THE WINTER WHEAT.
The Crops Badly Damaged by Winter Weather
A Reduction of 80 Per Cent Expected.

CHICAGO, April A-The Farmers Review, in
summing up the crop reports from its CORE
spondents, up to April II, says:
''The most important fact during the last
week is the DEVELOPMENT of the serious damage
to the winter wheat crop. Rains and mild
weather have come and gone but with them no
improvement of general character is shown in
the condition of the winter-wheat crop If we
harvest crop of 20 per cent. of the yield
of 1884, east of the Rocky mountains, we
shall do well. The causes which have brought
about these results have already been
stated, and the present reports are simply con-
firmation of past facts. The crop has been
badly winter killed, brought about by late seed

unprecedentedly dry and cold March. The

THE MANITOBA REVOLT.
Rumor that an Arrangement Has Been Made
by Which a Fight Will Be Averted.

OTTAWA Ont, April 14.-Mr Royal returned
yesterday, and simultaneously with his arrival
a rumor was set afloat that an arrangement had
been made by which a conflict with the half
breeds under Riel will be avoided. 1t is report
ed to-day that negotiations looking to peace were
opened yesterday by telegraph between General
Middleton and Louis Riel, and that such nego-
tiations are still proceeding.

Irvine sent dispatch to this city last night
stating that Riels force was very considerable

DYNAMITER ROSSA.
A Cold Audience and Battle with Constables
and Chancery Court Marshals.

LOUISVILLE, April 14.-It seems that ODyna-
mite Rosa struck lead of very combustible
material in the shape of old debts when he
landed in Louisville. The cool reception, to-
gether with the worry of constatles and other
officers of the law will probably cause Mr.. Rosa
to live on diet of raw beef and gunpowder for
some time to come, in order to raise sufficiency
of redhot steam to deliver one of his lectures.
Upon his arrival the dynamiter had not reached
his apartments in the Gait House until con-
stable met him and presented bail writ sued
out by Jesse Moore & Co., the whisky dealers,
for the recovery of debt of 500 which Rossa
contracted while he was prosperous New York
saloon keeper. The writ was taken out to force
the payment Of the debt A groceryman of this
city named John Gillian went on Rossas bond
and the case will be called in Squire Meglemery s
court at the expiration of ten days.
Another suit was filed in the Chancery Court
by Mr.. Thomas Hackett, liquor dealer, for
1920 OF upon purchase of whisky on January A..
1876 Rossa gave his note for the above amount,
payable in ninety days, but Mr.. Hackett has
never been able to collect the amount Notice
of the fling of the suit was served upon Rosa
by the marshal and he was compelled to make
defense or let the judgment go by default.

Of o. p Arnold yesterday in pleading guilty to

1t says: Notwithstanding that the course taken
by Brother Arnold received the encomiums of
the court and its officers, and the approval OF the
spectators, his example is not one that any
consistent Latter-day Saint can afford to follow.
The spectacle he presented is not a noble one.
If every member of the church similarly situated
to Mr.. Arnold were to pursue like course, it
would appear as If the men who profess to be
observers of the commandments of God were
overcome by the influence of fear. The Latter
day Saints cannot afford to ,renounce
any principle of their religion or any
of its obligations, no matter what
may be the degree of pressure brou ght to bear
to compel them to be recreant to their duty. If
they repudate that which God established, the
Lord will throw them out, and all lovers of con-
sistency and those who admire men who main
tain their convictions will despise them. We
regret that Brother Arnold should have assumed
the position he has taken"

PRINCESS MONTLEART.
A Life of Romance Ends in a Romantic and
Tragic Death.

VIENNA, April 14.-A few days ago the Prin-
cess Montleart died under mysterious circum-
stanoes, ct one of her castles near Kralseu. The
Princess was remarkable woman, and she died
under remarkable circumstances Princess
Montleart was the daughter of the Duchess of
Carignan, who was sister of Carl Albert once
king of Italy. She was, therefore, the aunt of
Victor Emanuel. The young Duchess had her
romance. She lived with her mother in Paris,
and fell in love with plain citizen, DR.. Monte
art. marriage was out of the question An
accident interposed, however which favored the
love of the young people. The young duchess
attended a theater, which was burned down. DR.
Montleart rescued the aristocratic girl by jeop-
ardizing his own life. He boldly jumped into the
flames and carried the girl, whose life had al
ready been despaired of, into the open air. Dr.
Montleart married the princess and was made a
duke by Napoleon. During thirty years the
couple lived either in Vienna or on their
country estate in the happiest union. About
week ago his wife followed him. The romance
is finished. Under romantic crcumstan-
ces that romantic aristocratlc figure
has disapp cared from life Princess Monte
art was sick for about six weeks. On
the Both of March she had some hot words with
one of her servants who came to announce to
her the fact that one of her favorte horses had
lost an eye. Under intense provocation she
discharged two shots from little pocket re-
volver against the servant. The second ball
struck the fur coat of bystander, a young
peasant, without, however. wounding him. The
princess discharged the third shot against her
own forehead, which caused only slight wound.
She then seized knife and cut her throat, pro-
ducing almost instant death. The coroner's in
quest established these facts, and the autopsy,
which was made by DR.. Lodzinski and DR..
Czigeweiz, placed the cause of death beyond all
doubt Princess Montleart left her magnificent
Jewels to her niece, the Queen of Italy The
rest of her personal property she beque athed to
humanitarian institutions and to friends Her
estate is estimated at several millions, which

reasons for wishing to prevent war which

moneyed interest of Berlin.
