THE IRISH POTATO CROP
Is Fully 80 Per Cent Short of
Last Year.
A MUL LTIPLICITY OF CAUSES
Principally Excessive Rain Fall and Failure OF
Germnation-Not Only Is the Crop
Short, But Quality Is Poor

New York, Oct. 20.-Not since 1892 has
the potato crop Of the United States
proved so nearly failure, says the
American Agriculturist in its final re-
view of the yield of 1897 Compared
with the liberal crop of last year, there
is an apparent falling off of nearly 80
per cent in tonnage, and the quality of
the whole is greatly deficient. County
and township returns from all the lead
ing potato growing states to this week
" newspaper show the yield of potatoes
to be f74 ,00e,0 600 bushels against 245,000,-
900 in 1896; 6S,O00O00 in 1885; 1S5ooO,Ooo
in 1894 and only 155,0oO,Oo0 in the short
crop of 1892. The average rae of yield
per acre is placed at GA bushels, taking
the country at large, against Sc BUSH
bushels in 1892.
The reasons for the disaster to the
potato crop of 1887 are about as varied
as a multiplicity of causes could make
them. Standing out with more promi-
nence than any other two factors are
blight and rot as a result of extremes
of weather conditions. Excessive rain
fall failure of termination, later seri-
Gus droughts, rust, insects. etc., have all
been prominently in evidence, though
the complaints of this character are
less general than the first two named.
While the yield in bushels IS small
the quality is almost deficient This IS
true of most, but not all states. The
crop is best in the northwest. Such por-
tions of Canada as make specially of
potatoes, notably Ontario and the mari
time provinces, show a gensral but not

Representing Every State In the Union
Answer the Roll Call.
SECRETARY MAKES HER REPORT
Recommends an Enlargement of the Deacon
ness Work Which Has Already Accom-
plished Much-Urges Adoption
of the Tithing System.

Baltimore, Oct 20.-The sixteenth am
nual meeting of the women's Home
Episcopal church began here this morn
ing i'm the Fayette Street Methodist
Episcopal church, and will last a. week.
About 200 delegates from every state in
the union are present, and it is ex-
pected that business of great import
ance to the society will be transacted at
the present session.
Mrs. Clinton B. Fisk, of New York,
the president of the society, presided.
"A roll call of the delegates was follow
ed by addresses of welcome by Rev. C.
w. Baldwin, presiding elder; the Rev.
C. H. Richardson. pastor of the Fayette
Street Methodist Episcopal church, and
Mrs. A. e. Hopkins, of this city. Mrs.
Charles w. Gallagher responded.
Mrs. R. IS. Rust, of Cincinnati, cor
responding secretary, read her report.
She advocated an enlargement of the
deaconess work in which there are al
ready $780, 900 invested in homes. 1t was
established nine years ago. She said
that the society had raised $2500,000 in
seventeen years, that it had sent 81 1,450,-
900 out to the various branches Of its
work in cash and that it had sent $780,
900 worth of supplies to poor ministers.
She urged increased activity along all
lines and advocated the adoption of the
tithing system i'm accordance with which
the members of the society would set
apart one-lenth of their income for the
church.

calfties in North Alabama, whose au-
thor.ties and people are willing to receive
them, and whose past history, as well
as the certain early appearance of frost,
proves that tbs presence of refugees
there could not possibly be a source of
danger TO any one?
This committee is advised and believes
that the action of the authorities III
maintaining such quarantine is of
doubtful authority under our statutes,
and that it is still more questionable, If
valid, whether, under the law, there is
any other means than force for enforce
ment. The first act authorizing state
quarantine expressly recognizes the
right of local guarantees; and the last
act on the subject of state quarantines,
as il in express recognition of the right
of local authorities to judge for them
selves, and quarantine their neighbors
only to the extent they deem expedient,
prevents the state health offer or board
of health from interfering with local
quarantines, "either to make them more
stringent or lessen their stringency,"
unless with the express consent of the
local authorities.
But whatever may be the law, 1t can
not change the duty which men owe to
God and their neighbors or justify the
present indefensible and unnecessary
state regulations.
The state board of health, which under
the last, and, therefore, controlling act,
is given sole and exclusive jurisdiction
with the consent of the local authori-
tes'' to increase or Ito lessen local quar-
anItine regulations, surely will not delib-
erately inflict upon thousands of citizens
unns cessary hardship and misery by de-
health in allowing citizens of Alabama
to go to r. gions IN North Alabama, where
early frost is sure, and fever has never
spread, or to go to some other places
in this state whose past experience in
every epidemic shows that the fever
cannot spread there when local author
tiles and people are willing to receive
them How many of the state board
of health have consulted as to the ad-
visa bility of the present regulations,
which the press informs US We're advised
by it, we do not know. We do know

SAL|SBURY'S DIPLOMACY
Shown in His Reply to Uncle
Sam
ON MONETARY CONFERENCE
England Cannot Reopen the India Mints viii
Consider Any Other Proposition
Germany Remains Quiet.

London, Oct. 20.-Lord Salisbury to-
night sent to Ambassador Hay the reply
of the British government to the pro-
posals of the American bimetallic special
commission, headed by Senator VOL
cott. 1t is a automatically worded
note.
His lordsh.p says that the government
of Grsat Britain is not able to reopen the
India mints at present. He regrets the
inability ito accede to the proposals Of
the American commissioners, Great
Britain having as great an interest as
the United States and France in secur-
ing a stable paper exchange for god
and silver and an enlarged use of silver.
Under these circumstances, continues
Lord Salisbury the British government
does not see the desirabil,ty of an in
ternational monetary conference. but will
be pleased to consider any other practi-
cable suggestions from the United
States.
Lord Salisbury encloses with the note
a copy of the statement of Sir J. West
land, head of the financial department
Of India, which was under discussion at
the meeting of the cabinet council last
Saturday and which takes strong
grounds against the re-opening of ths
India mint.
Senator Wolcott is not in London this
evening. Ambassador Andrew White
came from Berlin last Saturday. He
has avoided publicity, but has had sew
eral conferences with Senator Wolcott.
i'm the course of an interview with the
correspondent of the Associated Press,
Mr.. White said that Germany's action
as to bimetallism will depend upon Eng
lands. Discussing the possibility of
tariff war, Mr.. White said:
IT do not believe that Germany will
inaugurate a tariff war with the United
States. The German press and many
German statesmen have been very Bit
ter against the Dingley law, but l think
they are now beginning to realize that
an increased prosperity will enable the
United States to buy as much as under
the lower tariff

THE LONG AND SHORT TERM CONTEST
An Ordinance to Prohibit the Injury Of
Sidewalks by Reckless Draymen-yer-
bal Petitioners Had Inning.
Liverymen Make a Kick.

The city council came to the rescue cf
the public schools last night. The sum
of $1,000 was appropriated to assist in
their support for the month ending FRI
day at o'clock.
Soon after the meeting was called to-
order, Mayor Evans called Alderman
Altman to the chair and took a lively
hand in affairs. He made gallant
fight for the public schools and won.
He came to his feet several times to
answer objections, substitutes were Of
fered and it looked for awhile as though
the request for an appropriation was
doomed to defeat. Finally, however, ID
went through with the following nen-
bers voting in the negative: Aldermen
Kerr, Mcknight, Drennen and Villa ms.
Alderman Drennens afterwards ex-
planned his vote, saying that he was not
opposed to aiding the schools. but in
tended to offer as a substitute that the
city loan the schools $1,000.
The following members were presents
I4ynag41, Wheeler, RAINBOW, Kerr, ASH
ford, Mcknight, Drennen, Williams,
Graham Hamilton, Hentschel, Altman,
and Melgalan.
The public school question was first
broached by Mayor Evans under the
head of new business.
II desire to ask of the board of al
dsrmen an appropriation of $1,000 for the
public schools to meet the expenses of
the month ending Friday at 2 O'clock
said the mayor.
''The pay rolls have been cut from
1900 to 81, 800. 1t is expected that $1,000
will be paid for tuition by Friday and
thsre is not a dollar of public money
in sight If this donation is not made
the schools will have to close Friday at
2 O'Clock.
This statement rather startled the
board, ana the mayor continued: we
can't afford to rid ourselves of thesa pub
tic schools Don't tell me you haven't
got the money, for you have got 1t. You
may talk to me until doomsday about
there being danger of another smallpox
scare You may say we are in danger
