
Cleaning or the SnOw-Appeals
for Aid.

Mercury manifested slight tendency
to stay down yesterday, but the sun s
warm rays pulled it up to 81 in many
places. There was considerable slush
in the streets from the melting snow.
So far there is apparently no change IN
the condition of the river. To all APP
pearanccs it is solid block of ice.
Many persons took advantage of the
pretty weather yesterday III which to
clean the snow from their house-tops.
In this work some startling revelations
were made. In many instances upon
the Ballard House specially solid sheets
of ice several inches thick were found
under the snow
The reservoirs contained slightly mora
water and the pressure was someWhao
better yesterday than on the day pre-
vious. There is still great trouble from
frozen pipes. There are IN the city
many blocks OF houses IN which only
one or two have water. The gas situa-
ton remained practically unchanged.
A number Of complaints were made to
the Inspectors office and Will receive at
tention Just ms they appear upon the
books.
Mr.. r. w. Carter, Superintendent of
the Public Charities, told DISPATCH re-
porter Yesterday that he had many moro
appeals from the poor for food than for
fuel. He said these cases were given al
possible aid. Within the past few days
he had distributed seventy-hve cords OF
wood among the needy. He stated that
the demands for assistance were not
specially numerous, considering the ex-
treme weather.
