WAGES OF FARM LABOR.
Bulletin to he Issued by the Agricu1-
tural DeDa rtment.

The Department of Agriculture is prepar-
ing TO issue at an early day a bulletin con-
ce-ning the wages of farm labor in the
United States from 1866 to 1890. The state
ment shows that in the country at large
wages per month by the year or season.
both with board and without board, had
their maximum In 1866 and their minimum
in 1879. For wages per month. without
board, Maryland, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Iowa and California
had highest wages in 1869, South Carolina
and Oregon In 1878, Texas in 1882, Virginia
In loSS In Florida the rate Of 1866 was
reached III 1855 and the elimination was in
1880. The minimum for Alabama, Texas
and Ohio was in 1894: for South Carolina,
Georgia Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas
Michigan Colorado, Oregon and California
in 1895. Wages per month, by the year or
season, with board surpassed those of 1866
in Maine in 1890 The elimination in Ver-
mont, New Jersey, Alabama, Arkansas and
Georgia was in 1863; South Carolina and
Oregon, 1915; Louisiana and Texas, 1882;
North Carolina, 1855; Florida, 1880; Iowa.
1899.

preceding year reported since 1875. A de-
cline is noted for the years 1894 and 1895.
with an increase for 1898. In some states
the wages were higher in 1892 than in 1898,
and in some states the rates of 1892 or of
1883, as the case may be, have not yet
recovered. The financial panic Of 1898
is held responsible for the depreciation of
that year. and II is stated that In 1899 the
highest anti-panic rates had not been re-
gained. The reports from correspondents
on which the publication Is based indi-
cate tendency to differentiation in agri-
culture and the dairy farm. the cotton farm
and the fruit farm are cited as suggestive

French Government officials Silent
About Turkish Imbroglio.
RUMORS OF NAVAL PREPARATIONS
Three BattIeships and a Cruiser
CoaIing at TouIon.
SPECIAL CABINET MEETING

PARIS, August 22.-The approaching visit
of the car to France largely overshadows
the interest taken in the Franco-Turkish
incident. The apathy of the public is re-
fiected by the comments of the newspapers.
They generally express confidence in a
peaceful settlement of the dispute.
According to the foreign office officials
this afternoon, there is no news and no
change in the situation Of the Turkish i'm
brogiio. This, however. was noticeable
the officials were more reticent than yes
terday.
While reasserting that no naval demon
stration is contemplated, they refuse to
confirm or deny the truth of the news con-
tanned in special dispatches saying that
three battle ships and cruiser which ar
rived at Toulon this morning are taking
coal and provisions on board. They said
! they had no information on the subject.
Perhaps 1t Is not lacking in significance
that NJ. Deschannel, president Of the cham
Der OF deputies, who was attending the
council general at Charities, suddenly went
to Rambouillet this morning to see Presi-
dent Loubet, and also that NJ. Delcasse,
the minister OF foreign affairs, leaves the
council general at Ariege and returns to
Paris tomorrow to attend special meeting
Of the cabinet, called. it is asserted, to ar
range the program for the reception and
entertainment of the car.
Turkish Ambsssador Absent.
In the meanwhile the Turkish ambassa-
dor, Munir Bey, rs absent. and at the Turk
ish embassy only minor officials are visible.
They assume an air of absolute indiffer-
ence and ignorance of the whole matter.
Most Of the diplomatists are away for the
summer holidays, hence 1t is difficult to OBJ
tain a consensus Of opinion.
Talking to the correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press, one of the oldest members
who has been connected with diplomatic
corps for over twenty-five years, said:
"The sultan's hand contains one trump
just now. 1t is not likely that France will
run the risk OF opening the eastern Ques-
ton on the eve of the cars visit
The Temps, semi official. has note this
afternoon on the lines OF interview which
the correspondent of the Associated Press
obtained yesterday with a high official of

The rupture, as yet, is only the personal
act of NJ. Constans, and will only become
official and complete if the sultan persists
In his present attitude. in which case. as
Munir Bey is absent from France it will
only be necessary to notify him not to re-
turn until diplomatic relations are re-

TORNADO At ANADARKO. O. T.
Three Persons Killed and Number
Injured.

ANADARKO, Okla, August 22.-Three
persons were killed, two seriously and a
number slightly injured in a heavy wind
and rain storm which visited Anadarko
last evening. Twenty buildings were al
most wrecked. hundreds of tents occupied

Daniel Warren.
Anadarko Is one OF the three towns
which sprang UP after the opening recently
by lottery OF the kiowa-C0manche Indian
reservation. After the drawing had been
concluded thousands Of homesteaders,
ing, rushed thither and purchased town
lots. which were being auctfoned of by the
government. In less than thirty days the
town had reached over 5000 in population.
Buildings were in the course Of erection on
every hand, while the majority of the pop
ulation resided IN tents. systematically ar
ranged along the various streets
When the storm came twenty of the half
finished houses were torn to pieces. Flying
timbers caused the fatalities noted, while
the wind swept the tents into a congfom-
crate mass and the rain soaked thousands
or dollars worth Of merchandise
The storm passed over quickly the moon
came out and the boomers immediately set
about restoring order. The financial ioss
was quite heavy, but no figures are obtain
able.
