DETROIT, April 13.-For April the secre-
tary Of state has received official returns
from 668 townships in the southern four
tiers of counties where IS per cent. of the
wheat crop is grown. Fifteen per cent. of
the acreage is reported killed; of the re-
mainder II per cent. is below the condi-
ton one year ago, when wheat was in fine
condition, having been injured little dur
ing the preceding winter. The ice which
so generally covered the fields in the south
ern portion of the state March 1st, melted

good weather was followed on the 9th by
snow melting. The wheat fields are
slightly green, which shows the roots are
alive. The figures above given are un-
questionably the correspondents best
judgment as to the present condition of
wheat, but it is obvious no very satisfacto-
ry estimate can be made until the plant
commences to grow. The total number
of bushels of wheat reported marketed in
eight months, August to March, was TO-
741,000. 1t is estimated the amount held
for market by farmers is 100000 bushels.
The condition of clover is SO per cent, the
same as one year ago. Horses, cattle,
swine and sheep are in a thrifty condition.
Apples promise SO per cent, peaches 67 of

The First of the Season.

The first real spring storm of the season
visited st. Paul last night. 1t proved a
slayer too. About 8 o'clock the clouds
which had been skipping backward and
forward across the armament like tickle
minded female, punched" and poured
forth their torrents of rain upon the earth
beneath. With the rain came the wind.
coquetting down the streets, swinging
round the corners, racing and chasing
through the highways and along the by
ways in manner that was prolific of vexa-
ton among those who had tarried too long
from shelter. The streets, curb full of the
most tenaciously vexatious mire, ran
with rivers of the gluttinous mat
ter, which impeded the sewer
escapes and indicated the danger
of floods. The lightning made eccentric
curves and was distributed promiscuously
to and from all points of the compass,
preventing tbs telegraph or telephone
wires from working satisfactorily, and
striking terror into the hearts of timid
women and little children. During the
early progress of the storm, the rain drops
were changed to hail, which beat upon un-
protected pedestrians in a way they de-
spised, and made their presence felt ON
skylights and blindless windows. By 10
O'Clock the streets were nearly deserted,
the few who remained out being newspa-
per men and tipsy toilers at the resorts of
Bacchus and Gambrinus. When the sa-
looms closed these latter hugged the
shadows and protecting walls of
buildings, blissful in the possession of
that which rendered them unmindfu
of the elements. The hotels bore the ap-
pearance of banquet halls deserted, and
the places where men most do congregate
on summers eve. possessed a plentiful
lack of interest. At 1 o'clock, scarcely
any sound but the droppings of the rain
and the voices of hackmen wildly shouting
to detain their FESTIVE steeds could be
heard. 1t was viciously Indictment, with no
immediate promise for suspension of &C
tive operations. Old Equinoctial had
come late, but having once joined issue
with comfort and convenience, seemed de-
tsrmined to make up for its delay. That
this was accomplished, no one who wendell
his way through the unlighted streets of
the city to his home last night will have
the assurance to deny.

IT seems that the British government is
not yet satisfied with the extent of its pos
sessions, nor yet with the amount of trouble
it has on its hands. A dispatch informs
US this morning that commissioner has
just left Queensland for the purpose of
taking possession of the island of New
Guinea on behalf of that part of the Brit
ish dominions. New Guinea, or Papua, as
it is more commonly called, is one of the
largest of the South Pacific islands, com.
prising an area of from 100000 to 275,OOO
square miles, rich in natural resources,
but inhabited by race of savages mostly
of Malay origin. Great Britain will have
big job to reduce these savages to a state
of civilization and sub lection.

GOVERNOR HUBBARD has not yet made an
appointment to fill the vacancy in the Sew
enth judicial District occasioned by the
resignation of Judge McKelvy. The de-
cision has been postponed until next
week, when the applicants will be relieved
from their position on the anxious
seat. There would evidently have
been but little complication
IN the matter if q. S. Dis
trict Attorney Searles, of st. Cloud, had'not
put IN his oar. 1t has been an open secret
for some time that vacancy would occur
and Capt. L. W. Collins was in training to
fill it, with fair prospect of success.
Capt. Collins, Mr.. Searles and the retiring
judge ali reside at st. Cloud, hence honors
are easy, geographically speaking. Mr..
Searles has been standing, hat in hand,
waiting for something to drop into it for
years, and he finally added the United
States district attorneyship to that of city
and county attorney, which he already held.
He has worked his prize for all it is worth
by holding examinations all over the state,
In order to secure mileage, and now that the
Democrats are soon to come into
power in the national government, he
sees the end of that job. Under such
circumstances he rushes in for the vacant
judgeship. There is no danger of Searles
being appointed but il is possible that his
candidacy may defeat Collins. In that
case John w. Mason, of Fergus Falls, is
likely to walk away with the iudgeship
Mason's hope rests on Searle's hoggish-
ness, and it must be conceded that he is
sure of the porcine display being continued
until the end.

EX-SENATOR CoNKLING is represented by
a Washington correspondent of a Boston
paper as saying that the prosecution of
Brady and Dorsey at the expense of the
Republicans, by Democrats like Merrick
and Ker, is like burning your house down
to boil an egg, or pulling down a mag
nificsnt grapevine because it held one de-
cayed cluster. The same correspondent
adds:
George Bliss is the only stalwart of any prom
lnence who believes in prosecuting the thieves
regardless of consequences. 1t is said that
there will be row in the Republican camp after
this trial that will prevent further prosecutions
This is said to be why Merrick wants to drop out
as soon as the present trial is over. His osten
slole reason is that his hard work is aging him
rapidly, and that his private practice impera-
lively demands his attention. The prevailing
impression here is that none of the thieves will
be convicted. The end of the trial is set down
for some day in June.

THE WATERMELON CUT.

Manitoba Stockholders Get Bouncing
Bond Dividend of Forty-Five Per Cent.
insiders" in railroad circles haze been
aware for some time that there were i'm
pending good things for the holders of st.
Paul d Manitoba railroad stock. Just what
the "phat take" might be was not given
out beyond limited circle who adopted
NUNS the word" as their motto.
The directors of the road met in New
YORK yesterday and cut the long promised
watermelon. First there was the regular
quarterly dividend of two per cent. de-
clared and then a bond privilege was
added. Each holder of one hundred shares
OF Manitoba stock has the privilege Of
paying five hundred dollars and re-
celVlng therefor a bond of the road for
nVe thousand dollars This makes a net
bond dividend of 10 per cent, which, with
the per cent cash dividend, makes an ag-
gregate of AZ per cent. dividend. The
stock doomed up TO 1863 during the day.
but finally sold off and closed at 164%.
The books will close to-day and on Monday
the stock will sell ex-dividend and
ex-privilege. If the full amount of the
dividend is deducted the stock ought to
sell about rs on Monday.
This new deal adds ten millions to the
bonded Indebtedness of the road, making
the aggregate bonded debt $28,646,OOO.
10 this add twenty millions of stock, and
there is an aggregate of $48,646,OOO on
which interest and dividends are now to
be paid. The immense business
of the company renders it an easy
matter to care for the interest
and dividends. 1t will not be surprising
to see the stock selling in the thirties by
the first of May, even if it should stand at
l1S Monday. In fact it is hardly likely
to go below 125.
1t is understood that this deal adds be-
tween two and three millions to the wealth
of President Hill, whose prosperous career
has never met with back.

Smallpox at Rice Lake.


CAMERON, Wis.,, April 13.-Five cases of
smallpox were reported at Rice Lake, and
the greatest excitement prevails. Two of
the patients are daughters of Mr.. Burby,
proprietor of the Smith house. The other
three are G. T. Holtz, undertaken; Joe Po-
land, saloon keeper, and Hewitt, clerk in
Monheim's store. 1t seems that a few
weeks ago stranger named Harris came
from Shell Lake to Rice Lake, and stopped
at the Smith house, was taken sick there
and died about two weeks ago.
The exact disease was not known
at the time of his death, but inasmuch
as there was smallpox at Shell Lake at
the time he left, and ali those who are now
down with the disease watched with him
during his sickness, it is believed that the
disease was brought there by him. DR..
Galloway, Of Eau Clair, was summoned to
Rice Lake by telegraph last night and
announced the cases genuine smallpox.

BRADY CONYICTTn

Brady has been convicted and sentenced
to be hanged on the 18th of May. Not our
pet Brady, who has been on trial for con-
spiracy for more than year past. but the
Brady who has been on trial for four days
past at Dublin for the murder of Lord
Frederick Cavendish and Under Secretary
Burke. The trial was fastened to compile
ton; the evidence was not intermingled
with the wrangling of counsel; the ar
guments were brief; the judges charge di-
rect, and the jury, after forty minutes de-
liberation, returned verdict of guilty.
Some will think that unseemly haste was
manifested, and great many will be OK
ceedingly suspicious of the evidence of the
informers, upon which the conviction was
had. Such testimony at best is of doubt,
full credibility, yet in this instance it seems
to have been corroborated by the evidence
of others not as directly interested as
Carey.
If Brady is guilty, no one will bemoan
his fate, for the murderer of Lord Caven-
hish richly deserves hanging. But it is
feared that the public will never have con-
vincing proof that Brady was absolutely
guilty, and many, perhaps majority, will
regard him as scapegoat-a victim to
public clamor which demanded sacrifice
in eypiation of the foul murders in Phoe-
nix Park. One who Acknowledged his
completely was found so base as to betray
his confederates. It is not clear that he
did not extenuate circumstances in his
own defense or did not set down aught in
malice against those through whose suf-
fering he hoped to save his own neck from
the hangman's moose. No one but he and
those whose mouths he has effectuaIly
closed can tell. He would be superior to
the average run of informers, however, if
he did not make the circumstances appear
as favorable for himself as possible, and as
unfavorable for those with whom he was
associated.
The month that remains before the date
set for the execution may result in throw
i'll some additional light upon this dark
subject. The hope is faint, however, and
guilty or not guilty, Brady will have to suf-
der death.
