that tho box had contained an express rob

until Monday, when, after a bright morn
ing a dense fog came on. It was so
thick that from the bow nf the boat
It was difficult to see ono hundred feet
ahead. A great many Icebergs were pasM-d.
Between ten and four p. in. Illiy-clclit wero

serts that llio vessel's pace was slackened
In half speed. Mud, fully realizing thu dan

thickest the Well forward saw the spars arid
masts of a bark appear In the mist barely
twenty feet away. Tho bark lay nt anchor,
and, according tu the Captain's story, was
not ringing Its hell or keeping a lookout.
The signals to reverse the eualncs were
given, but she struck Hid Utile bark and
her Iron bow cut through the Decree Jeanne
with as little resistance as If she bad been
a jlixe of ehccM?. The pcoplo on the City
of Home saw a few barefooted Frenchmen
m blue fMicrnicn's blouses ruunlng
frantically forward on the bark, the
air was filled with their affrighted
cries, the shrill exclamations of
horror from the deck of tho steamer and
the bmrsn sounding of the steamer's fug
horn and then the bark went out of slhL
A few spars floated 011 the sea nnd four
men could be seen struggling in the water.
Life buoys were thrown to them, And as
soon as posiblo the steamer was stupjied
and backed to Where llio bark had been and
two boats wcro lowered, lly tills lime one
of the four fishermen had sunk, two were
clinging to buoys and A third floated along
side tho steamer supported by a Spar.
Fourth Officer A. C. Turner rigged a roiw
around bis body and taking another rope
had himself lowered to the man. Turner
succeeded In getting n loop about the
Frenchman's arm and neck. Strong arms
pulled him half way up the side of the

paramount interest at alt times,
acquire an additional Interest, and
the reports Of damage lo oar winter
whc.it caused considerable alarm
throughout the country. Hath tbe official

to bclievo advoittscmcnls, wa mlf,ht
think Ibst wu sbant havo a bushel lo

statisticians daliMc In the grain market,
and probably pet Up the figures to
suit their books, so that their
ststements can not be ImpllcUj
relied upon. That the winter wheat has
been Injured can not be questioned) but
the ixtcnl ol tbe Injury can certainly
not bu fUu'rcd out at present! and tbe
season having been backward all over the
world, It remains lobe seen whit Mother
Nature will do In the next month or two
toward rc-eslabllshlng a natural state of
aflilrs. In any esse, the accumnlallonof
wheal all over the world Is so large that
there Is not the slightest danger that ha
inanity will run short of bread, or even
lnvoto pay more for ll, ' Tbe best proof
01 this Is that, alarming reports not
wllhslandlug, the prlcu of wheat In our
lenlliu markets Is keeping steadily down
and does not adranco even on all the false
reports of shortages In wheat la other
countries.
In the last two or threo Weeks num
bers of telegrams have Insinuated that
the prospects of the crops In Kuropo are
iust as bad as they aro here, and that
ndla nnd Australia have suffered almost
as much as Hnrope. Of course all this
was published for llio purpose of pit
ting brc.-idsiuffs np. Hut hero are facta
githcrcd.fiom tbe best fliunclaland com
mercial articles of the London press 1
In India a bountiful wheat harvest has
Already been gathered In.
In Australia the yield Is far abovo the
average.
Suvr Zealand was visited by rain
storms la the middle of tbe harvest, and
his thus partially lost tbe advantage ol
an extra flue crop.
In Urcat HrlUln tbo dry weather ol
April began to be threatening, but the,
frequent showers which have Set in since
seem to have allarcd all the apprehen
sions ol the fanners In regard to bay, the
prospect of which seems to have been
particularly discoursing. Aa Is tbe
ciso In Ibis country, the season It
about A month backward In Ku&landt bul
tbe agriculturists say that the showers ol
May prove to have been Just as bene.flclal
as those which should have come lu
April. All that seems to be wanted It
warm weather for six or eight weeks,
and ll I hi. predictions ol weather pro
phets, both Hero and abroad, are worth
anything, tbo world Is going to hive II
very warm Indeed. It appears from re
ports lhat there is not to-day a single
crop la Great Britain which It
not In a promising condition.
The wheat crop has looked
well all tbiouzh the winter and spring,
bcltig none tbe worse for backwardness
It I every Where A full plant ol bcalthi

lug to the Daily AVici, of London "eiec
farmers who, as a role do not take s
sanguine view of crop prospects, gencr
Ally admit that tbey hive seldom seen sc
fliln A pmmlo wf a bounteous hirvct."
The drv April seems to nave affected
the south of Hassht as ll did Ureal
Britain; but, according to the St. Peters
burg papers, showers came to the rescue,
and the grain growers, who at one time
showed a disposition to keep the old crops
back, began freely to sell It again. It
seems, therefore, that In no part of tbe
globe need wnrklnsmen apprehend an
advance In the price of bread 1 and II
01 cad goes down, It will dra; down with
It the price of all tbe other articles ol
food, mako worklngmcn all the better off,
and ultimately revive tbe manufacturing
and Industrial Interests.
All the talk about the flfraers suffering
from tbe fall lu the price of grain is non
sense. To begin wlb, when wheat drags
other commodities down, farmers gel
more of them In cxchingefor It, and then
they can easily change from year to year
their system of culture. There Is no
earthly reason why American farmers
should Insist upon increasing their pro
duction of wheat when they ace that New
Zealand, Austria, India or HussU can un
dersell to em In tho markets of the world.
The point Is to knock out of the American
farmer's bead the obsolete Idea that this
country Is tbe only granary Id tbe world
Our corn will always Bod an Increasing
demand. With tho exception of lusala,
and the Danublan region, we are tbe
only producers of lu Dut wheat is grown

continued their hearing lo-dsy at the Itall
road Commissioner's office. William 1L
Llncolu, by invitation, addressed the onrn
mltten. He did not think shippers should
complain of the present rates, which are
ridiculously low. They are too low frthe
Interests of railroad stockholders. The
railroad business, he said, Is the worst and
most Absurdly managed of any In tho coun
try. One would expect the roads to lower
their rates when the water routecoinpetllUm
Is felt, but he had known roads to raise their
fates frequently at such seasons and lo
lower rates when business Is more than can
be handled. He thought a minimum rate
should be fixed by law. Fluctuating rates,
unsettled business (really. Thu suhlllti
nf rates Is more Important than the rate
itself. Mr. Lincoln believed that favo It
Ism was shown by the railroads In giving
knowledge of changes In rates to certain
shippers. Ho thouitit a general law, re
quiring at least ten days notlco of change
of rates, would lie equitable. He believed
In a national board of railroad commission
ers. Mr. Lincoln protested against the
double tariff system of railroads. He
believed In basing the tariff upon the inllc
rge. The pool system of tho country Mr.
Lincoln regarded as a farce. In any legis
lation upon the subject of rates he believed
a car load should be a unit, and that no re
lUictlor. should be made In rates for large
quantities. K. ('. Kimble, a commission
nun, chimed that New England shippers
bad to pay an extra of 33J per cent, on
shipments to Chicago for an additional dls
