WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The statisti-
cal report of the agricultural depart
ment Just issued gives review Of gen
eral crop conditions not comprised in
that made public on the 10th inst. 1t
says that in Minnesota there is a lower
wheat yield than was anticipated and
considerable smut, which is also preva-
lent i'll North Dakota, where threshing
shows q very good yield. There is
slightly improved condition in South
Dakota As to The Pacitc coast, the re-
Aug. /: Washington, damage by hot
winds in western part, Offset, however,
by good condition in the East berry
hard and well filed; the California crop,
which was largely shelled out by June
winds, estimated to be less than since
farming became general in that state;
considerable late grain cut for hay.
The least promising of important oats
states are California, with per centage
of %, Illinois %. These states produced
nearly one third Of kthe crop Of 1891
The rye crop in the East and South is
generally good, the average being low
cred by conditions in Western states.
PotatOes-In ii states and two terri
tories, which together produced little
over one-fifth of the last years crcpS,
condition ranges from 100 to 10. The
states Of largest productions are Penn
sylvania, 100; Missouri, lO4, and Mime
sofa los. Drought and potato rot most
frequently caused the low conditions.
/ Fruit-Both apples and peaches show
| slight improvement. Drought has
caused dropping and too rapid maturity

sufficient TO alter the general average for

apples is now -, and of peaches S4.l.

stock hogs tor fattening. show IS gen.
eral average for the United States a de
crease of IA per cent as compared with

QUICK ACTION URGED.
Disposal of North Dakota Milling AssO-
citation Property suggested.

GRAND Forks, II. D., Sept. 1.-THE
committee Oh reorganization, consisting
of w. X. Merriam, G. B. Little and
Charles r. Harrington. appointed by
the creditors of the North Dakota Mill
ing association, have sent out a second
circular urging all immediate reply to
the circular issued few, weeks ago pro-
posing plan of reorganization. The
keynote of this second circular is
that quick action te taken towards
the disposition of the plants and
property in order that as much as possi-
BILE may be saved to the creditors. The
claim is made that the receivership is
proving an expense, and further incen-
tive toward quick disposition Of the
property is the depreciation of the price
of -four and wheat. 1t is confidently ex-
pected here that quick move of some
kind in the affairs of the defunct assOci-
alton will be made within very short
time

Americans in England.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-StarbOrd tacks,
rules of the road at sea, the right Of
yacht engaged in race to claim
course free from the impediment of
pleasure craft, and principally the Earl
of Dunraven's conduct in refusing to
finish the races for that most famous of
international sporting trophies, the
Americas cup, have formed the princi
pal topic of discussion in London the
last few days. 1t must be admitted,
despite the fair comments of the best
among London newspapers and the po-
lite assurance Of such power in the
yachting world as Mr.. Ormonde, vice
commodore of the Royal Squadron, that
American yachts and yachtsmen will
always be welcome here, that this will
not he the case
Always Been a Feeling.
There has always been feeling here
against Americans, as has fairly been
shown in all the recent international
contests. Every American who has
lived for any length of time in England
must have become familiar with this
feeling, WHICH crops out on all occasions.
A former American ambassador, who
was one of the most popular men who
ever came to England. and who was re-
ceived upon terms of greater intimacy
by the most exclusive circles in Eng
land than any Of his successors have
! been, once said to representative OF
the Associated Press, alluding to an ar
ticle in the ST James Gazette, paper
which has always been noted for its hos
tility to Americans:
Il regard that paper as a true expo
nent of the feeling Of the British people
with regard to America. They don
like us and it is of no use trying to per
| suade ourselves otherwise

THE OLYMPIC CLUB WINS.
A DECISION WHICH ALLOWS PRIZE
FIGHTS TO BE HELD.
Judse Richter says the Act Regarding Pr; 70
Fighting 10 "a Piece of Legislative
Fraud aud Mendacity.

NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-THE case
of the State against the olympic Ath-
letic Club. in an attempt TO annul the
charter OF that club, has been decided
in favor of the latter by the lower court
The effect of this decision Will be 10
permit glove contests 10 take place.
Judge Richter's decision is as follows
Il am called upon to interpret Ac. ~.
-. OF the statutes of 1880. The title Oh
the act reads: An act defining the crime
of prize-hghting and to provide for the
Punishment thereof in and out of the
State of Louisiana The act embraces
two sections and a proviso, neither OF
the sections defining the crime of prize
fighting, nor does the prOv.so tell what
a glove contest is. The former mot de-
finedD is forbidden and punished; the lat
ter are, under certain conditions, permit
ted, and by implication encouraged.
Having under instructions from the
Supreme Court excluded all expert tes-
umony as to distinction between these
differently designated methods OF pugi-
lism, and referring only to the facts
proved in the one case and in the other,
| find that a prize-fght is glove con-
test without gloves and that glove
contest is prize-hght with gloves. In
each case there is a duel with fists and
a prize. In each case there is the same
daI ger to life and limb, the same MAIN
ing and shedding of blood, the same bru-
tality.
II conclude, therefore. that the act
entitled AN act defining the crime Of
prize fighting and TO provide for the
punishment thereof I'm and out of the
State of louisiana is a piece of leg.s-
lative fraud and mendacty It neither
defines the crime of prize-flghting, nor
does il provide any penalty for the same
which cannot be evaded by the mockery
of covering with gloves the hanus of
as brutal and dangerous as q prize-hght
was clearly settled N the case of Lavigne
VS.. Andy Bowen. on tne whole, | find
that priZe-fiht in Louisiana IS a glove
contest. and that a glove contest is
prize-light. 1t logically follows that
there being no prohibition of glove con
tests In this State. the name being le-
gallzed and encouraged under certain
conditions which the prize-fghter will
ingly accepts, priZe-fighting Is now what
1t never was before. by the enactment OF
Statute No. .. 1880, a legitimate business
