The Outlook Generally Favorable for a
Better Crop than Last Year.
CINCINNATI, March 16.-The Price Current
will publish tomorrow an extensive report on
the winter wheat crop, embracing reports from
nearly 400 points in the winter wheat belt.
The Price Current says taking all the evil
dence into consideration, with an indication of
some increase in the acreage, the
crop may now be considered gen.
orally promising, with a prospect
for a yield not much if any less than the pre-
ceding year. The returns indicate pretty
fair condition of the crop and a generally fa-
vorable outlook. More complaints in Indi-
ana and the outlook considerably impaired
and generally less favorable than year ago.
In Illinois favorable reports predominate, and
with an apparent increase in acreage
the prospect seems to favor an outcome equal
to last year. In Missouri and Kansas reports
are almost uniformly favorable, and increased
acreage. In Michigan and the winter wheat
sections of Wisconsin and Iowa, there
is much uncertainty yet, The prevail
ing condition seeming less favorable
than year ago, excepting perhaps in Iowa.
Kentucky is less favorable and Tennessee more
promising than year ago. Unfavorable
weather now and in the early future may con-
siderably impair the outlook, but on the other
hand favorable conditions of weather, which
now exist, if they continue few weeks, will

Death of Clement M. Green.

1t was announced in yesterdays issue

assistant United S tates district attorney,
was lying dangerously i'll at the residence
of his parents in Decorah, Iowa.
Yesterday telegram was received con-
veying the painful information of the
death of MIR. Green, which took place
early yesterday morning. Although not
altogether unexpected the news will be
received with painful and shocking effect
by his many friends in this city.
At the time of his death the deceased
was one of the brightest and most prom
ising members of the st. Paul bar. and
the life which has been cut off in the
flower of manhood had before it a brilliant
future. The deceased was about % or %
years of age. He first came to st. Paul
from Iowa about ten years ago; orig
inally telegraph operator he was en-
ployed in the Office of the Northern Pacific
railroad company, and bore the reputa-
tion of being one of the most skillful
operators in the United States. He read
law at the State university Of Iowa and
was admitted to the bar Afterwards he
returned to this city, several years ago,
and entered the law Office of w. w. Billson.
He subsequently was associated with the
district attorney, which position he held
at the time of his death. His disease was
consumption, and although victim to
the dread malady for two or three years,
the efforts of the destroyer were not
marked until few months ago, when he
commenced to rapidly fail
He has brother in this city, Mr. Oscar
G. Greene, superintendent of the tele-
graph lines of the Northern Pacific Rail

Resolutions Condemning the Assassination
of the Gar.
A largely attended meeting of the Michael
Davitt branch of the st. Paul Land league was
held in the basement of the cathedral last
evening. Mr.. C. D. O'Brien presided and
Judge O'Gorman officiated as scribe. The
meeting opened with brilliant and logical
address by Mr.. j. D. O'Brien, who eloquently
portrayed the wrongs and sufferings of Ire
land. The speech elected admiration and ap-
plause. Following this, brief and effective ad-
dresses were delivered by Messrs. M. P. Prem
dergast and Capt. M. ]. O'Connor, both of
whom made very eloquent addresses in be-
half of their stricken country.
The proceedings were pleasantly varied with
song, rendered in a spirited manner by Mr..
Thomas Breen, Mr. Dickinson and others.
Mr.. c. D. O'Brien then presented series of
resolutions which he promised with an elo
quent speech. The resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted, were as follows:
WHEREAS, The recent murder of the emperor
of Russia is claimed by his assassins to have
been committed in the interest of free gov
ernment, and certain evil disposed persons
have sought to justify Or excuse the crime on
the ground of political necessity; and
WHEREAS, We, the members of the Michael
Davltt land league, are engaged in assisting
our people in Ireland in their resistance to the
cruel tyrannies of the English government,
and are prepared, if need be, to make that
resistanc. an armed one; and
WHEREAS, We earnestly hold, and now re-
assert the right of all people to resist political
oppression by revolution and honorable war
fare failing in any peaceable redress), but by
no other means; therefore,
Resolved, That any cause, association or
belief that teaches, justiies, tolerates or per-
mits such acts of assassination, is odious to
all honest men, and condemnatory of the
cause they represent.
RESOLVED, That we look anxiously forward
to the inficting of speedy and severe punish
ment upon all perpetrators of such acts, and
their abettors and sympathizers.

KEENE'S BERTUCCIO.
The Close of the Season-Hamlet at the
Matinee and The FOOLS Revenge in the
Evening.

The Close of the Season-Hamlet at the
Matinee and The FOOLS Revenge in the
Evening.
The engagement of Thomas w. Keene
closed yesterday with the performance of
"Hamlet" in the afternoon and ''The FOOLS
Revenge" in the evening. The audiences, owing
to the inclemency of the weather, were not
large, though respectable in point of numbers.
In Hamlet there was much to admire and
somewhat to criticise, but as the GLOBE has
already spoken of the personatiOn it will not
indulge in the vice..of repetition. Suffice it to
say that the artist was heartily applauded, and
the audience highly pleased.
AS Bertuccio, in "The FOOLS Revenge" Mr..
Keene has role in which some of his best
qualities as an actor find expression. The
play itself is illustrative of some of the worst
phases of a profigate age in profigate coun-
try that, though perhaps true to. life, are not
proper subjects for home discussion
or public representation. Aside from this,
however, it is strong in many of its dramatic
features, and affords q tragedian fine scope
for effective work. Mr.. Keene was equal to
every requirement. The purpose of Bertuccio
to be avenged upon the destroyer of his hap
piness was plainly revealed beneath his mask
as the court jester, and the diabolical glee
with which he contemplates the supposed con-
summation of his life's aim was well assumed
His agony when he finds that his own daugh-
ter has fallen into the snare he has helped to
lay was depicted with terrible vividness. From
first to last the portrayal was masterpiece of
high dramatic art, and stamps Mr.. Keene as q
tragedian of rare power and genius. This can
be honestly said, yet with regret that 80
base material should be chosen to set off a
jewel of such strange brilliancy.
The support was much better than it has
been in everything Mr. Keene has yet attempt
ed here. Miss Vaders. and Mrs. Allen were
exceptionally good, and Mr.. Roche and Mr..
Coulter were also well up in their roles

THE GREAT LAND SWINDLE.

Further Arrests In st. Louis-Lindsay, I'm

Charges His Arrest to Political Persecu-
tiOn Instituted by Carl Schurz.
ST. LOUIS, March 16.-Herman E. Schuster,
notary, Chas. Vasel and Chas. Newman were
arrested to-day by government officers on gen
eral charges of perjury, but the two former
are believed to be in some way connected with
the land frauds brought to light yesterday and
will be held as witnesses.
Robt. L. Lindsay failed to furnish bond
of $4,000 this morning and was lodged
In Jail. He claims his arrest
is a political persecution, brought about by
eX-secretary of the interior Carl Schurz who,
he says, removed his father, James Lindsay,
from the position of register of lands at Iron
ton without cause. He also denies being con-
nected with or know anything about land
swindle. He has examined q great many land
titles, that being His business, but he had no
On the other hand, Detective Tyrrell says
Lindsay's statement about political persecu-
tion is all bosh. Carl Schurz had nothing to
do with the arrest, but that he, Tyrrell, first
discovered the fraud and has been working ii
up for year, and there is a regular ring. He
says Lindsay is the head of it as will be abund-
antly proved at the trial
Thomas B. English and Charles A. Davis
were registers of land at the jackson (Mo.)
land office from 1856 to 1860, but there seems
to be no evidence that they were connected
with the frauds. Jas. Lindsay, father of Robt.
Lindsay, was register from 1861 to 1866, and
again from 1877 to 1879. During this time it
is said large number of patents for land dis
appeared from the Office, but it is not known
that Jas. Lindsay is in any way responsible
for the disappearance. Government officials
here will not give out the evidence on which
these arrests have been made but they claim
to have very strong cause against Lindsay
and his confederates.

THE LATE GEN. UPTON.

Was His Death one of Suicide or Assassina-
nation p Gen. Hancock Hints the Latter,
and that Belief Said to be Enjoyed by
Other Army Officers.
NEW YORK, March 16.---The Times says
many army officers here are of the opinion
Gen. Upton has been the victim of a cowardly
assassination. Gen. Hancock said to the
Times reporter that he had been greatly
startled by the news. The suicide of no officer
in the service could amaze him more.
He and Gen. Upton were close friends.
He came out of the rebellion with
most enviable record, and at the time of his
death having lineal rank as full colonel of
artillery. He was the youngest officer in age
as well as term of service in the United States
army holding that rank; and, said Gen. Han
cock: Judging from his acknowledged abili-
ties, his energy and worthy ambition, and the
known good will and appreciation of his su-
perior officers, great honors for his future
were certain.
The suggestionithat Gen. Upton may have
been prompted to suicide by anticipations of
failing in the recently authorized version of
his tactics, Gen. Hancock declared unreason-
able. Fear of failure was not one of the char
acteristics of Gen. Upton in any regard, much
less should 1t be in revision of his tactics. To
those tactics Gen. Upton had given many
years close study. He was thoroughly their
master and he had reduced their elements
to such simplicity that the matter of failure in
presentation was absurd. The tactics had
been endorsed by the war department, and by
the same authority had been promulgated for
use in the United States army. There was no
opposition to the tactics in any quarter, an d
the theory of depression of spirits in such
connection was not to be credited.
DR.. Hanford, of Brooklyn, whose wife is
Gen. Upton's sister, said to Sun reporter:
sThe generals suicide could be traced to his
sufferings from malignant and incurable
catarrh."
IT WAS SUICIDE.
SAN Francisco, March 16.-An inquest
was held on the remains of Gen. Upton to-day.
The testimony of Capt Hasbrook, Fourth ar
tillery, and letters written by deceased to his
sister and to the adjutant general of the
United States army, confirm the previous i'm
preston that the suicide was due to depres-
sion of mind consequent upon inability to
adopt his system of tactics to the movement
of companies of 200 or more men.
