that in Missouri and Kansas the con-
dition is good, acreage fully equal to
last year, and damage, so FAR, no
greater thanis usually thecase this time
of year, Tennessee and Illinois give
fair reports, but Kentucky and Indiana,
especially the latter, show copsiders-
Bile damage. From Texas reports are
msagre but good as far az they 60 and
from other sources II is lesrned the
condition 10 generally good with fair
prospect for full crop. A dispatch
from Topeka. Kansas, where the Kan
Bss State Millers' association is In ses

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 49,
The Journal has received special re
ports from over 100 points In Indiana
and Illinois concerning the growing
wheat crop, the general tenor of which
is decidedly disoouraging. The uni.
versal opinion as expressed BY the
Journals correspondent 10 that the
crop han been very much damsged by
unfavorable winter season and that
the injury infioted by winterstorms
has been greatly aggravated BY the
freezes Of the past two weeks. An
average opinion II that the crop will
fall one.thlrd short of that of 1882.
OF the surplus of that crop ten to
twenty per cent yet remains In the
hands of the farmers.

A CORRER ON COAL.
Politicians Controlling the SHAFT at

Leavenworth, Kan, Dispatch to the GlobeDc.
mociat.
There has boen great breeze over
the action of the new board of peni-
tentiary commissioners In the making
of contract for the sale of all surplus
coal from the penitentiary shaft to Q.
j. Buckley, of this city, at 81 cents
per bushel That Ia q practical leas-
Ing of the shaft, ard at q ridlculously
low rate, thus creating monopoly and
depriving the state of the profits to be
made out of the coal business at the
penitentiary. The figures show that
In another year the working of
this coal shaft would make
the penitentlary self.supporting, but
by contracting all the surplus
coal, about 80, 600 bushels per month,
TO one party, at such low price, that
desirable result is made impossible,
and the money that should be made
for the benefit of the state and the
lowering of taxes goes into the pock-
cts Of private speoulators, who are at
the same time given power to control
the local coal market by combining
with the city shaft. Tho matter Is
causing more talk In Leavenworth
than anything that has happened
since the last election, and the charge
Is freely made that certain prominent
democratic politicians stand In with
the contractor. A special to the
Times from Topeka states that Gov
ernor Click, interviewed upon the
matter, stated that the board had full
power In the matter and were re.
sponsible to no one for what they had
done, and he knew nothing further
about the matter. The entire matter
seems to be brought to the door of
Adjutant General Moonlight, whose
great influence over Governor Click Is
generally recognized.

AN EQUITABLE DIVIDE.
The Interest Clerk Gets Away With
Most OF the Interest.
Special Dispatch 10 THE Brs.

Special Dispatch 10 THE Bss.
New YORK, March 90 Tho office
Of the Equitable trust company, No.
16 Exch ,nee Place, discovered that a
clerk named j. B Marstop, formerly
in their employ, was defaulter to the
extent OF about $50 600, taken during
the last four years. He resigned on
the Let of February, to take effect the
1st OF March, but left the c fiji SO sever
al weeks ago, and has not been ssen
thers since. The first intimstion re.
csived by the company that anything
was wrong was q note from Marston
confessing his guilt. The examination
of the books of the concern show the
extent and manner Of the frauds. Mars
ton was interest clerk, his duties being
to receive all interest from money
loaned by the company aud place 1t Ia
the bank. When interest drafts we're
received in the five, the proper re-
ceipts were mailed and the drafts
given to Msrston to put Ia the bank.
In case the drafts were upon private
bankers, it was Marston's custom to
get the money for them and pocket
it, taking on amount 10 proportion to
the days receipts Some times he took
as much as 81, 900 at time. He had
control Of the books containing the
lists of checks and drafts and manag.
cd to conceal his embszzlements, un.
til, finding discovery inevitable, ran
away. rhe company has submitted
the case to the district att orney aud 1t
is supposed Marston will be indicted
and arrested IL he can be caught.
Marston entered the Equitable Trust
compary's employ In 1873 when boy
of 10, rising step by step. he was
not known to live extravagantly, and
the fact that he kept several horses
and carriages at his place In Plainfeld,
N. j., was accounted for upon the
score of private means. The Ulcers
of the company are unable 80 far to
find out where the stolen money is or
went to. ,stitut'on of q email part
Of the money has been made, and
from the defaulter's property at
Plsinfield few thousands will be re-
aliz.d. The company does not know
where Marston Is at present. He Is a
married man with family. The
Equitable Trust company Is wealthy
corporation. having a capital of ST..
500, 900, al d loaning the money upon
mortgages chiefly In the west. The
lops will not affect the company's
standing in the least.

Special Disl atch to TnE BEK
WASHINGTON, March est Is re-
ported that Minister West has In
formed the state department that he is
instructed by Lord Granville to say
that the violent expressions which GER
tain professed American citizens have
given utterahce to since the dynamite
explosion in London may disturb the
otherwise amicable relations existing
between her majesty's government
and the United States. The corre-
spondent repeated this statement to
West, and asked II 1t was true. West
replied that he could say nothing In
his official capacity, and he would not
admit that this government had been
notified by any such instructions
to him. But he said that
her msjestys government could not
do less thau take some cognizance of
the sentiments given vent to by
O'Denovan Rossa and his associates
and others through their newspapers
and otherwise, and that he had ex-
pected Just some such instructions
from the Earl of Granville. 81 am
gratified," he added, "at the tone of
the majority of American newspapers
and l think none of the reputable
journals have exhibited any sympathy
with preachers Of anarchy, destruction
and assassination"
Frelinghuysen was asked II the state
ment was true. II have nothing to
say uron the subject" was his an
swer.
WASHINGTON, March 23 Minister
West was asked this afternoon If their
was any foundation for the statement
that the recent violent utterances of
professed American citizens concern
log the dynamite explosion In London
may disturb the amicable relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. He refused to talk officially,
but during the conversation said /,
"You can state that the relations be-
tween the two countries were never
more cordial, and q better under.
standing never existed. I do not see
the slightest reason TO apprehend that
their relations may be impaired.
Secretary Frelinghuysen would say
nothing whatever upon the subject
Assistant Secretary Davis said If there
had been any Communication 70
oeived from the British government
on the subject, 1t would not be proper
matter to discuss with the public. Il

English government and people to fee
that men are harbored in another
