LITTLE WHEAT LEFT.
Amount Carried over by Farmers Will Not
Exceed 4, ,ONN. 900 Bushels

Amount Carried over by Farmers Will Not
Exceed 4,o"y.Oo Bushels.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 5l.-The farmers
OF the Northwest are going to carry over
to the new crop year a smaller quantity
OF old wheat than for some time past.
Inquiry among the elevator men dis
closes the fact that the farmers are
marketing very little wheat at this time
and, although the receipts at Minneap-
oils are holding up pretty well consider
ing the market, the part sold by the
farmers is steadily growing less week by
week. It is estimated that the farmers
sold last week about 200 900 bushels. For
the week ending Saturday the proportion
sold by the farmers will be still less. The
records of Secretary Rogers, of the
Chamber of Commerce, show that, of
the 1891 crop, 25,00o,0oO million bushels
were carried over by the farmers. Of
the 1892 crop, about 100000 bushels
We're held over, while Of the 1898 crop it
is now estimated that not over 5000, 900
or 100000 bushels will remain in the
farmers hands when the new crop be-
gins to move. A larger proportion than
usual OF the current crop was sold by
the farmers last fall, so that they have
not much Oh hand by this time, and
their part OF present shipments is very
light

japan May Get Into Trouble with Great
Britain.
WASHINGTON, Aug. lit is the opin-
ion of diplomats here that the Japanese
have made grave error in sinking the
transport Kow Shing, and one that is
likely to cost them much money in
reparation, besides the humiliation of an
apology. The Kow Shing was one of
line OF coasting steamers belonging to
Hugh Mathelson & Co., and trading be-
tween Chinese ports. The vessel was
under the British flag when she was
sunk. Although she carried Chinese
troops to Corea, it is said here that she
did not in SO doing violate the law of
neutrality, for there has been no
declaration Of war or open acknowledge
ment by either China OF Japan that
war prevails.
The vessel, therefore, was engaged in
legitimate traffic, and the Jepanese are
likely to pay dearly for sinking her and
destroying the lives of the ships COM
pany.
An Interesting Explanation
OF the present attitude Of Japan to-
wards China was furnished by diplo-
mat of much experience in Asiatic af-
fairs. He first pointed out the fact that
internal conditions in Japan are, and
have been for some time, very much
disturbed. There has been great fric-
ton between the mikado and his cab
met on the one side and the parlia-
ment and people on the other. This
STEADILY increased until the parliament
actually passed a resolution requesting
the mikado to remove his cabinet and
replace it by other men more nearly in
accord with their ideas, which are dis
tinctly reactionary and marked by re-
sentiment at the presence of foreigners

Organized Band of DesperadOes Terrorize

DENVER, Aug. l.-One result of the
late warlike strike at Cripple Greek is
the organization Of band of robbers
who have terrorized the country in the
Immediate neighborhood, and the out
break OF trouble more bloody than the
recent strike is among the possibilities.
When it became known that Sheriff
Bowers was to be permitted to serve
warrants and make arrests those, leaders
who felt that their actions would
be punished with heavy penal
ties, fled the camp. A party of
them, numbering 10 or 15, organized
themselves into a band, and ever since
have demanded sustenance from the
surrounding ranchmen. They are
mounted on stolen horses and make
raids, seizing cattle, poultry and horses,
anything that will serve their purpose.
Last Sunday they rode into the little
town OF Victor, demanded what they
wanted, and then boasted that no one
in Victor could stop them. Dr. J. Wiley
Co]lens was the only man who had the
courage to defy them. Having no fire
arms, he attempted to borrow a gun,
but fear prevented any one from COM
plying with his request and he was
obliged to digest his indignation.
So serious have the raids become that

Tecumseh, Neb.
OMAHA, Aug. IA special to The
Bee from Tecumseh, Neb., says: As the
result of a bloody shooting affray which
took place just over the line Of Pawnee

two men are now dead and two seri.
ously wounded. Charles Schultz, a
rich German farmer, with his two sons,
Charles and Frank, live neighboring
James Abbot, well -to-do and respected
farmer. The Eeighbors had lately had
good deal Of trouble on account of
Abbott allowing his hogs to run at
large and trespass on the fields of
Schultz. Forbearance ceased to be a
virtue and the elder Schultz, with his
son Charles, loaded a double barreled
shotgun and
Started on the Warpath
for Abbott's porcines. Abbott caught
on to the maneuvers and as the men
came toward his hog lot he advanced to
protect his property. Young Schultz
was carrying the gun at the time and at
sight of his e1ring neighbor the old man
exclaimed: "There is the - himself;
give him the load;" whereupon young
Schultz emptied both barrels of the gun
at Abbott, one charge hitting him and
81 No. 6 shot entered his left side and
hip. Abbott was brought to this city in
dying condition and Sheriff Stone of
Pawnee notified. Sheriff Stone and half
dozen deputies left Immediately for
the scene Of the trouble, but while on
the way out met Schultz and his sons

deputies ordered the men to surrender
They refused and the officers all fired at
them. The old man was shot in the
back and head and died shortly after
Charles was shot in the shoulder, but
escaped. Frank was captured. Abbott

STOLE A KEG OF GOLD.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Of a Shipment

Disappeared.
POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING

rorizing the People Of Cripple
Greek.

PARIS, Aug. 1.-The police of France
are Investigating what is probably one
Of the most remarkable robberies on
record, and it is believed that the police
authorities Of the United States will be
asked, if they have not already been SC
requested, to take hand in the investi.
cation.
In some unaccountable manner cask
OF gold from New York valued at $780,.
600, has been stolen while in transit
from Havre to Paris.
The French line steamship La Tour
raine, Captain .Santelli, left New York
Oh July 81, for Havre, with 40 casks of
American gold on board, valued at
100000 and consigned to various con-
Germs. She arrived here July 20. The
40 casks Of gold are believed to have
been safely landed at Havre, and they
are also said to have been placed COM
plete on board the train running be-
tween Havre and this city, but when
the precious casks We're counted upon
arriving here there were only 80 of
them, one cask containing $4,000 in
American gold had by some means dis
appeared.
The Disappearance of the Cask
OF gold has given rise to number of
police theories, the strongest being that
the gold was followed from New York
by expert thieves who patiently awaited
their chance to abstract one of the
casks.
The police, pending the termination
OF their investigation, will not give any
particulars concerning the robbery, but
it is believed that several persons were
concerned in the theft, for the cask of
gold must have weighed nearly 200
pounds, and even very strong man
could not have carried such a load alone
for any great distance.
In any case a most remarkable rob-
berry has been committed, and the police
OF France are busily engaged in an at
tempt to solve the mystery of the dis
appearance of the $4,000 cask of gold

cleveland Newspaper Claims the Judge
Appropriated 1,55s.75.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 1.-An expert ac-
countant, employed by an afternoon
newspaper, has been at work for several
days on the records Of the United States
court, investigating the charges made
the Central Labor unions against
United States Judge A. J. Kicks. The
paper prints lengthy tabulated state
ment, showing, so the paper claims, a
discrepancy of $l,55S.75 against Judge
Kicks, when he was clerk of the United
States circuit court. The article con.
cludes as follows:
"The United States records proclaim
that in these Birdsall cases the United
States treasury was defrauded out Of
$1,55S.75, all Of which was received ana
appropriated by Augustus j. Ricks,
after he had ceased to be a clerk, and
while he was judge of the district court
for the Northern district Of Ohio. The
records do not disclose that the 81, ,558 rs
so obtained by Judge Kicks was incorpo-
rated i'll any subsequent report Of sue

Reasons For the Increase.

"Our investigation, said Mr.. Pow
ers, gives no color to this theory We
find the largest increase of farm tenancy
in the most prosperous counties, and
where there are practically no fore
closures, while in counties having many
foreclosures we find the fewest tenants.
OF 1,192 farmers visited we found only
20 who had formerly owned farms, but
are now tenants, and Of these only two
had lost their farms by foreclosure.
"Of those who had risen from ten
ancy to ownership there were 12 times
as many, or 235. The constant tend
ency in the older counties is for farm
ers, as they improve their farms and be-
come full owners to sell out or rent,
while man who has but small capi-
tai can do better to rent than to buy
The farm tenant with $500 capital can
save more money than the farm owner
with the same amount. Our conclu-
sion is that tenancy is the highway on
Which the farmer passes to ownership. ~
