Congressman Bayne's Opinion.

PITTsBURG, May 23-COngressman Bayne, in
an interview on the labor situation, says the
reduction in wages proposed by the iron manu-
facturers is not warranted by the new tariff,
and that Fl. W. Oliver, jr, advised the members
to vote for compromise bill. Among the rea-
sons which he says were mentioned in account
ing for divers advice were that Oliver and the
stalwarts generally urged the passage of the bill
to defeat Blaine, who opposed 1t, and that a
Pittsburg iron firm, which used wire rods in
large quantities. would be greatly benefited by
the lower duty proposed by the new tariff
Colonel Bayne did not say the firm of oliver
Bros. referred to, but as that is the only firm
in the city using wire rods, there was no doubt
TO whom he referred. Mr.. Oliver refuses to an
swer Colonel Bayne's indirect charges. He says
he Is content to let the country judge or the part
he took in tariff matters by the results.

Encouraging Reports from the Grain Fields
of Minnesota and Dakota.

81. PAUL, May 23.-Advices from all parts Of
the State show the wheat in unusually fue con-
dltion, the late storms having done but little
damage to small grain, Corn is not
looking 30 well; only about half
the area is planted, and it is feared that most
of that has rotted, and will have TO be planted
again. This State shows a large increase in
wheat acreage. Advices from almost all parts
of Dakota show the wheat in fine condition;
seeding is almost all done, and small
grain is growing finely. The frequent rains,
although helping the small grain planted, have
stopped further seeding the ground is too
wet to plOw. Farmers are discouraged about
corn; but little is yet planted, and a weeks dry
weather will be required before any planting can
be done. Difficulty is being experienced with
the seed corn, as it does not spruut. seed is
worth $2.75 a bushel.

parties In the first statement 1t was reported
that only the two Laniers were killed, but the

that Morrison was wounded In the fight

died in the woods. This is family feud which

Burlington Hswksye.
The Bartholdi statue of liberty is about
ready, but the country to which 1t is pre-
sented hasn't any place to put it. If the
people of France had sent the United States
q draft for $500, 900 as present, would the
great republic be too mean to pay the ''cur-
rent rate OF exchange thereon2 1t looks
that way. 1t reminds one of
the old story of the farmer who came
into the store and traded an egg for
darning-needle. Now" said the thrifty
agricultutist you ought to treat me, when
l give you my custom" The storekeeper
couldn't see much profit in the leading
transaction, but said, "All right what will
you takeP' WALL" replied the honest
plough-boy gimme glass of wine with an

and anger than disgust fitted over the mer-
chants countenanee as he passed out the

had a double yeIk II goll" shouted the de.
lighted farmer. "That was a doube-yoke

The Striking Bricklayers of Chicago

The Striking Bricklayers of Chicago En-
gage in Small Riot.
CHICAGO, May 23.-An lncipent riot, growing
out of the strike of bricklayers, occurred on
Hubbard street, this city, yesterday afternoon,
which is cited as showing the desperation felt
by a certain class Of these workmen. About fifty
strikers collected about building in process OF
erection, and attempted to intimidate the men
at work. Bricks were freely used and five or
six revoler shots fired. 1t isl now eontended that
the man using the revolver was John Sullivan,
president of the BTicklayers' Union, who, ft Is
claimed, was under the influence of liquor. A
young man to whom Sullivan handed the weapon
after it had been discharged was arrested. The
facts were kept quiet for some reason until late
last night, as 1t is supposed to cause other ar
rests. No one was seriously injured.
