THE prices of lumber are likely to be
pretty high this Summer, and may inter
fere some with building enterprises. The
lumber dealers in Cincinnati had a meet
ing few days ago and agreed upon
considerable advance in prices. The
Enquirer says: The stocks of lumber
through the country generally are low.
In the lumber regions in Michigan trouble
is experienced by the mills in filling
their orders on account of not having
been able to get their usual supply of
logs from the woods by reason of there
having been little or no snow the past
winter, and in addition the streams are
so low as to delay operations for the pres
ent, and resulting in many instances in
what is known technically as hang
up" The situation is bad not only for
builders, but for all manufacturers who
use fine lumber in any of its multitude OF
forms. The lumber-men seem confident
that prices will maintain themselves, and
that they may even go higher.

Latest as TO War Between England
and Russia.

LONDON. April 16.-The situation has
again grown gloomy, as has often been
the case before. This time, apparently,
scarcely ray of hope remains. All the
London morning journals agree as to the
gravity of the situation.
The Standards Berlin correspondent
says that England and Russia are as far as
ever from an understanding.
The Daily News Berlin kilograms con-
firm this view, and their author regards
the situation extremely serious. He de-
clares that the English Cabinet stands
alone, utterly isolated.
Mr.. J. A. Macgahan, the correspondent
of the Daily News at San Stefano, tele-
graphs that the situation is strained to
the utmost. The Grand Duke Nicholas
| is depressed and gloomy.
The first gun may be fired at any mo-
meat. The two great Powers are only
too surely drifting into war.
| The Journal des Debats, of Paris, says
it is useless to indulge any illusion re-
! specting the gravity of the present state
of affairs. We are, perhaps, OF the eve. of
a great battle, and amid a movement so
violent that threatens to carry everything
before it. Germany is the only State suf-
Efficiently powerful to- arrest the headlong
course of events, and magnanimous
enough to oblige. If it permits war it
will have failed in the duty imposed upon
it by its military and diplomatic power.

Representatives. Of the United. States of Anaeri-
ca in Congress assembled, That the bankrupt

to the day when this act shall take effect,
but as to all such pending cases, and all
future proceedings therein, the acts here
by repealed shall continue in full force
and effect until the same shall be fully
disposed of, in the same manner as if said
acts had not been repealed"

1t is a long step from a candidacy for
the Vice-Presidency of the United States
to one for a place in the Indiana State
Legislature, but it is reported that Gov.
Hendricks will be called upon to make
the sacrifice. The Democrats of Indiana
realize that tl.eir political hopes for the
next twenty years depend upon their get
ting possession of the Legislature at the
coming election, and to attain that object
all the party leaders are required to do
service in whatever they can be the most
useful. Gov. Hendricks ought not to hes
itate at such call.-Cin. Gdx

THE editor of the Register is shedding
crocodile tears because Mr.. Ellis was not
nominated by the Republicans of this
county for Commissioner. The editor
says call the Democrats have to do, is to
nominate better man than Mr.. Thorn
ton, and then, if possible, elect him. 1t
won't be possible. Mr.. Thornton is a good
man, and will be elected. tits the deter
mination CT the Republicans, this year, to
elect every candidate on their ticket. AS
to nominating better men, the Democrats
have not got them to nominate; so there
will be no use of any Republican going
outside of the party to vote for better
candidates.
