consultation a the wife's apartments
in the Denison and she agreed that
if the boy was allowed to be sent to
her daily with the nurse she would
not attempt to kidnap him.
We nesday afternoon the boy and
nurse called on Mrs. Miller at the
Denison. She sent the nurse out to
get check cashed and while the
goyerness was gone ordered a car

Mrs. Miller announced they were
going for a drive. They started in a
closed carriage toward the depot.

the Union station there was no trace

war department, was shot and in
stantly killed Saturday afternoon by
Samuel Macdonald, also of Ohio, re-
Gently disbursing clerk of the treas

before. year and more ago Morris
was made auditor for the war de-
partment.
Macdonald is unmarried, 5S years

ment service since soon after the
civil war.
Macdonald was in a precarious con-
dition at the Emergency hospital last
night and his death is expected mo-

tirely conscious since his removal to
the hospital. He has constantly reit-
Grated the hope that he would die.

papers half an hour after the killing
of Mr.. Morris. They were conveyed

Gage, the discharge taking effect at
once. w. w. Brown, auditor for the
navy department and the predecessor
of Mr.. Morris, has been reinstated in
his old position as auditor for the
war department..

AMERICAS CROPS.
Official Figures as to the Production
of Fcodstuns I'm This Country During
the xear 1900.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The stats
tician of the department of agricul-
ture estimates the United States
wheat crop of 1900 at 522,229,5O
bushels, the area actually harvested
being 42,495,3S5 acres and the aver
age yield per acre 1929 bushels. The
production of winter wheat is esti-
mated at 350,O25, 400 bushels and that
of spring wheat at 172,204,09 bush
els, the area actually harvested being
26,235,s97 acres in the former case
and l6.259, 4SS acres in the latter. The
winter wheat acreage totally aban-
doned in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and
Illinois is placed at 3,522,7S7 acres
and the spring wheat acreage totally
abandoned in North Dakota and
South Dakota at 1,793, ,467 acres.
The rapid rate at which the winter
wheat acreage of Nebra ska is gain
ing upon the spring wheat acreage
of that state has necessitated a spe-
cial Investigation of the relative ex-
tent to which the two varieties were
grown during the past year. The re-
suit of the investigation is that while
no change is called for in the total
wheat figures of the state, 500, ,57j
acres have been added to the winter
wheat column at the expense of the
spring variety.
The newly seeded area of winter
wheat is estimated at 30,2S2, ,564 acres.
While this acreage is lightly greater
than that sown in the fall of 1899, as
estimated at the time, it is 6O0,654
acres less than the area that was
actually sown. the discrepancy being
due to the remarkably rapid develop
ment of winter wheat growing in Ne
braska, with which, as above stated,
the departments reports failed to
keep pace.
The production of corn in 1900 is
estimated at 2,105, ,102,516 bushels;
oats 500, 1881 ,9s9 bushels, barley S.
925, 1913, rye 23,995,92 buckwheat o.
566, ,966 potatoes 210,926,S9 and hay
50,110,G06 tons.
The corn crop of 1900 was one of
the four largest ever gathered, while
the oats crop has only once been eX-
ceded. On the other hand the barley
and rye crops are the smallest, with
one exception in each case, since
1887. The buckwheat crop is the
smallest since 1883 and the hay crop
the smallest with one exception since
1888

HAS a FIRM GRIP.
Leprosy,s Victims i'm the Philippines
Number 10000.

Washington, Dec. 27.-An appended
report to Gen. MacArthur's review of
the civil affairs of the Philippines for
the past fiscal year gives some start
ling facts regarding the Introduction
and prevalence of leprosy in the is
lands.
According to the estimates of the
Franciscan fathers, says Major Guy
H. Edie, the writer of the report,
there are 10000 lepers in the archi-
peIago, the major portion of these
being in the Niscayas. Leprosy was
introduced in 1888, when the emperor
of Japan sent ship with $50 lepers
on board to the Philippines as pres
ent to be cared for by the Catholic
priests Thus the seed was planted.
and as no practical methods ever
were adopted to eradicate the dis
ease, or prevent its spread, it has
taken firm root.
A house to house inspection begun
last January found more than 100
lepers concealed in dwellings,. These
were sent to San Lazaro hospital in
Manila, but many others escaped into
the surrounding country. \ commit
tee will select a suitable island or
islands for the purpose of isolating
all the lepers in the archipelago.

But a short time ago a new set
of rules went into effect regulating
the issuing of medical degrees in
Germany. The following is a transla-
ton of the new rules:
The degree of doctor of medicine
can be conferred only after a thesis
has been published and a verbal ex-
animation undergone. A ''promoto
in absentia" will not be allowed un-
der any circumstances. BY his thesis,
the candidate must prove that he is
able to work Independently on sci
entitic lines. The thesis must usual
ly be written in German, though the
use of another language may be al
lowed by the faculty. \ biography
of the candidate must be appended.
The verbal examination consists eth
er of a simple questioning or of an
"eNamen rigorosum." German SUBJ
iects cannot receive the degree be-
fore having obtained permission from
the government to practice as a ply
sician within the empire.
BY unanimous vote of the faculty
and with the permission of the SUI
pervising board, deviations from this
rule may be granted in particular
cases, in which the candidate cannot,
for weighty reasons, be expected to
comply with them. Foreigners who
have received the government permis-
sion TO practice medicine within the
German empire are subject to the
same regulations regarding their pro-
motion to the degree of doctor of
medicine as those laid down for Ger
man subjects. Foreigners who DO not
possess the permit for the German
empire and who wish to be promoted
should lay before the faculty proofs
of the following facts:
G) That they have had the school
ing required in their own country
for passing the examination and re-
ceiving the degree; if in their own
country fixed rules with regard to
this matter do not exist, they will
have to show certificates from home
in which proof is given that their
schooling is equal to that required for
obtaining the matriculation certifi-
cate at German ''reaIgymnasium."
(2) That they have passed through
(a) Studies before a regularly or
ganized medical faculty for as many
semesters as are required in Ger
many for admittance to the regular
medical examinations.
(b) That at least one of those SEM
esters has been spent at the Ger
man university at which they wish
to receive their degree.
This latter rule may be suspended
if the candidate be well known to
the faculty. The printed thesis,
which must be produced before OBJ
tanning permission to appear for the
degree examination, may, at the fac
ulty's discretion, be replaced by sci-
entific work of the candidate which
has already been printed and pub

The supply of washed wool for the
French industry was 194,Q04. 500
pounds in 1890. This figure has
varied somewhat in the last ten years,
being 231 ,483,OO0 pounds in 1898, 240,-
3O1 400 pounds in 1896, and only 227,-
755.02t pounds in 1898.
France makes a speciality of comb
inc and possesses a number of large
establishments, particularly in the
department of the north. She ex-
ports a large quantity of combed
wool, and the export is constantly in
creasing. rising from 17,11S,719 pounds
in 1890 to ~ 2,O24,0S5 pounds in 1898.
Her best customers are Russia, Ger
many, Belgium and Spain. The home
consumption has decreased somewhat,
on account of the removal to other
countries of several spinning estab-
lishments, which, however, still buy
their combed wool in the French mar
BGt.

a BANK IN TROUBLE.
a Baltimore institution Is Placed in
the Hands of Receivers.

Baltimore, Dec. 27.-Roger r. Gill,
of the law firm of Rufus Gill q Sons,
was on Wednesday appointed re-
ceiver for the Old Town bank by
Judge Stockbridge. The appointment
was made with the consent of the
president and officers of the bank.
Mr. Gill bonded in the sum of 81, 800
600, the assets of the institution
being valued at half that amount.
George Schilling, a stakeholder and
depositor, and Robert l.. Gill de-
postor, were the compIainants. In
their statement to the court, they
say:
while the bank, until recent per.
iod, has done profitable business, il
has recently incurred heavy losses by
the bad faith of it's cashier, Theodore
T. Wilcox, in that, without authority,
he wrongfully, without the knowl-
edge of its president or board of di-
rectors, permitted Isaac Robinson
and the United Milk Producers as
sociation to draw from the bank
large sums of money and incurred
losses thereby which the bank is un-
able to bear.
"Rumors affecting the financial
condition of the bank are in circula-
tion, in consequence of which large
sums of money have been withdrawn
by depositors and it is a question of
but short time when the bank will
be compelled to close its doors. The
bank is unable to pay its liabilities
in the usual course of business and
unless a receiver is appointed it will
result in a struggle to keep the doors
of the bank open, and depositors will
suffer loss"
The answer, filed by President f.
G. Shipley, is as follows:
THE bank admits that, by reason
of the facts stated in the bill of COM
plant, it is no longer able to meet
its current obligations, and believing
that it ought not to further under
take to continue to do business. but
that its assets should be held for the
mutual benefit of all persons inter-
eSted, it consents to the appointment
of receiver or receivers, as prayed"
Both firms mentioned in the bill of
complaint are in receivers hands.

a MUCH-WANTED MAN.
Police of Many Cities Are Searching
for Pat Grove, the Alleged kidnap-
per of Young Cudahy.


Chicago, Dec. 2S.-Disguised as
woman, Pat Grove, who is being
sought by the police all over the
United States on the charge of kid
mapping Eddie Cudahy at Omaha, has
been seen in Chicago within the last
few DAYS and may still be hiding
here, according TO statements made
last night by Detective James Storen,
Chicago police officer who has ar
rested Grove IA number of times in
the past. With view to discovering
the fugitive's hiding place a search of
several houses in Sixty-third street
has been made by Storen, acting on
Information that Grove had been rec
ognized on that street Christmas day.
In pursuing his quest the sergeant
stumbled upon evidence which he
says convinced him that Grove has
been in Chicago recently and that in
the guiSe of a woman, clothed in
black robe and heavily veiled, the
suspect went abroad in the streets of
Englewood, the suburb where he
Cnce was a resident and is well
known to many people.
Storen claims to have traced Grove
to room where he was masquer-
aiding as a young widow in mourning,
but that Grove received warning
from his friends that the police were
on his trail and got away before a
capture could be effected.
81 found ample evidence in the
room that its occupant was none
other than Grove" said Sergeant
Storen last night. "Whether he is now

wanted on charge of kidnapping
young Cudahy, are on the Warren
| liner Michigan, bound for Liverpool,
and a cable containing that informa-
| tion has been sent to the Scotland
Yard detectives. who will be on the
| Liverpool docks when the steamer ar
| rives.
Just before the Michigan sailed last
| Saturday two men who acted so suS-
| piciously as to attract attention and
| who answered to the descriptions of
| Grove and the other supposed kid
| napper, boarded the steamer with d
| large amount of baggage.
A Nantasket beach watchman has
reported to the police that he saw at
the beach big stranger, dressed like
| a western cattleman and carrying a
| big old carpet bag. He asked for a
| boatman to row him out to an out
! going vessel and said he would pay
almost any price for the service, for
he was anxious to board some vessel
going to a foreign port. He ans
wered the description in every detail
| of Pat Grove as it has been sent out
by the Omaha police. The watchman
went to notify the police and when
he returned the man was gone.

a REVOLT IN JAIL.
Female Prisoners Attack the MatrOn
and the Warden.


New York, Dec. 2S.-Twenty female
prisoners in the Raymond street Jail,
Brooklyn, rioted yesterday and
fiercely assaulted Matron Frances
Haney and Warden McGrath. There
was no attempt to escape. The riot
was the consequence of nothing but
ill-feeling. Miss Hanley was trans
ferring the prisoners from one cor
ridor to another in the women's sec
ton when she was attacked by Nellie
Joseph, a powerfully built woman,
who had been sentenced to Is days
for intoXication. Miss Hanley was
felled. Nineteen other prisoners then
assaulted her. While the blows
rained thick upon her head and body
she managed to reach push but
ton that rang a bell in the warden's
office.
Warden McGrath rushed to the wo-
mems department without waiting to
call for assistance. As he entered
the corridor he diverted the atten-
ton of the women and they jumped
on him. The blows were fast and
furious and McGrath went to the
floor. Hatpins were brought into
play and his face, head and neck
were gouged.
Miss Hanley made her way through
the crowd and again rang the alarm.
The sheriff, under sheriff and five
deputies replied. They had much
trouble in subduing the women, but
finally succeeded, and two of them
were placed in straight jackets.

HE REFUSES TO STEP OUT.
The English War Office Demands the
Resignation Of Gen. CoIviIIe.

London, Dec. 2S.-The war Office has
begun the promised reform of the
army in a sensational manner. 1t
has demanded the resignation of
Maj. Gen. Sir Henry Colville, com
manding an infantry brigade at Glib
raltar and recently commanding the
Ninth division of the South Africa
field force. Gen. Colville refuses to
resign, and is now on his way to Eng
land. The news is all the more start
ling as the question of Gen. Colville's
responsibility for the yeomanry dis
aster at Lindlay last May was inves-
tigated by the authorities when Gen.
Colville returned from South Africa
last summer. After the inquiry Gen.
Colville was reinstated in his com
mand at Gibraltar in September last.
The attitude of the war Office in
dicates that a new regime in Pail
Mall will reverse the decisions of
Lord Lansdowne and Lord Wolselty
in regard TO some of the recent com
manders in South Africa. Gen. Col
vile, like Gen. Methuen, has always
been great social parsonage in Lon
don.
