CROPS IN BAD SHAPE.
Agricultural Department. Reports
General Decline In Condition.

Reports TO the Agricultural Depart
ment show a decline In the csnditions Of
all the principal crops, except oata, rye
and barley. The detailed summary shows
widespread reduction In the condition
of potatoes. due largely to drought Com
plants Of potato rot come from the
Northern and more Southern New Eng
land States, New York, several of the
States adjoining the great lakes and Mis-
souri, and Kansas. The losses from leaf
blight and insects appear to have been
exceptionally light. Ihe most serious
complaint of the potatogrower this year
is the low price Of the product, particu-
larly in the Northwest. The report from
the departments agent for Wisconsin and
Minnesota represents that in the latter
State the tubers do not pay for digging" !"
He says that the yield is enormous Sweet
potatoes have suffered quite seriously
from lack of rain and their condition has
been materially reduced in many States.
II. seven States it has fallen from 10 to
% points.
The condition of tobacco declined over
2 points. In Ohio, where condition il the
lowest, something over half crop il ex-
pected, and the same may be said of
Maryland and Virginia Continued
drought. hot weather and high winds of
September. causing premature ripening
and dropping, have resulted in a loss of
over 2 points in the average condition of
apples. The greatest loss occurred in
the central West, where the crop was
abundant. /. is thought both the eating
and keeping quality of the fruit has been
much impaired and in many sections a
tendency to rot is already noted The
average condition now stands at I0.6-
The general conclusion in the British
cereal trade that the wheat harvest of
the world for 1895 is about 100000
bushels less than that Of 1894 is an
nounced in the report of the European
agent of the Agricultural Department for
October The estimates of this seasons
wheat crop in the United Kingdom vary
from % to ~ bushels an acre. Both in
Great Britain and on the continent the
wheat was harvested in snch favorable
condition as to assure high percentage
of -four.
Duluth reports say that there is no
doubt that Northwestern farmers are
holding back their wheat on account of
low prices prevailing and marketing their
coarse grain instead. For several days
past the receipts of wheat have fallen be-
low those of last year. Receivers say
that offerings are daily growing lighter.
and the daily sales there support the
statement. On the other hand, there has
been more than corresponding increase
in coarse grains, though of course the
daily reports of car inspection do not show
as large total for all grain receipts

Michiran Presbyterian synod.


Michigan synod opened at Adrian
Thursday morning with devotions led by
Rev. J. NJ Fulton, Grand Rapids. 1t
was the general sentiment that the time
had arrived when synods should assume
control of home mission work. Overtures
were received from Saginaw looking to
synodical conference in 1896 on missions
and for cooperation in completing the
5000, 900 endowment for Alma College,
recommending the churches assuming lOO
scholarships at $500 each. The next
synod will meet with Westminster
Church, Detroit. The proposed phase OF
synodical self support was finally re-
ferred to the various Presbyteries. The
Rev. III. S. Jordan, of Lansing, read the
report on ministerial education The
board had received in the last year 81 ,641,
which was far below the requirements.
The Rev. w. Mclean, of Croswell, read a
lengthy paper on the duties of ministers.
The Rev. w. w. Carson, of Detroit, gave
his report on aid for colleges. There was
a lack of funds. The sum of S2,139 had
been contributed in the last year. The
appended resolution provided the second
Sabbath in January be set apart for ser
mons on Christian education and collec-
tions for the purpose. The Rev. +. q.
Elicit read his narrative of the state of
religion in the synod. One of the inter
estng incidents of the session was the
ordination of Maj. J. ii. Cole, an evan
gelst widely known in Chicago and the
West

LANDING OF MARINES.
Great Britain Also Reported to Have
Interfered in Korea.


Information of the formidable uprising
in Korea, resulting in the disappearance
and probable death of the Queen, and the
landing Of military forces BY the United
States and European powers, has been
received by Minister Kurino of Japan
from the foreign Office at Tokyo 1t is
quite sensational, indicating the landing
of marines by Russian, the United States
and probably Great Britain
The latest dispatch to Minister kurinO
states that a force Of Russian marines,
forty in number, has been landed Thus
far they have confined themselves to
guarding the Russian legation at Seoul.
United States marines were landed from
the Yorktown to the number of sixteen.
1t is believed also that British marines
have been landed. Besides these the
Japanese have considerable force of
soldiers at Seoul who have been preserv-
ing order.
The dispatches come from Tokyo and
communicate the substance of dispatches
received from Gen. Muira, the Japanese
envoy at Seuol. 1t appears from these
dispatches that the trouble had IFS in
ception through the Queens dislike of the
newly organized soldiers of Korea The
old soldiers had the primitive equipment
OF the far East, but with the progress of
Japanese influence in Korea two bat
talions of Korean troops were organized
on modern methods. each battalion num-
bered GOO men, armed with modern weap-
ons. They were well drilled and oificered.
When the Queen showed her disfavor
toward these new troops they appealed
10 the Tai Won Kun, a powerful chief,
who has long been at cmnity with the
Queen. He accepted the leadership of
the new troops, and at the head of one
battalion entered the Queens palace.
The native soldiers fled from the palace.
The Tokyo dispatches do not state specif-
ically what became of the Queen, further
than that she has disappeared and can
not be located

will Fill the Industrial, Homes.

The industrial homes at Adrian and
Lansing are liable to be taxed to their
utmost capacity. The Attorney General
filed an opinion that under the compulsory
education law of last winter children be-
tween the ages of and 16 years can be
sent TO those institutions for truancy.
The maximum term of imprisonment is
ten yeaJs. Under the statute which the
new law repealed no child under IL years
old could be so committed.

the history of the neighborhood and the

the researches with zest, and all OF the
old pioneers are being interviewed. In
several districts the scholars have trav-
eled several miles to-ascertain facts con-
nected with the early settlement of the
locality. Already much material has been
collected, and some of the incidents from
real life are more interesting than the ere

SMALLPOX and Typhoid.

The State Board of Health held its
quarterly meeting. Secretary Baker re-
ported that during the quarter there were
new outbreaks of smallpox at Charleston.
Bedford, Marshall and Battle Greek; and
that the disease is still prevalent at Bat
tie Creek, Bedford and Detroit. In the
four new outbreaks, there were six cases
and three deaths. Since jan there have
been in the State 195 cases and 40 deaths.
This subject is of unusual Importance
nov, as this is the season when smallpox
usually begins to spread, reaching its
maximum in May. DIR. Baker recon-
mends vaccination for all persons who
have not been successfully vaccinated
within five years. Typhoid fever has been
more than usually prevalent during the
quarter. 2G0 new outbreaks being acted
upon. This is 10J more than for the same
quarter last year. This disease is most
prevalent during October, when the water
in wells is the lowest, and all drinking
water should be boiled.

Many Defects Fouud in the New Law.

Only four hunters licenses have rs yet
been issued in Calhoun County. The new
law seems to be defective in one thing.
The County Clerk docs not keep any
record of the names of those persons 10
whom he issues the licenses. and the law
has no provision that he should. which is
an important omission, as any person can
easily make himself out license. and it
would be hard for the Clerk to prove that
it was not regularly issued. Again the
license can be used by several hunters,
as the Clerk does not know to whom he
issued it. There seems 10 be a number
of defects in the new law.
