NBw Y0Rk, Sept. 6.-The wheat crop
of 1888 Il not quite up to promise. ac-
cording to tho report Of the American
Asriculturslist, which win appear Sept.
II. Il ays: Il appears the promise Of
wheat was not fulfilled in actual grain
BY what must seem like large margin,
while in . number Of states tho rate Of
yield was even smaller than indicated
On July 1. But with full allowance for
Ill disappointment, tho fact remains
that the crop this year is the largest ON
record.
The reported rate Of yield in winter
wheat il 1913 bushels, and in spring
wheat las bushels. The final crop re-
suit win appear next month, but the
American Agriculturalist says that it
may not be amiss to note that if the
present rate Of yield indicated shall be
maintained tho total production OF
winter wheat will be rather under 4OO,-
00O, 600 bushels, and spring wheat fully
500, ,O0O, 900 bushels, subject to m0difics-
ton next month.
The report Of the American Agricul-
turalist On corn places the condition
at 85.4, as compared with 65.6 month
earlier. Tho change, while slight, is a
distinct disappointment, as it was gen.
orally believed the breakage of the
drouth would advance the condition of
tho crop. at least to an average showing
for this date.
Taking the surplus states Of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas and Nebraska, it appears the present
condition Of this crop is 1873, as against
79.l ono month ago and 500 one yeal
ago. There is an unusually large per
oentags of healthy appearing stalks,
which are bearing no ears 1t all, and a
large proportion which have single
ear, and that short and approaching the
nubbing condition. The effect of this
will only be fully recognized when the
crop 10 husked. and it is easily within
the range of possibilities that the final
report of rate Of yield per acre will pre-
sent some marked surprises.
The condition of oats harvested is
placed at 1914, or 20 lower than ON Aug.
l, with the general quality not as good
% last year.
The same authority says the past
month has brought further reduction
in the potato crop, the breaking of the
drouth not being followed by the Ne
Coyery of condition.

Mr.. Raser and Geo. Ludwig were driv-

posedly for the purpose Of hunting
chickens. Mr.. Drayton met them and
forbade them shooting chickens on his
land, threatening to have them arrested
if they did. Words were exchanged and
Drayton climbed on the side Of the
wagon and attempted to seize gun
which was laying on the wagon bottom.
Raser resisted and a scuffie ensued in
which the gun was discharged and shot
off the top of Mr.. Raser's head, killing
him instantly.

President Mckinley Requests Congress t.

Court of Inquiry. ...
Washington, March 29.-The presi-
dent yesterday sent the following mes
sage to congress:
To the Congress of the United States
For some time prior to the visit of the
Maine to Havana harbor, our consular
representatives pointed out the advan-
tages to flow from the visit of national
ships to the Cuban waters, in accus-
toming the people to the presence OF
our flag as the symbol of good will and
OF our ships in the iulhllment of the
mission of protection to American in
terests, even though no immediate cause
therefor might exist.
Accordingly on the Oath of January
last, after conference with the Spanish
minister in which the renewal of visits
OF our war vessels to Spanish waters
was discussed and accepted the penin-
sular authorities at Madrid and Havana
we're apprised of the purpose of this
government to resume friendly naval
visits at Cuban ports, and in that view
the Maine would forthwith call at the
port OF Havana. This announcement
was received by the Spanish govern
ment with appreciation of the friendly
character of the visit of the Maine and
with notification of intention to return
the courtesy by sending Spanish ships
to the principal ports of the United
States. Meanwhile the Maine entered
the port Of Havana on the 25th of jan
uary, her arrival being marked with no
special incident besides the exchange
of customary salutes and ceremonious
visits.
THE MAINE CONTINUED
in the harbor OF Havana during the
three weeks following her arrival. No
appreciable excitement attended her
stay; on the contrary, feeling of relief
and confidence followed the resumption
OF the long interrupted friendly inter
course. So noticeable was this immc-
diate effect of her visit that the con-
sui general strongly urged that the
presence of our ships in Cuban waters
should be kept up by retaining the
Maine at Havana, or, in the event of
her recall, by sending another vessel
there to take her place.
At 40 minutes past in the evening
Of the 18th of February the Maine was
destroyed by an explosion, by which
the Onward part of the ship was utterly
wrecked. In this catastrophe two Off
GERS and 264 Of her crew perished, those
who were not killed outright by her
explosion being penned between decks
by the tangle of wreckage and drowned
by the immediate sinking of the hull.
Prompt assistance was rendered by the
neighboring vessels anchored in the
harbor, and being especially given by
the boats of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XIII, and the Ward line steamer CITY
of Washington, which lay not far dis
tant. The wounded were generously
cared for by the authorities OF Havana.
