CONDITION OF CORN.
Decline Heaviest Ever Known within q

Oeclfns Heaviest Ever Known Within q
Period of Thirty Days.
CHICAGO, Aug. f5--The August crop
report OF the Prairie Farmer says that
while conditions July l indicated the
largest corn crop ever grown,
= most liberal estimate on
August would indicate a
yield decidedly under the average Of
recent years During July there was
a decline n condition of 2O.s points,
the average on August l being $50.
This is the heaviest decline in one
month ever known in the history OF
crop reporting and is entirely the re-
suit Of severe drOuth which prevailed
over almost the entire corn belt.
These conditions continued for the
first ten davs of August SO that no
definite estimate Of the probable
crop can be made. The condition
reported August 1 would indicate a
crop slightly under 1. 200. 0OO. 600. but
it is not possible to say what further
loss has been sustained since that
date. The condition in leading states

STRIKE WILL CAUSE A BOOM,

-
The Anthracite Coal Miners A re J BIZ
liant Over the Prospect OF Full Time
Because OF the Great strike of the
Bituminous Coal Workers Rail-
roads Are Preparing for q Big Out
put.
WILKKsBARRK, Pa, April 90 The great
strike of the bituminous coal miners bids
fair to boom the anthracite coal trade in
the Wyoming Valley. During the past
winter the mines were worked very little,
and many of the workmsn found 1t exceed
ingly difficult to earn enough to keep them
and their families. The prospect of full
time, provided the strike ia not soon set
tied, has greatly oheered the miners and
lsborers.
The coal operators are already preparing
to put the mines on full time In snticips-
ton of large orders from the consumers of
soft coal. The effort of the United Miners
to secure the cooperation of the anthracite
miners is sure to fall, as the latter are only
too glad of the opportunity to secure
enough work to aid them in getting out of
debt. The various railroads in this section
are working day and night getting their
rolling stock ready for a large output,
and 1t begins to look as though the strike
would result in a general boom of all
kinds of business throughout the snthrs-
cite region.
A great many Hungarisns, Poles and
Italians left this section yesterday and to.
day for the bituminous coal regions TO take
the place of striking miners. Agents of
the strikers have been in this region for

CLEVELAND GIVES ADVICE.

To Maintain the Peoples Tra.t the
Democratic Party should Insist on
the Principle of Tariff Reform.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The following
letter from President Cleveland to Hon.
Chauncey F. Black, president of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic Clubs is
self-explanatory:
WASHINGTON, d. G., April IS, 1894.
Hon. Chauncsy F. Black, president, etc.
Ny Dear Sir:-I have carefully read the
communication you lately placed In my
hands setting forth the future purposes
and present needs of the National Associ-
alton of Democratic Clubs.
The achievements of this organization
should be familiar to all who are interested
premacy and should enlist the encourage
ment of those who appreciate the import
ance of an effective dissemination of
democratic doctrine.
Your association has done much by way
of educating our people touching the par
ticular subjects which are recognized as
belonging to the democratic faith, but 1t
seems to me that Its best service has been
an enforcement and demonstration of the
truth that our party is best organized and
most powerful when 1t strives for princi-
Piles instead of spoils and that Il quickly
responds to the stimulus supplied by an
enlistment in the peoples cause.
This acknowledgment of the important
services rendered to the advancement of
true democracy suggests that the national
associations, and every other agency,
should labor earnestly and INCREASINGLY to
save our party, In this time of its power
and responsibility, from degradation and
Disgrace of failure to redeem the pledges
upon which our fellow countrymen en-
trusted us with the control of their govern
meht.
All who charged on behalf of the demo-
cratic party with the redemption of the
pledges should now be impressively re-
minded that as We won our way to victory
under the banner of tariff reform, 40 our |
insistence upon that principle is the condi- |
tion of our retention of the peoples trust,
and the fealty to party organization de- |
msnds the subordination of individual ad- |
vantages and wishes and the putting aside |
of petty and ignoble jeslousies and bicker- |
ings when party principles and party in
tegrity and party existence are at stake. I /
cheerfully enclose q contribution to the /
funds necessary to carry on the good work /
of your organization, with a hearty wish /
for Its continued success and usefulness.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.

Death and Destruction Throughout
Towns Whole Families Have DIsap-
peared-There Is Much Distress.
ATHENS. April 22.-Many reports
from the towns which have suf-
fsred most severely from the earth
quakes of the last two days were
received this afternoon and evening. The
loss Of life and property is much greater
than was at first supposed. In the Locris
district 1879 persons are known to have
been killed by falling walls and many 9TH
ers are missing.
A parish church in Proskino collapsed
during vespers and thirty men aud women
were killed outright, while several ps rsons
who were dug out alive from the ruins are
likely to die. Ninety persons were buried
in the ruins in Mslesnis and sixty of them
were killed. The others may recover. In
many towns whole households have dissp.
psared without leaving an inkling of their
fate. In MARITIME thirty mine persons We're
killed by falling timhers. Most of them
died within the walls of a church whose
roof fell In during services.
Although there has been small loss of
human life in Athens and its environs the
damage to property has been enormous.
The buildings in which the Austrian Lloyd
and the Florio Rubsttino companies had
their Offices were wrecked completely. The
roof collapsed, the floors broke and the
walls are rent. Hardly whole piece of
furniture WAS left in either building.
For years the work Of restoring the ia
nous Byzantine church at Daphne has
been in progress. The dome and walls had
been repaired, but yesterday they were
cracked and crumblsd and the beautiful
mosaics were disfgured beyond hope of
restoration.
But little can be done toward allevisting
| the prevalent distress as there are no char
ity organizations of importance here. In
dozens of towns the houses have been de-
serted, the inhabitants are camping un-
sheltered and almost unfed in the fields
and cannot be persuaded to return to their
homes. The king, accompanied by the
minister of the interior, has begun visiting
the districts which have Altered most
keenly.

BosToN, April %. - Pandemonium
reigued on the Common to dsy-pande-
monium that ran dangerously near the
verge of full fedged riot. During it's
height the New England delegation of the
industrial army made their escape from
the midst of $4,000 excited men, and sing
ly ''lit out" for Roxbury. This was not,
however, until their banner had been torn
to fragments and several of them pretty
severely handled.
Speeches were interrupted, Missed,
drowned by cat-calls and blotted out of e1-
istence with derisive cheers.
Lucien Ssniel of New York was uncere-
moniously dropped on the barbed wire
fence that surrounds the band STAND, and
his hands badly cut and q new broadcloth
suit torn. Even Morrison I. Swift was
spattered by a piece of tobacco thrown
while he was speaking. Miss Charlotte
Smith tried to make an address from dry
goods box placed under a tree on the out
skirts of the mighty gathering, but was
thrown to the ground and only rescued by
a detachment of police. Fights were too
numerous to count, and the much-her-
aided departure of Boston's contingent to
the rendezvous of the idle in Washington
WAS broken up to prevent an ectual riot.
Twice had Mr.. Swift called upon the 20.
lice to stop tho disgracsful proceedings
without avail. Then he warned the six
officers, who were grouped outside the
limits of the crowd, that they alone would
be responsible for the results, should there
be loss of life and property. Still they
took no action, and 1t was only when a
mob had torn down the fence that sur
rounde the band stand that they were in
actual possession of the structure to the
imminent peril of adozsn women, who had
been fairly carried into 1t for shelter, that
they appeared on the scene.
IL was then too late, however, Is the
crowd guyed the bluecoats frst and then
penned them on the stand. Discretion at
this point WAS the better part of valor and
Mr.. Swift adjourned the meeting and
pleaded with the assembled thousands to
go home quietly. Thirty-eight men later
formed in Roxbury and took up their line
of march to Dedhsm. Before reaching
that place they had received twelve more
recruits.
DEDHAM, Mass April 22.-The members

they would be maligned.
