Agent. July 18, 1892. Her remains THE WORLD'S WHEAT. Figures Claiming to Snow a Considerable Shortage. Kastsas City, Ma, July 2a The information now available relative to the wheat crops of the world indicates that the aggregate of supplies will be leas this year than last.

Remembering the sensational predictions of world-wide famine that were made by many crop statisticians a year ago, this statement will probably be doubted my many. But it is nevertheless true, and unless the estimates of crops in various countries are materially changed between now aad harvest time, the actual conditions of supply and demand will justify a higher average value for wheat during the year 1892-93 than the conditions justified during the crop year which has just ended. This year Russia promises to have fair wheat crops and moderate rye crops. But the increase in the yields will not be available to go on the markets of the world. Official reports covering three-fourths of the Indian crop have been published.

They show a crop 58,000,000 bushels less than that of last year. India's entire exports last year were 57,000,000 bushels and that was the greatest year's exportation in the history of the country. Out of this year's short wheat crop nearly 20,000,000 bushels have already been shipped. The crop of Australasia is 5,000,000 bushels less than last year and very little wheat is going forward from that country to Europe. The English wheat crop, according to late issues of the Liverpool Corn Trade News, a standard authority, will be 15,000,000 bushels less than last year.

The acreage of wheat in the United Kingdom is 7 to 10 per cent below that of last year, and in some districts the harvest will be very light. The highest estimate of the wheat crop of this country, based on the June percentages of condition reported by the statistician of the agricultural department, is 522,000,000 bushels. The Cincinnati Price Current estimates the crop to be 505,000,000 bushels, with the chances favoring less rather than more than these figures. The probabilities are that Kansas will raise more than she is given credit for. But throughout the states of the central west the harvest is turning out short of the early promises.

It is al-mest certain, therefore, that the crop of this country will not exceed bushels. That is 91,000,000 bushels less than last year. All 1 lis leadiuff Dailies For Sale interred in the St. John cemetery Wednesday evening. Kickapoo Indian oil at the Star Drug Store.

The Subscriptions Received for any Paper Pub- Texas railroad took place at Adair station on the Cherokee division of the road about 9:30 o'clock last night, resulting- in the killing' of one man, the wounding of three others and the loss to the express company of a large sum. The notorious Dalton gang, who had been camped in the Indian territory, between Adair and Pryor creek, for sev-m! days, made their way to Adair about 9 o'clock last night and at the muzzles of Winchesters, pointed in the faee of the station agent, ransacked the office of the station of all its money and valuables. Having accomplished this the robbers, seven in number, sat down at the station and coolly awaited the arrival of passenger train No. 2, due there at 9:42 o'clock. When the train was slowing up at the station the robbers covered Engineer Glen Ewing and his fireman with their Winchesters and no sooner had Conductor George W.

Scales and his porter stepped off the train than both of them were also forced to face Winchesters. Three of the robbers then compelled the fireman to leave the engine and with his coal pick aid them in securing admission to the express car. Up to this time Messenger George P. Williams had persisted in his refusal to open the door. One of the bandits then shouted that he had placed dynamite under the car and would blow it to atoms if the door was not opened.

He fired, by way of emphasis, several shots into the car, which passed uncomfortably near the head of the messenger and he gave in and opened the door. The three men spran into the car and while one covered the terrified messenger with his gun, the other two turned their attention to the safe. The messenger was threatened with death if he did not open it. He finally succeeded and the robbers made short work of its contents, taking everything they could find, even to things that were of no value to them at alL After relieving the messenger of his watch the robbers bound him and dumped him in a corner of the car. While the three robbers were in the express oar, another robber was seen to back a spring wagon up to the door of the ear and the contents of the safe were thrown into the wagon.

Pittsburgh, July 2. An Associated press representative made a tour of the Homestead steel mills, being the only newspaper man who has succeeded in gaining admission behind the now famous fence which surrounds the company's property. He found about 150 men at work, most of them new employes. Four furnaces in the armor plate department were eharged yesterday and a complete resumption in this department will take place to-day.

The melting department has been fired up, but it will take seven days to get this branch of the mill running again. The open hearth departments Nos. 1 and 2, the mechanical department and the armor plate departments were all being worked, but in a desultory way. The assistant superintendent said that a number of men had applied for employment yesterday and that he expected quite a number of such applications to-day. This official stated that the company had up to this time been unable to secure enough mechanics to complete the necessary repairs so they started the works without them.

He is confident that for the mill to resume operations successfully for a day or two many of the former employes would return to their old positions. A large number of colored men arrived in Pittsburgh yesterday and visited Mr. Frick in squads. They carried satchels and were evidently strangers in the city. Their ultimate destination is supposed to be Homestead, but up to last night they had not been seen there.

The Defending: Counsel. Pittsburgh, July 20. The locked out men at Homestead propose to make a great legal fight for the acquittal of the persons against whom informations have been made. They have secured the services of Gen. Benjamin F.

Butler and ex-Gov. Hoadly, of Ohio, who will be here to defend the men. It is now believed that O'DonnelFs eastern mission was to confer with Gen. Butler at his home in relation to the legal complications and incldentially the political end. The men expect Gen Butler in Pittsburgh to-night.

Ex-Representative Cox, who came to Pittsburgh with persons representing 150,000 to bail Burgess McLuckie, told several persons that application would be made to cite the case into another county if it was thought necessary. The men are waiting for advice from their attorneys before making information against Carnegie officials. Thousands Drowned. London, July 19. The steamer Cat-terthun, which has arrived at Sidney, New South Wales, reports that when she touched at the island of Timor, there was a rumor current that the island of Sangis, in the Malay archipelago, had been destroyed by a volcanio eruption and that the whole population, comprising 12,000 souls, had perished.
