Says Large Part of Ireland Will Be Near Starvation. John E. Redmond, thé Parnellite leader and member of parliament for Waterford city, in an interview on the prospects of famine in Ireland, is quoted as saying: The failur of the crops, especially the potato crop, means that a large part of the people of Ireland will soon be on the verge of starvation. It is already reported that the inhabitants of many places in Connaught are eating bread, which in or- dinary times is regarded as a luxury and is not used except when potatoes are un- obtainable. “Agricultural experts have informaticn to the effect thyt_the present harvest is the worst since 1879, which was the most distressing recorded during the present generation, and the sufferings of the poor during the next eight months threaten to almost equal the horror of the famine of 1846. Ali the boards of guardians are providing for a large increase of poverty, ne itating dcubiing the rates in some districts. But immediate steps must be taken by the government if the people are to be saved.” << — Better Than Klondike. From the Baltimore Stn. Mr. John Miller, a successful fruit raiser of Berkeley county, W. Va., furnishes an object lesson far more attractive and en- couraging thaa even the highly colored re- ports from the far-distant Klondike gold region. He has just disposed of his apple crop to an enterprising northern dealer at $2.56%5 per barrel, and the aggregate will reach over $20,000. This is the product of thirty-four acres of mountain land, the as- sessed value of which is less than $3 per acre. As a side issue Mr. Miller realized between three and four thousand dollars from his peach crop. His father, from a much smaller apple orchard, realized be- tween eight and ten thousand dollars. This seems to be a golden year for apple grow- ers. The Sun has recently mentioned that a gentleman living near Winchester, Va., has sold his apple crop for $6,000, while a farmer in Albemarle county refused a cash offer of $15,000 for his erop of Albemarle pippins. A number of Albemarle farmers have sold their apple crops for from $3,000 } to $5,000. ———+o+—___. is We Need the Word. From Puck. “Why will peopie talk of overcrowded ?

President McKinley returned to, Wash- ington yesterday afternoon from Somerset, Pa. The special train which ‘carried the presidential party consisted of President Cowen’s private cur “Baltimore,” the Pull- man chair car “Abigail,” which served as a reception car at the various stopping places on the way, and a combination car, in the lead. Attorney General McKenna accompanied the President and Mrs. Me- Kinley, and the only ether members of the party were Miss Enijsley: nd Executive Clerk Geo. B. Cortdlyou:. There was no schedule arranged fat thé train between here and Somerset, and it was put through at an easy gait on ordens:from the train dispatcher of each alivision. The Presi- dent ‘had expressed a wish to arrive in Washington at 5:45, and: was landed here on the ‘dot. The offidils iof the road who accompanied the President were General Superintendent T. itzgerald, Superin- tendent J. E. Spurriet, F:'A. Heusten of the Midland division; D. §. Maroney and Trainmaster J. S. Notris,;who rode on tre engine and personally handled the train. At Cumberland theePresident was intro- auced by Governor Lowndes to the crowd at-the ‘station, and made a brief address. He said: “My friends and fellow-citizens: I appre- ciate this manifestation of your rezard and good will. F rejoice as I travel through this country at the good feeling manifest, at the unity and fraternity prevailing and the warm. appreciation which the people have for this country and its institutions. I am glad to meet and greet you here to- day, and my prayer is that the people shall have prasperity and plenty, and the na- tion peace and tranquillity. I thank you all and bid you good afternoon. Arrival, There was a very small gathering at the Baltimore and Ohio depot in this city et ), the hour when the train was expected. The cabinet was represented by Secre- tarles Bliss and Wilson and Postmaster General Gary. Col. Bingham and Assistant Secretary Pruden of the White House staff were also on hand. As the train slowed up at the station the cabinet officers en- tered the drawing room of the private car and after a few minutes’ talk with the President the party descended to the car- . The President was cheered as he pared on the his hat in acknowledgme McKinley to alight. With on one hand and Secretary Bliss on tie other, Mrs. McKinley waiked across the platform to the carriage and the party was driven at once to the White Hou The run from Somerset was uneventful, except for the crowds which greeted the train at the stopping places en route. The President looked in good health and spirits, and expressed himself pleased with his out- ing, but glad to return to Washington. Serena At the instance of Acting Secretary Roosevelt, the Marine Band proceeded to the grounds south of the White House at Y o'clock last evening and signalized the return of the P. nt and Mrs. McKinle by enjoyable serenade. The bani was accompanied by Col. Heywood, Capts Harrington and Mc and Lieut. Draper of the ma An excellent program was rendered including the fol: lowing numbers: “Home Again,” Medl of national airs, “The Grand Army Patrol, “Quanto in T’amo,” Serenade, and “Home, Sweet Home.” The President and Mrs. McKinley enjoyed assisted M the President a most the music very much and were warm in their expressions of appreciation of the compliment. Seated with them on the veranda of the mansion listening to the delicious strains of the band were the mar- ine officers already mentioned, Secretary and Mrs. Alger, Senator Kyle of South Dakota, Col. John J. McCook of New York and Mr. A. J. Duncan, a relative of the President.. Secretary Alger, who had been il since Friday night, was generally con- gratulated upon his quick recovery. 'S NEED: e+ GAIN FROM EUROP Statistician Hyde Dixcusnes the Wheat Crops of the World. ‘The complete monthly réport of Mr. John Hyde, the statistician of the Department of Agriculture, was issued, today. Of the wheat situation the report states: “High prices for wheat shave for several weeks past been bringing out supplies quite freely, and increased stpplies have, in turn, reacted upon prices, causing some decline from the highest figures of August. The general tenor of ‘the information gieaned from all available sources is not, however, of a character to warrant the expectation or the fear, according as the matter is regarded frém the consumer's or the producer's point of view, of any ma- terial cheapening of wheat until another crop is in sight, with a prospect of ampler stocks. “With an annual average European pro- duct of over 1,428,000,000 bushels during the six years from 1891 to 1896, inclusive, we exported an average of 166,373,872 bushels a year. This year the European crop, ac- cording to Broomhall’s Corn Trade News, will, in round numbers, amount to 1,329,- 009,000 Winchester bushels, or 99,000,00) bushels less than the average of the six years in question. If we make the com- parison with the figures given by.Beerbohm for 1897, the deficiency in the European crop is still greater, the figures, in millions of bushels, being: Average for 1891, 1,428; crop of 1897, 1,315; difference, 113. “That is, according to Beerbohm’s esti- mate of this year’s crop, there is a de- ficiency of 113,000,000 bushels in European countries, as compared with their average product for the six years 1891-1896—an average which includes the exceptionally small crop of 1891. To make up this de- ficiency little help is to be expected from India, Argentina or Australasia for months to come, and in so far as Europe will have to import a larger quantity than usual, she will have to draw it mainly from North America, and especially from the United States, the Canadian contribution being relatively small. Official returns for On- tario and Manitoba give for these two provinces an aggregate of 51,042,253 bush- els. If the Argentine crop shall escape the ravages of locusts, it seems likely to turn out unusually well, and from January, 1898, when the bulk of the harvest will be got in in Argentina, that country may have more or less wheat to export, as the latest mail advices represent the crop as being in fine condition, and the weather highly favorable. There are, however, many chances of serious damage during the next three or four months. The latest accounts from Australia indicate that the drought from which that country has suffered for the last two or three seasons has been broken, and that the wheat crop is giving good promise throughout most of the Aus- tralian colonies, but the area was nar- rowed by drought at seeding time, and, as stocks must below, it is not likely that even with a full yield the crop sill be one out of which any great amount can be spared for exportation. The present high prices would ordinarily tend to»encourage the sowing of an increased ‘breadth in India, should the weather be: favorable, this fall, but any inclination on the part of the poorer cultivators to take advantage of such favorable conditions will probably be in a great measure thwarted by the im- poverished conditions in which they have been left by the famine in the greater part of the wheat-growing districts. “But leaving out of view the fact that the burden of supply for Europe will fall more largely than usual upon the United States, it is evident that there would, in any case, be a demand for a larger sur- plus than is to be expected out of this year’s crop. If to our average annual ex- port for the six years 1802-1897 we add a European shortage of 99,000,000 bushels, figured out by Broomball, we get a total of 265,873,872 bushels, and in so far as we fall short of supplying that : quantity, Europe, as compared with‘an average year, must suffer a scarcity imiher bread sup- BY, except in so fareas she can avert it y drawing on the stacks that may remain out of. previous: crops.

Mr. Lyons stated that he was still a can- didate for the Augusta post office and for that only, and that he had not contem- plated withdrawing or seeking a treasury position. W. H. Johnson of Atlanta, United States marshal, and an influential state leader, confirmed Mr. Lyons’ statement. The various parties to the controversy were at the Post Office Department yester- day, and it is thought that a final decision will be reached during the week.
