der1y scenes.
VIENNA Oct. 20.-On the assembling OF
the Unterhaus today after last nights dis
orderly proceedings, the Chamber began
the discussion of a series of motions to
impeach the members Of the cabinet for an
alleged violation Of their ministerial powers
by the issuance Of decree on June % last
authorizing the official use of the Czech
language in Bohemia. Dr. Herold inter
vered with a motion to shelve the entire
discussion. In supporting this proposal he
said:
"A great historical combat is proceeding
at the moment In which all the people Of
Austria are lighting for equal rights as op-
posed TO the supremacy of the Germans.
Obstruction will not win the day, but even
should it ultimately prevail the Bohemian
people would survive such victory. In
the interest of the Bohemans and the cause
OF freedom and legality, the Czechs will not
support the impeachment proceedings"
After ten hours sitting the Unterhaus,
by a vote of l6l to l4l, adopted DR..
Herolds motion to shelve the entire discus
sion. The house then adjourned.
The scenes in the Un;erhaus last night and
during the small hours this morning were
simply disgraceful. The opposition belabored
the desks with heavy rulers and slammed
the desk lids. When a group of Czechs ad-
vanced and endeavored to seize the rulers and
to hold the desk lids, there was free fight
for the lids, which were tom off and used as
weapons. The trouble arose because Dr.
Abramoyitsch insisted in Qassing to the
orders of the day, which was declared to be
contrary TO the rules of the house The crisis
is regarded as most serious. Count Goluch-
chi president OF the council OF ministers, and
Austro-Hungarian minister of foreign affairs
has gone to Buda Pesth to consult with the
emperor on the measures to be adopted.

SHORTAGE IN THE POTATO CROP.
Tubcrs Are of Poor Quality and the
Yield is Small.

lIe1u Is SbtHIt
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Not since 1892 has
the potato crop of the United States provtd
so nearly a failure, says the American
Agriculturist in it's final report 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 defcien..
County and township returns from all the
leading potato growing states to this weekly
newspaper show the yield of potatoes to be
ia 900 900 bushels against 245,OOO,OOO in
1896 2S6,OO 600 in 1895, 185,0dO,OOO in 1884
and only 155, 600, 900 in the short crop OF
1892 The average rate of yield per acre is
placed at sixty-four bushels, taking the coun-
try at large, against elghty-siX bushels in
1896 eighty-nine in 1895 and siXty.two in
1892
The reasons for disaster to the potato crop
of 1897 are about as varied as a multiplicity
Of causes could make them. standing out
with more prominence than any other two
factors are blight and rot as a result of eX-
tremes of weather conditions. While the
yield in bushels is small the quality is al
most as deficient. This is true of most but
not all states. The crop is best in the north
west. Such portions Of Canada as make a
speciality of potatoes notably Ontario and
the maritime provinces, show a general but
not serious shortage.

the stage proprietors here, who went at once
to the scene accompanied by the postmaster
and express agent. The postmaster and ex-
press agent from LewIstown also hurried
