NEW TURN IN LoRIMER CASE.
Former Representative Lantz Tells of a
Move to Elect Patterson Senator.

Chicago, Nov. l0.--Former State Rep
resentative Walter Lantz of La Grange,
ILL.,, testified before the Lorimer sena-
torial investigating committee yesterday
that former Springfield correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune, John Corwin,
now of Baltimore, came to him in 1909,
and suggested the use of money to elect
the late Robert w. Patterson Of The
Tribune as United States senator. Cor
win came to me and suggested that the
spreading around of a little change might
affect the sentiment of the forty-sixth
general assembly. He asked me if /
thought we could elect Patterson to the
Senate" said Lantz. Lantz did not say
what reply he made to Corwin. 'T
heard reports of corruption" he added,
"but no more than the general rumors
that are heard in connection with every
legislature" Lantz tsaid he had been
instrumental in defeating some of the
most infamous bills ever presented at
Springfield.

SUGAR OFF 10 POINTS MORE.
Price Now $50, Wholesale, or Decline
of ia Cents from Highest Price.

New York, Nov. l0-Owing to the
increasing competition of new crop sup
plies, the sugar market shows continued
weakness, and further declines were re-
ported yesterday. The price of refined
sugar was marked down 10 points to
the basis of $50 cents per pound for
fine graduated, making decline of near
ly Ia cents per pound from the high
record recently noted. Raw sugars We're
also unsettled and lower with the grade
known as Cuban centrifugal declining
to 5.l2 comparing with 5.57h, during
the height of the bull movement. The
new crop of Louisiana cane sugar as
well as the domestic beet sugar crop
is now reaching the market, and not
withstanding the extent of the decline
from the recent high levels, local mer-
chants reported that the market around
yesterdays prices was practically NOM
inal, with buyers holding off for further
concessions.

MASONIC TABLET FOR TAFT.
1t Represents the New Temple Being
Built in Washington.

Nashville Tenn, Nov l0.-When
President Taft visited Nashville last
night, James D. Richardson, sovereign
grand commander of the Scottish Rite
Masons, presented him a gold tablet,
representative of the 100000 Masonic
temple now under construction in Wash
ington. The tablet was enclosed in
morocco-bound leather case. On one side
Of the tablet is the impression of the
temple and the other contains the names
of the highest officials of the Masons

present to President Taft at the laying
OF the cornerstone of the Masonic tenn
pie last month, but the president was
not in Washington at the time.

Pay of French Ministers.

Ministers In France are not so well
paid as in England. All members of
the French cabinet receive the same
salary, f2,400 year, and as they have
to forfeit the allowance Of 1900 which
they receive as senators or deputies
their net annual gain through taking
office is only 1880. 1t is true they
are provided with official residences,
furnished, heated and lighted at the
public expense. Their tenure of Office
is, however, so precarious that they
ran never venture to let their private
residences, SO they save nothing under
the head of rent.--London Chronicle.

FOREIGN CROPS

The September Bulletin, issued by
the Agricultural department on for
eign crops, says in part;
Tentative official estimates of the
1911 cereal production of Canada,
France and Russia, issued by the gov
ernments of those countries during
September, indicates increases in the
Canadian and French wheat crops
of 55 million and Sc million bushels
respectively, as compared with yields
finally reported in 1910, but de-
crease in the Russian crop, as sug~
gested by appearances in the bloom
ing season, of lac million bushels.
Up to date provisory estimates
of their 1911 wheat crop have been
issued by eight foreign governments
of the Northern Hemisphere, which
usually produce near two-thirds Of
the so-called wheat crop of the world
The estimates compared with final
ones of the same countries in 1910,
show an increase of 47,226. 900 bush
els.
In Europe, as whole, the 1911
wheat yield is in volume doubtless
much above the average, and the ex-
cellence of quality, at least in the
western and central parts of the Con-
tinent, has seldom, if ever, been
surpassed. The average annual Eu-
ropean crop during the past five
years (1906-1910) was 1,795 million
bushels, of which 1927 million bush
els were grown in the western and
central states and SOS million bush
els in 63 governments of European
Russia. As is well known, wheat Gull
tYatlon in the last-named country has
within the past two years undergone
great expansion; in 1910, out of to-
tai continental production of L.
924 million bushels, western and cen
trail Europe raised 1925 million and
European Russian 500 million.
Enough is officially known Of
the 1911 prospect in Europe to
make it reasonably certain that
the west and center will this
year produce 125 to $50 million
more than the five-year average. so
that, should the Russian crop attain
even average proportions, or amount
to about $50 million bushels. the to-
tai European output will vary little
from that Of last year In this connec-
ton it is interesting to note that the
recently published estimate of the
Russian government puts the 1911
yield in 73 governments of European
and Asiatic Russia at 629 million

the western and central states.
Meadows and pastures were, In
many parts, burned up. Pros
poets for average yields of po-
tatoes and sugar beets were rem
dered hopeless, and prices have at
tanned a higher level than has been
reached in several years. The expect
ed output ofSturnips, mangolds and
fodder beets, important factors in the
European supply of animal food, was
heavily diminished. Corn which in
Europe ordinarily yields upward of
500 million bushels annually, is be-
lieved quantitatively under average;
the French and Austrian fields have
suffered from the drought; the Ital-
ian crop is unofficially estimated 25
to 80 per cent short; and Hungary,
the most important producer in Eu-
rope, reports her probable production
81 million bushels less than last year.
The hop crop, principally because
of Serious deficiencies in Austria and
Germany, is said to promise scarce
rs per cent of the outturn of the pre-
ceding year. Grapes were improved
in quality by sunshine and drought.
and vintages in the great wine-pro-
duciDg countri es-France, Italy and
Spain-will, it is believed, be about
average in quantity, but on the whole,
probably of superior quality. The 3
countries produce in average years,
an aggregate of billion gallons. In
1910 a partial failure of the crop
reduced their outturn to about l.
500, 100000.
Canada
The census and statistics Office of
the Dominion department of agricul-
ture issued September / 5 report on
the August 81 condition of the fields
of Canada and an estimate, computed
II the area sown, of the production of
spring wheat, oats and barley. The
per cent condition of spring wheat
was given as $3.50, oats S4.44, and
barley 84.73, as compared respective
ly with 1906, 80.03 and 1851 per
cent in September 1910. The condi-
ton of the other crops was generally
lower than in 1909 and ranged from
so to sc per cent. August rains are
said to have retarded ripening of GER
calls, and hail, frost, and rust to have
done some injury. Frosts occurred
late in the month in the western pro-
yinces and probably lowered the con-
ditiOn of wheat, barley and oats there

The Dominion's total oat crop is

estimated last year. OF the oats, 204,-
758,000 bushels were produced in the
three western provinces.
Barley, according to the September
report, has yielded $780, 900 bush
els in the entire Dominion, as compar-
ed with an outturn, as finally estimat-
ed, of As, 14S,00O bushels last year

He said: Had the Luka not been a
