FOREIGN CROPS.
No Serious Shortage Is Shown by Re
ports From Abroad.

washington, Nov 24.-European re-
ports to the department of agriculture
show that the conditions of fall sown
wheat, spelt and rye in Germany, as Of
ficially reported by the German Stat1st1-
cal office, is considerably above medium.
The preliminary official estimates Of
French cereal crops for 1900 show the
production of AZ. 612, 400 bushels of oats.
The final estimate for the 1893 crops Is
for As, 406, 1922 bushels of barley and 270,
436, $50 bushels of oats. Both grains were
a little lighter in yield than in 1885, be-
sides returning a smaller yield per acre
in measured bushels
Comparison of the wheat, maSlin rye,
barley and cats production in France for
ten years shows that each of these crops
lis below the decennial average, as well
as below the crop of 1899, though the de-
felt as compared with the decenniaI av-
erage is small in the case of the more
important cereals The final general
memorandum of the Indian government
on the sugar cane crop for the season
1S99-190O shows that in both northern
and southern India, the season began
well for this crop and the area planted
was larger than in 1898, being approx
mately equal to the average
Failure of rain, however, later ser1-
sously injured the crop. In the Punjab
district at least one-third of the crop
was lost, and the crop of the northwest
provinces was estimated at only g. per
cent, but in Bengal and Madras prov
inces from SO to 81 per cent. of av-
erage crop was realized TH1e area I'M
der rice in the 1S99-1900 season is esti-
mated at approximately 50, 900, 600 acres,
somewhat smaller than in 1898, but more
than the average. The yield was esti-
mated at somewhat over %, 345, 600 tons.
being like the area, smaller than that of
last year. This reduction is in Madras
and Bengal provinces
German government advices from
Chilli report that for the first six months
of this year the weather has been fav-
orable to the wheat newly sown for the
crop of 1900-'01. and that for the same
period the Gillian exports OF wheat were
very small, due to the short crop of
1S99-1900. The Roumanian government
reports give 3,928,s41 acres of wheat in
1900, with a production of sc. 1852, 869 bush

YALE THE WINNER.

Football Contest.

in several years two colleges of the big
four meet today for the undisputed
championship in intercollegiate football

feat of Princeton.

three games have been played. The first
resulted in a score of nothing to nothing,
although the crimson had been picked
as an easy winner. Harvard, under the
captaincy of Ben" Dibblee. won the
1898 game by a score of II to 0. Last
years game was again a tie, neither
side scoring.
A cold drizzling rain sorely disap-
pointed lovers of the game of football,
yet despite the steady downpour a large
number of spectators gathered at the
grounds. During the forenoon, snow

HAVE SEVEN JURORS.

Kansas City, Nov PA special from
Ell Dorado, Kas., says:
Seven jurors agreeable to both prose
cution and defense had been selected to
try Jessie Morrison for the murder of
Mrs. G. Olin Castle when court opened
this morning. The examination of
veniremen was resumed and proceeded
slowly, furnishing but little of interest
for the crowd of spectators, who spent
much of the time gazing curiouSly at
Miss Morrison and DIN Castle.
The prisoner has become used to the
staI'es from the audience and pays but
slight attention to her surroundings.
With her head resting upon her hand she
sits quietly through the sessions, sell
dom speaking even to her attorneys or
her aged father. The latter remains by
her side constantly.
So far 102 veniremen have been ex-
amined, and Judge Shinn evidently de-
termined that the delay shall not CON
tinue much longer, and this morning
took a hand in overruling challenges
made by both prosecution and defense
All of the seven men retained are farm
ers living outside Of Ell Dorado

Secretary Hays Note Meets With
Favor in Britain.

London, Nov. 24.-Secretary Hays
note appealing to the powers to devise
measures to bring about an amicable
and satisfactory settlement of the Chi
nese crisis has been received at the for
eign Office through Lord Pauncefote, the
British ambassador at Washington but
it has not yet been answered. The note
points out that the difficulties of getting
China to execute the punishments de-
sired by the powers. are 50 great as to
make in the opinion of the United
States, this way of solving the crisis
almost unpracticable.- The note does not
propose any definite substitute, but
suggests an exchange of vie Us. whereby
the powers can arrive at a better basis
of treating China
The United States embassy has not
received q. copy of the note and is
ignorant of its contents.
Judging from the foreign Office opin-
ion voiced in these dispatches today
Great Britain is likely to assent gladly
