NEW ENGLAND CRAPS.
Wheat Crop Not What Expected Il Corn and
Oats Are Poor Quality.

Worcester, Mass. Oct. 3.-Local returns
from the New England Homestead's crop
correspondents in all leading states make
an average rate of yield for winter
wheat of 149 bushels per acre. and of
spring 1862 bushels. Applying these av-
erages to the total acreage. 1t appears
that the winter wheat crop reaches to-
tai of 33S, 600 bushels and spring 3o9.-
0f0.0e0 bushels, or Il crop for the year of
102. 961 900 bushels. compared with 6i5, 000-
oc0 grown IN 1891. the largest previous
crop.
The final rate of yield of winter wheat
appears to be slightly under what was
expected at the time of harvest. The his
tory of the spring wheat crop of '9S shows
a season with minimum of unfavorable
conditions over the greater part OF the
territory
There is little change in the corn stu
alton. The returns vary but little from
those reported in September. the New
England Homestead correspondents MAX
ing the general average. this month. $40,
against S5.4, a month ago. From every
part of the corn belt comes complaint
that there are an unusual number of bar
rem stalks in every field. and that the ear
when husked is both short and indiffer-
emily filled with grain.
The area under oats is placed at 2S.70i.-
coo acres rate of yield 27.S bushels MAX
ing a total crop of 1890 900 bushels.
against 1000. 0C0 bushels, last year. The
quality Is by no means good.

THE CHARGES WILL REACT.
Scheme to Make Campaign Thunder and Will
Fall Flat.

Pittsburg, Oct. 3.-Lieur. Gov Walter
Lyon. who Is Mr.. McKee's law partner.
today. said that the incentive for the is
suing OF the warrants for Senator Quay
and others at Philadelphia was to pro-
duce campaign thunder, but he thought
1t decidedly reckless piece of business.
as there was not the slightest shadow of
wrongdoing on thepart of the defendants.
IL would react to such an extent upon the
prosecutors that more harm than good
would be done their cause
He explained that Richard Quay had
borrowed money from the Peoples Bank
of Philadelphia to build the Newcastle
Street Railway, and he presumed Senator
Quay was brought into the matter by his
having signed his sons notes. Lieut..
Gov. Lyons said that all the money had
been paid back to the bank and the state
had lost nothing.
The firm of Lyon & Mckee acted as at
tOrneys for the Newcastle Street Rail-
way. burt had no connection with the
financial end of il. and Mr.. Lyon could
not understand why his firm had been
brought into the matter.

WINTER CAMPS.
CONTINUED from page IL

colored troops, now at Fort Meyers,
Will relieve the 9Th Volunteer Infantry
ut Chickamauga. All the troops at
Camp Meade will soon be ordered to
points in the South. Some of them
may 70 to Cuba, but the majority will
for the present occupy the new camps
recnrtly selected in Georgia and South
Carolina. 1t Is thought that troops
sent to garrison duty in Cuba will not
remain long. but when they have seen
service for a few months, will return
to this country.
The same Is probably true rs to Porto
Rico. 1t is also intimated that when
the troops return, the volunteers will
be given 60 days furlough and be mus
tered out. BY that time Congress will
have had an opportunity to determine
what is to be done in regard to garri-
soning the new possessions.
This determination Is no doubt due
to the pressure that has been brought
by a number of congressman for the
mastering out of the volunteers from
their states and districts.
The responsibility for furnishing
troops for garrison duty and for army
duty generally will be with Congress.
The recommendation of the war de-
partment will be made before the re-
turn of the troops from either Cuba or
Porto Rico. and the necessities of the
case are made known.
Although there has been less pres
sure for the mastering out Of the vol
unteers since the announcement was
made that the troops could not be
shared. the demand continues with
sufficient persistence to convince the
war officials that reorganization OF
the army will be necessary and that
some arrangement will have to be
made to secure force for garrison
service in the islands.
Although the demand for the muster
out Of regiments is not so great, the
demand for the discharge of individu-
ais has overwhelmed the department.
There is not a senator or representa-
tive scarcely who has not presented
requests of this kind, and there a
constant demand for the discharge Il
one man or another on some preteXt.
These requests and the demands for
mastering out have no doubt had their
effect in making the war officials seek
some more secure methods of army or
ganization for the purposes for which
the army will be needed in the future.
The troops which have been ordered
TO Porto Rico will relieve a like number
OF regiments now in the island. the or
CARNATIONS to be designated by Gen.
Brooke 1t is generally expected that
the 9Th Massachusetts will be one II
