CHICAGO, May 91.-The papers publish re.
ports from large number of points in Illinois
and Iowa in regard TO the present prospect OF
the crops, from which it appears that the crops
are generally backward-particularly corn-on
account of the GOODNESS of the spring; but a
large area is being planted, and with fine wealth.
er henceiorward the prospect for at least an av.
eragc yield is good. Wheat, particularly fall, is
looking badly in many localities, and in some
counties they are blowing up wheat fields and
planting them in corn. This, however, occurs
in some of the more northern counties of Illinois
every season. Oats and other small grains are
generally looking well, the former cereal prom.
ising an abundant yield.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY sPY.l
WASHINGTON, May 81.
HOPES DASHED TO EARTH.
The pleasant hopes Of members that Monday
nightlwould see them on their way home, have
been suddenly dashed to the earth by Senators
Sumner and Schurz, who insisted upon occupy
ing one of the two last remaining working DAYS
of the session in political debate The indigna-
ton of the senate was such that as soon as Mr..
Sumner closed his speech, the chairman of the
appropriation committee offered resolution
resembling the adjournment resolution, and if a
vote could have been taken it would have been
adopted.
1t will doubtless be adopted tomorrow, but
the house will not assent. Instead of that ii
will propose a further extension of the session
till Wednesday, Or one week from next Mon.
day. If the senate declines to respond to this
amendment congress will stand adjourned
without date on Monday noon, with two appro.
priation bills and the tariff and tax bills not
passed. This is what wide-awake minority in
both houses desire, lof in an extra session they
enforcement bill; and they have some hopes Of
the kuklux bill.
MR. SUMMERS SPEECH
Took people generally by surprise. 1t had been
rumored that he was TO speak on the sale OF
French aims, and when it became apparent that
his speech was purely personal and intended to
defeat Gen. Grant at Philadelphia, much sur
prise was expressed. AS the speech was unex.
pectcd, there was small audience when the
senator begun, but long before he closed the
galleries were crowded and there was very little
standing room lett on the senate floor. As the
house adjourned early, its members came over
to listen to the speech.
The democrats were greatly delighted with it
One of them said that one hundred thousand
copies of it would be taken for circulation BY
democratic members. Among the cool headed
republicans who did not lose temper during the
speech, it is regarded as too violent, extreme
and bitter, to do Gen. Grant very much harm
either at Philadelphia or before the people
1t is conceded that it is fright
tul portrait of the president, but it is drawn
in such colors that it is believed by leading re-
publicans here that the people will reject it as
truthful represent 3tion of Gen. Grants charac-
ter. In short, that the work is oyerdone, and
hence failure. large audience is listening
this evening to Senator Schurz' speech on the
report of the French arms committee.

Inns resolution was adopted. Among those who
favored the narrow gauge were Messrs. Wilson
of Providence, Daggett of Attleboro', and Mar
bic of Grafton; aud among those who favored
the standard gauge were Messrs. Knowlton of
Upton and Kent of Milford. In the course of the
remarks the utmost confidence was expressed
that the road would be paying enterprise, which
ever gauge might be adopted. 1t was argued by
the majority that the whole road, fifty miles in
length, could he built and equipped, with the
narrow gauge, for 81 200 900, or sixty per cent
less than for the wide gauge, which would cost
about S2,OOO,0O0. 1t was also argued that the
cost of transportation would be Twenty-Five per
cent less on the narrow gauge than for the
broad, and the cost of running the road much
less. 1t is believed the road can be built
with fair encouragement from the
prominent business men of Worcester and
other places on the line. 1t was stated that coal
could be taken to Worcester from tide-water at
seyenty-iivc cents per ton, and pay a profit to
the road. The matter of organization of the
corporation under the general railroad law
was referred to the next meeting, to be held in
Horticultural hall, in Worcester, on Friday,
June 7.
