seventy-ive bushels to the acre. The
farmers through this country of corn cribs
have less dread of a drouth than of season

insured against by liberal tile draining.

MONETARY CONFERENCE.

PARIS, April 19.-The international none
tary conference was opened this afternoon by
Bartholemi St. Hillaire, minister of foreign af-
sairs, who welcomed. the foreign delegates,
and said if the conference did not ackieye i'm
mediate success, it would at least have raised
controversies which are Indispensable to the
discovery of truth and established principles
which will bear fruit in the future.
On motion of Mr.. Evarts, Delegate Magnin,
French minister of finsnces, was elected presi-
dent of the conference. Magnin, in his open
ing address, reviewed the different phases
showed in the conveniences which the system
established in 1867, of gold standard with
silver as a transitory companion, had brought
about in Germany. He dwelt on the recon-
mendation in favor of Limitation by the com.
mittee of the United States Congress in 1876.
He explained the non-success of the monetary
conference in 1878. AS regarded the
objects ofthe present conference it
was indispensable in order that silver
shall regain its former value it should agai n
be freely coined, side by side with gold. He
said he hoped that the deliberations would
show that International bi-metalism was the
only system restoring monetary regularity in
all parts of the world 1t was not question
of discussing treaty by which some would
gain and others lose. 1t was simply ques-
ton of forming in good faith and with

The Bin Black Boom.

Haverly's forty genuine colored minstrels
will make their advent to st. Paul this morn
ing, and in the evening will open at the Opera
house. The company is universally spoken
of in terms of commendation. The Baltimore
Herald says:
Only portion of the crowd that focked to
Ford's last night to see the 'genuine" African
minstrels could get into the house. The rest
were obliged to return home, simply because
it was impossible for them to find standing
room. The performance was fully up to the
expectation of the audience. The singing, dane
ing and character acting cannot be equaled by
the white artists who wear kinky wigs and
blacken their faces and hands. A scene between
two feathered roosters is indescribably funny,
and there is a lad whose limitations excel the
wonderful performances of the man described
by Mr.. Steele in the spectator. He seems to be
able to reproduce all the sounds that he hears,
from the playing of the bagpipe to the putting
of the locomotive. This boy is a whole
tshow" in himself.

was taken to the postofice and searched by
Capt. G. E. Henry and other postal authori-

edged to having rifed two register pouches,
one from Utica and the other from Rochester

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.
CHICAGO, April 19.-Several desperate char
acters awaiting trial for murder, burglary,
etc., in the county Jail made a desperate and
unsuccessful attempt to escape tonight.
Rodney Burne and Alex. Mickey were
ringleaders, and had planned to have all the
prisoners In the corridors Of the Jail on
one pretense or other, about supper time, and,
having procured revolvers from friends, sud
denly attacked the two turnkeys, threatening
to shoot them if they spoke word. Both
made outcry, however, and the keepers were
aroused, and filled the Jail with police. In the
~
attempt to blow down the wall with powder,
but succeeded only in making land explsion
and great dust. They had also felled san old
turnkey and kicked him severely, and Alex
Mckay concluded by shooting twice
colored prisoner named Daniel
Coleman, who was assisting the keepers.
Coleman received one shot just below the
heart and will die from the effects. The rioters
were quickly put down and ironed by the
police. They had large crowd of friends on
the outside, who had evidently been apprised Of
their intended escape and were ready to help
them.

Railroad Hen at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, April 1e.-The strike among
railroad platform laborers is on the increase,
and the day hands doing platform work for
the Ohio & Mississippi road have Joined in the
demands for increased wages. This was
brought about by other strikers, who, backed
by union, are determined to hold out for
their demand, and are working for general

Main street side, twenty in number, making
application for advanced wages. Mr.. Hubbell,
local freight agent of the road, told them to
continue work till noon, aud In the meantime
he would see what could be done for them;
this they agreed to do, and at noon they were
informed that the j., M. & 1.would pay as much
any of the other roads, and under that assur-

work will have little bearing on the issues be-

Louisville & Nashville road nearly all of the
old platform hands have quit work, but the
road has managed to find fair supply Of men
to do the work; being green, however, they
cannot work as fast nor do the work as well as
the old hands. The usual number of hands
employed about the platforms of the Louis

forces, is between Is and 100. There are at
