269, 100000. average yield, 1877 bushels
The average rate of yield of oats accord
ing to the American Agriculturalst is re-
turned at 304 bushels per acre. 2.5 BUSH
els above that of last year and an aver
age higher than was ever before reported
for the whole breadth. The crop is es-
timated at 100000 bushels, against
199, 100000 in 1898 and S14,000,OO0 in 1897.
The quality of the present crop is un-
usually good. The authority named
places the average condition of corn three
points lower than Sept. 1, and only two
higher than was reported at this date
year ago, and adds that if the final rate
of yield shall substantiate that indicated
by the return. the crop is likely to be
found rather above 2.2l5,O0O 900, a fairly
liberal yield, but no record crop.

BoERs SHIELDED THE WRECK.
Until No Signs of Life Among the
British Remained.


London, Oct. 14-Further details are at
hand regarding the destruction of the ar
mored train at Kraaipan. These show that
Capt. Nesbitt, who was in command of the
train, was warned at Maribogo that the
Beers held the line. He replied that he
was bound to proceed.
Nearing Kraaipan. the train dashed into
a culvert that had been blown up by the
Beers, who were lying in wait for the
train. The Boer artillery Immediately
opened fire. and a desperate fight appears
to have ensued, lasting four hours, with
the odds greatly against the British. The
precise details are uncertain.
1t seems, however, that a police patrol,
attracted by the firing, approached within
about 1900 yards of Kraaipan saw the
train ditched, with the Boer artillery still
pounding at it, but noticed no response.
The Beers seemed afraid to approach un-
til the wreck was complete, and the po-
lice patrol feared as there was no sign
of life near the train, that the entire force
had perished in a desperate attempt to
get the train back to MafeSing, where
they knew it was anxiously awaited with
its load of guns and ammunition.
1t is reported that the Beers lost heav-
lily, but there is no means of verifying
this Two miles of rails were torn up.
There is no authoritative confirmation Of
the report that battle has been fought
in Natal between General Sir George Stew
art White and the Orange Free State
troops, although there is no question that
the Beers have crossed the frontier at
several points. They are said TO have
eighteen guns; but if, as is reported, the
engagement began before the Beers had
formed a laager and thrown up earth
works, the British cavalry and artillery
are liable to have had the best of the
fighting.
1t is even already reported that the Brit
ish have gained great victory that 2,00C
Beers were killed, and that the British
loss was very slight; but this may be
without foundation, as another report has
been published to the effect that Lord
Rothschild was in receipt of news of a
great British victory, but when the Asso-
ciated Press representative questioned him
regarding the alleged dispatch he replied:
81 am sorry that 1 have not received any
thing of the sort"

ent command.
As the case stands, Gen. Shafter Is a
brlgadier in the regular establishment and

by law on Oct 16, but the war department
does not deem II expedient to relieve him
of his command at the Preside, and TO
place In charge there some other officer.
whose grasp OF the many details connect
ed with the return Of the volunteers from
the Philippines and the forwarding Of the
new regiments would be less complete
than that of Gen. Shafter. The precedent
for retiring Gen. Shafter In his volunteer
command was established in the case OF
Gen. Graham at Camp Meade last year.
The retirement Of Gen. Shafter will make
room for the promotion of either Gen.
Lawton or Gen. Macarthur to the rank
of brigadler general in the regular es-
tablishment. Both OF these officers now
hold the rank Of colonel.
In connection with these retirements and

THE CANAL OPENED UP.
Dismal swamp Now Ready for De-
veIOpment.


Norfolk, Va, Oct 14-The reopenlng of
the old Dismal Swamp canal was cele-
brated to-day, and the canal was officially
opened to traffic. A party of 100 proni-
nent railway and steamship officials, rep
resentiug many of the great lines Of the
Atlantic seaboard, went over the canal on
the steamer Ocean View. The start was
made from Norfolk this morning at $3.50
o'clock. Elizabeth City, N. c., was reach
ed about y. m.
The fleet of inspection included the
steamer Ocean View, the tug Nettie OF
Norfolk, and the torpedo boat Talbot. All
three were locked through the locks at one
lockage. The reception at Elizabeth City
was an ovation. AS the fleet reached the
wharf, all the mill and boat whistles at
Elizabeth city let loose at once, the
wharves we're crowded with cheering thou
sands, the brass band of the city played
and the Mayor and his staff received the
guests with an address OF welcome This
was followed by a banquet at Hotel Ar
lington. The party then returned to Nor
fox on a special train over the Norfolk
and Southern Railway.
The canal begins at Deep creek, connects
with Pasquotank river, and Is twenty-five
miles long. Traffic through It has opened
In good shape, and barges drawing eight
feet are going through without difficulty.
The new waterway enables all light draft
shipping to take the inland channel and
avoid the dreaded Diamond shoals. 1t also
opens up TO Improvement thousands of
acres of fertile land and great ares Of
red hardwood and pine timber.
