WALKERTON, - - - INDIANA TO DEFY THE SULTAN UNCLE SAM'S CRUISER TO FORCE THE DARDANELLES Bancroft Ordered to Proceed at Once to Constantinople Great Suffering in Ecuador’s Capital City, Guayaquil—To Build Sanitariums. Bancroft on the Way. Washington, D. C. dispatch: The United States Government will try to scare the Sublime Porte with ?s little toy cruiser, the Bancroft. The Bancroft is to force its way into the forbidden waters of the Ottoman Empire and settle grave diplomatic questions of three years. The plan is an important move toward the settlement of numberless controversies with the Ottoman Government. Commander Charles Belknap has orders to proceed without delay to Constantinople, the hitherto practically forbidden capital port of Turkey. At Smyrna Minister Terrell will board the Bancroft, which will become the dispatch boat of our legation by this simple action. No formal request is to be preferred forth- privilege of entering the Sea of Marmora and no opportunity will be given the Porte to exercise the powers of denial. It is not anticipated the Turkish authorities on learning of the purpose of Minister Terrell, will resist forcibly the approach of the Bancroft to their capital. That action is fraught with too many disastrous results. Besides, the United Slates Government has the tacit support cf Russia and other foreign powers in its movement to command the Sultan's attention. Thirty Thousand Homeless. Zimmerman & Forshay.

The losses aggregate more than 100,000.000 pesos and more than thirty thousand persons are homeless and without bread.” Sanitariums for Consumptives. Twenty-five years ago Dr. Charles Denison, of Denver, in an article on eonsumption and the beneficial effects of Colorado air. advocated the insurance companies send their consumptive policy-holders to sanitariums where their hves, by careful medical treatment, could be prolonged for periods ranging from two to twenty years.

__ ■ a FIGURES ON CROPS. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT SENDS CUT A STATEMENT. Wheat Is Short in Quantity and Poor in Qral ty — Ger.cr il Conditions of Corn I 9 90.5 Per Cent, Agaiuat 91 in September. Crop Statistics. The returns to the statistical division of the Department of Agriculture for October show that the wheat crop will be generally short in quantity and poor in quality, owing to unfavorable weather, drouth at seeding time, deficiency of snow protection and excessive rains after harvest, producing scanty growth, shriveled grains and rust. The worst is in the great region of Ohio and Kansas and adjoining States. Crops are fairly good in New Jersey and Maryland ami adjoining parts of Pennsylvania and New York, also in the Rock Mountain valleys. The returns of yield per acre of all wheat indicate a production of 11.9 bushels, which is .6 of a bushel less than the preliminary estimate for 1595. The rate of yield of the most impoitant States is as follows: New York. 17-: Pennsylvania, 14; Ohio. 9; Michigan, 12; Indiana, 9; Illinois, 1,;.(>; W isconsin, 14.7»; Minm'Sotn. 14; town, 15; 'Missouri, 10.7; Kansas, 11; Nebraska, 14; Sou’h Dakota, 10.5; North Dakota. 10; Washington, 16; Oregon. 15.5; California. 14.5. The indicated quality for the country at large is 84.4 per cent., against 85.7 last year. The averages of a few selected States are: New York, 93; Pennsylvania, S 4; Kentucky, 74; Ohio. 67: Michigan. 89; Indiana. 71; Illinois, SO; Wisconsin, SO; Minnesota. SO; lowa, S 3; Missouri. SO; Kansas. 81; Nebraska. 84; South Dakota, 90; North Dakota. 87; Washington, S 5; Oregon, 87; California, 94. The returns make the general condition of corn 90.5 per cent., against 91 for the month of September. The averages of condition in the large and suridus corn States are as follows: Tennessee, 80; Kentucky, 97; Ohio, 106: Michigan. 102; Indiana, 106; Illinois. 102; Wisconsin. 9S; Minnesota. 97; lowa, 102; Missouri, 85; Kansas, SI; Nebraska, 101. The preliminary estimate of the yield of oats is 24.3 bushels per acre, against 29.6 a year ago; quality, 74.9. ranging from 55 in Kansas to 104 in Montana. 'Pie average yield per acre of rye is 13.3; of barley, 25.6. Conditions of buckwheat is 86 per cent.: Irish potatoes. 51.7: tobacco, 76.9. Cotton shows a decline of 3.5 points from the September condition, which was 64.2 per cent., against 60.7 for the present mouth. The percentages by States are as follows: Virginia, 58; North Carolina. 64; South Carolina. 67: Georgia. 67; Florida. 66: Alabama. 61; Mississippi. 60; Louisiana, 61; Texas, 57; Arkansas, 53; Tennessee, 69; Missouri, 79. The department's report as to the condition of cotton last m-mth is fully sus- ; tained by the returns for the present ’ month. In all the States east of the Mis- ; sisslppi River little or no top crop will be ’ made and the crop will ail be gathered by ■ the middle of the mouth. Damage is re- ' ported from Mississippi by frosts on the • 28th ami 29th of last month. Caterpillars and rust are complained of in the S.a Island district of Florida. A slight improvement has been made in some few Louisiana and Arkansas counties, but the crop will be gathered before the close of the month. There has been a general deterioration also in Texas. In some sections the crop has been injured by worms, rust, frost and heavy rains the last of September. There will be a very small yield from the top crop, and the reports sav the crop will all be gathered by Nov. 1. CHRISTIAN SCIENCETEMPLE. Prettiest of Its Kind Recently Erected in New York City. The religion of Christian S. ience has a new temple in New York City, and it ia one of the prettiest of its kind in th? country. It is the edifice at 137 AA est 48th street, and was formerly the house ■ in which the congregation of All Souls’ i Protestant Episcopal Church worshiped. | The building has been completely remodI eled. Nothing remains of the original j building but the four walls and the galleries. The brick front has been trans- • I 5 1: W r® 'si 1i i® SEWTEMFLE FOK CHKISTIAX SCI ENTISTS. formed into an ivory color, and a brown stone stoop has been added to each of the three entrances. Each stoop has a wrought iron railing and fence. The windows are now of stained glass, and a heavy cornice ornaments the roof front. ' In New York State are forty-six Christian Science churches. The preaching consists of reading selections from the Bible and from the L-ook written^ by the founder of the religion, Mrs. Eddy. During tiie past ten years the growth of Christian Science has been truly remarkable. A decade ago th? cult was limited to a few pupils of the Boston lady, who taught that Christ's mission was as much to heal as to teach. Tiie philosophy of Mrs. Eddy claims more than 27i6,000 believers scattered over the whole country. Mrs. Eddy published her gos{»el of religion and health. “Science and Health," in 1870. It passed through 110 editions, and is still in great demand. The Laconia. N. 11.. <’ar Company, through its president, Perley Putnam, a large creditor, petitioned for the appointment of a receiver. The entire indebtedness is $350,000, of which $150,000 i* mortgaged bonds. The present financial difficulty is attributed to the general depression of business. The State Department has received official in’orm-aUon from Consul General Lee ut Havana that Samuel T. Toion. who was taken into custody by the Spaniob authorities in Cuba Sept 4, had. been rwleasedt
