near Yarmouth. Ii is believed il is the
one from which the fishing smack Wild

Nobody seems able To satisfactorily ac-,
count for the disaster. Some of the sur
vivors bitterly arraigned the officers Of the
vessel which ran down the Elbe. 1t is
claimed that if she had stood by many
lives would have been saved. Whether
this claim is just can only be decided by a
court of inquiry.
some believe that even another steamer
has foundered. This opinion is based on
the fact that a Ramsgate lifeboat which
nut to sea in answer To signals OF distress.
has not returned. 1t is believed that the
lifeboat was los: together with the steam

Azonia was branded on the oars OF a boat

Mexico will not listen to the proper extent

impression that Mexico Will continue To

CROPS OF SOUTH DAkOr,
Estimates of the statistician DO No. A..
with Former Figures -

The advanced sheets showing tho &
estimates by the new Government st1""''
ticlan contain some surprises for sind,
in this line. and either show that all cI.i..S
that Dakota farmers are commencing
diversity their cropS-are false. or else w
stati>tician making them does not ora'
the true situation. The area sown to wb..I,
in 1894 is given as exactly identica, wi,,
that sown IN 1898. viz: 2.4li. PSI acres
while the yield for 1894 is set as l+q3i ~,
bushels, or - per cent. less than in lS93. II
is a well known fact among millers. clio.
yator men and private parties who bayo
carefully made estimates that the cron 90
1874 wheat did not exceed to the mu,sida
l0.0D0.0W bushels. and most estimates hayo
fallen considerably below that numher
But this j. not the only mistake that ba,
crept into the Government report. Thera
is scarcely a locality in Dakota whera
farmers do not report that in 1894 the aero.
age planted to corn was increased. and in
some localities this increase was verr
great. But the Government figures show
Just the reverse. The report of 1893 showed
4 total area of Ntj.fI2 acres, or consider.
ably less than half. while the yield for 1892
is given a. 20.jll 1856 bushels. and in 80,
as 1,i9).34j bushels. or about one-four
tecuth the quantity of the year before.
From these figures ii would appear u,
the farmers raised rs many acres of wbeTst
in south Dakota in 1893 as in 1894. and less
than half ,hc acreage of corn. while the
facts are that for four years past farmers
have been turning their efforts towards d.
NersItication, and there is no question If
doub, but that in ls9i the acreage of corn
in South Dakota was increased fully "a
per cent. While that planted to wheat was
decreased.
The report is a disappointment to tie
person compiling it. and it is bound to in.
jure the state some. coming as it does from
