Crep Prospects in England.

CF0p Prospects i'm England.
LONDON, May 40.-A most encouraging fea-
ture Of the agricultural outlook is the favora-
BILE change in the Hweather which has come
warmth of sunshine will produce the best re-
suits, especially as it has been preceded by CO.
pious rains. The backward condition of crops
and discoloration OF wheats has been source
OF complaint, but it is now admitted that no
lasting injury has been done, and if the pres
ent fine weather continues a rapid improve
ment in the harvest prospects is expected.
GIadstOne's Health.
LONDON, May 30.-Mr. Gladstone yesterday
afternoon, In order to show that he was not SO
feeble as the report made him, felled holly
tree. 1t took him an hour to do it, Wits ask
why the Premier cut down Christmas tree,
the emblem of peace on earth. Today he had
an attack of influenza, and is painfully hoarse.
He was unable to address crowd that gather

Victor HugO's Funeral.
LONDON, May 30.-The Paris police officials
have decided to prohibit the carving of red
Hags by participants in the Victor Hugo funer-
n procession on Monday, asserting that any
display OF this communistic emblem might in
cite fight between the factions and result in
bloodshed and probable loss of innocent lives.
The communists say they will carry their
hags In spite OF the police, and are organizing
1or the defence OF the emblem. Over 800 of
them nave already sworn to stand together as
body-guard to the color bearers.
The Parnellite tribute for Victor Hugo's fu-
neral is a gigantic shamrock crown. Many
hundreds OF distinguished Londoners leave to-
day to attend the ceremonies. Samson Law,
the English publisher of Victor Hugo's works,
reports an immense demand for them. Thou
sands OF sghtseers also are going to Paris.

article, in which it endsavors to prove that the

THE INDIANS.
Band of Hostlles in Colorado
Broken Up.
More Outrages Reported and Troops
Waiting to Revenge Them.

DENVER, Col, May 31.-A special from Sill
yer City says: Although the Indians have
apparently left this immediate vicinity, many
fresh trails have been discovered in the coun.
try about here, but these trails are small, indi-
eating that the bands are broken up and are
wandering through the country, doubtless
seeking way to escape. The people are thor
oughly aroused and it seems impossible for the
Indians to get back to their reservation. If
they fail to find way of escape to Mexico the
campaign will probably last two or three
months. Most of the squsws aud children are
believed to have gone South while the bucks
kept the attention OF the troops attracted else
where. Cowboys have discovered the bodies
OF four Indians killed by Bunting and Haynes
in Magellan Greek. They were covered W ith
stones.
A mai named Watts came in from Twin
Sister Peak today. He was q guide for the
troops from Fort Bayard, and yesterday when
near Wilson Canon Watts became separated
from the command. He was discovered by a
small band Of Indians who cut off his retreat.
The latter fred and the Indians gave chase,
killing his horse, but he escaped to the fort,
leaving the troops in pursuit
Indians were seen near Georgetown yester-
day and fresh signs of them are seen Crossing
the road between here and Ballsrd's Peak.
They are supposed to be larger band of hos
tiles. There are reports Of killing from other
sections but none in this city. Mexican troops
are gathering on the border waiting for the
hostilsE to cross The present is the most
bloody and bold raid made in many years. In
dians are going through sill the settled sections
where perfect immunity from attack was felt.

CHICAGO, May 31.-The Farmers Review
publishes a complete survey of the western
and Southern wheat growing States as to the
probable crops, having received reports from
over 5000 correspondents, covering every wheat
producing county in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana
Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Kan
Ras, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Dakota, together with q livery accurate
and recent summary from the Pacific coast re-
gion, made by the Associated Press, and form
ing, it is believed, one of the most complete re-
ports ever prepared. The information is be-
lieved to be the most exhaustive and latest
that has yet been obtained, and foreshadows
the State and government reports. III sum-
ming up its detailed reports the Review says:
Tue gloomiest views which have been advane-
ed concerning the winter wheat outlook for
1886 must now be accepted as most accurate,
and promising conditions of 1884 have this
season been completely reversed The abso-
lutte uAifermity of the returns indicate that
the outlook for winter sown wheat this year is
the worst in ten years, and it may be now set
down as positive that under the most favorng
conditions the total winter and spring wheat
yield is to fall considerably under the short
crop of 1881, when the total product was $780,
600 GOO bushels,

New YORK, May 31.-Richard Hands, night
clerk at Crawford's drug store, 120 Hudson
street, was murdered last night by unkn own
parties. When tbs day clerk came on duty
this morning he found Hands seated in a
chair in little back room where he slept with
his kull crushed in and his throat cut from
ear to ear. His bed had not been occupied in
dicating that the deed was perpetrated early in
the night. A pistol with blood end hair ad
herring to it was found near by and it is be-
lieved TO have been the weapon first used.
There was no evidence of a struggle and it is
thought blows on the head were dealt from be-
hind and the throat was cut after the clerk
had sank in his chair. AS yet tho police have
no clue to the murderer. Hands was un-
usually popular and was not known to have
an enemy. His domestic relations were of
the happiest. He lived with his wife and TWO
children opposite the building in which was
the drug store. Saturday night about II his
wife took his lunch to him as usual and left
him in good spirit. She was preparing his
breakfast this morning when tidings of his
terrible death were borne to her. With cry
of anguish she fell fainting to the floor and it
was feared for some time that she would not
survive the shock.
