 erty. ..
 NEW YORK, June 1.-The long looked for French steamship Isere came to anchor in the Horseshoe in the harbor this morning. having consumed twenty-seven days in her voyage from Rouen. The vessel is anchored abreast of the United States steamer Omaha, which has been awaiting her arrival for 8 week. The voyage was prolonged by the fact that the Isere had been used as trans port and had accommodations only for coal enough to last six days for steaming purposes. She took southeasterly course and touched at the Azore islands, where she recoaled. The most of the voyage was made under sail, her average speed not exceeding six knots per hour. The United States steamer Omaha received the visitors with full honors. When the Isere came to anchor Captain De Laune sent q telegram to General Stone, the acting secretary of the Bartholdi statue committee, notifying him of the vessels arrival and ask ing for instructions. To this General Stone sent reply welcoming Captain De Laune and his officers and informing him that he would at once go down to the Isere. At 9:30, accompanied by several members or the finance committee, General Stone proceeded down the bay in one of the tugs belonging to the French line. When nearing the Isere the American colors on the tug were dropped, which was responded to by the lowering of the French tri-color on the steamer. Captain deI aune met General Stone at the gangway and heartily greeted him. The other gentle men of the party were then introduced. The party was then escorted below; where General Stone laid before the French com mander the programme of the reception. The party then returned to the city. General Stone told reporter that he could not state positively whether or not the final reception of the Isere and the gift she besrs would take place tomorrow. He thought that the ceremonies would be postponed until Friday

 EvenIng-S5's Class Supper.
 At about seven o'clock last evening the American band marched to the Yale campus and took up it's position in front of South college.

The ladies' in pretty costumes who thronged the windows of South college clapped their hands and waved their handkerchiefs as the students danced. After the students had finished their pow WOW they formed four abreast and marched to the different college buildings and gave the Yale cheer to each. They then marched to the fence where c. M Hinkle of Cincinnati, for the sophomores, in a most witty speech gave the fence to the freshmen. W H. Fitzgerald responded for the fresh men, The ladies and gentlemen in the col lege buildings, the buildings opposite the campus and in the windows of the New Haven House clapped and eheered.

The Early Closing Movement.

The dry goods clerks hope yet to arrange for combination by the merchants which will result in the closing of the dry goods stores on Monday evenings. Messrs. Bolton & Neely offer the whole of Friday afternoon instead of Monday evening to their clerks. Thus the matter stands. The clothing store clerks think that they have six evenings a week, all except Sunday, to work in and that the movement ought to extend to them. They point to Providence where all the cloth ing stores close every night in the year ex- cept Monday and Saturday nights and say that the employers find that the arrange ment pays in business as we'll as sanitary point of view

 SPRINGFIELD, H., June 1.-The follow ing inform ation has been compiled from the proof sheets of the corn report soon to be is sued by the department of agriculture: The area of corn is much larger than last season, especially in the wheat sections of the State. Insects have damaged the growing corn quite seriously in many portions of the State and the cold and dry season has been un- favorable for the planting and growth of corn. Since June 1 corn has made satisfac- tory growth and his generally received good cultivation. There is much complaint that seed corn has failed to germinate. ma jority of the farmers have been compelled to plant corn a second and not infrequently a third time. The stand of corn is very un- even and there will probably be an unusual amount of damaged and unstable corn next fall

 LONDON. June I'M. Blowltz, Paris cor respondent of the Times, points out what he styles 8 decadence in the personnel in the ruling political classes due to the growing imitation of American political methods. Politics, he says, has ceased to become the work of reputable citizens of rank and cul- ture and has been turned over to professed politicians who make legislative affairs their personal business and profit, not means of guarding the rights of citizens and taking care of the country. Philosophers, scientists and iurists are being displaced from Parlia- ment by a lower stratum of society.
