cisl.-A miniature cyclone, followed by
one of the heaviest rains Of the sea-
son, visited this section yesterday
evening, which did great deal oI
damage to the small grain by telling
it TO the ground, The harvesters say
they will be able to save it all, not
withstanding. There was no other
damage done and the rain which fell
secures the largest yield of corn ever
raised in this county. Some farmers
claim they Will raise 90 bushels per
acre. The wheat and oat crops are
simply immense and will not fall
short OF % bushels of wheat and 50
bushels OF oats to the acre. The wei
worm has done some damage TO cot
ton, but it is tho opinion Of the plant
ers that it will come out and yet make

THE BUSINESS BUDGET.

NEW YORK, June S.-Government
bonds inactive and weak OF a decline
OF "a to "a, the heaviest decline being
in 3s ana AS. The stock market to-
day, as measured by the number of
shares bought and sold, lS7,700, was
not more active than yesterday, but
there was much better supply of ru-
nOrs and greater interest was taken IN
transactions. The leading features in
the market were the strength of the
Vanderbilts and the weakness OF
Lackswanns. 1t is reported that the
Vanderbilt party has parted with
so much New York Central stock that
it has virtually lost control and the
talk about tho efforts Of the Pennsyl-
venis and the Lackawanna managers;
also or movement said to have been
made by Mr.. Gould, TO establish
through eastern connection for the
Wabash by way Of the Grand Trunk
and the West Shore was received and
predictions freely INDUCED in that a
surprise was in store for the New
York Central party. AT the opening
this morning the market was weak
and prices yielded from a
to Il, led by Union Pacific and
New York Central, while Lsckawanns
declined u per cent. The loves
prices Of the day were made at thii
time. Between II and IL o'clock there
was rally of y to l5s, the leading
stock being Lake Shore, which adj
vsnced ~, and New York Contra
and Lackawanna each 4. In the af
ternoon the general list remained
steady until near the close, when i
showed some signs of being tired, bu
closed steady at little below the bes
prices of the day.

SPRINGFIELD, June ls.--In the
House Investigating Committee yes
terday MIR. Collins, chairman OF the
committee, laid before the organiza-
tion an affidavit signed by Il. IL.
Tubbs, superintendent OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company at Chi
oago, to the effect that during the
month Of February OF last year he had
been called upon at the Leland Hotel,
in this city, by Representative Baker,
OF Moultrie County, and that the latter
offered to kill the Telegraph bill for
$500; that of this sum $500
was to be given Baker for
himself and the remainder for distri-
button among other parties. The
reading OF the document occasioned
quite a sensation among the commit
teemen and summons was at once
sent to Baker, who soon made his ap-
pesrance aud being sworn said he
knew Mr.. Tubbs and had talked with
him upon several occasions. He ex.
plicitly denied that he had at any time
made any proposition TO Mr.. Tubbs or
any one else of the character referred
to. The committee then adjourned for

A Gloomy Report.

WASHINGTON, June lS.-The printed
report of the Agricultural Depart
ment, giving the condition of various
crops, as shown by the June returns, is
just out and contains
few points concerning wheat,
not given in the synopsis
furnished on the 10th instant. 1t is
stated that the general average condi.
ton of 62 per cent. for winter wheat is
the worst official showing since
1868. In 1881 it was "a,
and rs in 1888, while in
the great crop year of 1882
1t was 90 per cent in June. From the
closest scrutiny of the returns it Is cer-
tain that a large part of the reduction
in area is discounted in returns of
condition; yet in a few States it
Is evident that further allowances
must be made for unanticipated
destruction OF area by replanting, fu-
ture condition or misconceptions OF
present appearances, or both. To-
| gether they are not likely to change
the total wheat crop OF the country
more than 100000 bushels above
or below the estimate given OF
10000, 900 bushels. Still disasters prior
TO harvest or wet weather afterWar
might possibly make a greater reduc-
ton. Sufficient TO the day, however
is the evil thereof

that passengers could reach the CITY

Of the United States Postoflice Do

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
THE COMMITTEE AT ST. LOUIS,
Representatives of Business Interests
Against Pooling and Rebates.
RailroGders Favor Them
and a Commission.

ST. LOUIS, June lS.-Senators Gull
lom, Platt and Harris, of the commit
tee on inter state commerce, contin-
ued their investigation this morning,
Edward ii. Allen, president of the
board of trade of Kansas City, Mis-
souri,, was the first witness. He called
the attention of the committee
to the necessity of making
draw backs illegal. He said that by
drawbacks he meant the system un-
der which individual shippers are
given chance to make profit not
open to all. He also directed the COM
mittee's attention to the pooling
system among railroads, which
should be natural competition,
He suggested that the remedy was to
compel all roads to make open publica-
ton of their rates and to provide q
penalty whenever they should be
found cut ting them.
Senator Platt said that the committee
had been led to believe that there was a
general feeling Of hostility to railroads
in the west, to which Mr., Allen re-
piled that he did not know such TO be
the case.
1t developed that the grain rate from
Kansas City to st. Louis, $50 miles,
was 10 cents, and from st. Louis to
New York, about 1000 miles, II cents.
Mr.. Allen said he knew the average
farmer in the West would probably
think this an extortion, which gave
him the idea that railroad was his
natural enemy.
William Fl. Muller, secretary of the
Kansas City Board of Trade, fol-
lowed. He suggested that govern
Ax.k ,fun oh AL a
lead of the matter of rates for the
present and that the final remedy for
all complaints would be the establish
ment of an executive department OIL
the government, which would gather
in the different bureaus of transporta.
ton, agriculture and commerce under
one head, and which would thus guard
the shipping interest of the whole
country. Rebates and drawbacks
should be abolished absolutely and
Congress should positively prohibit al
pools.
George w. Parker, vice president o.
the Caro- Short Line Railroad, favored
the establishment of q national rail
commission. 1t should be in the ma
ture of board of arbitration anC
most OF its work would DO between tht
roads themselves. Pools should b.
legalized and the necessity for this
legalization would still exist iirebate!
were prohibited and rates published
He DIES ,ribed the rebate system as mos
nefsrious and said Congress should
stop it, Regarding the question of thu
passage OF law preventinga company
from charging more for short dis
lance than for long one, he said In,
proportion was q bad one, and If car
ried out, would result in disaster ant
bankruptcy. He thought Congress, o.
the commission, might declare mini
mum rate of freight. There was nj
necessity for maximum, as no roaC
needed TO BIO stopped in that direction
