The Corn CrOp.

The Chicago Tribune OF the 5th
says: Only an accident can prevent
the breaking Of all previous records
by the corn crop production of the
United States this year. A canvass
Of the eighl States which will raise
the bulk of the corn OF this country
warrants an estimate above that of
1896, which heretofore has been the
record, and there is much in the ad-
vices received to justify a prediction
that the crop will approximate $780,
100000 bushels. .....
The first corn crop of the country
to reach in round numbers two bill
lion bushels was that Of 1892. In
Guiding the crop now to be harvested
only nine crops of two billion bushels
or over have been produced. The
estimate Cor 1899 for the eight corn
States follows:
Kansas, $40. 100000; Nebraska, 3d.

DR1FTED a,4oo MILES.
A Schooner That Has Made an Invol-
untaPy Voyage. Over tho -
Pacific ocean.

The geographers OF Europe are talk
ing about Il. remarkable journey, last
year, of little schooner from Tahiti,
and are inclined to think that it's in
voluntary wanderings throw light on
the long-veXed question as to how It
happens that SO many widely-separated
specks of land in the vast expanse of
the Pacific ocean are inhabited. They
believe that many OF these islands were
peopled by natives who, while out at
sea in their various craft, were blown
away from their own islands and car
vious knowledge.
In March last year a party Of Tahiti
ian natives sailed from home in a
schooner of only 80 tons. They were
not afraid to venture far from home
and, in fact, were bound for Penrhyn
island, in the northwest, and over 700
miles away. These native sailors and
their little boat were caught in a
terrible storm, and the schooner lost
her masts and sails and was no longer
navigable. She drifted around on the
ocean and her crew were powerless to
direct her course. They had a consid-
cradle supply of provisions which they
largely augmented by fishing, and the
rainfall was sufficient to supply them
with all the water they required. Their
sufferings and anxiety, however, were
great, for in the 81 days of their drift
they did not sight a sail or land, and
they feared they were destined to per-
ish in the ocean. At last, however,
when almost worn out by their confine-
ment and trouble, they reached the
Hawaiian islands. They had moved al
most constantly to the north, and their
involuntary journey was about 2.40O
miles in length. ,..
In this long drift they had crossed
the two westward moving currents
known as the south and north eQua-
torial currents, and the current be-
tween them moving to the east, known
as the equatorial counter current.
These currents are marked on our maps
as though they had quite definable
boundaries and regular direction, but
they seem very little to have affected
the movements of this helpless vessel
which wassat the mercy of the winds
and watersS and the sum total Of their
influence was to carry her little west
of north about 2,400 miles. This eX-
perience adds force to that of the cap
tains of the steamers plying between
British Columbia and Australia, who
assert that these currents are not stead
fast, but are quite variable, and differ
very much from season to season in
force, and to some extent in direction
If there are such extreme variations
in these currents as this evidence seems
to prove, it will be all the easier to ac-
count for the distribution of the Poly
nesians all over the ocean instead of
along certain lines marked by the cur
rents. Several years ago the Sun
printed long article telling of, the
many authenticated instances of in
voluntary wanderings in the, Pacific
which had been collected by, the late
Prof. Quatrefages and Mr.. Otto Sittig,
all tending to prove that the misfor-
tunes Of native sailors had the means
of spreading mankind over the greatest
OF oceans.-Detroit Free Press. H%

IN SULU AND LUZON.

President Mckinley has recognize
ed the Sultan of the Sulu Archipel-
ago and has negotiated a treaty with
him by which the United States Is to
pay the sum Of $4,000 annually IN or
der to obtain peaceable sovereignty
over the islands of that archipelago.
The Springfield Republican makes
the following comparison between
this treatment of the Sultan and that
accorded Aguinaldo:
Compare the sultanate of Sulu
with the republic whose head is
Aguinaldo. The Sultan rules as an
absolute monarch after the manner
OF the Sultan OF Turkey. He sup
ports II harem and the institution of
human slavery tiourishes in his do
minions. The harem is in violation
OF the spirit of American institutions
since polygamy was legally abolish
ed in Utah. Tue slavery violates the
thirteenth amendment Of the United
States Constitution, which declares
that neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude shall exist within the Unit
ed States, cor any place subject to
their jurisdiction" If Mr.. mckinley
claims Jurisdiction over the SuIu is.
lands he can not permit human slav-
cry to exist there without repudiat-
ing the thirteenth amendment and
the cause for which Abraham Lin
coin was martyr. Yet Mr.. McKin-
ley's representative has recently been
to sec the Sultan Of Sulu to negotiate
with him treaty and nothing was
said or done, according to all reports,
which would inform the Sultan that
human slavery had now become un-
lawful and impossible in the Sulu
archipelago. We recognize Moslem
potentate with a harem and human
slavery, and we pay him several
thousand year to keep quiet, while
the United States guarantees him
protection against foreign agrees
sion.
But in LuzOn we did not do any,
thing Of the sort. We started in with
a Presidential proclamation that we
proposed to "assimilate7 the native
population. We made a treaty with
Spain, guaranteeing the perpetuation
OF the monastic orders and their land
titles, which constituted, perhaps, the
most potent cause OF instruction
against the Spanish rule. We refuse
to recognize the native government of
Luzon, and as soon as that Govern
ment, seeing clearly the purpose of
our aggression, fell foul OF our mill
tary power, we started in to crush the
life out Of it in war. Yet this nation
represented Christian people, not
M"hammedans. It was a republic
formed ambitiouely :. after our own,
and not a monarchy. Its head was
Christian with one wlfe and did not
support hsrem. It's constitution
proclaimed human freedom and did
not tolerate human slavery. Why is
it that we are destroying the Christ
ian, republican, civilized government
and at the same time recognizing the
'unchristian, monarchial and barbarous
government?

TAKEN IN COLOR
No Longer a Doubt of
Success.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK;, May 1S.-A Chicago spe-
cial to the Herald says: Charles n.
Crewdson Of the Chicago Society of
Egyptian Research has returned to the
city with the first color photographs ever
taken of Egyptian scenes Isochromatic
plates and the McDonough process of
color photography were the means of his
achievement.
Mr.. Crewdson left Chicago early in the
winter and went directly to London,
thence to Alexandria and finally reached
Cairo with a thousand plates. Mrs.
Crewdson accompanied him. Their plan
was to avoid the beaten paths Of travel,
live among the natives and work with
their cameras among Egyptian ruins
They succeeded, despite innumerable ac-
cidents to their plates, and brought back
with them the first collection of Egypt
ian photographs in true colors ever pro-
duCed.
The two hundred plates with which Mr.
Crewdson returned sustain the accuracy
of the statements of the late James W.
McDonough and demonstrate that color
photography is an accomplished fact.
Mr.. Crewdson exhibited a large number
of these plates to-day, and they were rev.
elations in beauty, marvels of landscape,
sunsets, cloud effects and shadows, each
in color just as presented when the cam
era did its work.
I'm three months work in Egypt" said
Mr. Crewdson Il have succeeded in do
ing what artists have failed to do for
years. and the result of my work crude
as it is, but perfect in what was attempt
ed, is now ready for inspection by all
people l hope to return to Egypt next
winter and to continue this work there.
For the art and the educational world
the result of this trip is certain in time
to be of inestimable value
Dwight K. Tripp, whose belief in the
art of color photography led to Mr..
Crewdson's trip and the color work, said:
THE end justifies all that has been
claimed for the discoveries of McDonough.

Resaca de la Palma. While riding at the

having been shot by the Sheriff
The mob was pacifed yesterday and
during the night only by the pleadings
of Hoxie's family, and the assurance
Of the physician that the man was dy-
ing rapidly and could not survive the
day.
Yesterday the mob leaders announced
that they would not wait longer than
daylight on Friday. The doctors were
certain HoXie would be dead by that
time, and the mob leaders assert if he
is not they Will hang him.
Several members of the mob have
suggested TO Hoxie's relatives that the
murderer commit suicide if he finds his
wounds will not result fatally. and thus
save the county the odium of having
witnessed the lynching of one of its
citizens.
Hoxie is terror-stricken and these
suggestions from the mob seem to alb
solutely paralyze him. Governor Been
has been importuned to send troops,
but has not done so, as the Sheriff has
not called for them, and if they were
started the mob would complete it's
work long before they could reach
Washington.
A thousand farmers from along the
Nebraska border are in town, all wait
ing for morning to decide what shall
be done The authorities will make no
resistance. and unless HOxie has the
courage to kill himself or his wounds
prove fatal, he will probably be strung
up at daylight.
Sheriff Coleman went to Hollenburg
last Monday to arrest Hoxie on war
rant charging him with holding up
farmer about three weeks ago. and
when he told Hoxie to throw up his
hands the request was complied with.

GUARDING ST. PATRICKS
CHURCH AND RECTORY
Parishioners Determined to Prevent
the Entrance of Vicar General
Cl11Se

ST. LOUIS. May 1S.-The crowd of Irish
parishioners that has been guarding st.
Patrick's Church and rectory in East
St. Louis. ILL.,, for the past fortyeight
hours to prevent the entrance of Vicar
General Clause, the newly appointed Ger
man priest, is still on duty. This morn
ing the church was unlocked long enough
to hold mass and then relocked and
barred and will be kept so. the parishion-
ers assert. until the trouble is settled.
They want an Irish priest and declare
they will not permit Father Cluse,
German, to take charge of the parish.
The grounds of the church were pa
trolled all day, and tonight relief guard
went on duty. 1t has been arranged that
as soon as Father Cluse appears the big
bell of the church will be sounded and the
5000 members of the parish will turn out
prepared to resist the priests entry into
the church or rectory. 1t is not known
whether Father Cluse will make an effort
to fill his new appointment. One of the
prominent parishioners said to-day that
the committee that went to Washington
to see Monsignor Martinelli had received
his assurances that he would suspend the
appointment of Father Cluse until the
matter could be investigated. Others are
afraid however, that the German priest
will take charge of the church If they do
not guard against it closely
