ATTACKED BY A LUNATIc
Crazy Man Throws His Clogs at the
Empress of Japan.

YOKOHAMA, via VICTORIA, B. O., Nov.
14.-The chief sensation of the week
has been the attack by a lunatic upon
the carriage of he empress as the latter
was being escorted through the streets
of Tokyo. Mere rumor of the attack
before the actual facts were known
caused a tremendous amount of excite,
ment in the city.
The crazy assailant having brooded
over his lowly birth until he imagined
himself Of the imperial lineage and ap-
piled in vain at the imperial household
department to have his claim recogniz-
ed, he determined to attract public at
tention in some way, which he sue
ceeded in doing the most effective way,
by throwing his purse and his wooden
clogs at the passing procession.

FAILURE OF GRANT BROS.
Assignee Steadman Makes Statement
of the Firms Condition.

Assignee SJeauman MAKES a statement
of the Firms Condition.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-E. Q. Stead
man, assignee of the firm of Grant Bros,
stock brokers, gave out the following
statement today:
"The amount of assets and liabilities
of the firm cannot be stated until have
had an opportunity to examine into its
affairs, and the schedules and an inven-
tory has been prepared, nor can I state
the cause of the assignment beyond the
fact that the firm was indebted to an
amount greater than it had the means
to pay and that the reason, therefore,
appears to be the recent discovery that
its resources had been depleted in some
way, the particulars of which may be
definitely known only from thorough
examination of the firms books. -

1t Is Solvent.

1t Is Solvent.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA. - Edward A.
Treat, the receiver for the firm of w. L..
Strong & Co., said today that he was at
present unable to remove the uncer-
tainty as to whether the firm is solvent
1t is not yet known whether the firm
was financially embarrassed before the
death of ex-Mayor Strong.
Mr.. Treat made the following state
ment:
"The books must be gone over and
days will be required for that work.
Just as soon as I can l will issue state
ment of the firms affairs -
The general opinion among men in
the drygooGs trade today was that it
would not have been necessary to apply
for a receiver of the firm had it not been
that Mr.. Srong and F. H. Stott of
Stottville, died within a few days of
each other.
1t is generally supposed that Mr..
Strong was large indorser of Mr.. Stott.

Performances Yesterday.
The Peruchi Beldini company seems TO
have made a hit in Houston, judging by
the large and enthusiastic audiences which
attended the performances given yesterday
afternoon and last night. on both OF which
occasions the organization played against
several counter attractions. The bill put
on at the matinee was the comedy entitled
THE Georgia Cracker" while at nigh
the drama In Old Virginia" was the bill
Capable work was done in both plays by
Miss Beldini. Mr. Peruchi, the Carleton
sisters, Thomas P. Jackson, James G. Nor
ton, Charles Gano. Theo. Stark, Louis
James, Emile Subers and Anna Bates.
Little Don Celso Peruchl, who played the
part of the little girl in I'm Old Virginia, q"
is clever youngster and one who has
become quite a fayorite with the patrons
OF the house.
The members of the company who gave
specialties at the initial performance were
seen on both occasions Yesterday a pleas
ing feature of their work being furnished
by the fact that In most cases 1t was en-
tirely different from that of Monday night.
Mr.. Peruchis comedy work and his clever
acrobatic feats were greatly enjoyed, as
were the songs and dances of the Carleton
sisters, the musical speciality OF Mccoy
ami Gano and the blackface turn OF Emile
Subers
The company will present "The Prince in
Rags" this afternoon and tonight "The
Two Orphans" will be the bill.

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Farming operations have progressed
fairly well during the week, considering
the unfavorable weather. The overflow of
the Colorado and other rivers reported at
the close Of last week has necessltated
much replantiug, but this work can not
be completed until more favorable weather
prevails.
Corn planting generally completed over
the southern portion OF the State and
planting we'll advanced over the northern
portion. Early planting came up to a fair
stand but the blades were killed by the
frost on the 18th over North Texas How
ever, 1t is believed that the plant viii re-
cover Much OF the crop will have to be
planted over along the Colorado and a
few other rivers
The wheat crop continues very promis-
ing, AID the only damage reported was
from high waters over the southwest por-
tion Of the wheat belt Some wheat be-
ginning to head.
Oats continue to do well and winter
oats heading nicely.
The cool weather has retarded cotton
planting generally. A good deal OF cotton
has been planted, especially over South
ern Texas, where planting was well adj
yanced. Some cotton reported up over
North Texas prior to the frost, which was
badly damaged Much replanting Will be
Necessary, especially on low lands.
