NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-THE Farmers Con
gress held its second days session to-day
with Vice President Davis in the Chair. A
series of resolutions, which had been referred
to the Committee on Resolutions, was sub

upon Congress the imperative necessity of the
elevation of the Department of Agriculture
to one of the chief executive departments
of the government, and another declaring it
the duty of the general government to care
for and improve the great water ways of the
nation.
Resolution on the Blair educational bill
and urging on Congress the
advisability of passing it, called forth consid-
cradle discussion on the manner of dividing
the amount between the North and South.
which resulted in its return to the Committed
on Resolutions for further action.
Papers were read on the Improvement OF
poor lands, by j. B. Wilson, of Georgia: the
relation of capital and labor to taxation. by
Robert Gates, of Tennessee, and the impor-
tance of the National Department of Agri-
culture, by N. g. Ellegrew. In connection
with the Cotton Convention now being held

cotton ginneries of the South have deter
mined to organize a'COtton Ginner's Conven r
tiOn, and to-day took the initiatory steps in
the premises. The Executive Committee OF
the Young Farmers Club held meeting to

WINTERS SNOW BLOCKADE.

Mail Matter Accommodating by Hundreds
of Tons on the Western Railroads.
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-As a result Of the
blizzard, the dispatching room of the post.
office and a large covered platform at
which the mails are loaded on wagons are.
filled with huge piles of mail pouches con-.
tanning letters and cloth sacks filed with.
papers. Every mail car in the depots is
crowded with mail so that they cannot takd
more. The amount of mail thus delayed
weighs probably from 80 to 100 tons, and
nearly all of it originates in Chicag0l
When the roads open up the work of tho
postal employees in all branches of the serl
vice will be extremely heavy. There ard
now still out ninety direct mails which,
are past due in Chicago, and on which SOC
pouches may be expected. The mail.
transfer contractor is suffering badly on
account of the delays, as he is obliged II
send wagons to each train 10 go out and
also to keep 4 wagon at each Of the depot
to receive incoming mails.
The snow blockade has brought abOul
a famine in milk, and much trouble, Il
not suffering, has been caused by difficup 4
in transporting coal through the streeta
The street car tracks have been shoveleks
clear, and the snow banked up betweep
the tracks and sidewalks makes it impos
sible for teams to reach houses to delive,
coal. This condition of affairs also operates
against the delivery of any kind of come
modities. Wagons that ordinarily trans
port two tons weight can scarcely &c
along with half ton. Many manufactd
ries which have been in the habit of ~
ceiving coal for fuel and raw material
for manufacture, direct from tt
cars by side tracks, have bee,
compelled to stop because hid
winds and drifting snow make
impossible to see the tracks clear. Tk
thermometer registered 1S degrees belos
zero at O'Clock this morning, but graz
ually grew warmer as the day progressed
and at 8 O'Clock tonight indicated
degrees above zero. At O'Clock th'
evening light snow began falling.

BROWNS PLEA FOR sPEER.
All Opposition Ascribed to Politics
Carlisle COnvalescing.

w WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Tae Senate
Judiciary Committee heard Senator
Brown to-day in favor of Emory Speer,s
confirmation. MIR. Browns argument
was that inasmuch as nothing had been
said against Mr.. Speer's personal charac-
ter there was no good reason why he
should not be confirmed. He vouched for
Mr.. Speer's ability and learning in the
law. He thought that he would make an
excellent District Judge. He con-
tended that the opposition to
Mr.. Speer's confirmation was
political and not personal, and that it
ought not to be regarded by the commit
tee. He did use before the committee, it
is understood, his argument that Mr..
Speer will be good Democrat within 6
months from March 4. Mr.. Speer expects
an immediate favorable report. Mr..
Brown says that Mr.. Speer will be con-
tirmed. This is not as yet certain.
MR.. CARLISLE BETTER.
Speaker Carlisle is much improved to-
day and his doctor thinks that he will be
able to be out as soon as the weather set
ties. His trouble is said to be inflamma-
tion of the bladder.
CLEVELAND DESIRES RETIREMENT.

The Prosecutor for the People to Pres
the Case Against Her.

the Case Against Her.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Mrs. Lucille
Yseult Dudley, who shot O'Donovan
Rosa and who is now confined in the
TOmbs, was to-day taken to the Supreme
Court on writ Of habeas corpus. The
court room was thronged with specta-
tors. Her counsel claimed that as she
had not been convicted of any Offense, she
should be released from Imprisonment or
| admitted to bail. The counsel for the
prosecution argued that Mrs, Dudley
was held to await ROssa's ability
to appear against her as witness.
The counsel for the accused said that
the writ had been applied for because 1t
| had been publicly stated that ROssa did
not himself propose to prosecute the
woman. Physicians who had examined
ROssa said that he was able to appear and
testify. There was no reason why the ex-
animation should not proceed. Mrs. Dud-
ley felt that she ought to be informed Of
who her accuser was. The counsel for
| the prosecution stated that he assumed
that the people would take the usual
| course in this case for an assault
upon the street. Judge DOnahue declared
that he would not interfere with the Po-
| lice Magistrate in the matter. The cOun-
sci for the prosecution then asked to have
the writ dismissed, and the prisoner re-
manded, and Judge Donahue granted the
request. Mrs. Dudley's counsel stated
that he would apply Immediately to a Po-
lice Magistrate to have an examination,
or for the release Of the prisoner.

EXHIBITORS VERY IRATE.
Lack of Passes Almost Causes a Lively
Riot

Lack of Passes Almost Causes a Lively
Riot.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 11.-Last week
the management of the exposition notified
the exhibitors that after Monday tenn
pOrary passes heretofore used by them
would not be good, but could be exchanged
for new ones at the Office of installation.
The holders of passes state that they daily
called at Mr.. Mullen's office and were IN
formed that the permanent passes were not
aeady, but that the old ones would hold good
until new ones were issued. On Monday the
exhibitors were told that they would have to
provide themselves with new passes, as they
would not be permitted TO enter the next day
Tuesday a rush was made by the eX-
hibitOrs for the Installation Office
and a few succeeded in obtaining
passes, but others were unsuccessful.
Yesterday notice was given by the manage
ment that passes could be obtained at the
down town office. but whens the exhibitors
called there they were informed that the
tickets were not ready, and they paid their
way into the grounds.
AN INDIGNATION MEETING.
This treatment of the exhibitors resulted in
demonstration last evening, when a meet
ing was held and the management severely
denounced. Previous to the adjournment
of the meeting those present agreed to meet
at the main entrance at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. At that hour about $50 persons had
assembled tnere, including number Of ladies
and girls, who had been kept shivering in the
cold. as many of them had no money and
others refused to pay their way. At 10 O'Clock
about 300 exhibitors forced their way
into the grounds, the gatekeepers having
refused them admission, saying that they
were ting under orders. some exhibitors
paid their way to-day, while others came
down town rather than take part in the dem
onstraton.
ANOTHER ANGRY DEBATE.
This evening the exhibitors had a meeting
in the main building, not as the Exhibitors
Association, but as number of indignant
persons who had been uEreasOnably DELAYED
in obtaining that which was Justly their due.
\ resolution was offered that the exhibitors
now at Washington, acting in conjunction
with the United States Commissioners to
secure an additional appropriation, be in
structed to make it part Of their appeal that
the appropriation be issued conditional for
the change of management and not other
wise. The resolution was not adopted. A
committee was finally appointed to wait
upon the management, who in their
own defense say that the delays Were
unavoidable, and promise an immediate ad-
justment. AT one time a serious riot was
threatened, and Chief of Installation Mullen
was denounced in severe terms by the angry
exhibitors

AN UNsEEMLY wRANGLE.

Several cities are squabbling
over the location Of burial place
for Grant, as IN ancient Greece
they wrangled over the resting
place of Homer.
On the surface it looks as if each
interest was vieing with the other
to give the remains Of the illus
trious dead as lovely spot as pos
sible to rest in, but at bottom it
means that various real estate in
terests are warning with each other
to secure the remains and thereby
boom the country in the immedi-
ate vicinity. This is exactly what
it means and everybody knows it.
Riverside is an extension of Cen
trail Park and thessecuring of the
remains is = sharp financial strike
which will benefit the park very
materially.

The case brought by the propri-
etor of the APPEAL against the
State of Nevada was dismismissed
in the Justice Court yesterday, on
the grounds that the plaintiff was
improperly named in the indict-
ment, and the MORNING APPEAL
was not an incorporated institution,
ETC., etc. The decision was based
upon ruling made in the Supreme
Court against the Mexican Mill
and Mining Company some years
ago.
The method of meeting the case
was not anticipated by the plaintiff,
as it was generally understood that
the State was anxious to make a
test case tried on its own merits
The ruling, however, does not bar
the plaintiff from further proceed
ings, and another suit will be be-
gun at once.
