THE April CROP REPoRT. Returns of
April l to the department of agriculture show
that 10 per cent more land was sown with
wheat last fall than the previous fall and 6
per cent less with rye, The condition is rs
the same as last April. States that have hith-
erto sown spring wheat, tried fall sowing and
with disastrous results from the winter, Iowa
and Nebraska especially suffering. On the
whole the wheat crop looks as favorable as
last spring The condition of live stock is
favorable-better than for several years. No
disease but hog cholera is reported, and that
is no worse if as bad as last year,

Congress gets on with the business of the
session but slowly All the important appro-

tains So bills, all of public character, while
the private calendar has over 500 bills, and
there are $50 or more matters on the public

The two wings of the democratic party of
New York State-the supporters of Tilden and
the Tammany hail organization led by John
Kelly-held separate conventions at Syracuse
on Tuesday, and each chose delegates to the

reconciliation were made by the Tammany
crowd, and were met by statement that the

such nominations as would unite the discord-

In the House.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Mr. Manning offered,
under instructions from the committee on
elections, a resolution for an Investigation into
the facts relative to the reception by Mr..
Springer of an anonymous letter relating to
the case of DOnnelly VS.. Washburn.
Mr.. Brown inquired if it was intended to in
vestigate the conduct of somebody who was not
a member of the House, by committee of the
House and at the expense of the people.
MIR. Manning replied that the resolution was
quite clear. 1t did propose to investigate the
authorship of an anonymous letter which on
its face purported to have been written in the
interest of a member of the House-whether
written by the contestant on contestee was a
matter which the House ought. of course, to
determine. If written by the man who asked
the seat he is an unworthy man, and no mem
Der would vote for his admission. The reso-
luton was broad. 1t was intended to be So.
1t was as broad az the merits in the case requir-
ed. He hoped there would be no objection to
the resolution.
Mr.. McLane moved to lay the resolution on
on the table. He did not think it presented a
question of privilege. Rejected, A to SO.
The resolution was then adopted, log to 55.

GIANT POWDER EXPLOSION.
TWENTY TO THIRTY PERSONS KILLED.

San FRANCISCO. April 1.-THE giant powder
works. district of Berkeley, across the bay, ex-
ploded this afternoon, killing twelve whites and
twelve or fifteen Cinnamon. This is the third
explosion the company has sustained attended
with loss of life. The explosion occurred in
the picking room, aud all at work there were
killed. About 5000 pounds were in the room.
All the victims were blown to atoms There
were six houses inside the works, all blown to
slIvers, but the workmen in them escaped with
the exception of one man in the magazine, no
trace of whom has been found. Outside of
the works are six houses, including the board
ing house of the hands, all more or less dam
aged. The cause of the explosion is supposed
to be carelessness. Workmen are hired by the
piece, and directed to use wooden mallets in
picking cartridges, but found they could work
faster and make more money by the use of an
iron hammer, risky business around giant
powder. 1t is supposed some one hit once too
many and his cartridge went off, igniting the
powder before him, which communicated with
the adjacent packages, with the terrible result
noted. The names of the white men killed, as
far as ascertained, are: Jacob Vandolen, Au-
gustine Fisher, Peter Shaugnessy, Joseph Rea-
man, Philip Lambert. Alex. Spooner and Lin

FORTY-SlXTH CONGRESS.
The HO1LSe.

WASHINGTON, April IA bill passed pro-
viding for the transportation of members
of the legislatures of Territories of Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming.
A Joint resolution passed authorizing the
secretary of war to furnish artillery to the
soldiers and sailors reunion in Columbus,
Ohio, August next.
Mr.. Calkins introduced bill amending the
laws relative to internal revenue. Referred.
Mr.. ONeill suggested it would facilitate the
business of the House very much if speakers
were allowed to recognize individual members,
to ask unanimous consent to pass private
bills. There were o number of merltorlous
bills on the private calendar which would more
easily be disposed of by holding night sessions
for their consideration.
The morning hour was dispensed with, and
the House went into committee of the whole,
Mr. Whitthorne in the chair, on the Indian ap
preparation bill, the pending question being
the point of order raised by Mr.. Haskell against
the amendment offered by Mr.. Hooker for the
transfer of the Indian bureau from the interior
TO the war department. After a short argu-
ment by Mr.. Hooker in opposition to the point
of order, the chair delivered his decision that
the point of order was well taken, and the
amendment was therefore not received. The
committee then rose and reported the bill to
the House.
The House rejected the amendment to in
crease the appropriation for the Sioux from
$3.50, 900 to $3.50, 900, by vote of yeas a. nays
104. The amendment abolishing the Indian
commissioner was agreed to, yeas lib, nays Gu.
The other amendments were agreed to without
division, and the bill as amended passed.
Mr.. Mcmahon, for the committee on appro-
priations, reported back the special deficiency
bill with the Senate amendments.
Mr.. Conger raised point of order, that the
bill must be considered in committee of the
whole, and it was thus referred.
The House then went into committee of the
whole, Mr.. Whitthorne in the chair, on the
special deficiency bill, and Mr.. Mcmahon made
a short explanation of the report of the COM
mittee on appropriations on that bill, during
which some passages of words took place be-
tween him and Mr.. Corger. The committee
then rose and the House adjourned.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE foreign market
to-day, ives much depressed both on spot and
cargoes. Our market opened three-quarters of
a cent lower than the closing of yesterday at
Sill for May. There were liberal buying
orders, however, and prices advanced, but the
reported failure of a New York exporting
house of very prominent character, that were
supposed to be largely long here and there, had
a very demoraliziug effect on the trade, where,
few moments before. indication pointed for
a gamey day on the bnll sides. The thing
slumped off, closing at 81. IL for May after
selling at $l.10% and $1.0736 for June; 81. 0313
sellers July. The syndicate were free buy
ers again to-day at about 81. IL for May. This,
with the cash wheat of No. 2 grade all in their
hands, the thing looks little ominous, and the
traders sre showing considerable caution about
charging their short lines for the present,
beautiful and promising weather and heavy
markets elsewhere to the contrary, notwith-
standing.
Corn dull and entirely void of interest. Even
q further decline in lake freights did not seem
to stimulate prices. May $500; June $3.50;
July 1880.
Provisions dead again to-day. Nothing but
the orders from the gentle granger will inject
life into this product again. No trade in pork
or lard this afternoon. It's hard when you have
