SOUTH DAkOTA'S CROP.
Estimate Makes 1t Eight Million Bushels
Less Than Last Year.

Estimate Makes 1t Eight Million Bushels
Less Than Last Year.
ABERDEEN. S. D., Aug. 13.-S. r.
Jumpor, president of the First National
bank, has made his annual estimate,
based on private advices from all parts
of the state, of the wheat yield Of
South Dakota. He makes the acreage
1850, 900 and average yield so bushels
per acre, or a total yield of 22.s4O, 900
bushels. From this should be deducted
5 per cent, destroyed by numerous and
destructive storms of wind and hail,
which have been unusually severe this
summer, and the total yield of the state
amounts to 81, ,233, 900 bushels, or over
5000, 900 less than last year. The crop
is, he says, very much like that Of 1891
which was very promising when ready
for the reaper, but sadly disappointing
as it came from the thresher. Corn,
potatoes, hay and all kinds Of roots are
the best the state has ever raised. Oats,
barley and fax are fair.

GREAT BARBARITY
The Conduct of japanese in For.
mOSa Worse Than Turks in
Armenia.
Trying to Exterminate the Popu-
lation, So There Shall Be No
Resistance.
Turkish Troops Again Defeated
by the Insurgents in
Crete.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 13-From far
Formosa, where for upwards of a year
Japanese troops have been vainly striv-
ing to crush out the seeds of postbellum
opposition to Japan, comes
story which for barbarous cruelty and
defiant violation of all ethics of ci i--iliZa-
tion has fortunately few parallels in
history even of the savage races of the
world.
The terrible tale of rapine, murder
and wanton cruelty reached here by
the steamer Empress of Japan and
fully bears out the statement on the sit
uation in Formosa given publicity by
the Rev. DIR. Mackay ON his return to
that island six months ago. Other
equally credible correspondents are now
the witnesses against the Japanese.
The burden of their arraignment is
that, seeing neither fame nor profit to
be gained in the subjugation Of the
Formosans by the arts Of modern war
fare recognized as legitimate by civilized
nations, the japanese troops sent to the
island have
Embarked In . Crusade Of Blood,
their object being to crush out all signs
of discomfort by, as far as possible, ex-
terminating the native population. In
this campaign there were no foreign
powers to make protest, no foreign press
representatives to herald to the world
the atrocities, the telling of which would
bring upon Japan the contempt of all
enlightened people.
Says the Tainanfu representative Of
the China mail:
LAS result the policy of extermina-
tion has been zealously pursued from
the beginning Of the campaign and
with the destruction of their crops, the
burning of their villages, the desecra.
tion of the graves of their. loved ones,
the violation of their wives and daugh-
tiers and the butchery of their innocent
children, the people are driven to the
last expedients Of desperation"

10 TRUTH IN 1T.

Report Of Accord Among the Powers Over
Turkish Matters Denied.
LONDON, Aug. 13. 1t is semi-officially
stated that there is no truth in the re-
port published by the Daily Chronicle
of this city that Great Britain and Rus
sia are on the point of reaching an
agreement to save both Armenia and
Crete from Turkish oppression without
endangering the peace Of Europe, which
agreement, it was added, would involve
the presence Of Russian army in Ar
menia and the British feet at Crete to
guarantee Turkish compliance with the
Turkish terms Of the agreement. 1t is
stated on the other hand that there is
great discord among the powers as to
the measures which should be adopted
in regard to Crete and Russia, it is
further asserted, is showing marked
disinclination to allow great pressure to
be brought to bear upon the sultan.

Persistent RumOrs That the Ma

New YORK, Aug. l3.-The interest
attached to the second meeting of the
national Democratic committee was in
creased by persistent rumOrs that the
members would take action to remove
from the committee those men whose
absence was alleged to accentuate their
objections to the national ticket and

proxy, said:
1t is not true that petition was
presented for the removal of Mr.. Shee-
han, or for that matter the removal OF
any of the gentlemen mentioned. Mr..
Sheehan gave me his proxy, and he
was only one of eight or ten other
national committeeman who adopted
the same course.
What is known as the 'Brien New
York faction has petition of the kind
prepared, but when they found that as
proxy was voting on all questions
and taking an active part in the cam
paign SO far, they did not present it.
Tillman Defended Them.
Senator Ben Tillman was another de-
fender Of the absent committeeman,
whose course is being criticized. he
said: The talk is bOsh. l don't be-
lieve any committeeman will refuse to
take part in the campaign. Every man
on the committee is a man of honor and
if he could not conscientiously serve he
would resign. The national committee

right to take any action

claims, is not in sympathy with Mr..

MILLS SHUT DOWN.

Six Hundred Men Thrown Out Of Employ
ment at the Head Of the Lakes.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Aug. l3.-As
a result of the poor market for lumber,
every saw mill at the head Of the lakes
is shut down. This will throw about
600 men out of employment. The lum-
Der cut at the mills this year has
been the lightest for a, num-
ber of years and this, it is said, will
have the effect Of making the timber
cut in the woods very light this winter.

that are tied up.

treatment of the Winder's,

"In the United States court
