JAY GOULD'S OPINIONS.
The Railroad Rate Trouble and Wheat
ExpOrts-COrn Our Staple Crop.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK, March 2S.-Mr. Jay Gould ex-
presses the opinion that the trunk line diff
ferences would not be of long duration.
Natural laws were gradually loosening wheat
at Chicago, so that there would
be a demand for it in the east
and abroad. thus giving the roads better
business. The course of the Pennsylvania
in the matter appeared to him straightfor-
ward and manly. Relative to the importance
attached to the present cessation of the for
eign demand for American wheat, Mr.. Gould
said: ''Itis, in my opinion, only question
of short time when we will have very
little wheat to export The wheat
growing area of the country is now pretty
nearly developed. The yield is large because
the soil is new, but in few years the same
soil will be less productive. Moreov er
with an increase of population from i'm
migration, and otherwise we will soon
consume all the wheat we can produce.
Corn, however, is our great staple. We have
practically q monopoly in it and it can be
utilized in more ways than one. What the
old world does not want in one shape we can
give them in the shape of pork and beef"

sNEw YORK, March 2S.-The stock market
failed to show any improvement to-day and
continues exceedingly dull. Northern Pacific
preferred managed to crawl up to 4S%. The
changes in the rest were trifing, Manhatten
Elevated gradually working back to first
principles and the purchasers of it a week
ago found themselves badly left. The re-
ports from the corn roads are any
thing but encouraging. Receipts
are falling off amazingly and will
continue to do so until another crop
is ready to be moved. The grangers were
exceedingly dull and Mr.. Gould's return has
not caused any improvement in his proper
ties as yet The Western Union was heavy
all day and Missouri Pacific also. Erie raj
lied a little, but the preferred was down and
acts very much as though no more dividends
were expected on it. The coal stocks were
fairly active but made no gain for the day.
Northern Pacific and Erie seconds continue
scarce. 1t is expected that two mil
lions in gold will be ship
ped tomorrow. Lake Shore has de-
clared the usual quarterly two per cent div
idend, Illinois Central earnings for the
third week in March show decrease of ST.

Returns of stocks of provisions on hand
on March 1, have been obtained from inte-
rior points representing so per cent. of such
winter packing so that the estimating has
been limited to small extent. Adding the re-
ported stocks at the seven large cities the re-
turns cover 81. so per cent of the seasons op-
erations-which is very nearly a complete
exhibit. This feature of our work, inaugu-
rated some years ago, has proved an inter
esting and valuable one, and the uniformity
with which packers make returns on this
point with other details is gratifying On

Bes.nercs Crime.

Late in the afternoon of Dec. 81, 1888,
Palmer, negro, murdered VIM. H. Kirk,
killing him with clubs, in his own stable
right in the heart of the city. When night
came on they put the body into wagon
and carried it out of the city and threw it
into Mill creek. They killed Kirk for money
and got about s100. After returning from
the drive they went to saloon and divided
the money. The same evening Berner took
his girl down town, bought her SIS worth Of
jewelry and went around with her until quite
late. A day or two after the murder Berner
was arrested, and ther confessed the crime
Afterward he recanted his confession.
When the case came on for trial
two weeks ago, he offered to
plead guilty to murder in the second degree,
but the state refused the plea. The jury
found him guilty of manslaughter only. The
verdict produced surprise, rage and indigna-
ton, even the judge pronouncing it an out
rage. The excitement against the jury was
so great that two or three were obliged to
leave the court house by the tunnel way to
the Jail to escape violence.

PLACERvILLE, Cal, March 2S.-Francisco
Peres was hanged to-day for the murder of
William and Jacob Winges. The crime was
the result of dispute as to whether Peres or
William Winges spoke the purest Castilian.
Both the men were intoxicated. Peres seized
and iron boot jack and knocked William in
sensible, Jack rushed in, Peres drew a
knife, struck him in the neck and killed him
instantly. William revived, when Peres
finished him with knife. On the scaffold
he said: Gentlemen, 1 don't speak good
English Before / killed those men to pre-
serve my own life." The trap was sprung
and death was instantaneous.

II Mr.. BLAixS was In earnest In making

yesterday, and recollect that they were

Representatives. What should poor man

IL The implication, but bow' Not one dol

How, then. Let him explain how. We
think that the following from FISHERS let

the mere difficulty Of paying an honest

could not bear the light OF day. These
transactions are darkly limited at in the fol-
lowing extract from one OF FISHERS let
tiers 10 BLAINE

raising the implication that BLAINE had

II was Timothy Thady Mulligan."
Mr.. BLAINE has opened his mouth on
this subject. We do not understand how
he can refuse to try to explain away this
damaging correspondence. What with the
Prohibiiionists, and the MULLIGAS letters,
aud the Germans, and the SCOTT law, and
the POND law, he will find his soiourn in

Vindication With a Vengeance.

The elder DIsRAELI died too soon. He
should have lived to enbalm the comments
OF the Radical organs on the missing MUL-
IIGAN letters in his "Curiosities OF Litera-
ture." His soul would have revelcd in
some Of these illusions, and he would have
been able to make his remarkable book
much more complete. We present specl-
men CT the curious and puzzling literature
evoked by The new letters. Tue Washing
ton Republican, the grand central organ oil
the Republican party, does not publish the
letters, but has this to say:
"The letters are published with mali
cious intent, but instead OF doing Mr..
Blaine sn injury they will go far toward
proving him innocent OF the charge oil bar
tering his official honor for dishonest gain.
a thousand changes have been rung
on the charge that he corruptly used his
position as representative in Congress
and as Speaker OF the House for the adj
vancement OF his personal fortune, thereby
proving false to the high trust reposed in
him by the people.
1.-THE last letters carry on their face the
writer's vindioation. They are right in the
line Of MIR. Blaine's defence. There Is not
q sentence In them shat Dir. Blaine could
object to having published to the whole
world"
ain the bright light thrown upon this
whole business by the letters last published
the nfamy Of Mr.. Blaine's enemies stands
out clearly in its hideous malignity."
"The shafts OF malice fall far short OF the
mark. Right heartily may MIR. Blaine
thank his lucky stars that his enemies have
come TO bis vindicatioB. The adders in
striking at their foe have stung Themselves
TO DEATH"
II this does not deserve to be classcd
among the curiosities OF literature, We do
not know where it should be, placed. 1t
leaves us in a dilemma. We don't know
whether 10 regard 1t rs an exhibition OF
monumental cheek or An example Of merci-
less satire. Considering that the Reps1bh-
can has always been the Administration
organ, and that the Administration has, as
q whole, never warmed to Mr.. BLAISE's
cause, it may be the latter. On the other
hand, II, as reported, billy CHAND-
LER dictates the policy OF the pa
per, it Is reasonable to look upon
it as the former. However, take which
horn OF the dilemma We may, the produc-
ton 10 calculated to do good. II it is
satire intended to show the animus OF the
Administration, 1t should crush Mr..
BLAINE. II 1t is cheek and is intended TO
brass out the situation, 1t should crush
the Republican party. Any party which
through its organs declares seriously that
such an exposition as 10 made by FISHBR
and HULII0AS is "vindicstion 10
past regeneration-is beyond the reach
OF any influence for good. and de-
serves reprobation at the hands OF all
honest men. II Dir. BLAINE thinks "there
10 not a sentence in the letters" that he
.scould object TO having published to the
whole world" 1t stands to reason that Mr..
BLAINE measures the whole world, and
the American people in particular, by sn
exceedingly low standard. Such decla-
ration. coming from any source. ID an in

TIE Roanoke Bigamy Case.

r. f. Montgomery. the stenographer for
the Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
psuy at Roanoke. was arraigned at That
place to-day for bigamy. lie and his a..
l,ged wife have been living at the hotel
therc for several months and had made
large acquaintance. TO whom the present
dcnouement was great surprise.
Conductor Smith found that Montgomery
bad another wife in Philadelphia, and
caused his srrest, which when the alleged
wife learned she disclaimed any marriage
bttwCen them. Though the wife from
Philadelphia hus arrived to appear against
Montgomery, her evidence lacks several
valid portions. A license for the second
marriage has been produced, but the sigma
ture is faulty.
