A WAY THEY HATE At OXFORD.

The alluson is not TO oxford beyond the sea, but
TO another educational centre-Oxford, MISS, the
home of Secretary Lamar. 1t is evident that the
Secretary is needed in oxford things have not
been running smoothly in Oxford during his ab-
sence dispatch from Washington states that
the Secretary intends spending his vacation in the
Indian country. but really cannot credit the
report The Secretary cannot have read the latest
news from oxford or he would certainly decide
that his moral influence was needed there, needed
badly at oxford.
A telegram from oxford states that H. NJ sullivan,
Secretary OF tho Board of Trustees OF the state
University was shot and killed u rev nights ago by
I NJ Uowrv. Law Professor of the University
professor of taking the law into his own hands as
it were Howry himself it is stated was roughly
handled by sullivan, who did not allow himself TO
bo shot and killed without an emphatic protest. IL
il also stated that before yielding mp his life Sulh
van was amiable enough to forgive Howry.
Whether Howry has yet brought himself to foi give
Sullivan has not been made public.
The dispatch from oxford is short, but 1t Is long
enough to warrant the suspicion that the hnmanz
IN and eeyatIDg influences of the higher edncat'oh
have not ct got in their work at Oxford. The DIS
putc which occasioned the killing il is interesting

any other sort of a woman. 1t grew out. We are
informed, OF business Of the school board.
Mississippi is lively State. But it is well for an
educational centre not to be too lively. Inc crack
of pistol in the hands of a Professor laying out
fellow-workcr because of business of the school
board has tendency to disturb the still air OF
delightful studies. Mr.. Lamar had better go down

WASHINGTON. June 1.-The senate re-
sumed consideration of the Northern Pa
citic land forfeiture bill. Mr.. Dolph, in
defending the bill, denied the assertion
made by Mr.. Van Wyck, that the history of
the bill showed it to be in the interest of the
railroad company. If the senator from
Nebraska meant to insinuate what Mr..
Dolph had seen substantially stated in some
newspaper, that he (Mr. Delphi was in
any manner connected with the Northern
Pacific railroad, or any other railroad COM
pany ever Incorporated by act of congress,
or to which any grant was ever made, or
which had any interest whatever before
congress, the statement of the senator from
Nebraska was wrong. He (Mr. Doiph)
never had dollars worth of interest in
the Northern Pacific Railroad company,
nor had he ever had any connection with
that company, nor since he had been a
member of the senate had he ever been
counsel in any way for any corporation
having any interest before congress. He
would consider such thing entirely i'm
proper, and would be ready to support the
bill this morning introduced by Mr.. Beck.
He (Mr. DOlph) did not believe it to be for
the interest of the United States govern
ment to forfeit the Cascade grant to the
Northern Pacific, but such a forfeiture
would be for the interest of the Canadian
Pacific and the Union Pacific. He affirmed
that the amendment of the senator from
Nebraska (Mr. Van Wyck) would be direct
ly in the interest of the Union Pacific and
other roads. The word corporation" Mr..
Dolph said, had the same effect on some
people that red rag had on bull, and
they proceeded to fight it. horns down and
tail up" Laughter. He was not of that
number. The part of the Northern
Pacific grant for whose forfeiture this
bill provided should be forfeited, but the
amendment of Mr.. Van Wyck would go too
far. That was his opinion and whenever
the time came that he could not vote for
what he thought best for the prosperity and
glory of this great nation, he (Mr. Delphi
would not sit in the senate. Mr.. George
believed the bill wholly insufficient as ac-
complishing nothing in the discharge of the
great duty which the American congress
owed to the American people in the matter
of the forfeiture of unearned lands At Q
o'clock Mr.. George still having the floor,
the matter went over till tomorrow.

LnIIN KELLY,S DEATH.

A powerful factor in American politics
disappeared when JOHN KELLY died.
There has never been a single local pO-
litical organization which can compare in
power and the scope of its influence to
Tammany under the leadership of JOHN
KELLY, and it is not likely to find another
leader to take his place. He was a man of
great force of character, and was well cal
culated for active leadership. OF rugged
nature and imperious will, he literally
hewed his way to the front. A man of
such positive character and native
ability forced recognition in whatever
sphere he chose to operate. He was man
to make bitter enemies, for it was impossi-
bbe for person of his disposition to come
in contact with other people without pro-
ducing friction. Yet he possessed qualities
which made him friends, and he possessed
the faculty of attaching his friends to him
and holding them as though they were
grappled with hooks of steel. But what
ever different estimates may be placed upon
JOHN KELLY, he possessed one trait of char
acter which excited the admiration of
friend and foe alike. He was an honest
man. He never prostituted his power and
influence to personal gain. Although he
was at the head of political organization
which at one time absolutely controlled the
municipal government of the great city of
New York. no one can truthfully accuse
JOHN KELLY of ever putting dollar into
his own pocket that was not legitimately OBJ
tanned. He has been accused of political
treachery, but no one dare tarnish his name
with an accusation of personal dishonesty.

The Worlds wheat Crop.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The acting CON-
missioner OF agriculture, in reply to reso-
ution of the house making inquiries con-
corning stocks of corn and wheat in this
and other countries, the demands of con-
sumption and the prospect of production
throughout the world, has transmitted an
exhaustive compilation of statistics by Prof.
Dodge, the Statistician of the department
of agriculture. The tables show that the
worlds production of wheat in 1885 was
2, ITO, 900. 600 bushels, the requirements of
consumption 2, 165, 900, 900 bushels, pre-
senting deficiency of $4,000, 900 bushels
drawn from the previous years surplus of
1876, coo, 900 bushels. They find the product
of Europe a medium, those of India and
Australia large. and heavy reduction in
the United States. For the supply of the
coming year, the crops of Australia, India
and South America, already harvested, are
probably about 80, 900, 900 bushels less than
those of last year, while those of the United
States promise fully 100, 900, 600 bushels
more than the harvest of 1885.
The wheat in the United States on May
was 104, 600, 900 bushels against 152, 600, 600
bushels in 1885. Of the commercial stocks
of wheat New York had 4, 1873, O95, Buffalo
2,480, III, Chicago II, TIT, 2O4, Milwaukee
4, 335. $50, Minneapolis 4, 7O7, 900, and Du-
luth 1898, 74S. The crop of corn in 1885,
1886 was 1,617, 00O.0o0 bushels, the stock
5S7, 600, 900 bushels, and the expectation
AZ, 600, 900 bushels. The estimated acreage
of winter wheat now growing is "a, 727, OS7;
spring wheat II, 500, 900: total SO, 527, OS6.
