THE CROP CONDITIONS.
Iv is gratifying to hear that the crops theeughout Prince Kdward [sland this year are in good heart and that the yield prom- ises to be large. Batin some other parts of the world there is not the same story to tel’. According to late advices from the United States Consul at Moscow the Rue- sian Goveroment has under consideration* A proposition to “forbid the exportation cf grain from that covotry, owing to tie fail- ure of the crops andthe smal! supply on hand. The Consul quotes from a lecture delivered recently by a Russian civil eng’. becr, urging thataction to avoid distre g in which it was sta grain in western Eu cient to Jact a month. that, in addition to of bay and straw sh

A BIG PENSION LIST.
Ix estimating the cost of the war between the United States an.| Spain, as the Boston Tranécript points ont, there bas evidently not been much attention given to the pen- rion list that is likely to grow out of the trouble, This, the Transcriptiotimstes, will be no little sum, The present strength of the regular army, according to Adjutant Gneral Corbin, amounts to more than 277,000 regulars and volunteers. With the 35,00@ men comprising the navy there ate niore than 310,000 eoldiers and éailors in service. The mortal ty in battle has, upto the presentjiime, not! 2en large, but accord- ing to General Shafter’s latest and some- wat starting figures the ravages of fever seem likely to he more formidable than the ravages of bullets, Up to the present sixty-two applications for pensidns have been filed at the Pension Bureau, as a result of death and injuries in military and nava) service The
gives it as hie opinion that in four or five
in the press ent war. pension conimnissioner years there wil! be 90,000 pensioners to look after in consequence of the present war. Theaverage annual value of each pension is $135.17, which would increase the pension roll by avout $12,000,000 a year, and this list would keep growing for quite a time, 52,000 new claims being al- lowed last year due to the Civil War. The Transcript thinks that as the military pay as weil pensions of the United States are much larger than in countries where large stardiny
as
armies are main sy : os , tained, there is neré & etrong cconomic argument against apn imperial policy in~ volving a big army and a big navy with frequent and datigeérous their hands.

—Some of the papers are asking why the Minister of Justic should b2 omitted from the the Quebec conference in ord+r to make room for Mr. Charlton. Ino this coonection the Montreal Gazette says: It certainly cannot be that Mr. Mills is thought lackirg in the qualificaticns for icternational : e rotiation+, for he has made a special study of international questions; is, in fact, professor of international law in the Univers ty of ‘lorunto, aod would probably bring to bear mire knowledge of the subjects to be discussed than any of the representatives chosen. Ir is to be presumed that it was thought Mr. Mills would not te of a sufficiently yielding dis- position, for on most questions he has an opinion of his own, ani is inclined to stick to it. As Mr. Mills will probably have the onerous duty of piloting the treaty through the Senate after it is concluded, hie omiesion from the Canadian delegation appears to be a mistake,

The Prisoners in the Proud Gase
SENT UP THIS MORNING CHARG- ED WITH MURDER
Their Trial Will take Place next January
At half pastten this morning the io- vestigation into the killing of Wm Proud was resumed by Stipendiary Magistrate Haszard. The first witness examined was :—
Wm Warren (swora) I live on Spring Park Road. I witnessed part of the fight on Spring Park Read on Monday las:. I beard a poise on the etreet, went to the frout door add saw the crowd and several ' men fighting. I live right opposite Thorne’s. [saw Geo Thorne, Edw Hugh. es and John Trainor engaged in the fight, | Lam not sure ofJoon Hugnes, I saw the Prouds being strack by all the prisoners except John Hughes. <A good many blows were struck, some of them pretty hard. I[ saw one of the Prouds fal). dou’. known whether 1 was (ne de easea or his brother. Idou’t know whether it was from the blows or from being drunk thavthey fell. The prisoners m y lave been drunk. I think Thorue wa- sover. When I dr nk, | mein the wo se of lq 10or— not Leipess. Lhey were uvuve of wuiem too druck to admouister a severe blow. They used nothing but the fists. I saw some- one try to kick tise man that fell, but he missed him. This ix tne fight that took
SV
place when the man was killed. It was on the middie of the stre-t, and surging | backwards and forwards. I saw the iwheel of the carriage go over Wan. Proud’s chest when he fell. After that they drove avav and came back and both got out of the wagou and ran at the prisoners. One
of them caught hold of Geo Thorne by the arm and spoketo him threatening tim. Thorne wae s:anding with his back to his own Louse, aod Edward Hughes was with him. I think he threatened to strike Thorne, and Edward Hughes struck him.
Proud was very drunk. Proud was be- tween Thorne and the carriage. I think
the Proud I am tpeaking of was the de- ceased. Itkink the blow that Hughes struck wasin the face,it was above the chest ar.d staggered Proud. There were a f w more blows atruck, but] dont know who etruck them. Next I saw was the deceased in the waggon. Ee looked as if very weak and leaned agaiust the side ot the carriage. There was a big crowd around,
Samuel Morrison (sworn)—I saw the fight last Mouday. It was taking place on the street in frout of George Thorne’s house, When | came aloug first [ saw Wm. Proud, Peter Proud, George Rodd end James Carr driving in a wagon! ‘hey stopped opposite Thorne’s and Ww. Proud and Carr got out and went as if to Carr’s hone. I eaw Redd sod Peter Proud eparring in ihe gargway by Thorne’s, just off the sidewalk. John Trainor ard John Hughes came out of ‘horne’s house and weot for a drive with Proud’s horee, Proud said, “Hold on, I’ll go with you.” They waited till he got in and drove about fifty yards down the road,then came back— Proud driving — and stopped = ia front ot Taorne’e. Proud told them to get out and they got out, he forcing them. Atthis time Wm Proud and Carr came along. George Rodd hed the whipin his hand. George Thorne took it from bim,~ut itin tbe socket:n] told the boys tu go away from the wayon and told Preud te drive on. Peter Proudand Trainor bad some words when Trainor got out of the wagon. Trainor was standing back from the wagon when Thoroe took the whip. When Peter Proud saw his brother com- ing along he jumped out to fight Trainor. They fought but | can't say who hit first Thurne and Joh: Hugh-s were staniing by. ran inat Trainor to tske his b vtier’s part as I guess. Theo Georgs Thorneh t Wm Proud aboutthe neck or the jaw.

Proud in the gutter with his fiets - hit him twice on the peck and made ‘wo kicks athim I don’t know whether be got his kicks in or pot. Theo Wm. Proud got into the wagon with Geo. fRod, and they drove dowo towards Carrs. They came back again in about five minutes time. George Thorne was standing on the sidewalk by his own house. Wm. Proud got ouc of the wagon and drew to hit Thorne and asked who bad hit him. I turned around just then aod saw John Trainor and Peter Prond isto a fight in the gangway on the south end of Thorne’s house. While Jobo Trainor and Peter Proud were fight- ing iv this gangway, Wm. Proud was out with his back agamet Che corner of the front of the house nextthe gangway. I! saw four or five arcund, all trying to get a crack athim. George Uhorne and Ed- ward Hughes were making puuches athim, I could not see the faces of the others. [ could not see where they bit him. I was trying to see both fights. [saw no kicking guing on. Wm, Proud did not fal! but walked over tohis wagon and whea he got halfway ie |e fell on the a:at. { went arcund vo look at his face and saw his eye swelled and his mouth bleeding. Edward Hughes at first was standing on Ubhorne’s doorstep, tuen went over to Wm. Proud and commenced hitting him. After Wm. Proud left the house and got into his carriage he never uttered a word.
While Wm. Prond was standing with his |
back to the houve it weuld not be possible for anyone to come bebind and etrike him, but it was possib'e tor someone to come up in front and etrike hie without my seeing him. J am sure no one struck bim from the time he left the eorner of the house till be got to the curriage

was after he had been tatally struck. There was a fight going on then between Joha Trainor and Peter Proud. Peter was trying togetinto the wagon to help his brother, and Trainor came up and hit him. [ pulled Trainor away. Then George Thorne, Edward Hughes and John Hugtes came along and took Trainor away ana the four of them went into Thornes.
Dr H VD Johnson (sworn): when I was
called to perform an antopsy on the body ot Wm Proud I found some braises on bis face, bis nose cut and bleeding, a cut on the ioside of his lower lip on the right side,» small bruise on tb: right side of his neck. Taking the fracture of the windpipe and tne conditions of the other organs into consideration, it would appear that death wa the result of the blow received in the vi isity of the windpipe.

Thecharge against the prisoners was then read by the clerk and they were asked to | testify in theirown behalf.
Kach prisoner made the same reply— “Not guilty.”

His Honor therefore remanded all the prigoners to stand trial at the Supreme Court.
