Wheat Failure.

MILWAUKEE, June 16.-In response to a
telegraphic inquiry from S. H. Seamans,
secretary of the National Millers associa-
ton, to W. J. Chamberlain, the Ohio sta
tistician, as to whether the latter had good
reason for basing his estimate of the wheat
crop at 270,oO0,00O bushels, the
following reply was received to-
day: eyes; 270, 900 was
nay June estimate. Three hundred million
was my May estimate. Wheat lost rapidly
in April and May and lately the fly has
been very destructive and much sup
posed wheat proves to be cheat. Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and
California give only 10000, 600. My in
formation from these sources is the most
reliable. The wheat failure is the most
disastrous for twenty years.

Logan Likes Cleveland.

Special to the GloDe.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The Logan in
yincibles of Baltimore, white Republican
club, has rendered banquet to Gen. Logan
at any date most convenient to himself.
The general has asked that the matter be
postponed until late in the coming autumn.
From some of the utterances Of Senator
Logan since his recent arrival in Washing
ton the inference has been drawn that he
will not assume any position of antagonism
to the administration in the senate. This,
the generals friends say, is unwarranted.
Gen. Logan is already publicly in the field
as candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for president in 1888. Not
only his own strong partisanship
but his personal interests will put
him with the majority of his party in
the senate, and whatever policy is deter
mined upon will be sure to receive his sup
port. 1t is fact, however, that Gen. Lo-
gan has saveral times since his call On the
president spoken quite highly of Mr.. Cleve-
land, describing him as man Of strong
character and one who is trying to give the
country good administration. In answer
to question yesterday Gen. Logan denied
recent statements as to estranged relations
between him and Mr.. Blaine. It is known
that Gen. Logan was not at all pleased with
the manner in which Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
EIkns managed the late campaign, and ex-
pressed himself to that effect several times,
both verbally and in writing, but his
friendly personal relations with Mr.. Blaine,
he asserts, have never been impaired.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The Hon. q.
FL. Barger, chairman of the Ohio state cen
trail committee, is in the city. He claims
that the Republican leaders of that state
have formed strong combination having
for its object the election of Foraker as gov
ernOr, Charles Foster for senator
and John Sherman for rpesldent.
''My information is drawn largely
from Republican sources" said MI.
Barger. ''There is plenty of money be
hind them and it will be used solely with
this object in view. An effort will be made
by the Democrats to force Hoadly to accept
the nomination, but don't believe he Will
do so. He is very much averse to neglect
ing his private business any longer, and ne
is more than anxious to return to private
life again."

Civil Service Absurdity.

WASHINGTON. June 16.-The conviction

teal letter The last report of the commits
sion indicates a series of questions pro-
pounded by the examining board to persons
applying for minor positions, which are re-
garded as absurd and ridiculous to
the last degree. Besides having no

How to Correct Railway Abuses.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The United States
senate committee on interstate commerce,
after hearing the testimony of George M.
Bogue, formerly one of the Illinois board Of
railroad commissioners, and G. M. Wicker,
agent of the Chicago freight bureau, ad-
journed and left for st. Louis. MI.
Bogue thought the government commission
should not attempt to form a commission,
while Mr.. Wicker claimed there were rail-
way abuses which could only be corrected
by the establishment of federal tribunal.
He believed the commission should be COM
posed of three men, appointed for life, and
having judicial power to settle all disputes
between shippers and roads.

Gen. Grant Said to be in Very Precarious
Condition and the Trouble
Increasing.
His Power Of Speech Lost and the Swell
ing Of His Throat Oonsidera-
bly, Enlarged.
His Trip to Mount McGregor Safely
Made, But Enta1l1ng Pain
and Fatigue.
Grave Fears Entertained as to the
Wisdom of His Removal at
Present.
Very Much Worse.

NEW YORK, June 16.-The Sun this
morning says: Every many Of those who
are informed as to Gen. Grants actual con-
dition look upon the plan of moving him
from his comfortable home with grave mis-
givings. That his life now hangs by very
slender thread there is little doubt among
them. His throat, in one aspect, was
worse last night than it has ever been be-
fore. Col. Fred Grant told reporter last
evening that his father had totally lost the
power of speech. He is still able to articu-
late family, but even those who are most
accustomed to his mode of speech cannot
make out what he says except at very brief
intervals when his throat was tenn
porarily not clogged with mucus. This
is something that has never happened be-
fore and it is development of the past
twenty-four hours. It is said by those who
are well-infOrmed that his mouth can no
longer be opened sufficiently wide to enable
the physicians to make an ocular eXamina
ton, and when they feel of the affected
parts, they give the patient such excruciat-
ing pain that they refrain from it as much
as possible. In outward appearance, when
clothed and in his easy chair with wraps
about him, the general has
NOT VERY GREATLY CHANGED.
His face has aged, it is true, and is scanned
with wrinkles, but it retains to great de-
gree its natural fullness. But aside from
this he is but shadow of himself. His
body is wasted almost to skel-
eton, and the bones of his hands
and wrists show through the tight
ly drawn skin with the CHASTITY distinctness
of a consumptive. That which mostshocks
those who have of late seen the general, is
the great Malignant looking swelling which
has appeared on his neck under the right ear.
1t has of late grown with great rapidity and
is now as big as a mans two fists put to-
gether. It is kept concealed most of the
time by wraps about the generals throat.
Of course Gen. Grants household are better
able to judge than anybody else what is
prudent and what is imprudent for him to
do; but Notwithstanding their decision that
it is safe for him to make the experiment
they are going to make, there are many who
have closely watched his case from the
commencement with feeling of grave anX-
iety as to the result. They doubt whether
the mountain air will suit Gen. Grant.

Tria1 of Bank OfficiaIs.

PITTsBURG, June 16.-The trial of W.
N. Riddle and G. L. Reiber, president and
cashier of the defunct Pennsylvania bank,
On a charge of conspiracy was resumed in
the criminal court to-day. The court room
was densely packed, and the greatest inter-
est was manifested in the proceedings.
The individual bookkeeper, Mr.. Rowley,
and the teller, Mr.. Mormont, were the only
witnesses examined up to the noon recess.
The latter gave detailed statement con-
cerning the payment of checks on the
accounts which were Overdrawn, and
stated that eX-PreSident Hopkins, Dir
rector Mclaughlin and others examined
the Overdrawal, and must have
been aware Of their existence. Mr.. Hop
kins would mark the places on the books
when he had examined them. In the after
noon j. M. Young, the general bookkeeper,
was called. He stated at one time, in
October, 1883, there was difference OF
$740,000 between the general and indi-
vidual ledgerS, caused by the overdrafts not
having been taken account of in the state
ment book on May 81, 1884. By Mr.. Rid
dies direction he drew statements and
charged up 1922. 900 cash slips, which re-
duced the amount due depositors 81, ,018,-
600. Mr.. Young stated further, upon cross
examination. that directors at times had 20
OvERDRAwN THEIR ACCOUNTS.
The largest amounts were: 0. M. Covitt,
SIG, $40; A. A. Hutchinson, S45, ,257; D. W.
Carroll, SO, 900; James FL. Hopkins, $740.
He stated that he did not know anything
about the fictitious accounts. He was not
on the auditing committee from January,
1888, to the time the bank closed, and
had not examined the individual ledger.
Director Hare was next called. He had
never heard of the accounts of Watson s.
Co. ct al. In answer to the question:
''What did you do as director?" he
replied: 81 don't know as did much. 1
did about as much as the rest" Did you
count the cash and verify statements Of the
auditing committee?" 81 counted the
small change Directors Severance, Hutch
inson, Reymer and Carroll were then put on
the stand. They denied all knowledge of
the fictitious account. Mr., Carroll stated
that as one of the auditing committee, in
December, 1884, he certified that the state
ment was correct. He had not examined
the liabilities of the bank beyond the cash
and bills receivable, but supposed every
thing was all right. He was not aware OF
the overdraft, as they did not appear in the
weekly statement. he never inquired, al
though his own account was frequently
overdrawn. Court then adjourned until
tomorrow.

eral and his household and the servants
followed, forming a little procession. On
the cottage stoOp Miss Drexel welcomed
the party and conducted the ladies to their
rooms. The general walked to his room,
on the same level as the broad piazza, and
there he sank into chair, with pillows be-
meath and behind him. PerspiratiOn was
standing on his face and the
STRAIN OF THE JOURNEY
gave way to a reaction of extreme weak
ness. He lay back with closed eyes and
the nurse famed his face. DR.. Douglas
was anxious to examine and cleanse the
generals throat. He found that consider
able irritation had been caused by fine
black dust which had lodged in the throat
during the journey, but said that the sur
face underneath, though infiamed, appeared
better than he had expected. The swelling
outside had steadily increased after passing
Hudson, and during the last hour
of the trip it rapidly filled for
ward on the neck and below
the collar. The generals voice, which was
better at starting than on Monday, had ut
terly failed him, and any effort to speak re-
suited only in faint and almost inaudible as
pirations. The doctor thought this was
due to the fatigue, which was greater dur
ing the last hour of the trip than at any
other time When the doctor had cleansed
and treated his throat, the general arose,
and with his cane slowly walked into his
room and lay down. In faint whispers he
let DR.. Douglas know that he was very
weary and was glad the journey was ended.
Then his pulse, ordinarily seventy-one,
was eighty beats to the minute. The fam
lily are all quartered at the cottage, but DR..
Douglas has rooms in the house.
DIR. Douglas remained the entire evening
with Gen. Grant, who, despite fatigue, was
wakeful until 10 o'clock. His throat was
then painted with cocoaine and he settled
for the night. DR.. Douglas retired to an
adjoining room, though he has rooms at the
hotel, and the nurse was left to watch with
the general. who at this hour III p n.y. is
quiet as though sleeping. The family are
now retiring for the night.
