THE RI SSIAN GRAIN CROP.

Ohicla. Info rmat' on Furnished by tho
American Consul at Odessa.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-More de-
tailed information than has heretofore
been obtainable concerning the condi.
ton of the Russian grain crop is con.
tanned in a report On the subject to the
state department from United States
Consul Heenan at Odessa. He says the
crops over an extensive area have failed.
The beginning of the trouble was the
dry weather causing the failure of half
the wheat sown. Then came the wet
test season known in years and hail de-
stroyed both ripe and unripe grain. In
large areas no effort was made to[har.
vest. The yield is from four to six
bushels per acre for winter and spring.
Barley is d~iscolored and underweight.
Rye is much damaged and will be under
the average crop. Oats alone are in
favorable condition.
Mr.. Heenan says that but little wheat
will be shipped from Russia during the
season of 1S97-9S for the simple reason
that there is little available tor export.
The failure of the wheat crops i'll
Austro-H Hungary, Roumania and Bull
garia has brought buyers into Russia
from these countries and the wheat will
go to them by rail. How much of this
wheat Russia can afford to let go is a
| question. While hints are thrown out
that the export of cereals may be alto
gether prohibited, the consul believes
| these have no foundation, and that the
Russian government will never again
make the mistake it did in the famine
year of prohibiting exports.

The Rabbit Problem Solved.

The vexed question of the extermi,
nation of the Australian rabbit, which
has hitherto constituted the chief
problem that has confronted every an
tipodean administration, has at length
received a satisfactory solution. There
is no longer any necessity for invoking
the services of great scientists such
as the late Dr. Pasteur and Professor
Koch to devise means for their exter-
mination, for the invention of the cold
storage rooms on board ship has led to
the Dummies being exported in re-
frigerated condition to the omnivor-
Gus market of the mother country.
Rabbit pie is favorite dish in the
United Kingdom, and the rabbit which
could not be successfully canned for

at when the weekly-mcre often the
monthly-mail was delivered.
One rainy afternoon after the mail
had come in, Arthur Lyons went up to
get the ever-welcome letters and pa
pers from the east
While he was leaning against the
damp bar waiting for the man behind
it to look over the addresses of the
parcels that had come by post, he felt
a heavy hand on his shoulder, and at
the same time he heard Red Snively
saying, in a hooking, bantering tone
that meant mischief:
Come. Lyons. join me and We'll
drink to the health of the beauty of
Fairplay."
As Arthur shook the fellows huge
hand from his shoulder, he said, very
quietly:
II do not drink"
You don't, eh?" cnecred Red Snive-
ly
II do not
Then I'll drink for two"
The barkeeper handed Red Snively
bottle and a glass. Half filing the
latter, he raised it toward his lips but,
stopping as if he had suddenly changed
his mind, he shouted, with an oath:
mo gentleman ever drinks alone"'
and with this he threw the contents OF
the glass into Arthur Lyons face
The unexected explosion of bomb
could not have caused greater con-
sternatiOn than did this unwarranted
act. Men leaped from the tables and
sought places of safety, for such an in
suit they felt must be followed by i'm
mediate shooting.
Red Snively expected to use his pis-
tol, for he drew it, but before he
could fire, Arthur Lyons seized the
arm that held the pistol with his left
hand, and with his right he planted a
blow between the ruffian's red eyes
that caused him to fall as If a bullet
had been sent through his brain.
No more fighting here" shouted a
number of men, rushing in between
Arthur and the man whom the land
lord of the Great Western was helping
from the MOOT. IL there W Dc
shootin let it be done fair and square
outside under the rules of the code, and
not in a crowded bar whar innocent
men may get popped over"
81 agree to that! roared Red Snive-
ly. who had now recovered himself
Landlord, you'll act as my second
"Tll do that and take your place If
you go down" replied the lanlord, who
was only little less of brute than the
man he was championing.
And I'll act for this gentleman"
said tall man, who had been sitting
unnoticed since he reached the place,
a few hours before. with the mail-car-
rier He had long, black beard, his
hat was slouched. and his coat collar
turned up so that but little of his face
could be seen, but there was that in
his voice and bearing that convinced
the lookers-on that he was no ordinary
person.
AS the stranger took his place be-
side Arthur. who acknowledged the
offer by a courteous bow, he drew from
