EUROPEAN CROP SITUATION.
TSe United States Able to Meet the
wheat Deficit of England, France
Holland and Belgium.

London, Aug. 2O.--The Mark Lane
Express, summing up the crop stu
alton, says: The best authorities esti-
mate the wheat crop of the United
Kingdom at 56,o0O,000 bushels; that of
France, at 30O,0oo,000, and the crops
OF Belgium and Holland, at 100000
bushels, q total OF SGT, 100000 bushels
for the great wheat importing area
of northwestern Europe, which needs
664 100000 bushels. America, with
home. wants not exceeding 00,000.000
bushels, has 675 ,GO0,00O bushels and is
therefore able to deal with the deficit
single-handed. The Russian, Roumani-
an, Australasian and Argentine sur
pluses are left to meet the wants of
Italy and the newest buyers, like Cape
Colony, Greece, Switzerland, Scandana-
via, China and, proba bly,, Austria-Hun-
gary, Spain ana torrulai. Esypt and
India will be selfsupporting for the
next IL mouths: but Egypt has drop
ped from the list of exporting coun-
tries, and India does not seem able
to continue her exports. The gov
eminent has assumed that there will
be an eXportable surplus of 100000
quarters; but an Indian crop author
ity denies that the famine is over, or
that the 1901 crop is abundant"

NATIONAL ROLL OF HONOR.
The PeusiOn Roll Now Contains L.
O4I,321 Names OF Veterans and
Their DEFENDANTS.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Mr. H. Clay
Evans, commissioner of pensions, has
completed his annual report for the
fiscal year ending June SO, 1901. The
report shows there were 44,225 claims
allowed during the fiscal year 1901 for
original pensions. The number of
names added TO the roll on account of
renewals and reservations was 1861.
| The total number of names now on
! the roll is 1,G41,321.
On June 80, 1870, The last day Of the
last fiscal year, there were 993,520
pensioners. Twelve years ago, on
June 30, 1880, there were 1884, pen
sioners The roll for the year just
closed is "high-water mark" in the
history of the pension bureau. The
next largest number of pensioners
reached was in the fiscal year OF 1898,
the number being 993,7l4, or within
200 Of the number which were on the
rolls at The beginning of the last ifs
cal year. The report will show that
the losses in the pension roll during
the fiscal year of 1901 were from the
following causes: by death, IS, 153:re-
marriage, S53; minors reaching the
age of 16, 1,53S; other causes, 1,26l.
The figures given show that the net
gain of pensioners during the year
was 1906.
Of the pensions granted during the
year 1914 were on account of the
civil war and 3,S49 on account of the
war with Spain. The losses to the
roll included: War of the revolution,
q war of 1912, 215; war with Mexico,
826; Indian wars (1S32-1S42), 544. The
appropriations for the payment of
pensions during the fiscal year of
1901 was $144, 900, 900, and of this $780,

To add to the horror of the terrible
disaster her boilers exploded as she

FATALLY SHOT.
Tragedy Resulting from the Cainan-
Marshall Episode.

Nicholasville, Ky, Aug. 14.-John
Marshall, a well, known farmer, was
shot and fatally wounded to day by
John Higgs. According to the story
told by John Higgs and his brother
Jas. Higgs, Marshall approached James
Higgs in threatening manner, drawing
a pistol. While the men were struggling
for possession Of the weapon, John
Riggs stepped to the door of his store
and shot Marshall, the ball entering his
right side and passing through his body.
Marshall figured prominently in the
Cainan case in Louisville a short time
ago, having his wife and man named
Cainan arrested after they had eloped.
The direct cause of the present shoot
ing is said to be that Marshall claims
that Riggs carried notes between his
wife and Uainan. The Higgs brothers
were arrested and lodged in Jail.

IN ANY GARB.

In olden times when a girl grew up,
They tied her with ropes of gems.
They shackled her ankles and wrists
with ore,
And crowned her with diadems.
They soaked her tresses in perfumed
oil,
They rubbed her with pastes and
things
Then brought her forth, as a queen,
beit
To rivet the gaze of kings.
But nova dip in the tumbling waves,
With rest on the sands between,
A linen shirt, and sailor hat
And she's just as much of queen.

FATAL. EXPERIMENT.
Man Contracts Yellow Fever from
Mosquito Bite and Dies.

Havana, Aug. 10.-Chief Surgeon
Harvard announced to-day that the ex-
periments in the investigation of the
propagation of yellow fever 50 far as
these involved the mosquito test will be
discontinued. This decision was taken
because one of the nonimmunes who
was recently bitten by an infected
mosquito died of yellow fever to-day.
The man was Spaniard, who desired
to become an immune and therefore
allowed himself to be bitten bv an in
fected mosquito. Another man who
was bitten is also suffering from very
bad case. Both were bitten by insects
which had been set apart for the exper
iments of DR.. Caldas, the Brazilian ex-
pert, who has been arranging to dem

THE RIGHT.

[By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Right is the seed within the sod
That knows not why, but thro' the

Uplifts itself to elk for God.
Right is the impulse of the soul
That stirs thro' all the sense control
Insisting on nobler goal.
Whatever helps you to the height
OF your best self, and gives you light
To see Gods truths-that thing is

Young Inventor Claims That - VIII
Play an Important Part In ene
industrial and Trade Lifea$
Of the Future. ' * ga

In . recent lecture delivered before
the British Society of Arts, Guglielmo
Marconi, the perfecter of wireless tie.
legraphy, reported progress. Maroon
has been actively at work for several
years on the commercial installation
of his system throughout the world
and in developing, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
devices and methods of Transmitting
signals through space without wires.
An authoritative statement FROM him
amounts to summary of what q has
been accomplished up to date with the
new wonder. % -
First reports of the work off, the
wireless telegraph indicated that
while it was extremely interesting
from a scientific standpoint, in Prac-
tice it possessed such important'lsmi-
tations as to make it of no great com
mercial value, except in few places
where conditions were peculiar. - The
reports of the failure of. the system
as tried during the operations OF the
British army in South Africa tended
further to confirm the idea that the
wireless telegraph would never reach
a position of great industrial val1e.
To people possessing these ideas,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the
statements of Marconi will carry
great enlightenment. BY a number of
most ingenious inventions and devices
he has done away with the principal
drawbacks at first experienced and
has developed new system OF wire
less telegraphy which is as far ahead
of the one used by him at the begin
ming as his first work was in advance
of the original experiments of Hertz
and Henry. In fact, he states that the
system and apparatus he first put in
use are out of date and practically
yalueless, and are being rapidly super
seeded by his new inventions.
The principal and vital objection OBJ
served in the first installations OF the
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1901-07-26

wireless telegraph was that there was
no way of protecting messages from
the disturbances caused by other mes
sages or by meteorological conditions.
Privacy of messages was impossible,
and too many stations caused hopeless
confusion of signals. Blythe invention
of an object which looks like big cyl
Under of copper, with a wire reaching
from the ground up through it's center,
Marconi has succeeded in making the
messages sent at one station recelv-
able only at the particular station in
tended. He has thus made it possible
to increase greatly the number OF sta
tons in a given locality without caus-
ing trouble. A fexibility of operation
approaching that of the wire telegraph
has been the result.
Other great improvements recently
developed in wireless telegraphy have
reduced enormously the height of the
wires necessary to transmit and re-
ceive signals, and have increased the
distance to which messages can be
sent. A portable apparatus which can
be attached to railroad car, and be
ready for use even when the train is
moving, is another development of in
terest. According to Marconi, the prob
lens which proved too severe for wire
less telegraphy in the Boer war In
South Africa are now easy of solution.
Marconi devoted a large part of his
address to refuting the statement that
the wireless telegraph was not yet a
commercial proposition. He named
score Of places in various parts of the
globe where public messages were be-
ing handled at regular rates with
profit. Over IS ships of the British
navy have been provided with the APP
paratus, and practically all lightships
and detached lighthouses belonging to
Great Britain have been fitted with it.
Many lives and much property have
been saved with it's assistance. The
Borkum lightship, belonging to the
German government, on Borkum riff,
reports sos commercial messages re-
ceived from May to October, of which
SIS came from ships, mostly the North
German Lloyd steamers.
If improvements continue to be
made in the next five years as in the
last five it is safe to say that wireless
telcgraphy will play large part in the
Industrial and commercial life of the
near future.

terests throughout the United States.
Mr.. Dawes has always been prompt
in the line of duty, as was evidenced
in the matter of the Seventh national
bank of New York few days ago.
One of Mr.. Dawes first orders,
after entering Office, stopped the
practice of the employment of ma
tional bank examiners for the private
EXAMINATION of banks. Early in his
term lie made ruling levying Sec
ond assessment upon stockholders of
insolvunt banks where the first as
sessmunt had been less than the law
authorized, and he established the
practice of rebating to stockholders
such r ortions of the prior assessment
as was determined by further liqui-
dation to have been excessive under
the law. This ruling changed the
long established practice of the Office
and was upheld by the courts, prac-
tically without exception. Controller
Dawes also organized a system OF
consolidation of ms olvent banks in
the last stages of liquidation in the
interests of economy, so that at the
present time 81 receiverships are be-
ing administered by two receivers
with greatly reduced expenses. He
also has uniformly fastened the iqui-
dation of insolvent banks. Upon en-
tering office the fag ends largely OF
the national bank failures of the 1893
panic were still undisposed OF. Dur
ing the last four years he has collect
ed. s25. 0o0, 900 cash from these assets,
which covered every description OF
property.
One Of the most prominent features
Of Controller Dawes administration
has been his annual reports to con-
eress. He came to Office at a time
when the monetary system OF the
country was q subject of general in
terest, and the arguments he adj
vanced in his reports became the sub
iect of widespread discussion by the
press and financial journals OF the
United States and England. he argued
against bank asset currency under
our present national bank system,
and opposed, with vigor, the idea OF
a prior lien of the note holder over
the d.positor upon assets of insolvent
banks. During his term he prepared
very complete statistics relating to
hankin1 in the United States. Owing
to the passage of the law of March
4, 1900, the national banking system
of the country has greatly increased.
During his administration he has Gre
ated 1856 banks. The number OF ma
tional banks now under his super
vision is 1904, having assets OF $5,-
