WASHINGTON, April 2.
Special Correspondence Of the IatsllIgsneer.
There Is serious trouble in the Inter
Oceanic Canal Committee Of the House.
The chairman, ]. Floyd King, Of Louis
lana, is aperiectly raw and inexperienced
Legislator, and has allowed himself to be
put down and kept out Of his rights so
long that the committee has become dis
satisfied with him, and he can no longer
get them to respond TO calls for meetings.
When the Monroe doctrine resolutions
were reported by him to the House, the
committee had instructed him to demand
the previous question and put them on
their passage. On that day some OF the
members said they hoped the resolutions
might first be printed SO as to afford a
chance for everybody to read and nnder-
stand them thoroughly. Mr.. King ac-
ceded to that proposition with the
understanding that he might call
them up at any time for final
action. Instead of calling them up,
as he should have done, in few days, he
waited and waited, until counter resolu-
tons have been introduced, and now the
temper Of the House has SO cooled that 1t
is thought they cannot pass, while it is
certain they might have been put through
If pushed at the proper timR Now Mr..
King wants the committee to meet and
rescind the order for demanding the pre-
yious question, SO that the resolutions
may come up for debate and relieve him
from impending defeat, but the members
of the committee are disgusted and de-
cline to respond to his call.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The hearing Of
distillers and rectifers before the Com.
mittee on Ways and Means concluded to-
day. Adslph woolner, a distiller Of
Peoria, spoke in opposition to ..carlisle's
bill, which he said ought to be entitled a
bill to disturb the internal revenue to give
distillers and curers OF fine whiskies q
bonus Of lsi per cent of the tax and ad-
ditional inducements to deiraud the gov
ernment Of another 1sl per cent Of the tax.
He argued that the Nations present
reynue from whisky was very closely con-
nected and trade was prosperous, and that
under the proposed bill distillers who had
three years in which to pay taxwould pay
tax Of 20 per cent less per gallon than
the man who paid tax Immediately, and
that this principle was contrary TO all the
rules OF trade. The result OF the bill
would be TO abandon the system OF cash
down az PAYERS. Great danger, however,
would be in temptation 10 fraud. The
trade needed no relief and the best thing
that can be done was TO let well enough
alone.
These views were REINFORCED by ". R.
Bush, Of Peoria. and I. G. McNamara, OF
Cincinnati.
The bill was advocated by Thomas, of
Louisville, and Henry s. Hennis, Of
Philadelphia. The latter said that he had
lost $500 ten years ago in consequence
of an unexpected change OF the law in
1869, forcing all goods out Of bond on q
given day. He had since organized the
present company with paid up cash Of
800, 900, and that was also gone.
arr MAKES HIM SICK"
Senator Voorhees, declines to 20 on
with the Exodus Investigation because
the negro witnesses that the Republicans
have brought to testify about Southern
outrages "haye such an offensive odor
about them that itmakes him sick" The
Senators have not noticedany
offensive odors, and think that it must be
their testimony that makes Voorhees, sick.
This sickness first appeared when co.
partner named Adams, from Louisiana be-
gan to testify. Adams recited the circum-
stances OF outrage alter outrage, OF which
he knew personally, in which colored peo-
pie had been murdered, wounded, whip
ped, hanged, some OF them including peo-
pie ofboth sexes, and even children. He
did no. testify from hearsay, but from
actual knowledge, and his testimony is such
an arraignment OF the white people OF
Louisiana as was never presented before.
His testimony covers period OF ten years
and makes $50 pages OF incidents that will
make the blood run cold. It was this eyi-
dence that made Voorhees, sick, and he
has lost all interestin the investigation.

Crop Reports-The outlook I'm Kansas
and Minnesota.


LKAyENwoRrn, Ks, April 1.-Spring
wheatin Kansas looks well, and promises to
yield more than an average crop. The area
sown to spring wheat last year was about
100000 acres, and the yield throughout
the State averaged fraction over seven
bushels to the acre. 1t is estimated that
there Is an increase in the acreage this
spring OF about 20 per cent, and that the
acreage now is about half million. The
prospect is now good for better yield
than last year; that is, the growing grain
looks much better than at this time last
year, and the land is also better.
Fall wheat is the standard crop OF this
State, and but small proportion OF the
acreage given 10 wheat is sown in the
spring. The increase OF acreage this year
Is mainly due to the fact that over con-
siderable portion OF the State, especially
the western counties, the winter was very
dry, and some considerable portion OF the
fall sown wheat was winter.killed. Such
fields were generally plowed up and sown
TO spring wheat, and this now looks well, !,
owing to the highly favorable weather OF
the past month. The fall wheat always
yields larger crop, but il the weather
continues as favorable as at present, the
spring wheat crop will be considerably
better than last year, and will probably
average ten bushels to the acre through
out the State.
ST. PAUL, MINI, April 1.-The recent
rains have probably taken the frost out of
the ground in the southern part of the
State, and with dry weather seeding of
spring wheat will commence next week,
and reports Indicate that there will be less
wheat sown In Minnesota than usual. The
failure Of last years crop Of spring wheat
has warned farmers 10 diversity crops, and
the warning will be generally taken in this
part OF the State.
