THE WHEAT CROP.
Extensive Reduction in the Area
of Winter Wheat.
The Present Condition of the Crop Worse
Than in 1883.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The returns of
April to the Department of Agriculture in
dictate reduction of over 10 per cent. of
last years area in winter wheat. The ag-
gregate shortage amounts to 5000, 900 acres.
A decrease is reported in every State ex-
cept Oregon. 1t is % per cent. in Kansas
and Virginia; 20, in Mississippi; 10, in Cali
fornia; IA, in Alabama; -, in Tennessee,
Illinois and Missouri; II, in New York and
North Carolina; 10, in New Jersey sgd
Indiana; !, gina in Georgia and Ohio;
8, in Pennsylvania and Delaware;
B, in Michigan; 3, in Arkansas, and in
South Carolina. The present condition OF
wheat. as reported, is worse than IN 1888;
It is n per cent, against 96 last year and
80 in 1883. In 1881, the year of lowest re-
cent rate of yield, the condition April !
was S5, and serious loss was sustained af-
terward. The real status of the
crop will be better shown a month
hence, when the vitality Of the roots has as
been demonstrated and the character OF
the spring determined. On the
present showing the reduction of the yield,
on the basis of last years reduction, prom.
ises to be 40, ,000, 600 bushels, on account OF
reduced area, and more than &C, 600 ,OO0 from
the crop will exceed 400, 0,000, 900 bushels OF
fall short of it depends upon the reliability
Of present appearances and on future con-
ditions affecting growth and ripening. The
soil was in bad condition at the time OF seed
ing on the Atlantic Coast from New Jersey
to Georgia and in West Virginia and Ten,
nessee. 1t was better in the Southwest and
in Missouri, Illinois and Michigan. In the
Ohio Valley it was scarcely in medium
condition. Damage by the Hessian ny was
not severe, though worst in Indiana, ILL
nois, Missouri and Kansas, where injuries
have occurred in three-tenths of the re-
ported territory. The acreage of rye has
been decreased in about the same proper
| tion as wheat, but the condition of the croI
| is decidedly better, the average being
| eighty seven per cent.

mously declare that it is England's i'm
perative duty to fight unless Russia re-
calls General Komaroff and disowns his
action in attacking the Afghans.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 10.-The morning
newspapers throughout Russia, with very
few exceptions, in commenting on the re.
cent battle between the Russians and
Afghans on the Kooshik River, are very
bel1icose in their utterances, and charge
Earl Dufferin, Viceroy of India, and Sir
Peter Lumsden, the British Commissions,
with provoking the war by advising the
Afghans to advance on Puli-Khisti, which
the British officials knew was part of the
Russian territory. The Afghans, they say,
also fully understood that Puli-Khisti was
Russian territory, and would never have
attempted to advance their pickets to that
British @ officials. The war party fully en-
dorse the assertions of the newspapers, and
are very pugnacious over the affair.

TERRIBLE AFFAIR.
The Horrible Death of q Child From an
Attack by q Rabid Spitz.

BALTIMORE, Md, April s.-An infant child
of Mrs. Mary Carroll, wealthy widow OF
Washington County, Maryland, whose hus-
band died from hydrophobia few weeks
ago, was killed yesterday and almost COM
pletely devoured by the same dog
which caused her husbands death.
The babe was left alone by
Mrs. Carroll at play upon the kitchen foor
while she went upstairs to attend to some
household duties. The dog, large-sized
spitz, was confined by chain to dog
house near the kitchen door. For several
days past the animal had been show
ing signs of madness, and it had been
decided to shoot him yesterday after.
noon. A few minutes after Mrs. Carroll
reached the second floor she was alarmed
in great pain. Rushing down stairs, Mrs.
Carroll was Mortified upon discovering
her ne-months' '-old babe being lacerated
by the brute. The dog was shaking the
babe as if it was a rat, and the blood was
streaming from all parts of its body. Mrs.
Carroll ran for assistance. Upon the
arrival of neighbors the child
found calmly seated by the body feasting
on it. One arm had been completely
devoured. A shot from a revolver soon
the same animal bit Mr.. Carroll while the
latter was whipping the animal. A week
later he was attacked with hydrophobia,
and died on Wednesday last. On his death
bed Mr.. Carroll requested that the dog
should not be killed, and in Difference to
that request the dog was granted his life,
but, as the sequel shows, unfortunately.

WAR IT IS.
Bloody Battle Between Afghans and Rus
CLANS at the River Kooshik.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 9.-The official
Messenger publishes the following this
morning: General Komerof reports that
in consequence of hostile manifestations
by the Afghans he was compelled to at
tack them. The Afghans were posted upon
both banks of the river Kooshik, in forti-
fed positions. The fight occurred on the
30th of last month. The Afghan force
consisted of 1000 men, with
eight guns. They were defeated
with-a loss of 500. All the artillery,
two standards of banners and the entire
camp outfit and all provisions of the Al
ghans were captured. The Russian loss
was three subalterns and ten soldiers
killed and twenty mine wounded. When
the fighting ended General Komarof re-
turned across the river to the positions
he had formerly occupied. Cen
eraI Komaroff also reports that some
but not participants in the engagement, ap-
pealed to the Russians for protection when
they saw that the Afghans were beaten.
But unfortunately, he says, a convoy whicn
he Immediately dispatched to the reiief OF
these officers was unable to overtake the
Afghan cavalry, who carried the brltlsn
away with them in their flight.
LONDON, April 9.-The news of the en-
gagement on the Afghan frontier between
Russians and Afghans has caused great ex.
citement here. The people are incensed at
Russia's duplicity in pretending to be anx-
ious for peace, while her object was mereiv
for the purpose of gaining time. The hght
first step by Russia in the long contemplate
ed contest for supremacy in Asia, and that
q bloody and desperate war between ner
and England is inevitable.

A COLORED FIEND.
In His Greed for Gold He Commits Dou-
bic Murder, and Tries to Add Two
Others to His List of Victims.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April "a bloody crime
was committed in Nameski, ILL.,, just across
the river from this city, early this morning.
Among the small farmers, a short distance
from the town, is negro named
Thomas Williams. His family consisted
of his wife and child, and nephew, about
eighteen years of age. Last week negro,
who gave his name as Higgins, called at
Williams house and asked for work. 1t
happened that Williams needed a man
at the time, and he engaged Higgins.
The latter worked until Tuesday, when
he asked for some money. In paying
bag which contained considerable silver.
Higgins eyed it covetously, and taking
his money left the premises. He returned
early this morning and was admitted into
the house. He was armed with two revol-
vers, and, placing the muzzle of one
against Mrs. Williams, ordered her to give
up all the money in the house. She pro-
duced nine dollars, but this only enraged
the fiend, who ran up to the bed and fired
twice, killing the husband. He then turned
the pistol against the nephew, and fired
twice, both bullets taking ef-
feet, and the boy is now lingering
on the verge or death. Mrs. Williams
ran out the door and was pursued nearly,
house and pillaged it, and tied up Will
liams' small child, who had been awakened
by the firing. He then set the house on
fire and left. The blaze was extinguished
by the nephew, who dragged himself
across the floor and fell fainting after this
exertion. Higgins has not yet been ar
rested.

General Grants Last Rest.

WASHINGTON, April SIT seems to be
settled that General GRANTS to be buried
in this city. General Sheridan, his COM
panion in arms and personal friend, has
made many suggestions as to his last rest
ing place. 1t was at first proposed that
the soil of Arlington should have the honor
is in State. The crypt of
the Capitol has also been suggested.
Some are in favor of the Congress
sional Cemetery. A tomb under the Wash
ington Monument has been spoken Of; also
burial in the White House lot, where q
monument in full view of and near the
Washington Monument would be erected.
OF all the places mentioned the Soldiers
Home and the Capitol crypt have received
the most favor, and the Soldiers Home is
much more favorably spoken of than the
crypt.

Of Removals for Cause.

WASHINGTON, April s.-The attempt to
remove Postmaster Palmer, at Rome, NY,
seems to be beset with difficulties. During
the session of the Senate the President
nominated a successor to Palmer, removing
the latter for cause which was not set forth
in communication to the Senate failed to
act upon the nomination, and Palmer, in
letter to the President, takes the ground
that inasmuch as the Senate did not con-
firm the person nominated to succeed him,
the President has not the power to
remove him. This case is under the Tenure
of Office Act, and is important, not that it
concerns Palmer, but because it will be a
precedent for future action. If the Presi.
dent fails to commission Palmer's success.
sor he will be placed in the attitude of in
dorsing the view taken by the Postmaster
he seeks to remove, and will in point of act
confess he has not the power of removal.
If, on the other hand, the President does
commission Mr.. Palmer's successor, it will
commit him to a general policy of removal
for cause.
