THE SOUDAN CAMPAIGN.

General Wilson Defends Himself from the
Charge of Dilatoriness.
LONDON. May, 20-Gen. Sir Charles Wilson,
who succeeded Gen. Sir Herbert Stewart in the
command of the advance corps of the Khartoum
relief expedition, after the latter was wounded,
has sent in his official report in response to the
charge that General Gordon might have been
rescued alive if the troops under command of
Sir Charles had not been unnecessarily halted
at Gubat for three days, The report explains
this three days delay in starting up the Nile to
relieve General Gordon by the necessity of Sc
curing the small force at Gubat against an attack
then threatened from Berber in the north. The
report further states that after the arrival Of the
troops at Guhat, it required great deal of time
to prepare the steamers for the advance to
Khartoum.

Cleveland Nominated for 1888.

Interview with Sam. j. Randall.
"Do you mean that the true policy for your
party is to give the administration united and
cordial support, with the distinct object of re.
nominating Mr.. Cleveland in 1882"
'That is my view Of the political situation.
On general principles it must be plain to anyone
that we can more easily re-elect Mr.. Cleveland
than elect new man. Or, to put this in diff
ferent shape, if we cannot re elect Mr. Cleve-
land, he having accomplished in part or in whole
the reforms desired by the people, then we can
not elect anyone. We must cluster around him
and his administration, and thus keep our party
together, strengthen it. and enable it to meet its
opponents in 1883 with q solid 'front.'"

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

A Sentinel Assassinated While on Duty at a
Powder Magazine.
LONDON, May 20.-A sentry at the Wysnor
Castle Powder Magazine, at Chatham, who went
on duty at o'clock this morning, was found
dead at his post two hours later. Beside him lay
a revolver, and bullet had passed through his
lungs. The sentry on the post 300 yards away
says he heard no report of pistol or gun. The
doctors who have examined the corpse do not be-
lieye that the sentry committed suicide. From
the position in which his body and rife were
found the authorities are disposed to regard the
case as one of assassination, committed to make
possibly, an attempt to blow up the magazine.

The milling Business in Minnesota.

MrNNEAPoLIs, May 20-The Northwestern
Miller, in its weekly review Of the Minneapolis
flour production, says there has been an entire
change in the milling situation. Last week three
mills closed down entirely and production
showed loss of 20, 900 barrels. This is owing
to the conviction of the millers that wheat is
good property, and rather than make concessions
on -four they concluded to stop their mills. Re-
ceipts past week-Wheat 6l2, $50 bushels; flour,
575 barrels; shipments-wheat 10000 bushels;
-four, 108, 905 barrels Wheat in store May 16--
Minneapolis, 3,287, ,270 bushels; St Paul, $4,000
bushels; Duluth, 1885, 623 bushels.

While Republican President was in the
White House great ado was made whenever
member of the Cabinet, or other officer of the ad-
ministration made ''tour of inspection and
loud cry Of '.junketing" was set up. The present
administration was not more than few weeks
old, however before the Secretary of the Navy
went on a tour to inspect the navy yards, and
this has been followed by the Secretary Of the
Wars journey with his family and suite in spe-
cial car to inspect" the military establishments
in the West. This seems to have escaped the
notice Of the Democratic press.

Salisbury and Churchilrs Criticisms.

LONDON, May 20-The Marquis Of Salisbury,
speaking this evening at a dinner Of the Middle

diplomacy was useless to stop the advance Of
Russia toward India. The right policy now
would be to mass all available troops in north
India, and fortify the Indian frontier. He up
braided the Liberal administration for its waste
of lives in the Soudan, and which had resulted
only in humiliating failures. and urged the

Peas are closely related to cloyer, both
belonging to the legumes, and barley is q
first cousin. The iacts here presented &C.
cord with those determined by experience,
experiment and analyses regarding clsver
and wheat. Clover does not respond
quickly to heterogeneous msnures, though
containing comparatively high per cent.
of nitrogen in its composition. Wheat re-
curing only little nitrogen, is not able to
obtain that little easily, and is much hsne.
f.ed by the applications o. soluble COM
pounds OF nitrogen. II is easy for clover TO
Get its large amounts OF nitrogen, while 1t Is
difficult for the wheat to obtain its small
per cent. OF The same element. The con-
cluslon here obtained is opposed to the use
OF the so cal ed special manures made for
any particular crop.
