BULKY RECORD.
Record OF the Last Sts.
sion, Largest Yet Published.

WASHINGTON, p. O. April S.-The Con.
gressional Record Of the last session OF the
Forty.seventh Congress will contain S,777
pages, with an appendix which consists
entirely Of speeches which we're not deliv-
cred, but printed on leave, consisting OF
$50 pages more. 1t will be the largest
Recofd ever published at the last session Of
d Congress.u The, index, which will be
q volume OF about one hundred and
fifty pages, is prepared on the same plan as
the very excellent index Of the first session
of the Forty.seventh Congress, made under
the direction Of Colonel Albert 0rdway.
In addition to the valuable features OF the
former index, the index to these new vol.
umes will contain careful analysis OF the
entire tariff debate, so that twill be pos.
sibleat a glance to find every argument
that was made with regard to each specific
article in the tariff list. Il will require five
volumes and the appendix to contain the
proceedings. 2 lHaa 300 Gft
The appendix will be devoted to many
speeches, printed under general permis'
sion to print on leave, which have not ap-
peared in the belated numbers Of the
Record. The criticism upon the number
requied to print the speeches Of General
Wheeler, Of Georgia, which, with the
maps, cost about fifteen hundred dollars,
seems 10 have discouraged the Government
Printing Office from continuing the publi-
cation OF the Record after that date; but
the appendix, with its four hundred pagesy
will doubtless contain some undelivered
speeches quite as interesting, II not as
costly, as that Of General Wheeler.

New YoRK, April 3.-The failure OF the
banking house Of @. H. Coy & Co., Of
Toledo, Ohio, caused a great amount Of ex.
citement in banking circles here, especially
when the failure was ascribed to the decli.
nation Of a New Yoak bank to honor their
drafts as sgreed. Mr.. Thompson, Presi.
dent oil the Chase National bank, which
was the New York correspondent Of Coy
4 Co., said this morning that he did not
think It judicious fora banking house TO
have railroad telescoped with it,and there.
fore gave orders for tho accounts Of Coy &
Co., TO be kept within proper banking
bounds, consequently the balance on the
books Of the Chase National bank are on
the right side. 4
This bank would have nothing to do with
the Toledo 4 indianapolis Co.'s Railroad
bonds. AT the Park bank the reporter was
informed that Co 4 Co., endeavored to
draw more than was considered judicious,
and the, bank informed them this could
notbe done, and the drafts were not hon.
ored. How far this has led to the failure
the officials declined to say. or what
amount OF the bonds were held by them,
but 1t Is believed the Park bank did not
hold all the bonds OF the railroad.

BERLIN, April S.-Although Prussia, in
an answer to Cardinal Jacobini, the Papal
Secretary Of State, refused to concede to
the demands OF the Cardinal relative to
education and the appointment Of priests,
there are still hopes Of a compromise. The

day, will go far towards deciding whether

THE ConNrnY,s CRops.
Unfavornbie Reports from all sections
but California.

h but California.
\ MILWAUKEE, April S.-Although light
rains have fallen in several localities dur.
ing the past week there has not been
enough to be Of any material benefit to the
growing Winter wheat, and the reports from
all places, except California, continue un.
favorable. The receipts Of wheat both
here and in Chicago, though small, have
yet been sufficient to meet the light
local demand and leave a slight increase
for the stock on hand. The latest re-
ports show that the quantity Of wheat
in passage to y Europe has. in.
creased 100000 bushels, while the visible
supply at home has decreased l 100000.
In Southern Dakota and Nebraska some
seeding OF spring wheat is reported; but
the season has been too cole, and backward
to admit Of much spring work in other
parts OF the Northwest. II Is not believed
that the stocks OF wheat in store in the
Northwest are likely to increase much dur.
ing the next four weeks, as the country de-
liveries-not only OF wheat, but OF other
grain-are likely to be small during that
time.
All trading points report that the week
opened with a continued, steady and firm
market for wheat, but when adyices were
received Of abundant rain in California the
markets broke somewhat and appeared
weak for little time. The decline was soon
checked, however, and prices steadied
again under the influences ol the uncertain
outlook resulting from the reports OF the
condition of the growing wheat in the Mid.
die States, and an active export demand
at the acknowledgements thence be-
ing larger during the week than for some
time past. During the last few days
the tone has been irregular, with frequent
slight fluctuations, and with no decided
features in the trade. Fuller and more
complete developments Of crop prospects
will be the deciding influence in the mar.
ket, for the next few weeks visible supplies
and reserves on hand being sufficient to
check any material advance, unless the
outlook for the growing wheat becomes 30
discouraging as to stop q thoroughly spec
ulative movement. 1s,g. .s

WASHINGTON, D. c., April S.-The total

embraced in the l2Oth call is s2,9OO,20O.
The circular gave notice that FIVE million OF
these bonds would be redeemed on the

are those held by the State OF New York,
amounting TO S2,265 900, which were sur
rendered for redemption with interest to

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE
OF u Bloody Tragedy-Aj Young Dry
Goods Clerk the Victim.

Goods Clerk the Victim.
ST. LOUIS, April S.-Jnst before o'clock
this morning bloody tragedy was enacted
in the house Of Mrs. Theresa Prettyman,
No. ll25 Pine street. Albert, or Bert Wing,
shot and killed Joe Glenn, clerk in dry
goods store, in the presence Of Mrs. Davis,
ayoman ofthe town. Wingand the woman
came here short time ago from Green
willie, KY, and Mrs. Davis became an in
mate OF the house Of Matte Roberts. Here
she made the acquaintance Of Glenn. The
latter yesterday engaged room at Pretty
mans, and late in the evening Glenn and
Mrs. Davis went there. Wing had become
jealous OF Glenn,and went 10 the house and
iound them together. Heupbraided Glenn
for his treachery, and suddenly pulled q
revolver and shot him twice in the head,
killing him almost instantly. Wing then
rushed from the house, but was soon ar
rested, and the Davis woman was also
lodged in the calaboose. Wing claims that
the shooting was in self.deiense; that Glenn
drew revolver that q struggle for It's pos.
session ensued; that he secured 1t and fired
1t. But the woman says Wing shot Glenn
deliberately. The whole party lived at
0wensboro, Ky. The real name OF the
woman is said to be Mary Evas.
ALBERT Wing is the younger brother oi
hon. E. Ramsey Wing, who was United
States Minister to Ecuador under Grants
administration. Joe Glenn was the son oil
a. .tobacconist OF Carrolton, KY, and Mary
Evas, alias Davis,pis the daughter Of Judge
Evas oithat place. She is Mrs. Ring
but has left her husband and two children.
She now confirms the story of the killing
as told by Wing.
