Michigan Crop Report.

Lansing, September s, 1894.
The average rainfall in the state in
August did not exceed threefourths of
an inch, or two inches less than the us
ual amount in this month. In July
there was deficiency of one and
threefourths inches. There was very
light rain, throughout the State, gen
eral July 20, but none from that date
to the first of September. With a
drouth thus practically unbroken dur
ing the two principal crop growing
months of July and August, it is not
difficult to estimate the condition of
crops. They are dried up. Corn, po-
tatoes, and the garden truck are dam
aged beyond recovery, the yield will
be but a small per cent of an average,
and pastures afford but little or no
feed for stock. The fact that in few
localities rain has been slightly more
abundant and crops are somewhat bet
ter, does not disprOve the general
statement
There is little doubt that wheat will
be largely fed to stock the coming
winter. We hope to have estimates of
the proportion of the crop. Our country
miller writes us that he has already
ground fifteen hundred bushels for
feed.
Threshers returns of more than 6S, 900
acres of wheat threshed, secured by
correspondents, show that the average
yield per acre in the State is 1866 BUSH
els. The average in the southern coun-
ties is 1918 bushels, in the central 1920
bushels, and in the northern 1895 bu.
The total number of bushels of
wheat reported marketed by farmers
since the August report was published
is 952, ,S03. OF this amount 304 $50 bu-
shells were marketed before August |,
but not reported until late in August,
and GAS, l23 bushels were marketed in
August. The total amount reported
marketed in the twelve months ending
with July, which is the wheat year for
Michigan, is Is, ,450,95S bushels.
The amount of wheat reported mark
eted since the August report was pub
lished, 952 1903 bushels, is 296, ,066 BUSH
els less than reported for the same
time in 1893.

VIII Only Make an Effort.

To the people of this village and sur
rounding country is the responsibility
resting as regards the success of our
local fair to be held in this village
September 25, 26 and %. The officers
of the society have made calculations
and arrangements this year for one of
the best fairs in the history of the as

premiums and purses that ought to
bring out good display of farm stock
and products. They have also made
arrangements whereby the amusements

pie in attendance. Prof. Elliott, of
Jackson, Mich, during the fair will
make balloon ascension in his great
air ship with "A daring parachute drop,
and the Driving Club have charge of
the races on the last day of the fair,
and you can look for some hotly con-
tested racing.
Now it rests with the people at large
to make the fair exhibit a thorough
success. Let every farmer, every mer-
chant, every business man, every
woman and child bring something to
the far this year and make it one of
the best vet.

GIGANTIC FRAUDS.
The Carnegie Steel Company Forced
to Disgorge Over 100000
to the Government.

Secretary Herbert of the naval
department on yesterday forward
ed to the lower house of the Federal
Congress an answer to the resolu-
ton of Representative Cummings,
calling for statement of the de
tails of the recent alleged violation
by Carnegie, Phipps & Co., of con-
tracts with the United States for
the manufacture of armor plate for
the navy.
The secretary's answers long and
very interesting, giving in detail
the history of the progress and dis
covery of one Of the most gigantic
frauds known to our naval admins
tration, Some time last Septem-
ber the secretary received from
James Smith, a Pittsburg attorney
representing certain persons in the
employ of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, limited, of Pittsburg, notice
that these employees were in the
possession of information which
would be valuable to the govern
ment, relating to frauds then being
perpetrated by certain employees of
this company, which they would
give to the government for suf-
ficient consideration. The secretary
agreed if the information lead to a
recovery of the money from the
company to remunerate the inform
ers from sums recovered, but not to
pay any expenses, The amount so
manufactured was to be 2,647 ,937
tons and the value 81, 4O4, 1914. Ten
per cent of this value is $40, 1894,
and this amount was forfeited to
the government. A settlement was
effected, According to the terms
of the agreement the Carnegie Steel
Company, limited, paid into the
bank at Pittsburg, Pa, to the cred
it of informants, $35, 12l, and it
credited vouchers for armor fur
nished to the government with
$105, 800, which vouchers are now
on file in the department, Nomon-
ey whatever passed through the
hands of the department.

THE PRENDERGAsT CASE.

Ex-Mayor, of Chicago, Hampstead
Washburn, has caused considerable
interest and a renewal of public
feeling in the case of Mayor Harri-
sons slayer, VIM. Prendergast, by
the announcement that he had dur
ing his term of Office, received let
ters from Prendergast threatening
his life because Of his refusal to
give the assassin a city position.
81 sincerely believe that Prender-
gast is responsible for his act, and
that the law should be allowed to
take it's course, said Mr.. Washburn
"That he is sane ] have not the
slightest doubt. He thirsts for no.
toriety and people of his stamp
should be properly dealt with. "
Judge Chetlain to whose remark
able decision Prendegast owes a re-
prieve, has given Chicago another
surprise. He has been popularly
regarded as a promising bachelor,
but he took occasion to make pub
lie the fact that several years ago
he was married to Miss Lotten De
Lilleiberg, a Swedish beauty, who,
at the time of the wedding, was en-
gagged as a house companion of the
aged mother of Judge Chetlain's
fathers second wife. The Judge
resides in the outskirts of the city,
and, though he has two children, a
boy ahd girl, the fact of his mar
riage was known to but few.
Another curious fact is that Judge
Chetlain was for long time law
partner of Attorney Gregory,
whose pleading won the respite for
Prendergast.
A report is current that A. S.
Trude, the famous advocate who
represented the family of Mayor
Harrison in the prosecution of
Prendergast, believes that the as
sassin is now insane, whatever was
the case at the time of the crime.
1t is said that Mr.. Trude will conse-
quently not appear in the new trial

THE CHINESE TREATY.

Representative Geary, of Califor-
MIA, author of the Chinese registra-
ton act, has caused much surprise,
in official circles, by coming out in
approval of the new Chinese treaty.
He does not agree with those who
have argued that it amounts to an
arbrogation of the Geary law, but
looks upon it rather as a recogni-
ton of the registration principal
which is the feature of the law that
bears his name
The California member sums up
his views on the treaty as follows;
For this treaty with a few chang
es, which have no doubt will be
incorporated in it, the administra-
ton is entitled to great credit for
having finally settled the Chinese
question and | confidently hope such
will be the result. If there was
nothing to consult but the senti-
ment of the Pacific coast the task
for any administration would be
easy in dealing with the Chinese
question, but our people must re-
the large interests repre-
sented by the greater number of
people throughout the rest of
the United States in represent
ing the greet financial, political and
religious interests, which are al
ways battling against them. 1t is
a cause of congratulation that the
administration has had the cour-
age to recognize as fully as it has
the wants of the Pacific coast"

ed wholly on the act of Congress of
July 2, 1890, known as the antitrust
law. The defendants" the opinion
says, "are charged with violations
of its two sections, which relate
late respectively to restrain trade
and to prevent monopoly. The
most that can be said, and this for
the present purpose may be assur-
ed, is that the sugar trust has ac-
quired control of the business Of re-
fining and selling sugar in the I'm
tied States, but does this involve a
monopoly or restraint of foreign
or interstate commerce. We are
clearly of the opinion that it does
not. We do not deem it necessary
to say more, inasmuch as the sub
ject has very recently been consid-
cred and passed upon in the case of
Greene by Judge Jackson, now one
of the justices of the supreme
court, in whose opinion the earlier
cases are referred to-"

C0XEY'S ARMY A JOKE.

The public of Washington, D. c.,
regard the advance of Coxey's army
of peace in the light of a huge joke.
Those who took counsel of their own
timidity and feared that the band
Of pilgrims would swell into gigan-
tic mob of vagabonds and anarchists
and conjured up a general uprising,
which might eventually lead to riot
and bloodshed, perhaps even revo-
luton, had all their fears dispelled
when they saw by the morning pa
pers that Coxey's boasted army had
dwindled into less than a hundred,
chiefly tramps, who were willing to
exchange the hard bread and cold
potatoes to which they had become
Injured for a membership in the
army.
Col. E. A, Redstone, Coxey's rep
resentative in Washington, said that
he was not disappointed at the poor
showing made by the army of the
commonweal in its first days march

SUGAR TRUST LEGAL.

The United States Circuit court,
Judge Dallas presiding, on yester-
day, affirmed the DEGREES of the
circuit court of the Eastern dis
trict of Pennsylvania, in the case
of United States Government
against the Sugar trust, to the
effect that the absorption of the
Philadelphia redneries Of Pennsyl-
vania was legal. This is victory
for the trust. The only question
which the case involved, in the opin-
ion of the court, is the following:
''Does the lower court err in hold
ing that the facts in this case do
not show a contract, combination
or conspiracy to restrain or monop-
olize trade or commerce among the
several states or with foreign ma

The 0'Neil- Joy Contest Progresses
Slowly--Stewart on Cox
ey's Army.

Yesterday was another day with
out progress il the House over the
ONeil-Joy contested election case,
owing to continued absence of a
quorum of Democratic members,
and at the close of the proceedings
it was as far from a conclusion as
when the deadlock first began. Roll
call followed one after another in
rapid succession, but while there
were known to be 230 members on
the floor, the nearest the majority
ever came to a quorum was 172,
seven less than a quorum. Late in
the afternoon the Democratic lead
ers held a consultation, and the re-
suit was that the committee on
rules was directed to come to the
assistance of the House and a spec
ial rule be brought in, covering not
only the O'Neil-Joy case, but prob
ably also the Hilborn-English case,
from the Third California district.
At 4;O7 p. m. the House adjourned.
