London, Aug. 1S-James Card, an
eminent agricultural authority, writes as
follows: But for the late rains and
diminished temperature the harvest
would have proved equal to nearly an
average of the years preceding 1874; but
mildew has appeared and will affect the
quality of later crops. On two.thirds of
the wheat land an average crop will be
made up by the tineness of the quality.
In the remaining third, even with that

PENSION CLAIMS.

New Order Relating I" the Difficulty uf
Applicants.
Special to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Washington. Aug. l2.-The following
order was issued to-day by General
William w. Dudley, commissioner of
pensions:
Department of the Interior. Pension
Office. Washington, Aug. 10.-Ordeled:
That IN all pension claims wherein more
than one disability is alleged. the claim
ant shall be advised upon the compile
ton OF the proof of any one of the al
legged disabilities of the evidence still
necessary to TIE establishment OF the
others; and that the Office, on request
therefor. will issue certificate for the
disability thus established without pre-
1udice to any rights he may have on
proven.
w. w. DUDLEY, Commissioner.
In their declaration for pensions claim
ants very often allege two or more disa-
bllltles; IN some cases say, for example.
gunshot wound and chronic rheuma-
tlsm. The records of the war depart
ment may establish the fact as the gum
shot wound. and may be silent as to the
| .uouu".AsA. tue application may alleSe
hernia, heart disease and disease of the
lungs. The records and testimony fur
nished in the case may fully establish
hernia and heart disease, but the proof
may be lacking to establish disease of
the lungs.
The practice prevailing here
tofore has been that all
of the allegations must be
proved before pension will be allowed
for any, and under this ruling much
hardship has often been the result. In
many cases the evidence is very difficult
for the soldier to produce. and es-
pecially it is true in certain classes
OF diseases. The soldier knows Of his
disability, aud also can with certainty
allege just where ito isinatel, but when
he seeks for testimony to prove his case
he becomes aware of Ii" diilisnlty winch
he has to surmount. HIS witnesses nay
be hundreds of miles fron him. antl

their whereabouts, aud f,c the govern.

killed while lying down. Crane was a
fugitive from justice, and was an outlaw,
and the six bullets that struck him were
well directed. Long was man about
% years OF age. and had been III that Sec
tion of country with cattle about three
months. He came to Arizona from Kan
sas about five months ago. He and his
son are men of large capital and have
had an extended experience in the stock
business. The son was bringing in snme
cattle for the Tombstone market when
killed. The immediate cause of the kill
ing is as follows: A party of "rustlers, :"
as they are called, went into Mexico last
month and stole some cattle. They were
followed by Mexicans, who got so close
upon them that they were obliged to
abandon the stock. This was done in
the vicinity of the murder. The Mexi-
cans took their stock and started for
home at the time, picking up such cat
tie and horses as they CHANGED to meet.
The stock was missed and a party of six
teen Americans started in pursuit, over
took them, had fight with them, and
retook the stock. This occurred the lat.
ter part Of July. It is possible that the
recent raiders are some of the same de-
feated party last month. Great excite
ment prevails in Tombstone and vicinity
and large party has been raised to
avenge the murders. The Clinton boys,
whose father was murdered, also have
raised body of men, altogether num-
bering over 200, and as desperate gang
rs could be imagined. They will carry
the war into Mexico.
Great apprehension is felt for Ameri-
cans in Sonora, as it is more than likely
to be war OF retaliation. We are
hourly expecting collision. Mexican
troops are in force on the line and will
repel the invaders. Gov. Fremont being
absent there is no head to the American
forces, and lawlessness seems to be the
order of the day. Serious international
complications will arise unless steps arc
taken.

Too Many Hartnnanns.

that the Tribune had a column interview

New York dispatch says he appeared in

city this morning and renouncing his al
legiance to the emperor of Russia filed q
declaration of his intention of becoming

Wheeler was committed to Jail at Annapo-
lis and Bannon held in the sum of $4,000
bail. The chief witnesses before the cor
oner were two brothers named Goodwin
who swear that they were standing near
Maddux at the time and saw Wheeler who
was but short distance from him, take
deliberate aim and fire the fatal shot and
swere also that few minutes before the
shooting, they saw Bannon whisper to
Wheeler and then 60 behind the house,
near which the shooting took place, and
where the polls of that district were held.
The case was remanded to Justice CASA
way, Of Annapolis, for hearing en- Mon
day last, but in the absence of some of the
witnesses, the justice postponed the case
until yesterday. He committed Wheeler
again to Jail, and renewed the bail of Mr.
Bannon The testimony of Mr. Bannon
and that Of some of the witnesses against
him conflicts so materially that the case
promises to be an interesting one when it
comes to trial.

Guitea us Trial.

The trial of Guiteau for the murder Of
James A. Garfield began on Monday in the
Supreme Court of the District of Colum-
bia, before Judge Cox. A series of incl
dents chained the attention of the audi
tors from the start Mr. Robinson. who
was assigned by the Court as one of Gui-
teau's counsel, began by asking for anoth.
er postponement to enable the lawyers to
complete their preparations for the defense.
To the surprise of the listeners, Mr.. SEQ
vile, Gut eau's brother law. who is al
SO one Of his counsel, opposed the appli-
cation for postponement. Guiteau him
self made sensation by jumping to his
feet and declaring that he didn't want the
trial postponed, and announcing Mr.. Ro-
binson. 1t became apparent that the re-
lations between Mr. Robinson and Mr..
Scovillc were not cordial. and thay were
not pulling together in the conduct OF the
case at this stage. The Judge appeared
to be somewhat perplexed by the curious
situation. He finally decided that the
prisoners own wishes should prevail, and
ordered that the trial 60 on, Guiteau's
conduct was extraordinary. He insisted
on being heard, quarreled with the bail
ifs who attempted to restrain him, de-
clared that he didn't like Mr.. Robinson's
speech, that he was going to conduct the
case himself, and that he only wanted the
lawyers for technicalities. He pulled a
roll of manuscript from his pocket con-
tanning speech, but be was not allowed
to read it. In this speech Guiteau re-as-
ITS that the Lord inspired him to remove
the President tor the good Of the republic.
He declares that Gar fields death was
caused by the physicians. He touches
upon the subject of insanity in his family,
and asserts that the assassin was insane in
law, because the murder was Gods act
and not his. He reviews portion of his
life, talks ofhis book, and appeals to those
who he says were benefited by his act to
send him money for his defense.
The selection of jury was begun, and
five men proved acceptable, as they said
their minds were not 80 much biased that
they could not give verdict based upon
the evidence. On Tuesday the work Of
impanelling jury was quietly proceeded
with and four more jurors were sworn in.
On Wednesday the panel was completed,
and it is expected that the case will now
proceed without delay.
