PANIC IN A CHURCH.
4 Five-faaaEei1 Pound CIoci. weight
Crashes ThrouEh 'Ehree Floors of
ske Building.

MILWAUKEE,. Oct. 1S-A 500-pound
clock weight crashed through three
floors Of ST. HeGwig's Catholic church
this afternoon. The church was
crowded at the time, and a panic en-
sued, in which no one was injured.
St. Hedwig's is Polish Roman
Catholic church. Archbishop Kaiser
was administering the sacrament of
confirmation at the time and the church
was crowded. There were over 1000
present. The tower is 1870 feet high
and the weight was suspended at Il
height Of 40 feet. The tower covers
the entrance to the edifce. The ssrv-
ices had been in progress for some time,
and, fortunately, there were no people
passing in or out
vt few minutes after 4. the serv-
ices were brought TO an end by a ter
ribie crash in the belfry. 1t seemed
to those in the church that the tower
was falling. The first crash was fol-
lowed by q second in an instant, then
there came "a third. The big weight
had fallen through the three floors
and into the entry. It had happened
so quickly that the congregation
could hardly gasp for breath until it
had reached the ground floor. People
began to rush from the edifice; women
screamed and men turned pale with
fright The priests. realizing the
danger, called on the people to pre-
serve order and to leave the church
quietly. They were soon assured by
those near the door that the danger
was past They quoted down, and the
building was emptied without serious
accident

THEY VISIT WATSON.
Popuiist Misunderstanding of I'M

THOMPSON, Ca, Oct. 1S.-The
much-heralded trip of Committeeman
Reed and Washburn eliminated at
Thompson at noon today, where they
were met and driven at once TO the
home of Mr.. Watson. Tonight, they
were seen in company with Mr.. Watson
at his home and Mr.. Reed said:
Mr.. Washburn and 1 will return to
Atlanta tomorrow, and if there is any
statement that we desire to make to
the public we will make it there.
though 1 do not know thai there will
be any"
Mr. Washburn added:
1.-The newspapers seem disposed to
attach a significance to our visit to
Mr.. Watson that is hardly justified by
the circumstances. There has just
been held a meeting of our national
executive committee at Chicago. at
which was issued an address to the
public bearing on the campaign. 1t
seems most reasonable that after such
action a subcommittee should come
to report to our candidate. who was
not present at the meeting, all that
transpires there"
Concerning Mr.. Watson's letter in
reply to his notification, they would
say nothing at all. The statements
that have been made, however, about
Mr.. Washburn having the letter, were
erroneous at Mr.. Watson said yester-
day that he mailed it himself to Chair
man Butler at Washington. Mr.. Wat
son has declined all along to say any,
thing concerning it's contents, further
than to intimate that it contained an
argument of his side of the case in
opposition to the policy of fusion, that
had been pursued by Chairman Butler.

MADRID. Oct. 1S.-The Imparciaf
says that Spain should demand from
the United States an explanation for
the dispatch from Washington pub
lished by the New Y0ri. Herald, to the
effect that unless Spain ends the war
in Cuba before January first, President
Cleveland will recognize the independ-
ence of the insurgents. The Impartial
adds that the neutrality observed at
the ports of the United States is an
od:oGs fiction. and that there is a
continual conniving at f1t5usteriag.
It says the United States coEsui-gea
eral at Havana protected a Spanish de-
serter at Havana and concludes:
IF Spain should remain alone in a
conflict with the United States. Span
iards, by their own efforts, will know
how to mark the difference between
the noble defenders Of their own prop
erty and the vile frafTickers at Wash

CROP CONDITIONS.
Agricultural Department Makes "a
Report From Che October Returns.


WASHINGTON, ,. c., Oct. 1S.-The
agricultural department. from the
October returns, makes the following
report:
Crop eonditions:-A feature of the
present outlook, encouraging to the
producer, is the prospective shortage
of the European crop. In Germany, a
heavy producer OF potatoes, not more
than half crop is likely. and with
less heavy shortages in other states,
an increased demand for export trade
viii probably arise.
A general decline in condition Of
sugar cane is shown.
In Louisiana, the chief producing
state, only about half a crop is indi-
Gated and less than that in Texas and
Arkansas, while the condition in
Georgia is far below the normal. Dry
weather is cited as the cause of the
shortage.
There is a decided falling off in con-
dition of rice from 1850 TO 6S.6. The
drought has been the principal cause
of the condition.
OF the wheat market in Great
Britain, the European agent of the
department writes: Great Britain is
the principal outlet of the superfuous
wheat of the world, and her markets
during the past month have presented
a study of peculiar interest and value.
It was known at tne opening of the
month that the Russian and American
crops were short. There was Dracti-
cally nothing available from other ex-
porting countries, except few car
goes of last seasons wheat from
Argentina, and stocks were lower both
in Great Britain and on the continent
The Russians declined to sell. except
at enhanced prices. and their ship
nents fell far behind the average for
the tirne of year. The only source OF
supply was the United States. and it
might naturally have been expected we
would reap the benefit - the situation
by obtaining enhanced price. Our
financial position appears. however. to
have precluded our taking fun advant-
age Of the situation, and our new
wheat came forward in great duanti-
ties. The month ends with improve
ment of TO cents a busiel. but 1t is
general opinion of the members of the
grain trade i'll London and Liver
pool that the advance might have been
doubled and brought about earlier had
the United States been in position to
hold back wheat. 1t is certain that the
harvest OF the current year win see no
surplus. and il is reasonable to suppose
that we shall see no further reduction
of wheat areas such as have been
observable in the records of the last
few years"
