The largest yield of oats, so far as we [

The largest yield OF oats, so far as we
are aware of, is It's and a fraction
bushels raised by VIM. Wilke, and I'll
bushels raised by M. Sullivan in 1883,
we believe, on their farms just north of
town. The former yield was an average
for II acres and the latter an average
for 20 acres. This phenomenal yield
is on basis of 80 lbs to the bushel.
There were also some very heavy yields
reported this year, as John Ball is said
to have raised 3.4O5 bushels ON %
acres, making an average of over 159
bushels to the acre, and Sam Dunlap's
1O8 acres averaged oyer 125 bushels per
acre. We therefore believe that the
made lands of Skagit county cannot be
surpassed, when it comes to raising
oats, by any portion of the known
globe.-Puget Sound Mail.

Complicated Ejectment Suit.

An interesting suit for ejectment
was on trial in the Federal court yes
terday before Judge Ballinger, of Pert.
land. who occupied the bench in place
of Judge Hanford. The suit was
brought by Mrs. Goldsborough, the
widow Of H. A. Goldsborough, against
David McKinlay for the possession of
property at the corner of Fifth avenue
south and Washington street. The
lots in question were sold by Mayn ard
to Goldsboreugh, Triton & Mason, in
1856. Two years later they in turn
sold the lots to Charles Terry, who
paid 500 in cash. In 1871 Terry sold
to Archie Fox, who afterwards sold to
McKinlay. From the evidence it ap-
pears that during his life Goldsberough
set up no claim to the property, which
his widow now claims on the ground
of defect in the title made by him to
Terry thirty-seven years ago. The
testimony was not quite concluded
yesterday. The case will probably be
argued and submitted this forenoon
P.-I. 22nd.
The Goldsborough above mentioned
took up the donation claim adjoining
that OF David Shelton in 1854, but sold
his claim to Mcdonald and Hunt1ey,
and in the latter part of the sos went
to Washington where he secured a
government clerkship. He afterwards
married and later, died about three
years ago.

GEN. LEE TREATED WELL.
Our Consul at Havana Is Not De-
MED Access to American
Prisoners.
Copyrighted, 1896. by the Associated Press.

Copyrighted, 1885, by the Associated Press.
Havana, Sept. 19.-Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
the United States consul-general here,
was asked today by a representative of
the Associated press about the widely cir
culated reports in some of the American
newspapers charging Gen. Weyler with
having had a notice posted at Las Ca
banes directing that he Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee should be arrested and detained
there it he visited that fortress.
Gen Lee was also questioned about
statements frequently made in the news
papers of the United States that he
was not permitted to visit the American
prisoners lncarcerated at forts near Ha
vana and that therefore he could not
keep himself informed as to the health
and condition of these prisoners.
"A few days after my arrival at Ha-
vana," said Gen. Lee, cat the invitation
of my predecessor, Mr.. Williams, | ac-
companied him on visit to the Com
petitor prisoners confined at Las Cabanes
Some days later | heard that it was
against the regulati tons to allow foreign
,, ars to visit military forts at this
time. even on visitors day, as it
! is called and that the officer commanding
at Las Cabanes had been reprimanded
by Gen. Wyler for allowing me to make
| the said visit. The officer in question Of
fered IS an excuse that his subordinate
CIilCCIS Oh uuly dl the SdI0S uIu IOI
know me, but supposed [ was one of the
visitors entitled to enter the fort on Wis
itors' day.
From abundant caution and in order
to prevent any occurrence of that sort
in future, the commanding officer at
Las Cabanes, / heard, had a notice post
ed in one of the guardrooms directing
his officers to arrest and detain
if l should again attempt to
enter the fort. When ] heard
| of this notice [ at once called
Gen. Weyler's notice to it and he very
promptly had it removed. I am informed
that he reprimanded the officer who had it
posted.
LAS to the statements that l am not
allowed 10 see the American prisoners
and that the prohibition does not apply
to the consuls of other countries, [ de-
sire to say that all such statements are
incorrect. /, Or my representative, can
see any or all the American prisoners at
any time that is desirable to do So"
