VENERABLE WHALE KILLED.
One of the Oldest Inhabitants of the
Deep slaughtered OF Nahant.

BOSTON, Mass. March 11.--A whale
about seventy-five feet in length was killed
off Nahant last night by picked crew of
experienced men from Nahant. The whale
had been reported by several parties during
the last few weeks, and Friday night two
fishermen who were out in their boats were
forced to make a hurried retreat to the
shore in order to escape undue familiarity
ON the part of his whaleship. The whale is
evidently an old one, and he is half covered
with sea weed. Deeply imbedded in his
back is an ancient harpoon badly rusted
but with the inscription: Hiram X Swain,
Nantucket 1853" still legble The Nahant
whalers are in high glee, as there has been
considerably rivalry between them and their
Swamscott brothers over the prospective
capture of the monster.

STOCKS OF CORN AND WHEAT.
Crop Report of the Agricultural De-
partment for March.

partment for March.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE crop re-
port of the Department of Agriculture for
the distribution of corn and wheat the
stocks remaining in the hands of farmers,
and the proportions of merchantable and
understandable. The report Is based on
county estimates of the percentage of last
years product remaining in first hands.
Obvious errors and Inconsistencies of state
ment being corrected and differences har-
monized all grain in the hands of farmers,
including amounts remaining over from
previous years are embraced in the esti-
mates given. The corn on hand, as esti-
mated, aggregates Ats, 564, $50 blu, or 1872 per
cent. of the last crop This proportion has
been exceeded but four times in the last
ten years. The consumption of corn for
eight months is an unusually small one,
which fact is explained by the large amount
of wheat fed TIC stock. The aggregate sold
from farms 10 go beyond county boundaries
is 1852 1874 Gao bu. 1874 per cent. of the crop.
The proportion understandable is a99, 400, 900
bushels, or S2.4 per cent. The values re-
turned for merchantable corn average AIS
per cent, for Understandable, 1856, making
SAC 100000 less than the December valuation
OF the crop, and averages 41.9 per bushel.
The estimated amount of wheat in farm
ers' hands is 75,0o0,000 bushels. or 1863 per
less than last March. The explanation for
this, in large measure, is to be found in
the fact that large quantities have been
fed to hogs and other stock. Returns from
North and South. Dakota, Nebraska. and
Kansas indicate unprecedented exhaustion
of last years crop, correspondents in many
counties reporting not enough on hand for
spring seed and necessary food supply.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Navy De-
partment accepted 315 tons of Haweyized
nickel-steel armor, nearly half of the side
armor for the battle ship Oregon, made by
the Carnegie company, as the result of
trial of eighteen-inch plate at Indian
Head to-day The plate received two shots
from a twelve-inch gun. The first was fired
at velocity of 1,465 feet per second and
smashed to pieces on the face of the plate,
which was scaled little at the point of i'm
pact, but was not cracked. The second shot
had a velocity of 1926 fest. This penetrated
nine inches and then broke up, but it
cracked the plate from top to bottom. The
plate, however, was pronounced to be of
good quality. A. trial was also made of a
small Chase-Gantt plate, composed of a
cast-steel back faced with high chrome
steel, also cast. A six-inch shot was fired
az the plate with velocity of 200 feet.
The shot was broken up, but the plate was
badly cracked and a corner was broken off,
The makers of the plates professed salts

was better than had been attained at Sandy
