EURoPEs IMMENSE SHORTAGE.
Needs Millions of Bushels of Wheat,
Rye and Potatoes.

European advices of the American
Agriculturist, New York, show shortage
this year in European crops, as compared
with average crops, as follows: Wheat,
300. 900, 900 bushels; rye, 325, 600, 900
bushels potatoes | 900, 600, 900 bushels.
The heaviest shortage in rye is in the
countries of largest production-Russia,
Germany, Austria and France. In these
countries also is the heaviest decline in
potatoes The seriousness Of the situation
in Europe is apparent from these figures,
and the known fact that rye far more
than wheat, is depended upon as a bread
stuff by the European masses. No part
of the world, apparently, has consider
able surplus of cereals except the United
States and Canada
WE CAN t SUPPLY POTATOES.
The potato crop in these foreign coun-
tries is found to be about % per cent. less
than last year, and may be still smaller.
The United States has no potatoes for ex-
port but if prices go high enough the
United States can spare 240, 600, 600
bushels of wheat, 300, 600, 900 bushels of
corn 100 900, 600 bushels of oats, and
10, 000, 900 bushels of rye-a total Of
$50, 600, 900 bushels.
This will be the biggest export ever
made of American grain. 1t is just about
enough to Offset Europe needs Of wheat
and rye, but where is she to find a sub
stitute for her enormous shortage in po-
tatoes? Must she not take every bushel
of feed stuffs that America can spare
FORMER HEAVY EXPORTS.
In the twelve months ended ON June
30. 1892. following Europes short crops
of 1891, the foreigners bought from the
United States -four and wheat amounting
TO 225, 900, 900 bushels, at an average ex-
port price above 81 bushel; of corn,
III. 900, 900 bushels, at an average value
of over 50 cents a bushel; of rye, more
than II, 900, 600 bushels, at an average
Of 95 cents bushel
FARMERS HOLDING FOR HIGH PRICES
\ canvass of the farmers in the centres
of commercial production has shown that
the farmers are very firm holders. They
think that they control the situation, and
say they want to net at their local shipping
stations for wheat and rye and potatoes, 81
bushel; corn, 30 cents oats, 20 cents;
hay. $l2 and 81 cotton, and 0 cents;
tobacco, 80 to $50 per cent. above last
year sales.

Special TO EVENING HERALD.
HARRISBURG, Jan. 20.
Boios Penrose was this afternoon elected to
take the place of j. Donald Cameron in the
United States Senate. Only one Republican
vote was cast against him, that Of Daniel F.
Moore, Of Chester. The final vote was taken
this afternoon at a joint convention of the
House and Senate. Both Houses voted
separately yesterday, and the vote in the
House was: Penrose, 1853 Chauncy f. Black,
York, 33 John Wanamaker, 1 absent or
not voting, 2. In the Senate Penrose polled
AZ votes and Black, 8, Senators Mitchell,
Bradford and Penrose not voting.
When Representative Moore arose and
voted for wanamaker, thus boiling the Re-
publican caucus, he was greeted with a little
burst of applause which WAS soon drowned
in a storm Of misses.
At noon to-day both branches met in joint
session, when the vote was officially declared
as 21O for Penrose, 80 for Black and 1 for
Wanamaker.
The Senatorelect was the recipient of
many congratulatory expressions from his
friends. One of the features Of the election
was the presenting to Senator Penrose Of a
series of resolutions adopted by the labor
convention held in Pittsburg on the 18th
inst.
The Republican State League of Clubs will
give a banquet in honor of Senator Penrose,
and it will be a love feast. The leaders of
both factions of the party will DO asked to
attend.
1t can be stated upon high authority that
there will be no attempt to punish members
of the Legislature for voting for Wanamaker.
Such rumors have no foundation. There
will be no discrimination, and Senators
Losch, Sproul and Kaufman, among the
Wanamaker supporters, received assurances
to-day hat they would receive the r%ecogni-
ton due them as Senators. Each Senator
will receive one appointment.
Tho slate committee has experienced some
trouble in satisfying everybody. Hon. Joseph
Wyatt, of S~chuylkill county, received the
appointments as Sergeant-at-arms of the House.
He was endorsed by every member from that
county, and his appointment is credited to
the entire delegation. J. T. Jones will be
appointed to q minor position for Senator
Coyle.
Senator Penrose will not go to Washington
until March 4th, and will therefore retain his
seat in the State Senate until that time.

Mr.. HaIstead Must Have Misunderstood
ObiO's Governor.

NEW York, Jan. 20.-Governor Asa S.
Bushnell, Of Ohio, is still in New York,
and has not decided to appoint Mark
Hanna to fiji the unexpired term of Sem
ator John Sherman, when the latter re-
signs to become secretary of state. Murat
Halstead saw the governor at the hotel
last Sunday, and the former then went to
Cleveland, where he gave out aninterview
to the effect that Governor Bushnell said
he would appoint Mr.. Hanna for the short
term, and then let him fight it out for re-
election one year hence. To a reporter
the governor said yesterday;
II WIS astonished to read Mr.. Halstead's
interview given in Cleveland. He saw me
Sunday morning, and not Sunday even
ing, as he said. He said TO me in a frank
way, If / were you governor, 1 would ap-
point Hanna for the %unexpired term, and
then let him fight it out for reelection l
answered to the effect that 1 had not de-
cided and would not decide what l would
do until Senator JOIN Sherman resigned.
1 made the same answer to Mr.. Halstead
that 1 made to an interviewer, which was
that 1 had not decided and would not un-
til the time came to act. Now, Mr.. Hal
stead, by some strange mental process,
quotes himself in his conversation with
me, and gives me credit for saying 1t. I
wish distinctly and oategorlcally to deny
ever saying that would appoint any other
man to succeed Senator Sherman.
"In the first place the senator may
change his mind about going in the cab
met, and never resign. He has three
weeks and over to change his mind, and
until he does resign I do not propose to
anticipate things. 1 shall not be foolish
enough to GROSS a bridge before I reach it.
1 notice, too, that some one says below
Mr.. Halstead's interview that l win not
call an extra session to elect Mr.. Sher-
mans successor rather than appoint, ow-
ing to the large expense it would be to the
state. The expense would be compare
lively nothing. One thing is sure, 1 will
not make up my mind to appoint Mr..
Sherman's successor until he resigns. He
may change his mind before March A."

CANTON, o., Jan. 20. Mr.. Edward
Lauterbach was seen yesterday after his
conference of an hour and a half with the
president-elect. Ho said the conference
was very pleasant, cordial and satisfactory.
He said he was here representing the Or
ganization In New York. He said the
entire situation in New York had been
gone over in the conversation, and that
many names had been mentioned in its
course.
He was asked as TO the place New York
would probably be assigned in the final
makeup of the cabinet. He replied that
In his opinion New York, being a seaport,
the navy would be most appropriate.
However, he did not wish il understood
that he was speaking definitely, as moth
ing conclusive had been reached. As to
Mr., Platt' possibility for the cabinet, Mr..
Lauterbaoh said Mr.. Platt was satisfied
with his prospects of representing the Em-
