Refuse TO Inlpeach Ferry.

PARIS, June 4 The chamber of depu-
ties to-day resumed its discussion OF the re-
port OF the committee of the Initiative, ad-
vising the rejection of the motion to inn
peach the entire Ferry ministry. N. Bris-
son. prime minister, speaking for the pres
ent government. urged the house to accept
the report OF the committee. To reject
the report now. on the eve of general
election. would be useless
proceeding. Such action would but reopen
the discussion, which can only result in
dividing the Republican party. The re-
marks of VI. Brisson were received with ap-
plause. The motion to impeach the Ferry
ministry was rejected by vote of 322 to
153. In course OF the discussion several
violent speeches were made.

How Deep is Sleep!
Medical Advocate.


Two of Vierordt's pupils, Moninghoff and
Piesbergen, have made the depth of sleep
the subject of investigation. They worked
upon the principle that the depth of sleep
is proportional to the strength of the sensory
stimulus necessary to awaken the sleeper
that is, to call forth some decisive sign of
awakened consciousness. AS sensOry
stimulus they made use Of the auditory SEN
sation produced by dropping a lead ball
from given height The strength of the
stimulus was reckOned, in accordance with
some recent investigations of VierOrdt, as
increasing, not directly as the height, but as
the 0. SO power of the height. For per-
fectly healthy man the curve which they
give shows that for the first hour the slum-
Der is very light; after one hour and fifteen
minutes the depth Of sleep increases rap
idly, and reaches it's maximum point at one
hour and forty-five minutes. The curve
then falls quickly to two hours and fifteen
minutes, and afterward more gradually.
At about four hours and thirty minutes
there is a second small rise, which reaches
its maximum at five hours and thirty min
utes, after which the curve again gradually
approaches the base line until the time of
awakening. Experiments made upon per-
sons not perfectly healthy, or after having
made some exertion, give curves of diff
ferent form.

Recovery of Diamonds.

CHICAGO, June 4.-AccOrdlng to story
made public here this morning. Lawyer
Frank o. Smith has at last been successful
in recovering and digging up SS,001 worth
OF diamonds that had been buried in Lin
coin park, this city. by a client, Andrew
J. Anderson, who last November was sent
to the pententiary for fifteen years for
burglary. The motive for hiding the jew
els was the fear on the part of Anderson
that they would betray him should he fall
into the hands of the officers. Anderson
described to his lawyer how he had lain
down under clump of bushes. wrapped
the diamonds in piece of brown paper,
dug a hole with his hands in the earth at
the roots, covered the gems up and then
half broke off three small twigs so that they
hung down and pointed directly to the spot
where the package was buried. In spite OF
four failures on the part of the lawyer,
Anderson persisted in declaring that
the diamonds were there, and he
went to Joliet maintaining the truth
of the story. The matter dropped, but a
few days ago Mr.. Smith was at the park.
and from force of habit he wandered
down to the clump of bushes. There
were number of Jumps of earth just as he
had left them on chilly December morn
ing. On careleSSly kicking two or three OF
the Jumps they crumbled to pieces, and out
rolled a small piece of brown paper. He hast
lily unwrapped the paper and exposed four
large diamonds and monster emerald. The
Jewels were still in their settings. There
was solitaire ring, breastpin, pair of
solitaire earrings and an emerald hin. The
gems were all of the first water, handsomely
cut deep and pure. In the II onth of June,
1884. L. NJ. Walker of Darlington. KY,
left Milwaukee for Waukesha Springs with
Mrs. Walker. She placed her jewelry in
4 SMALL HAND BAG,
that was carelessly thrown on the seat be-
side her, and when she was leaving the
car the handbag was missing. Anderson
always maintained that he did not steal
it, but that one of his gang was
in the same sleeper, saw Mrs. Walkers
careless act and taking advantage of her
absence for moment filched the bag. Mr..
Smith promptly communicated with Mr..
Walker, who came to Chicago to identify
and claim the property. Anderson is said
to be member of wealthy family in
New York. The restoration of the dia-
monds is supposed to be part of a move
ment to secure him a pardon.

of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway
company was held to-day. Chauncey NJ.
Depew represented the Vanderbilt holding
and voted his $1,000, 600 of stock. There
was some curiosity as to the amount he
would vote, it having been stated that Van
derbilt had been disposing of a portion OF
his holdings, but if SO. he had reserved the
right to represent it at the meeting. Vice
President Sykes was in eminent good
humor, probably because his assertion in
regard to the size of the quarterly dividend
was borne out by the amount declared, to
the confusion of the bear prophets. There
were present Chauncey M. Depew, G. j.
Osborne, A. G. Dulman, John M. Burke,
Keep, Marvin Hughitt and N. K. Fairbank.

Disco,.rnging Crop Vows.

Topeka, Kan, June As there has
been great deal of speculation as to what
the monthly report of the state board OF ag-
riculture on the wheat crop would be, and
false statements having been sent out, Will
lam Sims, the secretary, has furnished the
following statement, which was only con-
cluded this morning. The condition OF
other crops will be furnished
later. The injury TO the wheat
crop from the severity OF the winter,
insect depreciation and other causes is now
found TO be much greater than appearances
indicated one month ago. Many fields.
which at the date of our last report, prom
ised fair yield, now show more cheat than
wheat and will have to be plowed up and
seeded Of the 161, ,33S acres sown to Win
ter wheat in the state in the fail OF 1854, at
least fifty per cent. have been abandoned and
the ground seeded to spring crops, and the
work of destruction still continues. Inc
present outlook indicates that the wneab
harvest will prove the
MOST DISASTROUS FAILURE
in the state, and warrants the belief that
the total product will be required for seed
and bread within the state dur
ing the year. The information re-
ceived at this Office shows the
condition to be per cent. compared with
one year ago-a loss of % per cent. from
the condition April 80. L therefore esti-
mate that the product of winter wheat IN
the state this year cannot exceed II, 900, 600
bushels, slightly more than 25 per cent. OF
the yield of last year and about SO per cent.
OF the average yield for five years back.
Mr.. Sims this evening furnished the fol-
lowing statements as regards the crops:
The area of spring wheat in the state IS
found to be about equal to that sown in the
spring of 1884. Its condition has improved
since the April report, and as compared
with the condition one year ago, is 1O1.56
per cent, which, with favor
bic weather until harvest would indl-
cate product of 1880, 592 bushels,
a promised increase over last year OF 21, 4S2
bushels. Corn, estimated area, 1862, S3S
acres: increase, 1856, $50 acres over last year;
condition. compared with last year, 81 per
cent: probable production, 100, 712, 900
bushels, a shortage of about 30, 600, 600
bushels compared with 1884. Oats. the
area and condition indicate a product OF
SO, 924 900 bushels, all increase Of 4, S37, 900
over last harvest.

After the Apaches.

GALVESTON, Tex, May "A special
from El Paso says: The latest news received
here concerning the raiding by the Apaches
comes from the neighborhood of Hillsboro,
New Mexico. Fifteen armed men
under the leadership Of one Jack
son, left Hillsboro Tuesday morning,
and before, noon had recovered
twenty-eight horses. They continued on
the trail, which before night became very
fresh, and the men concluded to go into
camp and send for reinfOrcements Jack
son accordingly sent swift courier back to
Hillsboro, and 120 men, mostly territorial
militia, left at 2 p. m. yesterday afternoon
to assist Jackson's band. The Indians, ap-
parently, are driving a large lot of cap
tured stock before them. Unless they
abandon the stock and take to flight Jack
son is certain to overtake and attack them.

A ShrevEd Scheme.

A well-informed railroad official advanced
the theory yesterday that President J. j.
Hill of the Manitoba road did not 90 to
New York with view to selling con-
trolling interest in the st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis & Manitoba railway, but went to trade
blocks of his company's stock for Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul and Rock Island stock. The
official stated that Mr.. Hill understands
that before long either the Rock Island or
the Milwaukee s. st. Paul roads will build to
the boundary line unless something is done
to prevent them. By trading certain
amount of Manitoba stock for certain
amount of the other two companies stock,
stockholders of those two corporations
could be elected directors of the Manitoba
road and Mr.. Hill and his friends could
maintain the controlling interest in the line.
The idea is that if stockholders of the Rock
Island or Milwaukee roads held stock in
the Manitoba they would not want to lessen
the value of the latter company's stock by
building another line in its territory.

RICHMOND, Va, June 1.-The trial of
Thomas Jefferson Cluverius for the murder
of his cousin, Fannie Lillian Madison, hay

his own counsel. Adams, i'll opening
his case. made very long address to the
court. He complained of Justice Manisty'S
conduct while presiding over the trial Of
the action for libel which Adams last year
brought against Bernard Coleridge, son OF
the lord chief Justice. for writing letters
defamatory TO him (Adams) TO Miss Cole

to justify the acts he made on his sister and
myself in his letter to Miss Mildred"
Adams concluded by asking the court to
quash the judgement OF Justice Manisty,
who reversed the jury's verdict and
dismissed the case, with costs to plaintiff.
Attorney General james replied to Adams
by dwelling at length upon the legal as
