WASHINGTON, April 23.-The President
sent to the Senate to-day report from the
Secretary OF State in reply to resolution
OF the Senate, requesting information as
to the average production, consumption,
expectation ard Importation OF wheat, rye,
corn and cotton in foreign countries, their
probable requirements. of such products
from the United States before the crops OF
the coming crop year are ready, and other
information bering On the question of the
demand for the grain and cotton products
OF the United States. The Secretary, in
his report, says: "The calculations and
estimates submitted prove, as far as sta
tistics can prove, Under the circumstances,
that the stock OF wheat on hand in Europe
at the close of 1888 did not materially diff.
fer from the stock on hand at the close of
the previous years; that the wants of Eu-
rope are as imperative and as great as
they we're in 1888, and that the demands
upon the United States should naturally
be as great as they were in 1888.
For how long a time Europe may OF
| can draw upon her reserve stock, or
what are the exact considerations which
control several countries, especially the
United Kingdom, which may be said to
regulate the wheat markets Of the world,
time alone can develop" He also says the
most liberal allowance for the wheat output
necessary to the worlds consumption
shows the United States should be drawn
upon the present year for III 900 0OC
bushels in round numbers, against 1885,
100000 bushels from all other wheat
growing countries. 1t thus appears that
the United States, instead OF being con.
trolled by, should be able to control for
ei9n markets.

De. BAGsHAwE, Catholic Bishop of

no mere innocent surplus of the produce
of the working classes labor after they
have been provided with the means of
decent existence, food and clothing, house

but by dreadful deeds of cruelty, extor-

poor and OF the Church, trampling down
handicraftsmen and factory workers, ag.

weaker races, American Indians, negroes,

deeds of this character are not deeds

bishop also complains that in the last two
centuries the poor have been literally
robbed of vast quantities of common lands
by acts of Parliament: that in Ireland
there are now 100000 of acres that might
be cultivated, and that l2,oo0, 900 acres of

northwestern part of this county, but
without success till last night, when Rex

for them, but the men skipped off, but
Fitzbarry was tracked to Kramer's place,

fence, but denied cutting himself, and re-
fused to give the name of his partner. The
band to which FitzDarry belongs number
eight in all, all of whom are known and

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The troubles

and which has been on the tongue of
the gossips for some time, to-day took on q
tangible form in the shape of suit for q
divorce brought by Helen Marshall Carol,
against Samuel S. Carroll, major-general
on the retired list OF the United States
army. The charge is adultery with no
torious woman OF this city. The petitioner
states that they were married at st. Louis,
September 3, 1856, by the Rev. JJr. Schuy-
Ter, her maiden name being Helen Bennet.
Since the discovery of these offenses, for
the sake of her children, and in the hope
that he would abandon his vicious habits,
she remained with him. But his conduct
has been daily growing worse and there
fore she seeks the protection OF the law.
The parties to the suit are well known in
military circles throughout the country,

related to some of the most distinguished
