agricultural Department.

The Sowing in Indiana, as Reported by the
Agricultural Department,
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan pa report has iusi
been prepared by the Commissioner of Agrs
culture, showing the area of wheat sown in the
different States, and its condition at this time
The report is made up from reports IL
agents in the several counties, and may, there
fore, be relied upon accurate. There is less
wheat in the ground than year ago by over
2,0000 600 acres, brought about by the prevalence
of drought and dscouragement on account OF
low prices prevailing for grain The Commis-
sioner believes better prices may be expected
for the crop forthcoming, The seeding in the
South was very late, progressing into Decembea
in some localities.
For Indiana the following is reported as to
winter wheat
Madison county promises WELL Warricf:

made. Spencer Early sown, an average; late

IMPORTANT INSURANCE DECISION.
The Terms and Restrictions of Policies Must
be Strictly Complied With.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23-Justice Clark has
handed down an opinion in the case of the Pitts
burg Insurance Company vs. Jonas Frazer,
which involved question as to the liability Of
insurance companies for losses by fire. The con-
tract of insurance was against fire on the dry
goods, groceries and merchandise usually kept
in a country store. In the same policy, there
was provision restricting the quantity of gun
powder to be kept on the insured premises. The
Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny county
admitted evidence to show that the gunpowder,
in the quantity kept By Frazer although greater
than the amount allowed by the policy, was
usually part of the contents of country
store. The Supreme Court holds this to be an
error, and decides hat the general provision of
a policy to insure the usual contents of country
store cannot be SO construed as to render null
and void specific restriction Of the quantity of
any particular commodity. The court therefore
holds that the clause restricting the amount of
gunpowder must be strictly complied with

He Hopes that Ireland Will Soon Have Its
Own Parliament
CORK, Jan. 23-Mr Parnell delivered lec-
ture this evening, before crowded audience
on "Irish Parliaments" He eulogized in glow
ing terms the aid given the Irish national cause
by Irish men and women beyond the seas
and especially in free America, where
exiles had opportunity to see the wonderful
advance made by that country since its emanci
patton from English misrule. He reviewed the
history of past Parliaments in Ireland, and said
he hoped to see established at Dublin
another Parliament as able as that body in
which Henry Grattan was the most bril-
liant ornament, and in which he intro
Mr. Parneu said he fully believed a
restoration to Ireland of her own
parliamentary power was imminent. England
was already beaten in heart, and that glorious
result would speedily be accomplished if Irish
men remained true to the cause and themselves.
He contended that between 1882 and the union.
Ireiand's prosperity advanced by leaps and
bounds.
Mr.. Parnell said the extension of the fran
chlse would give Ireland representative members
in Parliament instead of representatives of
the English olgarchy, and would re-
fleet the real opinion of the Irish
people. 1t was impossible for even the intoier
ant English Parliament to refuse these de-
mands. 1t only remains for the Irish to be as
determined as their comrades to gain that re-
presentation which was their right and less than
which would never content them.

Congressional Sympathy and Possible Sup
port for the Intruders.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. pa good deal of sym
pathy is shown by the members and senators
generally from the prairie States for the
boomers who have invaded the Indian Terri
tory. If the issue was to come up in the House,
at least, just at this time, it is not improbable
that the boomers would be approvedin their
action. The senators are more stern and appeal
more to law and propriety than the members.
This is always SO. Members are largely gov
erned by impulse, sympathy, and care little for
precedents or law when their blood runs fast.
To-day Kansas member said the time was
not for distant when the Indian Territory
would be opened; that the sentiment
of the people in the surrounding country de-
manded it, and that that sentiment was spread
ing throughout the States east. He thought it
was against the very commonest kind of sense
to lock up block of fine country 30 that, since
it would not be titled nor grazed, it could not be
improved used by those who wanted
to improve it. The Indians, he said, did
not want the the land in the condition it was in
and the government would not give them con
troll of its disposition He held that the in
vaders were right, and said that they were en-
couraged by the best people in the West and
that since their motives in going into the Terri
tory were of the highest and purest order, it
was an outrage that Congress did not legalize
their acts in settling upon the lands. The sen
ators are not so conservative, and some of them
are very impatient at the slow movements of
the soldiers in ejecting the boomers"
