CORN CONSUMPTION.
what business Activity Means to
Farmers who Feed Millions
of Wage workers.

The corn crop of the United States
in 1900 than ever before. The depart
ment of agriculture reports the price
of corn during the first week of Sep
tember AS more than double what it
was in 1896 and much higher than at
any corresponding date since that
time. This increased price is due both
to the increased consumption at home
and the efforts made by Secretary Will
son, the present head of the depart
ment of agriculture, for an enlarge
ment of American markets abroad.
With business activity and people in
every line of industry actively en-
ployed, the home market is by far the
most important one to the farmer;
while with business depression, fac
tories closed. mines running on half
time, railways with light earnings and
a reduction of employees, the consump-
tion and prices in the home market
are corresponding reduced. This is
illustrated by the fact that the home
consumption of corn fell off $3.50, ,00O,-
600 in 1894 as compared with 1892, and
that the price Of corn in Chicago in
1896. al the close of the democratic and
low tariff period, was less than one
half what il is to-day.
The table which follows shows the
home consumption and expectation Of
corn in 1892, 1894 and 1899, and the
expectation only in 1899 the home con
sumption figures for that year Of

Hoodwinked Loving Husband.

Paris, June 2S.-An extraordinary
case came up yesterday in the Paris
Civil Court 1t appears that some
years since a woman named Legrand
bought a newborn child, and, having
having struggled it into the house,
made her husband believe the child
was hers. She had the child registered
as Msmae Lsgrand. but the real
mother, previous to handing the child
over, had also bad it registered. This
woman now comes forward and claims
the child. She brings ample evidence
to show that the child is hers, but the
question is complicated, owing to the
fact that Legrand, the supposed father,
who has since died, had bequeathed q
large lot OF property to it. 1t is ro-

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

Sir Michael Hicks Beach, British
Chancellor OF the ESchequer, made an
important announcement in London
last evening about the Chinese crisis.
IL a speech he said the British govern
ment was opposed to regarding China
as plum cake" to be di sided among
the powers. "At the present time"
he added, II believe this view to be
held by ali the powers" Coming from
member of toe Cabinet, this is re-
gsrded IS equivalent to a declara ion
that the powers will not divide China
at present.
1t is believed ia London that Admir-.
al Seymour's international force OF
1900 mariDee, which mas been hard
pressed ABOUT 10 miles from Tientsln,
has probably been rescued, though def
inlte news to that effect has not been
received. The relief force Of about
1000 left Tientsin early Monday morn
log to aid Seymour. He sent hello
graph message to TieDtsin on Sunday
stating that he could hold out only two
days.
The foreign Ministers, about who.e
safety grave fears hal been felt, have
LETT Pekin and are believed to be with
Seymour's force. An official message
TO London intimstes that the Chinese
government asked them to leav,. To
send ministers away in this manner
usually means declaration Of war, but
special circumstances at Pekin may de-
prive it Of this character.
Gen. Adna K. Cnsfiee; who has been
ordered to command the United States
troops in China, lett Washin- ton yester.
day for San Francisco, whence he will
sail next week.
1t is stated in Berlin that the Chinese
Empress Dowager has become drunk
ard and is often in state OF irrespon.
sibility.
President Mckinley believes that the
worst of the trouble in China has been
passed. He looks forward hopefully to
less gravity 10 the situation and a
speedy settlement OF the disorders, thus
restoring order and furnishing protect
ion to American citizens and interests.
The President also declares that the in
terests OF this country in China are
wholly unselfsb, and tina; the work of
the United States 80 far is based wholly
on the broad policy of protection TO
wherever they may be.
Admiral Kemptf has reported that
the American and. other ministers and
the force of American marines that was
protecting the legation are now with
the relief expedition entrenched eight |
miles from Tientsin.
II is reported from Berlin that En-
peror William has not yet decided
to continne the entente cordiale |
with Russia and France in China, or to |
turn to the side of England, the United
States aud Japan.

almost every one of the many women
wore a hat trimmed with artificial
flowers of every color and description.
As The various cases were tried, the
women kept mp whispering that
sounded like the buzzing of many bees,
much to the annoyance OF the court Of
ficers, who were constantly rapping for
order and shouting, "No tslkiug al
lowed" Alter each admonition the
women would remain silent for few
seconds. and then the buzzlng would
begin anew.
