sumption and Distribution.

ana distribution.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The report
Of the consumption and distribution of
corn and wheat from the statistical re-
turns of the Department OF Agriculture
shows that 371l per cent. of the last crop
of corn remains in farmers hands, against
39 per cent. on March l, 1884. The supply
in farmers hands last March was 512, ,OO0.-
600 bushels. The remainder now is about
675, 200, 900 bushels. The stock in the
Middle States is 100000 bushels.
against 100000 bushels last March. In
the South the proportion is the
same as last year. 4l.6 per
cent, but the quantity is 145, 100000
bushels against 13S, ,000. 900. The prOpor-
tiOn in the West is 36.7 instead of 80. :.
and the quantity amounts to 400 900, coo
bushels, or l44 900, 900 bushels more than
the stock Of last March. Two years AGO
the stock remaining at the same date was
5oI,OUO,0OO bushels, or 1868 per cent. of a
crop of 1,6l7, 100000. The amount shipped
is few millions less than last year. The
exports equal 2S,000,000 bushels against
100000 at the same date in 1884. and
the commercial receipts at the Western
markets are also less full than the East
ern crop, reducing slightly the demand.
Notwithstanding the reduction in price,
the proportion Of merchantable corn is
very large, 81 per cent, against an aver
age of 50 tor period Of years and 60 for
last year.
The wheat reported in farmers hands
is about 33 per cent. OF the crop of l69.-
COO,OOO bushels, or 30, ZOO, 600 bushels more
than the stock of last March, when the
crop was less by $4,000, 900 bushels. There
has been slightly freer use of wheat for
bread, and little of the poorer quality
has been fed to stock. The stock of March
1, 1888, was 2S.5 per cent. of the previous
crop, or 143,0O0,COO bushels, and that of
March l, 1882, was 9S,0OO,OOO bushels.
The quality is reported above the average
in every Western State, except Illinois
and Missouri, and nearly all the Atlantic
and Gulf Coast States.

FORT GAINES, GA, March 10.-This
morning about 2:30 o'clock the town was
aroused by the sharp peals of the firebells
and yells of fire, which proved to be the
dastardly act of some incendiary, who
used kerosene prcfusely both under and
around Cooks Hotel building, and struck
the match and left. The whole building
was soon filled to almost suffocation with
smoke. The office boy was aroused by the
barking of dog in the office, after which
all in the building were quickly aroused.

thing up to the fire, but timely relief

One sick man was much frightened for
his safety, but was soon rescued. An I'M

Native and Russian Troops Getting Toe

LONDON, March 1O.-The Pan Mall
Gazette says that it believes in the cor
rectness of the news received last even
ing to the effect that the Russians have
advanced their outposts in Zulfikar Pass
further south, instead of withdrawing
them north, as requested to do by Eng
land. The Gazette says that there can be
no doubt that grave fears are entertained
or collision between the Russian and
Afghan troops. as this last alvarez has
placed the opposing Outposts face to face.
and has taken the Russians much nearer
to Afghan territory. There is no indica-
ton, however, says the GGzette, that the
russians nave gone beyond what they
consider the Afghan boundary line.
The government officials have not vet
received definite reply from Russia to
their latest Overtures for an amicable ad-
Justment OF the Afghan frontier dispute,
and are still waiting for it.
Sir Peter Lumsden telegraphs as fol-
lows, via Meshed: "Afghan scouts report
that a small detachment of Russians has
advanced to Nihalsheni, the furthest
southwest point on the Heri Rud claimed
for the Russian frontier. The advance
does not complicate the work of delimita-
ton, but endangers a collision with the
Afghans.
A dispatch from Meshed says that
belief prevails there that the Russian
troops from the Caucasus are massipg at
at Askabad.
LONDON, March II, 3 A. M.-The Per-
sian paper SchenaS saws that at a Cabinet
Council at Cabul, the Ameer and several
Generals being present, it was decided to
ask the English Government to treat with
Russia for the restoration of Pull Khatum
and Penjdeh, but not make Russian Occu-
patton casus belli, the places not being
OF strategic importance. The Sulfkar
pass, however, it was decided, must be
recovered by force of arms if necessary.
The Persian paper Iibldk says that sew
eral Herat notables have arrived at
Sarakhs to present a petition to the Rus
slams to annex Herat.
The Times says that the Russians have
advanced further intOAfghan territory and
that a collision is imminent. The Afgbans
are prepared to withstand an attack. and
the British Government has ordered Gen,
sir Peter Lumsden to organize a system
OF defense. The Ameer of Afghanistan
has requested England to fOrtify Herat so
that 1t can be defended by Afghan troops.
RUSSIAN PRESS COMMENTS.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 1O.-The
AoUoe Vremya expresses the opinion
that the dispute on the Afghan question
aries from an erroneous impression on
the part of England as to the true posi-
tion of Russia in Central Asia. England
now recognizes her mistake and wishes
modus vivendi in order to avoid occupy
ing Herat. If England should occupy
Herat Russia would be compelled to in
terlere for the sake of her prestige.
Russia will not surrender hairs breadth
Of her present positions nor will she
abate her moderate demands. Other
Russian papers have similar comments.

THE SOUTHERN TELEGRAPH RECEIVER
SHIP.
To-day, in the United States Court,
Judge BOarman heard the application of
Judge .. A. Lochrane for the appoint
ment of aGeOrgia receiver for the South
ern Telegraph Company. Judge LOch-
rane owns $4,000 in bonds of the CON-
pany, and wanted a receiver appointed to
protect his interests. Judge Lochrane
appeared in his own behalf. Congress-
man JOhG 5. Wise was the opposing coun-
sci, appearing in the interest OF Senator
Mamma wi m Of . fIo
bon1s and who represents $650,000 of the
bonds OF the company. Judge Boar
man refused to appoint re-
ceiver for Georgia and confirmed
the appointment Of o. L. Boulwar, of
Richmond, as receiver. requiring him to
act in conformity with the law and dis
charge the duties of the office as though
he was receiver for this State. The de-
cision seems to be satisfactory to the con-
tending elements.
THE NEW BONDS.
Attorney General Anderson, State
Treasurer Hardeman and Gov. Mcdaniel
conferred together this morning upon the
subject of issuing the bonds authorized
by the act of the last Legislature. While
the details of the conference are not lub-
licly known, it is believed that it has
been decided to issue the bonds
at an early day and
place them upon the market.
They will bear a low rate of interest,
probably 5 per cent. An agent of an en-
craving house called upon the Governor
several days ago to get the work.

by Party Vote.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-In the Sem
ate to-day the resolution offered yesterday
by Mr.. Hoar that Henry w. Blair be
sworn as Senator to fill the vacancy, was
taken up. Mr.. Vest reaffrmed the opir-
ions expressed by him when the Bell case
was under discussion upon the power of
the Executive of a State to appoint a Sem
atOr.
Mr.. Vest held that the vacancy which came
within the provision of the cOnstitut on re-
lating to this subject was not one occurring in
the regular course of events by the expiration
of term, but was one related to personal cir
cumstances Of a senator by whose retirement
a vacancy was made He discussed the pro-
visions OF the constitution and quoted pIece-
dents in support OF his position. Up
to 1878 not q decision had been
made which was not in accordance with his
DOsition. The Lanman case had been admit
ted during the discussion of the right OF Mr..
Bell to a seat by weighty authorities on the
Republican side to be a precedent for guild
ance in cases of the kind,
Mr.. HOar did not think that it would be
profitable TO enter upon the wide field of dis
cusslOn which this question opened. The SEN
ate woulf, he thought, rest its action upon the
authority OF the Bell precedent if the
