Government Engineers Investigating Its
Probable Effsct on Lake Levels.
CHICAGO, Aug 1.-THE United States
government is making an investigation
of the drainage channel. On the result
of the inquiry which has been quietly set
on foot much depends, for II, as asserted
by some. the great drainage ditch threat
ems to lower the water level Of Lake Mich
igan and consequently in the other lakes,
together with the Detroit river, the st.
Clair FLATS" and the harbors Of the Lake
ports there will undoubted by serious
trouble.
The commission is composed Of General
O. M. Poe, U. s. A., of Detroit; Major
Ruffner, U. s. A, Of Buffalo, and Major
Marshall, United States engineers corps,
Of Chicago, and was appointed by the
secretary Of war on application Of the
Lake Carriers association. This organi-
cation, composed largely Of Cleveland
vessel owners, became imbued with the
idea that the drainage canal would lower
the levels, destroy the harbors and make
the st. Clair fats impossible for vessels.

SITUATION EXAGGERATED.
Bayle's Report to the Governor on the
Spring Valley Trouble.

Bayle's Repart to the Governor on the
Spring Valley Trouble.
SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 10-Reports from
Spring Valley are that the town is peace
full. Just how long the situation will re.
main peaceful cannot be told. Superin-
tendent Dalzell, of the coal mines at that
point, has stated that If any further
trouble arises he will discharge every
italian miner employed, aud will then
employ none but colored workmen, or
white men Of this country. He declares
himself to have had his fill of foreign Ia
borers of low birth, and will steer clear
of that element in the future. Colonel
H. E. Bayle, assistant adjutant general
I. N. g., who made a thorough investiga-
ton of the situation at Spring Valley, has
made his report to Governor Altgeld.
He states that the situation was one of
local character and grossly exaggerated
by incendiary press dispatches sent from
that point to Chicago papers, which
aroused public feeling in Cook county
and other portions Of the state to degree
Of war, and had the matter continued
bloody civil war would in all probability
have ensued. AS it was the matter could
have been controlled at any time by the
mayor had the correspondents been more
practical in their dispatches. The origi-
nal trouble was caused by a small fight
between negro and an Italian in which
other Italians came to the rescue of their
brother and severely beat up several COL
ored miners who took hand in the fight.
Had the town marshal arrested all vio-
lators of the peace and had them roundly
fined in the local courts the matter would
not have occasioned the trouble it did.
George Schilling, secretary of tho bureau
of labor statistics, who had also been sent
to Spring Valley to investigate the mat
ter, has wired the governor as follows:
1.-THE negroes have gone to work with
the whites this morning. Everything
quiet. Shall l stay longer?" Governor
Altgeld replied that he could use his own
judgment about remaining there any
longer During the day Mayor Delmargo
wired that the miners had started to work
and the colored miners were returning to
town and no further trouble was appre-
hended. The situation was we'll in his
hands and he was amply provided to
control the same.

but In most sections 1t promises to be
above the average.
Potatoes are growing finely and the
prospects are favorable for the largest
yield in years, as an acreage planted
was probably never as great as the
present season. Oats are harvested In
all extent the northern counties and
those threshed are generally turning
out better than was expected. The
frequent rains have delayed the
threshers and in many cases the
stacked grain is heating badly.
Barley is proving one Of the best crops
of the season. Buckwheat Is also a
remarkably fine crop and an unusually
large acreage has been sown to that
cereal. Millet shows heavy growth
since the rain and this will go far
towards helping out the short hay crop.
Pastures are considerably improved
which is causing an increase in the
milk supply. A very few find it nee
essary to feed cows, but the number of
such are decreasing. Some tobacco
has been cut but the crop is still grow
ing and looks exceptionally fine.
Garden truck of all kinds will be UNI
usually plentiful and of good quality.
But little fall blowing has yet been
done as the farmers are busy stacking
and threshing. The general tone of
correspondents reports are more cheer
full than upon any previous week this
season, and unless frosts are unusually
early, the season will prove a prosper
GUS one to the Wisconsin farmer in
all except short hay crop.
