. shortage.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Not since 1892
has the potato crop OF the United
States proved so nearly failure, says
the American Agriculturist in its final
report of the yield of 1897. Compared
with the liberal crop of last year, there
is an apparent falling of Of nearly 80
per cent in tonnage, and the quality
Of the whole is greatly deficient.
County and township returns from all
the leading potato growing states
show the yield Of potatoes to be l74,-
600, 200 bushels. against a45, 1000, 600
bushels in 1896. The average rate Of
yield per acre Is placed at sixty.four
bushels, taking the country st large,
against eighty-six bushels in 1895.
The principal reasons for disaster to
the crop are blight and rot, n : result
Of extremes Of weather conditions.

mission of the case already fought to
stand, and the case on the writ of
certiorari ought to remain for this
term Of court. They agreed that the
matter before Judge spurrier had
been handled properly. Later Judge
Spurrier issued an order. which was
served on G.. L. Dobsop, secretary OF

tary OF state to wholly disregard"
the nomination papers filed by the
Weeks faction. The court says their
