By the last census it appears that
the population of France is now 49,
228,969, an increase in five years of
only 1889, and this mainly through
immigration. For several years past
the death rate has exceeded the birth
rate. These facts become still more
significant when a comparison is made
between France and her neighbours. In
Germany the increase Of population
during the last five years has been
2,851,431, nearly 5000, 900, a. against
1874, 900 in France. The contrast is still
more striking when these figures are
compared with those of the past. At
the beginning Of the century France
outnumbered Prussia three to one. To-
day Prussia contains almost an equal
population, and as for the whole of
Germany, there are five Germans to
every four Frenchmen.

Reports in regard to winter wheat

Reports in regard to winter wheat
are d~iscouraging. The continuous rains,
followed by high water in the streams,
have flooded the low lands in many
portions of southern Illinois, SO that
what wheat was net winter killed has
been utterly ruined by water. Reports
from nearly half Of the counties in the
state, including almost all of the win
ter-wheat growing counties, are that
two-thirds of the wheat seeded last fall
-1,749, 900 acres vas winter killed or
destroyed by floods. and the condition
of the remaining third-5S9,C0O acres
is SO poor that under the most favora-
BILE conditions only one-third of an av-
erage crop may be expected. The out
look is that little more than enough
wheat for seed will be harvested in
Illinois this season, and the people will
have to depend on other states for
wheat for consumption, a condition
that has occurred but once in the agri-
cultural history Of the state.

Buy Supplies in This Country for the

Washington, May 26.-The resolution
appropriating $4,000 for the relief of
distressed Americans in Cuba. reached
the White House at 1890, just as soon
as it could be sen up after being
signed in both houses, while they were
in open session. The president signed
the resolution Immediately, and will
proceed at once to consult with the
officers of the state department regard
ing the adoption of measures Of relief,
in addition to those taken last week.
when Consul General Lee was au-
thorized to draw upon the state de-
partment for $4,000 for the procure
ment of immediate supplies. State
department officials are of the opinion
that it will not suffice to send money
to Cuba. but believe, in view of the
high prices for provisions prevailing
on the island, it will be best to procure
at least a portion of the stores in this
country and send them by freight
steamers to Cuba.
