THE WORLDS CROPS
European Shortage Not Less Than
Has Been Reported

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The crop
report of the statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture was issued today.
The estimated average yield per acre
Of Irish potatoes is 64.6 bushels, as COM
pared with S6.S bushels last year and
1907 bushels in November, 1895. The
average percent of quality is 81.3. against
S9.2 in November last and 94.S in No
vember, 1889.
Favorable conditions for sowing fSl
crops are reported from most parts of
Europe and the condition of the crops,
as far as shown, is likewise favorable.
The opinion is freely expressed that an
increased area has been sown in wheat,
but this appears to be more as a matter
of inference from the natural tendency
of high prices to produce such an effect
than an observed fact.
The crop reports from India continue
favorable, and on the whole this is true
as to those from Argentina and Austria
liza, but in all these countries the harvest
is too remote to permit any very con-
fident prediction as to the final outcome.
In the case of Argentina it may prove
that more damage has been done by the
locusts and the spring frosts than is yet
apparent.
There is nothing to indicate that the
wheat shortage in Europe is any less
than has been supposed, while the crop
of Manitoba is now represented to be
much below the official estimate issued
in August, and that of the Canadian
northwest territories has also proved
disappointing.

in today's meeting, although it's general

ACHING FOR FAME
Robert Peel the Second Will Fight a
Duel

PARIS, Nov. 10.-The Soir says Sir
Robert Peel will fight duel tomorrow
with Due de c. as a result of a dis
pute at Monte Carlo. Swords have been
decided upon as the weapons. Both men,
the paper adds, are now in Paris in con-
ference with their seconds.
The identity of Sir Roberts adversary
has not been revealed.
Sir Robert Peel is grandson of the
famous Prime Minister of England who
died in 1850 The young man succeeded
to the title as fourth baronet May 3,
1895. He is 80 years of age, and has al
ready made himself talked of on two
continents by his fast life.
The Liberte says the adversary of
Robert Peel is Due Clement de Coel.
Peel has twice visited the United
States. On the first occasion a conf
dence man named McDermott buncoeo
young Peel out of large sum of money
and during the second visit of the young
men to America he renewed an ac-
uuaintance formed with Miss Kittie San
ford of Bridgeport, Ct, granddaughter
of Henry Sanford, president of the Ad-
ans Express company. They had ar
Sanford heard of it, he broke off the
match, denouncing young Peel in very
strong terms.
Sir Robert Peel is reported to have an
income of over $115,000 per annum.
It is understood that the quarrel was
the outcome of an argument over the
justification of the imprisonment OF
Captain Dreyfus, of the French army
who is serving out a sentence of penal
Imprisonment for selling important mil
itary secrets to foreign country.
The name of the duke in the Peel affair
Is Duke Clement Decirella.
IT'S ALL OFF
The duke, Who considered himself in
suited by certain letters from Sir Robert
Peel, came especially from Geneva, anC
sent his seconds, including the famous
French amateur swordsman NJ. Thome-
guex, to call upon Peel. ThomegeuS
recently had so-called duel with swords
with an Italian amateur, Signor Casella
which arose out of a dispute as to tho
starched shirt which the Count of Turin
wore during his recent duel with Prince
Henri Of Orleans. The representatives
of Sir Robert Peel met the dukes Sec
onds this evening at Cercle Artisque et
Literacy, we'll known club in the Rus
volney, and explained that Sir Rober
had since learned that remarks he hat
attributed to the duke had never beel
used, and that he. therefore, regretted
his letters, which We're based upon mis-
statements, and rendered full apology
The dukes seconds thereupon declared
the matter ended.
