House of Commons adopted the education
bill. which is the principal measure intro
duced by the liberal government. The
main features of the bill are against al
lowing public money for UNCONVENTIONAL
instruction. and that all schools receiving
public support are to give the same re-
ligious instruction two mornings week
by special staff, but attendance on these
exercises not TO be compulsory. The bill
now goes to the House of Lords, which is
expected to oppose it. The House of

NEW WHEAT RECORD.
TOTAL YIELD is ESTIMATED AT
759,oso,ooo BUSHELS.
Government Report Shows that
Worlds Figures Are Beaten
Corn Promises to Establish High
Mark-Oats Above Average.

The greatest wheat crop in American
history, which also means the greatest
wheat crop ever raised by any country
on earth, is officially measured up by
the Department of Agriculture in the
latest crop report. Final figures, sub
ject to the usual December revision.
are made on winter wheat, which is all
harvested. Percentage estimates only on
spring wheat are given, as the harvest
of this grain is not yet completed. The
grand total is 759.030,000 bushels.
That the big record is made easily
and that the country has not yet done
its best is shown by the fact that the
spring wheat promise is only for full
average crop, the winter wheat yields
having been tremendous enough to
make a record-breaking grand total for
the two combined.
This years wheat yield has out
claSsed the famous wheat crop of 1901
by about 100000 bushels. although
the spring wheat promise this year is
$4,000 900 bushels behind that produced
in that year.

PANAMA CENSUS TAKEN.
Almost 80. 900 People in Canal Zone
or at Work on Istbmus.

OF AT w Ork on 1stnmuss
According to a census taken by the
health department of the isthmian canal
zone the population of the zone is y, 1871.
As the inhabitants are constantly moving
it was impossible TO enumerate all OF
them and ii is estimated that the numbsr
missed is about 5000. In addition to
this the officials say there should be lib
eral allowance probably 10 per cent, fol
persons who live just outside the zone
but are employees of the commission. This
allowance would bring the total to al
most 10000. Blacks outnumber whites
in all the settlements on the canal zone.
At Culebra there are 617 whites, 1856
blacks aud f5S yellow persons, giving the
town population of 4,S01 and showing
it TO be by far the largest place on the
zone. The census of Colon and Cristobal
showed the actual population of the two
cities to be 12,77j. The census taken IN
April shows that the total number OF
white Americans on the Isthmus of Pan
anna was 3.264. According to the latest
census the entire population of the canal
zone and of the cities of Panama, Colon
and Cristobal. which are at the ends OF
the canal and a part of the zone to all
purpose, although they are under the
Panama government. is 81 ,459.

DOGS BONE IN BoY,s LEG.
Rare Operation to Save Limb of
Michigan Boy.

An operation which has aroused the
interest of medical men was performed
in Harper hospital, Detroit, recently by
DR.. FL. o. Walker. A portion of the
fibula, or lower side calf bone, of boy
of II was removed mad replaced with the
corresponding portion of the skeleton of
young dog. The inserted portion has join
ed the healthy sections of the boys hbula
and it is all now growing as one piece.
Danny Buck is the son of wealthy Ian
sing furniture manufacturer. The boy
had suffered from babyhood from ten
dency to tuberculosis. He lost the use of
one of his legs and was taken to Harper
institute, where staff doctors were called
into consultation. They were satisfied
that some form of necrosis or death of the
bone had set in. The boy was taken to
the operating room and a young dog,
healthy in every part, was also brought
in. The child and dog were given an an
esthetic at the same time. As the opera
ton was finished by the surgeons the
dog who had made it all possible was al
lowed to die palnlessly by continued doses

The aggregate of new demands In
the leading manufacturing branches
sustains favorable deductions as 10 fu-
ture activity. An assuring evidence
of stability appears in the remarka-
BILE strength which characterizes the
raw material markets and the unprece-
denied consumption of supplies enter
ing into the finished products of the
mills and workshops. Distributive deal
ings exhibit rapidly expanding tend
ency. The markets are unusually we'll
attended by visiting buyers, and this
has greatly stimulated orders for gem
eral merchandise to be forwarded with
in the next six weeks. Transactions in
staple goods exceed those of year
ago, the buying being we'll distributed
in the textiles, wearing apparel, boots
and shoes, house furnishings and food
products. Western merchants are much
encouraged in their operations by the
splendid results attained in agriculture
and are planning for the largest fall
business ever known.
Local retail trade has made season
able Roadway, and summer stocks are
we'll reduced. The forwarding of fin
ished materials and store supplies ex-
ceeds all previous volume and is about
to be much augmented by the jobbing-
house shipments.
THE total quantity of grain handled
at this port aggregated S,2S5,57S bush

The corn crop is also making gigan-
tic strides and promises TO make as
great a gain in the last few months of
its e. istence as it did last year, when
it gained nearly 100000 bushels be-
tween August and harvest. During July
it gained nearly 60000,000 bushels, and
it is now only 100000 bushels behind
last years yield, which was the great
est on record for this or any country.
The oats crop is about 150OOO,OOO
bushels short of last years which was
in turn the second largest ever raised
in the United States. Despite this i'm
mense shortage it is till large crop
and above the average.
