Imported raisins will be high this
Christmas. owing to a considerable
shortage in the Malaga crop. A great
storm on September Is swept over the
famous Malaga raisin district doing
great damage not only to the grapes
still on the vines, but to those that had
been cut and dried. This heavy storm
was followed by a succession OF cloudy
and rainy days, which made is i'm
possible for the grapes to dry properly,
and besides rendered worthless a large
quantity of grapes that were still on
the vines. 1t is now estimated that
the raison crop is short fully 80 per
cent.-Washington letter Brooklyn

the crosses on the marked ballot are

had refused steadily to be drawn into
the "leg-pulling" quagmire of old

came to the front and accepted can

soME CENSUS FIGURES.

The census enumeration is over, and
the usual kicks from disappointed
cities and towns will soon commence to
come in. Wheeling will be very we'll
satisfied with an aggregate of SO, 500, a
net gain of about 5000 in ten years, and
there will be no objection here. But
there will be bowls of dissatisfaction
from al parts of the country. Chicago,
for instance, will not be pleased. Her
newspapers and citizens have been
claiming that the 1000. 900 mark was
passed a year ago. The result of the
official count, as given by the Tribune,
is 1,S43,6T6, or Isl, 900 short of the
claim. Syracuse, New York, is squeak
ing loudly. 1t has been claiming 140,-
600 people. The count only shows
lis, 900, Or 5 1000 short. And so it will
go, and the demands of ten years
ago for recounting will come from all
over the land. The official figures are
probably accurate, however, and in all
but a very few cases, will be accepted.
The preliminary count, according to
information in the possession of the
Chicago Tribune, for the fifteen largest
cities are as follows;

THE GOVERNMENT PUZZLED.

That the United States must send a
considerable body of troops to China
was practically conceded by the Pres
ident and cabinet at Fridays long ses-
sion, when the whole subject was ex-
haustively discussed. The War De-
partment is puzzled where to get the
men. At various times, when this de-
mand was foreseen and discussed, it
was figured that on a basis of 6 5000
men in the Philippines from 100000 to
35, 1000 could be spared in an emergency
there are but 10000 effective men on
the islands, garrisoning two hundred
and forty-fiye posts, that the largest
body at any one point is 1000 electives
at, Manila, and that TO withdraw any
of the numerous and widely scattered
detachments, which only average one
hundred and fifty men each, would be
to invite the Filipinos to renewed
fighting and greatly proiong the war.

no more troops car at present be with

if they or men at home could be SPAR

before they could reach China. II the
war in the Philippines were really
over, and the country pacifed, the
problem % confronting the govern

things stand it is very doubtful if
more than 5000 to 5000 can be sent
