Largest Crop on Record.

New York, Sept. 6.-The wheat crop
of 1898 is not quite up to promise, ac-
,ording to the report of the American
Agriculturist. This says that in few
states the promise of wheat was not
fulfilled in actual grain by large
margin, while in a number of states
the rate of yield was even greater
than indicated on July /. But with
full allowance for all disappointment,
the fact remains that the crop this
year is the largest on record. The
rate OF yield in winter wheat
Is 14.s bushels per acre and in spring
wheat 1874 bushels.

take in water at an alarming rate. The
ship was seen to weave and buckle like
a basket, and it was feared that the
vessel would break in two amidships.
Captain Maars ordered out the boats,
intending to steer for Bermuda. The
first boat was dashed to pieces against
the side of the vessel. The second boat
was successfully launched, with the en-
tire crew. The wind had in the mean
time increased the fury of the terrible
seas. The small boat had been dam
aged in the effort to launch it from the
wreck, and constant bailing was re-
quired to keep it afloat
In these circumstances the eighteen
unfortunate seamen spent two days in
the vicinity OF. the Johanna, as they
had determined to return TO the dere-
lict when the weather subsided. Fin
ally, on November 18th, the wind and
sea went down, and the men clambered

PARIS, Nov. 1S.-There were three
official functions here yesterday which
aroused considerable interest among the
American Peace Commissioners. The
first was the bestowal of the Order Of
the Golden Fleece upon President Faure
by the Queen Regent of Spain through
the President of the Spanish Peace
Commissioners, Senior Montero Rios.
The second was dinner given by Pres
ident Faure to Senor Montero Rios and
his fellow Commissioners Finally. at
8 O'Clock last night President Faure
received the American Commissioners
at the Elysee Palace, where there was
a comic opera entertainment in their
honor
There is some surprise expressed
among the members of the American
colony at the bestowal of the decora-
ton upon the French President at the
hands of the Spanish Peace Commits
sion at this moment, and others are
asking themselves whether the enter
tainment at the Elysee Palace was to
be regarded as a sort of compensation
to the Americans, whose sensibilities
may have been wounded by the be-
stowal of a Spanish decoration upon M.
Faure before the conclusion of peace
negotiations.
